Hello Goldie61 1nd GR2 😊The other Bounder was Humphrey Williams Gent of Battle, so it is likely that Hugh Beavan was also a "gent". The squiggle before the "gent" may have been "idem"  latin for "same" (In the same Parish of Battle, Breconshire.

Thanks for your help and expertise!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1674 Bondl squiggle

Hi, Please have a look at the underlined text in this 1674 Bond downloaded from the Library of Wales.
Is Hugh Beavan a Yeoman or a Gentleman?

Hi, there is a village in Carmarthenshire:
"LLANVIHANGEL-AR-ARTH, or YEROTH (LLAN-FIHANGEL-AR-ARTH), a parish, in the union of NEWCASTLE-EMLYN, higher division of the hundred of CATHINOG, county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES"
I think this may be the Llanvihangell in question.
I would still like to have your comments!
Best Regards,
Llanfi

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1639 Welsh name
« on: Monday 04 November 24 05:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi!
I downloaded an image of a 1632 Will by Thomas ap Hugh of Llanpumsaint Carmarthen.
The last line seems to include the word "Llanvihangell"
Please see if you can decipher the rest of this entry.. I can't!!!
All replies will be gratefully acknowledged.

The Common Room / Re: Welsh Wills from NLW have copies of Bonds with "Bounders" who warrant execution

Thanks for your helpful advice. I think I will look elsewhere for this information. In any case, most of the Bounders (Bondsmen) are related to the deceased in some way or another.

best regards

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Signature of a Catholic Notary 1680
« on: Wednesday 11 September 24 01:15 BST (UK)  »
Hello Bookbox!
Thanks for your comments.
Hugh Beavan's signature appears on several Wills of that period, all within a few miles of Battle, Breconshire. He was a Bondsman (along with David Williams of Battle) for Thomas Pugh's estate in Merthyr Cynog, 1670.
Hugh Beavan was a bondsman on two Wills of the Williams family of Battle, where he is described as  a "yeoman".
John Williams, Gent of Battle, is a bounder for Hugh Beavan's Will of 1680, so the reltionship was still quite close, even when the Parish of Battle required the recantation.
Interesting that David Williams, the above John Williams son, required confirmation in the Church of Wales to get married in 1695!
Thanks again!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Signature of a Catholic Notary 1680
« on: Tuesday 10 September 24 06:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi!

This is an unusual signature for the time and place (Breconshire 1680). It is found on a few Welsh Wills as a witness, but I think he was a notary or lawyer by occupation. Most importantly he was a known Catholic in the Parish of Battle, Beconshire, and this signature is taken from his recantation of his Catholic religion to satisfy the clerics for a burial in the Church Cemetary.
As a result, the signature was probably developed in this style when he attended Catholic insructions as a child.
I would like your comments regarding the likely status of Hugh Beavan in the attached signature.
Thanks!
