Subseries G. Bancroft family residences: These papers document the “Garthgynan,” “Cufeld,” the Poole House, and the Bancroft Mansion. Garthgynan was a family home in Ruthin, northwest Wales, the residence of John Bancroft for three years following the family’s original home in Manchester, England. It has been described as having pleasant gardens and seems to be in an isolated part of the Wales countryside. Cufeld, sometimes spelled Cufield, was the home of John Bancroft in Wilmington, Delaware. The records include a family picture at Cufeld on a Bancroft family wedding day. The records include a two-page description of the childhood home of Sarah Poole, the mother of William Bancroft. The Bancroft Mansion was built by Joseph Bancroft, William’s father, and was later occupied by William and his family. Its history is well documented, and the building is described in detail.
