Will of John Edwards of Gelliwernen farmhouse, dated 28 January 1847.
On 23 August 1843, over 500 of Rebecca's daughters made their way to Gelliwernen home of John Edwards, agent to Rees Goring Thomas - one of the landed gentry of Llannon. He was responsible for collecting tithes from the local farmers for Rees Goring Thomas who was an absent landlord. John Edwards was known as an unpopular man who was insensitive and arrogant to people who were trying their best to pay their debts.
