"a young Welshman named John Roberts, also started out to seek his fortune in the New World. He arrived in America and settled near Quakertown in Bucks County. Here in 1769 his son, William, was born, and reared. William came to Schuylkill Township in Chester County and settled along the Pickering Creek where he operated a fulling or cloth treating mill and tilled his farm until his death in 1844. He was a Whig in politics and a Friend in his religious life." ~• from: https://tehistory.org/hqda/html/v07/v07n1p009.html
