Originally from Bradninch, Eng, 11 miles N of Exeter, just off the A-38 near Cullompton . Bradninch is about 40 miles NE of Plymouth in the SE courner of Eng. Sailed to America before 1713; Came to America, from England, in 1712. He was dismissed from Quaker Church (Gwyned M M PA) in 1748 because he tolerated the marriage of 2 of his children (MOU) marrying out of the church membership. Probably one of the reasons he moved May 1, 1750 to Holman Fork on the Yadkin River, Rowan Co, NC. Described as: strong, wiry, rather small stature, ruddy complexion, red hair, grey eyes. Their grave stones were standing until recently, because of depredation of souvenior-hunters, the stones have been enclosed in a strong steel cage as protection from vandalism.
