They are also Welsh in traits of character. Just as tens of thousands of Welsh folks, among the first settlers of New England and the American colonies are described in our histories as "English" people.

 with their wives and little ones rowed over in their coracles, from Gallia, or the Summer Land, to Britain, the Honey Land, they came first to the promontory which we know as Cornwall; that is, the Cornu Galliae, or Walliae, which means Horn or Cape of the new country now called England. Here was a new region, rich in every kind of minerals. Ages before, the Phoenicians had named it Britain or the Land of Tin. Within the memory of men now living, Cornishmen, that is, the miners of Cornwall, on going to California, discovered gold. In Cornwall, as part of the Cymric realm, King Arthur found and married Guinevere, his queen. It was in Cornwall, also, that Merlin was hidden. Hear the rhyme: Marvelous Merlin is wasted away By a wicked woman, who may she be? For she hath pent him in a crag On Cornwall coast. So it happens that thousands of "English" people in Cornwall are Welsh, by both name or descent, or have translated their names into English form, even while keeping the Welsh meaning. UT OF THE WAY AGES AGO WHEN THE COMIC MEN WITH THEIR WIVES AND LITTLE ONES RODE OVER IN THEIR CORACLES FROM GALIDAY OR THE SUMMER LAND TO BRITAIN THE HONEYLAND THEY CAME FIRST TO THE PROMONTORY WHICH WE KNOW AS CORNWALL THAT IS CORNU GALILEE OR WALLAIS WHICH MEANS HORN OR CAPE OF THE NEW COUNTRY NOW CALLED ENGLAND HERE WAS A NEW REGION RICH IN EVERY KIND OF MINERALS AGES BEFORE THE PHOENICIANS HAD NAMED IT BRITAIN OR THE LAND OF TIN WITHIN THE MEMORY OF MEN NOW LIVING CORNISHMEN THAT IS THE MINERS OF CORNWALL ON GOING TO CALIFORNIA DISCOVERED GOLD IN CORNWALL AS PART OF THE COMIC REALM KING ARTHUR FOUND AND MARRIED GUENEVERE HIS QUEEN IT WAS IN CORNWALL ALSO THAT MERLIN WAS HIDDEN HEAR THE RHYME MARVELOUS MERLIN IS WASTED AWAY BY A WICKED WOMAN WHO SHE MAY BE FOR SHE HATH PENT HIM IN A CRAG ON CORNWALL COAST SO IT HAPPENED THAT THOUSANDS OF ENGLISH PEOPLE IN CORNWALL ARE WELSH BY BOTH NAME OR DESCENT OR HAVING TRANSLATED THEIR NAME INTO ENGLISH FORM EVEN WHILE KEEPING THE WELSH MEANING
