Hello Kayzee
I have been researching the Williams ancestry as well as the Pughs because of an exceptionally close DNA link with a Benjamin Williams on Family Search DNA. His name is John Williams and he e livedin the US but his ancestor David Williams left Brecon in 1832 to emigrate to Radnor Ohio, like so many did from the Brecon area. I have researeched Radnor Ohio a lot!
The Gwilym family donated a silver chalice to the Rev. David John Gwilym of St Michaels Church in Llanfihangel Nant Bran in 1615. The chalice has some intriguing inscriptions on it that I would like to know more about. It is probably still in the possession of the Vicar there.
Are you located near there? If so could you contact the Vicar for me, and ask if he still has that chailce?
Thanks
David Pugh
