PEMBERTON
Susan, born August 14, 1868, daughter of Joseph S. and Mary Barratt (Cowgill) Lovering, of Philadelphia.
Issue of Henry, Jr., and Susan (Lovering) Pemberton:
Joseph Lovering Pemberton, b. April 6, 1895, d. Jan. 18, 1896;
Carolin Hollingsworth Pemberton, b. June 14, 1896;
Henry Rawle Pemberton, b. April 27, 1898;
Robert Pemberton, b. Oct. 16, 1900.
Henry Pemberton, Jr., and his wife, Susan Lovering, both being descendants from the Cowgill and Shallcross families, an account of both these families is appended hereto, which includes the Pemberton descent from the Blackshaw, Clifford and Hollingsworth families.
The first knowledge we have of the Cowgill family in America is contained in a certificate issued by Settle Monthly Meeting of Society of Friends in Yorkshire, England, dated 4mo. 7, 1682, to a number of persons, probably all related, intend- ing to emigrate to Pennsylvania, among whom were Ellen Cowgill, a widow, and her children. These children are not named in the certificate, nor are their births to be found on the registers of any Monthly Meeting in Yorkshire. The Certifi- cate is as follows :
"These are to Certify all whom it may concern that it is manifested to us that a neces- sity is laid upon severall friends belonging to this Monthly Meeting, to remove into Pensyl- vania, and particularly our dear friends Cuthbert Hayhurst, his wife and family, who hath been and is a laborer in ye truth, for whose welfare and prosperity we are unanimously con- cerned, and also for our friends Nicholas Waln his wife and three children; Thom: Wiggles- worth and Alice his wife; Thom: Walmsley, Elizabeth his wife; and Tho: Croasdale, Agnes his wife and six children; Tho: Stackhouse, his wife; Ellin Cowgill widdow and her chil- dren : Willm Hayhurst, who wee believe are faithful friends in their measures and single in intentions to remove into the aforesaid America there to if the Lord permit, and we do certify our unity with their said intentions, and desire their prosperity in the lord, and hope what is done by them will tend to the advancement of the truth in which we are unanimously concerned with them.

The children mentioned as coming with Ellen Cowgill, though not named in the certificate, are believed with great assurance of certainty to have been four, namely, Jane, Jennett, John and Edmund Cowgill; her elder son, Ralph Cowgill, is with equal sureness, taken to be the Ralph Cowgill who came over in the "Friends Adventure" earlier in the same year. The dates of the marriage of these five Cowgills within the next twenty years show that they must have all been born before Ellen's emigration, and all minors at that time; Edmund, in fact only an infant ; this by itself, constitutes a strong argument that four of them were the "children" who came over with their mother Ellen Cowgill. These five generally signed each other's marriage certificates close to the signatures of the principals. That Ralph was positively a brother of Jennett is proved by the latter's daughter, Sarah Lane, choosing her "uncle, Ralph Cowgill" as her guardian, the relation- ship being so stated in the paper attesting her choice filed with her father's will. Similar relationship of the others is therefore almost unquestionable.
The name of Ellen Cowgill's husband is unknown ; no record of their marriage
298
PEMBERTON
has been found on the register of any monthly meeting in Yorkshire. If he was alive when the holders of the Settle certificate first determined to remove to Amer- ica, and had intended to accompany them, he would most likely have purchased land from William Penn as they did, but there is no record of him in the early Philadelphia deed books, which contain the record of leases and releases and patents of the first settlers of the whole province ; nor is the name of Ellen herself or any other Cowgill attached to any plot of land on Holme's map. Ellen's maiden name was possibly Stackhouse, as Thomas Stackhouse, who came over with her, mentions in his will his sisters Ellen and Jennett, though not their surnames. That Ellen had a daughter Jennett strengthens this theory. If she was a sister of Thomas Stackhouse, the fact would doubtless settle the question of her residence ; she had no land of her own, and his wife died without issue within a few months of their arrival in Bucks county. His plantation was on Neshaminy creek in the present Middletown township, and is shown on Holme's map under the name of Thomas Stackhouse, Senior, and it would have been most natural for the widowed sister to live with him. We have no record of the death of Ellen Cowgill; but it was doubtless before 1701, in which year Thomas Stackhouse went to live with Margaret Atkinson, widow of Christopher, in Bensalem township, whom he after- wards married. By this time all of Ellen Cowgill's children, except Edmund, were married.
An account of the children of Ellen Cowgill compiled by some descendant in the State of Delaware, leaves out Edmund and Jennett, and gives her two elder children, Ezekiel, who moved to Virginia, and was supposed ancestor of the Cow- gills of Ohio, and Thomas, who settled in New Jersey, and had descendants there. But investigations of this story show that the Ezekiel and Thomas Cowgill were really great-grandsons of Ellen, through her son John, being sons of the latter's son Thomas, by his wife, Sarah Clayton. Another account, current among the Ohio Cowgills above mentioned, asserts that the brothers, John and Thomas Cowgill (the latter stated to be the ancestor of the Ohio branch), came to America in 1667, and that a younger brother, Ralph, came in 1684. This is easily seen to be a variation of the Ezekiel and Thomas romance, the names of more recent ancestors having been placed about a century too early, the date of their arrival, 1667, being entirely imaginary. The known issue of Ellen Cowgill, father's name unknown, were :
RALPH COWGILL, of whom presently;
Jane Cowgill, buried Nov. 26, 1699; m. Oct. 25, 1685, Stephen Sands, of Bucks co., Pa., and had several children who have left numerous descendants in Bucks co., Phila., and elsewhere;
Jennett Cowgill, m. Feb. 2, 1687-8, Bernard Lane, of N. J., and left issue;
JOHN COWGILL, m. (first) Oct. 19, 1693, Bridget Croasdale; (second) Jan., 1703-4, Rachel (Baker) Bunting; of him later;
Edmund Cowgill, m. (first) May 29, 1702, Catharine Blaker; (second) Oct., 1707, Ann Osborne; lived for a time in Newtown, Bucks co., Pa., removing after his second mar- riage to N. J., where he died prior to 1743.
RALPH COWGILL, born in England about the year 1668, came to Pennsylvania in the ship, "Friends' Adventure," which arrived in Delaware river, September 28, 1682, as shown by Register of Arrivals, made by Phineas Pemberton, as Clerk of Bucks county. In order to obtain his passage, he had engaged himself to Randall
299
PEMBERTON
Blackshaw for four years without pay, and therefore designated on the Register as "Servant" to Blackshaw. Those so called who came with the early settlers to Pennsylvania, were, however, in no sense domestic servants, as we understand the term, nor in any way menials, many of them being closely related to and fully social equals of their masters, indeed, Ralph Cowgill afterward married Randall Blackshaw's daughter. They simply took this means when unable to pay their own passage, to accompany more prosperous relatives or friends to the new world, and at the termination of their term of service received an allotment of land, at least fifty acres ; the amount received by Ralph Cowgill; Penn having guaranteed the granting of that much land to all who came as servants, in order to secure a class of settlers trained to work for a livelihood to assist in developing his new Province, and avoid the difficulties experienced by the Virginia Colonists, where too many were "Gentleman," unskilled and otherwise unfitted for the labors re- quired to maintain a settlement in the wilderness. These early servants were of a different status from the numerous indentured servants of "redemptioners" who followed in later years, and sold themselves or were sold by the masters of the ships that brought them to strangers among the settlers.
Ralph Cowgill no doubt received his fifty acres out of Blackshaw's 500 acres in Falls township, Bucks county, though no record of its assignment to him or his disposal thereof has been found of record, unless it was included in the 112 acres more or less which Randall Blackshaw conveyed to him on March 1, 1694-5, part of the tract on which Blackshaw then lived, purchased of James Harrison. On March 1, 1696-7, Cowgill sold this tract to Joseph Kirkbride, and removed to Bur- lington, New Jersey. He had married in 1689, Sarah Blackshaw, daughter of Randall and Alice ; she was born in England about 1668, died September 15, 1694. On the date of the deed from Randall Blackshaw for the 112 acres, Ralph Cow- gill executed a bond to his brother-in-law, Nehemiah Blackshaw, and Joseph Kirk- bride, securing the tract that day conveyed to his children by his late wife Sarah, daughter of said Randall Blackshaw, viz .: Abraham, Nehemiah and Sarah Cow- gill. On the same day that Ralph Cowgill executed the deed to his brother-in-law, Joseph Kirkbride, Randall Blackshaw made a conveyance of 200 acres of land in Wrightstown to his grandsons, Abraham and Nehemiah Cowgill, sons of Ralph Cowgill, and inasmuch as Joseph Kirkbride conveyed to his father-in-law, Randall Blackshaw, the 112 acres, with other land, and the latter immediately conveyed it to his son Nehemiah, it is probable that these several conveyances absolved Ralph Cowgill from the terms of his bond.
As before stated Ralph Cowgill removed to Burlington, New Jersey, at about the date of his sale of his Bucks county land. He married (second) at Burlington Meeting House, September 2, 1697, Susannah, of the town of Burlington, daugh- ter of John Pancoast, late of Burlington, deceased, formerly of Ashton, North- amptonshire, England, who had presented a certificate to Burlington Meeting dated 3mo. (May) 13, 1680, from the Men's Monthly Meeting at Ugbrooke, coun- ty of Northampton. The will of John Pancoast, of Mansfield, Burlington county, dated November 30, 1694, proved December 22, 1694, mentions his wife Jane, and children: Mary, Ann, William, Joseph, Elizabeth, Sarah, Hannah and Susannah. These children were doubtless by a former wife, as he, was dealt with by Burling- ton Monthly Meeting, September 8, 1689, for marrying before his former wife had been dead five months.

Shortly after his second marriage Ralph Cowgill removed to that part of Bur- lington county lying below the town, as when the road from the present town of Pemberton to the river Delaware was laid out in December, 1712, it is described as extending "along the old path as it is marked in the township of Wellingborough to the Salem Road; thence along the same over the bridge to the upland; thence as it is marked, by Ralph Cowgill's house ; thence as it is marked, to Ferry Point." This residence was within the compass of Burlington Monthly Meeting, and Au- gust 6, 1716, that meeting granted a certificate for Ralph Cowgill and his wife to Chesterfield Meeting, they having already removed to Chesterfield township, where they were living in 1717, at the time of the marriage of his son Nehemiah, and in 1721, when he was one of the appraisers of the estate of John Fisher of that township, deceased. He was Overseer of the Highway for Chesterfield township in 1722, and Overseer of the Poor in 1729. Sometime after this latter date Ralph Cowgill, with perhaps his two youngest children, Jacob and Susannah, his wife being deceased, and his other children grown, removed with his grown son Isaac, within the compass of Haddonfield Monthly Meeting, probably somewhere in Gloucester county. On December 14, 1741, Haddonfield Meeting granted him a certificate to Burlington Monthly Meeting, and he returned with his son Isaac to Springfield township. A letter from Isaac Cowgill to his nephew, Thomas Clifford, in Philadelphia, dated at Springfield, 7mo. 17, 1756, indicates that Ralph Cowgill's death had occurred before the 30th of the preceding month. The letter states that Isaac had been a good child to his father and latterly his main support, and describes his father's last days and death, saying these days began "last first day, being the 13th of this instant," but the previous and following text of the letter indicate that it was 13th ultimo that was meant, and no doubt referred to his father's "last First day."
CAPT. BLACKSHAW, paternal grandfather of Sarah (Blackshaw) Cowgill, com- manded a company in the army of King Charles I., in the early part of the Civil War in England, 1642-60. He was gentleman of good estate in Cheshire, his seat being Hollingee Manor, parish of Mobberly, Bucklow Hundred, which in his day had a moat and draw-bridge. He was probably the "Ralph Blackshaw, of the Hollingee within Mobberly" whose inventory was filed at Chester, in 1669. He presumably died intestate, though if his property were entailed no will was neces- sary.
RANDALL BLACKSHAW, son of Capt. Blackshaw, born about 1622, inherited Hollingee Manor from his father ; it had formerly belonged to Sir John Radcliffe, of Ordsall, as stated in George Ormond's "History of Cheshire," London, 1882 (Helsby's edition), vol. i., which after reciting the owners of the township of Mobberly in the parish of the same name, continues (p. 418), "The other moiety of Mobberly, lately belonging to the Radcliffes, of Ordsall in Lancashire, nigh Manchester, was sold away by Sir John Radcliffe, about the beginning of King James's reign over England, to his tenants there. The names of the freeholders in Radcliffe's part, since the several purchases from Radcliffe, as they now stand, 1672, *
* Randle Blackshaw. This was bought from Sir John Radcliffe, of Ordsall, by deed dated the eighth day of August, 1611, and is said to be the ancient demain-house of Mobberly, which did belong to Radcliffe."
Randall Blackshaw joined the Society of Friends and was persecuted for his religion. Besse's "Sufferings of Friends," vol. ii., Cheshire chapter, p. 90, says,
301
PEMBERTON
"In the year 1665 James Harrison of Hanford, Randal Blackshaw (and others) of Mobberly * * were arrested at a peaceable meeting" and "imprisoned two months in the house of correction at Middlewick."
Randall Blackshaw sold Hollingee to his wife's brother, Peter Burgess, and after paying his father's debts moved to Pennsylvania in 1682. He sailed with his wife and seven children in the ship, "Submission," from Liverpool, September 5, 1682, arriving in the Choptank river, Maryland, November 2, 1682. The log of the vessel has been printed in the "Publications of the Genealogical Society of Penn- sylvania," vol. i., p. 7, et seq. In the same vessel were James Harrison, Phineas Pemberton, James Clayton and Ellis Jones with their families and dependants. In "A Registry of all the people in the county of Bucks within the Province of Pennsilvania that have come to settle the sd County" kept by Phineas Pemberton, is this entry :
"Randulph Blackshaw of Hollingee in the county of Chester arrived in Maryland the 2d of the 9th mo. 1682 in the ship Submission of Liverpool, Randulph arrived in this province att Apoquemene the 9th 3d mo. 1683. Phebe arrived in this Province with her father, Sarah, Jacob, Mary, Nehemiah, Martha arrived in this province with their mother. Abraham dyed att sea the 2d 8th mo. 1682."
Randall Blackshaw bought 1500 acres of unlocated land of James Harrison, 500 acres of which he located in Falls township, Bucks county, near where the Meeting House was afterwards built, part of which he conveyed to his son-in-law, Joseph Kirkbride, on which the latter lived ; part to his son-in-law, Ralph Cowgill ; and the remainder to his son Nehemiah; the latter also becoming the owner of the Cowgill tract as before recited ; 200 acres of the 1500 were located in Wrightstown, and conveyed to his grandsons, Abraham and Nehemiah Cowgill, in 1697; 300 acres were located on the Neshaminy, in what became Warwick township, and also passed to Nehemiah, and 500 acres in Solebury, the greater part of which passed to his son-in-law, Ephraim Fenton.
No record of the death of Randall Blackshaw has been found; he was still living, aged about seventy-seven years, at the second marriage of Phineas Pember- ton (to Alice Hodgson), May 18, 1699, and signed the certificate.
Randall Blackshaw married, in England, about 1665, Alice Burghes or Burgess, born about 1639, died January 18, 1688-9, of a family of some local importance in Mobberly parish, Cheshire. The dates of births of the children of Randall and Alice Blackshaw as given in the following list are calculated from their ages as given in Register of Arrivals.
