Job Lewis left his mark on Glascoed village! He sounds like a real character. He was born in Glascoed in about 1828 and probably lived his whole life in the hamlet. He was living at Cwym (probably Lower Cwm) farm at the time of the 1841 census, with a Lewis family who were all born in Glascoed (Rachel - aged “60”, Charles aged “20” and William aged “40”. I don’t know whether they were related for sure, but it is a fair bet that there was some sort of relationship between them. Job was one of the major players in the “Glascoed riots”. The most illuminating article over Job’s role in the dispute can be found here. He seemed to be quite a character! Job died in 1865 after a fall from a hay wagon - reported in the Usk Observer. Needs more analysis! I need more sleep first before unravelling this one!!! A few of the Lewis families seem to be inter-related. NOTES FROM OLWEN HUGHES: Thanks for providing this!!!
