Merioneth

The Vaughans of Corsygedol, who possessed the leading interest in Merioneth, represented the county as Tories without opposition from 1701. Although Watkin Williams Wynn of Wynnstay had inherited the important Rhiwgoch estate in 1719, he made no attempt to interfere in the affairs of Merioneth.P. D. G. Thomas, ‘Parl. Rep.
