YALE OF PLAS GORONWY, NEAR WREXHAM.

David Yale of Plas Goronwy, Esq., who died 14th January 1690, aged 76, and was buried at Wrexham, appears by a monument in Wrexham Church, and by the parochial registers, to have been father, by Ursula, " the widowe of Plas Gronwy", buried at Wrexham in 1698, aged 74, of — 1, David Yale, Esq., who died 26th January 1690, aged 45; and 2, Thomas Yale, Gent., who died 12th October 1697, aged 37. This branch of the Yale family was seated at Plas Goronwy by Elihu Yale, whose father, Thomas Yale, Esq., a " pilgrim father", one of the first settlers of Newhaven, in Connecticut, America, where he proceeded in 1638, is stated to have been descended from an ancient family which possessed Plas Goronwy (History of Yale College, Newhaven, small 4to., 1766).

[NOTE: Elihu Yale was the son of David Yale who died in 1690 (above), not Thomas Yale who settled and stayed in New Haven, Connecticut.]
