You have sent this just to me, and I don't think that's what you meant to do....so, I suggest your go to your Welcome Email and reread the section concerning REPLY vs REPLY ALL, so next time you'll know how to reach everyone on the list, not just the poster of the email. I'm unsure, from your email, what it is you're looking for....if Elinor emigrated as his wife, or if " I have not been able to find anything on them since then.", means you have no info on them past the info that Robert was listed as being on the Friendship. In case it is the latter, here's what I found. I looked at the early court records and see that Robert Varnon was the constable for the Chester Twp of Providence, in 1697, so you research would best be pointed to the Providence of Chester Co, rather than that of Del. Co. I'm sure you know that these earlyVernons were Quakers, who came together from Chester England. " Thomas was a juror at the first held court of the County of Chester. He, with his brother, Randal, settled on joining tracts of land in Lower (also referred to as Nether) Providence.....these may have been the brother of Robert Vernon. Robert was from Stoke, Cheshire, England, and was a Friend, but did not take an active part in meeting affairs, as did Thomas and Randal. His wife Elinor, who came with him, was the dau of John Minshall and sister of Thomas Minshall, a settler in Providence. (this wording looks to me like Thomas was the Providence settler, with no mention of John, the father actually being here.....this might be an avenue to pursue....seeing what you can find about Eliinor, her brother, Thomas, and their father.....did John actually come to the new world?) Elinor died , 24, 1720." Robert conveyed his brick messurage and 330 acres of land, where he lived, to his son Jacob, before his death in Jan or Feb of 1709-10." This is all from THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PA, by Futhey and Cope, although no documentation for it is included. F&C also includes all the children of Robert and Elinor...if interested I'll post them. I checked, and John Minshall did not leave a will in Chester or surrounding counties, nor did Robert Vernon. I looked at the Lower Providence tax list for 1715, their first year, and while there were several Vernons....Jacob, Joseph, Thomas, John....there was no Robert...nor in Upper Providence, either.,,,and no Minshalls . Ordinarily, when meetings were well established, there will be a record of a certificate brought from GB, to the new meeting..however, these folks came during the very beginning of the creation of Chester co meetings, and the prep. meetings seemed to have been held, not in meeting houses (as yet unbuilt), but the homes of members, so it may well be that these very early records, are no longer extant.....however, you might search them. I checked the early Phil MM records, early members of other meetings often presented their certificates to this meeting, before moving on to other areas....no luck. But, you might want to follow up searching early MM records, just in case the certificate info is still around. Sandra this is the email of someone who says "Elinor Minshall daughter of John Minshall and Margaret being married to Robert Vernon in 1689 in Chester, PA"...you might want to contact her to see where she found this info. [email protected] (keep your fingers crossed it's still a working address!) " Robert Vernon came over in 1682 on the Friendship which was one of William Penn's ships. I > found him, two of his brothers, his brother-in-law and sister-in-law on > the ships log, but cannot find anything that shows when his wife came > over although family history says that they came together. I have not > been able to find anything on them since then."
