ROBERT LLOYD, born in Merionethshire, Wales, 1669, came to the Welsh Tract in Philadelphia and Chester counties when a youth, and resided for a time with Robert Owen, in Merion township, Philadelphia county, little being known of him prior to his marriage and purchase of a home, 1698. He was either accompanied or followed to America by a brother Thomas Lloyd, who married, 1698, Elizabeth, daughter of William ap Edward, and settled in Haverford. His eldest son Thomas removed to Bucks county and is ancestor of the Lloyds of Warminster and Moreland.
Robert Lloyd purchased September 5, 1698, 409 acres northward of Rowland Ellis's plantation of "Bryn Mawr" on the "Old Gulf Road" one-half mile from Gladwyne P. O. in Lower Merion Township, and lived thereon until his death. He took a very prominent part in township affairs and was a consistent member of the Society of Friends. He married at Merion Meeting, October 11, 1698, Lowry Jones, born in Wales, 1680, eldest daughter of Rees ap John, ap William, com- monly known as Rees John William, by his wife Hannah Price, daughter of Rich- ard ap Griffith, ap Rhys, who assumed the name of Price, and at the time of his death, 1686, was living in the parish of Llanfawr, Merionethshire, Wales, and was a member of Pennllyn Meeting, near Bala. His son Edward Price came to Penn- sylvania with Rees John William and has numerous descendants.
Rees John was a son of John ap William, born 1590, who was also a member of Society of Friends in Wales, living in the parish of Llangelynin, Merioneth. He suffered considerable persecution for his religious belief. His three children, Evan John, Rees John and Margaret, all came to Pennsylvania; Evan died at Merion, December 1I, 1683, soon after his arrival, and Margaret brought a certifi- cate to Radnor, dated July 27, 1683.
Rees John brought a certificate from the Quarterly Meeting at Dolgelly, Meri- oneth, dated 2mo. 4, 1684, in which he is named as "Rees John, of Iscregenan, County of Merioneth." He had purchased land in the Welsh tract of John Thomas of Edward Jones, both of Merioneth, the projectors of the Welsh settle- ment in Merion and Haverford. In the deed dated April 1, 1682, Rees is named as "Rees John Williams, of Llanlynin," the home of his father. Hannah, the wife of Rees John and her children Richard, Evan and Lowry, came over in the "Vine," of Liverpool, 7mo. 17, 1684.
Six other children were born to Rees and Hannah John after their arrival in Pennsylvania, and they have left numerous descendants. Rees John died January 26, 1697-8, and was buried at Merion Meeting.

Samuel Sellers Jr. was born in Darby township, May 12, 1690, and was the eldest son of Samuel Sellers, who came from Belper, Derbyshire, England, and settled in Darby, 1682. He belonged to an old and well connected family of Derbyshire and was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Sellers of Belper, the record of the baptism of whose six children, appears on the parish register of Duffield church in Derbyshire as follows:
Jno. bap. 20 Aug. 1648: bur. 28 Apr. 1664; Elizabeth, bap. 13 Jan. 1649; Mary, bap. 7 Sept. 1651; George, bap. 13 Feb. 1652; Samuel, bap. 3 Feb. 1655; Sarah, bap. 20 June 1663.
George Sellers, eldest surviving son, and Samuel, the youngest son, came together to Darby, but George died without issue, 1686, and his estate including fifty acres of land, reverted to his surviving brother. Samuel Sellers erected a home at Darby, which constituted the kitchen part of the later "Sellers Hall," the home of several generations of the family. He was one of the original mem- bers of Darby Meeting, and the record of the declarations of his intentions of marriage to Anna Gibbons, on "5mo. 2, 1684" was the first entry on the minutes of that Meeting. Anna Gibbons was the daughter of Henry and Eleanor Gibbons, and her name appears in the certificate that her parents brought from Parwich, Derbyshire, 1682.
Samuel Sellers Sr. was a weaver by trade and carried on that business at Darby. He purchased 175 acres on Cobb's Creek, and lived thereon until his death November 22, 1732. His wife survived him and died January 19, 1742. They were the parents of six children, of whom four lived to maturity, three daughters, Sarah, who married John Ashmead; Mary, who married (first) William Marshall, (second) Isaac Vernon; and Anna, who married a Pritchard ; and one son, Samuel Sellers Jr. above mentioned, who succeeded his father in the weaving business, which he greatly improved by the introduction of devices of his own invention, and laid the foundation of the important industry conducted for several generations of his family on a much larger and improved scale, his son

Eleanor died September 10, 1708, and her husband, January 12, 1714.
Samuel Sellers, Jr., died June 3, 1773, and his widow, Sarah (Smith) Sellers, May 24, 1778. They were parents of seven children, four sons, three of whom lived to maturity, and three daughters. The youngest son John Sellers, who inher- ited Sellers Hall, with the mill property on Cobb's Creek, later known as "Mill- bourne Mills," was very prominent in local, Provincial and State affairs ; member of Assembly under both Province and State, and later a member of State Senate from Delaware county. He filled many positions of honor and trust, as did his sons and grandsons. Hannah Sellers, who became the wife of Richard Lloyd, was the second child and eldest daughter of Samuel, Jr., and Sarah (Smith) Sellers, and was born in Darby, February 10, 1717. She survived her husband, Richard Lloyd, and married (second) November 30, 1757, Lewis Davis, of Haverford, and died April 12, 1819, over ninety-three years of age.
Richard Lloyd left Lower Merion 1742, and removed to Darby township, where he had purchased the Darby Water, Corn Grist and Boulting Mills, of Joseph Bon- sal, and which he continued to operate until his death, August 9, 1755. He had been in very delicate health for several years prior to his death.

He was in his six- teenth year at the death of his father, and having learned the milling business in his father's Darby Mills, purchased the interest of his brother Hugh therein, in 1766, and continued to operate them some years, removing later to Philadelphia, where he died August 10, 1798.

About 1768, we find Hugh Lloyd operating a mill on Crum Creek in Ridley town- ship. This was the place now known as Lapidea. Here he carried on the milling busi- ness as best he could during the disturbed condition of the country. A letter of his dated November 8, 1776, offering to sell bran and shorts to Thomas Wharton, Jr., President of Supreme Executive Council, State of Pennsylvania, no doubt for use by the American Army, is now in the possession of John Coats Browne, of Philadelphia, whose grandmother, Hannah Browne, was a daughter of Hugh Lloyd. When the British were in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, Hugh Lloyd secreted the mill stones so that they could not fall into their possession. In a letter dated October 31, 1777, from Gen. Washington to Gen. Potter, requiring the mill stones to be taken from several mills to prevent the British from using the same, he particularly mentions Lloyd's, about two miles on this side of Chester.
