Observations:

 

This is an unusual Inventory both because it is on behalf of a woman and because it identifies assets on a room by room basis. There is reason to believe it may relate to Trelan Farm, Craswall, now derelict.

 

Jane Jenkins’ will [National Library of Wales BR/1796/8] was made in April 1796. Freehold estates in Clodock and Michaelchurch Escley were left to Thomas Jones; nephews John, William, Thomas, Samuel and Robert Jenkins; nieces Ann Brentnall wife of George and Sible Arnold wife of Arnold AB Arnold; servant James Jones. Executors James Jones and William Beavan; witnesses James Jones, Elizabeth Gwynn and Samuel [?].

 

Jane is described elsewhere as a spinster but the word is crossed out on the cover page of the Inventory.
