Hi Robert
I have an Elizabeth Roberts, born in Llandyrnog,
baptised 2 June 1791, Her Fathers name Thomas
Roberts(1742) Mother Margaret Simon (1751ish).
Elizabeth did not marry or die in LLandyrnog so must
have left the parish. Could be a possibility.

EVERETT, D. D., was born in Gronant,
Flintshire, Wales,,
January 2, 1791.
He married ELIZABETH ROBERTS, of Rosa, near Denbigh,
Wales, August 28,
1816.
Does anyone on this list recognize either of these
names from the Welsh
side? What I have gathered so far is limited to the
American branch and
I would like to discover more about their families.
Thanks,

Further details:
He was the son of Rev. Lewis Everett (d. 1825) and
Jane Parry (d. 1825).
She was the daugher of Thomas Roberts (?1760-1834),
and Elizabeth Lewis (?1765-1842).
The couple left Denbigh for America in 1823,
supposedly taking much or
all of their congregation with them.
Their children were Elizabeth, who married Rev. John
J. Butler, D. D.;
John R., who removed to the Territory of Kansas in
the days of the "Free
Soil" controversy, and was closely associated with
John Brown in efforts
to restrain the extension of slavery into that
territory; Robert, Jr.,
who died at the age of thirty-four; Lewis; Jennie;
Mary H., a graduate
of the New York Medical College and Hospital for
Women; Sarah A., who
married William Prichard; Henry M.; Anna L.;
Cynthia; and Edward W., of
Emporia, Kansas.
Rev. Robert Everett in 1821 was one of twelve
ministers to found the
"Dysgedydd,' a religious monthly. He wrote a Welsh
catechism for Sunday
schools, first published in 1822, and, in
collaboration with others
compiled a hymnal which was long in use in Welsh
churches. In January,
1840, he issued the first number of "Y Cenhadwr
Americanydd" (The
American Messenger), a Welsh religious monthly
magazine, and was its
editor and publisher for thirty-five years.
