WINN. Aldeburgh, Suffolk. (To be continued.) ASSHETON OF SALFORD AND PENN OF PENNSYLVANIA. William Perm returned to a sojourn in England, he IN 1699, when America after brought with him his kinsman, Robert Assheton of Salford, gentleman, the latter' s wife Margaret, and several children. From that time until 1770 the Asshetons were prominent in the life of Philadelphia as leaders in politics and in the established Church. Although the name has now died out in America, there are many descendants in female" lines a situation duplicated in England by the descendants of the Rev. Robert Assheton of Trinity Chapel, Salford, uncle of the emigrant. My researches in the history of the family, although not entirely satisfactory, have proved beyond question the connexion between the early Asshetons and the Perms, and have by this means identified one of the sisters of Admiral William Perm, father of the founder of Pennsylvania. On May 30, 1687, William Perm granted to his cousins, the children of W T illiam Assheton of Salford, gentleman, 3,000 acres of land in Pennsylvania. Over a half-century later, the surviving heirs became involved in a legal controversy, the papers in which give some interesting genealogical information (' The Penn Papers, Pennsylvania Land Grants,' vol. ix., pp. 141-159, in the library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania). Jeffrey Hart of Salford,* in an affidavit stated that he had married Margaret, daughter of the Rev. Robert Assheton of Salford, brother of William Assheton, the father of the emigrant. William Assheton's wife is stated to have been a rela- tive of William Penn. William Assheton was buried at Trinity Chapel, Salford, January 7, 1721 (ibidem). In the list of marriage licences recorded at Chester (' Record Society of Lancashire and Cheshire,' vol. vi., p. 48) occurs the entry of William Ashton of Salford, gentleman, and Frances Bradshaw, spinster, August, 1668. Dugdale, in his ' Visitation of Lancashire,' 1664-5, records Frances Bradshaw as the youngest daughter of Ralph Bradshaw of Pendleton, gentleman, by his wife Rachel, daughter of Giles Pen [sic], merchant of Bristol (' Chetham Society,' vol. Ixxxiv., p. 53). This Giles Pen or Penn was the father of Admiral William Penn ('D.N.B.'). Frances Bradshaw Assheton was therefore a first cousin of the proprietor.
- Jeffrey Hart and Margaret his wife were
the ancestors of the Ethelstons of Hinton, Shrop- shire, and the Peels of Bryn-y-Pys, near Euabon.
