David Jeremiah (b. Bef. 27 May 1802, d. 26 Apr 1880)

David Jeremiah (son of William Jeremiah) was born Bef. 27 May 1802^{424, 425}, and died 26 Apr 1880. He married Alice Harry on 13 Feb 1829 in Llangyfelach Parish Church, Glamorgan, UK⁴²⁶.

Notes for David Jeremiah:
David Cwmdu. (to distinguish him from all the other Davids in the family - Cwmdu was the name of the house he lived in for the later part of his life) first comes to attention in the Llangyfelach Parish Register as being christened in May 1802. In his marriage certificate in 1829 he is described as "Ironfounder". In the 1841 Census he appears as living in Morriston, age 34, Moulder, with his wife Alice age 32 and children Jeremiah age 10, George age 7, Ann age 4 and Thomas age 1. In the 1851 Census he is shown as living in Graig Trewyddfa, age 42, Moulder. The family has increased with the addition of Alice age 7, Hannah age 4 and Margaret age 1. Jeremiah (now age 19) and George (now age 16) are both shown as Moulders.

Subsequently Hannah (26 mar 1854), Jeremiah (21 ago 1864), and Thomas (16 sep 1865) all died early.

By the time he made his Will in 1880 David Cwmdu had become a wealthy man. The Will is quite lengthy and complex, and appears to indicate that his surviving children at that time were George, Ann (married to Elias Davies), Alice (married to George Clarke) Margaret (married to William Williams, Tinplate manufacturer - DP's partner), and Mary Jane (married to Joseph Davies, Grocer). There is a clear implication that Ann was out of favour. Jeremiah is described in the Will as "deceased" and as having had two sons, David and Thomas, who survived and are beneficiaries.
