Margaret Fisher

The Ship Welcome sailed from Deal, England, departing 31 August 1682, and arrived at the mouth of the Delaware River (New Castle) on 27 October 1682, later anchoring at Chester, Pennsylvania (28 October). William Penn and friends then went to Philadelphia. The ship's master was Robert Greenway. A passenger list has not survived, but much research has been done to show who may have been on the ship with William Penn.

John Fisher and Margaret, his wife, were both said to have been passengers on the " Welcome," and they probably brought with them at least the two oldest of their six children. (It appears they may actually have taken passage on the "Lamb", one of the other ships in the flotilla.)
