• Notes

  Thomas Henry Worrilow Bio Thomas Warrilow's wife is always mentioned as Grace in all records that are now extant. Grace died in Chester county, Pennsylvania, ahout 1700. It may have been that Thomas Warrilow, having become a Quaker, thought it best about the time of his mother's death to take his rather large family to the new land of promise which the Quakers had taken up in Pennsylvania. In an agreement dated April 17, 1723, between John Taylor and the children of Thomas Worrilow, every one of them signs the name "Worrilaw," but the accepted form is now "Worrilow." The several Worrilow witnesses at the marriage of John Worrilow and Ann Maris, in 1690. all sign their names "Worrilaw." Dr. Smith, in his history of Delaware county, thinks that Thomas Worrilow was originally a resident of Yorkshire, England. Mrs. William Morris, who was a great-granddaughter of his granddaughter Mary Worrilow who married John Taylor (XIV 20), thought that Lincolnshire was the old home of the Worrilow family. Thomas called his place Brooznoll, which is supposed to have been the name of his English home. He was a Quaker, and he emigrated probably about the year 1688. His name is not on the list of taxables for Edgmont township for 1689, but both he and his son John appear on a similar list for 1693. He also appends his name as a freeholder to a certificate of the election of William Howell as a member of Council in 1690. He is ranked as a yeoman in the record of the marriage of his son, John Worrilow, in 1690. Thomas Worrilow and John Worrall are the first and third signers in a coroner's inquest on the body of Sarah Baker, "killed by the force of thunder," Edgmont, July 6, 1699. He settled in Edgmont township, in or before 1690, and probably lived there till after the death of his first wife. His place in Edgmont was in the western part of the township and contained 490 acres. He removed to Philadelphia in 1701, and lived on the north side of Chestnut street, west of Third street, at the time of his death. ~~~ Story from Ancestry.com
