"Merion in the Welsh Tract" is a book I've long owned because
of my own Dr Thomas Wynne. He,and other Welsh Quakers,owned a big
tract due west of downtown Philadelphia from about 1680. Merion Station,
Penn
Wynn, Wynnewood, Bala-Cynwyd, Haverford, Bryn Mawr,and Gladwyne ,Pa on my
modern Rand-McNally map hint at it's location.
1698, the Quaker Roberts brought a colony of Welsh non Quakers to
Gwynedd,or North Wales. who settled north west of Philadelphia just south
of
the Bucks Co line. Vol 8,"Pa Mag of History and Biography"0 1884,is
source of a
10 page artical on GWYNEDD. My own was Edward Foulke. Those Welsh who
in 1703,settled the Pecander Hundred ,New Castle Co,Del Welsh Tract had
stopped
1st at GWYNEDD,and had ties to Pennypack and Southampton Baptist there.
And,1737,from the later,went the big colony to Welsh Neck,on the
Peedee,ne
SC.
I question Newark having a monthly meeting as early as 1686. I thought
the 1687
Burlington [NJ] Monthly Meeting where James Brown recorded his marriage
to
Honor Clayton,of the Pa-Del line,ws 1st Quaker Monthly Meeting,on the
Delaware.
