By the early 1880's all of the original settlers had either returned to Wales or settled further north. These papers were collected by William Jones, nephew of Samuel Roberts. He and Richard Roberts were the trustees of Samuel Roberts' will and, therefore, were entrusted with the responsibility of seeing the land claims through to resolution. Included are copies of documents dealing with original land purchase from E.D. Saxton, maps showing the locations of the purchased tracts, testimonies of William and Richard Edward Jones and brief accounts of the history of the Welsh Colony written by William Jones. Records transfers of disputed tracts of land from 1836 to 1880's.
Tract numbers correspond to maps in maps folder.
