Histories

Quaker Ancestors from Pennsylvania and Delaware

The areas that are now northern Delaware and south-eastern Pennsylvania were not distinguished from each other in the 1682 land grant to William Penn. Maps at the time show one geographical area divided by the Susquehanna, Schuykill, and Delaware rivers (with the Potomac farther west, and the Hudson farther east). Separate sets of representatives for the states began to meet in 1704, in Philadelphia and New Castle, though one Governor remained for both, and pre-Revolutionary Delaware remained under the political sway of its more powerful and populous northern neighbor.
