Llandybie parish[CMN]
#############
Dissenters
In 1789 the Rev Edward James , the parish curate, said to the bishop;

"There are a good many dissenters of the lowest and middle rank [ in the
parish]. There is one meeting house which I think is licensed. The
principle[sic] teacher is a Mr Davies of Llansamlet in Glamorganshire."

He said something similar in 1804, about the nonconformist chapels;

"There is but one. It is a Presbyterian chapel. There are dissenters from
the established church, they are mostly Presbyterians.."

The above Mr Davies was the Rev John Davies, son of Owen and Susannah Davies
, he was born in Gwernllwynchwith, Llansamlet in 1740.He died in 1821 and
was buried in Llansamlet.
