ThomasFaulkner

Adelle Bartlett Harper wrote What's Your Family Line? Heard family history

Adelle states that Stephen came the next year bringing his wife, Lady Mary Faulkner of Wales, who eloped with him in order to marry.  Tradition says that Lord Faulkner of Wales repulsed Stephen with scorn when he asked for his daughter’s hand in marriage, because although of noble birth, he was an Irishman."

Adelle made a BIG MISTAKE FOR MARY FAULKNER NEVER HAD TITLE. HER FATHER WAS NOT LORD FAULKNER OF WALES.

Mary parents were Thomas Faulkner and Mary Ferree not Lord Faulkner

Please stop calling Mary Lady Mary Faulkner. Do your research with care not just a story that a Person thought sound good

I believe that Thomas Faulkner who married Mary Katherine Ferree that this is his family. Remember Class in families mean a lot. Son may sometimes marry below in Class but if daughter does she is sometimes disinherited.

STORIES OR LEGENDS

The 64 billion dollar question: Who was/is Thomas Faulkner/Falkner parents??? Below are some of thoughts of others who they think was Thomas parents. I when out to see if they were right or not. The following is what I found.

Before I start; William Penn took families with money for he needed their help in keeping the colony of Pennsylvania going.

Could Thomas have met Mary in London while her family was waiting for the ships to depart to NY? This has NOT been proven

Some say that Thomas Faulkner was friend of Richard Davis, husband of Jane Ferree in England. I or any one else have NOT been able to prove this. But there has been a Davis family in America since early 1600s. Could they be Richard Davis family? I am add this Could Richard Davis and Thomas Faulkner met in Philly? Sure. Could this where both them met the Ferree? Yes there is where the Ferree family first came to PA. I understand they stay in Philly few months before move to Pequa Valley. By 1710 the family was paying taxes. Thomas Faulkner and Richard Davis could gone to England and came back to America on the same Ship as the Ferree family. Question if the meet on ship 1710 why did they wait until 1715 to marry? One more thing there is no Faulkner or Davis on the ship that Ferree came on.

A cousin upon going to England found a Thomas Faulkner who was baptized in St. Martins-in-the- Fields Church in London, England. Now St. Martins-in-the-Fields is not an area in London that the Ferree family would be found living or even gone to Church there. It was for working class people not same Class the Ferree are. This Church is also belongs with Church of England not the Reformed Walloon Church. So Mary Ferree could not have met Thomas Faulkner there. Thomas Faulkner at St. Martin's-in-the-Field. It turns out that the cousin made a mistake. Which now agrees with me.

Now some say that Thomas is son of Jesse Faulkner a carriage/coachman from England. There was a Jesse Faulkner who died at the age of 73, 6 Aug 1732. Register of Burial 1732 Aug 18. Jessee Faulkner of St. George on the east of County Middlesex was a coachman. wandsworth register transcript 1603-1787 ml 1732 Aug 18 Jesse Faulkner, of St George in the East in the Co of Middx, coachman. He fell from the coach box & died of apoplexy, as was supposed.

1st a coachman class would not be in the same class as the Ferree family.

2nd Did this Jesse have a son name Thomas?

3rd If Jesse did have son name Thomas how working class person get 3lbs to pay for his passenger to America?

4th Can anyone prove that Jesse's son (if he had son) did come to America? This post on many site but they do not have prove.

In case you all do not what mean by Class. There were working class, merchant class, manufacture owners, upper class and royalty etc. Women never, also must never marry, down in class but male could and sometimes did marry down in class. If a woman marries down in class they must likely to be disowned by their families.

Next some people think Daniel Falkner of Falkner Swamp, is father of Thomas.

The Daniel Falkner family

Falckner, Daniel, Jr.(1666-ca. 1741). B. Saxony; grandson of pastor Christian Falckner; son of pastor Daniel Falckner, Sr.; brother of Justus Falckner*; studied theol. At Erfurt; follower of A. H. Francke*; to Am. 1694; assoc. with Ger. Pietists in Pennsylvania; to Ger. 1698; returned to Germantown (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, with his brother Justus and others 1700; agent of the Frankfort Land Co.; organized and served 1700-08 a cong. in Falckner's Swamp (New Hanover), Pennsylvania; lost all through intrigues of his bus. partners; in later yrs. served congs. in New Jersey and New York

Falckner, Justus (November 22, 1672-1723). Luth. Clergyman; hymnist; b. Saxony; brother of D. Falckner,* Jr.; educ. Halle; to Germantown (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania,

Justus in 1700, with his brother Daniel, and attorney with him of the Frankfort Land Co.: ordained in Gloria Dei Ch., Wicaco(a), Philadelphia, November 24, 1703; pastor New York and New Jersey 1703-23. Works include Grondlycke Onderricht: hymns include "Auf! ihr Christen, Christi Glieder."

Joshus Kocherthal dead in 1719 . Justus served German and Dutch Luthern congregations between Albany and Staten Island.Dominie . Justus Falckner, d 1723, the first Lutheran pastor to be ordained in America, ministered to the Palatines while Kocherthal was abroad. At the communion service conducted by Daniel Falckner, in my absence, about the middle of June 1710: Johannes ENGEL, formerly a member of the Episcopal Church. At the second communion service conducted by Daniel Falckner in the month of June 1710

JOSHUA VON KOCHERTHAL had with him from England the Ferree family, date 1708/9.

Page 38:

Before the departure for New York, Kocherthal acquainted the Board of Trade with the fact that fourteen more Germans (two from Holstein) had unexpectedly arrived and likewise desired to go to New York. (16) On the next day, May 28th, he presented a list of the new group. The petition was considered favorably. In the meantime preparations went ahead for the settlement. Lists of tools and other necessaries were drawn up and submitted. The cost of the voyage was estimated at 333 pounds. On the 28th of June Kocherthal submitted a complete roster of his company. The latecomers were Peter Rose and his wife, Maria Wemarin, a widow, and her daughter, Isaac Feber with his wife and son, Daniel Fiere with his wife and two children, Herman Schuneman. The other two Germans not listed had entered the services of Lord Lovelace, the newly appointed governor of New York. Their names are supplied from the list of May 28th, mentioned above, as Peter Hubertsen and his son Jacob, a lad of fifteen. On questioning, the Board learned that Kocherthal had made an agreement with the others to clear six acres of land for him the first year, to enable him to settle.

Question could Justus Falkner be Thomas father? No, He had two children a daughter and son. This son is to young to be our Thomas father. Daniel Falkner Sr had a son's Daniel. Daniel JR's only son was Daniel. So this rules out our Thomas

Question; Could there be another Faulkner family in New York? Sure but I can not find them. Question: Could Thomas Falkner meet Mary Ferree in New York? Later he came down with them or joined the Ferree family in Pennsylvania later? Sure but can prove this? NO!

Then I found these Thomas Falconer on ship record. Could one of these Thomas be ours? This cannot be ours because our Thomas was in America before 1714. I have proven this by Tax list.

Ship records: Name: Thos Falconer, Year: 1714, Place: Maryland Annotation: Names and occupations of seventeen men and boys who shipped on the American Merchant, 1714, to Maryland. Also in no. 720, Boyer, Ship; Passenger Lists, the South, pp. 11-12. Source Bibliography: NEILL, EDWARD DUFFIELD. ["Passengers on the American Merchant, 1714."] In Terra Mariae; or Threads of Maryland Colonial History. Philadelphia, PA: J.B.

Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1992. 169p. Page: 47

I still believe that Thomas Faulkner and Mary Ferree met in America. Thomas father is Francis Faulkner the son of John and Elizabeth Faulkner of Maryland. Francis does have son name Thomas born 1685.

Again Some folks say that Thomas Faulkner and Mary K Ferree meet on the ship coming from England. The date for this is about 1710. If they meet them why did they wait until 1715 to marry?

Why do I think this is Thomas Faulkner family? John, father William is from the same Social Class.

John Faulkner spelled the surname several different ways, including Falkner, Falconer, Fortner and Forkner. The Faulkner clan arrived in America (Maryland) 22 January 1665 on the ship Agreement, setting out from Bristol. Their passage was paid for with 300 pounds of tobacco. This family consisted of John Faulkner (son of William Faulkner "citizen & draper of London" and Elizabeth Filmer, daughter of Sir Edward Filmer & Dame Elizabeth Argall) and John Faulkner wife was Elizabeth Flimer (daughter of Reginald Filmer & Jane Travis), and their children

John,

Thomas Faulkner married Margary; Children Benjamin, Thomas and John

Francis Faulkner wife is unknown. His sons were John and Thomas Faulkner

It is my belief that Thomas above is Thomas Faulkner who married Mary Katherina Ferree.

John Faulkner parents were William Faulkner born 1590 London, England died Bef 1638 England married Elizabeth Filmer born 1592 East Sutton, Kent, England. They were married 6 Feb 1620 Saint Benet Pauls Wharf, London, London, England.

The Filmer ladies were cousins.

Elizabeth Filmer mother of John; parents were Elizabeth Filmer, daughter of Sir Edward Filmer & Dame Elizabeth Argall

John Faulkner wife was Elizabeth Flimer (daughter of Reginald Filmer & Jane Travis

Reginald Filmer parents were Sir Edward Filmer & Dame Elizabeth Argall

About Sir Edward Filmer & Dame Elizabeth Argall

Dame Elizabeth Argall daughter of Richard Argall and Mary (Maria) Scott

Richard Argall parents were Thomas Argall and Margaret Tallakarne

Mary (Maria) Scott parent were Reginald Scott and Mary Tuke, This family goes back to Royal families of England

Sir Edward Filmer, I have this link back to 1500s in England

History of Lancaster County by Dr. Frederick Klein, 1924

STRASBURG TOWNSHIP AND BOROUGH

It seems to have been officially understood that Mary Ferree (Maria Warenbauer), the mother, was one of the parties of this transaction, and that the two parties named in the instrument should merely, for the present, hold the tract "in behalf of themselves and others, their kindred and relations, who had advanced part of the purchase money for the same." Madame Ferree (Warenbauer) was given receipt in November of the same year for the quit-rent on the tract, which receipt has already been quoted herein, because the name "Strasburg" appears therein. And, with the passing of some years, parts of the Ferree-Lefever tract were deeded to others of their family, and to Thomas Faulkner. The original patent was surrendered in 1735, and another then issued for 2,3oo acres, with allowances, it having been ascertained by a resurvey "that there was a considerable error in respect to the length and the quantity of land therein contained."

1710.. Philadelphia, PA. Oc,t. 1710 10,000 acres is surveyed. The Ferree family is to receive 2,000 acres to be divided among the family. Thomas Faulkner is given 333 acres. (but not at this time, this land was given after Thomas Faulkner who married Mary Ferree in 1715)

About Maria Warenbuer, Philadelphia 11-8-1712 received of Maria Warenbuer twenty shillings sterling for one year quit rent of two thousand acres of land laid out to her at Strasburg in this Province James Logan, Receiver. (Twenty Shillings is a lot of money in this time frame). To the Palatine were granted acres of land in 1710. Madam Fiece, through Martin Kendig obtained 2,300 acres of it by agreement the Patent was granted: Daniel Fiera and Isaac Lefever. Cost of tract 150 lb. Patented Sep 12,1712.

1714 Chester Co. PA Taxes list.

Thomas Ffalkner taxed on 250 acres of land on the Pequea River. Wonder where did Thomas get this land. He has not married Mary Ferree. Some think he got this land from the Ferree family in 1710. This is five years be his marriage.

1715 on the last day of June, final banns are said for the marriage of Thomas Falconer and Mary Catherina Fara at the Immanuel Episcopal Church, Newcastle. Down the same page is the marriage of Jane Fara to Richard Davis 22 August 1715

1715/16 Chester, PA 22 Feb 1715/16 Daniel Ferree and Isaac Lefevre of Pequea-grantors to Thomas Faulkner & wife Mary Katrin of Pequea-grantee 2 tracts of land from 2,000 aces patent as promised.

Record 17 Jan 1717 (D4:359)

Of some concern is that a deed of property was made from the family in February of 1715 to Thomas and Mary Ferree Faulkner, when actually they were not married until 30 June of that year. Finally got that straightened out. The mistake occurred because of the two calendars in use at the time. The property was actually deeded to them in 1716--the February after the June they were married.

Similar deeds must have, passed to the other children, except Mary Fiere the daughter, who did not receive any of this land. No such deeds, however, appear upon our records. There is also a deed recorded in the Recorder's Office of Chester county from Daniel Fiers and wife and Isaac Lefever and wife to Thomas Faulkner, dated February 22, 1715, acknowledged March 28, 1726, and recorded January 17, 1727. The deed conveyed two tracts of 167 acres, one of which lay apparently at the southeast corner of the large tract and the other north of Isaac Lefever and east of Philip Fiere's land. Both are described as part of the 2,000-acre tract. The first of these tracts was deeded by Thomas Faulkner to John Jones, on May 7, 1745, and by him was conveyed to John Fiere. The second was conveyed by Faulkner and wife to Philip Fiere, on June 20, 1746. Upon an examination of the lines of the original Patent, it was ascertained that there was a considerable error in respect of the length and the quantity of land therein contained.

14 Oct 1728 Lancaster Co PA was formed Chester Co. There area where Thomas Faulkner lived became Lancaster.

I have question;

Why did Thomas Faulkner and Mary Ferree go to Delaware and get married?

Now Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (was Chester County) there was Zion Reformed Church (formerly Pequa Reformed), This Church is where Daniel Ferree and his family joined. In the summer of 1712, they (Ferree) arrived in the Pequea Valley in Lancaster County (was Chester County). The first of the four houses of worship built by the congregation was a log structure, about 20 feet square, located on the Southeast corner of the crossroad, two miles Southeast of Strasburg, between Pequea and Mine Hill

Immanuel Episcopal Church, the church that Thomas and Mary Ferree Faulkner married in. The church was built in 1703; this was the parish of the Church of England in Delaware. Burned in 1980 and rebuilt using the original walls and foundation and the Tombstones in adjoining graveyard date from 1707.

Immanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, New Castle, Founded 1689. Plate, Pulpit, and Vestments presented by Queen Anne. (Question; Is Queen Anne the same Queen Anne that Maria Warembuer Ferree audiences with?)

I know this was Protestant Church but it is 1½ days ride from where the Ferree family livid. Mary by age was in her 30s but still a lady would not go by herself. Now Mary and Jane could travel with their brothers to New Castle, Delaware area. They could both met their future husband them. We do not know what Richard Davis or Thomas Faulkner occupation was. Could they have been in gunsmith business? Or Richard Davis and Thomas Faulkner could have been near the docks when the Ferree family first came to Pennsylvania. See these pretty ladies following them to where the Ferree family settled.

One more thing about the Immanuel Protestant Episcopal Church two of Thomas and Mary Ferree Faulkner children also married here. I wonder who the minister was that married Thomas and Mary Ferree Faulkner and Richard Davis and Jane Fara/Ferree? Who was the minister that married Catherine Faulkner and William Green in 1736 or who was the minister that married Susannah Faulkner and Thomas Wilson? Question was there a Faulkner family a member of this church?

Read below for who I think Thomas Faulkner were parents and who I think they are not.

Who was James McCoy parents?

There is a lady who found this marriage and now ever one thinks this Catherine below is their daughter Cath/Catherine Faulkner in 8 Nov 1836 married William Green in Wilmington DE

I do not think Catherine Faulkner who married William Green, 1736 in Wilmington DE. One thing if Thomas was living in Lancaster or even Bucks this to far for a couple to go to get married. Eve and Mary Green could niece or grandchildren. This has not been proving one way or the other.. Eve and Mary Green and James McCoy could be nieces and nephews but until this is prove they well stay right here as a unknown related
