  JOHN DAVIES OF KIDWELLY
Davies' standing in the community is indicated by the fact that in the year his son matriculated at Oxford he was amongst the commissioners appointed to enquire into the dispersion of the lands of the Chantry of St Nicholas in Kidwelly.
Davies was also associated with the circle of Katherine Philips, and it has been suggested that he acted as an intermediary between the literary coteries of the latter and Stanley.
John Davies' civic and marital status, are thus confirmed by documents relating directly to his death in 1693, the date of which is given by Wood and accepted by all modern authorities.

 From the Publisher - September '97
It is less a frustration to most serious journalists than it is to serious publishers who are trying to package the whole thing into a business that serves the educable masses and survives the vagaries of a few individuals.
Compared to publishers, most good journalists have it easy because they are insulated from much of the pressure of raising the revenue for their own salaries.
John Davies says he is investing in the Metropolitan because "it is the highest quality print medium in San Diego." Very nice.

John Noble Barlow was a painter (me= sixth), and although he’s dead, he is an artist, and thus his fame still shines.
Then we have John D Barlow, who co-wrote a book about suicide (me=seventh), and might reasonably be said to out-fame me because his sales ranking at Amazon is better.
