About Sir Isaac Penington

http://www.qhpress.org/texts/penington/

"Mary met Isaac Penington, son of Sir Isaac Pennington, Lord Mayor of London under Oliver Cromwell. Isaac was also somewhat of a maverick, having decided to distance himself from his namesake father by removing an "n" from his name: Pennington. He was henceforth known as Isaac Penington."

Isaac Penington's step-daughter married William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania

"Even before the first of the Peningtons set foot in America, the family was linked to the colony of Pennsylvania through devotion to the Quaker faith. This association began with the 1658 conversion of Isaac Penington, the son of a wealthy Puritan and onetime governor of London, also named Isaac. After hearing a stirring speech by George Fox, Penington and his wife Mary finally decided to forsake Isaac's family inheritance in favor of salvation through Quakerism. Isaac, already a prolific writer, became an outspoken proponent of Quaker conversion in England through the publication of many books and pamphlets on religious subjects. Penington also established ties to American Quakerism when, in 1672, his stepdaughter Gulielma Maria Springett wed William Penn."
