Where is CILFOWIN, Pembrokeshire?

Yes. I have the info from Welsh Biographies. I always thought it would be great to "fill in the blanks" with names and dates. Our family has a hand written tree that was initially constructed by Robert Mosely Bryce Thomas, a descendent of Timothy Thomas II I believe.
I shall add all the details you have provided when I am back at my PC next Wednesday. I am very grateful for the time you are spending on this, Osprey. Thanks very much.

Just one point. I see that a Timothy Thomas and a Thomas Thomas were baptized at Aberduar in 1775, but it does not actually say by whom and Rev Timothy Thomas I died in 1768, so it was not him.

sorry, my mistake. All the other baptisms seem to have been conducted by Timothy Thomas, the ones in 1775 don't say who was doing the baptising.

There's a possible will for the father of 3 ministers on the NLW site if he died in 1760. Indexed as Thomas Morgan of Esger Ifri in Caeo, mentions wife Jane, oldest son Joshua, son Timothy, son Zacharias and twin grand daughters Mary & Anne Evans, daughters of Morgan Evans of Llanddewi Abergwesyn in Breconshire.

Very interesting. Do you mean the National Library of Wales site? The newspapers or Elsewhere? I have to dash, but I shall take a good look later. Thanks so much.

wills proved in the Welsh dioceses are available to read online via this search from the NLW

The inventory is also on one of the images.

I am impressed that you managed to read the will with apparent ease. I shall order the digital copy and zoom in to help me decipher it clearly.

I wonder why he is Thomas Morgan and not Thomas Morgan Thomas?

I have added the information you uncovered to my Ancestry.com tree.
Thanks again for your help.

you change the size of the text on the images. The writing isn't too bad. I transcribe parish records for one of the county opc schemes so my eyes are probably used to it. Post again if you're having problems with it. I love that he leaves his grandson Thomas, son of Timothy, a lamb & a ewe & a yearling sheep.

As for him being Thomas Morgan, I wonder if this is finding the family just as they stop using patronymic surnames and start using the same surname for father & son.
