Item Description
Autographed The Welsh Hills by Janet P. Procida
Janet Philipps Procida is the author of "The Welsh Hill" written about the area north of Granville, Ohio, settled by Welsh families in the early 1800's. Janet is a direct descendant of the 2 founders of the Welsh Hills, Thomas Philipps and Theophilus Rees.
Book Description: In 1796, several Welsh families fled their homeland to start new lives in America. Theophilus Rees and Thomas Philipps are considered the founding fathers of the Welsh Hills. In 1801, after residing for a few years in Pennsylvania, Rees and Philipps purchased about 2,000 acres of land in Licking County, Ohio. This area is known as the Welsh Hills. Soon they were joined by other families with the last names Thomas, Lewis, James, Johnson, Griffiths, Evans, Jones, Davis, Williams, Owens, Price, King, Cramer, Shadwick, Pugh, White, and Hankinson. Their descendants still reside in and around the Welsh Hills. The Welsh Hills is predominately located in Granville and Newark townships, but a small portion is also located in McKean and Newton townships. This fertile land with hills and valleys and an abundance of timber and natural springs enticed these families to make their permanent home the Welsh Hills.
Author Bio: The author, Janet Philipps Procida, was born and raised near the Welsh Hills. She is a sixth-generation descendant of the founding families. The photographs gathered for this book are mostly from privately owned family collections. The Granville Historical Society offered photographic input and support in preparation for this book.
