THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, I looked Morris up in it and the only mention of him is on a doc. dated 5th 12thm 1701,,, as purchasers of the Welsh Tract....He bought 500 acres. The CD of wills has the same Llewellin spelling in a will of 1709, where he is listed as a friend ...there is also a will (that of Morgan David), in Philly, where Morris is included as an overseer for the will. I can find no will for Morris himself. From Early Court Records1697-1710... 1697..."Morris Lewellin (3 llls) brought a woman servant whose name is ...........who was adjudged to sarve five years from this Court to the said Morris Lewellin or his Assignes." 1710 Morris and others attested to the death by drowning of Richard Bevan. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Many thanks, Sandra, for your look-ups, your patience, and for separate comments on name spelling. In addition to the LLewelyn and Llewellyn that I am aware of from the 1600s, I have recently learned of the spelling Lewelling from another listserv, known as the Quaker Corner, http://www.rootsweb.com/~quakers, abbreviated Q-R. Two brothers lived in Iowa and Oregon in the 1899s and appear to be related to my ancestors, although, including me has yet worked out the connection. By the way, from this list I learned of the QBI listserv, devoted to Quakers from Brtian and ireland and connecterd with a distant cousin of the Marriage family, a different ancestral branch who never, to my knowledge were in Chester County. (Can you imagine what computer searching for that name brings up?). If that rings a bell with anyone, drop me a line. However, so far QBI has not brought me any infomration on the origin of Morris and my Llewellyn/Llewelyn/Lewelling ancestors. Happy ancestor-hunting to you all.
