DAVID, JOHN (1701? - 1756), Independent minister Cwmllynfell. He is pretty certainly the John David who joined Henry Palmer and Rees Davies, in a letter (Trevecka letter 231) to Howel Harris, 22 March 1740. He died 22 July 1756, and was buried at Manordivy. There is an elegy (printed in the work mentioned below) upon him by Morris Griffiths. A record in the Moravian archives at Haverfordwest speaks in very high terms of John David.

Rees David, however, was not a minister but a
