Ebenezer Morris was the son of David and Jane Morris who were farmers living at Llandyfriog and he was one of at least five children.

Ebenezer Morris left his mark on the history of the town. He is said to have had a commanding presence and possessed a robust habit of militancy which, was only equalled by the fervour with which he strove mightily against the forces of evil in his cure of souls. Morris undertook restoration work in 1823 and 1844 when the old south porch was removed along with an old three-tiered pulpit.

1754 Around this time Jane — ? was born. She became the wife of David Morris, farmer, and the mother of Revd Ebenezer Morris (Vicar of Llanelli 1820-1867).

Apparently, at the initial ‘house warming’ at the Thomas Arms a little too much ‘Cwrw Dda’ or Good Ale was consumed which led to a fracas between the Revd Morris and a Carmarthenshire Magistrate, John Edward Saunders, JP. As a result of the dispute the Magistrate was carried to another room by his friends.

During his time as vicar Ebenezer Morris was involved in various altercations, including a dispute with William Chambers about proposals to widen the road near the church. Morris was a man of great physical strength and was said to be ‘a fighting parson’. In 1832, when he assaulted William Chambers over their dispute, he was fined £20 and bound over for two years to keep the peace.
