| 8 | Old Wales, vol. iii, p 256, she is referred to as Kitty Glansarn, hut this may be a mistake for Clynsaer. Gruffydd Evans, Trans. Hon. Soc. Cym. 1911-12, p 116, says she was Catherine Thomas of Clynsaer, Llwydlo near Glanbran and states that her marriage was celebrated in a song containing the words: Daw draenen wen o Lwydlo I Glanbran i flodeuo. |

| 23 | A number of printed sources say that Roderick Gwynne died on 29th July, 1774, but the memorial in Tirabad Church, examined on 2nd November, 1972, states that he died on 29th June, 1777. A local man with no knowledge of this gives an assurance that the date on the commemorative stone at Glanbran was 1777. As the stone may have been erected during the earlier stages of construction, it is possible that the house was not completed until after Roderick's death. |
