Born at Tŷ-gwyn, Cefnarthen, in 1717 it is thought. He lived on his own property, Tŷ-gwyn. He officiated with other ministers at the ordination of John Davies at Cefnarthen, August 1768; it is not known, however, whether he was an ordained minister or had started to preach in his own church before 1771, but it is known that he ministered at Cefnarthen from 1771 to 1780, and that he received a grant from the Presbyterian Board in 1774. He signed a preface (22 July 1754) to a second edition (Bristol 1754) of Mêr Difinyddiaeth Iachus. He died 1 April 1780.
