Eleanor Foulke

We are fortunate that the brother of Edward Foulke's wife, John Hugh's, (Edward's brother-in-law), wrote an account in 1702 of his emigration to America. This is the only chronicle cited in any of the sources that I've found. Although Edward did not specifically mention John Hugh (or anyone else), it seems irrefutable that John and his family came over on the same voyage. Numerous sources mention John's immigration in 1698. John and Edward both are mentioned in various sources as "Welsh settlers of Gwynedd," and their names are listed among the original purchasers in 1698 of the 11,450 acre tract of land that comprised the Gwynedd settlement. Rough maps show Edward Foulke's 712 acres in the neighborhood of John's 648 acres. Edward's conversion from the Church of England to the Society of Friends is listed in Quaker records, and John's and Edward's children, Ellis and Jane, married in 1713.

Penn in Hand Vol. 9, no. 1 - - 1987 Genealogy of Pennsylvania with a special emphasis on Philadelphia by Jane Adams Clarke Since Pennsylvania's formation in 1682, the basic political and administrative division of county organization has been by township, boroughs and districts. Taxes were collected by townships. Records such as land and probate contain references to townships. These important documents are in the County Courthouse or the County Archives of each county. Boundaries for counties, as well as townships, have changed over the years. If the jurisdiction for tax and land records is not known, it is easy to lose an ancestor. You could be knocking on the wrong courthouse door! When Pennsylvania was first established, there were three counties, Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester. Fromthese three counties gradually evolved the present day sixty-seven counties comprising the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There were also the three so-called lower counties: New Castle, Kent and Sussex, which became the State of Delaware. A study of the changes in Philadelphia County follows: In 1752, present day Berks County was created from part of Philadelphia and part of Lancaster County. (Lancaster had been taken from Chester County in 1729.)Montgomery County was created from Philadelphia County in 1784. So, if your ancestor owned land in Frederick Township, Montgomery County in 1785, it is necessary to go to Philadelphia to find the original deed for the property he might have bought in 1782! In 1854, the City and County offices of Philadelphia were consolidated. The boundaries of Philadelphia since 1854 for both city and county have remained the same and, from that time on, Philadelphia was divided into numbered wards. The townships, wards, boroughs and districts that were in Philadelphia County between the formation of Montgomery County in 1784, and the consolidation of the city and county of Philadelphia in 1854 became forever lost. The original townships, within the present boundaries of Philadelphia, were: Germantown, Roxborough, Bristol, Oxford, Lower Dublin, Moreland, Byberry, Northern Liberties, Blockley, Kingsessing, Passyunk, and Moyamensing. Moreland Township was split in 1784 when part of it was included in Montgomery County - there was then a Moreland Township in Philadelphia County, and a Moreland Township in Montgomery County. Over the years, these townships of Philadelphia County were further divided into townships, boroughs and districts. The original City of Philadelphia, which was a town until 1691, covered the area between present day South Street and Vine Street, and the Rivers Delaware and Schuylkill. Just prior to 1854, the old city contained the following wards: North Mulberry, South Mulberry, North, Middle, South, Locust, Cedar, Spruce, Lombard, Upper Delaware, Lower Delaware, High Street, Chestnut, Walnut, Dock, Pine and New Market. Pennsylvania Line, published by the Southwest Pennsylvania Genealogical Services in Laughlin town,PA, is helpful in determining the genealogy of townships in Pennsylvania; however,only townships that exist today are included. Therefore, these lost townships of Philadelphia are not shown. This canbe confusing. For instance, there is a Bristol Township in Bucks County. If you are looking for an ancestor from Bristol Township you might pick up the one in Bucks County, as it is the only one thatappears in reference sources. In reality, your ancestor could have been from Bristol township in Philadelphia County! Genealogy of Philadelphia County Subdivisions, by John Daly and Allen Weinberg, published by the City of Philadelphia Department of Records and republished under the title Philadelphia County Political Subdivisions, by Area Keys, contains a series of maps that are extremely helpful in analyzing the boundaries through the years in Philadelphia. Not included is information on the portions that became Berks and Montgomery Counties. The original publication is no longer in print, b ut has been reprinted by GSP as "Special Publication no. 6" under the title Philadelphia Maps, 1682 - 1982: Townships - Districts - Wards.

Westmoreland, created 1773from Bedford. Wyoming, created 1842 from Luzerne. York, created 1749 from Lancaster. Although your ancestors should have recorded their deeds and had wills probated in the county where they lived, they did not always do so! If you can't find the records where they should be, check neighboring counties.
