Text From Source: "John My oldest son as born the 20th day of January 1782 [?] at ten a clock in the morning Crisnd 27th" Presumably written by John Lewis b. ? June 1750 This information is from a large Welsh Family Bible printed in London by Bonham Norton and John Bill. Printed by the printer who printed for the King. Anno Domini 1620. There is no evidence to suggest who originally owned the Bible. The earliest reference inscribed within is to "My father John Lewis [of Pantycrasdy] born August 1726" Pantycrasdy is a farm near Llanwnog in Mongomeryshire, now Powis. It still exists, although the farmhouse is modern - i.e. not the building John Lewis would have known. The farm presently lies on a minor road that runs parallel to and north of the A470 between Carno and Clatter. The Bible appears to have remained with the Lewises and went from Morgan Lewis into the posession of his daughter Jane who married William Roberts of Newtown. It went from Jane to her son Robert Morgan Roberts and then to his son Archibald Lewis Roberts. Archie gave it to his niece Gwyneth, who gave it to her son Graham Hoadly. Graham is the present owner - 29th July 2003. |
