THEOBALD PAPERS 1975080 Ffynhonnell / Source Miss Gwendolyn Mary Theobald, Cricieth. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1974-75 Disgrifiad / Description A miscellaneous group of deeds, documents and papers (23 items), the majority of which concern the donor's ancestors, the Panton family of Plasgwyn, Pentraeth, Anglesey (see Griffith, J.E., Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families [1914], pp. 25, 104). There are two deeds relating to lands in Anglesey and Merioneth respectively, bearing date 1485-6 (I Henry VII) and 1602; also a licence granted in 1681 and a faculty granted in 1818, both concerning seating in Pentraeth church for the inhabitants of Plasgwyn. The collection contains one manuscript `A Catalogue of the Manuscripts, which Paul Panton Esqr. of Plas gwyn, bought of the Rev. Evan Evans, Octr 27, 1787, and received at Plas gwyn Decr 29th. 1787.' This catalogue appears to be a copy of a copy made by David Thomas [Dafydd Ddu Eryri] in 1792 of the original. If, however, the catalogue in B.M. Add. Ms. 15024, pp. 207-11, is an exact copy of Paul Panton's original catalogue then it should be noted that it differs somewhat in detail from this catalogue. A note at the end of this Ms. states it to have been transcribed from David Thomas's Ms., apparently on June 6th, 1821 at `Y Fron Oleu, Llanrug, near Caernarvon', where David Thomas was then living. The remainder of the papers and documents in the collection are

of the late 18th., and 19th., century, and mainly concern the Panton family of Plasgwyn and some of their descendants. Amongst these papers is an interesting letter from Richard Llwyd, `The Bard of Snowdon', to Paul Panton, dated April 5 [?], enclosing a pedigree apparently designed to illustrate the writer's contention that the Prysaddfed estate would eventually be inherited by the recipient's family. There is also a copy of a deed of appointment of properties in the city of Chester by Mrs. Martha Panton, 20 December 1770, a copy of the will of the same person, 18 December 1811, a copy of that part of the will of Sir John Bulkeley of Presaddfed and Dronwy which concerns his widow, later the second wife of Rev John Elias, a letter from Thomas Panton of Newmarket, 15 April 1772, and some few other papers. A small number of papers concern the donor's grandfather, Major John Owen Jones Priestley, and among them is his commission as temporary captain, 25 February 1875.

[These include four medieval Richard of Hexham's history of Hexham Priory, of Northern English provenance (NLW MSS 21238B, 21240C, 21241E, 21245D); a mid-fifteenth century manuscript of Lydgate's Life of Our Lazy, with one illuminated page (NLW MS 21242C); and a large French manuscript, of c. 1500, containing the chronicle of the reign of Charles V from Les Grandes Chroniques de France, followed by chronicles for the reigns of Charles VI (by Jean Juvenal and Gilles de Bouvier), Charles VII (by Jean Chartier) and Louis XI, with three fine full page miniatures (NLW MS 21247E). There are four Welsh manuscripts: a substantial and important book of pedigrees compiled by William Cynwal, begun in 1565 (NLW MS 21249B); an imperfect sixteenth century copy of Brut y Brenhinedd (Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae translated into Welsh) (NLW MS 21250B); a valuable collection of Welsh poetry, mostly cywyddau, some previously unknown, copied in the first half of the seventeenth century, apparently for the Wynn family of Y Berth Ddu, co. Caernarfon (NLW MS 21248D); and a smaller collection of Welsh poetry, again mostly cywyddau, copied by one John Jones at Mostyn in 1725 (NLW MS 21252B). There are three library catalogues (NLW MSS 21239B, 21243E, 21244C): one containing the beginnings of a catalogue of the Gloddaeth library in 1692 and a catalogue of the Mostyn library circa 1713; a full and valuable catalogue of the Mostyn and Gloddaeth libraries compiled by Sir Thomas Mostyn, 4th bart., circa 1730 ; and a catalogue of the Gloddaeth library, including all the manuscripts, made by Edward Parry of Chester before its incorporation in the Mostyn library in 1842. Two other manuscripts compiled by Sir Thomas Mostyn, 4th bart., are a commonplace book of Latin and English poetry and a book including lists of Greek and Roman coins statues and busts, cameos and intaglios. An early eighteenth century copy of Sir John Wynn's History of the Gwydir Family derives from Bishop Humphrey Humphreys's copy and is followed by a text of the tract published by Ballinger (History of the Gwydir Family, 1927) under the title Memoirs preceded by an interesting and otherwise unknown prologue to the tract which not only strengthens the case for Sir John Wynn's authorship but also suggests that he may have had a larger work on his own county in mind (NLW MS 21253D). The other manuscripts are: a late seventeenth century transcript of the Welsh section of John Leland's Itinerary, probably copied from the Bodleian manuscript (NLW MS 21246D); a commonplace book of one Richard Salusbury, written 1619-circa 1634, including medical recipes and pedigrees (NLW MS 21251B) ; and an eighteenth century collection of household recipes (NLW MS 21254C). Altogether the seventeen manuscripts make a substantial addition to the larger group of Mostyn manuscripts acquired by the Library in 1918 (NLW

MSS 3020-76). A detailed catalogue of the new manuscripts has been compiled and is available in typescript. Nodiadau Schedule Available.
