Just read this and realise you've probably got all the info you need, but thought I'd add this.
The same family still live in Caerbigyn, this family was also linked with Tycanol Farm and Cencoed Uchaf ( both in Five Roads but come in to the Hengoed boundary of electors). families were buried in Horeb Baptist Chapel but it is now closed and the graveyard overgrown & also in the new cemetery in the village.
The Edmunds & Walters family farmed on Mynydd Sylen once at Ystodwen & others in the hamlet of Horeb.
Allegedly an ancestor of these families was Lucy Walters a one time mistress of Charles 2... did have a book written in Welsh about her.
Also family linked with Croesnant farm.
The village of Five Roads was predominantly Edmunds, Thomas, Williams and Walters until the 1930's.
Hope some of these farm names help.
