The seal is a small button of red wax. The device, a V within a circle rudely executed.

The only name which has been identified in this document is that of Jankin Gevane, otherwise Jenkin Gibbon, of Cefn-Tre-Payne, or Pentrebane, in Llandaff, great-grandson of Sir Gilbert Payne, and grandfather of John Gwyn Gibbon of St. Fagan's Castle, ancestor in the female line to the Lewises of Llanishen.

These Welsh Documents, though the persons named in them have not as yet been identified, are nevertheless of local value. It is only by this means that there is any chance of proving the truth of the Welsh pedigrees, most of which are without dates or places; and, from the absence of surnames, almost incapable of being indexed.

Seals gone.

This charter gives three descents of a Welsh family living at Pendoylon, who have not been otherwise identified. No Hugh appears in the Carne pedigree, so that the name may be a clerical error for Howel. Began is a place near Cefn Mably, reputed to have been acquired by the marriage of the daughter and heiress of Sir Andrew Began with Edward or William Kemeys. The name is of very rare occurrence in the county pedigrees.

Endorsed-"A feoffment of a tenement in Castleton with the advowson of Seynt Tathan's."

The deed is carelessly written, with varieties in the spelling and designation of Sir Roger. None of the parties are known as connected with St. Tathan's, the advowson of which, so far as is known, has always gone with the manor.
