THE WELSH IN AMERICA

Welsh immigrants and Welsh-Americans have played important roles in the history of the United States and Canada. It is claimed that seventeen signatories of the Declaration of Independence, four signatories of the Constitution and eleven Presidents were of Welsh ancestry including Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. The Welsh were prominent in early settlements in Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virgnia. They were prominent in the industrial development of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and pioneered the exploration of the Missouri River and the opening up of Minnesota and Wisconsin. There are many People of Welsh decent in North American including over two million in the United States alone. More... about NWAF's work
