I have found that a probable first cousin four times removed (!) emigrated with her husband to the mining town of Frostburg, Maryland in 1846. (Other members of my family, who I definitely know were related, also emigrated to the USA in this decade too, it appears on the same ship sailing from Bristol). When looking at the composition of the population of Frostburg a substantial number appear to have originated from the same area and South Wales. Not surprising considering the industry. But it may interest others to know that names like Gunter, Morgan, Williams, Vaughan, Vaughn crop up frequently among less familiar ones of German origin. The town is only small and appears to have a Welsh Church there still. The families appear to have stuck together though many married people of German origin too. I used to live in the United States, not far from there, and have asked my friends if they know anything more of the town and its people. I will keep you all posted if they do.
