Christened 6 May 1774 (his date of his birth is not known), his parents being Elias and Jane Jones, Brynllwyn (or Crynllwyn) Bach, Aber-erch, near Pwllheli. He received a religious upbringing from his grandfather, John Elias, and when he began to preach he adopted his grandfather's name. He was admitted exhorter at Christmas 1794 and soon his fame as a preacher spread throughout Wales. For a brief period he attended the school kept by Evan Richardson, Caernarvon. On 22 February 1799 he married the daughter of Richard Broadhead, Tre'r Gof, Cemaes, Anglesey, and went to live in Anglesey, making his home in Llanfechell, near Cemaes, where his wife kept a shop. He was ordained in 1811 (at the first ordination service of the connexion). His wife died 2 April 1828. On 10 February 1830 in Saint David's Welsh church, Liverpool he married the widow of Sir John Bulkeley of Presaddfed, Bodedern; her maiden name was Ann Williams, of Aberffraw, and she was of humble antecedents. After this marriage he moved to Fron, Llangefni, where he died 8 June 1841; he was buried 15 June at Llanfaes, near Beaumaris.
