MANORABON
A portion of the Llandilo Fawr Parish, situate on the right bank of the River Amanw. Manor = manor; Mabon = boy or male child. Mabon the swift son of Modron was a god of the pagan Celts. His grave is in the Upland of Nantlle. The Lady of the Van Lake's name was Modron daughter of Avallach. This brings us nearer the Aman Valley for opposite Cathilas is Tir Afallach. Manorabon is on the Track of the Twrch Trwyth Hunt in which Mabon fab Modren figured so conspicuously.

    "(Mabon") was a great hunter who had a wonderful hound and rode on a steed swift as a wave of the sea: when he was three nights old he was stolen from between his mother and the wall no one knew whither; numberless ages later, it was ascertained by Arthur that he was in a stone prison at Gloucester uttering heart-rending groans. . . . Arthur and his men succeeded in releasing him to engage in the mythic hunt of Twrch Trwyth that could not take place without him; and lastly he distinguished himself by riding into the waters of the Bristol Channel after Twrch Trwyth and despoiling him of one of his trinkets."


You could try Carmarthen archives for information on the family pre-1841
