The Welsh Baptists of Pencader,Del,spent a few years 1st at Gwynedd,or North Wales,the 1698 colony who immigrated mostly non-Quaker,unlike the main Welsh Tract just west of downtown Philaelphia,or 20 miles south. Gwynedd was,1698,in Philadelphia Co,now Montgomery,with Bucks Co forming the colonies northern boundry. Southampton and Pennypack were the Baptist churches nearby. Neshaminy Presbyterian,on that creek,in Bucks. Maybe Abington Quaker meeting. I had Edward Foulke,Episcopalian,of the 1698.And my Swiss MaDori-MaDARA, Medary,Medairy lived on Neshaminy Creek,at the Bucks-Montgomery line. The farm south of mine in Clermont Co,SW Ohio was settled in 1818 by John Simpson,Jr grandfather of Pres-Gen US Grant. Simpson lived within the Gwynedd tract,but crossed to Bucks Co to Neshaminy Presbyterian to worship,1815+ under Rev Belville,of NCC,Del.Dad's [1898-2000] uncle was Robert Belville Simpson

HFAGLEY: Thank you for these comments. I am interested in your Edward FOULKE. Was there a connection to Salem County NJ, ca 1700?? (Cohansey maybe??) Am also working on Van HEYST and BARRON (Barents??) of Cohansey, ca 1680-1740. I also have BELVILLE, of New Castle County, Delaware. Also ministers all over that family & collaterals. Who is the Rev Belville, of NCC, Del you are mentioning here --where was his ministry?? Sorry to be tagging along on the WILLIAMS thread; will change the subect line if there is a response.
