Changes

<p>During the early 1800s, Welsh Americans viewed the abundance of land in Ohio as a godsend and hoped to make a stable life for themselves on the frontier. In 1802, Rees, Phillips, and other Welsh migrants to Ohio traveled down the Ohio River from Pennsylvania. Upon reaching the mouth of the Muskingum River, they traveled northward to Zanesville. Numerous other Welsh Americans followed them. Future migrants usually came along Zane's Trace. Eventually Rees, Phillips, and these other people moved to present-day Licking County, where they founded the community of Welsh Hills. Rees and his fellow Welsh migrants flourished in Ohio. He donated land for Granville, Ohio's Welsh Hills Cemetery in 1808. He died on February 16, 1814, and he was interred in the Welsh Hills Cemetery.</p>
