This work follows hundreds of Welsh pioneers into Pennsylvania via the records of the various land companies who re-settled William Penn's famous grant of land along the Schuylkill River. It utilizes lists of settlers, land patents, plat maps, and biographical sketches to flesh out the process of settlement in Merion and the adjacent towns of Haverford and Radnor. Still other important features are a study of the sometimes strained affairs between Welsh Tract settlers and William Penn, various personal accounts by the settlers, and a history of the Quaker meetings founded within the Welsh Tract.
Have you ever wondered if you are related to royalty? This work is both fun and interesting. It will be a welcome addition to the collection of anyone attempting to trace royal bloodlines. You may even discover that you are a descendent of royalty! The names of approximately 520 ladies appear at the front of this work, in alphabetical order by surname. All are members of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of Royal Descent, a prestigious social group, all members of which claim to be direct descendents of royalty. Eighty-five different pedigrees of royal descendents have been traced by the author and are included in this work. Sprinkled among the pedigrees are over 30 diagrams, which allow us to trace the royal lineage of the most prominent members of the Society of the Colonial Dames, the Order of the Crown. An addenda and a surname index enhance this work.
