Sarah Penington

"After his arrival in Pennsylvania, Penn secured a position for his brother-in-law, Edward Penington, in the new colony. Edward arrived in April of 1698 and began work as surveyor general of Pennsylvania. The following year Penington wed Sarah Jenings, daughter of former New Jersey Governor Samuel Jenings, at New Jersey's Burlington Friends' Meeting House. Edward and Sarah Penington had one child, Isaac Penington, before Edward's death in November of 1700. Isaac went on to lead an active life in the civic activities of Bucks County and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was among the men who organized and founded the Library Company of Philadelphia, along with Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Hopkinson, and Thomas Cadwalader. Edward Penington, the son of Isaac and Ann Biles Penington, was the first member of the family to make a name for himself in the world of business. Born in Bucks County, Edward established a lucrative mercantile firm in Philadelphia and had a magnificent house built for his family at the corner of Crown (between Fourth and Fifth) and Race Streets. Penington, like his forbears, was a staunch Quaker, and thus could not endorse the military action of the revolutionary forces against England. Like many Quakers, Penington was arrested and imprisoned for his resistance to the war along with his son, Isaac, then twenty years of age."
