William Owen Pughe
William Owen Pughe (7 August 1759 – 4 June 1835) was a Welsh antiquarian and grammarian best known for his ''Welsh and English Dictionary'', published in 1803, but also known for his grammar books and 'Pughisms' (neologisms).〔"The Invention of Tradition", Prys Morgan〕
==Biography==
He was born William Owen at Llanfihangel-y-pennant, Merionethshire, but the family moved to Ardudwy when William was about seven. He relocated to London in 1776. It was here that he got to know Owen Jones. Initially he worked as a clerk in a solicitor's office, subsequently becoming a teacher both in a school and as a private tutor for the children of the wealthy.
In 1783 he joined the Society of Gwyneddigion, and soon began compiling his Welsh-English dictionary.
In 1806, he inherited the estates of the Rev. Rees Pughe, of Nantglyn, Denbighshire, a distant relative. It was in order to inherit his cousin's lands that he added the name "Pughe" to his birth-name. After this he enjoyed a private income which meant that he was able to devote his whole time to literary and scholarly pursuits. He remained in London after 1815, when his wife died, but with his health declining he returned to live in Wales in 1825. He died ten years later in a friend's cottage beside Tal-y-llyn Lake.
