JONES, WILLIAM (1718 - 1773?), early Methodist exhorter, and possibly the first Anglesey Methodist hear no more of him; and it is far from certain that he was the William Jones whose burial on 25 July 1773 is recorded in Llangefni parish register. As the writer of the above article has now pointed out, in his recent book Methodistiaeth Fore Môn (Caernarvon, 1955), p. 94, William Jones of Trefollwyn cannot have been the man who died in 1773. Henllys MS. 138 at Bangor is a copy of the will (signed
JONES, Sir WILLIAM (1566 - 1640), judge he was knighted, made a serjeant at law, and sent to Ireland as lord chief justice of King's Bench. Returning in 1620, he declined nomination as Member of Parliament for Caernarvonshire (where he was now regarded as 'prime man'), supporting the unsuccessful candidature of Sir John Wynn against John Griffith. In 1621 he was nominated by bishop John Williams (1582 - 1650) as a judge of Common Pleas
JONES, WILLIAM (1806 - 1873), cleric and man of letters had just died, and at the end of 1832 was called to the pastorate by a majority of its members. But the minority, alleging among other things that Jones upheld 'open communion,' revolted, and were expelled - in the upshot, the Association disowned the church and excommunicated the pastor (1833). Jones now became an Anglican, and spent eighteen months at S. David's College, Lampeter; he was ordained
JUSTINIAN SAINT (fl. 6th century) The only surviving authority for the legend of S. Justinian is a 'Life' summarised in the mid-14th cent, by John of Teignmouth from an original which is now lost. A native of Brittany, S. Justinian left his homeland at the bidding of an angel, and eventually landed on the island of Limeneia, now Ramsey Island, off the coast of Pembrokeshire, near S. Davids. There he remained together with the
KATHERYN of BERAIN (Mam Cymru, The mother of Wales; 1534/5 - 1591) between her daughter Jane Wynn and his son Simon (born 1570). In 1585/6 a daughter was born to Thomas and Margaret Salusbury, and in September 1586 Thomas, who was implicated in the Babington conspiracy, was executed for alleged treason, and a commission was sent to inquire into his estate. In December of the same year, Katheryn's other son John (now Sir John Salusbury of Llewenni) married Ursula, a
KELSALL, JOHN (fl. 1683-1743), Quaker diarist intervals between 1729 and 1736. Later on, he fell into adversity, and after wandering to Bristol and to Ireland, is last heard of at Chester. He appears in the present work in virtue of his very detailed diaries, now kept (together with a volume of verse written by him between 1702 and 1743) at the Friends' House in London. They are wanting for the years 1699-1712 (yet there is an index to these missing

The first connection with Cefn Mabli came when DAVID KEMEYS, son of Ievan Kemeys of Began, married Cecil, daughter of Llewelyn ab Evan ap Llewelyn ap Cynfig of Cefn Mabli c. 1450. They were succeeded by their son LEWIS. The next heirs were JOHN KEMEYS
KEYNE (fl. late 5th century - early 6th century), saint appellation 'Cein-wyry' ('Keyne the virgin'), [often shortened to 'Ceinwr ' and 'Gaynor' - or again 'Ceinwen' i.e. 'Cain the holy'], departed from her native region and settled at a place, now Keynsham, in Somerset, where she lived a hermit's life. After many years, she returned to South Wales and established a monastery at a place not identified with certainty, but perhaps Llangeinor in Glamorgan. The

KOTSCHNIG, ELINED PRYS (1895 - 1983), psychoanalyst and pacifist anthropological, mythological and psychological point of view, presenting it as a metaphor for the complete psychological state of the Self. This material was presented in an address to the Friends Conference on Religion and Psychology on 1 June 1968.

KROCH, HEINZ JUSTUS (1920 - 2011), engineer and businessman a major contractor to the instrumentation and control gear, and defence industries. At its height, the company employed 5,500 people in Wales and across the rest of Europe but defence cuts in the 1980s and 1990s saw the stock market quoted company's fortunes falter. By now renamed AB Electronic Components to better reflect its product speciality, it was merged in 1993 into Surrey-based TT
LAUGHARNE, ROWLAND (bu farw 1676?), Parliamentary major-general Poyer, and at this juncture Rowland Laugharne and Rice Powell seem to have joined him. Laugharne was no doubt influenced by the fact that the earl of Essex was now commander-in-chief of the Parliamentary forces. Essex, it should also be added, was a local landowner with an estate at Lamphey, near Pembroke. With the assistance of Parliamentary ships which were driven into Milford Haven by stress of
