Yes diane everyone over here knows that Welsh prince Madoc discovered America coming ashore I believe in Alabama
and didn't Thomas Jefferson believe there was a tribe of Native Americans descended from Madoc and his followers? Varina does look Celtic, my father's line were all dark skinned with straight black hair, as a young man he looked Italian or Spanish. I believe her maiden name was Howell or Howells? That's Welsh as is the spelling of her married name . The name Davies is common in Wales and the border area of England but with the Welsh alphabet and letter pronunciation being used the English sound of
v translates to the Welsh
f and so the name becomes
Dafis in Welsh then
Davis back in English.
