Hi Mike
Also worth you checking out "The History of the Baptists in Radnorshire" by
John Jones (1895)
& "A Brief History of the beginning & growth of Nantgwyn & Beulah Baptist
churches" T Price & J Pugh (1966)

Subject: [POWYS] Baptists in Wales
I’ve been digging into my Powell ancestry, much as did Margaret Harvey (and
Dorrie Carver before her). Generally located in the parishes of Llandinam,
Abbey-cwmhir and St Harmon. I now know that I’m going to have to learn a lot
more about the Baptists in these parts.
Fotunately, I’ve found a good resource - the Internet Archive. This has
downloadable PDF files of many old texts, many of which are searchable. For
example, I found “History of the Welsh Baptists” by J. Davis 1835, “A
History of the Baptist Association in Wales” by Joshua Thomas 1795 and
“Vavasor Powell’s Impartial Triall” by Evans and Griffith, 1654. They also
have texts in Welsh. If you’re interested, try this link:

Naturally, I’d like to hear from anyone else who’s also working in this
area. My g-g-grandfather was Abraham Powell, born 1800, farming at the Waun
Cwm Nant-y-stabl just north of Bwlch-y-Sarnau.
