Thomas Jefferson (Welsh descent)

Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, was of Welsh descent through his ancestors, who migrated from Wales to America. His Welsh heritage is part of his broader European ancestry, which influenced his cultural background. Jefferson is best known for drafting the Declaration of Independence, promoting liberty, education, and republicanism. While his Welsh roots are modest details in his genealogy, they connect him to the rich history of Welsh migration to America and contribute to the diverse tapestry of early American colonial families.
