FYI: Family Tree Magazine's Newsletter just mentioned several places where a person might find more information on ancestors with Welsh ancestry, especially those who immigrated first to the Welsh Tract of Pennsylvania (Also originally included parts of what is now Maryland and Delaware) and then later to the Pee Dee River area in South Carolina. Quakers were not the only initial setters. Later there were Baptists and Presbyterians. Many of the Welsh Neck Baptist group moved down to South Carolina and had a prosperous settlement. Family tradition states that the Frederick Pace was from Wales. This Pace group was first noted on the census in South Carolina and from around this area. And, Frederick Pace's children were members of Baptist congregations. So far, I have not found anything that indicates there were any Paces who came from the Welsh Tract area, but it is still a possibility. It could also be a clue for others of you who have allied lines who married into Welsh ancestry and came from this area. http://members.macconnect.com/users/d/dalex/html/beingwelsh-places.html Another source mentioned was the "History of the State of Delaware" by Henry Clay Conrad. It can also be found on Google Books. Plus, there are many more mentioned on their website: http://www.familytreemagazine.com/article/now-what-welsh-tract For a history on the Welsh Neck Baptist: http://www.darcosc.com/History/ http://www.archive.org/stream/ageneralhistory03benegoog/ageneralhistory03ben egoog_djvu.txt Kim Stracener Zapalac

The Maddock/Maddox Welsh list. I wrote a few times about the Welsh names of Shropshire, showing up in colonial Virginia. She was very interested and others, but some were not. The list seemed to fold up after she left running it. People wanted to shut out previous history, European origins, only interested in US. Descended to just two lines that went to Carolinas, a UK Maddock said. They had settled in a place where PACE was. I'd prepared a report but shelved it after much nastiness came about on that list, and now all but died. For sure, the Welsh spirit will not die out. Gord Pace

It might just be coincidence, but we've had TWO DNA submissions from the New Jersey lines that were thought to descend from the German NJ PACE's, that didn't match with the other German PACE DNA tests. Those mismatches could be from a faulty paper trail, an illegitimate birth, etc., but its also possible that one or both of them descend from Welsh PACE's in the area.
