Richard Ridgeway, son of Robert Ridgeway and founder of the American Branch of the Family, was born about 1654, and came from Wallingford, Berks County, England in 1679 in the ship Jacob and Mary to "The Falls" on the Delaware River, Bucks County, near Penn Manor, Pennsylvania. [1]

Notes

Supposedly the 1st cousin of the 4th Earl of Londonderry, but his parentage is questionable and it is unlikely his father was actually the son of an Earl - see [2][1]

Note N503per Glen Swartz about Richard Ridgway found at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=glen_swar...: The connection of Ridgway at Burlington Co, NJ to Sir Robert Lord Ridgway of Torre Church was disproved in 1929. (Virkus, "Compendium of American Genealogy," is not accurate, and provides no evidence for the claim, except a false assumption and folklore) ------------------------------ Brick, Gertrude N. and Thurman Ridgway. "Ridgways in the U.S.A." Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc, 1980. (LCCN: 79093416) pp10-12. (editing by Glen Swartz) After, 1682 a law was passed in Pennsylvania requiring a record of all arrivals. In the Bucks county "Book of Arrivals," p18, (original in the Bucks Co. Hist. Soc. at Doylestown), the following is recorded: "Richard Ridgway and Elizabeth his wife, of Welford, in the County of Bark [Berks], Taylor, arrived in this Delaware river in the ship 'Jacob and Mary' of London, in the 7th mo., 1679, with their children: Thomas, born the 25th, 5th mo., 1677, and Richard, born the 27th, 2nd mo., 1680." (Cook, "The Ridgway Family") The Jacob and Mary probably landed its passengers near Burlington, a few miles below the falls in the Delaware River. Richard's first home was on 218 acres at the Delaware River Falls on the Pennsylvania shore just opposite the east end of Biles Island. (See Jasper Dankers' 1679 map). He sold the land to Daniel Gardner and John Luff, 2 Jan 1681, moving to a new tract about two miles upstream, in or near what is Morrisville, opposite modern-day Trenton. The locality of these two home sites was then known as Crewcorne (variously spelled), named by William Penn whose estate was adjoining. Crewcorne is now known as Fallsington. Richard was quite active in the affairs of the community while living at the Falls. He joined with other settlers at the Falls in signing petitions 12 Apr and 13 Sep 1680, to the Governor of New Yorke "finding ourselves aggrieved by ye Indians when drunk, informeth, that wee be and have been in great danger of our lives, of our houses burning, of our goods stealing, and of our wives and children affrighting..." The principal offender was Gilvert Wheeler at whose house, they claimed, the Indians obtained their liquor and made themselves drunk, revel and fight together, come furiously and break our fences, steal our corn, break our windows and doors, carry away our goods and worry three of our cattle in one day with their dogs. (Fernow, Berthold, "New York Colonial Manuscripts", Vol XII, 1877.) After William Penn's arrival, a license system was adopted which made selling of strong drink to the Indians a crime. An entry in the minutes of the Council of Philadelphia, 3 Feb 1686, reads: "Report being made by ye members of Bucks County, that Richard Ridgway is a fitt person for ye keeping of an ordinary in ye County, a Lycense accordingly."(PA Arch., Colonial Records, vol.1, p124) His establishment was called Crown Inn. From the records of the Courts of Quarter Sessions and other records of Bucks County, we learn that Richard served as a juror in 1681, 1685, 1686; a jury foreman in 1688; as attorney for defendants in 1686, 1688; an estate appraiser in 1687; witnessed a will; made an estate inventory; served as a "Viewer of fences from ye falls to ye Governor's Mansion" in 1686; and served as witness on several occasions. His wife, Elizabeth, appeared as a witness several times and her mother, Elizabeth Hickman, appeared at least once. An interesting sidelight appears in the minutes for the Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends, 4th day 10th mo. 1689: Elizabeth, wife of Richard Ridgway, hath fought with her neighbor Chorley's wife, and women friends have spoken with her and that they find her stubborn, wailful and obstinate and that she justifies the act. Therefore it is agreed that for the present the meeting be removed from the house of Richard Ridgway to the home of Allice Dickerson. (Bucks Co. Hist. Soc.) Land deeds relative to Richard Ridgway and his sons are numerous. In a deed dated 7 Oct 1690, Richard Ridgeway, late of Bucks County, PA, tailor now of West Jersey, acquired from Daniel Coxe 600 acres near Stoney Brook, West Jersey, located along the East Jersey line, and next to John Houghton. (NJA 21:450) This was to be Richard's third home in America. In early terms, it was on Stony Brook in Maidenhead Twp, Burlington Co, NJ. Today it would be on the road between Princeton and Lawrenceville in Mercer County. On 20 Feb 1695/6, Richard Ridgway's sons, and others were accused of killing some domestic hogs in a complaint in court, the defendant claiming they were wild hogs (Burlington Court Book, p135) On 17 Mar 1695 Richard Ridgway of Maidenhead, Burlington Co., tailor, and his wife Abigail sold 400 acres of their Stony Brook land to John Bainbridge (NJA 21:488), and on 6 Jul 1696 the remaining 200 acres to Joseph Sackett (NJA 21:489). Then on 7 Feb 1697, for 320 pounds, Richard Ridgway of Burlington Co., yeoman, purchased 600 acres on Mattacopany Creek, Springfield Twp, Burlington Co, from John Hollingshead, Jr, NJA 21:502. (1979, location: near Village of Jacksonville on the road from Burlington to Jobstown). This became his fourth and final home in the New World. In 1700-1702, Richard Ridgeway was sitting on the bench as Justice for the Burlington Co, Court of Session and Court of Common Pleas (Burlington Court Book, pp175-201). Richard gave one acre to the Quakers for a meeting house and burying ground. It is known as the "Copany" or "Old Springfield" (Preparative) Meeting of the Burlington Monthly Meeting. The old meeting house, second structure on the site was erected in 1775, and still stands today, having been converted to a private home. ------------------------------ "Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol. 1, 1670-1730" Patterson, NJ, 1901. pp383-4. 1722 Sep 21.

Richard Ridgeway, son of Robert Ridgeway and founder of the American Branch of the Family, was born about 1654, and came from Wallingford, Berks County, England in 1679 in the ship Jacob and Mary to "The Falls" on the Delaware River, Bucks County, near Penn Manor, Pennsylvania. [1]

Notes

Supposedly the 1st cousin of the 4th Earl of Londonderry,

but his parentage is questionable and it is unlikely his father was actually the son of an Earl - see [2][1]

(Virkus, "Compendium of American Genealogy," is not accurate, and provides no evidence for the claim, except a false assumption and folklore) ------------------------------ Brick, Gertrude N. and Thurman Ridgway. "Ridgways in the U.S.A." Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc, 1980. (LCCN: 79093416) pp10-12. (editing by Glen Swartz) After, 1682 a law was passed in Pennsylvania requiring a record of all arrivals. In the Bucks county "Book of Arrivals," p18, (original in the Bucks Co. Hist. Soc. at Doylestown), the following is recorded: "Richard Ridgway and Elizabeth his wife, of Welford, in the County of Bark [Berks], Taylor, arrived in this Delaware river in the ship 'Jacob and Mary' of London, in the 7th mo., 1679, with their children: Thomas, born the 25th, 5th mo., 1677, and Richard, born the 27th, 2nd mo., 1680." (Cook, "The Ridgway Family") The Jacob and Mary probably landed its passengers near Burlington, a few miles below the falls in the Delaware River. Richard's first home was on 218 acres at the Delaware River Falls on the Pennsylvania shore just opposite the east end of Biles Island. (See Jasper Dankers' 1679 map). He sold the land to Daniel Gardner and John Luff, 2 Jan 1681, moving to a new tract about two miles upstream, in or near what is Morrisville, opposite modern-day Trenton. The locality of these two home sites was then known as Crewcorne (variously spelled), named by William Penn whose estate was adjoining. Crewcorne is now known as Fallsington. Richard was quite active in the affairs of the community while living at the Falls. He joined with other settlers at the Falls in signing petitions 12 Apr and 13 Sep 1680, to the Governor of New Yorke "finding ourselves aggrieved by ye Indians when drunk, informeth, that wee be and have been in great danger of our lives, of our houses burning, of our goods stealing, and of our wives and children affrighting..." The principal offender was Gilvert Wheeler at whose house, they claimed, the Indians obtained their liquor and made themselves drunk, revel and fight together, come furiously and break our fences, steal our corn, break our windows and doors, carry away our goods and worry three of our cattle in one day with their dogs. (Fernow, Berthold, "New York Colonial Manuscripts", Vol XII, 1877.) After William Penn's arrival, a license system was adopted which made selling of strong drink to the Indians a crime. An entry in the minutes of the Council of Philadelphia, 3 Feb 1686, reads: "Report being made by ye members of Bucks County, that Richard Ridgway is a fitt person for ye keeping of an ordinary in ye County, a Lycense accordingly."(PA Arch., Colonial Records, vol.1, p124) His establishment was called Crown Inn. From the records of the Courts of Quarter Sessions and other records of Bucks County, we learn that Richard served as a juror in 1681, 1685, 1686; a jury foreman in 1688; as attorney for defendants in 1686, 1688; an estate appraiser in 1687; witnessed a will; made an estate inventory; served as a "Viewer of fences from ye falls to ye Governor's Mansion" in 1686; and served as witness on several occasions. His wife, Elizabeth, appeared as a witness several times and her mother, Elizabeth Hickman, appeared at least once. An interesting sidelight appears in the minutes for the Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends, 4th day 10th mo. 1689: Elizabeth, wife of Richard Ridgway, hath fought with her neighbor Chorley's wife, and women friends have spoken with her and that they find her stubborn, wailful and obstinate and that she justifies the act. Therefore it is agreed that for the present the meeting be removed from the house of Richard Ridgway to the home of Allice Dickerson. (Bucks Co. Hist. Soc.) Land deeds relative to Richard Ridgway and his sons are numerous. In a deed dated 7 Oct 1690, Richard Ridgeway, late of Bucks County, PA, tailor now of West Jersey, acquired from Daniel Coxe 600 acres near Stoney Brook, West Jersey, located along the East Jersey line, and next to John Houghton. (NJA 21:450) This was to be Richard's third home in America. In early terms, it was on Stony Brook in Maidenhead Twp, Burlington Co, NJ. Today it would be on the road between Princeton and Lawrenceville in Mercer County. On 20 Feb 1695/6, Richard Ridgway's sons, and others were accused of killing some domestic hogs in a complaint in court, the defendant claiming they were wild hogs (Burlington Court Book, p135) On 17 Mar 1695 Richard Ridgway of Maidenhead, Burlington Co., tailor, and his wife Abigail sold 400 acres of their Stony Brook land to John Bainbridge (NJA 21:488), and on 6 Jul 1696 the remaining 200 acres to Joseph Sackett (NJA 21:489). Then on 7 Feb 1697, for 320 pounds, Richard Ridgway of Burlington Co., yeoman, purchased 600 acres on Mattacopany Creek, Springfield Twp, Burlington Co, from John Hollingshead, Jr, NJA 21:502. (1979, location: near Village of Jacksonville on the road from Burlington to Jobstown). This became his fourth and final home in the New World. In 1700-1702, Richard Ridgeway was sitting on the bench as Justice for the Burlington Co, Court of Session and Court of Common Pleas (Burlington Court Book, pp175-201). Richard gave one acre to the Quakers for a meeting house and burying ground. It is known as the "Copany" or "Old Springfield" (Preparative) Meeting of the Burlington Monthly Meeting. The old meeting house, second structure on the site was erected in 1775, and still stands today, having been converted to a private home. ------------------------------ "Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol. 1, 1670-1730" Patterson, NJ, 1901. pp383-4. 1722 Sep 21.

In a deed dated 7 Oct 1690, Richard Ridgeway, late of Bucks County, PA, tailor now of West Jersey, acquired from Daniel Coxe 600 acres near Stoney Brook, West Jersey, located along the East Jersey line, and next to John Houghton. (NJA 21:450) This was to be Richard's third home in America. In early terms, it was on Stony Brook in Maidenhead Twp, Burlington Co, NJ. Today it would be on the road between Princeton and Lawrenceville in Mercer County. On 20 Feb 1695/6, Richard Ridgway's sons, and others were accused of killing some domestic hogs in a complaint in court, the defendant claiming they were wild hogs (Burlington Court Book, p135) On 17 Mar 1695 Richard Ridgway of Maidenhead, Burlington Co., tailor, and his wife Abigail sold 400 acres of their Stony Brook land to John Bainbridge (NJA 21:488), and on 6 Jul 1696 the remaining 200 acres to Joseph Sackett (NJA 21:489). Then on 7 Feb 1697, for 320 pounds, Richard Ridgway of Burlington Co., yeoman, purchased 600 acres on Mattacopany Creek, Springfield Twp, Burlington Co, from John Hollingshead, Jr, NJA 21:502. (1979, location: near Village of Jacksonville on the road from Burlington to Jobstown). This became his fourth and final home in the New World. In 1700-1702, Richard Ridgeway was sitting on the bench as Justice for the Burlington Co, Court of Session and Court of Common Pleas (Burlington Court Book, pp175-201). Richard gave one acre to the Quakers for a meeting house and burying ground. It is known as the "Copany" or "Old Springfield" (Preparative) Meeting of the Burlington Monthly Meeting. The old meeting house, second structure on the site was erected in 1775, and still stands today, having been converted to a private home. ------------------------------ "Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol. 1, 1670-1730" Patterson, NJ, 1901. pp383-4. 1722 Sep 21.

Notes

Supposedly the 1st cousin of the 4th Earl of Londonderry, but his parentage is questionable and it is unlikely his father was actually the son of an Earl - see [2][1]

Notes

Note N503per Glen Swartz about Richard Ridgway found at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=glen_swar...: The connection of Ridgway at Burlington Co, NJ to Sir Robert Lord Ridgway of Torre Church was disproved in 1929. (Virkus, "Compendium of American Genealogy," is not accurate, and provides no evidence for the claim, except a false assumption and folklore) ------------------------------ Brick, Gertrude N. and Thurman Ridgway. "Ridgways in the U.S.A." Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc, 1980. (LCCN: 79093416) pp10-12. (editing by Glen Swartz) After, 1682 a law was passed in Pennsylvania requiring a record of all arrivals. In the Bucks county "Book of Arrivals," p18, (original in the Bucks Co. Hist. Soc. at Doylestown), the following is recorded: "Richard Ridgway and Elizabeth his wife, of Welford, in the County of Bark [Berks], Taylor, arrived in this Delaware river in the ship 'Jacob and Mary' of London, in the 7th mo., 1679, with their children: Thomas, born the 25th, 5th mo., 1677, and Richard, born the 27th, 2nd mo., 1680." (Cook, "The Ridgway Family") The Jacob and Mary probably landed its passengers near Burlington, a few miles below the falls in the Delaware River. Richard's first home was on 218 acres at the Delaware River Falls on the Pennsylvania shore just opposite the east end of Biles Island. (See Jasper Dankers' 1679 map). He sold the land to Daniel Gardner and John Luff, 2 Jan 1681, moving to a new tract about two miles upstream, in or near what is Morrisville, opposite modern-day Trenton. The locality of these two home sites was then known as Crewcorne (variously spelled), named by William Penn whose estate was adjoining. Crewcorne is now known as Fallsington. Richard was quite active in the affairs of the community while living at the Falls. He joined with other settlers at the Falls in signing petitions 12 Apr and 13 Sep 1680, to the Governor of New Yorke "finding ourselves aggrieved by ye Indians when drunk, informeth, that wee be and have been in great danger of our lives, of our houses burning, of our goods stealing, and of our wives and children affrighting..." The principal offender was Gilvert Wheeler at whose house, they claimed, the Indians obtained their liquor and made themselves drunk, revel and fight together, come furiously and break our fences, steal our corn, break our windows and doors, carry away our goods and worry three of our cattle in one day with their dogs. (Fernow, Berthold, "New York Colonial Manuscripts", Vol XII, 1877.) After William Penn's arrival, a license system was adopted which made selling of strong drink to the Indians a crime. An entry in the minutes of the Council of Philadelphia, 3 Feb 1686, reads: "Report being made by ye members of Bucks County, that Richard Ridgway is a fitt person for ye keeping of an ordinary in ye County, a Lycense accordingly."(PA Arch., Colonial Records, vol.1, p124) His establishment was called Crown Inn. From the records of the Courts of Quarter Sessions and other records of Bucks County, we learn that Richard served as a juror in 1681, 1685, 1686; a jury foreman in 1688; as attorney for defendants in 1686, 1688; an estate appraiser in 1687; witnessed a will; made an estate inventory; served as a "Viewer of fences from ye falls to ye Governor's Mansion" in 1686; and served as witness on several occasions. His wife, Elizabeth, appeared as a witness several times and her mother, Elizabeth Hickman, appeared at least once. An interesting sidelight appears in the minutes for the Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends, 4th day 10th mo. 1689: Elizabeth, wife of Richard Ridgway, hath fought with her neighbor Chorley's wife, and women friends have spoken with her and that they find her stubborn, wailful and obstinate and that she justifies the act. Therefore it is agreed that for the present the meeting be removed from the house of Richard Ridgway to the home of Allice Dickerson. (Bucks Co. Hist. Soc.) Land deeds relative to Richard Ridgway and his sons are numerous. In a deed dated 7 Oct 1690, Richard Ridgeway, late of Bucks County, PA, tailor now of West Jersey, acquired from Daniel Coxe 600 acres near Stoney Brook, West Jersey, located along the East Jersey line, and next to John Houghton. (NJA 21:450) This was to be Richard's third home in America. In early terms, it was on Stony Brook in Maidenhead Twp, Burlington Co, NJ. Today it would be on the road between Princeton and Lawrenceville in Mercer County. On 20 Feb 1695/6, Richard Ridgway's sons, and others were accused of killing some domestic hogs in a complaint in court, the defendant claiming they were wild hogs (Burlington Court Book, p135) On 17 Mar 1695 Richard Ridgway of Maidenhead, Burlington Co., tailor, and his wife Abigail sold 400 acres of their Stony Brook land to John Bainbridge (NJA 21:488), and on 6 Jul 1696 the remaining 200 acres to Joseph Sackett (NJA 21:489). Then on 7 Feb 1697, for 320 pounds, Richard Ridgway of Burlington Co., yeoman, purchased 600 acres on Mattacopany Creek, Springfield Twp, Burlington Co, from John Hollingshead, Jr, NJA 21:502. (1979, location: near Village of Jacksonville on the road from Burlington to Jobstown). This became his fourth and final home in the New World. In 1700-1702, Richard Ridgeway was sitting on the bench as Justice for the Burlington Co, Court of Session and Court of Common Pleas (Burlington Court Book, pp175-201).

Notes

Note N503per Glen Swartz about Richard Ridgway found at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=glen_swar...: The connection of Ridgway at Burlington Co, NJ to Sir Robert Lord Ridgway of Torre Church was disproved in 1929. (Virkus, "Compendium of American Genealogy," is not accurate, and provides no evidence for the claim, except a false assumption and folklore) ------------------------------ Brick, Gertrude N. and Thurman Ridgway. "Ridgways in the U.S.A." Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc, 1980. (LCCN: 79093416) pp10-12. (editing by Glen Swartz) After, 1682 a law was passed in Pennsylvania requiring a record of all arrivals. In the Bucks county "Book of Arrivals," p18, (original in the Bucks Co. Hist. Soc. at Doylestown), the following is recorded: "Richard Ridgway and Elizabeth his wife, of Welford, in the County of Bark [Berks], Taylor, arrived in this Delaware river in the ship 'Jacob and Mary' of London, in the 7th mo., 1679, with their children: Thomas, born the 25th, 5th mo., 1677, and Richard, born the 27th, 2nd mo., 1680." (Cook, "The Ridgway Family") The Jacob and Mary probably landed its passengers near Burlington, a few miles below the falls in the Delaware River. Richard's first home was on 218 acres at the Delaware River Falls on the Pennsylvania shore just opposite the east end of Biles Island. (See Jasper Dankers' 1679 map). He sold the land to Daniel Gardner and John Luff, 2 Jan 1681, moving to a new tract about two miles upstream, in or near what is Morrisville, opposite modern-day Trenton. The locality of these two home sites was then known as Crewcorne (variously spelled), named by William Penn whose estate was adjoining. Crewcorne is now known as Fallsington. Richard was quite active in the affairs of the community while living at the Falls. He joined with other settlers at the Falls in signing petitions 12 Apr and 13 Sep 1680, to the Governor of New Yorke "finding ourselves aggrieved by ye Indians when drunk, informeth, that wee be and have been in great danger of our lives, of our houses burning, of our goods stealing, and of our wives and children affrighting..." The principal offender was Gilvert Wheeler at whose house, they claimed, the Indians obtained their liquor and made themselves drunk, revel and fight together, come furiously and break our fences, steal our corn, break our windows and doors, carry away our goods and worry three of our cattle in one day with their dogs. (Fernow, Berthold, "New York Colonial Manuscripts", Vol XII, 1877.) After William Penn's arrival, a license system was adopted which made selling of strong drink to the Indians a crime. An entry in the minutes of the Council of Philadelphia, 3 Feb 1686, reads: "Report being made by ye members of Bucks County, that Richard Ridgway is a fitt person for ye keeping of an ordinary in ye County, a Lycense accordingly."(PA Arch., Colonial Records, vol.1, p124) His establishment was called Crown Inn. From the records of the Courts of Quarter Sessions and other records of Bucks County, we learn that Richard served as a juror in 1681, 1685, 1686; a jury foreman in 1688; as attorney for defendants in 1686, 1688; an estate appraiser in 1687; witnessed a will; made an estate inventory; served as a "Viewer of fences from ye falls to ye Governor's Mansion" in 1686; and served as witness on several occasions. His wife, Elizabeth, appeared as a witness several times and her mother, Elizabeth Hickman, appeared at least once. An interesting sidelight appears in the minutes for the Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends, 4th day 10th mo. 1689: Elizabeth, wife of Richard Ridgway, hath fought with her neighbor Chorley's wife, and women friends have spoken with her and that they find her stubborn, wailful and obstinate and that she justifies the act. Therefore it is agreed that for the present the meeting be removed from the house of Richard Ridgway to the home of Allice Dickerson. (Bucks Co. Hist. Soc.) Land deeds relative to Richard Ridgway and his sons are numerous. In a deed dated 7 Oct 1690, Richard Ridgeway, late of Bucks County, PA, tailor now of West Jersey, acquired from Daniel Coxe 600 acres near Stoney Brook, West Jersey, located along the East Jersey line, and next to John Houghton. (NJA 21:450) This was to be Richard's third home in America. In early terms, it was on Stony Brook in Maidenhead Twp, Burlington Co, NJ. Today it would be on the road between Princeton and Lawrenceville in Mercer County. On 20 Feb 1695/6, Richard Ridgway's sons, and others were accused of killing some domestic hogs in a complaint in court, the defendant claiming they were wild hogs (Burlington Court Book, p135) On 17 Mar 1695 Richard Ridgway of Maidenhead, Burlington Co., tailor, and his wife Abigail sold 400 acres of their Stony Brook land to John Bainbridge (NJA 21:488), and on 6 Jul 1696 the remaining 200 acres to Joseph Sackett (NJA 21:489). Then on 7 Feb 1697, for 320 pounds, Richard Ridgway of Burlington Co., yeoman, purchased 600 acres on Mattacopany Creek, Springfield Twp, Burlington Co, from John Hollingshead, Jr, NJA 21:502. (1979, location: near Village of Jacksonville on the road from Burlington to Jobstown). This became his fourth and final home in the New World. In 1700-1702, Richard Ridgeway was sitting on the bench as Justice for the Burlington Co, Court of Session and Court of Common Pleas (Burlington Court Book, pp175-201). Richard gave one acre to the Quakers for a meeting house and burying ground. It is known as the "Copany" or "Old Springfield" (Preparative) Meeting of the Burlington Monthly Meeting. The old meeting house, second structure on the site was erected in 1775, and still stands today, having been converted to a private home. ------------------------------ "Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol. 1, 1670-1730" Patterson, NJ, 1901. pp383-4. 1722 Sep 21.
