Vaughan, Antiquary - He was a diligent collector of Welsh manuscripts and to his own collection at Hengwrt was added before his death that of John Jones of Gelli Lyfdy, near Caerwys, in virtue of an arrangement between the two that the survivor should become possessed of the manuscripts of the both. This joint collection, numbering many hundreds of manuscripts, has been preserved intact to the present day, passing in 1859, on the death of the last of the Vaughans to the Wynnes of Peniarth, near Towyn, where it is now kept.
