3 CONT
3 CONT "TOMORROW IS TODAY'S DREAM"
3 CONT
3 CONT On August 28, 2004, Lucie Estelle L'Hommedieu Griffith passed quietly
3 CONC away at home in Murrieta, California. She died as she lived, with
3 CONC dignity and personal independence, true to her life motto, "Tomorrow
3 CONC is today's dream." She was 94.
3 CONT
3 CONT Lucie, known as Lucile in her later years, was born August 12, 1910,
3 CONC Turtle Creek, PA, and when only 3 weeks old, she had her first
3 CONC adventure, traveling across the country by train with her parents to
3 CONC the San Francisco Bay area. Here she grew up and began her life long
3 CONC love of California, her beloved Yosemite and Big Basin, camping and
3 CONC nature. Lucie graduated with highest honors from the University of
3 CONC California, Berkeley, with a degree in economics and personnel
3 CONC administration, (she later attended Boston University, University of
3 CONC Pittsburgh, and The New School in New York City, earning Masters in
3 CONC philosophy and psychology). It was the first year of the Great
3 CONC Depression after graduation from Berkeley and she often laughed that
3 CONC she got her first post graduation job in a department store credit
3 CONC department, not because of her education, but because she could type.
3 CONC Lucie had begun her working career at the age of 14, giving violin
3 CONC lessons for 50 cents a lesson and had paid for her college expenses
3 CONC reading to the blind and working as a playground supervisor and tennis
3 CONC instructor.
3 CONT
3 CONT In 1935, Lucie used a small inheritance from her Grandmother to
3 CONC finance a trip "back East" to visit with her Mother's family in
3 CONC Pittsburgh, PA. Just prior to her marriage in 1938 to Edgar Marshall
3 CONC Griffith, who she met shortly after arriving in Pittsburgh, she came
3 CONC to national prominence, as a ground breaker for women, when a business
3 CONC essay she wrote as part of a contest conducted by Forbes Magazine, was
3 CONC selected over 758 other entrants, all male. Her arrival in New York
3 CONC City to receive her award and expenses paid week in the city was met
3 CONC with much hand wringing as the Forbes Magazine men discovered her
3 CONC gender for the first time and tried to decided what to do with a woman
3 CONC contest winner. The CEO of the company, Mr. Forbes himself, put a stop
3 CONC to the grumbling and made a public statement that "woman or not, she
3 CONC was proof of the best and brightest and would get her prize and the
3 CONC national recognition she so well deserves."
3 CONT
3 CONT  After her marriage in November, 1938, she and her new husband,
3 CONC Marshall, set up housekeeping in Johnstown, PA where Marshall was the
3 CONC project manager for the flood wall project underway in a city famous
3 CONC for its devastating floods. It took Lucie less than six months to
3 CONC begin making her mark as a volunteer leader, trainer, board member,
3 CONC vice president, executive trainer and president Girl Scouts of the
3 CONC U.S.A. in Johnstown. She was also a board member for the Cambria City
3 CONC Mission, the Johnstown Symphony Auxiliary, Johnstown Youth Association
3 CONC all while finding time to play the violin in the Johnstown Symphony
3 CONC Orchestra. In 1945, she took a year off to have her only child, Sara
3 CONC Leslie Griffith, and worked hard at bringing scouting to the small
3 CONC mining towns that dotted the landscape in and around Cambria County.
3 CONC Lucie fought prejudice all her life and she always felt her crowning
3 CONC achievement was establishing the first troop for African American
3 CONC young girls. She became the Executive Director of the Johnstown Girl
3 CONC Scout Council in 1951. In 1961, now a young widow, she became the
3 CONC Executive Director of the Buffalo and Erie County Girl Scout Council,
3 CONC NY. In 1966, she was tapped to head the Bureau of Wages and Standards
3 CONC at National Headquarters in New York City. She left New York to begin
3 CONC her quest to return to California with a stop as Executive Director of
3 CONC the Northwest Cook County, Illinois council from 1968-1970 and in 1970
3 CONC she joined the Spanish Trails Girl Scout Council, Pomona, California.
3 CONC After her retirement in 1975, she returned to scouting as the Interim
3 CONC Director, Two Rivers G.S. Council in Quincy, Illinois until they could
3 CONC hire a permanent director.
3 CONT
3 CONT She continued her public service as a Member of the Quota Club, the
3 CONC Century Club of Buffalo, NY, charter member of the NAACP and active
3 CONC civil rights worker, the American Association of University Women, the
3 CONC Buffalo Philharmonic Auxiliary, as a volunteer for alcohol
3 CONC rehabilitation programs, a member of the Society of Personnel Women
3 CONC and member and officer of the Des Plaines and Pomona Soroptomist
3 CONC Clubs. She was a member and officer of the Chino Art Association, she
3 CONC recorded text books for the blind at the Claremont Center and
3 CONC volunteered for the California Literacy Campaign through the Chino
3 CONC Library, teaching adults to read. In retirement, she worked as a
3 CONC census enumerator and during tax season, as a preparer for H&R Block.
3 CONT
3 CONT Lucie's retirement years were ones spent traveling with her daughter
3 CONC and friends, visiting her family, playing bridge, painting, loving the
3 CONC computer age, and staying active. When Ronald Reagan was elected
3 CONC President, she took it as a personal challenge (they were the same
3 CONC age), and vowed, "if he can be that active, so can I." Her words
3 CONC during the week long Reagan funeral were, "I won!"
3 CONT
3 CONT Lucie is survived by her Daughter, Sara Leslie Griffith of Murrieta,
3 CONC CA, Grandson David Marshall Jacoby and his partner Penny of Murrieta,
3 CONC CA, Granddaughter Victoria Huggins and Greatgranddaughter, Jessica
3 CONC (age 13) of Kissimmee, FL, Nephew Robert L'Hommedieu of Placentia, CA,

2 CONC was John
2 CONT Griffith and my mother Amy Morgan of Radnor, Wales. Father and Mother
2 CONC were
2 CONT Quakers, Mother first to adopt faith. In 1726 my brother [Thomas] and
2 CONC myself
2 CONT embarked at Milford Haven on board the Constantine galley of Bristol,
2 CONC Edward
2 CONT Foy, Master. Our uncle, John Morgan, who lived about 12 miles from the
2 CONC city of
2 CONT Philadelphia came on board and conducted us to his house where I
2 CONC continued for
2 CONT some time. My brother [Thomas] being a weaver settled at my Aunt Mary
2 CONT Pennell's, following his trade.
2 CONT
2 CONT The children of John and Amy Griffith on the ship were: Thomas, 18
2 CONC years; John,
2 CONT 14 years; and Martha, 8 years. These children were met by their
2 CONC uncles, John
2 CONT Morgan, Hugh Morgan and Aunt Mary Morgan Pennel, who lived at Radnor,
2 CONC then
2 CONT Haverford, then Abington (Pennsylvania). Thomas Griffith went home
2 CONC with his
2 CONT Aunt to Abington, then to Sadsbury. [Milford Haven was in County
2 CONC Pembroke,
2 CONT Wales.]
2 CONT
2 CONT 26 April 1727 Thomas Griffith appeared before the Chester Monthly
2 CONC Meeting,
2 CONT Chester County, PA and produced a Certificate of Removal from the
2 CONC Talcoed
2 CONT Monthly Meeting in Radnorshire, Wales.  After the Certificate was
2 CONC recorded at

2 CONC Meeting
2 CONT to serve as a recommendation for Thomas' brother, John Griffith.
2 CONT
2 CONT The Certificate has been preserved and a copy was found on file at

2 CONT Historical Library at Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA. It reads as
2 CONC follows:

2 CONC 10th of
2 CONT the 4th month 1726. (Since the Quaker Calendar year began in March,
2 CONC the 4th
2 CONT month would be June.)
2 CONT
2 CONT From 1727 until 1738 we find no record of Thomas Griffith in the
2 CONC Quaker
2 CONT records. We can only assume that he was busy learning his craft as a
2 CONC weaver,
2 CONT and perhaps building himself a home or preparing for the day he would
2 CONC be
2 CONT married and have a family. But typical of many young bachelor men,
2 CONC even, it
2 CONT would seem, conservative Quaker young men, Thomas gets himself in some
2 CONC trouble
2 CONT with the Society. We find the following references to him in the
2 CONC Sadsbury
2 CONT Monthly Meeting records:
2 CONT
2 CONT 5, 1st mo. 1738: "This meeting being informed that Thomas Griffith
2 CONC hath of late
2 CONT been at a shooting match and there did quarrel and fight, Anthony Shaw
2 CONC and
2 CONT Jonas Chamberlain are desired to treat with him in order to bring home
2 CONC to a
2 CONT sense of his misdoing, and return an account to next Meeting where he
2 CONC is
2 CONT desired to appear."
2 CONT
2 CONT 1, 3d mo. 1738: "At a Monthly Meeting of Sadsbury held at
2 CONC Leacock...the
2 CONT representatives being called all appeared. The Friends appointed last
2 CONC meeting
2 CONT to treat with Thos. Griffith not having as yet an opportunity with him
2 CONC are
2 CONT continued and to report to next Meeting."
2 CONT
2 CONT 5, 4th mo. 1738: "At a Monthly Meeting of Sadsbury at
2 CONC Sadsbury...Thomas
2 CONT Griffith produced a paper to this meeting expressing his sorrow for
2 CONC striking a
2 CONT man at a shooting match as mentioned before which paper is accepted as
2 CONT Satisfaction and Anthony Shaw is desired to read it in a First Days
2 CONC Meeting at
2 CONT Sadsbury and return it to next Meeting..."
2 CONT
2 CONT After the satisfactory conclusion to the above events, Thomas again
2 CONC disappears
2 CONT from the records of Sadsbury until four years later we find:
2 CONT
2 CONT 4, 7th mo. 1742: "Thomas Griffith produced a paper of condemnation
2 CONC setting
2 CONT forth his sorrow for his outgoing in marriage, desiring Friends to
2 CONC continue him
2 CONT under their care, which was received, and Anthony Shaw is appointed to
2 CONC read it
2 CONT in a First-Day Meeting at Sadsbury."
2 CONT
2 CONT [NOTE: Marrying "out" or "out of unity" means one of the parties to
2 CONC the
2 CONT marriage was not a Quaker and a reason for "disownment." To be
2 CONC disowned meant
2 CONT you could not actively particpate in meetings or be part of the Quaker
2 CONT community; a sad state of affairs in these early years when the
2 CONC majority of the
2 CONT community were members of the Society of Friends. A member could
2 CONC "acknowledge"
2 CONT the wrong doing by publicly repenting the error and once this had been
2 CONC done,
2 CONT the member would be welcomed back into the group as if the offense had
2 CONC not
2 CONT happened. All "condemnations" or "complaints" were recorded in the
2 CONC minutes, as
2 CONT well as the steps taken to bring the member to repentance and
2 CONC acknowledgement.]
2 CONT
2 CONT [NOTE: A marriage "out of unity" is different from a "marriage
2 CONC contrary to
2 CONT discipline." The latter was a more serious offense as it meant
2 CONC marriage by a
2 CONT "hireling teacher" or "marriage by a priest." Priest in the Quaker
2 CONC records
2 CONT means a minister of any other religion; hireling teacher usually meant
2 CONC a
2 CONT Justice of the Peace or Civil marriage of some kind.]
2 CONT
2 CONT 6, 7th mo. 1742: At the Monthly Meeting of Sadsbury held at Leacock
2 CONC "The Friend
2 CONT appointed to read Tho. Griffith's paper reports he hath performed that
2 CONT Service."
2 CONT
2 CONT It is apparent that remaining within the Society was important to
2 CONC Thomas,
2 CONT although he does not appear to have taken any active role within the
2 CONC Sadsbury
2 CONT meeting as it is 16 long years before we hear of him again. On page 90
2 CONC of the
2 CONT Sadsbury minutes we find that "Thos. Griffith requests our certificate
2 CONC to
2 CONT Warrington Monthly Meeting..."
2 CONT
2 CONT 6, 5th mo. 1758:  "The Friends appointed to prepare a certificate for
2 CONC Thomas
2 CONT Griffith produced one here, which was approved and signed."
2 CONT
2 CONT The next record of the Thomas Griffith family appears in the
2 CONC Warrington Monthly
2 CONT Meeting records when Thomas' wife, Eve, finally joins the Society of
2 CONC Friends.
2 CONT
2 CONT 3-18-1758:  "Eve Griffith requests at this Meeting to be received into
2 CONT membership, which after consideration is granted."
2 CONT
2 CONT 8-19-1758:  Thomas Griffith produced a certificate from Sadsbury
2 CONC Monthly
2 CONT Meeting dated 6-5-1758, which was read and accepted.
2 CONT
2 CONT Unfortunately, the end of the Thomas Griffith story is a rather
2 CONC unhappy one.
2 CONT For whatever reason, perhaps poor health, Thomas apparently began to
2 CONC drink to
2 CONT excess in the last couple of years before his death. The following
2 CONC entries in
2 CONT the Menallen Preparative Meeting Minutes tell the tale of a man who,
2 CONC it would
2 CONT appear, was trying very hard to stay "in unity" with Friends, but lost
2 CONC the
2 CONT battle. At the same time as the members of Menallen were "treating"
2 CONC with
2 CONT Thomas, they were also "treating" with his sister-in-law, Martha
2 CONC Faulkner (wife
2 CONT of Jesse) for the same problems. (For a comparison of the two cases,
2 CONC see
2 CONT Appendix, "The Descendants of Thomas Faulkner" section, Jesse
2 CONC Faulkner/Martha
2 CONT Smith.)
2 CONT
2 CONT 9th of 8th mo. 1766: "Menallen Meeting informs that Thomas Griffith
2 CONC hath been
2 CONT guilty of drinking spiritous liquor to excess. John Griest and Jacob
2 CONC Beals are
2 CONT appointed to Labour with him to convince him of the evil of his ways
2 CONC and
2 CONT reclaim him from that pernicious practice and report to next meeting."
2 CONT
2 CONT 13th of 9th mo. 1766: "The friends appointed to treat with Thomas
2 CONC Griffith
2 CONT reports they have had a middling satisfactory opportunity with him and
2 CONC that he
2 CONT desired to be waited with for some time. John Hammond and William
2 CONC Hutton are
2 CONT appointed to inform him that he is waited with until next meeting and
2 CONC report to
2 CONT next meeting."
2 CONT
2 CONT 11th of 10th mo. 1766: "The friends appointed to inform Thomas
2 CONC Griffith that he
2 CONT was waited with, reports they have and that he desired to be waited
2 CONC with
2 CONT another month. John Wright and George Wilson are appointed to treat
2 CONC with him
2 CONT again and report to next meeting."
2 CONT
2 CONT 8th of 11th mo. 1766: "The friends appointed to treat with Thomas

2 CONT
2 CONT 13th of 13th mo. 1766: "The friends appointed to prepare a testimony
2 CONC against
2 CONT Thomas Griffith are continued for that service."
2 CONT
2 CONT 10th of 1st mo. 1767: "The friends appointed to prepare a testimony
2 CONC against
2 CONT Thomas Griffith sent one to this meeting which is as follows viz:
2 CONC Whereas
2 CONT Thomas Griffith having had his education amongst us the People called
2 CONC Quakers
2 CONT but for want of a faithful adherence to the guidance of the unerring
2 CONC Spirit of
2 CONT truth gave way so far to a libertine Spirit as to be guilty of taking
2 CONC strong
2 CONT liquor to excess divers times and notwithstanding the great labours of
2 CONC Love
2 CONT bestowed upon him in order for his Restoration he too often persists
2 CONC in his
2 CONT Evil practice, which all such Evil practices we testifie against and
2 CONC deny him
2 CONT the said Thomas Griffith to be a member of our Religious Society until
2 CONC he comes
2 CONT to see his misconduct and make satisfaction for his outgoing which
2 CONC that he may
2 CONT is our desire. Which was approved and signed on behalf of this meeting
2 CONC by the
2 CONT clerk but he requesting to be waited with until next meeting the
2 CONC publishing of
2 CONT it is deferred until then and John Hammond and Benjamin Wright are
2 CONC appointed to
2 CONT inform him and report to next meeting." (NOTE: John Hammond was
2 CONC Thomas'
2 CONT son-in-law.)"
2 CONT
2 CONT 7th of 2nd mo. 1767: "Menallen Meeting informs that Thomas Griffith
2 CONC was
2 CONT desirous of attending this meeting to condemn his misconduct but they
2 CONC thought
2 CONT it best to wait some time to prove his sincerity. John Wright and
2 CONC George Wilson
2 CONT are appointed to let him know he is waited with another month."
2 CONT
2 CONT 14th of 3rd mo. 1767: "The friends appointed to inform Thomas Griffith
2 CONC he was
2 CONT waited with reports they did but it appears necessary to publish the
2 CONC testimony
2 CONT against him as his conduct is not amended, therefore John Blackburn
2 CONC and John
2 CONT Wright are appointed to show it to him, give him a copy if desired
2 CONC with notice
2 CONT of the privledge of an appeal which if he decline then John Blackburn
2 CONC to read
2 CONT it in public meeting at Manallen and return it to next meeting."
2 CONT
2 CONT 11th of 4th mo. 1767: "The friend appointed to read the testimony
2 CONC against
2 CONT Thomas Griffith reports he did and returned it to this meeting."
2 CONT
2 CONT This is the last Thomas is mentioned in any Quaker records that we
2 CONC know about
2 CONT at this time and it was less than two short years later that he died
2 CONC in 1769.
2 CONT After reading many Quaker records where similar problems are "treated"
2 CONC with, it
2 CONT seems that Thomas' case was just a bit different. In other cases,
2 CONC Martha
2 CONT Faulkner's, for example, there was a history of drinking problems for
2 CONC many
2 CONT years before action was finally taken to this extent. We have found no
2 CONC prior
2 CONT history in Thomas' case. In Thomas' case the use of the phrase
2 CONC "reclaim him" is
2 CONT different than other cases where the term "bring them to a sense of
2 CONC their evil"
2 CONT is used. Also, other cases mention that the person does "not have the
2 CONC capacity"
2 CONT to condemn themselves, whereas this is not mentioned in Thomas' case
2 CONC and his
2 CONT seems to be a case of overindulgence "divers times" not habituation.
2 CONT
2 CONT Thomas Griffith is buried at Friends Grove, "Old Menallen" (Center
2 CONC Mills Road
2 CONT off Route 234, Adams County, PA). His grave is marked by a simple
2 CONC field stone
2 CONT typical of early Quaker cemeteries and the stone bears the markings
2 CONC "T.G. 1769"
2 CONT scratched into the surface of the stone. His exact date of death is
2 CONC unkown.

2 CONT Griffith.
2 CONT
2 CONT !ADMINISTRATION: Orphans' Court of York County, Docket B, 223, 224.
2 CONT On 5-31-1769, Mary, aged 18, and Rebecca, upwards of 14 years,
2 CONC daughters of
2 CONT Thomas, late of Menallen, choose their mother, Eve, and Jesse Faulkner
2 CONC as
2 CONT guardians.  On the same date:  "On petition of Eve Griffith, the court
2 CONC appoints
2 CONT Nicholas Wireman (Weirman) of Huntingdon and Jesse Faulkner of
2 CONC Menallen for her
2 CONT children Eve, Thomas, Ann, and Jesse, all under 14 years.  William

2 CONT
2 CONT A final report on the estate of Thomas Griffith was made eight years
2 CONC later by
2 CONT Eve Griffith and son William Griffith, administrators of the estate:
2 CONC "May 29,
2 CONT 1777, came into court William Griffith and Eve Griffith,
2 CONC administrators of
2 CONT goods of Thomas Griffith, dec., and produced their administration
2 CONC account of
2 CONT the estate of the Deceased as settled by the Register of this county
2 CONC whereby
2 CONT there appears to be a balance in the hands of the said administrators
2 CONC of 317
2 CONT pounds, four shillings and nine pence whereof the court opposes and it
2 CONT appearing to the Court that John Griffith, one of the persons of the
2 CONC said
2 CONT deceased, Thomas Blackburn and Elizabeth, his wife, one of the
2 CONC daughters of the
2 CONT said deceased had both been advanced by the said Intestate in his
2 CONC lifetime more
2 CONT than their distribution or distributive shares of said estate and that
2 CONC Jonathan
2 CONT Wright and Susannah his wife another of the daughters of the said
2 CONC deceased had
2 CONT received in the lifetime of the said Intestate 16 pounds and 14
2 CONC shillings and 3
2 CONT pence and that the said William Griffith had also received in the life
2 CONC time of
2 CONT the said Intestate the sum of 56 pounds, which sums added to the said
2 CONC balance
2 CONT makes in all 369 Pounds 19 shillings."
2 CONT
2 CONT "Whereupon the Court ordered the said Intestate's widow retain in her
2 CONC hands 129
2 CONT pounds, 15 shillings and 5 pence her share of the said balance as
2 CONC widow; and
2 CONT the said William Griffith retain in his hands 1 pound, 11 shillings
2 CONC and 4 pence
2 CONT which with the said sum of 56 pounds, which he has already received is
2 CONC in
2 CONT full of his two shares as eldest son, and the administrators pay unto
2 CONC Jonathan
2 CONT Wright and Susannah his wife 12 pounds 1 shilling and 5 pence, which
2 CONC is in full
2 CONT for her share of said balance; that they pay Anthony Blackburn and
2 CONC Mary his
2 CONT wife another of the daughters of the said Intestate the sum of 28
2 CONC pounds, 15
2 CONT shillings and 8 pence in full for her share of the said balance and
2 CONC that they
2 CONT also pay unto Rebecca, Eve, Thomas, Ann, Jesse Griffith all children
2 CONC of the
2 CONT deceased each the sum of 28 pounds 15 shillings 8 pence in full of
2 CONC their shares
2 CONT in the balance which with the cost of this Court is the full amount of
2 CONC the said
2 CONT Personal estate."  (York County, PA, Orphans Court Docket, Book C,
2 CONC pages
2 CONT 16-17.) [The use of the word "Intestate" in the foregoing is a
2 CONC misnomer, as a
2 CONT will for Thomas Griffith was registered on 5-13-1769 in York County,
2 CONC PA.]
2 CONT
2 CONT [NOTE: On page 355 of IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS. 1682-1750 by
2 CONC Albert Cook
2 CONT Myers, 1902, the author says that Thomas Griffith who married Eve may
2 CONC have been
2 CONT the son of John Griffith, who had a son Christopher, from Grange,
2 CONC Ireland, near
2 CONT Charlemont. (Sadsbury Mtg.) This supposition of the author is
2 CONC incorrect. Thomas
2 CONT Griffith, as stated above was the son of John and Mary Morgan Griffith
2 CONC of

1 NOTE !OCCUPATION: Quaker Minister; in England he was listed as a wool and
2 CONC linen
2 CONT draper.
2 CONT
2 CONT !BIOGRAPHICAL: John writes in his "Journal": "When I was about the age
2 CONC of
2 CONT thirteen years, a Friend who had lived some time in Pennsylvania,
2 CONC being in our
2 CONT parts, and frequently at our house, gave a very pleasing account of
2 CONC that
2 CONT country. I haveing two uncles and one aunt there, some of whom had
2 CONC before
2 CONT written to encourage our going over thither, my inclination grew very
2 CONC strong to
2 CONT go; though my parents, especially my father, was at first very much
2 CONC against it.
2 CONT But I was as one imoveably bent for going; which, when my parents saw,
2 CONC and that
2 CONT an elder brother inclined to go with me, they at length consented
2 CONC thereto, and
2 CONT procured a certificate of our being in unity with Friends." (See copy
2 CONC of
2 CONT Certificate under 3-Thomas Griffith.)
2 CONT
2 CONT John continues, "There being a family of Friends living in the compass
2 CONC of our
2 CONT Monthly Meeting, also going over in the same ship, we were delivered
2 CONC under
2 CONT their care;...We had a passage of about eight weeks from land to land.
2 CONC We were
2 CONT about eighty or ninety passengers, generally healthy, amongst whom
2 CONC three
2 CONT children were born whilst on board, and none of us removed by death."
2 CONT
2 CONT John remininces rather sadly, "my mother, as I remember, was educated
2 CONC in
2 CONT Society with the people called Quakers, and a steady and valuable
2 CONC Friend she
2 CONT was...My father, as I have heard him relate, was convinced...after he
2 CONC arrived
2 CONT to man's estate and found it a great cross to join in society with the
2 CONC despised
2 CONT Quakers; he being the only one in the family, which was pretty large,
2 CONC that
2 CONT joined in society with that people....[he eventually became] a truly
2 CONC living
2 CONT minister...as I well remember, though I left him when I was young [age
2 CONC 14], and
2 CONT never saw him again."
2 CONT
2 CONT Although much of John's "Journal" is dry reading, detailing his view
2 CONC on
2 CONT religion and the Society of Friends, we do get a glimpse of the more
2 CONC personal
2 CONT side of his nature from the following excerpts: he was afraid to tell
2 CONC lies
2 CONT (except to embellish a pleasant story), never swore an oath or uttered
2 CONC a curse,
2 CONT never departed from the plain speech, kept "much love and regard" for
2 CONC those
2 CONT whom he regarded as truly religious and commonly attended first day
2 CONC meetings.
2 CONT We get a picture of a man driven by his religious convictions and
2 CONC needs when he
2 CONT tells us that in attempting to conquer temptations, he first Triumphed
2 CONC over the
2 CONT sins of the flesh and then found that Satan became an "angel of light"
2 CONC to make
2 CONT him mortify his body. After going around half-starved, with too little
2 CONC sleep,
2 CONT and attempting to work continually, he fell into a religious
2 CONC depression until a
2 CONT ministering Friend visited and told him that his torturing of the body
2 CONC was a
2 CONT design of Satan. John Griffith, caught between good and evil, realized
2 CONC that he
2 CONT had the power of decision. Afterward the Lord "broke in upon my soul,
2 CONC by his
2 CONT judgments mixed with mercy, in such a powerful manner, as that I was
2 CONC made
2 CONT willing to yield up thereunto, come life or death." John, in the midst
2 CONC of his
2 CONT "high career" in the ministry, lost his gift to speak for nearly five
2 CONC months.
2 CONT He tells us that the "Lord finally saw his suffering and restored the
2 CONC ability."
2 CONT
2 CONT We also learn from the "Journal" that John married twice. His first
2 CONC wife,
2 CONT Rebekah, daughter of Josiah and Sarah Fearne, granddaughter of John
2 CONC Blunston,
2 CONT was a woman of property. They made their home at Darby, near
2 CONC Philadelphia. He
2 CONT mentions three children and a fourth that died. He tells us that he
2 CONC became a
2 CONT minister of the Quaker faith, visiting the Meetings in New England,
2 CONT Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and that he was sent to England
2 CONC and
2 CONT France. [NOTE: Hopewell Monthly Meeting minutes, Frederick co., VA
2 CONC records
2 CONT John's visit in 1765, calling him, "an English Friend with a Welsh
2 CONC name." His
2 CONT visit was two years after the end of the French and Indian War, and he
2 CONC says,
2 CONT "It was an exceedingly dark, afflicting time." (Hopewell Friends
2 CONC History,
2 CONT 1734-1934.)] We learn from the "Journal" that his second marriage was
2 CONC to
2 CONT Frances Wyatt. When John died at the age of 63, he had been a minister
2 CONC for 42
2 CONT years.
2 CONT
2 CONT MARRIAGE: Darby Monthly Meeting records. 8 mo, 5, 1737: John & Rebecca
2 CONC Fearne
2 CONT announce intention to marry. 9 mo, 2, 1737, 2nd announcement of
2 CONC intention, 9
2 CONT mo, 13, 1737, John of Chester co., PA and Rebecca Fearn, daughter of
2 CONC Josiah
2 CONT (deceased) of Chester Co., PA, married at Darby Monthly Meeting, PA.
2 CONT 7-22-1746, his wife Rebekah died and one of the children died just one
2 CONC week
2 CONT earlier of what John calls "distemper." Of the three children left,
2 CONC the
2 CONT youngest was only 2 1/2 weeks old. In 1747, he made a trip to England
2 CONC and
2 CONT Wales, visiting his mother, his father had died 3 years earlier. There
2 CONC were a
2 CONT brother and sister living at home with the mother in South Wales,
2 CONC another
2 CONT sister was married nearby. 10-10-1749, he left London, at St. Albans,
2 CONC where he
2 CONT was met by Benjamin Kidd.
2 CONT
2 CONT He obtained a Certificate of Removal from Darby Monthly Meeting in
2 CONC Chester
2 CONT county, PA, directly to the Monthly Meeting of Witham, Essex, England.
2 CONC He had
2 CONT one daughter with him and his sister Mary (Johns) who had been his
2 CONC housekeeper
2 CONT since before Rebekah died. He left and traveled to East Nottingham, PA
2 CONC on
2 CONT 8-12-1750, where his sister left them. He sailed 9-11-1750 and cleared
2 CONC the
2 CONT Chesapeake Bay on the 18th. 10-19-1750, he landed at Falmouth Harbor,
2 CONC England
2 CONT and after marrying Frances Wyatt, settled in Chelmsford, Essex,
2 CONC England.
2 CONT
2 CONT He visited his mother again in 1751 and visited the Pales Meeting,
2 CONC Talcoyd
2 CONT Meeting and the Coom Meeting, 6 miles from his Mother's house. His
2 CONC brother,
2 CONT Benjamin, then acted as guide to Cardiganshire, where he visited a
2 CONC small, poor
2 CONT meeting at Evans.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1765/66, he visited America again.

2 CONT
2 CONT Mrs. Nancy Speers, Archivist at Friends Historical Library, writes in
2 CONC a March
2 CONT 1992 letter to this researcher: "John Griffith was granted a
2 CONC certificate to
2 CONT Witham M.M. in Chelmsford, Essex, Eng., leaving Amy and Rebecca behind
2 CONC in the
2 CONT care of his sister, Mary Speakman, wife of Micajah Speakman of Concord
2 CONC M.M.
2 CONT John married 2nd in Chelmsford, Essex, to Frances Wyatt, and they had
2 CONC one son,
2 CONT John, b. 11 Mar 1754, d. the 21st of that same month. In 1765, on 31
2 CONC Oct. he
2 CONT [John] was received back at Darby M.M. on certificate from Chelmsford
2 CONC on a
2 CONT visit both religious and to relatives. As we have seen, his daughter
2 CONC Hannah was
2 CONT already married when he arrived, unless he got there in time for her
2 CONC marriage.
2 CONT I have no idea whether it was Nathan Davis with whom he had the
2 CONC problems, and
2 CONT could not find the reference in the PA Magazine to which you and Dr.
2 CONC Frost
2 CONT referred. What I did find, in a different volume of it, was a
2 CONC memorandum
2 CONT written by John Griffith on 13 Nov 1766 in which he left his daughters
2 CONC Amy and
2 CONT Rebecca in the care of his sister Mary Speakman, and hoped his friends
2 CONC Isaac
2 CONT Zane, John Pemberton, and Edmund Hollinshead would advise and counsel
2 CONC them as
2 CONT to marriage when and if the time came. I have not found any signs of
2 CONC marriage
2 CONT for either of these daughters. Soon after the Memorandum was written,
2 CONC John
2 CONT sailed for England again, and never returned."
2 CONT
2 CONT After receiving the above message from Mrs. Speers, a copy of the
2 CONC letter from
2 CONT John Griffith to his friend John Pemberton was located that reveals
2 CONC much about
2 CONT his daughters and other personal matters:
2 CONT
2 CONT Chelmsford 10 12 mo. 1767
2 CONT
2 CONT Dear Friend John Pemberton:
2 CONT
2 CONT      I recd thine yesterday of last 10 mo with the affecting account
2 CONC of the
2 CONT escape [death] of my daughter Amy which sudden and unexpected event
2 CONC caused for
2 CONT the present some sorrow and sadness yet not without a degree of hope
2 CONC that in
2 CONT the wise disposal of Divine providence it is all ordered for the best.
2 CONC It
2 CONT affords great satisfaction to find by thy account that her conduct had
2 CONC been
2 CONT such as to engage the affections and regard of friends and that she
2 CONC left the
2 CONT world with so much resignation to the Divine Will. The Departure of
2 CONC such a
2 CONT child tho it comes near is abundantly more easy and satisfactory than
2 CONC when
2 CONT parents (as too many have to have the great and deep anxiety on acct
2 CONC of the
2 CONT irreligious & disorderly conduct of their children.) I sincerely wish
2 CONC her
2 CONT sudden removal in the prime of life may have a due impression on the
2 CONC minds of
2 CONT her sisters that are left behind, as well as upon others, that they
2 CONC may be
2 CONT quickened in a dilligent preparation for that awful change -- I am
2 CONC entirely one
2 CONT with thee in thy sentiment that the poor young man sho'd not suffer in
2 CONC his
2 CONT circumstances by marrying my daughter and if thy father Zanes and thee
2 CONC think
2 CONT it proper that he should have the remaining part of the L50 to make up
2 CONC any
2 CONT defficiency you have my full consent to deduct the said L50 out of the
2 CONC money
2 CONT arising from the sale of the land, which you have wholly in your power
2 CONC to stop
2 CONT as they cannot a present make any tittle to it without your yes. I
2 CONC think that
2 CONT if the young man has all that money, he ought to deliver all her
2 CONC wearing
2 CONT apparel and things which she had before she married him to her two
2 CONC sisters --
2 CONT and as my daughter Hannah has I hope a good husband to take care of
2 CONC her and the
2 CONT perfect use of both her arms; tho she has as great a share in my
2 CONC affections as
2 CONT any; yet I think considering the condition of my poor daughter Rebecca
2 CONC that she
2 CONT ought to have much the greatest part, her best gound or gounds and
2 CONC ____ having
2 CONT said so much I shall leave the order of it to my sister Mary with thy
2 CONC father
2 CONT and thee -- With respect to the selling the land I must wholly leave
2 CONC it to your
2 CONT disgression in conjunction with those to be benefitted by it. Also
2 CONC consulting
2 CONT Brother and Sister Speakman on behalf of my daughter Rebecca pray take
2 CONC great
2 CONT care to have her part of the money arising from the sail well secured.
2 CONC I still
2 CONT think Wm Hornes price is far below what might be made of it if things
2 CONC in your
2 CONT country in relation to Cash was to return to its former Condition.
2 CONC What if my
2 CONT son in law and daughter Hannah were to take down the old house to bild
2 CONC one upon
2 CONT it with the materials & endeavor to get a price of Morphmedow to help
2 CONC them out
2 CONT and Nathans father with him, to secure Beckeys part, he ought to
2 CONC advance
2 CONT something handsome if he can having done little yet, but I only just
2 CONC mention
2 CONT it. I don't doubt but I shall redily acquiess in any way that you all
2 CONC think for
2 CONT the best -- I very well approve of thy intention of sending the years
2 CONC rent with
2 CONT the money for my horse in one bill. Please to speak to my cousin
2 CONC Josiah Bunting
2 CONT before hand & let him know I wo'd take it kind if he and Silas Jones
2 CONC wo'd pay
2 CONT the whole rent upon its being due but wo'd not care how soon I have it
2 CONC next
2 CONT year. I have since winter came been much troubled with my old
2 CONC disorder, tho I
2 CONT keep pretty much about. My dr wife and the rest are in usual health.
2 CONC Sister
2 CONT Shelton and her eldest daughter deceased the last summer and fall, the
2 CONT daughter about 9 weeks before her mother. It has been a time of pretty
2 CONC great
2 CONT mortality in divers places -- and has long been and is still like to
2 CONC continue a
2 CONT dearth of most all sorts of provisions. Wheat sells one less than
2 CONC 7/.7/6 or 8/
2 CONT pr bushell so than many of the poor suffer much & indeed it is a hard
2 CONC time upon
2 CONT milling people from the dullness of trade, the great charge of
2 CONC housekeeping and
2 CONT poor rates running so high. I think care sho'd be taken in the sale of
2 CONC the land
2 CONT that Wm Horne sho'd have liberty to take his crop of that year of in
2 CONC which it
2 CONT is sold and then I think hele not be much of a sufferer, but as he is
2 CONC not like
2 CONT to have it long, I hope youl be as sparing as possible in regard to
2 CONC cutting
2 CONT down timber for rails as that wo'd injure the prices but am willing to
2 CONC leave
2 CONT all to you believing youl order things as well or better than I can --
2 CONC I have
2 CONT had the opportunity by means of a frd of London to peruse S Smith's
2 CONC History of
2 CONT New Jersey and sho'd be glad thou'd send me that of Pensilvania
2 CONC unbound wh I
2 CONT understand was to be in two vols vix one of the State & one of the
2 CONC church, &
2 CONT take the price of them out of the money in thy hands. Direct them to
2 CONC any frd in

2 CONC armed is
2 CONT not like to be resumed any more; but don't tell me how far your mo &

2 CONT but hope as she seems upon recovery she will yet be spared a while to
2 CONC her

2 CONT SOURCE: HEARD JOURNAL, No. 19, Oct. 1989, p. 656:
2 CONT Comment on research done by Charles Clemson on the Faulkner line by
2 CONC the editor:
2 CONT "One reason the research is important to us is that I've received &
2 CONC seen in
2 CONT print, conclusions that a Thomas Faulkner who landed in VA,
2 CONC transporting some
2 CONT persons, was therefore Mary's [Faulkner] father, without any other
2 CONC supporting
2 CONT evidence.
2 CONT
2 CONT A second reason, the old "lord Faulkner tale, finds no support in his
2 CONC research
2 CONT & as it is easy to find members of the peerage, there is no reason for
2 CONT descendants to give it credence.
2 CONT
2 CONT Another is the Welsh origin which "tradition" attributes to the
2 CONC Faulkners. It
2 CONT is possible, of course, but my checking of the Wales IGI with
2 CONC thousands of
2 CONT records in it, showed that Faulkner [any version] was so rare as to
2 CONC convince me
2 CONT that the name was not of Welsh origin or significant immigration into
2 CONC Wales. In
2 CONT the IGI for London & Middlesex Co., however, there were abudnant
2 CONC Faulkner
2 CONT variants, & in the 1600s and 1700s. Charles found interesting records
2 CONC re: a
2 CONT Jesse Faulkner & Thomas, in London, relationship not established.
2 CONC Faulkner
2 CONT descendants might enjoy reserching the origin of the name & pursuing
2 CONC records in
2 CONT areas indicated the article." (See notes under Mary Faulkner/Stephen
2 CONC Heard)
2 CONT
2 CONT From HEARD JOURNAL, No. 15 & 16, July & Oct 1988, page 450. Most of
2 CONC the
2 CONT Lancaster Co., PA records have been researched by Charles R. Clemson,
2 CONT Lancaster, PA. Some of these PA records are listed in Heard Journal
2 CONC #9, p.
2 CONT 220-221 and Journal #13, p. 384, by Charles Clemson. Research included

2 CONC Historical
2 CONT Society file for Clemson and related families, also the Fierre/Ferree

2 CONT where data on Thomas Falkner of Lancaster Co., PA was seen. Thomas
2 CONC Falkner
2 CONT married Marie Ferree (Fara) in 1715 at Immanuel Church in New Castle,
2 CONC DE. His

2 CONC ********
2 CONT
2 CONT The following information is transcribed exactly as received from
2 CONC James L.
2 CONT Faulkner, 2533 Mockingbird Lane, Camino, CA 95709:
2 CONT
2 CONT THOMAS FAULKNER (Current as of 16 April 1992)
2 CONT In the scripture, the name Thomas means "twin." The name is mentioned
2 CONC in
2 CONT Matthew 10.3. in which Thomas andd Matthew are shown as
2 CONC "tax-gatherer."
2 CONT
2 CONT Although no record has been found of Thomas Faulkner's birth or
2 CONC birthplace, it
2 CONT is probable he or his family were of English, Scots Irish, or Irish
2 CONC descent. On
2 CONT 4 May 1789, his son Jesse deeds to his sons David and Jesse (Jr) any
2 CONC interest
2 CONT he, Jesse, may have in the property of his father, Thomas Faulkner,
2 CONC deceased
2 CONT which "...may be found in either the said Kingdoms of Great Britain
2 CONC and
2 CONT Ireland..." This deed is recorded in Deed Book 11, page 656, in
2 CONC Berkeley
2 CONT County, Virginia, (now in West Virginia).
2 CONT
2 CONT 22 February 1715--Daniel and Anna Maria Ferree, and Isaac and
2 CONC Katherine Lefevre
2 CONT grant land in Pequea, Chester Co., PA, to Thomas Faulkner. There were
2 CONC two
2 CONT parcels involved, each of 167 acres, both of which were part of the
2 CONC original
2 CONT 2000 acres granted to Daniel Ferree and Isaac Lefevre by William Penn.
2 CONT
2 CONT 15 March 1715--Ferree and Lefevre acknowledge receipt of the
2 CONC twenty-five pound
2 CONT consideration for the above purchase and deliver "peaceable
2 CONC possession" to
2 CONT "Thomas Folkner and Mary Katharine, his wife..."
2 CONT
2 CONT It is interesting to note that while the recordation of the deed
2 CONC mentioned
2 CONT above shows Mary Katharine as the wife, the marriage banns were not
2 CONT accomplished until 30 June 1715. It may be that, sincce the
2 CONC recordation took
2 CONT place after the banns date, the recorder just listed the wife,
2 CONC although she may
2 CONT not have been a party to the monetary transaction earlier in the year.
2 CONT
2 CONT About 1716 Mary Catherine Faulkner wa born, possibly in Bethlehem
2 CONC Township,
2 CONT Chester (later Lancaster) County, PA.
2 CONT
2 CONT In addition to the tax assessment lists referred to in the second
2 CONC paragraph
2 CONT below, Thomas Faulkner is shown in the "Index to the 1718-1726 Tax
2 CONC Records of
2 CONT Chester County, Relating to Areas Later Part of Lancaster County,"
2 CONC Volume 4,
2 CONT compiled by Gary T. Hawbaker and Clyde L. Groff. The index shows:
2 CONC Thomas
2 CONT Falkner, 1714, Lands on the River Pequea, 250 acres, surveyed October,
2 CONC 1714;
2 CONT Thomas Falkner, 1716; Thomas Faulkneneer, 1719, Conestogoe rate;
2 CONC Thomas
2 CONT Faulknener, 1719, Conestogoe rate. There is also an undated entry
2 CONC which shows:
2 CONT Thomas Falkner, Lands on the River Pequea-333 acres.
2 CONT
2 CONT Interestingly, in the same index there are similar undated entries for
2 CONC Daniel
2 CONT Fiere, John Fiere, and Philip Fiere each for - Lands on the River
2 CONC Pequea-333
2 CONT acres. I have not checked, but I would imagine there would be a
2 CONC similar entry
2 CONT for Isaac LeFevre and possibly Richard Davis. The sum of the acreage
2 CONC would then
2 CONT approximate the 2000 acres patented to Daniel Fiere and Isaac LeFevre,
2 CONC the son
2 CONT and son-in-law resepectively of Marie Warenbur (Thomas Faulkner's
2 CONT mother-in-law.)
2 CONT
2 CONT Thomas Falkner is shown listed among the "Dutch Inhabitants" in the
2 CONC 1718 tax
2 CONT assessment of Conestoga township, Chester County, PA. Conestoga became
2 CONC a part
2 CONT of Lancaster County in 1729. Pequea became a separate district in 1720
2 CONC and
2 CONT Thomas Falkneer is shown on that assessment with a value given to his
2 CONC estate of
2 CONT 40 pounds. Interestingly, Daniel Ferree and John Ferree had
2 CONC assessments of 50
2 CONT and 40 pounds respectively. The tax was at the rate of three pence on
2 CONC the
2 CONT pound. The district became a part of Lancaster County in 1729 as well.
2 CONT
2 CONT The index to the tax records for Chester County show the following
2 CONC (name,
2 CONT pounds/pence, district, date): Thoms Falkner, 10/0, Pequa, 1720;
2 CONC Thomas
2 CONT Faulkener, 9/0, in Pequea Palatines at Conistogoe, 1721; Tho:Falknoner
2 CONC &, 5/0
2 CONT at Peque East Conestogoe, 1722; Thomas Falknower, 2/8, Connestogoe,
2 CONC 1724; Tho:
2 CONT Forney, non res, 3/0, Peque, 1724; Thomas Falknoner, 3/3, Conistogoe,
2 CONC 1725; and
2 CONT Thos Falknoner, 3/0, Peque, 1726. It is interesting to note the
2 CONC decrease in the
2 CONT assessment from ten pounds, no pence in 1720 to three pounds, no pence
2 CONC in 1726.
2 CONT Whether this represents a decrease in acreage or some other reason,
2 CONC I'm not
2 CONT sure at this time.
2 CONT
2 CONT About 1722 Jesse Faulkner is born, possibly in Bethlehem Township,
2 CONC Chester
2 CONT (later Lancaster) County, PA.
2 CONT
2 CONT About 1724 Eve Faulkner is born, possibly in Bethlehem Township,
2 CONC Chester (later
2 CONT Lancaster) County, PA.
2 CONT
2 CONT About 1726 Susannah Faulkner is born, possibly in Bethlehem Township,
2 CONC Chester
2 CONT (later Lancaster) County, PA.
2 CONT
2 CONT In the "Pennsylvania Archives," Third Series, Volume 24, pages
2 CONC 405-408, Thomas
2 CONT Faulkner is shown as a warrantee of land in Lancaster County. the
2 CONC listings show
2 CONT name, acres, and date of survey and are Thomas Falkner, 100, October

2 CONT [NOTE: On assessment-list for 1724, Salisbury Township in the History
2 CONC of
2 CONT Lancaster County, 1883 ed., page 1041, Thomas Faulkner is listed.]
2 CONT On 7 May 1745, Thomas and his wife Jane deeded 195 acres of the

2 CONT
2 CONT On 15 May 1749, he and Jane deeded four parcels in Lancaster County to

1 NOTE Nothing personal is known about the Grandfather of our immigrant
2 CONC ancestor.
2 CONT However, from the Certificate of Removal for Thomas Griffith, it is
2 CONC stated that
2 CONT the family were landholders so it is probably safe to assume that
2 CONC William
2 CONT Griffith was a landholder in Wales, more than likely a small farmer.
2 CONC From the
2 CONT tone of the "Journal" of John Griffith, his grandson, we believe the
2 CONC family to
2 CONT have been an educated one. John makes reference in his "Journal" to
2 CONC the family
2 CONT being large in number, so it is assumed that William Griffith had many
2 CONC more
2 CONT children than the one we show here. In Radnorshire there is a Margaret
2 CONC Griffith
2 CONT of parish Landewy, Radnorshire, who married Edward Jones of parish of
2 CONC St.
2 CONT Harmon, Radnorshire, 5, 4th mo. 1680 and several of the witnesses
2 CONC recorded in
2 CONT the Quaker record include Griffiths and a Rees. The marriage date
2 CONC would make it
2 CONT possible for her to have been a sister of William Griffith (R:145).
2 CONC There is
2 CONT also a Quaker record for Ross-Heref.-Radnor for the birth of a
2 CONC Susannah
2 CONT Griffiths, daughter of William and Mary, dated 7, 4th mo. 1721, that
2 CONC would make
2 CONT it possible that William Griffith, the father, would be a brother to
2 CONC John
2 CONT Griffith (R:81). There is is a final marriage entry 19th of 2 mo. 1719
2 CONC for
2 CONT James Lloyd of parish Lansanfread, co. Radnor, widower and Ann
2 CONC Griffith of same
2 CONT parish, spinster, eldest daughter of Thos. Griffith of parish of
2 CONC Landrindod,
2 CONT Radnor. The name Thomas would indicate that he is probably a relative
2 CONC of our
2 CONT Thomas (R:117), perhaps John's (R:81) older brother. Further
2 CONC circumstantial
2 CONT evidence tying these entries to our Thomas (R:117) is the fact that
2 CONC Thomas
2 CONT named a daughter Susanna and a daughter Ann, neither name being that
2 CONC of his
2 CONT wife, mother, or mother-in-law. All of this is conjecture, however,
2 CONC and unless
2 CONT someone is willing and able to dig much deeper into the Welsh records,
2 CONC we may
2 CONT never know.
2 CONT
2 CONT Research in Wales becomes particularly difficult for the untrained due
2 CONC to the
2 CONT Welsh use of the old system of patrynomics which is a name derived by
2 CONC adding
2 CONT the name of the father to form the new name in the next generation. In
2 CONC Wales,
2 CONT Thomas son of John would read Thomas ap John which could become Thomas
2 CONC John or
2 CONT Thomas Jones. Or Thomas might go one step further and add a
2 CONC grandfather's name,
2 CONT such as Thomas ap John ap William and become Thomas John, Thomas
2 CONC Jones, or even
2 CONT Thomas Williams. It would not be unusual to find in a single Welsh
2 CONC pedigree
2 CONT chart a different surname chosen for each child. Surnames did not
2 CONC begin to be
2 CONT used regularly by the Welsh until after the large migrations to
2 CONC America and
2 CONT many of the early Pennsylvania records of Welsh immigrants reflect the
2 CONT continued use of the patrynomic. To complicate matters more, many of
2 CONC the
2 CONT patrynomics became contracted and were pronounced as they were heard
2 CONC such as
2 CONT the name Bowen, which comes from a contraction of "ap owen," or Price
2 CONC which was
2 CONT originally "ap Rhys." Our own John Griffith (R-135) refers in his
2 CONC "Journal" to
2 CONT his sister Mary as "Mary Johns," which is probably how she was known
2 CONC in Wales,
2 CONT coming from the Welsh "Mary verch John" translating to "John's
2 CONC daughter Mary"
2 CONT shortened to "Mary Johns." However, she must have elected to use the
2 CONC surname
2 CONT Griffith as her legal name, since she is listed as Mary Griffith in
2 CONC her
2 CONT marriage record.

2 CONT SOURCE: HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY, page 96-97, from Redmond
2 CONC Conyngham's
2 CONT Address of July 4th, 1842:
2 CONT According to the statements of R. Conyngham, Esq., a man of erudition
2 CONC and well
2 CONT known as one of more than ordinary research into Historical facts,
2 CONC Mary, the
2 CONT mother of Daniel Ferree, accompanied by her children, and armed with a
2 CONC spirit
2 CONT of resolution superior to her sex, went to London, from thence to
2 CONC Kensington,
2 CONT where William Penn resided, to be near Queen Anne, of whom he was
2 CONC deservedly a
2 CONT favorite. Madame Ferree made her wishes known to him: William Penn
2 CONC sympathized
2 CONT with her in her misfortunes and became interested for her and her
2 CONC children, and
2 CONT next day introduced her to Queen Anne.
2 CONT
2 CONT The Queen was delighted in thus being afforded an opportunity to
2 CONC display the
2 CONT natural feelings of her heart. Lodgings were obtained for Madame
2 CONC Ferree in the
2 CONT vicinity until a vessel was ready to sail for New York.
2 CONT
2 CONT SOURCE: HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY, page 108-114:
2 CONT In the reign of Louis XIV King of France, the privileges of the
2 CONC Protestants
2 CONT were openly violated, missionaries were sent for their conversion,
2 CONC supported by
2 CONT dragoons, and severities were exercised which excited the horror and
2 CONT indignation of all the reformed states of Europe. In 1685, the
2 CONC revocation of
2 CONT the edict of Nantes, first granted by Henry IV and confirmed by Louis
2 CONC XIII
2 CONT deprived the Protestants of all exercise of their religion, and tore
2 CONC them from
2 CONT their children to be educated Catholics.....About this time the
2 CONC husband of
2 CONT Mary Ferrie or Verre resided in the town of Lindau, not far from the
2 CONC river
2 CONT Rhine, in the kingdom of France; his family consisted of himself, his
2 CONC wife,
2 CONT three sons and three daughters; the names of the sons were Daniel,
2 CONC Philip and
2 CONT John, a, the daughters' names were Catharine, Mary and Jane. Mr.
2 CONC Ferrie, the
2 CONT father, was a silk-weaver by trade, his religion Calvinistic;
2 CONC consequently he
2 CONT became one of the sufferers under those decrees. The troops had
2 CONC entered their
2 CONT town and commenced murdering the Protestants taking and destroying
2 CONC their
2 CONT property, they had no other shift but to take flight, leaving behind
2 CONC them all
2 CONT their property except some trifling articles, and some cash; they made
2 CONC flight
2 CONT into Germany, not far from Strasburg, where they resided two years. On
2 CONC their
2 CONT leaving France, they were accompanied by a young man by the name of
2 CONC Isaac
2 CONT LeFevre, who stated that his family were nearly all put to death by
2 CONC the
2 CONT soldiers, that he himself escaped with difficulty, unhurt; he
2 CONC continued as one
2 CONT of the family until they arrived in America and married one of their
2 CONC daughters,
2 CONT Catharine Ferrie, and from whom as far as we can learn, all the names
2 CONC of the
2 CONT LeFevres, in this county, spring.
2 CONT
2 CONT During their residence in Germany, the father died, and Mary Ferrie,
2 CONC the widow,
2 CONT (IT IS SINGULAR THAT AFTER SHE CAME TO AMERICA, SHE WAS NOT PLEASED TO
2 CONC BE
2 CONT CALLED BY ANY OTHER NAME THAN THAT OF MARY WARRINBUER, THAT BEING HER
2 CONC MAIDEN
2 CONT NAME)--hearing of the fine province, called Pennsylvania, in North
2 CONC America,
2 CONT that the proprietor, William Penn, resided in London, determined to
2 CONC set out for
2 CONT that place, that if she could find sufficient encouragement from Penn,
2 CONC she
2 CONT would try to get to America; she accordingly set out for London with
2 CONC her
2 CONT family, and when she arrived there, she employed a person to direct
2 CONC her to
2 CONT William Penn's residence. When on their way, her conductor pointed out
2 CONC to her
2 CONT Penn's carriage, which was just meeting them: she being of a
2 CONC persevering
2 CONT disposition, called Penn, who immediately stopped his carriage, and he
2 CONC being
2 CONT well acquainted with the french language, which was quite gratifying
2 CONC to her, as
2 CONT she could neither speak nor understand the English.--Penn having
2 CONC learned the
2 CONT nature and object of her call, invited her into his carriage....Penn
2 CONC told her
2 CONT he had an agent in Pennsylvania, that to him, he would give her a
2 CONT recommendation, so that her business, he hoped, might be done to her
2 CONT satisfaction.
2 CONT
2 CONT They remained in London about six months, when a vessel was about to
2 CONC sail for
2 CONT the North river, in which they took passage. On their arrival at New
2 CONC York, they
2 CONT moved up the North river to a place called Esopus (an early settlement
2 CONC between
2 CONT 80 and 90 miles north of the city of New York. It was also formerly
2 CONC called
2 CONT Wildwycke, now Kingston.) They remained about two years, then moved to
2 CONT Philadelphia, thence into Pequea settlement. Previous to which they
2 CONC had taken
2 CONT up a large tract of land. Before they sailed from London for America,
2 CONC a variety
2 CONT of implements of husbandry was presented to them by Queen Anne, which
2 CONC they
2 CONT found of great use when they commenced clearing land.

2 CONC ********
2 CONT
2 CONT The following is reproduced exactly as received from James L.
2 CONC Faulkner, 2533
2 CONT Mockingbird Lane, Camino, CA 95709:
2 CONT
2 CONT MARIE WARENBUER FERREE (Note: What follows has been taken from several
2 CONC sources,
2 CONT some unknown, and others known and cited.)
2 CONT
2 CONT (Note: The following information was prepared by a member of the
2 CONC Ferree family,
2 CONT name and date unknown.)
2 CONT
2 CONT Madam Ferree is generally regarded as the ancestress of all the
2 CONC Ferrees in
2 CONT America. The name has been spelled in various ways: Fierre, Fier,
2 CONC Free, Firre,
2 CONT Fuehre, Fiere, etc. Since about 1750, nearly all members of the family
2 CONC have
2 CONT written their surname as "Ferree." An outline of the life of Madam
2 CONC Ferree
2 CONT follows.
2 CONT
2 CONT She is generally thought to have been born Marie Warenbur, (also
2 CONC spelled
2 CONT several ways) about 1650-1653. She married Daniel Ferree, who was a
2 CONC silk
2 CONT weaver. Daniel is said to have been a descendant of Jean La Verree, of
2 CONC whom we
2 CONT know nothing more. They became Huguenots or French Protestants. The
2 CONC family
2 CONT lived first in Picardy and later in Flanders. When the Edict of Nantes
2 CONC was
2 CONT revoked in 1685, and took away the liberty of worship from the
2 CONC Protestants, the
2 CONT family of Daniel Ferree fled to Landau in the German Palatinate. Later
2 CONC they
2 CONT removed to Steinweiler, and adjacent village. Daniel died before 1708,
2 CONC but
2 CONT neither the place nor the year of his death is now known.
2 CONT
2 CONT After the death of her husband, Madam Ferree is said to have resumed
2 CONC her maiden
2 CONT name of Marie Warenbur, according to a French custom of that time. She
2 CONC and her
2 CONT family decided to emigrate to America. With this in view, they
2 CONC obtained a
2 CONT certificate of church membership from the French Reformed (Walloon)
2 CONC Church at
2 CONT Pelican, dated May 10, 1708. Previously, on March 10, 1708, they
2 CONC obtained a
2 CONT civil passport from the court clerk of the Mayoralty of Billigheim in
2 CONC which the
2 CONT twon of Steinweiler was located. This passport stated that they
2 CONC "purpose to
2 CONT emigrate from Steinweiler, via Holland and England to the Island of
2 CONT Pennsylvania." Copies of both documents can be found in Rupp's
2 CONC "History of
2 CONT Lancaster County." The church certificate is in French, the civil
2 CONC passport in
2 CONT German.
2 CONT
2 CONT Whether Madame Ferree or any of her children remained for any length
2 CONC of time in
2 CONT Holland is not now clear. It is almost certain that some of the family
2 CONC could
2 CONT not have tarred long in that country, for on August 28, 1708, Isaac
2 CONC LeFevre
2 CONT (married to Madame Ferree's daughter, Catharine) and Daniel Ferree
2 CONC (one of
2 CONT Madame Ferree's sons) and some others secured for themselves and their
2 CONT families, Letters of Denization for the British colonies. It is
2 CONC certain that
2 CONT Danile Ferree and Isaac LeFevre, with their families accompanied the
2 CONC Reverend
2 CONT Joshua de Kocherthal on the ship "Globe," and that they arrived at New
2 CONC York on
2 CONT January 1, 1709. Madame Ferree herself does not appear on the records
2 CONC again
2 CONT until May 6, 1709, when she is recorded as one on a list of poor
2 CONC Germans lately
2 CONT come over from the Palatinate into this kingdom, taken in St.
2 CONC Katharine's
2 CONT (London).
2 CONT
2 CONT From this it is supposed that Madame Ferree and the other members of
2 CONC the
2 CONT family, excepting Daniel and his family, and Catharine and her family,
2 CONC remained
2 CONT in Holland and did not cross to England until early in 1709, and that
2 CONC she and
2 CONT the rest of her family came to America in 1709 or 1710. They probably
2 CONC came with
2 CONT the Reverend Mr. Kocherthal and his second party of emigrants in the
2 CONC ship
2 CONT "Lyon," which landed at New York on June 13 or 14, 1710.
2 CONC Unfortunately, this
2 CONT latter statement cannot be verified since all the ship lists prior to
2 CONC 1726 seem
2 CONT to have been destroyed.
2 CONT
2 CONT Wherever or whenever Madame Ferree landed, it seems certain that the
2 CONC family
2 CONT made their way to Esophus (now Kingston), New York, where a French
2 CONC colony had
2 CONT existed from about 1660, and where Hugo Freer, the DuBoises, and some
2 CONC of the
2 CONT LeFevres and the Deyos, and others had established themselves. Family
2 CONC tradition
2 CONT has it that Philip Ferree, youngest son of Madame Ferree, worked there
2 CONC a year
2 CONT for Abraham Dubois, and we do know that he married Leah Dubois, one of
2 CONC the
2 CONT daughters of Abraham Dubois. Thus, it would seem that the entire
2 CONC family was
2 CONT united at Esophus.
2 CONT
2 CONT It has been said that the family lived for some time in the city of
2 CONT Philadelphia. This is doubted by others, and even if they did live
2 CONC there, it
2 CONT was for a short time only.  We know from the Pennsylvania Records that
2 CONC Madame
2 CONT Ferree, her son Daniel, and her son-in-law, Isaac LeFevre, appeared in
2 CONT Philadelphia on September 10, 1712, for the purpose of securing two
2 CONC thousand
2 CONT acres of land which tradition says William penn had personally
2 CONC promised Madame
2 CONT Ferree in London. From the Pennsylvania Reocrds it seems that John
2 CONC Rudolph,
2 CONT Martin Kindig, and others had taken up ten thousand acres of land at
2 CONC Pequea,
2 CONT October 20, 1710. On September 10, 1712, Martin Kindig appeared before
2 CONC the land
2 CONT Commissioners and asked that two thousand acres of this be granted to
2 CONC Maria
2 CONT Warenbur, "for whom the same was taken up or intended." But, "upon
2 CONC further
2 CONT consideration of the matter, it is agreed among ourselves that the
2 CONC said land
2 CONT shall be confirmed to Daniel Ferree and Isaac LeFevre, two of the said
2 CONC widow's
2 CONT sons, and the consideration money, viz't 140 pounds, at 7 Pounds p
2 CONC hund'd, by
2 CONT agreement, having been for some time due, but is now to be paid down
2 CONC in one
2 CONT sum, 'tis agreed that they shall pay only ten Pounds interest, that is
2 CONC 150
2 CONT Pounds in the whole." Thus two thousand acres were patented, not to
2 CONC Maria
2 CONT Warenbur, but to her son Daniel, and her son-in-law Isaac LeFevre.
2 CONT
2 CONT (Note: the information about the issuance of the warrant for the two
2 CONC thousand
2 CONT acres can be found in the "Early Pennsylvania Records-Minutes of the
2 CONC Board of
2 CONT Property of the Province of Pennsylvania," edited by William Henry
2 CONC Egle, and is
2 CONT part of Minute Book "H" found on pages 528 and 529.)
2 CONT
2 CONT (Note: In 1712, the tract of two thousand acres was in Chester County,
2 CONT Conestoga Township, now East Strasburg, Lancaster County.)
2 CONT
2 CONT Legally, Madame Ferree never owned a foot of land in Pennsylvania,
2 CONC although the
2 CONT land has always since been known as the Mary Ferree tract.
2 CONC Nevertheless, on
2 CONT November 7, 1712, Mary Ferree paid a year's quit rent on the tract and
2 CONC received
2 CONT a receipt for it in her own name. "Philadelphia, 11, 7, 1712, Received
2 CONC of maria
2 CONT Warenbuer, twenty shillings sterling, for one year's quit-rent of two
2 CONC thousand
2 CONT acres of land, laid out to her at Strasburg, in the Province. James
2 CONC Logan,
2 CONT Receiver." (I. Daniel Rupp, HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY (The Reprint
2 CONC Co., 1984,
2 CONT p. 107)
2 CONT
2 CONT Evidently, the land was intended for the family as a whole, and was to
2 CONC be
2 CONT divided among the various members of the family. Later, Daniel Ferree
2 CONC and isaac
2 CONT LeFevre made out deeds in their own names and in favor of various
2 CONC members of
2 CONT the family, each grantee paying his proportional share of the original
2 CONC purchase
2 CONT price. These deeds are recorded in Lancaster County.
2 CONT
2 CONT In dividing and resurveying the land, it was discovered that instead
2 CONC of
2 CONT containing two thousand acres of land, the Marie Ferree tract really
2 CONC contained
2 CONT two thousand three hundred acres. This was taken up wit the proper
2 CONC authorities,
2 CONT and it was agreed that the Ferrees might keep all of it provided they
2 CONC paid the
2 CONT additional twenty-one Pounds for the additional three hundred acres.
2 CONC This was
2 CONT paid, and accordingly, on October 29, 1734, "John Penn, Thomas Penn
2 CONC and Richard
2 CONT Penn, Esqrs., true and absolute Proprietaries and Governors in Chief
2 CONC of the
2 CONT Province of Pennsylvania and the Counties of New Castle, Kent and
2 CONC Susex, on the
2 CONT Delaware," gave the Ferrees a new patent in place of the old one which
2 CONC they
2 CONT surrendered. In the meantime and later, the individual members of the
2 CONC family
2 CONT took up more land, so that in all, they received probably five
2 CONC thousand acres
2 CONT by patent.
2 CONT
2 CONT Mary Ferree was buried in what later became the Ferree Graveyard and
2 CONC is also
2 CONT known as Carpenter's Graveyard. This cemetery, later legally set aside
2 CONC as a
2 CONT cemtery, is located about one mile south of the town of Paradise, in
2 CONC Lancaster
2 CONT County. Madame Ferree is said to have been the first to be interred
2 CONC there.
2 CONT although no one can be sure of the exact spot, someone has lately put
2 CONC up a
2 CONT small marker in the farthest corner of the cemtery, and has cut on it
2 CONC the
2 CONT initials "M.F.," and the year "1716." The cemtery plot was originally
2 CONC set aside
2 CONT as a cemtery in 1787, and a document for it is recorded in Lancaster
2 CONC County.

2 CONT Jesse was no longer in the county.  This is borne out by the fact that
2 CONC he is in

2 CONT
2 CONT On 15 August 1776 at the Hopewell Monthly Meeting, Jesse was a witness

2 CONT
2 CONT HEARD JOURNAL, No. 19, Oct 1989, page 657-658, reprinted here:
2 CONT Stephen Heard and wife Mary Faulkner arrived in Virginia from
2 CONC Pennsylvania not
2 CONT long after marriage. By family word Mary was a daughter of Thomas
2 CONC Faulkner.
2 CONT Descendants who thought this Heard family came ashore in Virginia
2 CONC sought father
2 CONT Thomas there in vain. Thomas Faulkner lived for many years near the
2 CONC Heard
2 CONT location in eastern Lancaster County, PA. Mary was the first daughter
2 CONC named in
2 CONT his 1752 will. Although records are few, the identification is deemed
2 CONC sure, and
2 CONT some information exists, partly summarized here.
2 CONT     When now-Lancaster County, Pa., was an inland wilderness, Thomas
2 CONC Fa(u)lkner
2 CONT was among the first recorded there. Land surveys 23 Oct 1710 show that
2 CONC he had
2 CONT previously joined the Huguenot Ferree family settlement plan; an equal
2 CONC 1/6
2 CONT share of the promised Ferree 2000 acres was surveyed in his name. The
2 CONC Ferrees
2 CONT had come from France, via refugee locations and London, to the Espopus
2 CONC refugee
2 CONT colony in New York for several first years in America. Records point
2 CONC to London
2 CONT as where Thomas must have met widowed Mme. Marie Catherine Ware(n)buer
2 CONT Fiere/Ferree and her children, including his future bride. They were
2 CONC there in
2 CONT 1708 and 1709, except the married two, Daniel and Catherine, who were
2 CONT naturalized with and sailed with the Rev. Kocherthal group, arriving
2 CONC at New
2 CONT York 31 December 1708. Marie Warambour was on the New York governor's
2 CONT subsistence lists, 1710 and 1712.
2 CONT     Mary Faulkner Heard may also have been namesaked Mary Catherine,
2 CONC as was her
2 CONT mother, 1 of 6 children of Europe-deceased Daniel Fiere/Ferree and his
2 CONC widow
2 CONT Marie Catherine Warenbuer, or Warembuer. In September 1712, the
2 CONC Ferrees arrived
2 CONT at Philadelphia from Esopus in New York (see Kingston), and received a
2 CONC 2000
2 CONT acres deed; paid for and received land-grant patent, and went inland
2 CONC to settle
2 CONT in the Pequea Valley along Pequea Creek, near the first few settlers.
2 CONC The first
2 CONT were Mennonites met in London, who helped with the 1710 arrangements
2 CONC for this
2 CONT land, part of their 10,000 acres land-grant warant for Palatine
2 CONC refugees.
2 CONT     In 1716, Mary Heard's grandmother Marie Ferree died, there in
2 CONC later
2 CONT Strasburg, now Paradise Township. Her estate inventory was very small,
2 CONC but she
2 CONT had seen her children situated in the new country with good land to
2 CONC develop,
2 CONT and by then all 3 daughters married. The Ferrees are well-noted
2 CONC Pennsylvania
2 CONT pioneers with many details recorded about them, but not about Thomas
2 CONC Faulkner
2 CONT and Richard Davis, who joined the Ferree settlement plan, and later
2 CONC married
2 CONT Ferrees.
2 CONT     On 6 May 1709, having resumed use of her maiden name, Marie Ferree
2 CONC was
2 CONT refugee-census recorded in London as a family head -- Marie Warembour,
2 CONC no
2 CONT spouse, Reformed -- in the St. Katherine's District east of London
2 CONC Tower. Her
2 CONT counts may have already included in her group the two recruits, Thomas
2 CONC Faulkner
2 CONT and Richard Davis. Richard married Jane Ferree at the same church two
2 CONC months
2 CONT after Thomas married Marie/Mary C. Ferree, but Richard died
2 CONC prematurely without
2 CONT children.
2 CONT     Thomas arrived in the friendly wilderness of now-Lancaster County
2 CONC at some
2 CONT time before 1714 and 1716 land-grant surveys of his own choice of land
2 CONC not far
2 CONT upstream from the Ferree lands. The location became Pequea and then
2 CONC Salisbury
2 CONT Township. His 30 June 1715 marriage, by banns, down the well-worn
2 CONC Indian trail
2 CONT at New Castle, Delawre, appears in the Immanuel Episcopal Church
2 CONC register. With
2 CONT no population and no roads where they had settled, that was the
2 CONC easiest route
2 CONT to a Church of England with a resident clergyman.
2 CONT     Later records include Thomas' sale of the two tracts, and
2 CONC successive
2 CONT acquistions of four nearby contiguous tracts extending down to
2 CONC Sadsbury
2 CONT Township just past the later village of Gap, that appears on road
2 CONC maps. Four
2 CONT tracts separated these lands from the Heards. Mary apparently died
2 CONC when the
2 CONT children were young, and Thomas remarried to Jane/Jean, of unknown
2 CONC surname.
2 CONT After more than three decades, in 1749 Thomas ended farming of those
2 CONC Lancaster
2 CONT County properties, sold them, and resettled in eastern Pennsylvania,
2 CONC in
2 CONT Bethlehem Township somewhere near the later city of Bethlehem. He
2 CONC dictated his
2 CONT will in February 1752, giving to son Jesse, already living there, his
2 CONC 200-acre
2 CONT property; and bequests to his living daughters, Mary, Susannah, and
2 CONC Eve; and
2 CONT two Green "nices" and James McCay, "nevoy." The two terms appear to
2 CONC refer to
2 CONT grandchildren, children of deceased daughters. Before the March estate
2 CONT inventory, the location jurisdiction had changed, from Bucks to new
2 CONC Northampton
2 CONT County. His will was probated in May down at Philadelphia.
2 CONT      Thomas' was the only Faulkner family in his area for a long
2 CONC period; others
2 CONT were farther east in Pennsylvania, and in Delaware and other colonies.
2 CONC The
2 CONT surname was spelled a number of ways in records. Besides their
2 CONC marriage record,
2 CONT his first wife Mary was identified by a 1718 Ferree family deed as
2 CONC Mary
2 CONT Faulkner. Thomas' daughter Mary appears only in his will among legatee
2 CONT children. No nearby Lancaster County church records survive for the
2 CONC period of
2 CONT the 1730s in which Mary married Stephen Heard. The Immanuel Episcopal
2 CONC register
2 CONT in New Castle lacks marriage recordings during that period. Above New
2 CONC Castle,
2 CONT son Jesse married a Quaker, Martha Smith, in 1744 at Old Swedes
2 CONC Lutheran
2 CONT Church; near young Wilmington, where it soon built a new church, and
2 CONC rapidly
2 CONT becoming English in character, since 1790 has been Episcopal. One or
2 CONC both of
2 CONT two other marriages there have been thought to be of Thomas Faulkner
2 CONC daughters.
2 CONT In 1738 Susanna "Farker" married Thomas Wilson, and shortly before,
2 CONC Catherine
2 CONT "Farkinear" married William Green. There in 1758, a Stephen "Hurd"
2 CONC married
2 CONT Elizabeth Burns. Stephen Heard and wife Elizabeth signed a mortgage
2 CONC deed in
2 CONT 1776.
2 CONT      Stephen and Mary Faulkner Heard's introduction of the namings
2 CONC Jesse and
2 CONT Faulkner Heard, passing down for descendants, and Jesse over to
2 CONC descendant
2 CONT cousins, is the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence of
2 CONC correctness of the
2 CONT family tradition that Stephen married Mary Faulkner, daughter of
2 CONC Thomas -- who
2 CONT actually was his nearby Pa. neighbor.  The name Thomas was also given
2 CONC but too
2 CONT prevalent to be extra evidence. Mary had one brother in their father's
2 CONC will,
2 CONT and his name was Jesse. It is thought that Thomas gave the name as a
2 CONC namesaking
2 CONT for his father, and for the same reason, Stephen and Mary Faulkner
2 CONC Heard
2 CONT continued that namesaking Jesse, besides the first of the Faulkner and
2 CONC Falkner
2 CONT Heard namings. (Note: Jesse was also one of the most common male names
2 CONC in the
2 CONT Eve Faulkner/Thomas Griffith line of descendants.)
2 CONT
2 CONT       Wherever his parents then were, a record of Thomas' baptism that
2 CONC would
2 CONT contain his father's name would probably have occurred in the 1680s.
2 CONC It has
2 CONT been said that he was born about 1686, and that he was Welsh. In
2 CONC August 1732,
2 CONT in Wandsworth parish and borough, of London, coachman Jesse Faulkner
2 CONC died at
2 CONT 73, and was buried on the 18th. His home parish or district was
2 CONC recorded as
2 CONT "St. George on ye East of Co. Middex." That was Stepney, Middlesex, at
2 CONC the
2 CONT eastern border of old London City. It may not be an unrelated
2 CONC coincidence that
2 CONT coachman Jesse Faulkner's home location abutted the district in which
2 CONC Marie
2 CONT Warembour (Ferree) and five were census-recorded on 6 May 1709. The
2 CONC St.
2 CONT George's small area had no part far from St. Katherine's District and
2 CONC Mme.
2 CONT Ferree and children, who probably sailed to New York within that same
2 CONC year
2 CONT 1709. Was Mary Heard's Faulkner grandfather the London coachman Jesse?

2 CONT MEMORIAL: "A Testimony from Bradford Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania,
2 CONT concerning Mary Pennel."
2 CONT She was born in Radnorshire, in Wales, and educated by her parents in
2 CONC the
2 CONT profession of the church of England. About the thirteenth year of her
2 CONC gqe,
2 CONT going with her elder sister to a meeting of friends, who wer sitting
2 CONC in awful
2 CONT silence, with tears dropping down the cheeks of divers, it made such
2 CONC religious
2 CONT impression on her tender mind, that she thereby became in some degree,
2 CONT convinced of the truth. About the sixteenth year of her age, she
2 CONC arrived in
2 CONT Pennsylvania, where living in a friend's family, and experiencing the
2 CONC renewed
2 CONT visits of truth, she became willing to come more closely under the
2 CONC discipline
2 CONT of the cross, and joined with friends; was married to John Pennel, and
2 CONC resided
2 CONT within the compass of Concord meeting many years. Being divers years
2 CONC under a
2 CONT weighty exercise to appear in public ministry, about the year 1722,
2 CONC she gave up
2 CONT thereto, and increasing in her gift, had in time, a refreshing
2 CONC edifying
2 CONT testimony; being well approved by her friends at home, and frequently
2 CONC led into
2 CONT the states of meetings where her lot was cast; in the exercise of the
2 CONC ministry
2 CONT she travelled into the eastern provinces, also into Great Britain and
2 CONC Ireland,
2 CONT where in divers places, she had acceptable service, to the
2 CONC strengthening some
2 CONT tender minds in the way and work of truth. Afterwards removing with
2 CONC her husband
2 CONT to East Caln, they resided there the remainder of their time; and
2 CONC several years
2 CONT before her decease, her understanding by reason of age, became weak,
2 CONC yet she
2 CONT was preserv'd in much innocency, having a love and regard to friends,
2 CONC and was
2 CONT always pleased with their visits.
2 CONT She died the 10th day of the fifth month 1764, and was interr'd in
2 CONC friends
2 CONT burying ground at East Caln aforesaid, aged eighty-six years.
2 CONT
2 CONT "An Additional Testmony concerning Mary pennel, by a friend from Great
2 CONT Britain."
2 CONT Having read the preceeding memorial, concerning our worthy deceased
2 CONC friend Mary
2 CONT Pennel, it is in my heart to make a small addition therto. In the
2 CONC course of her
2 CONT travels in England, she visited friends at Ipswich in Suffolk, and had
2 CONC good and
2 CONT acceptable service there, among a number of young persons who were
2 CONC newly
2 CONT convinced of the truth. Her conversation was solid and instructive,
2 CONC accompanied
2 CONT with sweetness of spirit, and having obtained to a considerable growth
2 CONC in
2 CONT experimental religion, she spoke in a feeling effectual manner to our
2 CONC inward
2 CONT states. At a certain time giving some account of her own convincement,
2 CONC she
2 CONT said,
2 CONT "In her very young days, she was a watchful observer of the conduct of
2 CONC friends
2 CONT at markets and public places, that she might see whether in their
2 CONC dealings they
2 CONT kept to the principle of truth, of which she was convinced; and seeing
2 CONC their
2 CONT words were few and favoury, their countenances and behaviour weighty,
2 CONC and that
2 CONT they were just and upright in their commerce amongst men, it had a
2 CONC great
2 CONT tendency to confirm and establish her mind in the truth she had
2 CONC embraced." I.H.

2 CONT Lantz, "Hollingsworth Lineage" and dated 26 Feb 1905, which has much
2 CONC the same
2 CONT account as William B. Hollingsworth's. In George Norbury MacKenzie,
2 CONC "Colonial
2 CONT Families of the United States of America 7-292-300, is a sketch of
2 CONT Hollingsworth which says he arrived "a few months after William Penn's
2 CONC arrival
2 CONT in the good ship "Welcome." Finally, Joseph Adger Stewart,
2 CONC "Descendants of
2 CONT Valentine Hollingsworth, Senior" (Louisville, Kentucky, 1925), p. 1,
2 CONC we read:
2 CONT "In 1682, Valentine Hollingsworth, Sr., and his family, accompanied by
2 CONC his
2 CONT son-in-law, Thomas Connaway, and by John Musgrave, an indent[ur]ed
2 CONC servant,
2 CONT sailed from Belfast for the Delaware River, arriving a few months
2 CONC after William
2 CONT Penn's arrival in the good ship "Welcome."
2 CONT
2 CONT As a matter of fact we find nobody actually saying that Valentine
2 CONC actually
2 CONT came on the "Welcome," but most of them somehow managing to mention
2 CONC the ship
2 CONT as if to allow some prestige to rub off on to Hollingsworth. It is
2 CONC generally
2 CONT believed that he did come, and such of his family as came with him,
2 CONC though
2 CONT not, as we have seen, his son Henry, on the ship "Antelope" which
2 CONC arrived on
2 CONT 10 10th mo. 1682 and brought at least one passenger from Ireland,
2 CONC namely,
2 CONT Ann Milcom of Armagh, Ireland, widow.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1735 during the dispute over the boundary with Maryland, testimony
2 CONC was given
2 CONT and recorded in the "Breviate" by Samuel Hollingsworth, son of
2 CONC Valentine, then
2 CONT aged 67, who said he had come to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1682.
2 CONT Likewise, John Musgrave, aged 73, gives the same year for his arrival
2 CONC and
2 CONT states that he was an indentured servant of Valentine Hollingsworth;
2 CONC that he
2 CONT lived for four years at New Castle; that he first saw William Penn in
2 CONC the year
2 CONT 1682 at Robert Wade's house in the town now called Chester in
2 CONC Pennsylvania. Now
2 CONT Penn was entertained at his arrival by Robert Wade, and if Musgrave,
2 CONC and his
2 CONT master Hollingsworth, had been on the "Welcome," they ought to have
2 CONC seen Penn
2 CONT at the start of the voyage at the very latest. We conclude that
2 CONC Hollingsworth
2 CONT and Musgrave arrived on a ship which preceded both the "Welcome" and
2 CONC the
2 CONT "Antelope."
2 CONT
2 CONT Valentine Hollingsworth, son of Henry and Katheran (_____)
2 CONC Hollingsworth of
2 CONT Ballyvickcrannell, Parish of Segoe, Co. Armagh, Ireland, was born
2 CONC there in
2 CONT 6th mo. 1632. When he was about 32 he purchased Ballyvickcrannell
2 CONC which had
2 CONT the following history: The plantation called Ballyworran was first
2 CONC granted
2 CONT to William Powell of Staffordsire, 13 June 1610. The Rev. Richard
2 CONC Rolleston
2 CONT or Roulsten pruchased this grant but was financially unable to keep
2 CONC it, and
2 CONT sold it to Richard Cope of Loughgall, Co. Armagh, who was the son of
2 CONC Sir
2 CONT Anthony Cope, knight, High Sheriff of Oxfordshire, who himself was one
2 CONC of
2 CONT the principal undertakers of Armagh. Richard Cope's son Anthony was
2 CONT regranted this property 20 Sept 1639, and it passed to the next in
2 CONC line,
2 CONT another Anthony Cope, who sold that part containing Ballyvickcrannell
2 CONC to
2 CONT Michael Harrison of magherleane, Co. antrim, 23 June 1662. Harrison
2 CONC deeded
2 CONT the 120 acres of Ballyvickcrannell by indenture made 22 Aug 1664, for
2 CONC ten
2 CONT pounds sterling ("Harrison & his Heirs to dig for and carry away any
2 CONC Mineral
2 CONT or Quarry"), to Valentine Hollingsworth, yeoman. The townland of
2 CONT Ballyvickcrannel thus became the farm of Hollingsworth by title. After
2 CONC he
2 CONT removed with his family to the Delaware River, it was sold, and it may
2 CONC be
2 CONT that when his son Henry returned to ireland in 1688 he came as much to
2 CONC sell
2 CONT his father's property as to marry his sweetheart Lydia Atkinson. There
2 CONC was
2 CONT in 1688 a suit between Valentine Hollingworth and Henry Jenney. Other
2 CONC later
2 CONT deeds prove that the Jenney or Janney family were in possession of
2 CONT Ballyvickcrannell.
2 CONT
2 CONT Ballyvickcrannell is a rural area a few miles east of the town of
2 CONC Portadown,
2 CONT which was founded by the Obins or Obbyns family in the early part of
2 CONC the
2 CONT seventeenth century. Early in the life of Valentine there was an
2 CONC outbreak of
2 CONT violence in this part of Ireland, and the English residents were badly
2 CONT treated by the native Irish. Many were murdered, many went back to
2 CONC England
2 CONT and never returned. The period was turbulent for many years.
2 CONT
2 CONT Some time in the 1660s Valentine Hollingsworth became a devoted member
2 CONC of
2 CONT Lurgan Monthly Meeting. He had his family records entered into the
2 CONC books of
2 CONT that meeting. William Stockdale's "A Great Cry of Oppression" contains
2 CONC eight
2 CONT references to Hollingsworth's sufferings, deprivation of goods or
2 CONC stock as
2 CONT payment for tithes to the English church in the period 1672-1681.
2 CONT
2 CONT Perhaps to escape persecution, he requested a certificate of removal
2 CONC to
2 CONT Pennsylvania, and this was granted at the meeting of 25 5th mo. 1682
2 CONC [July].
2 CONT
2 CONT Valentine Hollingsworth married, first, on 7 June 1655, Ann Ree,
2 CONC daughter of
2 CONT Nicholas and Ann (____) Ree of Tanderagee, Co. Armagh, and by her had
2 CONC four
2 CONT children; second, 12 4th mo. 1672, in Friends Meeting House, Co.
2 CONC Armagh,
2 CONT Ann Calvert, born Nov. 1650, at Kilwarling, Co. Down, daughter of
2 CONC Thomas and
2 CONT Jane (____) Calvert of Drumgor, parish of Seagoe, Co. Armagh. Ann's
2 CONT grandfather, John Calvert, came from Great Moorsholm alias Moresome
2 CONC near
2 CONT Guisborough, in North Riding, Yorkshire, to Legacory, Co. Armagh,
2 CONC before
2 CONT 1617.
2 CONT
2 CONT As stated above, the ship on which the Hollingsworths crossed the
2 CONC ocean was
2 CONT one which arrived before either the Welcome or the Antelope.
2 CONT
2 CONT Valentine Hollingsworth died about 1711 and was buried at Newark,
2 CONC Delaware.
2 CONT
2 CONT NOTES: Although this sketch owes much to Mr. Henry Hollingsworth of
2 CONT Inglewood, Calif., the sketch of Valentine Hollingsworth in his
2 CONT "Hollingsworth Register 5:87-100 appeared too late for use in this
2 CONC book.
2 CONT
2 CONT The account of the connection with the Cornishes is, of course,
2 CONC entirely
2 CONT without validity and contains insuperable chronological difficulties.
2 CONC On
2 CONT this see MIQ 311-316.
2 CONT
2 CONT Additional notes, are primarily bibliographical sources that I've
2 CONC already
2 CONT cited.
2 CONT
2 CONT Final note: he settled on a large plantation of nearly a thousand
2 CONC acres on
2 CONT Shelpot creek in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle (now Delaware) co., PA
2 CONC about
2 CONT 5 miles northeast of the present city of Wilmington, and not far from
2 CONC Port
2 CONT Christian, or Christiana of the Swedes. "Not long thereafter a monthly
2 CONT meeting was established, the sessions being mainly held at
2 CONC Hollingsworth's
2 CONT House. In 1687, he granted "unto friends for a burying place half an
2 CONC acre of
2 CONT land for ye purpose, there being already friends buried in the spot."
2 CONC The
2 CONT section in Question soon became known as the "New Worke" or "New Ark,"
2 CONC now
2 CONT the city of Newark, Delaware."

2 CONT Robert Owen, of Dolserey, near Dolgelley, second son of Humphrey Owen.
2 CONC He had
2 CONT been a captain under Cromwell, and was Governor of Beaumaris castle,
2 CONC under the
2 CONT Protectorate, and a Justice of the Peace. About 1660 he joined the
2 CONC Society of
2 CONT Friends, and was frequently fined and imprisoned, once for ten years,
2 CONC on
2 CONT account of his refusal to comply with the Acts of Parliament then in
2 CONC force. In
2 CONT 1684, being then quite aged, he removed, with his wife Jane and sons,
2 CONC Dr.
2 CONT Griffith Owen, who had been practising medicine in England, and Lewis
2 CONC Owen, to
2 CONT the Province of Pennsylvania. They sailed ont he ship "Vine," Captain
2 CONC Presson,
2 CONT master, which arrived at Philadelphia (or more probably Chester), 17
2 CONC Sept.
2 CONT 1684, and proceeded to Duck Creek, New Castle County, then in
2 CONC Pennsylvania, but
2 CONT now in Delaware, where another son, Edward, had already settled. With
2 CONC his son
2 CONT Lewis, he appears as witness to a deed dated there, in 1685, and a
2 CONC commission
2 CONT of Justice of the Peace and County Courts had been prepared for him in
2 CONT anticpation of his coming.
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert and Jane Owen were very old people at the time of their arrival
2 CONC and died
2 CONT within a few days of each other, 1685-6, at Duck Creek. There are
2 CONC several
2 CONT sketches of their lives in various volumes of Friends' "Memorials";
2 CONC but of
2 CONT these, one in print and another in MS., both written long after the
2 CONC decease of
2 CONT this couple, confuse them with Robert Owen and Rebecca his wife, who
2 CONC settled in
2 CONT Merion township, near Philadelphia, in 1690, and died 1697, and whose
2 CONC pedigree
2 CONT is given in "Merion," and in vol. ii. of this work. (See "Testimony"

2 CONC mention'd,
2 CONT and Jane his wife.":
2 CONT
2 CONT "When I think of former times and days that are over and gone, wherein
2 CONC the Lord
2 CONT visited a remnant by the gathering hand of his power, in the land of
2 CONC our
2 CONT nativity, to wait for the renewing of his love from one meeting to
2 CONC another, to
2 CONT our great refreshment and daily encouraement, to run our race through
2 CONC many
2 CONT trials within and without: The Lord whom we waited for, hath been the
2 CONC strength
2 CONT of his people in this our age and genertion, as in all by past ages.
2 CONC So the
2 CONT remembrance of those days and times, and that near fellowship which
2 CONC was between
2 CONT the little remnant in that part of the country, is at present brought
2 CONC to my
2 CONT view; tho' most of the ancients that bore the heat of the day are now
2 CONC removed,
2 CONT yet methinks their names and worthy acts should be had in remembrance,
2 CONC that
2 CONT genertions to come might see and understand, by what instruments the
2 CONC Lord was
2 CONT pleased to carry on his work, by making a clear discovery of the good
2 CONC way once
2 CONT lost in the night of apostacy; amongst whom were my dear friends
2 CONC Robert Owen
2 CONT and jane his wife. An altho' we are not to set up or praise that in
2 CONC man or
2 CONT woman which perisheth, but because they made choice of the better and
2 CONC most
2 CONT durable substance, therefore their names shall be had in remembrance.
2 CONT
2 CONT He was decended of a very ancient and (according to the worlds
2 CONC account) one of
2 CONT the greatest families in those parts, having by his fther a competent
2 CONT inheritance, and in all his time had the right hand among his equals;
2 CONC brought
2 CONT up a scholar, quick in apprehension, and whatever he took in hand he
2 CONC did it
2 CONT with all his might. he was zealously devoted to religion, and a great
2 CONC searcher
2 CONT for the pearl of great price; being one of the first in our parts who
2 CONC fought
2 CONT after it; and having found it, he sold all to purchase the fame.
2 CONT
2 CONT After King Charles II came to the crown, he suffered five years close
2 CONT imprisonment, for not taking the oath of allegiance and supremacy,
2 CONC being
2 CONT confined at the town of Dolgelly, in Merionthshire, North Wales,
2 CONC within about a
2 CONT mile from his dwelling house, to which he was not permitted to go
2 CONC during the
2 CONT said time: And it was observed, that the person who had the greatest
2 CONC hand in
2 CONT prosecuting him, was visited with sickness, when remorse of conscience
2 CONC seized
2 CONT so hard upon him, that he could find neither rest nor ease, until he
2 CONC sent a
2 CONT special messenger to release him.
2 CONT
2 CONT And concerning his wife Jane Owen. She was daughter of a justice of
2 CONC peace, a man
2 CONT of great integrity and exceeding most of his rank at that time. She
2 CONC was a woman
2 CONT rarely endowed with many natural gifts, being an help-meet to her
2 CONC husband in
2 CONT his exercises, solid in her deportment, and given to many words. In
2 CONC all their
2 CONT execises together for the truth's sake, they did not shrink nor give
2 CONC way for
2 CONT fear or falttery; not only their hearts, but their house was open to
2 CONC all upon
2 CONT truth's account; meetings being held therein for many years. They were
2 CONT serviceable in their places and much beloved in their native land,
2 CONC where having
2 CONT borne their share of the heat of the day, they embark'd therfrom in
2 CONC the fifth
2 CONT month 1690 [actually came on "Vine" in 1684], and came into
2 CONC Pennsylvania, where
2 CONT they finished their course, and were buried within a few days of each
2 CONC other."

1 NOTE !BIOGRAPHY: George E. McCracken, THE WELCOME CLAIMANTS PROVED,
2 CONC DISPROVED AND
2 CONT DOUBTFUL; pub. by the Welcome Society of Pennsylvania, 1985. Page
2 CONC 249-250: In
2 CONT 1735 during the dispute over the boundary with Maryland, testimony was
2 CONC given
2 CONT and recorded in the "Breviate" by Samuel Hollingsworth, son of
2 CONC Valentine, then
2 CONT age 67, who said he had come to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1682.
2 CONC Likewise,
2 CONT John Musgrave, aged 73, gives the same year for his arrival and states
2 CONC that he
2 CONT was an indentured servant of Valentine Hollingsworth; that he lived
2 CONC for four
2 CONT years at New Castle; that he first saw William penn in the year 1682
2 CONC at Robert
2 CONT Wade's house in the town now called Chester in pennsylvania. Now penn
2 CONC was
2 CONT entertained at his arrival by Robert Wade, and if Musgrave, and his
2 CONC master
2 CONT Hollingsworth, had been on the "Welcome," they ought to have seen Penn
2 CONC at the
2 CONT start of the voyage at the very latest. We conclude tht Hollingsworth
2 CONC and
2 CONT Musgrave arrived on a ship which preceded both the "Welcome" and the
2 CONT "Antelope."
2 CONT
2 CONT RESIDENCES: Since Valentine Hollingsworth was from Ballyvickcrannel,
2 CONC Parish
2 CONT Segoe, co. Armagh, Ireland, we have to assume that John Musgrave was
2 CONC probably
2 CONT from the same place.

2 CONC Valentine
2 CONT Hollingsworth, in 1682, and served his time for four years in New

2 CONT
2 CONT Page 159: The first of the Irish Friends to settle in what is now

2 CONC the son
2 CONT 300 acres. (Penna. Archives, 2d Series, XIX, 561, 569, 637, 708.) John
