• Notes

  William Penn became a Quaker and King Charles II granted Penn a land grant in America in 1681 which later became Pennsylvania. Penn's colonization of this area began in 1682 and he encouraged religious freedom there for the Quakers and other religious groups. The Daweses came to Pennsylvania about 1702 and settled near Philadelphia in what later became Montgomery County. Francis Dawes married Margaret Griffith on 27 November 1704 in Pennsylvania. Margaret was born in Wales and may be the daughter of Thomas Griffith. Francis and Margaret had four known children: Mary, Adrian, Catherine, and Hannah. Francis died in 1749.
