Pennsbury is in Bucks County not in Philadelphia. Hope you guys enjoyed the Quaker wedding there. This is the site from Penn's home town. _http://www.csm.uwe.ac.uk/~rstephen/livingeaston/local_history/Penn/Penn_famil y_Index.html_ (http://www.csm.uwe.ac.uk/~rstephen/livingeaston/local_history/Penn/Penn_family_Index.html) Pennsbury was the name of Penn's country estate and mansion in Pennsylvania. It was referred to as his "palace". Situated in Bucks County on the margin of the Delaware river, below Bordertown, William Penn and his family lived there in 1700 and 1701. John Satcher (Sotcher or Sachar) and wife Mary Loftis were the stewards of Pennsbury from 1701 until around 1710. Penn's Will of 1701 included this clause: "...& my blacks (given) their freedom, as under my hand already...." This is the only one of William Penn's wills that contain such a clause. Neither his will of 1705 nor his last will of 1712 repeated this, and, while P enn is said to have freed some slaves during his lifetime (did they become tied tenants on his estate one wonders?), other slaves passed to his heirs at his death. (see Appendix v , Fourth Will of William Penn (1701) The mansion was constructed in 1682-3, at the huge expense of £7,000. The Penns had considerable amounts of finished and ornamental materials brought out from England. Pennsbury Mansion was sixty feet by forty feet. The garden was ornamental and sloped down to the river side in front. In 1684 the original lands of Pennsbury amounted to 3431 acres, 2288 acres were later granted to others (were these, perhaps, sold or used as inducements to potential immigrants?) thus leaving some 1150 acres for his slave plantation.
