Passengers & Ships Prior to 1684 - Penn's Colony   Gene Pennington Here is an abstract of Pennington & Penington names and their records from a great research book that is in the Pennington Research Association's Research Library (soon to be shipped to the new Library/Archive at Earlham College). I found them to be very interesting.

Daniel Wharley, London woolen draper and merchant, was not a passenger on the Welcome. He carried on an

extensive trade with the West Indies, and had married Mary Penington, half-sister of William Penn's first wife.

PMHB, XXI (1897), 11n: Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd Series, XIX, 730. The mill he sent was probably that set up in

Chester Co. by Richard Townsend, and which Caleb Pusey operated. See Smith, Delaware County, 147. RICHARD

TOWNSEND, carpenter of London and F.P. of 250 acres, with his wife Ann and daughter Hannah, were passengers, although they shipped no dutiable goods. He came in as a salaried employee of the Free Society of Traders, and

brought with him three indentured servants of his own: WILLIAM SMITH, NATHANIEL HARRISON, and

BARTHOLOMEW GREEN, each to serve him seven years. PMHB, VIII 339.

Daniel Wharley, woolen draper of London, married Mary Pennington, "ye younger," of the Woodside, Parish of Agmondsham, Buckinhamshire. She was a F.P. of 1250 acres, but neither of them ever came to Pennsylvania, and Wharley bought no land in his own right until 1695 when he purchased 3OOO acres from Penn "between Delaware and Swquehanna." Pennsylvania Archive" 2nd Series, XIX, 443, 730.

Warrants for survey were issued for John Pennington & Co. 8 and 13 7m 1683. John Pennington (1655-1710), eldest son of Isaac and Mary Pennington, and step-brother of Penn's first wife Gulielma Maria Springett, was a F.P. of 1250 acres, but did not emigrate. Since he was of Buckinghamshire, the John Pennington who shipped goods on the Friendship, may have been another of the same name. Pennsylvania Archives, 3rd Series II, 767; PMHB, LXX (1946), 358.

In addition to the properties shown above in the rights of John West and Benjamin East, the Norris papers contain the original of another warrant, dated 5 8ber 1701, from William Penn to Daniel Street, granting him 500 acres in right of John West, purchaser of 1250 acres, "who in his last will and testament devised same to his grandchildren, the children of Hannah his daughter, present wife of Daniel Street. ...These caused to be surveyed to the said Daniel Street. To Edward Pennington, surveyor."
