Hi Rol
Thank you for the explanation. I think I understand
It seems odd that they would be dated thirty years apart and particularly since I've also found a probate of yet another Hugh Salesburie of Bodyngharad Nov 11, 1623 (which does not show up with the NLW documents listed on their website anyway). If the 1630 Hugh S and Robert S were both deceased by 1650, and the latter one does mention 6400 acres and 20 pounds rent, do you think this means the dispute was settled by their respective estates?
Thomas Vychan S caught my eye because I found these:

I'm getting more and more confused. I don't see how the Hugh above can be my Hugh who died in 1661 because he mentions a brother William ap John and unless he was about 90 when he died the timing is not right. Neither does the scenario of my Hugh being the son of the John S baptized in 1598 because in that case he would died at about 40 with 13 grandchildren who were each left five pounds - a fair sum of money in 1661. He did have a daughter Margaret though
If only there were more baptism and marriage records. It seems to be a case of so near and yet so far.
