Kingroad Bristol on the ship "Bristol Comfort" 25 Jul 1683, reached Phila in
two months 28 Sep 1683. Geo Maris purchased 1000 acres.

[Futhey & Cope quote follows]
George and Alice MARIS of Worcestershire, England had the following
children: Alice b. 8,17,1660 [Oct]; George b. 10,2,1662 [Dec]; Elizabeth

meeting "att Hadwll In ye Pish of Inkborough and county of Worcester,"
which he presented to Darby Monthly Meeting.

Robert TOOMER, of the city of Worcester, having purchased 1000 acres of
land from William PENN, conveyed it by deed of May 14,1683 to George
Maris of Grafton, Flyford, shoemaker, the land being unlocated. Soon
after his arrival he took up 400 acres in Springfield which he called
"Home House," and settled theron. This was surveyed Oct. 16. 1683

in Edgmont, as part of the 1000 acres. In 1684 he was commisssioned a

130. James Lewis

James being the son of Lewis DAVID) [jcrinehart@worldnet.att.net]

The info I have on James LEWIS is from two different sources so may be
alright. 1) Justice [1925], The Descendants of Robert Taylor, gives James
LEWIS as the father of Susannah. 2)CD102, 1st Ed., Lineages' Library,
Automated Archives Inc [1994], file #179 GEDCOM # 1425, lists James LEWIS d.
1720, Pembrokeshire, S. Wales as father m. 1669, Sibles GRIFFITH, d. 1703,
Llandewi-Velfrey, S. Wales

Justice [1925] also states that James LEWIS was the son of Lewis DAVID
"Lewis David, gentleman, who purchased 3000 acres from William Penn, and
sold 1000 acres thereof to his friend Henry Lewis, Sr"

"HENRY LEWIS LEWIS DAVID and WILLIAM HOWELL, from General Meeting at
Redstone, in Pembrokshire, South Wales, dated 6 mo. 6, 1782. [typo - should be 1682 Irene Lewis Lawrie. Certificate was accepted by Philadelphia Monthly Meeting.
from Myers [1901], 3

"LEWIS DAVID, of par. of Llandewi Velfrey, co. Pemb., gentleman. He had
been severely persecuted as a Friend. Besse says 'they took from him all he
had in Llandewy; but he had houses and lands in Carmanthenshire.'
"He purchased 3000 a. al. in Penna. 1682, and soon after rmed. there
(about 1690). D. 1708. Fd.
"Wife _____.
"Children: 1. James (surname Lewis); 2. prob. Lewis. Others living
in Wales in 1708." [1911], repr. Genealogical Publishing, Balt. [1991], 2 vols in 1, 1:156>

132. Christopher Levis

BURIED: 11 Aug 1677 [Comley Family in America, Geo. Norwood Comley, 1939]

CHILDREN:(of Christopher and Mary)
a) Samuel, b 7-30-1649 m Elizabeth Clator
b) Mary b 3-8-1652 d 7-16-1664 (A reference is made
here to the Leicestershire Friends Records which
would reinforce your speculation that they were
Quakers)
c) Richard b 3-8-1654 d 4-23-1663
d) Sarah b 7-30-1663
e) Hannah b 7-30-1663

Following is from Edward Sinker - sinker@globalnet.co.uk
Church Lea, Bosbury, Herefordshire HR8 1PX
The information that I have on Samuel is the same as yours and comes
from "Comly Family in America...", it goes back to Christopher Levis
bpt. 1621.

Following is from Richard Schoeller - dick@bgs.com
I have information that takes the Levis line back to 1558. Beyond
that it is muddled. The Levis family in England were apparently
French nobles who had become Hugenots and fled to England. One
branch returned to Catholicism and reclaimed their lands in France.
Our branch stayed in England and some became Quakers. There is
evidence from the seals used by family members to connect these
branches, but it is not enough to establish what the connection is.

133. Mary Nede

MARRIAGE: (after death of Christopher) to Thomas Wright, 1680

PARENTS:
Humphrey & Dorothy Need, b. 15 Aug 1590, d. 8 Nov 1668

134. William Clator

If this is the Wm Clayton of Yorks 1625? (his father was Sir Thomas Clayton
b. 1598, mother Mary Thompson).

136. William Evan

Why the parents with diff surname??

152. Nicholas Newland

Perhaps died end of May (other record gives May as dod).

BIRTH: Accdg to Margaret Meade Goss Hammond's chart he was bn 1620, Quaker in
Mountmellick Tyrone Ireland; arrived Concord PA 1683.

The first documented Newlin (as opposed to Newland) was Nicholas Newlin of
Mountmellick, Ireland. He was born ~1620 and died ~1699. He married Eliz'th
Paggot (~1625-1717) and they lived in Mountmellick or Rosenalis, County Queens
(later renamed to Leix or Laois County) until 1683 when they emigrated to the
U.S. "Nicholas' lineage is unknown." -newlin@hpfcma.fc.hp.com (Doug Newlin)
Nicholas (Sr.) and his wife and three children (Nathaniel, John & Rachel) left
Ireland for America in 1683. They landed in Chester County (Concord) PA.
Nicholas Jr. and Elizabeth did not accompany them to America. [Doug Newlin]

154. Thomas Asbury Mendenhall

RESIDENCE: The Mendenhalls came from Marriage Hill, Ramsbury, Little Bedwyn,
Greater Bedwyn and Mildenhall, Wiltshire, England. All of these little
communities are within 5 miles of each other and they are west of London
about 60-70 miles and the port of Bristol is another 60 miles west.
dean@svpal.org (William D. Leonard)

From: "William D. Leonard"
From the best sources that I know of the father of Thomas Mendenhall (who
married Joane Strode) is not Francis as many references show, rather it
is Thomas Mendenhall. Francis was probably an uncle.
-Dean dean@svpal.org (William D. Leonard)

Thomas (II) and Joane Strode (b. 00/00/1634 d. 00/00/1682)
and Esther Maddock Dicks had 10 children:

155. Joan Stroads

is Joan really in this family? I'd like some more confirmation.

176. David Kinsey

Rufus Jones cites the Kinsey family as one of the prominent NJ Quaker families.
David was carpenter, of Nantmeal, Radnor, Wales. [Chapt IV of A Family History, by Martha Jane Humphries]

Ross Kenzie says David was probably a son of John Kinsey, althought the
relationship has not definitely been established.

In Phila, a John Kinsey was clrk of Yrly Mtg, & elected 1739 to Spkrship of the colonial assmbly. This John Kinsey d. 1750

177. "Mrs." Magdalen Kinsey

After the death of David Kinsey (1687), Magdalen, his widow, married, secondly
Howell James, widow of Radnor Twp. The marriage took place at the house of
David Price under the auspices of the Radnor Monthly Meeting.

184. Yeamons Gillingham

According to Hallowell-Paul genealogy, "Yeamans Gillingham, a native
of the southern part of England, came to Pennsylvania prior to 1696. He
purchased one hundred acres of land in Oxford Township near to the
plantation of Joseph Paul, senior, and was an overseer of Abington
Monthly Meeting."

"...September 10, 1685 [Joseph Paull] secured a deed from his old friend
Edward Blinman for a one-quarter interest in the latter's thousand acres
in Pennsylvania, and made immediate preparations for a journey across
the ocean. ... By what ship we do not know, but it is likely to have
been the 'Unicorn,' Thomas Cooper, master, sailing from Bristol, which
reached Philadelphia December 26, 1685; for this vessel carried among
others the Broadwell family, of whom the daughter Mary was married to
Yeamans Gillingham, whose daughter Ann married Henry Paull (Pennsylvania
Magazine, Vol. 8, page 338). ..." pages 16-17, from Henry N.
Paul's "Joseph Paull of Ilminster, Somerset, England, and some of his
descendants who have resided in Philadelphia, Penna." This is a
Higginson Book Company photoreproduction of a 1933 publication.

190. John Towne

Watring-Wright's Bucks County church records include this
family on p. 219, taken from Middletown Monthly Meeting records:

"Children of John and Deborah (Booth) Town: Benjamin Town b. 4th day of
7th month, 1692; Sarah Town b. 22nd day of 11th month, 1693; Timothy
Town b. 10th day of 2nd month, 1696; Hannah Town b. 28th day of 6th
month, 1698; John Town b. 1st day of 8th month, 1700; Deborah Town b.
1st day of 10th month, 1702.

"John Town was bur. 2nd day of 6th month, 1702.
"Deborah Town was bur. 3rd day of 9th month, 1715."

Battle's history of Bucks County -- page 922 has article about Geo Warner, Jr.
"On both sides he traces his ancestry to Benjamin Taylor, a native of this
county, whose father was one of the English Friends who came here in the
latter half of the 17th century, Of the date of Benjamin Taylor's birth
there is no record, but he was married to Hannah Towne in 1719. ..."

Battle has a whole slew of articles on various TAYLORs, including David,
David H., Benjamin F., Charles S., Joseph C., which I've not taken time
to check but could copy if you like. There are over 100 TAYLORs
indexed...
