The Dias ancestry in that area were Pennsylvania Dutch, as I am. His dad, my (great?) uncle Melvin, was part of a long list of Pennsylvania Dutch farmers who later turned to coal mining as the farms were bought up, that purchased land from William Penn in 1700. The now extinct town of Dias, PA bore witness to this fact. For "citation", please see https://clawsonfamily.com/Dias.pdf . You will find out about him, and his ancestry. Not cited, however, is the hispanic nature of the last name. It's assumed to originally be Portugese, but that claim has not been borne out. 136.35.13.50 (talk) 20:12, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
