“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her
name
Mother of Exiles.”🗽

The Reverend Morgan Jones told Thomas Lloyd, William Penn's deputy, he had been captured in 1669 in North Carolina by members of a tribe identified as the Doeg, who were said to be a part of the Tuscarora.
There is no evidence the Doeg proper were part of the Tuscarora. [32] According to Jones, the chief spared his life when he heard Jones speak Welsh, which he understood. Jones' report says he lived for several months with the Doeg, preaching the Gospel in Welsh, and then returned to the British Colonies, where he recorded his adventure in 1686 in a letter originally sent to Lloyd which after passing through other hands was printed in The Gentleman's Magazine by Theophilus Evans, Vicar of St David's in Brecon. [33] This launched a slew of publications on the subject. [citation needed The historian Gwyn A. Williams commented: "This is a complete farrago and may have been intended as a hoax". [34]
Thomas Jefferson had heard of Welsh-speaking Indian tribes. In a letter written to Meriwether Lewis on 22 January 1804, Jefferson wrote of searching for the Welsh Indians who were "said to be up the Missouri". [35][36] The historian Stephen E. Ambrose wrote in his history book Undaunted Courage Jefferson believed the "Madoc story" to be true, and instructed the Lewis and Clark Expedition to find the descendants of the Madoc Welsh Indians. Neither they nor John Evans found any. [37][38][39]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ef336yiokx3lj2mphab3wimm/bafkreibgtvbdfd5jvaf7t23ch3brk7eucmcqazfj3el4dgcrarjprz7syi@jpeg)
