General Notes: Husband - Richard Thomas

---

His father, July 21, 1681, purchased a grant or location of five thousand acres in Chester valley, came over in William Penn's first migration, and came to where Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, now stands with his only son, Richard, and died there in 1683. Richard (2d) being but eleven years of age, and the estate passing into trustees, the grant was never all located; however, one part, some six hundred acres, embraced part of the county-seat (West Chester), and others were located advantageously in the Great valley. Richard returned to Wales for a short time, and subsequently married an English maiden, and settled in the Great valley (1711), on one of his places called Calamornshirk, in West Whiteland township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he later died.
