E In Beaumaris Gaol the following information on Anglesey executions
appears as an exhibit:
July 1468 Seven brothers for murder, robbery and arson
May 1654 Margaret, daughter of Richard for witchcraft
S 2 May 1719 Thomas Esay (17) of Beddgelert for horse stealing and other crimes.
Tu 2 May 1720 Sian, daughter of Evan of Llandaniel for robbery
April 1744 Joseph and Robin, tinkers, robbing Llantysilio church
May 1747 An Irishman for attempted murder near Bodedern
Sept 1785 John Jones stole 3 sheep at Llanalgo
May 1786 John Ellise for housebreaking at Pontrypont
W 15 Sept 1830 William Griffiths for attempted murder of his wife
F 4 April 1862 Richard Rowland for murder of Richard Williams
I do not know the source of this information. It appears to bear out five of the six potential hangings between 1735 and 1804 though with discrepancies in the names and crimes.
