John PUGH & Esther Frowen - Brockweir (General)

Hi - I am descended from the above through one of their sons - John Wesley FROWEN (aka PUGH!)and am trying to reach a little further back. I have John's will where he leaves everything to Esther (Hester) Frowen as long as she remains unmarried - else to the children. I cannot find out what happened to Esther after John PUGH died in 1825. Probate was granted in 1828 so she was alive then. Can anyone help here please?

I know that John's parents were William PUGH and Mary nee Taylor as they are buried in the same grave as is also Ann FROWEN (child.) I am thinking that this William PUGH was the William bap. 21/8/1730 at Chapel Hill (Mon) son of Roland and Mary PUGH who later came to Hewelsfield/Brockweir and had a Mary (bap 8/1/1734 Hewelsfield), John (bap 20/1/1742 Hewelsfield) and an Elizabeth (bap ?) but buried 27/7/1760 at Chapel Hill.

I'm hoping that someone knows of this family as it is confusing (to me!) as the IGI gives a Joannes PUGH son of Rolandi at Chapel Hill - I read that as John - but this baptism was 5/3/1731 (not sure if this is old or new style date as it is a bit soon if this is a brother to William if old style)

I have a John PUGH who married Sarah Daniel living in Chapel Hill but I don't know which John this is.

I would appreciate any light on this

Thanks

Alan (Frowen) PUGH
