Notes
Birth
The allusion to his birth, "we arenow major, minor, and minimus," in a letter from the Founder to Logan, may be
recalled.
Event
In 1730/1 the death of his elder brother,Springett Penn, unmarried, brought to him the heirship of the remaining
estates of the elder line. They included the old estate, "Shangarry," in
Ireland, with which he was especially associated during the remaining years
of his life, and a place in Sussex, in England, "The Rocks," which I presume
to have been a remnant from the inheritance of the Founder's first wife,
Gulielma Maria Springett, whose possession descended in the elder line.
