Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history and genealogy of the Great Welsh Tract near Philadelphia granted by William Penn in 1682 and settled by a group of Welsh Quakers. The area of the tract includes the Pennsylvania townships of Merion, Radnor, and Haverford, near Philadelphia. Following introductory chapters on the causes of the Welsh exodus and the negotiations and terms of the grant, Glenn's focus is on lists and genealogies of the settlers themselves, and he brings many of the pedigrees down through the 1800s. Detailed genealogies or extensive genealogical notes are included on a number of families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Merion in the Welsh Tract: With Sketches of the Townships of Haverford and Radnor; Historical and Genealogical Collections Concerning the Welsh Barony in the Province of Pennsylvania, Settled by the Cymric Quakers in 1682 Scattered through the genealogies will be found valuable items of township and state history. The pedigrees in cluded in this work are drawn from unquestionable sources and may be relied upon as correct in all the essential points. No genealogy has been printed in these pages that has not been proved beyond question by original family documents and pub lic records. In all cases the authorities are given for each defi nite statement. NO responsibility, however, is assumed for errors which may be discovered in records of descendants of early set tlers where such information is stated to have been furnished by another person or derived from printed books, but such communications and type matter were carefully transcribed and verified where possible. It is not practicable, or within the scope of this book to give at length all of the various de scendants down to the present generations, but in every case enough data has been furnished to enable any descendant to insert, on a separate page, his or her line, if desired. The importance of the early Welsh emigration to Penn sylvania, and the excellent results following the infusion of Cymric blood into the veins Of late generations of Pennsylva nians, cannot well be overestimated. In the municipal govern ment of Philadelphia, during the Colonial period and the first half of the present century, the descendants of the Welsh Friends bore a distinguished part. A score of the earlier Mayors were of Cymric lineage. And of these I may name Edward Roberts and Robert Wharton as the best known. Of the Judges of the various Courts, and of the most eminent of the members of the Bar of this city and state, down to the present day, a very large proportion trace to the settlers of Merion, Radnor or Haverford. It is a curious fact, well worthy of remark, that the entire medical history of Philadelphia, beginning with Dr. Thomas Wynne, Dr. Griffith Owen and Dr. Edward Jones, proceeding with Dr. Lloyd Zachary, Dr. Thomas Cadwalader, Dr. Cad walader Evans, Drs. Thomas and Phineas Bond, Dr. John Jones, Dr. Judah Foulke, and continuing through a long line to the most celebrated physicians and surgeons of our own day, is directly traceable, through ancestry or influence, to Welsh blood. Of the Revolutionary worthies descended from the Cymric Quakers we have spoken briefly elsewhere. In letters, in science and in art, some of the descendants of these early Colonists have acquired especial fame. It is also worthy of note that very much has been accomplished in the His torical Society of Pennsylvania by men of Cymric lineage, and the Council of that body has seldom been without a represent ative of some Merion settler.

Download or read book Wales the Welsh and the Making of America written by Vivienne Sanders and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1971, Californian congressman Thomas M. Rees told the US House of Representatives that ‘very little has been written of what the Welsh have contributed in all walks of life in the shaping of American history’. This book is the first systematic attempt to both recount and evaluate the considerable yet undervalued contribution made by Welsh immigrants and their immediate descendants to the development of the United States. Their lives and achievements are set within a narrative outline of American history that emphasises the Welsh influence upon the colonists’ rejection of British rule, and upon the establishment, expansion and industrialisation of the new American nation. This book covers both the famous and the unsung who worked and fought to acquire greater prosperity and freedom for themselves and for their nation.
