Notes for Thomas Foulke and Mary Richardson A biosketch, published in 1905, gives an overview of the life of Thomas Foulke, written by Hilda Justice (an 8th generation descendant) [1]

Thomas Foulke Thomas Foulke (Ffoulke, old style), the first of that name who came to America, was born about 1624. He died in 1714 when 90 years of age. In January, 1677, he resided in "Holmegate in ye parish of Northwingfield, County of Derby, England." (Deed Book, Part I, folio 187, Office of Secretary of State, Trenton, New Jersey), and is described as "Yeoman." He purchased from Mahlon Stacy, of Handsworth, York Co., England (tanner), 1-5 part of one of the 7-90 of West New Jersey.

He was one of "the nine commissioners sent by the Proprietors of West New Jersey, in 1677, with power to buy lands of the natives; to inspect the rights of those who claimed property; to order lands laid out; and in general, administer the government pursuant to the Concessions."

"In 1675 William Penn had been chosen umpire to settle a dispute between Edward Byllinge and John Fenwick (both Quakers), respecting their claims to a tract of land known as West Jersey. William Penn decided in favor of Byllinge, but the latter, having become much embarrassed in his affairs, and in order to satisfy his creditors, gave up to them his interest in this West Jersey territory.

"At the earnest solicitation of Byllinge, William Penn was associated with the creditors as a joint trustee. Within the next two or three years, several vessels came to West Jersey with about 800 emigrants, of whom the greater number were Quakers." Among them was Thomas Foulke, who, with the other commissioners, "sailed in the Kent, Gregory Marlow, Master, and after a tedious voyage landed at New Castle 6-16-1677 old style." The Commissioners proceeded to a place called Chygo's Island (afterward Burlington) to treat with the Indians for the land there.

He located in Chesterfield, at Crosswicks, and was a member of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting (see records for details of births, marriages and deaths, &c, of Thomas Foulke's descendants).

1624 Thomas Foulke was born about this time (he was age 90 at his death in 1714). [2]

1629 Mary was born about this time (she was age 89 at her death in 1718). [3]

1676 Conveyance by Thomas Fowke of Holmgate, North Wingfield, yeoman, to Mathew Hopkinson of Coldwell, North Wingfield, yeoman, of all of his 1/3 prt of Nether Close March 16, 1676-77. [note the Neather Close property in the 1659 conveyance] [29]

1676 Thomas Fowkes was at a Quaker meeting at Tipton, on September 29, and the greater part of his goods were seized and exposed to sale at two markets, but nobody would buy them, which when the constables reported to the justices, they threatened to fine them. Thus constrained, they sold them for £3, far beneath their value. [30]

1664-76 Land in New Jersey was made available for purchase. James the Duke of York, George Carteret, William Penn, Edward Byllynge, and John Fenwick were all involved. [31]:

It was at this time, in the year 1664, that the Duke of York, afterwards James II, eager to mend his fortunes, persuaded King Charles XI [sic, recte] II, to give him a large share of the newly acquired territory in America. … Hardly had the ink come dry upon this parchment when James himself, in consideration of "a competent sum of money" sold what is now known as New Jersey to two of his friends, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley. … After ten years of thankless efforts and unprofitable ownership, and too old to hope for a realization of his plans, Lord Berkeley became anxious to be rid of his province and offered it for sale. … The wealthier men among the Friends saw the opportunity, and Edward Byllynge and John Fenwick became its purchasers. … But times were hard, and when the conveyance came to be made the name of John Fenwick, as trustee, was substituted for that of Byllynge, and after a little while all the interest of the latter was given up for the benefit of creditors to three trustees, Gawen Lowrie, Nicholas Lucas, and William Penn. … First the province had to be divided by agreement with the owner of the other half, and this was not accomplished until 1676. … The eastern part was taken by Sir George Carteret, the other by the trustees, who gave it the name of West New Jersey. Penn and his agents, next divided their share into one hundred parts, of which they assigned ten to Fenwick and ninety to the creditors of Byllynge.

1677 Two companies were established in England, one for Yorkshire and one for London, mostly for Quakers who purchased and settled on land in New Jersey. [32]

They come from two different parts of England. Amongst the creditors of Byllynge were five Friends who dwelt in Yorkshire. Persecutions had been very severe in that county, and York Castle at one time contained a large number of prominent Friends. Amongst these latter were five heads of families who were glad to join the creditors of Byllynge in their new plan for settling West Jersey, and a company was speedily formed amongst them, which was known as the Yorkshire Company. It was thus that the names of Clayton, Ellis, Hancock, Helmesley, Stacey and Wetherill first came to be transported into Jersey. Meantime another company was forming in the vicinity of London. Men came from different parts of England to join its ranks. William Peachey, fresh from his trial at Bristol, and under sentence of banishment as a convict for attending meetings; John Kinsey, of Hadham in Hertfordshire, himself a prisoner a few years before, and marked among these settlers of Burlington as the first to die; John Cripps, twelve days in a cell in Newgate for "keeping his hat on in a bold, irreverent manner" when the Lord Mayor passed by into Guildhall; Thomas Ollive, familiar with the inside of Northampton Gaol; John Woolston, his companion in that prison, and Dr. Daniel Wills, tried for banishment for a third offence, and thrice in prison for holding meetings in his house. The last three were all men of note, and their joining the London Company had great influence on its history.

1677 Thomas Foulke was one of four commissioners of the Yorkshire Company who went to America on the ship Kent to purchase land from the Indians for a settlement in West Jersey. Apparently King Charles II made notice of their ship as it left London. There are several accounts of these events. [33] [34] [35] [36] [37]

The preparations are now made, and the time for departure is at hand. The two companies have appointed commissioners to govern them: Joseph Helmesley, Robert Stacey, William Emley and Thomas Foulke for the Yorkshire people; Thomas Ollive, Daniel Wills, John Penford and Benjamin Scott for the London purchasers. They have secured a staunch ship under the command of an experienced seaman, and she is now lying ready in the Thames. …
the happy citizen of a free commonwealth in a distant land shall speak with affectionate remembrance, of the good ship " Kent" and "Master Godfrey Marlow!" Obscure and unnoticed, and perhaps on that account undisturbed, all are at last on board. They have taken leave of their country; it remains only to say farewell to their King. …
The bright sun and the pleasant air tempt His Majesty [Charles II] upon the water, and he passes the afternoon floating in his barge. The Thames is full of shipping, for at this time London has no rival in commerce but Amsterdam, and the king amuses himself watching the vessels as they come to and fro. Suddenly the barge approaches a ship evidently about to sail. Something attracts the king, and draws him near. A group of men and women are on the deck, plain in appearance, sombre in dress, quiet in demeanor. They are of the yeoman class chiefly, and the gay courtiers wonder what attracts the attention of the king. The two strangely different vessels come together, and for a moment those two widely separated companies are face to face. Charles, with that pleasant voice that could heal with a friendly phrase the wounds inflicted by a lifetime of ingratitude, inquires who they are. "Quakers, bound to America!" is the reply. There is a pause for an instant, and then the king, with a royal gesture, flings them his blessing, and Charles II and his Quaker subjects have parted forever.

1677 The ship Kent reached New York harbor on about the 6th of August, 1677. [38][39]

The object the emigrants have in view in coming here is to wait upon Sir Edmund Andros, the Duke of York's lately appointed Governor of his territory. Accordingly the commissioners go on shore. Andros receives them coldly. They inform him of their purpose to settle on the Delaware. He feigns an ignorance of their authority. They remind him of the law and repeat how the land in West Jersey was granted by the king to his brother, by the Duke of Carteret and Berkeley, and by him to their grantors. It is of no use. "Show me a line from the duke himself," says Andros. They have neglected this precaution. Upon which the governor forbids them to proceed, and when remonstrated with touches his sword significantly. Here is a new and unexpected trouble, and it is no comfort to learn that John Fenwick is at the moment a prisoner in New York for attempting his settlement at Salem without the duke's authority. Suddenly their perplexity is unexpectedly relieved. If they will take commissions from him, Sir Edmund will allow them to set sail, but they must promise to write to England and abide by the result. Anxious to escape from the dilemma, they accept the proposal; Fenwick is released at the same time, and they set sail for the Delaware [River].

1677 "Two hundred and thirty of their passengers landed near Raccoon Creek, where the Swedes had a few houses, and in these and in tents and caves the newcomers took temporary lodgings [40]. The commissioners proceeded at once to Chygoes (Burlington) Island, to settle the terms of purchase with the Indians [41]. They were accompanied by Israel Holmes, Peter Rambo, and Lacy Cock, Swedish interpreters, and by their help they bought three tracts from the Assunpink to the Rancocas, from Rancocas to Timber Creek, and from Timber Creek to Oldman's Creek." ... "The Yorkshire purchasers chose from the Assunpink to the Rancocas, which was called the first tenth" [42] [43] [44]

On the 16th day of August—about the 26th according to our style—they reach the site of Newcastle, and presently—230 in number-land at the mouth of Raccoon creek. The few settlements of the Dutch and Swedes have hardly changed the original Appearance of the country, and they find themselves on the borders of a wilderness. The Swedes have a few houses at the landing-place, and in these and in tents and caves our new comers take temporary lodging. It is a change from the snug homes to which they have been accustomed, and the fare they find is rough, but there is no murmuring among them. "I have never heard them say," wrote one of their number, who had herself exchanged a pleasant home in England for a cave, " I never heard them say,'I would I had never come' which it is worth observing, considering how plentifully they had lived in England." But they were not given to complaining, and moreover the autumn is at hand. Without delay the commissioners set out to examine the country and settle the terms of purchase with the Indians. Accompanied with Swedish interpreters they buy three tracts—from the Assanpink to the Rancocas, from Rancocas to Timber creek, and from Timber creek to Old Man's creek. The Yorkshire purchasers choose the former as their share; the London decide to settle at Arwaumus, near the present Gloucester,… [45]

A report about the Quaker Meeting houses of Crosswicks gives a sense of a different life in New Jersey and mentions Thomas Foulke [60]:

Friends and their Meeting-Houses at Crosswicks, New Jersey

By Joseph Middleton

On the 16th of Sixth month, 1677, the ship "Kent" arrived at New Castle, Delaware, with 230 passengers. Among them was Thomas Foulke and other Friends. In the Eleventh month of the same year came the ship " Willing Mind," with 70 passengers, who landed near Salem, New Jersey. This was followed soon after by the " Martha," from Hull, with about 114 passengers, who landed near Philadelphia. The next that arrived was the "Shield," from Hull, which came up the river and landed at Burlington in Tenth month, 1678. A large portion of these passengers were Friends from England, who settled in Pennsylvania and adjacent parts of West New Jersey.

Thomas Foulke, Samuel and John Bunting, Francis Davenport, Thomas Gilberthorpe, Thomas Lambert, William Satterthwaite, William Black, Samuel Taylor, and others, migrated eastward from the different landings and formed a settlement among the Indians on the Cross-weeks-ung, or divided creek (Crosswicks).

In order more clearly to comprehend the original settlement, our minds must revert to the primitive condition of the Indian settlement, neither roads nor bridges, but paths or trails through the woods and canoes to cross the creek.

The Friends established a crossing on the farm of Francis Davenport, now occupied by Walter Bird, known as the David Union or Job Sutterly farm. This was called "Davenport's crossing," or the upper ford, the lower ford being near where the Camden and Amboy Railroad crosses the creek below Yardville, near the junction of Doctor's Creek with Crosswicks Creek.

A forcible reminder of the Indian village or settlement is the crooked street through the village of Crosswicks, being the original trail or pathway through the forest. A lone survivor of the original forest remains standing in the yard in front of the meeting-house, a noble oak, with arms uplifted, as though saying, " I am monarch of all I survey," and appealing for protection. Could it but reveal to us what has passed beneath and around it, what history would be unfolded!

The first record of a meeting for Divine worship by the Society of Friends at Crosswicks was at the house of Thomas Lambert in 1677. In 1684 the meeting was held at the house of Francis Davenport. Prior to the erection of a meeting-house it was the custom to hold meetings for worship in the house of some Friend in the neighborhood.

On the "2nd of ye 8th mo., 1684," the monthly meeting was established and held at the house of Francis Davenport. The record is signed by John Wilford, Francis Davenport, and William Watson, and recorded as "Chesterfield Monthly Meeting of Friends," by which name it is known at the present time.

The first marriages recorded in the meeting were: Samuel Bunting to Mary Foulke, daughter of Thomas, 1684. In 1686, Samuel Taylor and Susanna Horsman. In 1686, Anthony Woodward and Hannah Foulke. In 1687, Richard Harrison and Ruth Buckman.

"At a monthly meeting held at the house of Francis Davenport, ye 7th of ye llth mo. 1685 it was directed that deeds of Trust for the burying ground at Chesterfield be made from Thomas Foulke, Grantor, to Francis Davenport, Samuel Bunting, John Bunting, Thomas Gilberthorpe, Roger Parke and Robert Wilson."

A biosketch reports [105][106]:

Thomas Foulke, father of ThomasFoulke, Jr., ... was born 1624, and 1677 was living at "Holmegate, in ye Parish of Northwingfield, County of Derby, England," when he purchased of Mahlon Stacy, of Hansworth, York, one-fifth part of a share in West Jersey. In the same year he was sent out by William Penn and the other purchasers from Byllinge, of the lands of West Jersey, as one of the nine commissioners of the Proprietors, to sell lands, etc. He sailed with the other commissioners in the "Kent," and after a tedious voyage landed at New Castle, August 16, 1677, from whence they proceeded to Burlington, to treat with the Indians for the land. He located at Crosswicks, in what became Chesterfield township, where he died 1714, aged ninety years. His wife Mary died April 16, 1718, aged eighty-nine years. His daughter Mary married Samuel Bunting, ancestor of Esther Syng (Bunting) Justice; her sister Sarah married John Bunting, brother to Samuel; another daughter, Hannah, married Anthony Woodward, and the son ThomasFoulke, Jr., married Elizabeth Curtis, as above stated, in 1688. Thomas Foulke was an early convert to the principles and faith of Friends. and a friend of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. It was in a letter from Penn to Thomas Foulke that the founder states his Welsh origin, and explains the adoption of the name for his new Province. He had selected the name of New Wales, but King Charles was not satis?ed with the name, whereupon Penn suggested "Sylvania," meaning woodlands, by reason of the virgin forest that was supposed to cover the country. The King taking the pen wrote into the grant the name Pennsylvania, and when Penn protested that the title savored too much of personal vanity, the King said, "My good fellow, do not deceive yourself, this is in honor of your noble father, the Admiral," with which explanation the founder was compelled to be content.

"Holmgate is an estate situated in the town of Clay Cross which is located in the district of North East Derbyshire, England." [107]

1677 "Thomas arrived with his family on the ship Kent in Nov. 1677. A member Wingfield, Meeting England to Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, New Caesara. 'Very wealthy, intelligent and religious' from the records found he was most active in the founding of the Meeting." [108]
