General Notes: Husband - Richard Ap Thomas

---

The ancestor of this family, of Whitford Garden, Flintshire, North Wales, 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 an only son, Richard, and died there in 1683. Richard, the son, 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.
