Hello, I am researching William James Bevan who arrived in the US aged 4 years in abt 1796. We think he arrived in a South Carolina Port. I have surfed through Passenger lists that I can find online, but there seems to be a gap between the late 1790's and 1820. I could not find any lists for that period. Are there lists available? How common was it for emigrants form Wales to arrive in the Carolinas? What attracted them to that part of the US and not to ports further North such as NY,Boston etc.? Many thanks for all help given, Angharad Anglesey, North Wales
