William the Conqueror not only brought feudalism to his new kingdom. He
also invited various religious communities to establish themselves in
Britain. Cistercians, Benedictines, Premonstratensians, Carthusians, and
other monastic groups made their way across the English Channel and built
beautiful abbeys and priories, many of which are now in ruin. In many
ways, however, the leaders of the various orders had much the same power
as the lords of the realm. And, with that power came wealth and the
ability to build palaces.
Among the most powerful clerics in the medieval realm were the Bishops of
St. David's. These men supplanted the native Welsh religious sects in the
early 12th century and ruled the See of St. David's in support of the
Norman king. Owning vast estates, they lived in grandeur comparable to
that of their secular counterparts. Great bishops palaces were erected in
St. David's, Lamphey, and Llawhaden. They also owned "inns", or great
houses, in London and in Ludlow, where the Council of Wales and the
Marches took place. Minor residences also existed in Llanddewi,
Llandygwydd, New Moat, Trefin, and Wolfscastle. While none of the smaller
houses has survived, the three great palaces remain in splendid ruin,
currently under the care of CADW: Welsh Historic Monuments.
Men with great power often needed a sturdy residence to defend
themselves.

William the Conqueror not only brought feudalism to his new kingdom.
He also invited various religious communities to establish themselves
in Britain. Cistercians, Benedictines, Premonstratensians, Carthusians,
and other monastic groups made their way across the English Channel
and built beautiful abbeys and priories, many of which are now in ruin.
In many ways, however, the leaders of the various orders had much the
same power as the lords of the realm. And, with that power came
wealth and the ability to build palaces.
Among the most powerful clerics in the medieval realm were the
Bishops of St. David's. These men supplanted the native Welsh
religious sects in the early 12th century and ruled the See of
St. David's in support of the Norman king. Owning vast estates,
they lived in grandeur comparable to that of their secular
counterparts. Great bishops palaces were erected in St. David's,
Lamphey, and Llawhaden. They also owned "inns", or great houses,
in London and in Ludlow, where the Council of Wales and the Marches
took place. Minor residences also existed in Llanddewi, Llandygwydd,
New Moat, Trefin, and Wolfscastle. While none of the smaller houses
has survived, the three great palaces remain in splendid ruin,
currently under the care of CADW: Welsh Historic Monuments.
Men with great power often needed a sturdy residence to defend themselves.
The Bishops of St. David's were no exceptions. In many ways, a bishop's
palace was his castle. Like a castle, the palace contained quarters for
a garrison and servants, a domestic wing with the hall, kitchen and
service rooms, and the bishop's luxurious private apartments. Oftentimes,
the structure was fortified with battlements, an encircling curtain wall
or deep moat, and a gatehouse. Generally however, the palaces were not
as heavily fortified as a real castle. Only one of the three palaces
of the Bishops of St. David's resembled a true castle. That castle
still towers high above the valleys of Pembrokeshire. That castle is Llawhaden.
Below: the 13th-century gatehouse at Llawhaden Castle.
Llawhaden Castle is located about 8 miles east of Haverfordwest,
just off the A40. Bounded by hedgerows, the narrow approach road
into Llawhaden gives no hint that the great bishops once took
refuge here. Even the village itself, quiet and rather secluded,
hides the splendor of its medieval past. The bishop's castle
takes a little effort to locate, but the short stroll from the
car park is a nice surprise, lined with pretty flowers and charming
homes. The name of the village and its castle, Llawhaden, apparently
derives from Llanhuadain or Llanaedan, "the Church of St. Aidan"
(which still stands to the east of the castle).
Most likely, Llawhaden began as an earth and timber castle
in the 12th century, the prize of the Norman Bishop Bernard.
Over time, Llawhaden underwent several alterations as different
bishops left their mark. Like many castles, this one sat high
atop a hill. Like many castles, a deep ditch and earthen
embankment formed the earliest outer defenses. They still
give the castle a sense of power. And, like many earth and
timber castles, the defenses were refortified with stone,
in this case, in response to a siege led by the Welshman,
the Lord Rhys, in the late 12th century.
In the 13th century, Bishop Thomas Bek (1280-93) made
arguably the greatest impact at Llawhaden, when he
established and expanded the village. Bek's work at
the castle includes the complex hall block, with
its kitchen and service rooms (buttery and pantry)
and stone-vaulted undercrofts, and the bishop's
elaborately adorned chambers above (complete with latrines!).
Today, this sector of the castle is largely ruined, but
still radiates the prestige of its occupant.
Below right: The castle well & hall ruins
During the next century, the bishops added the twin-towered gatehouse,
the most impressive structure at Llawhaden Castle. Looming directly
over the dry ditch, its foreboding face would have intimidated anyone
seeking entry. Although the exterior has been well preserved, the
interior of the gatehouse is now disappointingly decayed.
At the same time, a fine range of domestic buildings was added on
the southern side of the castle. Some rooms served as apartments
and contained fireplaces and private latrines. At the eastern
sat the chapel, which still contains lovely arched windows, a
cruciform ceiling, and plasterwork. The chapel tower next to
the chapel was even more elaborate, with a fireplace, a latrine,
vaulted rooms, and access to the battlements. Ironically, the
dungeon was located In the basement of the chapel tower.
Below: Chapel & Guest Chambers from the side of the castle motte.
The most distinguishing feature of this wing is a five-storied tower-porch,
which can still be climbed and towers high above the other structures
inside the castle. Clearly, this unique structure not only functioned
as an observation tower, but also announced (albeit silently!) the
bishop's superior status.
After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the
roles of the Bishops of St. David's changed dramatically. Their
palaces in West Wales fell into ruin and they abandoned their
great castle at Llawhaden. Later, Llawhaden Castle became a
quarry for local building material, degrading the structure
even farther.
Imposing Llawhaden Castle sits aloof yet intimately connected
to the nearby village. The neighboring countryside, so typically
Welsh, is a resplendent and undulating green, painted with rugged
patches of trees and velvety pasturelands. The grey stone castle
is a haunting contrast to its vivid surroundings, recalling the
eventful history and splendor of the Bishops of St. David's.

Morgan David migrated to America from Pembrokeshire,
South Wales on the ship Vine, 1684 to Welsh Settlement,
Merion Township, PA. From the First Families of America.
Wills proved at Philadelphia per the Pensylvania Geneological Magazine
"No. 149. Morgan David, Merion Township, Phil Co., yeoman. Land to sons John,
Evan and David. Wife Kathrin David to have the residue of the land, she to be
Executrix. Daughters Catherine and Elizabeth, sixty pounds to be equally divided.
Legacy to meeting house in Haverford. William Howell, Morris Llewellyn,
Francis Howell and David Lawrence to be Overseers and Guardians.
Leaves legacy to meeting house in Haverford. Mentions property
called Chestnutt-well and Beech-well.
Signed with his mark 12 15 1697/5. Proved 718 1695.
Witnesses: Robert Owen, Rowland Powell, John Humphreys."
This Davis family covers a period of about two hundred and ninety years.
This is a remarkable record when you consider that Hezekial Davis
stated he was born in WInston-Salem near Moravian Town in North
Carolina and his father had a bible and could write,
because he said, "he copied the record from his father's bible record."
We have consistently followed the names of Harmon, Eliphas
(Eli), Abagah, Jepthi, Jesse, John, Reason and Vann.
These names appear to be bible names and show a deep
religious feeling among this Davis family.

MEMO The genealogy back to Morgan Davies is consistently reported.
!SURNAME: Children sometimes listed as DAVIS.
!UNPROVEN: Information from "The Davis Family in Wales and America" by
Harry Alexander Davis, pub 1927, Wash DC.[sdw 8/5/1998] Morgan Davis ba
1622-3 Lantwidvoyrde, Glamorgan, Wales. He was a witness to a lease of
lands from Rees Williams to his father in Carmarthen Co., dated 8 July 1673.
Morgan married Catherine late in life, settled Lithrens Castle,
Pembrokeshire. (Circumstances indicate the he was closely related to Wm and
Francis Howell, who came to Penn. It is not known if thru his mother or his
wife.) From the dates of the births of his last three children which are
recorded in Merion Meeting Records (MSS Hist. Soc. Penn.) he had at least
one son born in Wales, i.e., John. He came into the Province of
Pennsylvania prior to 1586, probably on ship "Vine" which arrived 17 7
mo,1684 bringing many Welsh families to settle in Merion, Haverford, and
Radnor. (Welsh Settlmt Penn., Browning, p 505) Morgan David owned by a
triparty deed dated 19. 6 mo 1686, and signed by Richard Davies, Morgan
David, and William Howell, a parcel of land, 100 acres, in Merion Township.
Land deeds of the Haverford School and College show that the College land
was originally part of the 410 ac which Richard Davies conveyed 19 6 mo 1686
to Thos. Ellis, Gent.; Morgan David, Husbandman; and Francis Lloyd ,
Shoemaker. (Welsh, Settlmt of Penn., Browning, pp 202-227) He was a
Freeholder and owned 354 ac of land. (Welsh Founders of Penn.,, Glenn Vol.
i, p.157)
Morgan and Catherine David witnessed the marriage of Thomas Pascale 15 9 mo
1692. They were witnesses to the marriage of Thomas Rees, o Haverford and
Rebecca Williams 11 4 mo 1692. Morgan was a witness to the marriage of
Lewis Waker, of Philadelphia, late of Merion and Mary Moris, of the same
place, 22 2 mo 1693. (MSS Hist Soc PA)
Morgan David dated his will 1512 mo 1694-5. He was buried 17 12 mo 1694=5.
This will was probated by his widow, Catherine who was sole executrix, 18 7
mo 1695. (Welst Settlmt PA, Browning, p 245 Gen Soc PA vol ii p 31) His
estate to go to his eldest sons, John and Evan; he mentions son David, and
leaves legacies to dtrs Catherine and Elisabeth, and to the Meeting House at
Haverford. He mentions property called "Chestnut-well" and "Beech-well".
William Howell, Morris Llewellyn, Francis Howell, and Dvid Lawrence are
named overseers. Wtinesses to this will were Robert Owen, Robert Powell,
and John Humphreys.
One hundre ac of land mentioned in the triparty deed was conveyed by the
relict and the overseers to James Thomas by deed 8 3 mo 1695. James Thomas
immediately reconveyed the same to his son, James Thomas.
Editors of DAVIS CLEARING HOUSE say much of the book has been disproven.
! Further research is needed.

John David, son of Morgan (1) David. Born Pembrokeshire, Wales 168_. He
came to Penn. with his parents when a small child and about 1684. He was a
witness to his mother's second marriage3 11 mo 1697. He married about 1699,
Ann, dtr of Thomas Thomas, and young widow of David Evan, born Wales 1683.
John and Ann were witnesses to marriages in Haverford 4 11 mo 1706 and 11 3
mo 1715. He removed to Pencader Hundred New Castle county, Delaware about
June 1716 and is shown in the list of signers of the Confession of 4 Feb.
1716-17 as "Shion Dafydd". [Pencader Rec p21) In May 1717 he was a joint
purchaser with his brother David of 400 ac of land from William Davis and
David Evans, part of a 30,000 acre grant to said Davs and Evans from Wm Penn
in 1701. (Deeds, Lib Q1 fol 81) He was deeded land in Pencader Hundred by
William Curston, executor for the estate of Edw Gray, to said Gray from
William Davis of Radnor PA and Dvid Evans of Pencader Hundred. (Deeds, Lib.
G1, fol 167) In 1727 he was deeded a parcel of land by John Thomas.
(Deeds, Lib H1 fol 189) In 1729 he was deeded a parcel of land by Griffith
John (Deeds, Lib 11 fol 124) On 30 Apr 1736 he was deeded by William
Cureton and Susannah his wife, 139 ac mor or less, of land in St Georges
Hundred, Del. (Deeds, Lib Off, fol 109.) In May 1743 John and David divided
their land giving each other a release of claim, etc.* John and Ann his
wife could not write as they signed this deed with a mark. This deed was
proven in court in May 1748. The release of David and Martha his wife, to
John David was never recorded. The following abstract of a deed is of
interest: John Hopkins and Rachel hise wife, of Pencader Hundred, convey 20
Jan 1767 to David Davis, Cordwainer 26 ac of land, part of 400 ac deeded to
John and David Davis, joint partners (1717), and they the said John and
David David divided the same, in two equal shares between them and gave
release to each other for every one his share, dated 16 May 1743; and the
said 26 ac is part of said John Davis, his share. The said John David in
his last will and testament dated 22 Mar 1763 did bequeath, give, and devise
all his said lands unto the above John Hopkins and Rachel, his wife, etc...
by right of said will, the said John Hopkins and Rachel his wife converys
said 26 ac of land to the above named David Davis. (Deeds, Lib. Y1, fol
127). [The spelling of the surname David and Davis is just as it is in the
book] swd 8/98. This will has not been discovered, nor is there any record
of administration of estates of John or Ann David. Date of teh death of
John was about 1764-5, it is recorded in the church register but no date is
given. (Pencader Rec., p 70) Date of the death of Ann is not know tho she
was evidently deceased prior to 22 Mar 1763.

MEMO The genealogy back to Morgan Davies is consistently reported.
!SURNAME: Children sometimes listed as DAVIS.
!UNPROVEN: Information from "The Davis Family in Wales and America" by Harry Alexander Davis, pub 1927, Wash DC. Morgan Davis ba 1622-3 Lantwidvoyrde, Glamorgan, Wales. He was a witness to a lease of lands from Rees Williams to his father in Carmarthen Co., dated 8 July 1673. Morgan married Catherine late in life, settled Lithrens Castle, Pembrokeshire. (Circumstances indicate the he was closely related to Wm and Francis Howell, who came to Penn. It is not known if thru his mother or his wife.) From the dates of the births of his last three children which are recorded in Merion Meeting Records (MSS Hist. Soc. Penn.) he had at least one son born in Wales, i.e., John. He came into the Province of Pennsylvania prior to 1686, probably on ship "Vine" which arrived 17 7 mo,1684 bringing many Welsh families to settle in Merion, Haverford, and Radnor. (Welsh Settlmt Penn., Browning, p 505) Morgan David owned by a triparty deed dated 19. 6 mo 1686, and signed by Richard Davies, Morgan David, and William Howell, a parcel of land, 100 acres, in Merion Township. Land deeds of the Haverford School and College show that the College land was originally part of the 410 ac which Richard Davies conveyed 19 6 mo 1686 to Thos. Ellis, Gent.; Morgan David, Husbandman; and Francis Lloyd , Shoemaker. (Welsh, Settlmt of Penn., Browning, pp 202-227) He was a Freeholder and owned 354 ac of land. (Welsh Founders of Penn.,, Glenn Vol. i, p.157)
Morgan and Catherine David witnessed the marriage of Thomas Pascale 15 9 mo 1692. They were witnesses to the marriage of Thomas Rees, of Haverford and Rebecca Williams 11 4 mo 1692. Morgan was a witness to the marriage of Lewis Waker, of Philadelphia, late of Merion and Mary Moris, of the same place, 22 2 mo 1693. (MSS Hist Soc PA)
Morgan David dated his will 15 12 mo 1694-5. He was buried 17 12 mo 1694=5. This will was probated by his widow, Catherine who was sole executrix, 18 7 mo 1695. (Welsh Settlmt PA, Browning, p 245 Gen Soc PA Vol ii p 31) His estate to go to his eldest sons, John and Evan; he mentions son David, and leaves legacies to dtrs Catherine and Elisabeth, and to the Meeting House at Haverford. He mentions property called "Chestnut-well" and "Beech-well". William Howell, Morris Llewellyn, Francis Howell, and Dvid Lawrence are named overseers. Witnesses to this will were Robert Owen, Robert Powell, and John Humphreys.
One hundred ac of land mentioned in the triparty deed was conveyed by the relict and the overseers to James Thomas by deed 8 3 mo 1695. James Thomas immediately reconveyed the same to his son, James Thomas.
Editors of DAVIS CLEARING HOUSE say much of the book has been disproved.
! Further research is needed.

The name and date of the professor who gave the speech on Pres. Jeff. Davis gen was:
"Genealogy of JEFFERSON DAVIS" -an address delivered Oct. 9, 1908,
before Lee Camp, #1, Confederate Veterans, Richmond, VA, by William H.
Whitsitt, Professor of James Thomas Jr., School of Philosophy, Richmond
College - 1908.
Call No. Gen. 929.2 - D294 w. State Library [I assume this is the Virginia State Libraey in Richmond.].
Also, "Records of the Welsh Tract
Baptist Meeting House, Peneader Hundred, New Castle, DEL, 1701 - 1828.
Published by the Historical Society of DEL, Wilmungton, 1904.
If, I say IF we have all of this right, the three Davis brothers coming to PA in
June, 1701 from CARMARTHENSHIRE, Wales would be:
1. Richard Davis, will proved Granville Co., NC 1761
2. James Davis, granted land in c1756 on Long Cane Creek in Old 96 Dist.,
now McCormick Co., SC
3. Evan Davis, will proved?? 14 May 1746 Phildalelphia, PA; father of Evan
Davis c 1729 - c1758 Washington, GA; father of Samuel Emory Davis 1755/58
Washington, GA - 4 Jul 1824 Woodville; MS, father of CSA Pres. Jeff Davis 3
Jul c1808 KY - 6 Dec 1889 MS
This tabulation made in hopes of getting some "back talk" from you all.
Wouldn't it be great to get a list of Rev. War soldiers who descended from
these three Davis brothers. There were at least six at the Battle of
Kettle Creek in GA and the Battle of Long Cane Creek in SC.
Please send and/or post more Davis family information and your e-mail addresses.
