Abstract:

Tales of Welsh-Speaking Indians recur in manuscript records and early accounts of the settlement of this country. The Welsh record of an expedition fitted out in 1162 by Prince Madoc is well known, and many accept he discovered America. The first report from America on the discovery of Welsh-Speaking Indians came from Rev. Morgan Jones who encountered them along the Pamlico River in eastern North Carolina.
