After 30 July 1679. Robert Jefferies left America for England. What happened to him? He is presumed to have died in England (although he might have died in transit, of course).

At least, his will was not among the following:

700 James HARDWICK
James was probably born in Westbury, Somerset, England, in about 1647.[51], [52] He died in 1698; he was about 51 years old.[53]
The father of James Hardwick is Thomas Hardwick of Westbury, Somerset, England, and the mother is unknown. The mother of James might be Joan, the last wife of Thomas of Westbury, or might be the unnamed first wife mentioned in Thomas’s will. Although mentioned in the will of James Hardwick as having given James gifts of a sword and belt, Capt. William Hardidge was not his father, but rather was his first cousin. Capt. William Hardidge appears to have died sometime between 29 November 1691, when he was confirmed as executor of the estate of Richard Sturman and 15 December 1694, when Henry Cotterdale of Bristol, England, appointed Lewis Markham his attorney to recover property, etc., that William Hardidge, decd., owed him. Capt. William Hardidge and Elizabeth Hardidge, his daughter, it might be noted, are mentioned in the will of John Washington, where Elizabeth was bequeathed the watch that John Washington had received as a behest in the will of Capt. William Hardidge. The will of Henry Ashton of Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, which was dated 30-31 October 1711, identifies his wife as Elizabeth nee Hardidge, daughter and sole heir of William Hardidge, Gent.
16 May 1669. James Harditch, among others, was a witness at the enquiry into the drowning of Edward Chubb in the creek between the property of Lt. Col. Washington and Mrs. Margaret Harditch. Based on the testimony of these witnesses, the drowning was ruled accidental. [54] Mrs. Harditch appears to have been the wife (or widow) of William Hardich (see the sale of land by William Hardish, Gent., of Nomony in Westmoreland County to Richard Sturman, 10 October 1659 [55]).
13 September 1670. James Hardwick and Thomas Foster of Westmoreland County acquired 200 acres at the head of the Nomenie River in Copeley Parish from Henry and Sarah Durant. The transfer was signed by Henry (X) and Sarah (X) Durant, and was witnessed by William Overed and Thomas Barrett. The transfer was acknowledged by Henry Durant and his wife, Sarah, on 28 September 1670. [56]

14 December 1670. Thomas Foster transferred to James Hardich his interest in 200 acres purchased by Foster and Hardich from Henry Durant. The transfer was signed by Thomas (X) Foster, and witnessed by William Overett and Thomas Barrett. The transfer was acknowledged by Thomas Foster on 14 December 1670.[58]

Hutt, authorized her good friend, Henry Durant, to acknowledge the deed. On 19 November 1673, the deed was acknowledged by Danll. Hutt and his wife. [63]
29 April 1673. Danll. Hutt of Nominy appointed Capa. Jno. Appleton to acknowledge a parcel of land sold to James Hardwick. This was recorded on 30 April 1673. [64]

Hardwich on 26 August 1674. [69]
24 June 1674. Temperance Hutt of Nominy, widow, acknowledged a debt to Mr. Ja. Hardwich of 7800 pounds of tobacco. A payment schedule was presented. Part of the debt was for land purchased from James Hardwich. This statement was witnessed by Ro. Massey and Robt. Gibbs and was recorded on 24 February 1674/75 [70]
28 October 1674. Ja. Hardwick, age about 27, stated in a deposition that Jno. HARRIS of Northumberland County came to him and demanded from him a horse purchased by James Hardwick from Dr. Mich. Decounty. James Hardwick refused to deliver the horse. Jno. Harris got a warrant and brought James Hardwick before Cap. Tho. Yowell. This deposition was recorded on 28 October 1674. [71]
Tho. Yowell, Capa., stated in a deposition that Ja. Hardwich and Jno. Harris appeared before him and that each wanted the other bound over to the court. Harris apparently made no rebuttal to the demand by James Hardwich, except that he agreed to go to Dr. Decounty. [72]
Sometime during 1677. The corpse of Wm. Clarke was discovered dead by gunshot wound between his plantation and the place where James Hardwick lived. [73]

701 Anne ARMSBY
Possibly about 1649. Anne was born. The death of her father left Anne an “orphan” (i.e., an underaged individual without a father). William Churme was her original guardian. In 1663, Ann Brodhurst became Anne’s guardian (this was later delayed until 1664). Children could choose their guardians when they reached 14 years of age. The change of guardians might indicate that Anne had reached the age of 14.
10 Oct. 1657. John Wood of Westmoreland County, merchant, transferred 200 acres on the "freshes" of the Potomac River in Westmoreland County, Virginia to Ann Armsby. The transfer was witnessed by John Nightingale and Rich. Browne, and was acknowledged by Wood on 20 Feb. 1657/58.[83]
11 March 1662/63. Based on a petition of William Churme, guardian of Ann Armsby, orphan, Ann and her estate were placed in the care of Mrs. Ann Brodhurst, godmother of Ann Armsby. This occurred in Westmoreland County, Virginia.[84]

25 May 1664. Mrs. Ann Brodhurst gave the court security for the guardianship of the “orphans” of John Armsby. This occurred in Westmoreland County, Virginia. [87]
31 August 1664. Wilkes Maunder, security for the guardianship of Wm. Churme, was directed to deliver the estate of the “orphans” of John Armsby to Mrs. Ann Brodhurst. Wm. Churme was allowed 762 pounds of tobacco from the estate to cover expenses. This occurred in Westmoreland County, Virginia. [88]
20 November 1672. James Hardwich of Nominy in Copely Parish, Westmoreland County, Virginia, and his wife Anne (nee Armesby), daughter and heir of John Armesby, decd., of Nomeny, sold 250 acres of land to Col. Nicholas Spencer of Nominie, Esqr., for 100 pounds sterling. This land was inherited by Anne from her father, John. The deed was witnessed by Jno. Appleton and Jno. Lewling, and was recorded on 12 April 1673. On 20 December 1672, James and Anne Hardwich were required to post a bond for 200 pounds to warranty the deed. This was recorded on 12 April 1673. On 10 February 1672/73, James and Anne Hardwich of Nominie in Cople Parish appointed James Gaylord as their attorney. This appointment was witnessed by John Appleton and Jno. Lewlinge and was recorded on 12 April 1673. On 12 April 1673, James Gaylord, attorney for James and Anne Hardwich acknowledged the sale of the land. [89]
After 7 February 1698. Died.[90]
1715. A disagreement arose over the exact bounds of the 250 acres formerly owned by John Armsby and sold by James Hardwick and his wife Anne (nee Armsby). The case was brought by an heir of Col. Nicholas Spencer and did not directly involve the heirs of John Armsby.[91]
Two important people in Anne’s life were John Wood and Ann Brodhurst, the wife of Walter Brodhurst. Who were they?
John Wood--
Who was John Wood, and why did he transfer 200 acres of land to Ann? The first part of the question is easier to answer than the second. Based on the following, John Wood appears to have been a real estate speculator. At the time of the transfer, he was in his lower to mid 30s. He was an associate of Walter Brodhurst, and perhaps his friend. Walter’s wife was the godmother of Anne, the daughter of John Armsby. Because of this, it is more likely that the transfer was to Anne, the daughter, than to Ann(e), the mother, although the daughter would have been only about 8 or 9 years old at the time of the transfer.
1 Aug 1653. John Wood obtained a grant of 600 acres in Northumberland County beginning where the land patented by Tho. Phillips ends upon a branch of Nomany River, opposite to Mr. Rosiers land.[92]

21 Aug 1654. Geo Watts assigned a 300-acre grant in Northumberland County to Jno Wood.[97]
1 Oct 1654. Jno Wood of Westmoreland County, planter, leased Cuthbert Felpe of same 300 acres on which to plant an orchard.[98]
12 ? 1653. John Wood obtained a grant of 1200 acres in Northumberland County by the Nominy River.[99]
12 Sep 1655. John Wood sold this grant with crops and stock to Tho Bacon and Francis Sherwood.[100]
1 Oct 1655. John Redman deposed that he witnessed John Wood and Francis Sherwood sign a bill for tobacco, then heard Robert Sharpe and John Wood examined concerning the will of Hugh Jones, heard Mr. Brodhurst say that they must swear to their statements, but did not witness that happening.[101]
20 Nov 1655. Thomas Bacon and Roger Isham deposed concerning the oath that John Wood had made concerning the will of Hugh Jones (both reported that they had heard Ralph Elston say that the oath [Bacon] or testimony [Isham] was forged).[102]

Ann Brodhurst--
Who was Ann Brodhurst, the godmother and later guardian of Ann Armsby? Ann Brodhurst was the wife first of Walter Brodhurst. Her maiden name is unknown, although some believe that it was Gerard.[121]
According to the records in the Maryland online archives, Walter often was involved with Thomas Gerard.[122] Thomas was not the father of Ann, however, if Lois Green Carr and John Walton are correct. [123] Dr. Thomas Gerrard “was banished from Maryland for taking part in the rebellion of Josias Fendall. He settled at Machodick, Westmoreland county….”[124]
Walter appears to have become embroiled in a struggle in Maryland between Edward Hill Sr. and Lord Calvert. Hill was driven out of the state near the end of 1646.
In August of the following [year], Mr. Broadhurst was charged with saying that “there is now no governor in Maryland for Captain Hill is governor, and him only he acknowledged.” [125]
Walter Brodhurst/Broadhurst died in early 1659. The widowed Ann married Henry Brett, a merchant from Plymouth, England, sometime between 6 Sep 1665 and 27 Sep 1667. In 1669, after Henry’s death, she married Col. John Washington. She was John’s second wife; they had no children. She was not Ann Pope. Ann Pope was the first wife of Col. John Washington, and was still alive and identified in a 1661 land grant as Mrs. Ann Washington, daughter of Nath’l Pope. This was well before the widowed Ann Brodhurst married Henry Brett. After Ann Brodhurst Brett Washington’s death in 1675, John took a third wife. Before Ann died, her surviving son, Walter Brodhurst Jr., along with the young son of her deceased eldest son Gerrard Brodhurst, left Virginia for England, where they lived out their lives.[126]
Walter Brodhurst, Ann’s first husband, was the son of William Brodhurst of Lilleshall, Shallop, England. [127] Walter arrived in Maryland in 1638 with two servants. He probably married Ann in Maryland prior to 1650.[128] Walter had moved from Maryland to Virginia by the end of 1650. [129] In a 30 Aug 1655 deposition, he stated that he was about 36,[130] so he was about the same age as John Wood. Walter’s will was dated 26 Jan 1658/59 and proved 12 Feb 1658/59. Son Gerrard was to inherit his father’s land; if he died without children, then the land was to go to son Walter, and if he died without children; then to daughter Elizabeth. Wife Ann was to be executrix. If Ann remarried, then Thomas Gerrard, Nathaniel Pope, and Robert Slye were to be overseers of his children.[131]

960 Wilhelm RITTINGHAUSEN ("William RITTENHOUSE")
William Rittenhouse was a paper maker and active Mennonite. He was born in 1644 in the principality of Broich. The community of Broich is located near the city of Mülheim, Germany, which is on the Ruhr River (it is now part of that city). He probably worked in a paper mill in the Broich area before moving to the Netherlands to work in paper mills in that country. There, in 1665, he married Geertruid Pieters. The couple had three children, two boys and a girl, Nicholas, Gerhard, and Elisabeth. In 1679, he became a citizen of the Dutch city of Amsterdam. In 1688 or 1689, he removed with his family to America, where he settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania. There, in 1690, he established the first paper mill in America. In 1690, he also became the first Mennonite minister in America. He and his wife both died in 1708.
It is sometimes asserted that William was the first Mennonite bishop in America. This, however, is not true. While authorized to do so, he never assumed the duties of bishop.
William’s ancestry is currently unknown. Daniel Kolb Cassel asserted that he was a Habsburg descendant.[219] This was shown by Calvin Kephart to be untrue.[220] Early writers believed that William came from “Mongowerland” (also “Mongouerland”).[221] Some researchers believe that what is being referred to is the area in the vicinity of a community named Monschau (i.e., “Monschauerland”). Of the several in Germany, the Monshau closest to Broich is the one that is now part of the city of Wuppertal. One further away that some consider a more likely origin for William is the Monschau that had also been called Montjoie.[222] That Monschau was associated with Gelderland. In 1543, it besieged by the forces of Emperor Charles V as part of his successful campaign to seize the Duchy of Guelders, which included Gelderland. If William’s ancestors were from Monschau, he might have spoken the local language of Gelderland, Achterhoeks, a variant of Low Saxon[223] (Dutch was probably a second language for many in Gelderland at the time that William lived there).
1644. Born in the principality of Broich near Mülheim an der Ruhr in Germany. [224]
Before 1665. May have worked in the paper mill of Adolf Vorster in Brioch, Germany.[225]
Before 1665. Probably worked in a paper mill with his uncle by marriage Mathijs Vorster in the Coldenhove area of Gelderland in the Netherlands. Mathijs was married to Ermgard Rittinghausen, a sister of William Rittenhouse’s father. She died in about 1672.[226]
June 1665. As Willem Claasz from Mullehem and living in Coldenhove, Gelderland, The Netherlands, he married Geertruid Pieters of Eerbeek, Gelderland, the Netherlands, in Loenen, Gelderland, The Netherlands.[227] “Claasz” is a patronymic clearly showing that his father was named Claus (or Nicholas).
15 June 1666. Son Nicholas (“Claus”) was born in the Netherlands. [228] He married Wilhelmina De Wees at the Dutch Reformed church in New York on 29 May 1689.[229] Claus was a papermaker and a Mennonite minister in Germantown, Pennsylvania. He died in May 1734.[230]
About 1667. Began working at Het Klooster (The Cloister) paper mill in Eerbeek, Gelderland, the Netherlands. The mill was built in 1667. William Rittenhouse may have been one of those with a financial interest in the mill.[231]
1 Feb. 1669. Willem Rittinkhuysen and wife Geertruid Peters, along with Peter Kersten and wife Claerken Everts, came to an agreement with Jan Petersen Lubberhuysen, the son of Peter Kersten, concerning “…the water serving Peter Kersten’s mill and the paper mill named Het Klooster (The Cloister), at the other side of the brook,” which was Jan’s.[232]
About 1672. Began working at a paper mill in Rozendaal, the Netherlands. Mathijis Vorester and William Rittenhouse’s brother, Heinrich Nicolaus (“Claas”) Rittinghausen, who was born in 1648, were also working there.
1675. In 1675, Claas Rittinghausen, William Rittenhouse’s brother, married Claesje De Ridder, one of their employer’s daughters. Petronella De Ridder, another daughter, married Johan Vorster, a son of Mathijs Vorster and Ermgard Rittinghausen.[233]
23 June 1679. Took oath of citizenship in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. While Henk Voorn, a Dutch paper historian, argues that the correct date is 23 June 1678, the facsimile of the signed oath provided in his article about William Rittenhouse appears to read “23 Junÿ 1679.”[234]
1678 - 1688. Probably became a Mennonite while living in Amsterdam. He might have met William Penn during this time.[235]
1688 or 1689. Immigrated to America with wife and three children (Nicholas, Gerhard, and Elizabeth).[236]
4 April 1689. Settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Acquired Lot No. 19, which in 1938 was the “site of the historic Mennonite Church at the northeast corner of Germantown Avenue and Herman Street.”[237]
1690. Built the first paper mill in Britain’s colonial America. “The mill was located on a branch of the Wissahickon Creek in what is now Fairmont Park, Philadelphia.” The mill was destroyed when the stream flooded in the spring of 1700, but was immediately rebuilt.[238] Below is a picture of a house on the mill-site. [239]
1690. Became the first Mennonite minister in America.[240] A letter written 1 March 1773 by Pennsylvania Mennonite bishops to Mennonites in The Netherlands says, in part, quoting an earlier document written by Jacob Godschalks, an early Mennonite minister, that “[i]n the year 1690 … was Willem Ruttinghausen, born in Mongouer land, chosen preacher….”[241]
18 Feb. 1708. Died in Germantown, Pennsylvania.[242]
951 Geertruid PIETERS
Geertruid Pieters may have been born in Eerbeek, Gelderland, The Netherlands, in about 1642 to a family of papermakers. She married William Rittenhouse in 1665 and gave him a daughter and two sons. In 1688 or 1689, she joined him in removing to America, where her family settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania. She died in 1708.
About 1642. Born, possibly in Eerbeek, Gelderland, The Netherlands (birth year is based upon being 66 in February 1708; [243] her birthplace is based on place of origin indicated on marriage record).
Gelderland was part of the old Duchy of Guelders, which included territory in both what is now Germany and The Netherlands.
An 1867 map showing the localities of Eerbeek and Hall in Gelderland show the location of the Oude Klooster, a paper mill identified with Geertruid’s parents, can be seen southwest of Eerbeek.[244]
About February 1708. Died in Germantown, Pennsylvania. [245]
