Thank you for adding the stub. While many great Welshmen in this period, most notably poets, took a moniker which often indicated their locality, I do not think John Jones was one of these. He was known as "John Jones, Talysarn" simply to distinguish him from other John Joneses, not as "John Jones (Talysarn)" which would indicate that he could be referred to by the moniker alone.

- Well, he certainly could be referred to simply as "Talysarn", and people would know who you meant. But it's the normal wikipedia convention to use the brackets to differentiate people of the same name, and I think it's right to do it here. Deb 12:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
