Custodial History

A long note by Edward Protheroe, Jun., Apr. 28, 1842 (at p. vii of MS. Add. C. 177, cf. MS. Add. C. 179, p. v, explains in detail that these volumes (and MS. Top. Monmouthshire c. 1?) formed part of a large collection of David Edwardes's pedigrees, which seems to have passed to another David Edwardes (Sheriff of Carmarthenshire in 1720), who lent at least MS. Add. C. 177 (see p. 27 of it) to John Lloyd of Alltyrodin on March 9, 1726. From this Mr. Lloyd's son Mr. Protheroe bought a large number of Edwardes MSS. now in the Herald's College, of the same kind as the present volumes.
