From the Wilmslow Parish area of CHESHIRE came many members of the
JANNEY and BURGESS family in the 1680s, Thomas Janney and family went to
BUCKS CO, as did most of the BURGESS immigrants. Also from Wilmslow, Styal
in Pownall Fee township of Wilmslow Parish to be precise, came three PEARSON
brothers, Thomas, John and Edward. Thomas and John PEARSON came aboard the
ENDEAVOUR in 1683. Edward and his family came four years later. Edward,
whose name was often spelled PIERSON, spent the first year or two in Darby,
Chester County, and then moved on to BUCKS County. His wife Sarah was a
BURGESS, and they were probably drawn to Bucks by the fact that several of
Sarah's brothers went there and did well.
Thomas PEARSON was married to Margery SMITH, daughter of Robert & Ellen
WILLIAMSON SMITH of Styal. Her sister Mary SMITH was also aboard the
ENDEAVOUR. Another sister, Ellen Smith COPPOCK, came to Chester County, and
a brother, John Smith, came to Bucks County in the 1680s, but I cannot give
the years offhand.
In 1681-1683 Robert and Mary HAYES TAYLOR along with 7-9 children, came
from Clatterwick in Great Budworth, Cheshire, to Chester County. Mary and
most of the children were aboard the ENDEAVOUR, but Robert and two of the
children came a year or two earlier.
John and Mary WILLIAMSON HOWELL came aboard the ENDEAVOUR with their three
daughters. Mary was from Stretton, daughter of Robert Williamson,
Wheelwright. Her 17-year old brother Daniell Williamson was also on the
ENDEAVOUR, ostensibly an indentured servant to Robert Taylor's family. He
later married the Mary Smith mentioned above and was cuckolded by one of the
Taylors (Josiah, to be specific) of Clatterwick.
Another gang of folk from Cheshire and adjacent areas of Lancashire and
Staffordshire came in 1682 aboard the SUBMISSION. They included BLACKSHAWs,
PEMBERTONs, HARRISONs, and others. Many of them ended up in Philadelphia
rather than Chester County.
All of the people I have mentioned were QUAKERS.
A lot of very similar people came to New Castle County, Delaware,
immediately adjacent to Chester County, PA. John & Henry GRUBB (Quakers)
came from Cornwall aboard the Kent in 1677. Richard BUFFINGTON, probably a
Quaker, came from Buckinghamshire to the same area at about the same time.
He and John Grubb engaged in some joint business ventures, and one of
Grubb's daughters married one of Buffington's sons.
Is this the kind of information you wanted?
