Born in 1822, succeeded his father as Principal of the Bala Independent College in 1854 where he stayed until 1892. Michael D. Jones also played an important role in the scheme to establish a Welsh colony in Patagonia. He invested in the venture financially and made a great loss which resulted in the sale of his home, Bodiwan.
