"The author claims many of the Welsh Quakers were of gentry of considerable means, a claim that could well be disputed. They appear to have come from the same economic and social level as the rest of the Quakers: merchants, tradesmen, and yeomen of quite modest means, a sprinkling of well to do (few of whom emigrated), and an occasional member of minor gentry. The truth concerning the so-called Welsh barony, discussed here by the author, will probably never be known. "Many [Welsh] arrived in the Colony before him [Penn] and others came on the ship that brought the great entrepreneur." The only two Welshmen known to have been aboard the "Welcome" with Penn were Dr. Thomas Wynne, and one Thomas Jones, servant of Thomas Herriot (not the Thomas Jones, gent., identified by Browning). Joshua Morris may or may not have been Welsh. If the professor can identify others, it would be a matter of great interest to "The Welcome Society of Pennsylvania. Only forty are known to have arrived before Penn - those on the Lyon of Liverpool, led by Dr. Edward Jones, Thomas Wynne's son in law. The bulk of the Welsh arrived in the ensuing years. This reviewer has not heard before that "between 1682 and 1700 authorities agree that the Welsh were the most numerous body of immigrants arriving in Pennsylvania" (p. 44). What authorities? Does the professor mean that after the English the Welsh were the most numerous? - this book review was written by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr.

Text: From the beginning of its history Philadelphia has been distinguished as a medical center. The first practising physician in the province appears to have been Dr. John Goodson, "Chirurgeon to the Society of Free Traders." who settled at Upland but later moved to Philadelphia. In 1682 there arrived with Penn on the ship Welcome two physicians, Dr. Thomas Wynne and Dr. Griffith Owen, who were Welsh gentlemen of character and professional standing. Prior to 1730 most of the physicians in the colony were Welshmen, including such men as Edward Jones, Lloyd Zachary, Cadwalader Evans, and Thomas Cadwalader; later there were Thomas Bond, Phineas Bond and Judah Foulke.
In 1717 Dr. John Kearsley and Dr. Thomas Graeme arrived. Dr. Kearsley was eminent not only as a physician but also as the architect of Christ Church; and Dr. Graeme, a Scotchman of fine education, was also a naval officer for the port of Philadelphia. The physicians of the colonial era did not restrict themselves to the practice of their profession, but were public-spirited men of wide interests and influence. Thus, Dr. Thomas Wynne was president of the first assembly province; Dr. Griffith Owen was a member of the assembly, deputy master of the rolls, and commissioner of property; and Dr. Benjamin Rush was a member of the Continental congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Largely through the efforts of Dr. Thomas Bond, aided by Franklin and the Quakers, the Pennsylvania Hospital was founded in 1751, the first institution of its kind in America.

Text: Wynne, Thomas, physician and jurist, was born in Caerwys, Flintshire, North Wales about 1630, son of Peter Wynne and grandson of Sir John Wynne. He practised medicine and was physician to William Penn, the two becoming warm friends. Dr. Wynne early became a Quaker and a minister and writer of that denomination. His position enabled him to exert much influence in alleviating the sufferings of Friends throught persecution. In 1682 he was a leader of a Welsh group which bought the so-called "Welsh Tract" near Philadelphia, Pa., and came over about the same time as Mr. Penn, arriving at Upland or Chester, Dec. 4, 1682. He was apparently speaker of the first assembly there, and was speaker of the following assembly, the first one to be held in Philadelphia which adopted the charter or constitution of 1683. On this account in Philadelphia main street (now Market) was named for him. He appears to have returned to London with Penn for a short time, and was imprisoned for attending a Quaker funeral. On his return in 1684 he settled on his estate in Lewes Del., and became a judge of its courts for some years. He was also an expert surveyor. In 1688, when Pennsylvania and the "Lower Counties" or Delaware, were still united he became a member of assembly, in which he was chairman of most of the important committees and in 1690 he was commissioned a judge of the provincial supreme court of the two provinces. In 1691 he again settled in Philadelphia. He was Author of "The Antiquity of the Quakers" (1677 and 1678), and "An Anti-Christian conspiracy" He was twice married, first about 1655 in Wrexham to Martha Buttall, and after her death a later wife was Mrs. Elizabeth Rowden, a widow. He headed a line of celebrated colonial physicians -Dr. Edward Jones, a son-in-law, Dr. Evan Jones, a grandson, Dr. John Jones, great grandson, and Dr. Caspar Wistar another desendant. His granddaughter was the wife of John Caldwalder the founder of that family in America. Judge Wynne died 5/16/1692.

On 9, 11th mo. 1682/3 he was one of four to plan building the first Philadelphia Meetin House. He probably returned to England with William Penn in the "Endeavour" for he was in London in December 1684 and arrested with twenty-three others while on his way to the meeting at White-Hart Court.
Just when Dr. Wynne returned to Pennsylvania is unknown but he erected a mansion near Lewes, now in Delaware.

An extremely cold December 1683 and January added to the economic gloom. An unusually sharp reaction by Penn and his Council to some suggestions offered by one Anthony Weston, however, showed how tense were the times. The official record gives no specifics, but Weston, with a number of original purchasers he "mett at Tho. Hootens," drew "up Proposalls.. which..were mended by Tho. Wynn," and which "Jno. songhurst, Jno. Parsons, Tho. Duckett and others, whould stand to." Not only were these summarily rejected as being "of great presumption and Contempt of this Government and authority," but Weston, as the instigator, was ordered to "be Whypt at ye Market place on Market daye three times, Each time to have Tenn Lashes, at 12 of the Clock at noone, this being the first day." Wynne was "reproved for doeing of the same" and the "Freemen that Subscribed to Antho. Weston's proposalls" had "to give for their good behaviour to ye governmt" a bond of fifty pounds "till such tyme as ye geneall Assembly shall next sett." The incident also prompted the Council to speed the completion of the town prison, a "Cage... 7 foot high, 7 foot long & 5 foot broad."
Most offenses had earthier qualities. Three weeks after he started the "Blew Anker" inn, Griffith Jones and Thomas Wynne, both Justices of the Peace, were charged with selling "drink & strong Liquors by Retail & suffer it to be drunk in their houses without a License, contrare to ye 40th Law of this Province." Five others were also presented in March 1683. Weston and his wife were fined for the same infraction, but he petitioned Council in November 1683 for a remittance, which was granted, but hers was not. Drunkenness, larceny, profanity, assault and battery, breach of peace, morals offenses, "selling rum to the Indians." speaking disrespectfully of the magistrates, and breaking the Sabbath were the grist for judicial mills. Still rank had no privileges,

Justice Luke Watson, of Sussex County, was twice fined in 1684 for "Smoaking tobacco in the Court house"; each time, poetically enough the fine was levied in tobacco. Another justice was fined five shillings for swearing. In 1686 Justice James Claypoole was indicted by a Philadelphia grand jury "for endeavoring by an indirect way to preposses Judge Moore in a cast yt was to be tred before him int he provinciall court, being by us lookt upon to be of a dangerous Consequence," and "for menacing and abusing ye jurors in ye triall of John Moon which was an infringement of ye rights and properties of ye people." The entire County Court of Philadelphia was fined L40 "for giving judgment against law" when it presumed to hear a case involving a tract of land in Bucks County, which was clearly outside its jurisdiction. A shipmaster denied charges of brutality against passengers, admitting only that he kicked a maid "for spilling a chamber vessel upon the deck; otherwise he was very kind to them."
30. Title: The Parennial Philadelphians, The Anatomy of an American Aristocracy, Nathanial Burt, pub. 1963, Part II, Chap. 1 Medicine, Pg 102-104
Text: A group of Welsh Quaker practitioners, leaders in the Welsh Barony, can be considered the founders of Philadelphia medicine, both scientifically and socially. Of these, Thomas Lloyd was the first, chronologically and in importance. A Welshman, himself, one of the few really upper-class converts to Quakerism for this was a religion that appealed primarily to artisans rather than to the gentry. Lloyd brought with him a coat of arms of many quarterings, if not a genealogy straight from God like the Cadwaladers. After he arrived in America, he was too busy with politics and with the administration of the affairs of his friend Penn to do much actual practicing; but he still was a doctor, and as he was also probably the leading citizen of Pennsylvania, the combination was thought seemly.
Dr. Thomas Wynne was another, though less weighty, Quaker medical leading citizen. His claims to both medicine and gentility, unlike Dr. Lloyd's were a bit suspect. His title of Doctor was assumed. He had not studied at the University like Lloyd, but was merely a self-taught "Barber-surgeon", though evidently a capable one. His coat of arms he had casually borrowed from the deceased first husband of this third wife; surely a remote family connection. However, in the New World people weren't too particular, and he grew into his pretensions easily. His children, like those of Lloyd married properly, and what is more married medically. Dr. Edward Jones, an equally Welsh doctor of the early settlement, married a daughter of Dr. Wynne, and from them might be said to have descended Philadelphia medicine. It was Edward's son Evan who taught nephew Thomas Cadwalader his first rudiments; a Dr. John Jones, great-grandson of Dr. Wynne, became a famous surgeon, wrote the first American treatise on the subject, taught and practiced in New York at the infant King's College, and finally returned home to Philadelphia where he ended as the friend Physician and confidant of both Franklin and Washington

Text: p. 39-43, The Welcome put to sea on August 30, a stout vessel of three hundred tons, one of the larger of the transatlantic fleet carrying settlers to Penn's province, but dwarfed by high-castled men-of-war such as Admiral Penn had commanded. Still she was heavier than the 180-ton Mayflower, which had sailed with the same number of passengers - about one hundred- to Cape Cod in 1620. The Welcome had a smooth crossing, although smallpox broke out and thirty people were buried at sea. ... As the ship approached Delaware Bay and landfall was made, he noted, "that day six weeks they lost sight of land in England they saw it again in America; and being about twelve leagues off from the coast the air smelled as sweet as a garden new blown." The welcome had other cause of joy. On October 24, "almost within sight of the Capes of the Delaware," Evan Oliver and his wife Jean, had a baby dau. whom they christened Seaborn; and as the ship came into the bay, Anne Townsend, wife of Richard, had a son, more prosaically named James.... The Welcome made the trip in average time. By December 1682, Penn said sweepingly, "of twenty-three ships none miscarried, only two or three had the small-pox, else healthy and swift passages, generally such as have not been known, some but twenty-eight days and few longer than five weeks...Oct.24, 1682, was Penn's thirty-eighth birthday. On the 27th the Welcome dropped anchor off of New Castle, a trim little town of 200 buildings, dominated by the two story log courthouse and the small fourt. Word was sent ashore to John Moll and Ephraim Herman, the Duke of York's representatives. Herman was absent, but Moll rowed out, inspected Penn's papers and arranged for him to take possession the following day. The ceremony had all the solemn formalities of seisin, as the English Common law termed "possession", so cherished by the ceremonial British".

Griffith Jones, a newly appointed Justice of the Peace, imported the same year 15,000 bricks and tiles, some of which would be used to face the "blew Anker" inn he acquired from William Dare. Twenty separate shipments of dutiable window glass, two of which contained "window lead", came the first year, and in 1683 nineteen more shipments arrived along with some "old iron casements". Penn had a small town house being built of brick and his sumptuous mansion upriver at Pennsbury involved both brick and "good timers" cased "with clapboards about five foot, which will serve other things & we can brick it afterwards".
To Robert Turner, who came to Philadelphia in 1683 with his family and
seventeen servants, went the distinction of having the first all-brick home.
In 1685 he estimated six hundred houses in Philadelphia, and "since I built
my Brick House ... many take example, and some that built Wooden Houses, are
sorry for it: Brick building is said to be as cheap: Bricks are exceeding
good and better than when I built: More Makers fallin in, and Bricks
cheaper ... and now many brave Brick Houses are going up, with good Cellars
. Arthur Cook is building him a brave Brick House ...William Frampton hath
since built a good Brick house, by his Brew house and Bake house, and let
the other for an Ordinary. John Wheeler, from New England, is building a
good Brick house, by the Blew Anchor ...I am Building another Brick house
by mine, which is three large Stories high, besides a good large Brick
Cellar under it, of two Bricks and a half thickness in the wall ..." He was
also enthusiastic about "Brave Lime Stone found here ... Lots are much desir
d in the Town, great buying one of another..."
p. 48 Faced with empty lots in 1683, Penn encouraged tradesmen and craftsmen to move in as soon as they signed an agreement to buy country land when
financially able, and with proviso they would begin immediately to

He was especially interested in brick manufacture, and in November of that year, granted to George Guest, a former whitesmith from West Jersey, two acres of land "to make Bricks on where he with his men hath begun to work by the Swamp". All brick shipments from England arrived in four ships in 1682, and none are recorded in 1683.

An extremely cold December 1683 and January added to the economic gloom. An unusually sharp reaction by Penn and his Council to some suggestions offered by one Anthony Weston, however, showed how tense were the times. The official record gives no specifics, but Weston, with a number of original purchasers he "mett at Tho. Hootens," drew "up Proposalls. . . which. . . were mended by Tho. Wynn," and which "Jno. Songhurst, Jno. Parsons, Tho. Duckett and Others, would stand to." Not only were these summarily rejected as being "of great presumption and Contempt of this Government and authority," but Weston, as the instigator, was ordered to "be Whypt at ye Market place on Market daye three times, Each time to have Tenn Lashes, at 12 of the Clock at noone, this being the first day." Wynne was "reproved for doeing of the same" and the "freemen that Subscribed to Antho. Weston's proposalls" had "to give for their good behaviour to ye governmt" a bond of fifty pounds "till such tyme as ye geneall Assembly shall next sett." The incident also prompted the Council to speed the completion of the town prison, a "Cage. . . 7 foot high, 7 foot long & 5 foot broad."
Most offenses had earthier qualities. Three weeks after he started the "blew Anker" inn, Griffith Jones and Thomas Wynne, both Justices of the Peace, were charged with selling "drink & strong Liquors by Retail & suffer it
