Misc. Notes
Wynne came to America in 1682 with William Penn in the ship “Welcome,” and probably returned to England with Penn in the “Endeavour,” since in December 1684 he was arrested in London with 23 others for Quaker activity. He returned to Pennsylvania and built a mansion near Lewes (now Delaware).
165From Colonial Families of the United States of America, Vol. III, p. 48:

Text: p.347 WYNNE, Mr. Lloyd's MSS. include a large number of notes connected with his researches in re the parentage and ancestry of Dr. Thomas Wynne; but at the time of his death no conclusion had been reached. A tentative pedigree typewritten, found among his papers, is marked as incorrect, and there is a note to the effect that further search had been abandoned, because of the difficulty in identifying the many persons named Thomas Wynne, who were contempory with the Pennsylvania settler. The search was subsequently undertaken for Richard Y. Cook, Esq., of Philadelphia, and the results, which were published under the title of "Ancestry of Dr. Thomas Wynne," Dr. Thomas Wynne was born at Bron Vadog, near Caerwys, and baptized at Bodfari 20 July, 1627, being the second son of Thomas ap John Wynne, of Bron Vadog.
A tradition long existed among Dr. Wynne's descendants that he was nearly related to the famous family of Wynn of Gwydir. The relationship, which was through intermarriage, is shown on a chart under Williams, a portion of which was compiled from material fround among the Lloyd Mss.

Penn probably did not put this list together until late October, arranging the sales in the cataloge in 10,000 acre blocks, primarily by the area of England from which the purchasers came. Although he did not enter any dates of purchase in the cataloge, he may have listed the sales made in each area of Britian approximately in the order in which they were made. These considerations leave open the question of whether Nathaniel Allen was placed at the head of the Bristol purchasers because of the date of his purchase, or because Penn had appointed him a commissioner. Compare the deeds prepared for Thoams Callowhill, William Lane, and Edward Martindale, of Bristol and for John ap John and Thomas Wynne of Wales (Micro. 3.282, 305, 307, and 308) with the entries for these men in the first catalogue (Roach, "First Purchasers," pp 200, 202).,

Sally's mother, Lowry Jones, was a birthright Friend. Her father, Daniel Wister, became a Quaker "by Request" shortly before their marriage, which was by Pennsylvania License dated 5 May 1760, and not by "Friends ceremony" as Mr. Myers states in his introduction. Lowry Jones was a descendant of Thomas Wynne who came to Pennsylvania with William Penn on the "Welcome" in 1682. The references that Mr. Myers gives for young Sallys' "royal descent" hardly meet current genealogical standards. Madelene Howland

They are said to have arrived on 13 August 1682, having been "abroad eleaven weeks before we made the land, (it was not for want of art, but contrary winds) and one we were in coming to Upland," as Edward Jones wrote back to his co-purchaser, John ap Thomas.

Text: Identification of Lt. Thomas Wynne of the Flying Camp, 1776, pg 100, Jonathan Wynne's will, probated 17 May 1721, bequeathed the land in Blockley to his eldest son Thomas, 250 acres "near the Great Valley in the County of Chester"??.. To his two eldest daughters, Mary and Hannah, he bequeathed a lot of land in the High (Market) Street, Philadelphia, 60 feet front and 300 feet in length, a bonus to which he had laid claim in right of Dr. Wynne's original purchase.[8] (NOTE- RNT : This is Jonathan only son of Dr. Thomas Wynne) ??. The crucial year was 1734: in that year William Branson and Samuel Nutt, ironmasters, petitioned the Penn Board of Property to secure "the Land called Wynns for which they [the Wynnes] have but little or no right?" This may have been the prod that set the Wynne heirs in motion, for in that same year there appears on the Nantmel assessment for the first time the name of Jonathan Wynne [Jr.] and that of his brother-in-law Noah Abraham, who had married Mary Wynne, heiress to the lot in High Street.[9] It was four years later that Noah Abraham and his wife Mary visited Philadelphia to sell her High Street lot [10] and to secure a warrant to survey 300 acres in Nantmel Township. James Steel wrote to John Taylor 6 Dec 1738 that he was doubtful about the warrant to Noah Abraham, that "the warrant would not avail [Page 101] if the Lands were not Vacant & clear of all former Surveys? [but] ?. N. Abraham affirmed the land was vacant." Both Noah Abraham 11 and Jonathan Wynne (Jr) 12 secured warrants and surveys for Nantmel land, Noah's 215 acres patented in 1751, and Jonathan's 188 acres in 1774.

Pg 9. "step-daughters of Dr. Thomas Wynne, Rebecca Winn and Marjory and Jane Mede. Hannah Logan Smith commits an error when she states that Elizabeth, the second wife of Thomas Wynne, came in this ship with their children, for as her name does not appear in the list of passengers, it is fair to presume she came with her husband in the "Welcome" This mistake could be easily made when we consider that the vessels made the voyage at the same time. Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Wynne, married first Solomon Thomas, and Secondly John Dickinson. Marjory Mede, his step daughter, married Thomas Fisher (whose descendants are numerous), and Jane Mede married and died probably without surviving children. From the Bucks County Friends Record it would appear that Robert Bond died seventh month, sixteenth, 1684; that Jane Lyon married Richard Lundy fourth month twenty fourth, 1691 and that Phoebe Blackshaw became the wife of Joseph Kirkbride.....P.10 Shows a list of passengers and says "The Passengers names & ages & number as -- near as cold be well taken." in the section labeled "From Wales" Ellis Jones 45, Barbary Jones 13, Mary Jones 12 1/2, Rebeckah Winn 20, Marjory Mede 11 1/2, Jane Jones 40, Dorothy Jones 10, Isaac Jones (4 months), Jane Mede.,
38. Title: Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, VOL. VIII, The Humphreys Family
Text: , p. 124-126 Part One, Daniel Humphreys, in 1682, his father being dead five years, came to this country. He carried with him a certificate of good charactor from the Quarterly Meeting in Wales. In the following year, 1683, he was followed by his widowed mother, Elizabeth, with her remaining children, and they all settled in the Township of Haverford, the name Haverford beign derived from Aber Ford, which means above the ford or above the confluence of streams. The Township in South Wales which bears that name had a castle dating back as far as 1113, which was visited by Bishop Baldwin in the year 1152, so it appears that they were people of substance and character as well as of achievement. Daniel welcomed his mother, his brothers and his sisters and established them about seven miles west of our City Hall Pg 125 To get the exact position in your minds; go directly south of Ardmore and strike the Haverford Road; turn down to the left and find this old pebble dashed house standing on the north side of Cobb's Creek, below the new Golf Grounds which have been placed there in recent years. Daniel married Mary, the daughter of Thomas Wynne, the first Speaker of the First Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania and the ancestor of Hugh Wynne, about whom Doctor S. Weir Mitchell has written charmingly. He built a very substantial house, long known as "The Mansion House." of brick and of stone with a hipped roof, with windows scattered about in very irregular fashion, with small glass panes in leaden frames. That house stayed in the possession of the family until 1810, when Dennis Kelly, a miller, who had mills along the line of Cobb's Creek, purchased it, and about the year 1860 or 1862 the house was torn down and that memorial of the Humphreys family vanished. Daniel and Mary had six or seven children. One of them, Edward, was particularly distinguished as a doctor, who practiced physics and surgery with much success and public approval. He left no descendants. Before alluding to the son who carried the line down into the next generation, which is the one on which I particularly wish to dwell, let me call your attention to another childless son of Daniel who reached great distinction, a man of high integrity, character and purpose, free from the arts of the politician, but, differing in judgment from many of his countryman, abruptly terminated his public career. I refer to Charles Humphreys, who in 1763 was chosen a member of the Provincial Assembly and remained such until 1776.,
