[edit] Welsh settlement in 1621 ??!
I've removed the statement that the first settlers were Welsh who arrived in 1621. This statement is documented coming from East Whiteland Twonship History.
Nevertheless, it must be wrong (or just a typo on the site). Welsh settlers arrived in the townships to the east around 1690-1700, having bought land from William Penn who got the land about 1685. The first European settlers in the general area were the Swedes who arived in Wilmington, Delaware in 1632. Maybe somebody should tell the township. Smallbones (talk) 23:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
