William Lovett Smith, third son of Richard and Abigail (Raper) Smith, born 1726, died 1798, was early in life also a West India merchant, but later engaged in agricultural pursuits, near Burlington, naming his estate "Bramham" after the ancestral estate in England. He married, in 1749, Mary Doughty, daughter of Daniel and Amy Doughty.

Richard Smith, youngest brother of John, first mentioned, and the fourth son of Richard and Abigail (Raper) Smith, born 1735, died 1803; studied law in the office of Joseph Galloway at Philadelphia, and practiced there and in New Jersey. He took an active part in political affairs and was Recorder of Burling- ton county, Assemblyman and Provincial Treasurer of New Jersey. At the outbreak of the Revolution he was elected to represent his state in the Continental Congress, and became its first Secretary, his portrait appearing in Molleson's painting, "The First Prayer in Congress". He devoted much time to literary pursuits. He married Elizabeth Rodman, daughter of John Rodman, and resided at his seat called "Bramham Hall". He died at Natchez, Mississippi, in 1803, while on a tour of the southern states.

John Smith began his diary before referred to, in 1736, when a youth of fourteen, residing at his father's house in Burlington, and continued it with a few interruptions for fourteen years. He removed to Philadelphia in 1743, and his notes of everyday life in the metropolis of the American Colonies for the next nine years present a clear picture of Colonial life at that time among the wealthy and governing class to which he belonged and with whom he was in daily and intimate association, presenting an interesting personal view of nearly every one of consequence in the Province at that time, as well as of many notable visi- tors, and records many interesting and important events.

John Smith had just attained his majority when in 1743 he located in Phila- delphia and engaged in the mercantile and shipping trade, in which he was very successful, and being a man of wealth, education and refinement enjoyed

the best society of the aristocratic Quaker City, and belonged to the most exclu- sive social organizations. In 1746 he purchased a fine country seat at Point-no- point, on the Delaware above Philadelphia, on which was a fine brick mansion, and employing a gardener devoted much time to its beautification and in agricul- tural and horticultural pursuits. He was intimate with John Bartram, the great American botanist, and the leading scholars and scientists of the day, and gave much time to reading and literary pursuits. He published in 1747 a little book entitled. "The Doctrine of Christianity, As held by the People Called Quakers, Vindicated: In Answer to Gilbert Tennent's Sermon on the Lawfulness of War."

In 1746 he was one of the promoters of the Philadelphia Contributionship, one of the first insurance companies in the country, and in 175I helped to found the Pennsylvania Hospital. He was a trustee of the Philadelphia Library Com- pany, a member of the American Philosophical Society, and took a prominent part in the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting of Friends, of which he served for a time as clerk. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1750, and re-elected in 1751 and 1752, and his diary shows that he was in almost constant attendance and took an active part in its deliberations. His courtship of Hannah Logan began almost with his first appearance in Philadelphia and ended with their marriage five years later. Isaac Norris, who had married Hannah's elder sister Sarah, many years Speaker of Assembly and referred to by James Logan as the "most learned man in Philadelphia", went to his father-in-law and sought the hand of Hannah for his younger brother Charles, and was very much offended when John Smith carried off the prize, refusing to attend the wedding or to hold further communication with the Smiths.

John and Hannah (Logan) Smith resided in Philadelphia until 1756, when John gave up trade and removed with his family to Burlington, taking up their residence in the house erected by his father in 1729. He continued to take active interest in public affairs, and in 1757 was a subscriber to the "New Jersey Association for Helping the Indians". On December 15, 1753, he was appointed a member of the King's Council for New Jersey. In 1761 he was named as one of the Commissioners to try pirates, and in 1768, with his brother Samuel and Charles Read, was commissioned to take charge of the Seals of the Province of New Jersey, during the absence of Governor William Franklin in England. He died at Burlington, March 16, 1771, in his forty-ninth year.

Robert Proude, the historian, says of John Smith, "He was engaging, open, friendly and undesigning in his address and behavior: of a cheerful and benev- olent disposition, well skilled in the laws of his country: and very ready, gen- erous and serviceable in giving his advice and assistance. In his religious char- acter he exhibited an excellent example of true practical Christianity, free from affectation and narrowness of mind. He was in several relations one of the best of neighbors and men."

LLOYD FAMILY

THOMAS LLOYD, Deputy Governor of Pennsylvania, 1684-88, and 1690-93, though a consistent member of the Society of Friends and a typical representa- tive of that good old Quaker stock of solid respectability and sterling worth without the ostentation of pomp and display, whose home life lent such a peculiar charm to social life of the City of Brotherly Love, in Colonial days, was never- theless of Royal descent, and traced his ancestry on both maternal and paternal lines back to Edward I., of England, and on more remote paternal lines back through a long line of princes of ancient Britain. The surname of Lloyd had its original with Owen, son of Ievan Teg, otherwise, "Evan the handsome", whose family had owned and occupied Dolobran, Wales, since 1496, and like all the old Welsh families traced its ancestry back to the Dark Ages. Owen Lloyd married Kath- erine Vaughn, and his brother, David Lloyd, of Dolobran, married Eva, daugh- ter of David Goch Esq., and David Lloyd, son of David and Eva, had son John Lloyd, grandfather of Governor Lloyd, who married Catharine, daughter of Humphrey Lloyd Wyn, whose father, John Lloyd, was a son of Ievan Lloyd and grandson of Owen Lloyd and Katherine Vaughn. John Lloyd, grandfather of Catharine, married Margaret Kynaston, who was a lineal descendant of Edward I., through the following line: Jane, "the fair maid of Kent," grand- daughter of Edward I., and daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent, married (first) Sir Thomas Holland, who was thereupon made Earl of Kent, and (second) Edward, the Black Prince, becoming by the second marriage the mother of Richard II. Her eldest son, Sir Thomas Holland, who succeeded his father as Earl of Kent and was later Marshall of England, had a daughter Elea- nor who married (first) Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, from which mar- riage descended Edward IV., and (second) Edward Cherleton, Lord of Powys, by whom she had a daughter Joane, who married Sir John Grey, who in 1418, was created Earl of Tankerville. Henry Grey, Earl of Tankerville, son of Sir John and Joane, married Antigone, daughter of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, who was a son of Henry IV., and had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Roger Kynaston Esq., and their son, Humphrey Kynaston, was the father of Mar- garet Kynaston, who married John Lloyd, as above noted, and whose grand- daughter Catharine married another John Lloyd, the grandfather of Thomas Lloyd of Pennsylvania.

Charles Lloyd, of Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, Wales, son of John and Cath- arine, and father of Governor Thomas Lloyd, was born at Dolobran, in 1613. He was a magistrate of Montgomeryshire, and had emblazoned on a panel at Dolobran, his coat-of-arms, with fifteen quarterings, impaled with the arms of his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Stanley, of Knockden, and a descend- ant of the Earls of Derby. The paternal or Lloyd arms were, "azure, a chevron between three cocks argent", and the different quarterings show the descent of Governor Lloyd from the ancient male lines of the Lords of Powys, the Cherle- tons, Greys and Kynastons. The first quarter of the maternal arms is the shield of the Earls of Derby, differenced with a crescent charged with a crescent,

which indicates that Thomas Stanley was descended from a second son of a second son.

Issue of Charles and Elizabeth (Stanley) Lloyd, of Dolobran :-

Charles, inherited Dolobran, and was ancestor of the Lloyd who founded Lloyd's Bank- ing House, in London;

John, was a clerk in chancery;

THOMAS, came to Pennsylvania, in 1683;

Elizabeth, m. Henry Parry, of Penamser, Merionethshire, Wales.

THOMAS LLOYD was born at Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, Wales about the year 1640, and was sent to Jesus College, Oxford, where he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, January 29, 1661. Both he and his elder brother, Charles, with several others of the gentry of Montgomeryshire, became con- verted to the faith of the Society of Friends, under the teachings of George Fox in 1663, and both were imprisoned in 1664, and continued nominally prisoners until 1672, when Charles II., by letters patent, dispensed with the laws inflicting punishment for religious offences, when, according to Besse, Charles Lloyd, Thomas Lloyd and others "were discharged from Montgomery Gaol." Thomas Lloyd seems, however, to have enjoyed a nominal liberty during at least a por- tion of this period, as it covers the date of his marriage, and his wife was permitted to visit him while in prison. Thomas Lloyd was a physician while residing in Wales, and had a large practice. Belonging as he did to the gentry class, and being a man of high intellectual ability, he exercised a wide influence in matters of state, though of the proscribed sect religiously. According to "The Friend", it was at his solicitation that Parliament was induced to abolish the long unused writ "de heretico comburendo", with the operation of which the Friends were threatened. He was tendered high place and influence if he would renounce his religion, but adhered to the faith. In 1681 he and his brother Charles held a public disputation at the town hall of Llanwilling, with Right Rev. William Lloyd, Bishop of Asaph, one of the noted prelates whom James II. committed to the Tower.

Thomas Lloyd and his wife and children embarked from London for Pennsyl- vania, June 10, 1683, on board the same ship with Francis Daniel Pastorius, the "Sage of Germantown," then on his way to take possession of the lands pur- chased by the Frankfort Company of William Penn, on which was planted the first German Colony in Pennsylvania. Lloyd and the distinguished German scholar discoursed in Latin and discussed religious and political questions on the voyage, and cemented a friendship that continued through life. They arrived at Philadelphia 6mo. (August) 20, 1683. On December 2, 1683, William Penn appointed Thomas Lloyd Master of Rolls, the office having been created by the Assembly at the request of Penn, its object being to keep an exact record of the laws enacted for the Province, as well as a record of transfers of real estate and other legal documents. Thomas Lloyd was elected a member of the Gov- ernor's Council, qualified on Imo. 20, 1684, and was elected its president. Be- fore sailing for England, in August of the same year, William Penn executed a commission to his Council to act as Governor in his absence, made Thomas Lloyd Keeper of the Great Seal of the Province, and made him, with James Claypoole and Robert Turner, Commissioners of Property, with authority to

LLOYD

grant warrants of survey and issue patents to purchasers of land. The commis- sion, vesting the governing power in Council, terminated in 1688, and though Lloyd desired to be relieved from office, Penn's commission arrived 12mo. 9, 1687-8, vesting the powers of Deputy Governor in Thomas Lloyd, Robert Turner, John Simcock, Arthur Cooke and John Eckley, and this arrangement continued for ten months, when Penn, having offered Lloyd the Lieutenant Governorship, on his declination of the honor, appointed Capt. John Blackwell, then in New England, the Lieutenant Governor, Thomas Lloyd still retaining the positions of Master of Rolls and Keeper of the Great Seal. The administration of Blackwell was far from satisfactory to the Friends, and there was considerable clash be- tween him and Lloyd as Keeper of the Seal, so that when Thomas Lloyd was returned as a member of the Council by Bucks county in March, 1689, Blackwell presented articles of impeachment against him, and, failing to eject him from the Council, adjourned that body from time to time whenever Lloyd was present. On Penn's return Blackwell resigned, and on IImo. 2, 1689-90, the Council accepted Penn's ultimatum that the whole Council act as the governing body, elected Thomas Lloyd its president, and made him, as Keeper of the Seal, a member of the county court, ex-officio. He was later commissioned Lieutenant Governor and served until the arrival of Governor Fletcher, when he was offered the second place in the government, but declined. Thomas Lloyd died Septem- ber 10, 1694, after eleven years residence in Pennsylvania, during eight of which he had served as her chief executive. He was twice married. His first wife, Mary Jones, whom he married 9mo. 9, 1665, at the Friends' Meeting in Shrop- shire, Wales, died in Philadelphia, and he married (second) Patience Story, a widow of New York, who survived him.
