Three miles north-west of Llanegwad lies Llwyn Gwyn, the home of Anthony Jones a younger son of David Jones of Llwynffortun (also called Llwynfortune). He married Margaret daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Woodford (d. 1648) of Castle Pigin, Abergwili (Carmarthenshire).

The vicar married Jane, daughter and heiress of John Griffiths of Castell Pigin. He was buried on 2 January 1744-5, leaving a son Richard Jones, High Sheriff in 1751, who died unmarried, and a daughter Jane the ultimate heiress who married but died without issue in 1786. 

At its most prosperous the Llwyngwyn estate consisted of the capital messuage of Llwyngwyn, the messuage called Penllwyn­gwyn and Cwm y Carw, and Llwyngwyn Mill, in Llanegwad parish, the capital messuage called Hendre Hedog (which the Revd.
