LifeGriffith was born in Aberdaron in 1734. She spent all of her adult life at a small cottage, Bryn Canaid, in the area of the parish called Uwchmynydd. She was known for herbal recipes. Noable amongst of which was her use of foxgloves for heart conditions. This was before it had been formally "discovered" by the British scientist William Withering. She also acted as a midwife and among the children was Richard Robert Jones otherwise known as the linguist Dic Aberdaron.[1] Griffith died at her home in 1821 and she was buried in St Hywyn's Church, Aberdaron.
