SALUSBURY family Lleweni, Bachygraig, There is considerable uncertainty about the origin of the Salusburies.

THOMAS, ISAAC (1911 - 2004), minister (Independents) and college lecturer published bilingual books which conveyed the results of his researches in a less detailed and technical manner: William Salesbury and His Testament to commemorate the four-hundredth anniversary of the publication of the first full translation of the New Testament into Welsh in 1967, and William Morgan and His Bible, for the celebrations of 1988.
