William Penn's Twenty-Three Ships

WILLIAM PENN'S TWENTY-THREE SHIPS With Notes on Some of Their Passengers BY MARION BALDERSTON * On 29 December 1682, William Penn wrote from Upland (Chester), Pennsylvania, to an unidentified friend, "Blessed be the Lord, that of 23 ships none miscarried. . . ." This is the earliest hint we have as to the number of vessels that brought settlers that year to Pennsylvania. "... Only two or three had the small pox," Penn continued, "else healthy and swift passages generally, such as have not been known; some had but twenty-eight days, and few longer than six weeks." He had been in his province exactly two months; so far everything had gone well, and his mood was still jubilant.' The number twenty-three stayed in his mind, for he used it again the following July when he wrote to the Earl of Sunderland, adding that "tradeing [i.e., freighters] 40 great and small since the last summer" had also arrived. Four days earlier he had said they had "had fifty sail of ships and small vessels," and in another letter said "about sixty sail of great and smal shipping" had come up-river since the previous summer of 1682! So we come back to the number twenty-three. • Mrs. Balderston is a native Philadelphian, daughter of the late Albert Rittenhouse Rubincam and his wife Ida May Pike;and is the widow of John Lloyd Balderston, correspondent, teacher, author and distinguished playwright. She is a direct descendant of Johann Philipp Rebenkam and his wife Margaretha Catharine Sartorius who emigrated with her family to Philadelphia in 1726, and of Elizabeth (Griscons) Ross Ashburn Claypool,, naore familiarly known as "the flag-maker." With her husband Mn. Balderston spent many years in England; for her work during World War II she was made a Dame of the British Empire. Currendy she is associated with the Henry E. Huntington Library at San Marino, Calif., and has been spending her summers in London abstracting the references to Pennsylvania, 1680-1690, found in the port books in thc public Record Office. Penn's letter was first printed in part in Robert Proud, T be History of Pennsylvania is, North Amer... (Philadelph(a, 1797), I, 209n, hereinafter cited as Proud, History. See also Samuel M.

However, from two contemporary, partial registers of arrivals in Pennsylvania which have survived, from the English port books, and from letters and newspaper notices, it is possible to piece together a record, at least in part, of the ships and of Penn's "First Adventurers" who arrived in Pennsylvania between December 1681, and December, 1682. From these assorted records appear the names of twenty-one different ships "with passengers," as Penn described them, and twenty-three voyages; the name of one ship is unknown, and the Bristol Factor sailed twice for Pennsylvania. All but one—from New England—were from England or Ireland; they do not include the ships from the West Indies or other British colonies of which we have no accurate record. The port books are particularly useful. Goods going out of the country and intended for sale in foreign parts were dutiable. Such exports were entered in special volumes with the name of the shipper, who might be a merchant or a passenger, the date, the ship and its master, and the destination. Personal possessions of passengers were not dutiable, even though they might weigh several hundred pounds; they had to pass the customs inspection, but no record of the personal possessions was kept. The captain was paid freightage by the owners for these personal goods, and his boatswain kept a book of records, but the port books do not show these names. Fortunately, many of the early colonists took with them small quantities of goods for barter or sale on arrival at their destination. In this case the port books list the shipper, the items, the destination and duty, the number of parcels and their weight, the information being entered in several different books. Although regular merchants also began to send to this new market, it is usually possible to distinguish them from the passengers and intended settlers. Quantities sent by merchants were greater, and their names occur on other similar lists of ships bound for other parts of the world. But since the emigrant with some useful oddments for barter usually took the bundle with him, it seems highly probable the emigrant sailed on the vessel on which his goods are listed. Of the more than 14,000 port books issued until 1696, when the form was changed, over 1200 exist, many of them large and containing up to 600 folios or 1200 pages each. For 1681 and 1682, the books are fairly complete and fairly legible. Their contents by no means represent passenger lists —permits to leave the country were not required after 1679 — for sometimes a ship with as many as 180 people on board, such as the William Penn's Twenty-three Ships 29 Samuel from London—an extreme case—listed only half a dozen people who shipped dutiable goods intended for sale in Pennsylvania. But the books do show the names of many persons not known to have come so early; they suggest the parts of England from which the people came, since emigrants naturally sailed from the nearest port, and they correct many errors, both as to people and ships, which have crept from family legend into serious history. Whether merchant or colonist, the process of putting goods on board a ship was the same. London had seven different customs officials, a small port perhaps four, each of whom had a staff of clerks, weighers, deputies, etc. The owner of merchandise to be shipped had to see them all. First he took his goods and a bill describing them to the C3Ilector, who totalled the duty to be paid, and passed the owner on to the Controller. He checked the bill of goods previously made out by the owner or shipper, and entered it into his book. From there the owner went to the Surveyor who checked it again, and entered it into his book, and then went on to the Surveyor-General, who did the same thing. These last three officials were primarily interested in the destination of the goods. They usually wrote m the name of the ship, its master, always the shipper's name, and the destination, not necessarily of the ship, but of the particular bale or parcel they were examining. The shipper next took his bill back to the Collector and paid his customs fee. This official now copied all the details into his book and prepared a warrant. With this "cocket" to show that all goods had been weighed, checked and duty paid, the shipper was free to take his merchandise from the Customs House to have it stowed on the ship. The Searcher now appeared, checked what was going on board, and saw that it was properly stowed. Sometimes he ordered parcels opened and searched, to prevent unlawful exportation. Details of the warrant and the shipper's bill were entered in his book. In the case of the big port of London, additional Searchers were stationed downriver at Gravesend, where another check could be made, using the figures sent down from London. On the face of it, this would seem to have been a watertight, if cumbersome and time-wasting system. But it was designed to provide a record of the trade of the country, and of the income arising from duties on exports and imports, on which the king's revenue depended. Therefore everything, dutiable or not, had to pass through the customs. The system and its records extended from the small duty laid on goods leaving England to the much larger ones laid on goods coming in, included separate books for wine and wool, and even officials appointed merely to check on other officials. 30 The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine It was an age of almost universal bribery, and every new system that was introduced immediately developed loopholes. The underpaid officials depended on gratuities. Smugglers flourished, and at one time merchants were forbidden by law to live too near the wharves—too much dutiable merchandise passed over their garden walls on moonless nights! No figures of exports or imports in this early period can be really reliable, since a great deal more went out and came in ihan the port books show. But this is a problem for the economic historian; the books themselves are accurate enough for those interested in the people who as emigrants sent goods on the ships, what they sent, and how much. Special care must be taken, in the case of the larger exporters, to determine whether they accompanied their intirchandise, came on another ship, or came at all. Philip Ford, for instance, sent the greatest amount of goods to Pennsylvania, but never came; he was undoubtedly acting as Penn's agent as well as for himself. John Richardson loaded goods on the Amity in April, 1682, and again in the Hopewell in July, 1683. Did he come on either ship, or was he already here? Again, James Claypoole put hardware and nails on the Jeffrey in September, 1682, but did not sail until July, 1683. Knowing when a warrant to survey land was issued, is useful in deter mining if and when a colonist came, but not a proof in itself. An agent could get a warrant ahead of time for an employer; Claypoole sent a servant over nearly a year before he came himself, with instructions to build a house. Others sent over relatives or servants to apply for their land. On the other hand, a family might wait in the colony several months before the warrant was issued. If the colonist was a First Purchaser, having already purchased land to be laid out in Pennsylvania, and if his name appears on a ship's list in the port books, it is fairly certain he came it that time. But there are some exceptions, as with merchants who bought large tracts of land out of friendship for Penn, or as an investment to sell later. Such sales, fortunately, are frequently noted in the minutes of the Board of Property,' Dates on certificates of removal from the emigrant's monthly meeting are particularly helpful; a study of them shows that generally they were granted at the meeting which took place just before sailing. First Purchaser. (hereinafter P.P.) were those who had purchased in England from Penn, before he saikd for his province in 1682, land to be located and hid out in Pennsylvania. Their names, apparently listed in the order of purchase, with the amount of hod each bought, are printed in Pennsylvania Archives 11s3 Series] (Philadelphia, 1852), I, 40-46, and in Samuel Hazard, Annals of ,Pentssylvania from the DinConroy if tbe Delaware, 06094682 (Philadelphia, 3830), 637-642, hereinafter cited as Hazard, Annals. An alphabetical listing of both First Purchasms and later purchasers, compiled by Joseph Reed in 3774, is in Pennsylvania Archives, sod Series, III, 327-344. For minutes of the Board of Property, see ibid., 2nd Series, XIX (1890), and 3rd Series, I. The "Old Rights," which list alphabetically by county persons to whom warrants for laying out hod were issued, and for whom surveys of /and were returned into the surveyor general's office, with the dates of such papers, are in ibid., 3rd Series, II, III. William Penn's Twenty-three Ships 31 In the port books, for convenience the current day, month and year was written at the head of each page. On the first line was then entered the name of the ship, the master and destination. Then followed each entry, numbered consecutively, of the shipper's name and the bales or parcels of goods which had passed that particular customs official and were loaded on that particular day. In any busy port, Just one day's entries, covering a dozen different ships, perhaps, would spread over several pages. For the purpose of the following record, the individual entries relating to a particular ship have been abstracted, and in some cases condenesd, and arranged chronologically under the single heading of the ship's name. Entries for shippers loading goods on that ship for destinations other than Pennsylvania have not been included. As the clerks keeping these records used a sort of shorthand in listing the goods loaded, their less familiar abbreviations have been spelled out, and figures for weight or size, given in lower case Roman numerals, have been translated into the more familiar Arabic numbers. Spelling has been modernized. As a result of the vagaries of seventeenth century handwriting, the peculiar method by which quantities were determined, and the physical condition of the pages themselves, the interpretation of many of the entries which follow in the record below, remains open to question. In the following lists, the ships have been placed in the order, or approximate order, of their arrival in the Delaware River. The surviving port books for London, Bristol and Liverpool, from which the entries have been abstracted, do not give the dates of departure, only the various loading dates. Wind and weather controlled the time of departure and varied each vessel's speed; not all ships made Pennsylvania their first port of call. The first ship bound for Pennsylvania, the Bristol Factor, left Bristol about the middle of October, 1681, and reach',:d New Castle on the Delaware 15 December 1681, according to a letter written from there the following day.' A great deal of merchandise intended for Virginia was For the letter, see Ephraim Herman to Capt. Br.kholls, 16 D.. 168V "Yesterday armed here • ship from Bristol haueing had 9 weekes passage ... ," ibid., Sod Series, VII (1890), 86,6. In Proud, History, 1, 193, the date of the ship's arrival is given as 11 December, which may have been the date the ship reached the Cap.. Proud claimed, and later writers have perpetuated his statement, that the Factor came up ea far 43 Upland, stopped for the night, was frozen in, and obliged to remain there all winter. However, Penn, a better authority, wrote that the winter was "mild, scarce any Ice at all." See "Letter from William Penn to the Committee of the Free Society of Traders, 1633," in Albert Cook Myers, a., Narratives of Early Pennsylvania, West New Jersey and Delaware, 1610-1707 (New York, 1912), 226, herein, after cited as Myers, Narrative. The letter is also printed in Hazard, Register, 1, 433. What the Factor actually did was to go from the Delaware around into the Chesapeake to Virginia, from which place it returned to Bristol in the spring of 1682 , laden with tobacco. 32 The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine put on this ship; one port book definitely marks John Bezer's goods for Virginia, the other gives no destination, which in this case implies Virginia, to which colony Bezer had been a regular shipper. Although the ship carried at least sixteen adults and a number of children, the port books show only two entries of dutiable goods destined for Pennsylvania in 1681.° The Bristol Factor [1] Roger Drew, master 28 [September, 1681] THOMAS C000ORNE—NAINANO21.

While their ship was loading in Bristol, a small 100-ton ship, the John & Sarah, was being loaded in London with additional goods for Pennsylvania. On it two more commissioners, William Haige and William Crispin, planned to sail; their names, however, do not appear in the London port book for 1681. The only hint as to when this ship arrived is found in a letter from Lord Baltimore, dated 11 March 1681/2, complaining about William Haige, who, he said, had come over "this shipping" and had taken observations at the head of Chesapeake Bay.'

England and her colonies, until Sept. 1712, used the Julian Calendtt in computing dam. While the historical year began as now on 1 January, the church, civil and legal year began on 25 March, which Quakero called the first month (1m). Thus between these two dates the system of double-dating was used: 5 Ibm 1681/2 for I January 1682, and 14 1m 1681/2 for 14 March 1682.

Meanwhile the Bristol Factor, the first Pennsylvania-bound ship, had returfted to its home port laden with tobacco from Virginia. Toward the end of July it began taking on goods for another voyage across the Atlantic. Its last load, which was for Virginia, went on 2 September, but there was always some delay before the actual time of sailing, and more days before reaching the open sea. Its precise date of arrival is not known, but one man, Evan Oliver, who shipped goods on this vessel, wrote that his seventh child was born 24 October "within sight of the Capes of Delaware." As it would have taken at least three days, probably more, to come up the Delaware, this family has been said to have come on the same ship as Penn, himself, since the arrival times were nearly coincidental.'"

Early in July the most famous of the 1682 ships, the 284-ton Welcome, was being loaded in the Thames with goods for Pennsylvania. William Penn, its most celebrated passenger, was not listed in the London port book, since he did not bring goods for barter or sale. He boarded the vessel 29 or 30 August when it was in the Dawns, off Deal; departure would have been soon after. Among the other passengers were two dozen or more from Sussex who were old friends and neighbors of the Penns. Those who survived the smallpox epidemic which plagued the voyage would settle near Pemisbury in the expectation they would continue to be neighbors of the proprietor. The Welcome's first landfall was probably about the same as the Factor's; certain it is they dropped anchor See Humana, 227, and Pennsylvania Archives, Sod Series, XIX, 14I; also PGM, XIX, 242, for the wonsen's certificate.

He brought to Pennsylvania two daughters, Sarah, aged 12, and Katherine, aged 10, and probably his Sod wife, believed to be Sarah Bickerstaff, whom he had probably just married. Why he shipped goods on the Factor, sailing from Bristol over 100 miles away, when the Lamb was loading goods in Liverpool, considerably nearer, is not clear. See Lloyd M.141CriPilp 32-84, for an account of Blanton; also Smith, Delaware Costley, 447, which accounts do not agree in all respects. Bye warrant dated 24 6m 1612, to John Slimston 'le ors.. to lay out sundry tracts, there was surveyed on 10 7m 1682, two separate tracts for Blunston of 350 acres and ISO acres.

No known ships with passengers arrived in the Delaware during November, but in December two sailed up river. The first of these was the Antelope, bringing Irish passengers. Naturally it does not appear in the English port books, but some of the passengers registered their arrival as being on 9 or 10 December 1682.1" The Antelope [21] Edward Cooke, master, from Belfast ANN MILCOME (Mallcum) of Armagh in Ireland, "with her Children Jane Grmves, Mary Milcome." 110 to February, 1683, James Claypool, wrote that he had heard "there had been 21 sail ships arrived last summer in Delawae," and that Penn "had held a Court Pmsilvania and was gone to hold mother in New Casde...." The court or assembly at Upland opened 4 Dec. 1682, and adjourned 7 Dec. 1682 "for 21 days." Votes. I, 1, 11. By then, summer was certainly over; with the arrival of the Antelope, 21 known ships had come in with passengers, and the variant data of arrival, as given in PMHB, VIII, 129, and ibid., IX, 224, are dose enough in time to account for the news Claypoole had heard. ANN MALLCUM (Milcome, Malcom), of Killmore parish, Ballyhagan Meeting. Ireland, brought a mrtificate of removal dated 1 1m 1682. Possibly the widow of John Malcom, she and her daughter JANE GILEAVE3 (Greer) of Loughall, because they had "no man in their family, acept they might get a servant or savants, end having no want of things necessary for a liveliehood," had decided to emigrate as early as 9 4m 1681, the mother being unwilling to part with her daughter who particularly wanted to go. The certificate seems to have included, though not by name, "her mher daughter," and "another daughter of hers, and ha husband and children," and mentioned that "several neighbors also" intended to "adventure." See Falls Monthly Meeting Certificata of Removal, 15, cited in Note 73 above; also Myers, Immigration, 300, cited in Note 6 Move. In February, 1684, it was reported to Path Meeting that Ann "Malcom dab keep disorderly house and Sell Strong Liquors to English and Indians Suffering them to drink till they be drunk.... Also about her Daughter Mary's Loose Carriage which is reported she is addicted to." See Amman of Falls Monthly Meeting Minutes, 8, GSP.

John Dow, and presumably his wife, were decased by 2 9m 1685, when the PhiladelpRo Meeting had a letter from William Berry of Kent Co., mentioned in Note 77 above, "concerning the children of John Lowe, deceased." Arrangements were made for the children to be sent up from the Lower Counties; Archibald Mickel took the boy, Griffith Jon,. "the middle Girl," and the youngest was "to be disposed of" by the women friends. PGSP, I, 290, 295, 297; Ibid., II, 94, 98.

This was the 300 - ton Unicorn, bearing goods for both Pennsylvania and Virginia. The first mention of this ship was in the London Gazette of 22 June 1682, where, under the Bristol dateline of 17 June it was announced the ship was "now ready to take in Goods and Passengers and to Sail the next month" for "Pensilvania and New-Jersey." Those wishing to take freight or passage were directed to apply to Thomas Goldney or John Dudlestone "in High-street" or to the commander. Not until the beginning of the last week in August was any cargo loaded for Pennsylvania; Virginia goods went on after that up to 2 September. But the ship did not sail immediately, and on 5 October 1682, the London Impartial Mercury noted that in Bristol a ship was "fitting out for Pensylvania on board which 40 Quakers together with their families will imbarq." The paper reported that "tis said they carry over with them 3 00 pounds-worth of Half-pence, and Farthings which in that Colony go current for twice their value and 'tis added that some discontented Presbyterians will Likewise accompany them." Twelve days later the same paper reported that a ship from Bristol "full fraught with Quakers bound for Pennsylvania, is ready to sail."

AOpuently matters were cleared up, however, for he declared intentions of marriage with Hannah Newby of New Jersey in 1684, and was given a certificate of clearness to that plane. PGSP, I, 255-257, 271-272 By 1701 he had married Hannah Day, widow of the carpenter John Day, mentioned in Note 86 above. Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd Series, XIX, 205, 458. One other family might have been on the Antelope, that of Valentine Hollingsworth. He was Croon Balleniackerannel, parish of Sego, Armagh, and is said to have brought his wife Ann, daughter Mary and her husband Thomas Conway of Lisburn, Antrim; daughter Catherine, who m. in 1688 George Robinson; probably sons Thomas and Samuel, and an indmtured servant, John Musgrave.

The last ship to arrive from England before the year was out was the Submission. From its log, which survives in part, comes its date of sailing from Liverpool: 6 7m (September) 1682, the passengers having embarked the day before. The voyage was a stormy one, as a result of which in all probability, the vessel came into Chesapeake Bay, rather than into the Delaware. The passengers landed at Choptank, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland on 2 9m (November) 1682, and word of their arrival certainly reached Penn before the end of the year. Most of the passengers had made their way to Appoquiminy Creek, twenty miles south of New Castle, by mid-February 1683.5 " "" WILLIAM Ccoun (Clowde) horn Seene, Wiltshire, RP. of 500 acres, had his land laid out sash, south side of Naaman's Creek in Chester Co. His son Joseph Cloud had come in as a servant to John Beres who had loaded goods on the Bristol Factor in October, 1681, for whom see Note 7 above. In 1691, William Cloud conveyed 200 acres to Joseph and John Cloud; three years later Joseph conveyed his rights to "his Brother John Cloud." Other brothers, who presumably came with the father, were William, Jr., Jeremiah and Robert Cloud. Cbester Court Records, 250, 326; Smith, Delaware County, 453. Jacob Willis was probably on the Unicorn, also. He claimed he had come 'Into the Country at the int Settling of it" as servant to William Cloud. James Widows and Elizabeth Clayton, servants to John Deur, may have been on the ship. Widows in 1685 took up on rent 2000 acres in New Castle County which be sold to Henry Pierce in 1703. Christian Steward, who came in a servant to Nathaniel Allen, also cited in Note 7 above, may have been on this ship. She later married John Pullen; both she and James Widows sold their headrights to Isau Taylor. Pennsylvania Archives, Sod Senes, XIX, 265, 406, 470.

James obtained an order for survey from the Proprietor dated 13 9m (Nov.) 1682, for part of his 500 acres which was laid out in Falls Top., Bucks Co. Had the Unicorn arrived by that date? He settled in Burlington Co., however, where he was sheriff in 1685 and 1692, and had died by 1698.

Though the Subrmssion did not actually come up the Delaware, its passengers were destined for that river, and did cross the Atlantic before the end of the year, to complete Penn's total of twenty-three ships with passengers, as distinct from trading vessels; these would have been from the West Indies and small coastal vessels. Pennsylvania, with its steadily increasing population, was a good market as well as a religious haven. It is now appropriate to say something about a wholly imaginary ship which was supposed to have left London in the fall of 1681 and taken thirty weeks to reach the Delaware, having been blown off course to the West Indies. It was said to have arrived finally on 16 April 1682, a date so positive as to give credence to the story. The tale comes from a well known letter written by John Jones, the son of a young Welsh emigrant named Thomas Sion [John] Evan. According to this letter, Thomas Evan came in a ship called the William Penn which sailed from London. He had waited there some weeks for it to sail, having made a previous trip to town to find out about the proJaw, aged 40, and children Barbara, 13, Dorothy, 10, Isaac 4 mos., and Mary Jones, 12. They were servants of the Proprietor: ESis Jones was Penn% miller. Probably for his services he was granted a warrant for a city lot 17 4c0 1683, and acquired land in Chester Co.

The Blackshaws had sent over odes servants on the Friend's Adventure, for which see Note 72 above. The fifth family on the Subneinion was that of James Ciarrow, aged 50, from Cheshire. With him came his wife Jane, aged 48, and their children James, 16, Sarah, 14, John, II, Mary, 8, and Joseph and Lydia .'Cleaton,” both aged 1. He obtained a warrant for 250 acres in Chester Co. on 24 On IMO. Penneylvania Archives, sod Series, III, 11. 66 The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine posed colony. During the tedious thirty-week voyage, Thomas Evan learned to speak English. The letter was apparently written about 1725, eighteen years after the death of Thomas Evan; his son put down what he remembered of what his father had remembered, thereby causing writers a great deal of work trying to reconcile the various dates mentioned in the letter. The father no doubt left London, as he said, in the fall of 1681, but in one of the many ships sailing to the West Indies, where he would have waited for trans-shipment to Pennsylvania in the spring. Norton Claypoole had done just this a short time before, as no doubt many other adventurous young men did.'" All evidence points to the inaccuracy of the account. In the first place, young Evan need not have gone all the way to London from Wales to learn about the new colony; there was plenty of talk and knowledge there among Friends about Pennsylvania, and sales of land to be laid out in the new province had already been made. Second, the port books show no ship named William Penn, and no ship of any name leaving London for Pennsylvania in the fall of 1681, except the John es( Sarah, which did not take thirty weeks.
