I have been told that this gentleman is an ancestor of mine. I have found a number Of Reverend Saunders but none seem to have that appendage. He should have come from Carmarthenshire.

Looks like a very interesting man. I shall have to work back now to check if he's 'the one'. Seems likely though, thanks
