Admiral George Penn, of Bristol

Brother(?) to Giles Penn, not the same person. No middle name.

Probably not the brother of Giles - By 1618, Giles and his younger brother, William (b. c1580 – d. 1676(?)) (1), were merchants based in the important English port of Bristol. Giles was a Burgess or Freeman of the city. (Note the difference in the birth and death dates) https://pennsylvaniahistory.wordpress.com/tag/george-penn/
