There was a Cribyn woollen factory in Llanidoes in 1841 and later........owned by the Edmund Cleaton family.

A family member from Wales has told us in the past that he thinks Richard Benbow's farm in the late 1600's and early 1700's was on Gribyn-fach hill above Llawryglyn to the west of Trefeglwys. He showed it to us on a map when we visited the area, and I took a picture of it. Lately, I have been looking at this location again, and it's no feat to re-discover that "fach" means "small." That one's not hard. But, although I can use Google and find various Welsh place names with "gribyn" in them, none of the online welsh-to-English dictionaries I've tried have the term "gribyn" in their databases, and I can't seem to find the meaning anywhere, even when I try "gribin" and "gribbin." I don't know that some of these dictionaries are right when they suggest "cribyn" as an alternative. I would greatly appreciate knowing the definition in English, and anything interesting about the origin of the word.
