Commentary
David’s parentage:
The David Lloyd of this page had four children baptized at Trefeglwys: David, Mary, Hester, and Ann.
In her 1752 will, Margaret Savage of Trefeglwys, widow, named her granddaughters Mary Richard, Hester Davies, and Ann Brees, and also named David Lloyd without specifying his relationship to herself.
The Trefeglwys register records the marriages of Ann Lloyd to Thomas Brees in 1744/5 and Hester Lloyd to Morris Davies in 1744.
This evidence identifies David’s mother as the Margaret Savage who left the 1752 will. Margaret also names several nephews and nieces in her will, which enable her to be identified as Margaret Hall, the daughter of Christopher Hall of Trefeglwys.
A submission to the International Genealogical Index gives the marriage of David Lloyd and Margaret Hall 28 December 1689 in Trefeglwys. I cannot see the marriage on the digital image of the relevant page in the parish register at Ancestry.com, but much of the page is illegible in the image, and it may be that the marriage is legible in the physical register.
The Trefeglwys parish register records the burial of “David Loyd de Kefenbarroch” 4 November 1707, and the 1707 probate bond records that David’s widow was named Margaret.
The baptism of the David Lloyd of this page does not appear in the Trefeglwys register, but there is a gap of a few years in the early 1690s when it would plausibly have taken place. The baptism of several children to a David Lloyd are recorded from 1695 on, including Ursula Lloyd in 1695, Edward Lloyd in 1699/1700, and Mary Lloyd in 1707/8. The David Lloyd of this page mentioned his brother Edward and sister Mary in his will.
