David Jones b. 4th August 1852 at Brynhynod, Llangower (the place where we saw the porch full of young cats, over Bala Lake), was the son of John & Elinor Jones (I have a note which says son of David and Elinor Jones, but I think John is correct).

David Jones of High Street, Denbigh, and Grace Williams of Rhydonen were married on 26th October 1883 in the CM Chapel, Swan Lane, Denbigh. At first they lived in Rhydonen, and later at Rhospengwern. Grace died in 1911 or 12. David Jones remarried, probably in 1915 or 1916, and moved to Fron Lwyd, Glyndyfrdwy. I also have a note that "David Jones lived at Clawdd Newydd with 2nd wife in his old age". Did he move yet again?

David and Grace Jones had six children:

• Margaret (Auntie Maggie) - stayed at home and became a farmer's wife, but always knew that she could do whatever her sisters could. Used to do her grandchildren's homework for them.
