14 For an early account of these towns, “where the Welchmen do abide,” see Richard Frame, “A Short Description of Pennsylvania,” in Myers, ed., Narratives of Pennsylvania, 304. Some of the Welsh names on Philadelphia’s “main line” were later picked by a railroad president. But Radnor, Haverford, Merion, Gwynedd, Bala and many others were named before 1695. Bryn Mawr was the home of Rowland Ellis; Berwyn was taken from the high country between Merioneth and Montgomery in Wales; see Browning, Welsh Settlement of Pennsylvania; J. J. Levick, “John Ap Thomas and His Friends,” PMHB 4 (1880), 301-28.
