William Penn1
b. 14 October 1644, d. 30 July 1718
Birth* | 14 October 1644 | William Penn was born on 14 October 1644 in London, England,3 |
Baptism | 23 October 1644 | and was baptized on 23 October 1644 at the Church of All Hollows, London, Barking, England.4 |
Education* | 26 October 1660 | William's early education had been received at the Chigwell School in Essex and by private tutors. As a young man of 16 years of age, he went to Oxford where on 26 October 1660 he was admitted as a "gentleman commoner" at Christ Church College, Oxford, Oxfordshire. He was extremely unhappy there, feeling persecuted for his evolving religious views, and returned home to his father in 1662.5 |
Religion* | | After his departure from Oxford, William began to actively attend Meetings of the Friends and, within a short time, had identified himself as a Quaker.1 |
(Future Husband) Residence | 1668 | William first met his future wife, Gulielma Maria Springett, early in 1668 while she was living at Bury House, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, in the family of her stepfather, Isaac Penington, with her mother, Mary (Proud) Springett Penington.6 |
Marriage* | 4 April 1672 | He married first Gulielma Maria Springett, daughter of Sir William Springett Knight and Lady Mary Proud, on 4 April 1672 at King's Farm, Chorley Wood, Hertfordshire, England.7 |
Residence* | | Following their marriage, William and Gulielma went to live at Basing House, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, a house William had probably rented.8 |
Relocation* | 1677 | William and Guli Penn moved early in 1677 to Worminghurst, Sussex County, a property Guli had received as a part of her inheritance from her father.9 |
Land Transfer* | 4 March 1681 | William received a royal charter from King Charles II of England on 4 March 1681 dictating the founding of the Colony of Pennsylvania. Penn Biographer's believe the king's reason for handing over this large piece of his American land holdings to William Penn was to satisfy a debt the king owed to Penn's father. The land included present-day Pennsylvania and Delaware. The name Pennsylvania, which translates roughly as "Penn's Woods", was created by combining the Penn surname in honor of William's father, with the Latin word sylvania, meaning "forest land." The king's charter declared William absolute owner of the land and, as such, he had the authority to dispose of the land with little restriction. He recognized the claims to the land held by the Native Americans and maintained a policy of purchasing land from them before selling land for settlement. This same policy was mostly adhered to by his heirs.10,11,12,13 |
Land Grant* | 5 April 1682 | On 5 April 1682,William Penn of Worminghurst, in the County of Sussex, Esq. sold to John Sharples of Hatherton, Cheshire , for £20, a land grant for 1000 acres within the newly created province of Pennsylvania.14,15 |
(Husband) Death | 23 February 1693/94 | William became a widower when Gulielma (Springett) Penn died on 23 February 1693/94.16 |
Marriage* | 5 March 1695/96 | He married Hannah Callowhill of the city of Bristol, daughter of Thomas Callowhill and Hannah Hollister, on 5 March 1695/96 at Bristol, England.17 |
Illness* | 4 October 1712 | William Penn suffered his first apoplectic stroke in the Spring of 1712 in London, and was seized by a second one on 4 October 1712 at Bristol. He and Hannah returned to Ruscombe, Berkshire, where the family's home had been established since 1710 and, shortly after his arrival there, he sustained a third stroke of apoplexy. These three strokes permanently disabled Penn's mental powers and left his physical strength so shattered that he gradually declined until his death.18 |
Death* | 30 July 1718 | He died between two and three o'clock in the morning of 30 July 1718 at Ruscombe at age 73.19 |
Burial* | | He was buried in the Friends Burial Ground, Jordans, Buckinghamshire, in the presence of twenty to thirty Quaker ministers and a large number of Friends and others.20 |

(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: published by the author, 1816), pages 7-12, with a transcription of the indenture between John Sharples and William Penn noting Sharples was "of Ratherton, in the County Pallatine of Chester". Whether Hatherton was transcribed in error as "Ratherton", or Ratherton later became Hatherton, has not been learned by this researcher. A county palatine or palatinate was an area ruled by a hereditary nobleman possessing special authority and autonomy from the rest of a kingdom or empire. William the Conqueror founded the County Palatine of Chester, ruled by the Earls of Chester. Chester had its own parliament, consisting of barons of the county, and was not represented in the parliament of England until 1543, while it retained some of its special privileges until 1830.
