My father's family started here in the New World by coming here with William Penn and settled near Philadelphia. He is buried at Christ Church. His family started out as Quakers, then a few brothers met some Southern women and became Babtist, the Quakers disowned them. They stayed there until the Civil War and they moved to Texas and joined the Texan war with the Spanish and That's where they stayed, some are still in Texas. My mother's family came from Wales in the early 1800's and migrated to Oklahoma during the land rush. My great-grandmother liked to tell us about her trip in a wagon train and the story about the family gold buried in Wales. In the 1960s my grandmother got a letter from England about the property there and would we like to reclaim it. She turned them down. I always wondered what it looked like.
