PHILIP
(
1721?
-
1790
),
Presbyterian minister
.
Little is known about him; he was a nephew of
Philip
David

, and therefore presumably a
Monmouthshire
man. The name appears on the list of
Carmarthen Academy
students in
1745
. In
1749
he succeeded
Richard
Rees
(q.v.)
as
pastor
of the newly incorporated congregation at
Cefn-coed-cymer
, an offshoot
of
Cwm-y-glo
. He was an
Arminian
, and probably later on an
Arian
. D.
19 May 1790
. His uncle's diaries have several references to him.
