(The Shippen Line).
Among those who, in the second part of the seventeenth century, left England for the New World, was Edward Shippen, of Methley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. There is a family tradition, confirmed by a letter of Edward Shippen "of Lancaster," written in 1741, that the Shippens were settled at Hillam, a ham- let in the ancient parish of Monk Fryston, in Yorkshire, as early as the thirteenth century. In any case, at the dawn of the Reformation the Shippens were estab- lished at Hillam, in the parish of Monk Fryston. There were Shippens, however, in many of the villages adjacent to Monk Fryston, and to this day there is a farm- house called Shippen, in the parish of Barwick-in-Elmet, six or seven miles to the northwest of Monk Fryston. The word "shippen" is in every-day use in agri- cultural Yorkshire at the present time, and denotes a partly covered cattleyard, and there are persons bearing the name Shippen still to be found in Leeds and the neighborhood. Monk Fryston is in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and lies about thirteen miles southeast of Leeds and fifteen miles south of York. There William Shippen, father of the emigrant, appears to have been born about the year 1600, but by some mischance his name is not to be found in the Monk Fryston registers. What is certain is that he migrated to Methley, a village about seven miles to the west of Monk Fryston, and that there, on July 16, 1626, he married Mary Nunnes, or Nuns, baptized at Methley on October 11, 1592, buried there May 26, 1672, daughter of John Nunnes. William Shippen died in 1681 at Stockport in Cheshire, where he was living with his son, William. William and Mary ( Nunnes, or Nuns) Shippen had six children, all born at Methley, the youngest being Edward, of whom further.
(I) EDWARD SIIIPPEN, the founder of his family in America, was baptized on March 5, 1639, at Methley, not far from the manufacturing city of Leeds. He came to America and settled in Boston in 1668. There he engaged in mercantile pursuits which met with much success. In 1669, he was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, showing that he was still at that time a member of the Protestant Church of England. Two years later he married Elizabeth Lybrand, a Quakeress; this marriage led him to become a Quaker. Owing to his
122
HUTCHINSON
new religion, he was subjected to severe persecution and, in 1677, was twice "pub- lickly whipped." In various ways he was subjected to great annoyance, until finally, about 1693-94, he decided to take refuge in Pennsylvania.
It would seem to have taken him about a year to perfect the disposal of his estate in Boston and transfer it to Philadelphia. In this latter city his wealth, his fine personal appearance, his house on Second Street, styled "a princely mansion," his talents, and his high character, speedily obtained for him such position and influence that on July 9, 1695, he was elected Speaker of the Assembly; in 1699, he was made chief justice, and on October 25, 1701, William Penn named him in the charter as mayor of the city of Philadelphia. Penn, as is well known, gave most anxious consideration to his selection of officers to govern the new city. In Edward Shippen he found a man of courage, energy, integrity, intelligence, and sagacity; whose unspotted moral character was ample earnest to the citizens that the executive power would be exercised with the strictest justice and fidelity; whose active business habits and bravery equally assured them of the chief magis- trate's resolution and promptness, whilst his high social position gave dignity to the office.
From 1702 to 1704 Edward Shippen was president of the Governor's Council, and for six months, when there was no governor in the province, he was acting governor. In 1706, he contracted his third marriage, which led to his separation from the Society of Friends. After that, apparently, he retired from public life, except that he continued to advise upon public affairs, as is shown by Penn's letter dated 24th, 5th month, 1712, where Edward Shippen is addressed, in connection with Isaac Norris, Thomas Story, and others. Edward Shippen died at Philadel- phia, October 2, 1712.
Edward Shippen took up his residence in a fine mansion on the west side of Second Street, north of Spruce, and had a fine "country house" at Broad and South streets, his property extending along the south side of the old city as far west as Sixteenth street and east to Front Street. William Penn spent much of his time at Shippen's house on Second Street, on the occasion of his second visit to Pennsylvania. His spacious lawn extending down to Dock Creek, on which he maintained a herd of deer, and his orchard of choice fruits were famous in their day.
Edward Shippen married (first), in 1671, Elizabeth Lybrand, of Boston, Massachusetts. She having died October 25, 1688, he married, at Newport, Rhode Island, September 4, 1689, Rebecca (Richardson) Howard, widow of Francis Richardson, of New York, and daughter of John Howard, of Yorkshire. She died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 26, 1704-05, and Edward Shippen married (third), in 1706, Elizabeth (Wilcox) James, widow of Thomas James, from Bristol, England, and daughter of John Wilcox. Edward and Elizabeth (Lybrand) had the following children :
1. Frances, born February 2, 1672, died April 9, 1673.
2. Edward, born October 2, 1674, died November 2, 1674.
3. William, born October 4, 1675, died in 1676.
4. Elizabeth, born August 21, 1676, died August 16, 1688.
5. Edward, born February 10, 1677-78, died in Philadelphia, December 29, 1714; married - Fancenia Vanderheyden, of Maryland.
6. Joseph, of whom further.

(II) JOSEPH SHIPPEN, youngest son of Edward and Elizabeth (Lybrand) Shippen, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, February 28, 1678-79, and remained in Boston after the removal of his father to Philadelphia, and married there, July 28, 1703, Abigail Grosse, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Grosse, of Huguenot descent. They removed to Philadelphia in 1704, and his wife died there June 28, 1716, and he married (second) Rose (Budd-McWilliams) Plumly, widow of John McWilliams, and of Charles Plumly, and daughter of Thomas and Sarah Budd, of Burlington, New Jersey. She was born in Burlington, March 13, 1680-81.
Joseph Shippen resided a time in Philadelphia, removing later to German- town. He resided at "Buttonwood Farm," formerly the "Roebuck Tavern." In 1727, Joseph Shippen joined Dr. Franklin in the formation of the "Junto" founded "for mutual information and the promotion of the public Good," which was the forerunner of the American Philosophical Society, founded in 1743. He was an energetic and industrious business man, was very prominent in the commercial and social life of Philadelphia, and took a deep interest in science and literature. He died in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in June, 1741. The children of Joseph and Abigail (Grosse) Shippen were:
I. Edward, born in Boston, Massachusetts, died September 25, 1781; married (first) Sarah Plumley; married (second) Mary (Gray) Rowland.

(Ibid.)
(The Evans Line).
Evans is a Welsh personal name, meaning "the son of Evan." The first form of the name seems to have been Jevon, then Yevan, lastly and permanently, Evan.
(Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) DAVID EVANS was born probably in Wales, died in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, 9 mo. 26, 1745. He was a prominent citizen of Philadelphia in its early days, being chosen deputy sheriff in 1714 and continuing in office until 1721. He was an innholder, and at one time owned buildings, docks and wharves on the Delaware River near Pine Street, which he sold in 1738 to Richard Nixon, mer- chant, and Charles Edgar, mariner.
By his first wife, whose name is not mentioned in his will. David Evans had two daughters, Susanna and Margaret. He married (second) Elizabeth Owen. (Owen II.) The children of David and Elizabeth (Owen) Evans were:

(II) SIDNEY EVANS, daughter of David and Elizabeth (Owen) Evans, died April 1, 1801. She married, April 26, 1759, Joseph Howell. (Howell III.) (Ibid.)
(The Owen Line).
Robert Owen, who came from Merionethshire, Wales, and settled on a planta- tion in Merion Township, Philadelphia County, on the present line of the Penn- sylvania Railroad, west of Wynnewood station, one of the founders of Merion Friends' Meeting, and a member of Colonial Assembly, 1695-97, belonged to one of the oldest families in Wales, and like all the old families of that region was of royal descent and traced his ancestry back through a long line of Princes of ancient Britain.
(I) ROBERT OWEN, eldest son of Owen ap Evan, was born at Fron Goch, Merionethshire, Wales, about 1657, and came to Pennsylvania in 1690, where he died seven years later. He was a member of the Society of Friends in Merioneth- shire, Wales, and was frequently fined for being absent from national worship. He married, I mo. 11, 1678-79, Rebecca, probably Humphrey. The marriage cer- tificate of Robert and Rebecca Owen is still in possession of their descendants. On 6 mo. 8, 1690, the Quarterly Meeting of Friends at Llyddyn y Garreg, Merion- ethshire, granted a certificate to Robert and Rebecca Owen, "and their deare and tender children," to Friends in Pennsylvania, which is recorded at Merion or Haverford Meeting. Robert Owen was one of the founders of Merion Particular Meeting, and was one of the signers of the protest against the heresies of George Keith in 1692. His wife, Rebecca, died 8 mo. 23, 1697, and he on 10 mo. 8, 1697. He became identified with the affairs of the province soon after his arrival, was elected to the Colonial Assembly in 1695, and served in that body until his death. He was also commissioned a justice in 1695. He was, from his arrival in the "Welsh Tract," active in local affairs and appears almost constantly as executor, administrator and trustee, indicating that he was a man of ability and knowledge of public affairs. He built a commodious house in 1695, which was the home of his descendants for many generations. Robert and Rebecca Owen had :
I. Gainor, born in 1681; married Jonathan Jones.
2. Evan, born in 1683, died in 1727; married, 10 mo. II, 17II, Mary Hoskins.

Robinette
The ancestry of Edward Burton Robinette, financier, of Philadelphia, traces back to French origin, probably as early as 700 or 800 A. D.
(I) ALLEN ROBINETT, SR. (he spelled the name without the final "e"), or his father found refuge in England from the persecutions which afflicted the Huguenots, to an extent even before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. This particular offense consisted of nothing worse than the possession of a Bible, which the owner, after he had been commanded to destroy the book, continued to read to his family daily. After their flight to England, the final "e" probably was dropped. Allen Robinett, his wife, Margaret, and their four children were in dis- guise when they left their homeland and arrived at their place of refuge. The family arrived in Pennsylvania on some date between March 22, 1681, and Septem- ber 9, 1682, the date of his deed from William Penn, which was issued to Allen Robinett in Bunbury, Cheshire County, England, prior to which latter date he had settled on his grant of three hundred and thirty-five acres on Ridley Creek, near what now is known as Baltimore Pike Bridge, just beyond Media. Allen Robinett possessed an excellent knowledge of law and acted as scribe for his neighbors in the cases of wills, contracts for the transfer of property and other legal proceed- ings. He was a finished penman, and the documents he wrote, many of which are extant, were models of neatness and excellence. He died in 1694.
(II) SAMUEL ROBINETT, son of Allen Robinett, Sr., and Margaret Robinett, married, between 1693 and 1697, Mary Taylor, daughter of William and Margaret Taylor, and about 1715 they removed to the then recently opened section of Ches- ter County, bordering on Cecil County, Maryland, and settled in East Nottingham Township, where he was the owner of five hundred acres of land. Samuel Rob- inett, with his sister, Sarah, widow of Richard Bond, received from their father by his will, dated June 7, 1694, the original grant from William Penn. Samuel Robinett died, about 1745 to 1747, leaving seven sons and two daughters.
(III) GEORGE ROBINETT, son of Samuel and Mary (Taylor) Robinett, fol- lowed his brother, Nathan, to Frederick (now Washington ) County, Maryland, in 1757, and in 1773 to what is now Allegany County, Maryland, where he set- tled in the vicinity of Murley's Branch. He married and became the father of four sons and a daughter. His will, dated 1797, and proved in 1803, is on record at Cumberland, Maryland.
(IV) JEREMIAH ROBINETT, son of George Robinett, removed in the early part of the nineteenth century to Athens County, Ohio. He married and is known to have had four sons.
(V) AMOS ROBINETT, son of Jeremiah Robinett, was born in 1780, and reared by his aunt, Ann Robinette, who married her first cousin, Moses Robinette. Amos Robinett married, December 28, 1800, Dorcas Wilson, born July 19, 1784, and they
126
ROBINETTE
became the parents of five sons and four daughters. Amos Robinett died in 1863 and his widow passed away March 8, 1873.
(VI) MOSES ROBINETTE (he returned to the use of the "e" final in the sur- name), son of Amos and Dorcas (Wilson) Robinett, was born September 19, 1812, and married Maza Middleton, born in 1814, died in 1884. They were the parents of seven sons and six daughters.
(VII) HANSON B. ROBINETTE, son of Moses and Maza (Middleton) Rob- inette, married Amanda Shryock, daughter of Henry R. and Eliza (Hamilton) Shryock. Henry R. Shryock was a son of Louis G. and Phoebe ( French) Shryock. Hanson B. Robinette is at the time of this printing of Everett, Pennsylvania.
(VIII) EDWARD BURTON ROBINETTE, son of Hanson B. and Amanda (Shry- ock) Robinette, was born in Gilpentown, Maryland, December 22, 1879. His early training was received in public schools, and his preparatory course was taken at the Chestnut Hill Academy, Philadelphia. He next entered the University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in the class of 1909. From Septem- ber 1, 1909, to January 31, 1911, he served as assistant to the provost, Charles C. Harrison, of the University of Pennsylvania. During his student career at the university he was a member of the Zeta Psi Fraternity and was elected to member- ship in the Sphinx, Canteen, Gargoyle and Phi Beta Kappa societies. He was also editor of the "Red and Blue"; editor-in-chief of "The Pennsylvanian"; a member of the Undergraduate Committee; third honor man ; and a member of the Mask and Wig Club. On the date of his resignation as assistant to the provost of the university, he joined the staff of the banking house of George S. Fox & Sons, and later became a partner in the firm.
Twenty years after he had received his degree of Bachelor of Science from the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Robinette made a gift to his alma mater of one million dollars for the establishment of a foundation to study and seek cures for the diseases of the heart and circulatory system and for development of edu- cation in the liberal arts. Details as to the purpose and breadth of the foundation's intent will be amplified as this review proceeds.
