Jane Homfray

Jane HOMFRAY nee GOULD previously BALL, daughter of Charles GOULD and Jane MORGAN was born 24 Feb 1759 Westminster, London and Baptised at St James, Piccadilly on 9 Mar 1759. She married Henry BALL 18 Dec 1782 at St Margaret, Westminster.

Capt Henry Ball died 6 July 1792 in Hampstead (Times 9 Aug 1792) and is buried at Lambourne, Essex. His mother Ruth married Admiral Edward HUGHES (his second wife) she died 1800. Jane's will left the majority of her not insignificant estate to her Grandson (by her other son David 1760-1798) Edward Hughes BALL (1798-1863). He became known as Edward Hughes Ball HUGHES (The Golden Ball - see Google).

• (information provided by Cefyn Grafton, 2015) Note that Jane's father, Charles, took the Morgan surname - presumably before Jane was born. Hence the use of Morgan rather than Gould has her birth surname.
• THE TWO FIRST REFERENCES BELOW SEEM TO HAVE HER AS DAUGHTER OF DIFFERENT PARENTS EITHER CHARLES & JANE (MORGAN) OR THEIR SON CHARLES & MARY (STONEY) -- However, given her age of 87 at death (reported below), that would place her as daughter of Charles & Jane (Morgan).

• Samuel Homfray (1762 – 22 May 1822) was an English industrialist during the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, associated with the early iron industry in South Wales.
• Samuel was the son of a successful ironmaster, Francis Homfray, and the brother of Jeremiah Homfray and Thomas. His elder brothers were John, Jeston, Francis, Jeremiah and Thomas.
• With his two brothers, Jeremiah and Thomas, he took over the lease of Anthony Bacon's cannon foundry at Cyfarthfa, before they began the Penydarren Ironworks during the 1780s. In 1784, after a court case[1] they transferred the lease of the foundry from Anthony Bacon (with whom they had quarrelled), who reassigned it to David Tanner, and moved to where they had set up the works on the banks of the River Morlais, building Penydarren House on the far side river bank. After years of fierce competition with the Dowlais and Cyfarthfa ironworks, they began to prosper. Samuel took over as proprietor of the Penydarren works, while Jeremiah moved to Ebbw Vale.
• Samuel was one of the chief promoters of the Glamorgan canal, which opened in 1795 and cost £103,000, of which he subscribed £40,000 and which enabled the transporting of heavy manufactured iron to Cardiff docks. In 1804 Samuel won a 1000 guineas wager with Richard Crawshay as to which of them could first build a steam locomotive for use in their works. Homfray employed Richard Trevithick for this purpose and his locomotive won the bet, hauling five wagons, carrying ten tons of iron and seventy men, at a speed of five miles an hour.
• In 1800, Samuel married Jane Morgan, daughter of Sir Charles Gould Morgan, 1st Baronet, Baron Tredegar, of Tredegar House, and thus obtained a favorable lease of mineral land at Tredegar, where he established the Tredegar Ironworks. In 1813 he was appointed High Sheriff of Monmouthshire and in 1818, returned as Member of Parliament for Stafford borough.[2]

• Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles Gould Morgan, 2nd Baronet (4 February 1760 – 5 December 1846), was a Welsh soldier and politician, the MP for Brecon (1787–1796) and later the County of Monmouth (1796–1831).
• Born to Sir Charles Morgan, 1st Baronet (originally Charles Gould) and Jane Morgan, he became a Captain in the Coldstream Guards. On retirement from the British Army to enable him to concentrate of the family estate, he became an MP for Brecon, and later the County of Monmouth.
• He married Mary Margaret Stoney in 1791, with whom he had eight children. He never remarried after her death in 1808.[1] In 1800, industrialist Samuel Homfray married his daughter Jane Morgan, and thus obtained a favorable lease of mineral land at Tredegar, where he established the Tredegar Ironworks.[2] Morgan was succeeded by his son, Charles Morgan, 1st Baron Tredegar.
