DAVIES, RANDOLPH (bu farw 1695), cleric and controversialist opinions he is said to have interceded with bishop William Lloyd (1627 - 1717) of St Asaph on behalf of a body of Independents living in his own parish: his great desire seems to have been to live at peace with all men, especially with his own ecclesiastical superiors and his neighbours. He was buried 24 February 1695.
DAVIES, REES (1694? - 1767), Independent minister . His letter to Howel Harris shows kindly feeling towards Harris and towards Griffith Jones of Llanddowror; but the frequent (and acid) references to him in the diaries of Philip David of Penmain show clearly that he was no 'enthusiast,' indeed was an exceedingly 'dry' man, and on indifferent terms with his fellow-ministers. In Philip David's words, 'he preached his chapel empty' but he endowed it
DAVIES, RHYS JOHN (1877 - 1954), politician and trade union official married Margaret Ann Griffiths, a domestic science teacher in Ton Pentre. They had three sons.

DAVIES, RICHARD (1818 - 1896), M.P. rather as a symbolic figure than on personal grounds. As he (and his family) exemplified the new free-trade economic order, so also in politics he, like his colleague David Williams (1799 - 1869 in Merioneth, became an almost legendary symbol of the new Liberal Nonconformist middle class, whose ascendancy in Wales was to last into the 20th century. He married, 1855, Anne, daughter of Henry Rees, and
DAVIES, ROBERT (Asaph Llechid; 1834 - 1858), musician Born 29 June 1834 at Carneddi near Bethesda, Caernarfonshire, son of David Roberts. He delighted in music while still a child and made up his mind to master the art. Robert Moses, the instructor of the Carneddi Choral Society, gave him his first lessons, and Eos Llechid (O. H. Davies) taught him harmony and composition, in which he made such good progress that by the time he was 16 he had already
DAVIES, ROBERT (Bardd Nantglyn; 1769 - 1835), poet and grammarian warmly supported by him. It was he who won the prize at Caerwys in 1798 for an awdl on 'Cariad i'n Gwlad,' and in the provincial eisteddfod of Dyfed held at Carmarthen in 1819 he was co-adjudicator with Iolo Morganwg. His successes included the prize at Wrexham in 1820 for an awdl on the death of George III, and several prizes at Beaumaris in 1832. But his eisteddfod activities brought him also a good
DAVIES, ROBERT (1790 - 1841), Calvinistic Methodist elder The youngest son of David Davies, skinner, and Jonett, daughter of Robert Jones, Aberllefenni, Meironnydd, Robert Davies was born at Machynlleth and migrated to Aberystwyth.

DAVIES, ROBERT HUMPHREY (Gomerian; 1856 - 1947), correspondent of Welsh and English newspapers ; for fourteen years he was secretary of the St. David's Day Society and he was twice elected its president. He arranged several eisteddfodau and visited Wales to invite David Lloyd-George to attend the international eisteddfod to be held in the U.S.A.

DAVIES, (FLORENCE) ROSE (1882 - 1958), Labour activist and local alderman movements throughout Wales. She played a major role in the preparation of the impressive peace memorial from the women of Wales to the women of the United States. Davies was a warm admirer of the work of George M. Ll. Davies.

DAVIES, STEPHEN (bu farw 1794), revived the defunct 17th century Baptist church at Carmarthen . But in 1792 Davies was dismissed by his church. Some (J.T. J., i, 112) attribute this to his failure in business; David Jones (Bed. Deheubarth, 444) to a dispute concerning moneys collected for building the chapel. It is perhaps easier to believe (David Jones, op. cit., 443) that personal clashes were the cause: Stephen Davies's former pastor Daniel Davies (1756 - 1837) testifies that he was a good
