They served during a time of great popular excitement, and when the poor of this country suffered excessively from scarcity of food ; ocasioning them to assemble in a tumultuous manner in many parts of the country, and which were not unaptly denominated "Bread Riots." Demagogues and republicans were every where agitating the middle classes, manufacturers, and mechanics to disaffection and revolt.

Ancient Britons
As documented here and here we need to add to the Welsh contingent the "Ancient British Fencible Cavalry (North Wales). There are more details on this page, together with yet another, the Pembroke Troop of Fencible Cavalry. I'll leave this to someone with more competence than I have with the templates and tabulation.
