GOODWIN, JOHN (1681 - 1763) North Wales, Quaker minister Friends did not wish him to leave them because, since the death of Richard Davies (1635 - 1708) of Cloddiau Cochion, they looked upon him as Davies's successor as their leader; permission to emigrate was, therefore, refused. It is possible that he moved sometime before he died to Merioneth to look after the Quaker flock at Llwyn-du and Tyddyn-y-garreg [see Lewis of Tyddyn-y-garreg ]. At any rate it is

GRIFFITH, SIDNEY (bu farw 1752), Methodist and associate of Howel Harris esteem of Mrs. Griffith's character. As for Harris, he regarded her as 'the eye of Christ's Body' (it may be remarked that before this he had cast others, men and women, in this role), implicitly obeyed her advice, and took her around with him everywhere as a sort of ark of the covenant. Morgan John Lewis, who had himself at one period been an 'eye,' expostulated in vain with Harris (May 1750); ' Madam

Their enmity probably formed part of the greater feud between John Griffith of Cefn

GRIFFITHS, EVAN (Ieuan Ebblig; 1795 - 1873), Independent minister school at Newport, Monmouth, kept by Jenkin Lewis.

GRIFFITHS, JOHN (1820 - 1897), cleric and educationalist with Sir Hugh Owen and others in their efforts to reform the national eisteddfod.

GRIFFITHS, VAVASOR (bu farw 1741), Independent minister and tutor - the farm itself, of course, also contributed to Griffiths's subsistence. In February 1733 or 1734 the Presbyterian board invited Griffiths to succeed Thomas Perrott at Carmarthen Academy, but he declined on the score of ill-health.
