Mary Jane: I looked. Just three of them, huh? !!!!!!!! Another news flash- the slave owners for London Britain township reads like a directory of Welsh (Old School) Baptists in the township. Jones, Evans, Davis, Whitten/Whitting. Now, I'm curious about my ancestors' environment. What kind of people were these? I know they owned alot of land, but so did the Quakers and Presbyterians immediately around them who owned alot of land!
