Biographical/Historical note
The documents relate to a number of properties situated mainly in the parish of Cwmcarvan, but also in Mamhilad, Monmouth, Trelleck, Llanishen and Westbury. There may be a family connection; several documents relate to James Richards of Mitchel Troy and his grandson James Richards of Abergavenny who owned land in Cwmcarvan in the 18th and early 19th centuries. A series of documents from the first half of the 18th century is concerned with the Williams family of Bristol and Cwmcarvan.
Scope and Contents note
Title deeds and documents including manorial surrenders and admittance, and copies of Court Rolls (Trelleck Manor, and Manor of Usk and Trelleck). A fraudulent conveyance of land in Cwmcarvan is described in D746/4 dated 1638/9; a centenarian, John Thomas Turner, had bequeathed land to his grandson but had been persuaded to sign away the lands to another person.
