Why is there a such high volume of Welsh surnames among African-Americans?

Evans, Jones, Owens, Thomas, Roberts, Hughes, Griffith, Perkins, Powell, Jenkins, Williams are all quite common last names in the African-American community. Why is this? I know many black slaves were given the surnames of their owners but I don’t believe there was a high percentage of Welch that were slave owners. Or am I wrong?
