A Mystery - Jonah Morgan

1) Can you please advise if the Will of Thomas Williams 1792 that you mentioned is on the Wales National Library free online site you referenced
2) Are you able to tell me who was the father/grandfather of the Thomas Oriel who took over Garnass after Sarah Williams lost her claim to it? Was it James or William (sons of Thomas Oriel of Garnass)? 
3) Are you aware of any other material I could access to further my understanding of this family? NSWelshwoman

Answers

1)   Yes SD -1800/30
2)   No, but I could have a pretty good guess. Thomas Oriel already held Garnass prior to the court case. The Law just confirmed his right to the Farm.
3)   No, there is no depository, person, or research establishment worldwide that comes anywhere close  to my Documented and Photographic history of the family from 1480 to the present, I’m afraid its all sat on the shelves of my study. I'm afraid there is far more tinvloved with research that just what can be found online.
4)   Have you looked at ; http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/PEM/Pemtax1.html

Thank you Orielbenfro for responding so promptly. The genuki reference is great - most interesting thank you. I have just looked through the Thomas Williams Will 1800/30, of Tally Parish, CAM (thanks for this ref too). I am not sure if I have the right will here though as I can find no mention of Sarah Williams. Am I missing something?

As to my preference for online sources, I do hope that I can follow up soon with a visit to Camarthen to check out what I can. I am enormously grateful, however, that one can do so much on line as a "first port of call" to get a bit of an idea about the scope of things, prior to making arrangements to trek across the globe to research original sources. That said, however, I greatly appreciate your help in pointing me in these useful directions. Regards, NSWelshwoman

Drop me an email address by P.M. only and I will send you a copy of the will.
