Information from Deborah Birkin, 12 Jan. 2017:
Rev. Morgan Jones curate of Blewbury born in 1748 in Carmarthanshire is well documented for his outrageous eccentricities and miserly behaviour.
See the online transcription of the registers of Blewbury 1588-1813

The following notes on the Registers of Blewbury, as well as the transcription of the two volumes here printed, were made by Joseph Forrest Fry, Esq., late of Upton (the adjoining village to Blewbury), shortly before his death in 1907. (The registers cover the period 1588-1813). John Keble, from 1781 to 1824, father of the author of " The Christian Year"
in 1782 appointed the Rev. Morgan Jones as his curate-in-charge, who held the post for about forty two years. Jones was the well- known miser, of whom an account is given in the Annual Register for 1827, and also in Hone's Table Book.
Morgan Jones retired in 1824 and returned to Wales where he lived with his brother (David Jones the wealthy & renown Welsh banker) at his Blaenos estate, Cilycwn, Llandovery Carmarthanshire where he resided until his death. He died 6th Aug 1827. He is buried in the parish Church in the Jones family vault. A large marble urn memorialising his family is in the nave on which his death is also recorded. It is a listed monument. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-16968-jones-monument-in-ne-part-of-churchyard-o#.WGRMk7tOeUk

Jones died in Cilycwn Wales 6 Aug 1827 and was buried on the 16th.
His will and testament, which has always been of public interest, (available from the national archives) clearly states he is the Rev. Morgan Jones, clerk late of Blewbury. He left his miserly accumulated fortune to his nephews in his home town of Llandovery
