1 John Jones to Hugh Jones, n.d., ca. 1725, Myers, ed., Narratives of Pennsylvania, 454-55. This letter was first published in its original Welsh in Y Great V (1806), 210-14; it was reprinted with omissions in PMHB 14 (1890), 227-31.
The parents of John Jones came from Bala in North Wales to Pennsylvania in 1682. It is interesting to note that in the immigrant lists they are mistakenly identified as Londoners, for they boarded their ship in the metropolis and gave London as their place of origin. Here is more evidence of a London and Bristol bias in these documents.
