Benjamin Buttery and Jane Griffiths

I'm very excited we have a history buff and researcher in the family (he lives in Wales.) According to James' findings, we are half Welsh and half English.

William Buttery's (1789-1869) mother (Jane Griffiths) was Welsh. His father Benjamin (our Patriarch) is buried in St. Mary's Churchyard in Monmouth, Wales.

Thanks, James. Keep up the good work!

My visit to Swansea, Wales, in 1987 (or 88) was pretty much accidental. On the plane trip over to college in England, I sat with an American girl of the same age who was living in Wales. At one point in the school year, I jumped on the train and stayed with her for the weekend. She introduced me to Prawn chips!
