   THE CADWALADER FAMILY
   John Cadwalader was the first of his family to assume CADWALADER as the surname. He was the son of Cadwalader
   Thomas, the son of Thomas ap Hugh. Cadwalader Thomas had a brother John ap Thomas who prepared his own pedigree, in which he describes himself as John Thomas of Llaithgwm in the County of Merioneth, Gent, 1682. The Manuscript crossed the ocean with the first emigrants, and has been carefully preserved in the family for more than 200 years. A few years ago it was reproduced in the Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol. iv., p. 477-481.
   
   In the first part of the pedigree is traced the descent of John ap Thomas, 1682, from Marchweithian, 16 generations. Marchweithian was the eleventh of the 15 tribes or nobles of North Wales — the Lord of Is-Aled in Merionethshire. In the second part, the pedigree goes back to Adda and to Duw (God). ...
