Notes

Marriage

Tradition says that Thomas Roberts came from Wales in December, 1699, in the ship "Canterbury" with William Penn, and settled in Bristol Township, Philadelphia County, about five miles above the City, where he and his family continued to live for many years. He was a stone mason, and helped to build the Friends meeting house at Germantown, as the minutes of the meeting state. He appears to have been a member of the Friends Meeting. The minutes of Abington Monthly Meeting of 1 mo. 26, 1705, contain the following entry, which probably refers to their passing meeting the second time.

Whereas Thomas Roberts and Eleanor Potts having declared their intention of Marriage with each other before two Monthly Meetings, and Enquiry being made by persons appointed & found clear from all others on y° account of Marriage, Were permitted to Marry a Mongst us.
