Book Description
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.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... now and then something in Welsh. Edward Rees possessed several Bibles in Welsh and English, and also a " Concordance." The Merion Meeting, in conjunction with those of Radnor and Haverford, early took in hand the formation of a circulating library, but of the books issued to members nearly all were upon theology. In 1699 John Humphrey left a sum of money to print the "Twelve Patriarchs," in Welsh, "if convenience be had " in these parts, but that this was never done appears from a subsequent memorandum in the minutes concerning the bequest. A very old and valuable work, formerly a part of the library of John Humphrey, and afterwards bequeathed by him to Rowland Ellis, is now in the possession of the Friends' Library on Sixteenth Street, Philadelphia. It is a large folio edition of Percy Enciibie's History of the Ancient Britains, and has written in it the names of Rowland Ellis, Rowland Ellis, r., Herbert Rees, Eleanor Ellis and others. Most of the Velsh colonists, as we have observed, wrote excellent hands at a time when most people were satisfied to make their mark. If the Cymry erected substantial buildings in their native country, they certainly were careful to do so in Merion. We have seen that their first shelter was in caves dug in the banks of streams, or temporary log huts. Such makeshifts were soon abandoned for more substantial log houses, which were later supplanted by stone structures. The dwellings of john Roberts, of Pencoyd, commenced in 1684; of Rowland Ellis, at Bryn Mawr (Harriton); that built by Edward Rees, 1693; by Robert Owen, 1695; the houses of John Roberts (Wayne Mill) and Rees Thomas (now Rosemont), and the mansion erected by Jonathan Wynne in 1700 or I 701 (now near the...
