Poet Thomas Williams

Poems of Thomas Williams, Gorsedd Grucyn.

Yr ydym mewn dyled i'r ddiweddar Philip Williams, Melin y Coed, am gadw pedwar o benillion Thomas Williams, Gorsedd Grucyn, ac am ei roi i Ken Davies.

Mr Thomas Williams of Gorsedd Grucyn wrote a great deal of verse in his life. We are greatly privileged to be able to share some of his work with you here thanks to his descendant, Mr Ken Davies, who has transcribed them for us. He received them from another descendant, the late Philip Williams of Melin Y Coed, who was a very keen family historian with an enormous interest in the Melin Y Coed area.

The first poem was written upon the death of his sister, Mrs Jane Edwards, and the second is about Mr Robert Parry, Ty Newydd, Yr Oerfa. The third is about Lance Corporal Moses Llewelyn Jones, and the fourth about Evan Bleddyn Lloyd Williams, who died before his fourth birthday.
