Hello Osprey
Not used the nat library website before. Do I need to apply to read the will or can it be found elsewhere on the net?
Yes you have the right family group. david Wynne b 1756 was married to an Ann Williams before Elizabeth
david Wynne b 1785 married Joannah Hughes who is apparently the sister of nathan Hughes.
Have looked on ancestry in the past and found some details of Jeremiah's will. Margaret wife of Edward Jones is the daughter of David and Joannah.
think the family are Calvanist Methodists as there is some talk of Nathan Hughes involved with Howell Harris. Also David Wynne built the chapel at manmoel although the sign outside the chapel I believe to be slightly wrong. Pictures of the sign are posted on ancestry and many of my family are buried at this chapel including my mother Sarah Ann Wynn Morgan.
The marriage certificate for David Wynne and Elizabeth Rees shows Watkin Wynn as the father of david and Daniel Rees as father of Elizabeth....both are farmers.
I am presuming that Watkin lived in cardiganshire as David was born there.
Edward,,,husband of Margaret is also from Cardiganshire..eglwys fach
Edward and margaret's child Sarah Ann Jones married Thomas Morgan. He owned the bush in in Ebbw Vale but it appears he was also from Cardiganshire. Sarah Ann was born in Philadelphia but the family were only there a few years.
So many pieces to all put together.. I will now look at all the references you sent me.
Thank you very much.....Wish I had asked my family a lot more earlier
