Welsh Names in Germantown, Pennsylvania
Welsh names like Jenkins, Evans, Owen, Foulke, Griffith, Morgan, and Jones occur, with the township names of Brecknock, Caernarvon, Lampeter, Leacock (Lea as lay), and the counties of Chester, Gwynedd, and Tredyffrin. There seems to have been no fusion between Welsh and German, probably because the Welsh may have spoken English. Local names like Hanover, Heidelberg, and Manheim indicate where some of the early residents came from.
