Dear Kate, Have been out of town for awhile...just saw your request for information on the above. Since it doesn't appear you've had a reply here goes... >From Major Francis Jones "Historic Houses of Pembrokeshire and Their Families": CILWENDEG, Capel Colman. This place is situated about half a mile east of Capel Colman parish church...one and one quarter miles to the northeast of Boncath. The first owner was Llewelyn ap Howel, descended from Edwyfed Fychan of Gwynedd, Seneschal of Prince Llewelyn the Great. Llewelyn was there in the early 16th century...followed by his son David Llewelyn...he was followed by his son Llewelyn David. The last named was followed by his son David Llewelyn living in 1646. In 1670 he paid for two hearth taxes...suggesting it was a small house then. On 17 September 1687 he conveyed the capital messuage of Cilwendeg to his son and heir apparent Jonathan Llewelyn. Jonathan mortgaged the property in the same year to David John. On 13 January 1698-9 Jonathan assigned the equity of redemption of Place Kilwendeg, Wenros Ucha and Isha, to Miss Mary Skyrme, daughter of William Skyrme of Llawhaden Esq. The mortgage of 1687 held by David John passed to his widow and son who assigned it to Jacob Morgan of Vaynor, Manordeifi, attorney, who afterwards acqured the freehold of Cilwendeg and lived there. Jacob died in 1732-33 and left three daughters. The property passed to the youngest daughter, Margaret Morgan who married John Jones of Llanbadarn, Cards., and settled at his wife's house. Their descendants succeeded to Cilwendeg; Morgan Jones was High Sheriff in 1801 and his nephew of the same name in 1831. The family left Cilwendeg in the second half of the 19th century and were settled at Llwynbedw, Penylan in the Tivyside, and at Llanmilo near Pendine. Morgan Jones of Llanmilo was High Sheriff of Carms. in 1909. Fenton in his Tour of 1811 writes 'another handsome mansion of modern growth, Cylywendeg, bursts upon the eye, built by the gentleman who how inhabits it, Morgan Jones Esq., owner of the Skerry Lighthouse off the north coast of Anglesey, a property from which he derives a large income.' In 1840 Lewis says 'Cilwendeg the seat of Morgan Jones Esquire, is an elegant mansion erected within the last fifty years by the uncle of the present proprietor, ornamental with a handsome receding portico in good taste, and occupies the center of an extensive demesne beautifully laid out in plantations and pleasure grounds to which are entrances to two handsome lodges, recently added by the present proprietor.' A photograph of the mansion was taken in 1871 by Allen. It was advertised for sale in 1931...'a handsome modern mansion' of three stories...on the ground floor was hall, inner hall, double drawing room, didning room, morning room, library, billiard room, two conservatories, domestic offices. The first floor had twelve bed and dressing rooms and offices. The second floor had six rooms. It is now used as an old people's home...no trace of the earlier residence. Regards, Elaine.
