EspañolROWLAND ELLIS
'Rowland Ellis' was owner of the farm of Bryn Mawr near Dolgellau in the 17th century. He became a Quaker, along with a number of other inhabitants of Dolgellau, after a visit to the town by George Fox in 1657. As a result of religious persecution, he and others emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1686. The town of Bryn Mawr there is named after Ellis's farm.
In 1969 Marion Eames, a Welsh writer who lives in Dolgellau, published a semi-fictional account of the events leading up to the emigration under the title ''Y Stafell Ddirgel'', since translated into English as "The Secret Room".
