A manuscript volume, recently repaired and rebound, containing ‘The Pedigree of Rice Vaughan Esqr. one of the Auncients of Grayes Inne in ye Countye of Middlesex’ based largely on a ‘card’ or pedigree drawn for Rice or Rees Vaughan by Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt, 1652, which is here reduced into book form and continued with additions to 1685 by Henry Vaughan also of Grays Inn [and Gelli-goch near Machynlleth, co. Montgomery], elder son of the said Rice Vaughan (NLW MS 13051B). (For Rice Vaughan [d. 1670] see The Dictionary of Welsh Biography down to 1940 (1959), p.1005; he married Catherine, eldest daughter of Robert Wilcox of Brandon near Coventry, co. Warwick, esq., and Henry Vaughan married Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Thomas Hyde (d. 1666) late of Sarum, co. Wilts.). The greater part of the volume (pp. 17-214) is devoted to 128 coats of arms, some blazoned, which were in ‘Rundletts’ in the original pedigree by Robert Vaughan, but which are here ‘putt att length’, each one being brought down to Rees Vaughan and Henry Vaughan. These are preceded (p. 11) by a copy of a covering letter from Robert Vaughan, Hengwyrt [sic], 25 October 1652, to his ‘Cousen’ Meredith Lloyd concerning the ‘card’ or pedigree of Rice or Rees Vaughan. The present order of the pages preceding this letter, some of which are lettered, others numbered, appears to be slightly different from the original order; these pages together with pp. 222, 224-50 contain coats of arms and pedigrees added by Henry Vaughan (Vaughan of Corsygedol, Vaughan of Macchenlleth [sic] (Rice Vaughan Esqr.), Henry Vaughan himself (with his relationship to other families), and Hyde of Cheshire). The lettering on the spine appears to have been ‘Pedigree of H.V.’. Loose inside the volume is a letter, undated, from George Agar Hansard to a Mrs. Edwardes, said to be the sister of Emily Alicia Davies (nee Palmer). A copy, also repaired and bound, of Rice Vaughan: Practica Walliae; or the proceedings in the Great Sessions of Wales ... (London: Printed for Henry Twyford, John Streater, and Eliz. Flesher, Assignes of Richard Atkins and Edward Atkins Esquires, 1672).
