William Price's Family and My Family Line



Tynllwyn with Mynydd Myddfai (aka Mynydd Bach) in background.

Before diving into more detail about William Price Tynllwyn it would be helpful to describe his immediate family and then also to outline my family line from Wiliam Price in order to make subsequent family posts easier to follow.
William was married twice but all of his children were born during his marriage to his first wife, Margaret who died in 1777. Two years later in 1799 William married Magdalene Rees (aka Maud or Maudlin) who survived him by some 5 years.
William and Margaret's children were:

• Rev. John Price B.A. baptised 1749 - curate then vicar of Myddfai.
• Jane Price baptised 1750 married to Rees John of Llanddeusant.
• Morgan Price Nantygweision and Trawsllwynddu baptised 1753 farmer and freeholder.
• David Price Glasallt Fawr baptised 1755 farmer and freeholder.
• William Price of Myddfai baptised 1758 predeceased his father in 1797.
• Elizabeth Price baptised 1759 married to Evan Morgan of Myddfai

More details for each of the above and their children will be given in future posts devoted to each of William's children and their descendants.
