About Jane Comly

Robert Comly and his wife, Jane Cadwalader Comly, settled first in Byberry; then to the Warminster property which was part of a grant from William Penn; and finally to Horsham where Robert was for years a respected Overseer in Horsham Meeting. Robert and Jane Comly brought one son, Robert, and five daughters into the world: Mary, Agnes, Martha, Grace and Jane. Three of them married Shoemakers. Mary married Benjamin, son of Abraham and Amelia Levering Shoemaker. Agnes was wed to Samuel Shoemaker, one of the seven "additional" Shoemakers born of George Shoemaker and his second wife, Christiana Brown. And Martha married John Shoemaker, son of Isaac and Dorothy Penrose Shoemaker. There were a lot of Quaker Shoemakers and Comlys around the Philadelphia area in the early 1700s.
