Ebenezer Thomas (Eben Fardd) 1802-1863 was born in Llanarmon. His father was a weaver and Ebenezer also became proficient in the craft. He managed the school in Llangybi and later moved to the village of Clynnog Fawr to be in charge of the school there. He became interested in poetry at an early age and was acquainted with other poets in Eifionydd - Robert ap Gwilym Ddu and Dewi Wyn o Eifion. He won the chair at the Powys Eisteddfod in 1824 and in Liverpool Eisteddfod in 1840. In 1842 - having broken all connections with the Church - he established a school at his home in Clynnog.
