I think the answer lies on this site.
From the Main Menu go to The Villages/Coedpoeth/Local Timeline and check the years 1620 and then 1859.

Thank you www.coedpoeth.minerahistory.com/timeline.html1620 - Eighty acres of land at Minera was owned by a Chester butcher named Owen Jones, who in his will, left the rents and profits from this land to the 'poor of Chester'. 1859 - It became necessary to define the extent of the 'City Lands' at Minera. Marker stones were erected along the boundary bearing the inscription 'Owen Jones 1859' . These stones are still visible today.
