Many tribes lived in the Ozarks, including those that were indigenous to the area and those that were granted land after the Louisiana Purchase:
Indigenous tribes

The Osage and Quapaw were indigenous to the Oklahoma section of the Ozark Plateau. The Osage lived in villages and hunted, but also gathered plants from the forest, prairie, and river. They used these plants for food and medicine, and also made tools, rope, and string from wood, bark, animal bones, and sinew. The Quapaw lived in a small area in the southeastern Ozarks.

Tribes granted land after the Louisiana Purchase
After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the following tribes were granted land in the Ozarks:
Eastern Ozarks: Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Peoria, and Saukees

Western Ozarks: Pawnee, Osage, and Choctaw
Other tribes: Kickapoo, Cherokee, Delaware (Lenape), and Quapaw

Archaeologists have studied the Ozarks through burial mounds, pictographs, and campsites, but it can be difficult to determine tribal affiliations from the past because of the trauma of European contact and cultural changes over time.

I have found a Szczecin connection to the Griffin Family in Pennsylvania.

Orange Szczecin Colors.

When I first viewed the original map of the Welsh Tract, I only saw land allotments for the Griffiths, Evans and a few other notable Welsh Families.

This proves the Griffins who were originally from Gwynedd and eventually Migrated to Scotland Ireland and Germany were there.

WILLIAM PENN & THE PEOPLE A GWYNEED:

The Welsh Tract, also called the Welsh Barony, was a portion of the Province of Pennsylvania, a British colony in North America (today a U.S. state), settled largely by Welsh-speaking Quakers in the late 17th century. The region is located to the west of Philadelphia. The original settlers, led by John Roberts, negotiated with William Penn in 1684 to constitute the Tract as a separate county whose local government would use the Welsh language. The Barony was never formally created, but the many Welsh settlers gave their communities Welsh names that survive today. A more successful attempt at setting up a Gwladfa (Welsh-speaking colony) occurred two centuries later, in the Chubut Province of Patagonia, Argentina.

History

Thomas Holme's 1687 map of Pennsylvania. "The Welch Tract" appears to the left of center.
In the late 17th century, there was significant Welsh immigration to Pennsylvania for religious and cultural reasons. In about 1681, a group of Welsh Quakers met with William Penn to secure a land grant to conduct their affairs in their language. The parties agreed on a tract covering 40,000 acres (160 km2), to be constituted as a separate county whose people and government could conduct their affairs in Welsh.

Whereas divers considerable persons among ye Welsh Friends have requested me yt all ye Lands Purchased of me by those of North Wales and South Wales, together with ye adjacent counties to ym, as Haverfordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, about 40,000 acres, may be layd out contiguously as one Barony, alledging yt ye number allready come and suddenly to come, are such as will be capable of planting ye same much wth in ye proportion allowed by ye custom of ye country, & so not lye in large useless vacancies. And because I am inclined and determined to agree and favor ym wth any reasonable Conveniency and priviledge: I do hereby charge thee and strictly require thee to lay out ye sd tract of Land in as uniform a manner as conveniently may be, upon ye west side of Skoolkill river, running three miles upon ye same, & two miles backward, & then extend ye parallel wth ye river six miles and to run westwardly so far as this ye sd quantity of land be Compleatly surveyed unto you.—Given at Pennsbury, ye 13th Ist mo. [March] 1684.[1][2]

TRANSCRIPTION: The "y" is the old letter "thorn". It is read as "TH."

Whereas diverse considerable persons among the Welsh Friends have requested me that all the Lands Purchased of me by those of North Wales and South Wales, together with the adjacent counties to them, as Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, about forty-thousand acres, may be laid out contiguously as one Barony, alledging that the number already come and suddenly to come, are such as will be capable of planting the same much within the proportion allowed by the custom of the country, and so not lye in large useless vacancies. And because I am inclined and determined to agree and favor them with any reasonable Conveniency and privilege: I do hereby charge thee and strictly require thee to lay out the said tract of Land in as uniform a manner as conveniently may be, upon the west side of Schuylkill river, running three miles upon the same, and two miles backward, and then extend the parallel with the river six miles and to run westwardly so far as this the said quantity of land be Completely surveyed unto you.

— Given at Pennsbury, the 13th Ist mo. [March] 1684.
The Welsh Tract's boundaries were established in 1687, but notwithstanding the prior agreement, by the 1690s the land had already been partitioned among different counties, despite appeals from the Welsh settlers, and the Tract never gained self-government.

The Roberts and other Welsh families became influential in the area, through the building of mills and the eventual introduction of the railroad. It is the railroad that gives the best-known part of the area its current name, the Philadelphia Main Line, named after the mainline of the Pennsylvania Railroad, portions of which were absorbed into Conrail in 1976 (with Amtrak operating intercity passenger rail service from 1971, SEPTA operating commuter rail service from 1983, and Norfolk Southern acquiring Conrail's freight operations in 1997) as one of the principal rail lines running between Chicago, IL and the Eastern seaboard. After the American Civil War, 104 Welsh families from this region migrated to Knoxville, Tennessee, establishing a strong Welsh presence there.

As suburbanization spread westward from Philadelphia in the late 19th century (thanks to the railroads), living in a community with a Welsh name acquired a cachet. Some communities in the area formerly comprising the Welsh Tract were subsequently given Welsh or Welsh-sounding names to improve their perceived desirability. Among these were Gladwyne, formerly "Merion Square" (which was given its new name in 1891, although the name is meaningless in Welsh), and Bryn Mawr, formerly "Humphreysville" (which was renamed in 1869).

TODAY

The area is now part of Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties. Many towns in the area still bear Welsh names. Some, such as North Wales, Lower Gwynedd, Upper Gwynedd, Lower Merion, Upper Merion, Narberth, Bala Cynwyd, Radnor, Malvern, Berwyn, and Haverford Township, are named after places in Wales. Others, such as Tredyffrin and Uwchlan have independent Welsh names.

A second "Welsh Tract" of 30,000 acres (120 km2) was granted to Welsh emigrants by William Penn in 1701. It made up the modern Pencader Hundred, Delaware, and some of Cecil County, Maryland.

🧡💚 Not a claimant of Illegitimacy among the decedents of the Native Princes of Wales or King Edward VII.

I am however studying with the help of facial comparison of old photographs if weather or not my Grandfather Norman Griffin who's surname traces back to the Native Princes of Wales in Gwynedd and us are descendant of the Royal Clan of Native Princes of Wales due to Mulato complexion of my Great-Great Grandfather as described who raised my father by older relative.

It is my perception that he Descended from the Griffin Royal Duchy of Pomerania passed down from Frederick Ludwig he Roayal Griffin of Germany whose family would later intermarry with Charlotte giving birth to Afro-German Princes and Process etc. such as Princess Federica who was the daughter of George V, King of Hanover.

King Edward VII seems to be the member of the Griffin clan and Royal Family my father looked like to give me kind of an idea of what my Grandfather Norval/ Norman looked like.

My dad suffered a bulging in the right eye from stole. A sickness that can be broken off the Griffin Generation, the eye conditions are consistent with the German & Austrian Line as our eyes appear squinted and dark around them when we have a lack of rest in photos or in person.

There is partial blindness in several older family members.

I am however studying with the help of facial comparison of old photographs if weather or not my Grandfather Norman Griffin who's surname traces back to the Native Princes of Wales in Gwynedd was in fact a descendant of the Native Princes of Wales due to his Mullato complexion as described
by older relative.

It is my perception that he Descended from the Griffin Royal Duchy of Pomerania in Germany which birth out many Welsh Princes. Griffin DNA was passed down from Frederick the Roayal Griffin a.k.a Griff of Germany whose family would later intermarry with Charlotte's Irish-German Mecklenburg-Stirlz giving birth to an Afro-German Princes and Princesses, Dukes and Duchess.

King Edward VII seems to be the member of the Griffin clan and Royal Family that my father looked like the most which give me an idea of what my Grandfather Norval/ Norman historic clan features looked like.

Descendants of George III

Actually, King George V was not a grandson of George III. George V was the grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Queen Victoria was the granddaughter of George III, making George V the great-great-grandson of George III1. George III’s grandchildren included Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and King George V of Hanover, but not the British King George V1. It’s a common confusion due to the similar names and the complexity of royal family trees. If you’re interested in the lineage, I can provide more details about the descendants of George III and George V.
