Farmer, Hafod Hallog From the notes of Janet Hearle et al. The eldest surviving son of John and Ann, he was baptised on Boxing Day, 1774 in Margam. He married Ann (nee Jones) at Maudlam Church, Kenfig on 10th April 1799. She was possibly the daughter or some near relative of Richard Jones, Portreeve of Kenfig, who died in September, 1800 (Story of Kenfig, P.66). He died on 21st August, 1832 and was buried at Margam together with his wife, who died in 1808 aged 33. In the same grave are buried Mary, nee Loveluck, Edward's daughter, wife of David Richards, Inkeeper, later of Wern, and Margaret and David Richards - they were Ann's husband's relatives. [David Richards, born 1816, was an Innkeeper of Llangwnwyd, later of Wern farm. His father was William Richards, a mason. Mary Loveluck was born 1817, married to David Richards in 1846 at Maudlam.] There is some confusion as to who his children were, as their baptisms are not recorded in Margam. He also seems to have had a daughter Ann, who married William Gubbins, of Laleston, in Margam in 1823, and three sons, Edward II, John and William (Trissant). [Verified by Elsie Davey.] In 1802 he was probably the tenant of Longland Farm, Margam (landowner Lord Jenner). In Margam Estate Rentals (1803.4, East Margam) he is described as "Edward Loveluck, tenant of 'Havod Hallog'" (282500,184500 OS Grid - HAVOD-HEULOG). Annual rent £40. Also at West Margam for: "6 Acres Hwch Lai. Annual Rent £6". He seems to have been quite prosperous by the time of his father's death, though he would still have been just under 30. JML: There is a discrepancy between Janet's date for Edward's death, and the PR for his burial.
