Hough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania



Many of the HOUGH (pronounced HUFF) families in America today, have a source in one of three Seventeenth Century immigrants, all from Cheshire, England, and probably closely related.



1. William Hough b 1619 at West Chester, Cheshire, England, son of Edward and Ann Hough. He arrived at Green’s Harbor, near Plymouth, Mass. With a company led by the Rev. Richard Blinman, moved in May, 1642, to Gloucester on Cape Ann where on October 28, 1645 he married Sarah Caulkins.



2. Richard Hough “the Emigrant” b c 1650 in Macclesfield, Cheshire, arriving at Philadelphia on the “Endeavor” September 28, 1683 (it had sailed from Liverpool), he obtained several Patents from William Penn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he lived and died in May 1705.



3. John Hough b c 1660 at Hough, Cheshire, England, arrived in Philadelphia in November, 1683, with his wife Hannah and son John. He also settled in Bucks County.



In addition to the three prime progenitors above, there were in Bucks County several others whose descendants have been elusive or non-existent:



4. Samuel Hough, b c 1665 in Cheshire, came to Philadelphia on the “Endeavor” as an indentured servant of John Clowes, September 1683.



5. Thomas Hough, also from Cheshire, who came to Bucks County as an indentured servant of John Hough (above) on the “Friendship”, November 1683.



6. Francis Hough, another native of Cheshire, who also came on the “Endeavor” as indentured servant to Richard Hough (above).



7. Michael Hough (generally spelled HUFF) also believed to have been from Cheshire, is thought to have arrived in America on the “John and Sarah”, which left England in August 1681, making him the earliest of the Bucks County arrivals.



It has been carelessly claimed that William of Ct, Richard and John of Bucks County, Pennsylvania were all sons of Edward, which, of course, is an impossibility, Richard and John being born over thirty years after William. Further, Richard did have a brother, John b1648, who remained in Macclesfield, Cheshire, thus eliminating John of the “Friendship” as his brother.



Richard Hough, like many of his fellow passengers was a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers) and brought with him his removal certificate from the Congleton Meeting, dated 2 May 1683. Richard married Margery Clowes (father John Clowes) on March 17, 1684 in Bucks County.



The following people were witnesses at the wedding:



John Clowes

Margery Clowes

Rebecca Clowes

Thomas Janney

William Yardley

Jane Yardley

Andrew Ellet

James Harrison

Ann Harrison

William Beakes

Wlliam Beakes Junior

Stephen Beakes

Hi All,



I am new to this emailing system. I am researching Yardleys in Cheshire.



Particularly in Moulton, Davenham, Over, Winsford, Poole, Castle Norwich,



Northwich and Nantwich.



Yardley is my direct line however, other families: Toyser, Williams, Latham, Antrobus, Armatage, Breezer, Lyons, Jones and Walker.



The timeline mainly 1814 to 1900s.



From ~1890 to 1930, some Yardleys went to India, mainly with the British Army. Married into Gibbs, Woodward, Dashwood families. In the areas of Madras, Mysore, Nasik, Bangalore. Relatives are living in these area today and some emigrated to Papua New Guinea and Australia.



Any information would be grateful received and if I can help in the areas I am involved, I will be only too happy to help.



Kind regards

Tibs Yardley-Latham
