dest brother Charles remained at Dolobran Hall in Wales, but both his sons, Charles Exton and
died unmarried. James sold Dolobran in 1780, the estate thus after many generations passing from
mily. It was, however, bought back in 1878 by Sampson Samuel Lloyd.
son Lloyd I married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth Good bore him four daughters; his second wife,
Crowley, four sons and two daughters. It was at the age of thirty-four, and in the same year that his
died (1698), that Sampson Lloyd migrated to Birmingham. He was attracted to Birmingham
se his brother-in-law, John Pemberton lived there; but he also chose it to escape the harassing and
ss legal penalties of the Conventicle Act. Moreover, Birmingham was always friendly to dissent.

as Lloyd.
econd Sampson Lloyd, who was born on 15 May 1699, joined his father9s business. He married his
ife, Sarah, daughter of Richard Parkes of Oakswell Hall, Staffordshire, and by her he had one son,
rd Sampson Lloyd. He married secondly, in 1731, Rachel, daughter of Nehemiah Champion of
l, and by her, whom he survived twenty-three years, he had six sons and five daughters, fruitfulness
g been a characteristic with some consistency ever since the family began.
son Lloyd II lived at Old Park House in Park Street, moving to 18 Park Street on his second
age in 1732. In 1742 he purchased the property called "The Farm", consisting of fifty-six acres with
mhouse and outbuildings. Since then a large part of the estate has been built over, some of the
