HARRISON, RICHARD (1743 - 1830), Wesleyan Methodist local preacher was one of the first to expound Wesley's Arminianism in North Wales, and his counsel and assistance were invaluable to Evan Roberts, Denbigh, Edward Jones, Bathafarn, (1778 - 1837), Owen Davies (1752 - 1830), and John Hughes (1776 - 1843).
HEMANS, FELICIA DOROTHEA (1793 - 1835), poet years later she went to live in Watertree near Liverpool. In 1831 she moved to Dublin; from then on she wrote mainly religious poetry. Her health had never been good and she died in Dublin 16 May, 1835. She was of a loving and gentle disposition and her poetry was tender and flowed gracefully and evenly, but it lacked strength and permanent value. Her collected works were edited by Mrs. Hughes in 1839
teulu HERBERT known as 'the Welsh lord' and twitted with the need for an interpreter (Cecil. xvi 439), and despite his Welsh chaplains, tutors and servants - including George Herbert, Griffith Williams (later bishop of Ossory), and Evan Lloyd Jeffrey of Palé (herald, bard, and genealogist) - his direct contacts with Wales were much slighter than those of his predecessors. The Civil War revealed that the Pembroke
HERBERT, Sir WILLIAM (bu farw 1593), Irish planter and Welsh educational pioneer was the son of William Herbert of S. Julians, Monmouth, and great-grandson in the male line of Sir William Herbert (died 1469) 1st earl of Pembroke. His mother was Jane, daughter of Edward Griffith of Penrhyn, Caernarfonshire, from whom he inherited lands in Anglesey and Caernarvonshire to add to his Monmouthshire estates. Although apparently not a university man, he was a great student
teulu HOLLAND Berw, gone to his uncle, his mother's brother Owen (N.L.W. Carreg-lwyd Deeds, i, 2041, 2160, 2338). His name appears as a party to a lease of Berw Mills 18 December 1528, but he died before 15 April 1529 (Carreglwyd Deeds, i, 2023, 2211). Little is known of EDWARD, the son who succeeded. He married Elin, daughter of Rowland Griffith of Plas Newydd, Anglesey, and died before 1561. Their son, OWEN, the next
teulu HOLLAND . PETER HOLLAND, a servant of Henry IV, came to Conway, and his family became owners of Conway castle, of much of the town, and of lands outside it (see W. B. Lowe, The Heart of Northern Wales, i, 342-5; J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 341; Archæologia Cambrensis, 1866, facing 183). With the sons of HUGH GWYN HOLLAND, who had married Jane Conway of Bryneuryn and had died in 1585, this branch forks: (a) the
HOLLAND, ROBERT (1556/7 - 1622?), cleric, author, and translator Weston Colville; he was also schoolmaster at Dullingham, near Newmarket. His preferments in Wales are not easy to date with confidence (parish records are lacking), but both Stephen Hughes (in 1677) and Moses Williams make him parson of Llanddowror - this, presumably, would be before 1595. Again, though the list of Pembrokeshire parsons in West Wales Records contains not a single reference to Holland
HOPKINS, BENJAMIN THOMAS (1897 - 1981), farmer and poet remarried and had another son, Evan Pugh Hopkins, half-brother to Ben. He was educated at Tan-y-garreg Elementary School, where he learnt cynghanedd and began to compose verses under the guidance of the head-teacher, David Davies, and a local poet, John Rowlands, Dolebolion. Together with his fellow pupil, the writer Tom Hughes Jones, he began to compete in local eisteddfodau. He left school at the age of
HOWELLS, GERAINT WYN (Baron Geraint), (1925 - 2004), farmer and politician sheep farming. He suffered from heart trouble before the 1992 general election and he underwent, in later years, a major heart operation. He married Mary Olwen Hughes Griffiths in 1957; they had two daughters, Gaenor and Mari. Lord Geraint lived at Glennydd, Ponterwyd; he died on 17 April 2004 and his funeral was held on 24 April at Ponterwyd Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, where he served as deacon; a

HUGHES GRIFFITHS, ANNIE JANE (1873 - 1942), peace campaigner from Wales who had come to work in the capital. In 1916 the Reverend Peter Hughes Griffiths, minister of Charing Cross, became her second husband. She was active with the League of Nations (the predecessor of the United Nations) and by 1923, she was President of the Welsh National Council of the League of Nations Union.
