CONTEXT
Administrative and biographical history: Mathew Evans, a solicitor and twice mayor of Aberystwyth (1734 and 1760) is the first recorded occupier of Cwmcynfelyn. He left his estate to his nephew, Mathew Davies of Wileirog-uchaf (sheriff of Cardiganshire in 1790). Mathew Davies married Jane, daughter of Roderick Richards of Plas Penglais, Aberystwyth, and had two daughters and co-heiresses. Jane, the eldest, married Isaac Lloyd Williams (1771-1846) of Lincolns Inn, the son of David Williams of Ty'n-y-wern and Ystrad Teilo in the parish of Llanrhystud, Cardiganshire. Isaac was succeeded by his eldest son, Mathew Davies Williams (1800-1860), who sold parts of the estate to the Gogerddan estate. Cwmcynfelyn appears to have passed out of the hands of the Williams family by 1881.
