It may be presumed that he was b. near Llanboidy, Carms.; he was ordained deacon 2 June 1667, and priest 21 Sept. in the same year. He was licensed as curate of S. Clears, and later served Llanboidy. He may be the George Lewis instituted as rector of Henllan Amgoed on 3 June 1668; in the same year, on 14 Sept., he was instituted vicar of Abergwili. His successor came there in Sept. 1709. A translation of An earnest exhortation to Householders, by Robert Nelson, attributed to him by Moses Williams, was published in London in 1704.
