Author: Albert Hughes Williams
Born 15 June 1784. He began to preach in 1802, entered the ministry in 1805, and 'travelled' in Wales until 1816, when he was transferred to the English work. He became a supernumerary in 1854 and died at Northwich, 8 September 1855.
He was the first Welsh missionary to be stationed in Manchester; he was largely instrumental in erecting the first Welsh Wesleyan Methodist chapel in London; and his letters in Yr Eurgrawn Wesleyaidd, 1829, are valuable sources for the early history of the denomination, for the first Wesleyan Methodist society at Denbigh met in the house of his father, Henry Carter.
