David Williams (coal owner)
David Williams (1809–1863), known by his bardic name ''Alaw Goch'' was a prominent coal-owner in the Aberdare valley and also a keen supporter of Welsh culture and the eisteddfod
==Early life==
Williams was born on 12 July 1809 at Llwyn Drain in the parish of Ystradowen, near Cowbridge, Glamorgan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/s-WILL-DAV-1809.html?query=david+williams&field=name )〕 When he was around twelve years old he moved to Aberdare with his parents and after working as a sawyer, his father's trade, at the ironworks at Abernant,he became involved in coal-mining and appears to have been one of a small group of miners who struck upon a rich vein of coal at Ynysgynon.〔 In 1837 he married Ann Morgan at St John's Church, Aberdare and they had a son, Gwilym.〔
Williams was a self-made man, in a similar mould to another native Welsh coal owner, David Davis, Blaengwawr His first venture was at Ynysgynon in the 1840s, in partnership initially with one Lewis Lewis.〔 This was a successful venture and he soon opened another colliery at Aberaman, generally known as 'Williams's Pit' having obtained a lease from Crawshay Bailey.〔 His next venture was the Deep Duffryn colliery at Mountain Ash, which he eventually sold to John Nixon for £42,000.〔 With this money he again sank another colliery at Cwmdare in 1853, and, after a further success, he again sold out. In this way he became a wealthy man, owning land at Llanwonno, Trealaw, which is named after him, and Miskin Manor.〔
