Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Jenkin of Llanfihangel-ar-arth

Hi
Sorry I'm not able to help with your initial Jenkins query, but on reading this thread the names Mary and John Jenkins Nantyllech rung a distant bell.
I've checked this out and found the reference - eventually lol.
I've been researching a friend's family and the reference I found is in the "Historic Carmarthenshire Homes" book and relates to Mary.
It's all to do with her family's estate and is saying that her 2 brothers died in 1697 and 1704, and the estate then passed to their 3 sisters as co- heiresses :- "namely Mary married to John Jenkins of Nantyllech, Llanfihangel Iorarth, ap Jenkin Griffith of Alltwalis ".....followed by details of the other 2 sisters. (one of whom married into the family I've been researching)
Alltwalis is in Llanfihangel ar Arth, and online at the NLW there is a possible 1691 will of Jenkin Griffith, Llanfihangel, who is said to John's father in the above quote.
The will is only a couple of pages, but he names all his children, including sons John, Thomas and Griffith.
I hope this makes sense and hasn't confused you further. I have to go out now but will be back later if you need me to clarify what I've just written
