Note: by Andrea Powell The following is from Le Roy Linn's book ^[1] When Wales started using surnames, the name Cadwal(l)ader was always a given name or first name, and it was not used as a surname until after the immigrants landed in America. Mothers in Wales often named their sons Cadwal(l)ader in honor of King Cadwaladr just as they named sons Arthur after the fabled King Arthur of ancient Welsh fame. That is the reason it is practically impossible to trace the Cadwal(l)ader lineage back in Wales with any certainty.

Lynn continues, stating the early Pennsylvania Cadwallader lines were ... from four heads of families who came to Philadelphia. All four were Friends [Quakers], all four had well defined descendants, all four admitted relationship, and may have been cousins:

• This John Calwallader of Horsham (Pennsylvania); from Montgomeryshire, Wales; later removed to Warminster
• Not to be confused with: John Cadwalader of Philadelphia, from Bala, Merionethshire, Wales
• Not to be confused with: John Cadwalader of Radnor (Pennsylvania); from Radnorshire, Wales
• Associated with: Robert Cadwallader who's descendants carry the surname Roberts; from Bala, Merionethshire, Wales
