MAURICE, MATHIAS (1684 - 1738), Independent minister and writer , Maurice joined Henry Palmer and others in their migration to Rhyd-y-ceisiaid. Early in 1713 he became minister at Olney (Buckinghamshire), but in November 1714 was called to Rothwell (Northants) to succeed Richard Davis - a natural choice, when we remember the High Calvinism and the championship of absolute congregational self-government which he had already shown at Henllan. In 1726 he wrote a short
MAURICE, Sir WILLIAM (1542 - 1622), politician achieved in partnership with the other British peoples; the bard Richard Owen aptly describes him (Brogyntyn MS. 3/376) as ' penn plaid brytaniaid.'

MEREDITH, RICHARD (bu farw 1597), bishop of Leighlin, Ireland Born in Denbighshire, son, it is said, of one Robert Meredith ap Gronw and Margaret, daughter of William John ap Gronw. It is possible that he was of the same stock as the Merediths of Stansty. He was probably the Richard Meredith who graduated B.A. at Jesus College, 4 March 1572/3, but it is quite certain that he became M.A. of the same college in 1575. He became chaplain to Sir John Perrot
