  • Diary entry for 31 May to 4 June 1734. On 31 May, Richard Williams Carrog came to visit. William notes that he was 'very drunk' and 'was so troublesome that cousin Henry Hughes & I were forced to leave him by himself to get rid of him'. On 4 June, a quoiting match was held at Llanfechell. William went to the cock-fight at Llandyfrydog, where eight silver spoons were offered as prizes.
