Biography

William was born in 1759, he married Sarah Elizabeth Harper on the 9th August 1790 [1]

They had 3 known children Elen, Aneurin and Isabella.

He died at Dôl y Cae, in the parish of Tal-y-llyn, Merionethshire in 1835.

Close to destitution, in 1806, following the death of Rev. Rice Pughe of Nantglyn, Denbighshire (William's uncle), he inherited 'Tanygyrt' but did not move there for some time. William Owen took the name Pughe, and in 1816 he rented the land to his son, Aneurin Owen (1792-1851), later a prominent historian and Welsh scholar. [2] Aneurin's son Meilir (1830-1894) then took occupancy. The family must have been of some importance in the village of Nantglyn as there are several memorials in the church, which includes William Owen Pughe (1759-1835), his son Aneurin Owen (1792-1851), Anuerin's Wife Jane (1877), Anuerin's sons William (1820-1859) and Meilir Owen (1830-1894) and Meilir's wife Katherine Rawlinson.

William Owen Pughe was also known by the bardic names of Gwilym Owain (William Owen), Gwilym Dawel (Silent William), and Idrison (Son of Idris).
