Monmouthshire miscellanea

Fifty-three files of unbound material accumulated by Bradney during the preparation of A History of Monmouthshire and containing press and proof copies, transcripts and abstracts of, and extracts from, manuscripts, deeds and documents, holograph and autograph letters, pedigrees and genealogical notes, press cuttings, etc., generally arranged under parishes. Much of the material is in the autographs of friends and official copyists. This volume contains miscellaneous documents, including an abstract of a court roll of the lordships of Usk and Caerleon, 1539-1540, in the autograph of Edward Owen, an abstract of a survey of the lordship of Monmouth, 1613, and a facsimile of the instrument of association of the residents of Monmouthshire for the protection of Queen Elizabeth, 1584; letters, 1902-1929; and a large number of pedigrees, chiefly printed, of the families of Lorimer of Rockfield, Phillips of Risca, Davies of Penbiddle, Lawrence of Llantarnam, Powell of Llantilio Crossenny, Powell and Williams of Llangasty Talyllyn (Brecknockshire), Powell of Castle Madoc (Brecknockshire), Gunter of Tregunter (Brecknockshire), Evans of Llangeler (Carmarthenshire), Howell of Penycaerau (Carmarthenshire), Williams of Aberglaslyn (Caernarvonshire), and several border-county and other English families.
