Horeb (Old) Chapel, Heol Horeb, Five Roads, Lllanelly, MI's

Hi
 
As some of these may be of interest to others, below are the MI's I transcribed the other weekend at Horeb (Old) Chapel, Five Roads, Llanelly. There may some typo's/transcription errors in them. The first 3 definitely relate to my family line, the next 4 were around these graves so there may be some link to my line. The remainder were near the front of the graveyard. If anyone can provide translations (at  least for the first 3) I would be very grateful. If anyone else is planning to visit I would be very interested in details that relate to any Edmunds, but if you do go, then wear robust clothing, sturdy shoes, garden gloves and take some secateurs as there are a lot of brambles and ivy!

(*tricky to translate! It's an englyn by 18th Century Welsh poet Edward Richard
about the death of a child:
    'Trallodau, beiau bywyd - ni welais,
    Nac wylwch o'm plegyd;
    Iach wyf o bob afiechyd,
    Ac yn fy medd, gwyn fy myd.' )
