Yale family
In the northeast is Plas yn lâl, the ancestral home of the Yale family, to which Elihu Yale also belongs. He was in on April 5, 1649 Boston ( Massachusetts born). When he was just three years old, his family moved back to England. Elihu later worked for the "East India Company" and was president and governor of the St. George settlement in Madras . Contrary to Company policy, Elihu amassed a fortune through slave trading and secret contracts with Madras traders. When this was revealed, Elihu was forced to resign in 1692 and lived the rest of his life in the Plas Grono mansion , Wrexham .
In 1718 it asked the Puritan minister of New England , Cotton Mather to provide financial support for the educational institution , the Mather in New Haven under the name Collegiate School of Connecticut business. They urgently needed money for a new building. Records show that Elihu Mather sent 417 books, a portrait of King George I, and nine bales of goods. The bales were then valued at around £ 800, which was very valuable at the time. The new building was named "Yale" out of gratitude, and the entire campus was later renamed Yale University .
