Details of person: Davies, Samuel

Born: Not known       Died: 1752       Active from: Not known       Active to: Not known
Notes:Samuel Davies' will describes him as an Aberystwyth Innkeeper but does not name the inn. It might have been one of the three big inns: the Gogerddan Arms, the Talbot or the Old Black Lion but might have been another inn. Detailed records for inns and public houses are rare before about 1800.

The will lists his possessions (cash and furniture etc.), but none can be associated specifically with the inn.
