At the court held Nov. 30, 1681, the names of Michael Izard, John Greensell, and Robert White appear.

March 14, 1681-82, we find John Chiilde, Nathaniel Evans, Nathaniel Allen, John Grubb, and John Grice.

June 13, 1682, Thomas Coebourne, Silas Crispin, Jere- miah Collett, William Shoote, Mathias Houlstead, Henry Grubb, Thomas Withers.

Sept. 12, 1682, Thomas Cross, John Otter, John Har- per, Jolin Hickman, James Kennerly, Nathaniel Lamplugh, Samuel Noyes, Joshua Hastings, John Hastings, Richard Few, John Martin.

At this last court a case appears in which Nathaniel Evans is plaintiff and John Hickman defendant :

"Nathaniel Lamplough & Samuell Noyes proves ye declaration : Katharine Winchcome's evidence rejected as a ptye. Geo : Andreas deposeth, That hee sawe ye Defdt come with ye maid to Vpland in order to her delivry to ye Plaint. ye 4th Aug : last, which was within 8 dayes after ye agreemt. But by the witnesse owne Testimony makes himself a ptye & invalids his Evideocc."

An action, John Martin vs. Richard Dymon, was ad- mitted to a reference by request of Thomas Holme, who appeared for the defendant. Dymon, or Dymond, was master of the " Amity" at a later date, and was now perhaps absent at sca.

This was the last court held at Upland under that name. Dr. Smith says,-

" The world did not contain a more busy man than William Penn, from the time the charter for Pennsylvania was granted to him until he sailed for America. Besides the documents issued by him, that have already been mentioned, he incorporated a company with extraor- dinary powers and privileges, styled the 'Free Society of Traders;' he published his ' Frame of Government for the province of Pean- sylvania, together with certain laws agreed upon in England by the Governor and divers freemen of the aforesaid Province;' he obtained from the Duke of York a release of any claims he might have to the province of Pennsylvania; and also two deeds of feoffment for the territory now constituting the State of Delaware,"-one heing for twelve miles round New Castle, and the other for the balance of the territory below ; he wrote inoumorable letters to his friends, and sun- dry epistles to the settlers and the Indians, besides being subjected to various importunities to part with his lands and to confer privileges en terms different from those which he had adopted and published.

"With his mind thus overtasked with questions of the highest moment, would it not have been wonderful if he had committed Go mistakes? Is it not strange that be committed so few ? We may at this day be startled at some of the privileges granted to 'The Free Society of Traders ;' but may we not, with Penn's limited experience with corporations, believe in the sincerity of his assurance, that it was 'a Society without oppression : wherein all may be concerned that will; and yet have the saine liberty of private traffique as

* Although the territory west of the Delaware had been governed by the Duke of York, he at this time held no valid title to any part of it. King Charles II. made a regular conveyance to him of the country comprised within the present territorial limits of the State of Delaware on the 22d of March, 1683; the deeds from the duke to Penn for the same country were executed on the 24th of August, 1682.

GENERAL HISTORY.

though there were no Society at all.' Certainly we may concede this much, when it is known that he resisted the 'great temptation' of £6000 and two and a half per cent. acknowledgment or rent for a monopoly of the Indian trade between the Susquehanna and Dela- ware with 30,000 acres of land, the Indian title of which to be extin- guished by the corporation. Penn's ideas of government were greatly in advance of the age in which he lived. The few errors he com- mitted were the result of surrounding circumstances. No friend of humanity con quibble over these, when he reflects upon the mighty impulse that was given to the cause of free government by his many wise and prudent measures.

" Having completed his arrangements in England, Penn sailed from Deal on the 30th of the Sixth month (then August), on board of the ship ' Welcome,' Robert Greenaway commander, in company with about 100 passengers, mostly members of the Society of Friends, the major part of whom were from Sussex. Great distress was ex- perienced during the passage, in consequence of the breaking out of the smallpox, of which loathsome disease 30 of the emigrants died. Otherwise the voyage was prosperous, the vessel arriving at New Cas- tle on the 27th of October, 1682. On the next day, Penn having por- duced his deeds of feoffment from the Duke of York for the twelve miles surrounding New Castle, and also for the country below, the poseession and seisin of the New Castle grant were formally given to him by John Molt and Ephraim Herman, who had been constituted attorneys for that purpose by his Royal Highness. At the same time a number of the inhabitants signed a pledge of their obedience to the proprietary. On the same day he commissioned justices for New Castle, and constituted Markham his attorney to receive the possession of the territory below from the attorneys of the duke.

" A letter addressed to Ephraim Herman in respect to summoning a court to be held at New Castle on the 2d of November, and dated at Upland on the 29th of October, shows that he had then arrived at his seat of government. He may have arrived the day before. The fancy of the artist has portrayed the landing of Penn at Upland; but neither the hour, the day, nor the manner of his landing is certainly known.

" He landed at Upland, but the place was to bear that familiar name no more forever. Without reflection, Penn determined that the name of this place should be changed. Turning round to his friend Pearson, one of his own society, who had accompanied him in the ship ' Welcome,' he said, ' Providence has brought us here safe. Thou hast been the companion of my perils. What wilt thou that I should call this place?' Pearson said ' Chester,' in remembrance of the city from whence he came. William Penn replied that it should be called Chester, and that when he divided the land into counties, one of them should be called by the same name.' Thus from a mere whim the name of the oldest town; the name of the whole settled part of the province; the name that would naturally have a place in the affections of a large majority of the inhabitants of the new prov- ince, was effaced to gratify the caprice or vanity of a friend. All great men occasionally do little things."

Immediately after Penn's arrival he dispatched messen- gers to Lord Baltimore, evidently for the purpose of pro- curing an interview and a settlement of their difficulties. He at the same time went to New York to "pay his duty" to the duke by way of a visit to his government. Upon his return he caused three counties to be laid off,-Chester, Philadelphia, and Bucks. This is said, upon what au- thority we know not, to have been done Nov. 25, 1682.

PASSENGERS ON THE "WELCOME."

No full record of those who accompanied Penn on the " Welcome" seems to have been preserved, but Edward Armstrong, Esq., several years ago prepared from various sources a tolerably complete list, which is here given. It is likely that, including children, the number was over one hundred :

"The captain of the ' Welcome' was Robert Greenaway. He died April 14, 1685.

"The passengers were :

"John Barber and Elizabeth, his wife, a daughter of John Song- hurst, of Shipley, county of Sussex, England. A 'first purchaser.' He is supposed to have died on the voyage.

Among his earliest publications was an almanac, printed in Philadelphia, the title-page of which was as follows : 'An Almanaok for the year of the Christian Account, 1687, by Daniel Leeds, Student in Agriculture; printed and sold by Willliam Brad- ford, pro anno, 1687.' He subsequently removed to New York, and established The New York Gazette, the first newspaper published in that city. He passed an active and useful life, and died in 1752, aged 89 years. His descendents have been numerous, and many of them have cocupied highly respectable and influential positions in society. " William Buckinan, Mary, his wife, and children, Sarah and Mary, of the parish of Billinghurst, Sussex.

"John Carver and Mary, his wife, of Hertfordshire. He suffered, in 1681, in the persecutions of the Quakers in England; was a ' first purchaser' ; died in 1714.

Chestnut Street, in Philadel- phia, is said to have been originally named after him."

ARRIVALS BETWEEN 1682 AND 1688.

A partial registry of arrivals was made between the years 1682 and 1688, but for what reason is not very clear. That it was not made at the time of the arrivals is evident from the irregularity of dates and some inaccuracies therein. Many of those who came as servants were bound to serve a certain length of time after their arrival, and it was doubtless on account of these that a record was made, but many others are also given. An impression prevails with some persons that all the early immigrants were registered, but that was not the case, on this side of the water at least ; but it need not be remarked how valuable such a record would now be. The original of the list here given is in possession of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, together with another made especially for Bucks County, which contains some additional names. It is quite possible there was one for Chester County, but no such document has been referred to in late years. Many of those in the fol- lowing list settled in Chester County.
