1. Unknown Stacye b. ca 1514, m. ca 1536, Unknown.

From The Ely, Revell, and Stacye Families by Reuben Pownall Ely 1910: "The name STACYE, according to the author of the Norman People, 'comes from TACEY, Robert and Gervase, Normandy, 1180-95, John TASSI 1272 England, TACY; Rualen de Tissie, Normandy.' In Lower's Patronymica Britannica, 'STACE from either EUSTACE or STATIUS, is probably of continental origin, as the final E is sometimes accented, and from STACE we get STACY.'

"The family of STACYE, of which Mahlon, the founder of Trenton, was a younger son, was seated at Ballifield Hall, Parish of Handsworth, in the West Riding of Yorkshire bordering Derbyshire certainly from about the year 1330 down to the close of the 19th Century. Still earlier in 36th year of the reign of King Henry 111, 1252, a cleric of the name Eustace was rector of Handsworth Church. This is confirmed also in Familiae Minorium Gentium, in which is stated the Ballifield family of STACYE was reported to have held that estate from the time of the Norman Conquest.

"The Arms of the Stacyes, as given in Burke's General Armory, are Azure, a fesse between three martletts, or charged with three fleurs de lis. These arms have never been recorded at the College of Arms, but that may also be stated of the arms of other ancient families in England. The earliest mention of Stacy arms omits the fleurs de lis and are somewhat similar to the early arms used by the ancient family of Furnival, Lords of Hallamshire, which included Ballifield. This family was descendants of the Viscount Eustachius of the Domesday period. These arms differed from those of Stacy only in the number of martletts and the use of the bend instead of the fesse, a common difference. There was also a family of Eustace, which used the same arms as the Furnivals. In Scotland, the Ross Herald, Joseph Stacie, bore arms: Azure, on a bend, or, between three owls as many thistles. These characters and colors also correspond with the English arms.

"The most ancient Arms of the Stacy name in Ireland is described as follows: the Shield is gold with a red cross X; the Crest is a stag, and the motto is 'Cur me persequeris.'

"In the records of the Franciscans at Scarborough, Yorkshire, about fifty miles east of Ballifield, is an inscription in Latin, which translated, reads: 'The most illustrious Lord and King Edward the Second and Regnald, called Molendinarius, were the families of the house of the Brothers Minor of Scarboroughe. Here are the tombs of the nobles who were buried in said Church of the said Brothers. And the first called Reginaldi lies under the great altar in the middle choir, also the Lady Avicia Huthrede, also the Lady Matilda Stacy, also the Lady Agnes de Vesey, also Edward Stacy.'

"In 1366, 20th year Edw. II, Yorkshire Arch. Journal, Vol 12, mentions John Stacy de Balifielde and John de Synderhill, witnesses to a deed. Synderhill was a part of the Ballifield estate and held by the Stacyes. The name of de Heley or de Helay also occurs frequently at this period in connection with land transfers in the vicinity of Ballifield.

”Fisher's History of Masham has the following reference: 'Orate pro Domino Johanne Stacy (Prebendary of Banbury in the Cathedral of Lincoln). He died 1394.' And in the ancient will of Wm. Harpele, Esquire to the King of England, 10th of May 1392, appears the signature of 'Dom'no Johanne Stacye cum rege.' In another work found at the Astor Library either in Calendar Etoniensis or a book of early ecclesiastics of England, the name is given 'John de Stacy.' This same book refers to 'William de Ely or Hely,' the King's Treasurer, also Prebendary of Lincoln in 1207 and of London 1192.

"In Lincolnshire Pedigrees by Maddison, the pedigree is given of the Stacys of Castle Bytham, Lincolnshire with the same arms as used by the Stacyes of Ballifield.

"In Tenterden Church, Kent County, the arms of another branch of the Stacys are to be found or were there, according to one the Histories of Kent. They were a branch of the Castle Bytham family.

"The Stacyes of Ballifield also owned Bramley Hall, Synderhill, (the name now happily changed to Handsworth Grange) and also leased Dore House, probably of the Duke of Norfolk, all adjoining Ballifield property. It is stated in the Yorkshire Archaeologist that the family also held Raynor House, probably somewhere in the vicinity. Another branch of the Ballifield family, of which Robert Stacy was the head in 1666, held at that time the Manor of Owlerton. This estate is now a part of the City of Sheffield. A 'Court Baron' was held at Owlerton in 1666, at which Robert Stacy was Lord of the Manor and William Simpson, the Steward.

"About the year 1600 the Rev. John Stacye was appointed Governor and Chaplain of Shrewsbury Hospital in Sheffield, endowed by the Countess of Shrewsbury. It is quite a remarkable fact, especially to Americans, to find almost three centuries later, another Rev. John Stacye of the same family Governor of the same institution. The Antiquary, an English publication, gives the following notice of the latter's death in 1889: 'Sheffield and the district around have lost a most worthy Archaeologist in the Rev. J. Stacye, M.A., for thirty-nine years Governor and Chaplain of Shrewsbury Hospital. He died on December 20th at the age of eighty.'

"In a Pedigree of the Family of Cockayne-Vernon of Derbyshire, mention is made of the marriage of one of the Cockayne family to Elizabeth Stacy, daughter of Sir Thomas Stacy; arms: a fesse between three birds or date about 1520. If the Stacyes used these arms at that period, the addition of the three fleurs de lis to the shield and the adoption of the crest used by the Elys of Utterly, Lincolnshire may have been due to the intermarriage with that family."

The above is quoted from Reuben Pownall Ely's book and I want to thank him for such a wonderful history of our English ancestry at Ballifield. He made a visit to Ballifield in 1903 and gives wonderful descriptions of Ballifield Hall, Synderhill House, and says the burying ground is not over forty feet square and only a stone's throw from the old Synderhill House, which in the time of George Fox, was a residence and after that used as a meetinghouse for the Society of Friends. There are several photos in his book of relics and antiquities once owned by the Stacyes and now held in London in the Victoria and Albert Museum. This book is a must read for descendants of the Ely, Revell, and Stacye families. The book is out of print, but Higginson Publishers will make a copy of the book.

Jim Stacy, a direct descendant and Stacy researcher says, "Personally I believe that based on the coats of arms, among other circumstantial evidence, that all English Stacye/Stacy/Staceys/etc. are descended from Roger de Stacy de Ballifield, a French knight granted a fief in Handsworth (Sheffield), York (now West Riding) c. 1243. Roger claimed descent from Eustace, Count of Boulogne, William the Conqueror's Lieutenant, and probably the chief instigator of William's claim to the English throne. The English Eustace and Eustices are also descended from the Count. We know that the Stacyes of Essex were in that county before 1490, not only in Epping but also in nearby Waltham Cross. Simple statistics and probability make the odds that these Stacyes were related greater than that they were not."

The Parish Church of St. Mary's, Handsworth was founded over 800 years ago. It is the ancestral church of the Stacyes and many are buried at the East End of the church. Several memorials and arms of the family are located there. The Parish records are at Handsworth Parish Centre.

C. Ray Stacy says, "The Stacye ancestral home and church are in Handsworth, Sheffield (Yorkshire), England. The old Manor House, Ballifield Hall, where the Stacyes lived for 600 years, is still in good condition. An ancient mulberry tree in the garden is still bearing fruit. Nearby, the Parish Church of St. Mary's, Handsworth contains memorials and arms of the family. At the East End of the church are graves of many members of the family. Stacye family records can be seen at the Rectory. The Victoria and Albert Museum have many items presented by Rev. E. V. Stacye. Legend has it that Eustachius came over with William the Conqueror in 1066 and was given Balle, the Dane's Field." The Handsworth Genealogy Society notified me that Ballifield is now a children's home and the only large estate left in that area. C. Ray Stacy says, "there is a theory that a William Stacye/Stacy was the real author hiding behind the name of Diers Plouman."

Ships to America: 1677, The Kent from London departed Mar 1677, arrived at Burlington, New Jersey on Jun 23, 1677, Gregory Marlow, Master. It should be noted that many passengers alleged to have been aboard were from Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, and other northern counties. They probably loaded at a northern port, perhaps Hull or Liverpool, before the Kent arrived at London, which is why they do not appear in the London loadings. (Passengers and Ships Prior to 1684, and Penn's Colony, Vol I, by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. 1970. Robert Stacy was on this passenger list and was the brother of Mahlon).

Ships to America: 1677, the fly boat, Martha, from Hull (London), England arrived at the end of summer 1677 bringing 114 passengers for the Yorkshire Tenth at Burlington, New Jersey; Thomas Wildbuys/Wildcup, Master. Aboard was the family of Robert Stacy. (Passengers and Ships Prior to 1684 and Penn's Colony, Vol I, by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. From other records published on Mahlon Stacy, we now know these ships actually arrived in 1678 and not 1677 because of the time change).

Keasbey's Courts and Lawyers of New Jersey, Vol I P/147: "A Court at Burlington in 1681 was composed of Robert Stacy, Tho. Olive, Sam'll Jenings, Thomas Budde, John Thompson, Thomas Lambert, Mahlon Stacy, Richard Guy, and Edward Bradway. William Emley was elected sheriff, and Thomas Revell, register. The jurisdiction was from St. Pink (Assunpink) to Old Man's Creek."

From History of Trenton 1679-1929, Vol II, Princeton University Press 1929; Learning and Spicer's Grants and Concessions, P/409 FF: "At this stage of the narrative the names of the signers of the Grants and Concessions should, I think be published, so the readers of this history may be informed who were the brave men who subscribed this fearless document which had such a large measure of influence upon our subsequent Constitution and Bill of Rights, and embodies so much of the organic law under which we live and flourish to this day." (There are 150 names on this list; among them, Robert Stacy, Henry Stacy, Mahlon Stacy, Joshua Wright, John Smith, Thomas Smith, Hipolitas Lefever, John Paine, Daniel Leeds, Thomas Revel, John Pancoast, and John Snowden).

"Incidentally, in the present chapter will be found mention of the names of Robert Stacy and Henry Stacy. Robert was brother of Mahlon." (Hunter's History of Hallamshire, P/488: "Hallamshire was a former manor, but has long since disappeared." This statement is the only proof I have that Robert Stacy was Mahlon's brother).

Mahlon Stacye was born at Ballifield Hall, Handsworth Parish, in Sheffield (Yorkshire), England and parish records have the name as Stacye. Dore House was the Manor and Estate he occupied after he was married. He arrived in America on the Shield, which departed Hull (or London) in Dec 1678. Other ship records have 1677, but the time difference makes the year 1678, as noted in several books and scripts about Mahlon. (A History of Trenton 1679-1929 published by The Trenton Historical Society, Princeton University Press in 1929, has a chapter of The Colonial Period by Edward Robert Walker, LL.D., Chancellor of New Jersey, and is a must to read if you are a descendant or relative of this family).

Mahlon Stacye of Ballifield in Nottingham Twp, Burlington County, NJ, yeoman 1638-1704, baptized 01-Jul-1638, Yorks, erected a mill at the junction of the Assunpink Creek on the Delaware River, and thus considered the founder of Trenton, NJ 1680. He was a member of the Council of Proprietors of West Jersey, Commander of West Jersey, a member of the Royal Governor's Council, a member of the Provincial Assembly, and J. P. of Burlington County.

His will is dated Jan 4, 1703 and proved Apr 24, 1704: I, Mahlon Stacy of Ballifield, in the Twp of Nottingham, in the County of Burlington, in the Province of Nova Cesarea, Yeoman, being of good and perfect memory, blessed by God, and willing to sett in order, my temporal estate, well knowing the uncertainty of this transitory life, do make this my Last Will and Testament, in manner and forme following, revokeing, and hereby making voyd all former and other wills and testaments, heretofore by me made.

"Mahlon Stacye, the pioneer of Trenton, who owned all the land in what was for many years, the old city, and William Trent, the patron of the old town, are linked together in the history of this city. In Trenton we find the name Trent, and the beautiful park on the river front, including the grounds of the State House, and the Old Barracks, and extending from them up the river on the southwesterly side of the Sanhican Creek, as far as the city limits, is named Mahlon Stacy Park. The names of these worthy men are hyphenated in the Stacy-Trent Hotel at State and Willow Streets, the leading hostelry of the town. Both men were rich, owned and left slaves." (History of Trenton 1679-1929, Vol II, Princeton University Press 1929. Trenton was formerly called The Falls of the Delaware and was renamed by one Trent merchant who purchased it from Mahlon Stacy, Jr. in 1714).

The following is from St. Mary's Church in Yorkshire: "The Stacye Family in Handsworth. The Handsworth Parish Registers reveal that on 1st Jul 1638, Mahlon Stacye was baptized at St. Mary's Church. The Stacye family had lived at Ballifield Hall in Handsworth for centuries, but it was in America that Mahlon made his name and his fortune. The Stacye families were Quakers, one of the new religious sects, which surfaced in England after the Civil War. They dissented from traditional views and to 'respectable' society, the Quakers appeared extreme and even revolutionary. Their leader, George Fox, preached on Synderhill Green in Handsworth to thousands of people in the 1650s. Under the parliamentary rule of Oliver Cromwell, Quakers were treated with suspicion and hostility. During the restoration monarchy of Charles II, persecution of the Quakers was severe, especially in the early years, as they still refused to conform, even outwardly, to the Church of England. Their refusal to take off their hats or speak respectfully when in the presence of 'nobles' made them a particular object of hatred. Some members of the Stacye Families are buried in their own special Quaker Graveyard at Synderhill in Handsworth. In total, there are eight gravestones with plain inscriptions. This private family cemetery still exists, but it is now in the back garden of a house.

"Mahlon Stacye and Trenton, New Jersey: In his youth, Mahlon Stacye, in common with a great many other Quakers, decided to leave England. He and his family immigrated to America in the 1670s to begin a new life away from hatred and persecution. At this time the North American landmass was still being explored, colonized, and fought over by rival Europeans. It provided the perfect opportunity for a person such as Mahlon to make a fresh start in a land where he could practice his Quaker religion in freedom. He was given permission to build a new settlement at his new home by the River Delaware. Gradually, this settlement grew into Trenton, the capital of what is now called New Jersey. The first Church in Trenton was founded by Mahlon Stacye, who lived out the rest of his life in America. Mahlon died a wealthy and respected citizen. A link between the Stacye family times in England and America still exists in the form of 'Ballifield,' the name of the State House in New Jersey and the district adjacent to Handsworth."

From Burlington City, NJ - Religious Society of Friends: "The first Europeans to settle Burlington were members of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Founded by George Fox (please note George Fox above preaching to thousands in Handsworth at Synderhill, close to Ballifield) in the seventeenth-century in England, the Friends quickly met with persecution for their refusal to bear arms, take oaths, and pay tithes. Friends began leaving England for the religious freedom of America. More than one third of those originally purchasing land in Burlington had been fined or imprisoned for their beliefs in England. Even as their ship, The Kent, sailed down the Thames River, King Charles II boarded it from his royal barge and wished them a safe voyage. As the King's own laws led to much of the abuse the Quakers received in England, this blessing is usually viewed as a polite 'go away' at best."

An excerpt from Vol 1 of The Great Republic by the Master Historians, published in early 1900s: "The territory of New Jersey was granted in 1664 to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. Berkeley sold his share in 1674 to John Fenwick, in trust for Edward Byllinge, who subsequently assigned his claim to William Penn and two other Quakers. The province was then divided, Carteret receiving the eastern portion and the Quaker assignees the western portion, on the Delaware. It was in this way that William Penn became interested in the settlement of America. As two colonies, Massachusetts and Maryland had already been formed through the desire for religious liberty, it occurred to him to establish a refuge in the New World for the persecuted sect of which he was a member. A free constitution was given to the settlers, granting important privileges of civil and religious liberty. Quakers were specially recommended to take advantage of it, and more than four hundred immigrated to the province in 1677. In 1682, William Penn and eleven others purchased East Jersey, so that the whole province then came under Quaker control. Robert Barclay (another of my ancestors), author of the Apology for Quakers, an Explanation and Vindication of The Principles and Doctrines of the People called Quakers, was appointed Governor for life. In 1681, Penn obtained from Charles II, a grant of all the lands embraced in the present State of Pennsylvania. His purpose in this was not alone to convert and civilize the Indians, as expressed in the charter, but also to form an asylum for those desirous of civil and religious liberty. In Sep 1682, he set sail for his new province, with a large number of immigrants of his own religious belief. Others had preceded him."

LDS File #0517065, Gilbert Cope's Collection had, "Mahlon Stacy Senior died 2 mo. 5d. 1704," Chesterfield MM records. See also Woodward's Bordentown and Vicinity. This would convert to Apr 5, 1704. Other records have he died Apr 3, 1704 and was buried on Apr 5, 1704. His will was dated 1703 and probated in April 1704. Nottingham Twp is now Mercer County, NJ.

From Colonial Families of Philadelphia: "Mahlon Stacy, PP/1226, 1414, m. Rebecca Ely, P/1569 Land Transaction in 1714, P/1570 of Handsworth, Yorks, Eng., PP/289, 584, 659, 811, 1077, 1293, and 661, of Ballifield, England, PP/662, 711, 1086, 1102, 1718, 547, and 760, of Yorkshire, Eng." (This means that Mahlon Stacy and several members of his family were in Philadelphia at some point in time, and after he settled in NJ). From Colonial Families of Philadelphia: "Rebecca (Ely) Stacy PP/1077, 12226, 1293, 1414, 1570 Yorks, England to NJ 1678, PP/547, 584, 661, m. Mahlon Stacy." From Watson's Annals of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania: "A similar display of the natural abundance of the country is exhibited in the letter of Mahlon Stacy from Jersey, 'We have,' says he, 'peaches by cart loads.' The Indians bring us 7 or 8 fat bucks of a day. Without rod or net we catch abundance of herrings, after the Indian manner, in pinfolds. Geese, ducks, pheasants, are plenty."

Stacy servants, Stacy children, and Mahlon Stacy were on the Shield from London (or Hull), England, arrived at Burlington, (West) New Jersey Dec 1677/8, Daniel Towers/Towle/Towes), Master. Rebecca: A family of Elys of Richmond, Yorkshire is given in Burke's General Armor. There are two places for the name in County of York. One, the City of Richmond and two, a hamlet near Sheffield, adjoining Ballifield Hall, the estate of the Stacy/Stacye family. At this hamlet is a Richmond Park and at one time, occupied by the Harrisons, and by a family of Boroughs. Rebecca was born at Utterly Manor. Her will probated 26-Oct-1711. Married in Watkinson home.

Gordon's History of New Jersey, P/277: "Robert Stacy was one of the persons who came to West New Jersey in 1678 to represent the interests of the Yorkshire owners of the land that they had taken of Edward Byllinge in consideration of moneys which he owed, and which he was otherwise unable to pay. (Lib/G3/128), Joseph Helmsley and William Emley were his associates, together with Thomas Olive, Daniel Wills, John Penford and Benjamin Scott, who represented the London owners, and who also became seized of these lands from the same person and for the same reasons. Robert Stacy first settled at Burlington in discharge of his duties imposed upon him as commissioner; he here became a leading member in the Society of Friends, and took part in the political affairs of the colony. His occupation was that of a tanner; this business he did not resume until his removal to Philadelphia, which occurred a few years after his arrival; he there remained until his death. Among his children was a son, Henry, who, together with his wife Mary, came to New Jersey soon after his father, and also settled at or near Burlington. Besse, in his Sufferings of Friends, mentions that 'Henry Stacy was taken, on two different occasions, from religious meetings at Cirencester in Gloucestershire to prison and there detained for some time. This was in 1660/62, the subject of this sketch was, doubtless, the same person.' (My comment: If it is the same Henry Stacye, this Henry would have to be born earlier than ca 1656 or the 1660/62 date is wrong. I don't believe this is the same Henry Stacye).

P/278: "During his stay here he was appointed to a membership in the governor's council, a position at that day given only to a person of talent and strict integrity, and a station, which was one of the most responsible and difficult to fill (Leaming and Spicer's Laws). In addition to the inducements offered by his father's coming here, he was perhaps tempted to try his fortunes in the new colony by letters sent to him from those already settled, whose representations of the county and its productions were certainly very flattering. A letter from John Cripps to Henry Stacy will show in what light New Jersey was held by those already here, in early times; and how they wrote to their friends still in England, whom they sought to induce to follow them to a country that had so many advantages. It is as follows: 'From Burlington on Delaware River, the 26th of the Eighth Month 1677. Dear Friend - Through the mercy of God we are safely arrived at New Jersey. My wife and all mine are very well and we have our health rather better here than we had in England. Indeed the country is so good that I do not see how it can reasonable be found fault with. As far as I perceive, all the things we heard of it in England are very true and I wish that many people (that are in straits) in England were here.'

"Here is good land enough lies void that would serve many thousands of families and we think if they cannot live here they can hardly live in any place in the world, but we do not desire to persuade any to come but such as are well satisfied in their own mind. A town lot is laid out for us in Burlington, which is a convenient place for trade. It is about one hundred and fifty miles up the Delaware; the country and air seem to be very agreeable to our bodies, and we have very good stomachs to our victuals. Here is plenty of provision in the country; plenty of fish and fowl, and good venison very plentiful and much better than ours in England, for its eats not so dry, but is full of gravy like fat young beef. You that come after us need not fear the trouble that we have had, for now is land here ready divided against you come. The Indians are very loving to us, except here and (P/279) there, when they have gotten strong liquor in their head, which they now greatly love. But for the country, in short, I like it very well, and I do believe that this River of Delaware is as good a river as most in the world. It exceeds the River Thames by many degrees. Here is a town laid out for twenty proprieties, and a straight line drawn from the riverside up the land, which is to be the Main Street, and a market place about the middle. The Yorkshire ten proprietors are to build on one side and the London ten on the other side, and they have ordered one street to be made along the river side which is not divided with the rest, but in small lots by itself, and every one that hath any part in a propriety is to have his share in it. The town lots for every propriety will be about ten or eleven acres, which is only for a house, orchard, and gardens; and the corn and pasture grounds are to be laid off in great quantities. I am thy loving friend, John Cripps.' (Smith's History of New Jersey).

"Many such letters as the above were written by the new comers to their friends in England and Ireland, some of which were published as circulars among the people, and aided much in the settlement of the colony. In 1698, Gabriel Thomas published a History of West New Jersey, where, as he says, he 'resided about fifteen years.' It is a small book of thirty-four pages, part of which is taken up with a glossary of Indian names and translations. This curious old document was lost sight of and remained out of print for many years, until a copy was secured by Henry A Brady of New York City, who had the same faithfully lithographed and a few copies reprinted, most of which found their way into the various public libraries of the country. Gabriel excels all in his praises of the land and climate in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and is only equaled by some of the papers put forth by sharp land-speculators of the present day, by which many verdant folks are sadly cheated. (Leaming and Spicer's Law).

P/280: "In 1683, and before his departure for England, Henry Stacy made a location of four hundred and ninety acres of land in Newton Twp, near the head of the middle branch of Newton Creek, and east of the Graysbury land (Revel's BK P/37). By his will, all the real estate was given to his children and by division of the same effected in 1711, the tract of land above named, became the property of Sarah (this probably is Henry's daughter), the wife of Robert Montgomery (Lib A 33). About the year 1715, Robert Montgomery built a house on this tract of land, and removed thither from Monmouth County, where he had previously resided."

From Sketches of the First Immigrant Settlers in Newton Township, Old Gloucester County and West New Jersey by John Clement of Haddonfield, NJ and Sinnickson Chew, Camden, NJ 1877: "Henry Stacy did not remain here many years. He returned with his family to England in 1683 and settled at Stepney near London, where he deceased in 1689. He had four children; namely, Samuel, who died young; Elizabeth, who married William Burge in 1705, and settled in Philadelphia; Mary, who married Jonathon Wilson and visited in London; and Sarah, who married Robert Montgomery and lived in New Jersey."

St. Mary's Episcopal Ch (Burlington), NJ. Ann died 1682. Records show Daniel Leeds married Ann Stacye, daughter of Robert, a tanner of Burlington. William "Bill" Collins writes, "she is said to have died in childbirth on 04-Oct-1681, and to have had a daughter, Ann, b. 03-Feb-1682. I expect someone has made an improper conversion and Ann likely died 10th month, which would be December, and that her daughter was born in December, but someone advanced the date two months for conversion, when it had already been converted."

Daniel: Keasbey's Courts and Lawyers of New Jersey, Vol I P/296: "Thomas Revell and Daniel Leeds were commissioned as Associate Justices on Jun 7, 1708. Thomas Revell was one of those who came over on the Shield landing at Burlington in 1678. He was provincial clerk and recorder of Burlington and for many years, register or recorder of the West Jersey Proprietors. He was closely associated with Daniel Coxe and he and Leeds were members of Governor Cornbury's first council."

William Collins writes, "He was a Quaker, then Episcopalian after a quarrel with Friends over using Romanish dates in his published Farmer's Almanac in 1686, and wrote a published letter in 1702 denouncing them for criticism; disowned 01-Aug-1702. He left a will dated 27-Jun-1720, probated 13-Oct-1720 in Burlington County, NJ. He emigrated from England in 1678 on The Shield apparently coming from Leeds, having purchased a 1/16th share of the Province of Jersey. He settled in Shrewbury, NJ. He had been married in England, but that wife's name is unknown."

Joseph: Joseph Kirkbride married three times: m/1 14-May-1688 Phoebe, daughter of Randall Blackshard (Blackshaw?). Phoebe died 1701. He m/2 17-Feb-1702 Sarah, daughter and coheiress of Mahlon Stacye of the ancient family of Stacye of Ballifield, by whom he had one son, Mahlon. Sarah died shortly after the birth of this son 29-Sep-1703. Joseph Kirkbride married the third time. (A Friendly Heritage Along the Delaware, The Taylors of Washington Crossing and some Allied Families in Bucks County, P/116 by Arthur Edwin Bye).

A Joseph Kirkbride, of the Buckingham MM, signed for Joshua Ely's excommunication from the Society of Friends in 1780. He is probably a descendant of this Joseph.

The ships, John and Sarah from London with Captain Smith, were the first ships to arrive in Pennsylvania. Among the passengers were Nathaniel Allen, John Otter, Edmund Lovett, and Joseph Kirkbride. Then the ship, Amity, with Captain Dimon, and the ship, Factor from Bristol with Captain Drew, came later.

According to the book, The Hering Clock by Mary Michele and Timothy Taylor Hering, Jr., Joseph Kirkbride arrived on the Bristol Factor on the Delaware River in Dec 1681 and was employed by William Penn to "lay out the Manor Pennsbury." He later purchased 800 acres at The Falls and served in the West New Jersey Assembly, the Pennsylvania Assembly, and as Justice of the Peace in Bucks County, PA and became a Quaker preacher.
