"US05..SO4...?

Without going into a long story (very long and very involuted, decidely OT, though happy to do so elsewhere)

American Ale yeasts almost certainly arose from English yeasts (talking 1970's not 1770's).
US05/1056/WLP001/Chico Strain first used by Sierra Nevada may have come one the few ales made in America at the time, Ballantines ( a favorite of HST, though of course indulging in too many of HST's favorites may cause mileage problems).
The origin of Ballantines yeast....almost certainly English."
