Family History

Pietro Caesare Alberti, a native of the island of Malamocco, near Venice, and one of the first Venetians or Italians to come to New Netherland, arrived June 2, 1635, as a sailor on the ship 'de Coninck David' (The King David). He was proably born about 1605-10. An account of his possible origin and his early days in New Amsterdam was printed in GMNJ 1:29-31. He was md. in the Dutch Church at N.A. (New Amersterdam) Aug. 24 1642, to Judith Jans, from Amsterdam, elsewhere referered to as Judith Meynje or Manje, dau. of Jan Manje of Brooklyn. (NYDCR Mar.: 11 Bap : 31 NUCD: 27). His name is spelled in a score of ways in early Dutch records. In 1639, as Cicero Alberto, Italian, he contracted with Pieter Montfoort to build a house and develop a plantation in Brooklyn, and in 1643 he received a patent for the adjoining property, on which he had probably already started a tobacco plantation. He had earlier occupied premises on the Heeren Gracht (now Borad St) in Manhattan. He and his wife died shortly before Nov. 9, 1655, leaving six children, and there was some difficulty about the appointment of guardians for them. An allusion to the "stewards of the dead and of the Indian sufferers" may indicate that the parents lost their loves in an Indian raid. (Gen. Mag. of NJ Vol 13 Issue 4)

Thomas Angell

son of Robert Angell

b: 1542

d: 1583

married

Anne Harby

b: 1540

 

The family was said to be descended from Henry de Angele of Anjou. He was a relation of King Henry I by whom in 1128 he was created Abbot of Peterborough and on resigning the Abbey took up abode in Peakirk.

In 1581 Thomas Angell was buried at Peakirk...He was a wealthy farmer, by his first marriage he was left one son John, and by his second wife he had six sons survived him.

John Angell, son by the first marriage of Thomas Angell located himself at Abbots Ripton in Huntingdonshire, from him came a long line of Angells listed in the parish records until recently. The sons of Thomas Angell by his second marriage were John, Thomas, William (Afterwards known as the first purchaser of Crowhurst) Randall, Edward and Robert.

William Angell being of an ambitious nature left Peakirk and sought his fortune in London, where having established himself as a citizen and fishmonger, and having amassed a large fortune, he purchased Crowhurst in Surrey. Eventually he became fishmonger to King James I, he died in 1629 leaving amongst other children John his eldest son and heir at law.

John Angell (son of the above) became caterer to King James I, Charles I and Charles II, and Chief Warder of the Outer Gate of Windsor Castle and Keeper of the Armoury and Ordinance there.

William Angell

b: 1562 Peakirk, London, ENG

d: Oct 1629

bur: 30 Oct 1629 St. Thomas the Apostle, London, ENG

8 January 1615/16

Elizabeth Eveson

William was born in Peakirk, Northamptonshire around 1560. He went to London where he became a member of the Fishmonger's Company. He was admitted to the Livery of Fishmongers Co. 9 Dec. 1594, became a member of Fishmonger's Court of Assistants 1597 and a Warden of the Company in 1611.

William was also appointed as Sergeant Accatery or Provisioner to The King, probably acquired for him by Sir John Povey. This post had cost William 1500 pounds.

In 1605 William was the part owner of a ship called the Triall, with his brother in law John Halsey (married to Jane Povey), and two others. The ship was rented out to an Arthur Chambers for a trip to Virginia. William must have been suspicious about the venture as he placed his right hand man Roger Bamford on board for the trip. The ship never got to the Americas, instead Chambers sailed around the English and Irish coasts throwing wild parties funded by selling the ships tackle. Bamford attempted to complain but was held prisoner and it is believed that the ship was used for a spot of piracy off the coast of Spain. Chambers finally dumped the ship in Ireland and ran off to join a well known pirate.

In 1608 Joan Povey died and was buried at St Thomas Aspotle in the City of London. It was not until 8 January 1615/16 that William remarried. His new wife was Elizabeth Eveson and the marriage was probably arranged by John Halsey.

In 1614 William purchased a house and lands in Crowhurst, Surrey. The house was known as Mansion House and the church contains the tombs of many later generations of Angells.

"Claypoole was a Quaker merchant and good friend of William Penn and George Fox. Both Fox and Penn consulted him about their writings, and he helped Penn draft the Frame of Government for Pennsylvania. His Letter Book begins about the time Penn was granted his colony, and shows Claypoole to be a man who was by turns generous and penny-pinching, and strictly honest with his clients but deceitful toward the Customs, which he cheated when he could." - James Claypoole Letter Book

James immigrated from England in 1683 , arriving on the 'Concord' with William Penn.

From Gravesend, set sail on 'Concorde', William Jeffries, master. She was "reported by its best known passenger, James Claypoole, to have carried a crew of forty, mounted twenty-six guns, was 132 feet long and 32 feet broad. Claypoole also said it was 'about 500 tunns' burthen and could transport 140 passengers in comfort. [James summed her up in this same reference as "a brave strong good ship every way" -DM].

When ready to sail from Gravesend it had been victualled for 120 passengers, a number of whom - "the friends from Crevilt" - had been late in arriving at London. When they did finally come on board, they found "many convenient Cabins made and private rooms for familys and 14 Excellent Oxen killed and 30 Tunn beer & abundance of bread and water already stowed away".

". . . the last sight of England was not until about three weeks later. After a "very comfortable passage" of 49 days, land was once more sighted, and on 1 8m (October), some of the passengers, including Claypoole, went ashore for the first time, possibly at Lewes. Philadelphia, however, was not reached until a week later."

Through the efforts and influence of James Claypoole, arrangements were also made for a little band of Germans to sail from London on the same ship. Under a special charter from William Penn, these were destined to found Germantown, Pennsylvania.

Some of the German passengers gave their date of arrival as 6 October, Claypoole his arrival as "8th or 10th" October..." -The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine 1965, Balderston, Marion; Pennsylvania's 1683 Ships and Some of Their Passengers

"Claypool brought over several servants, Maslands, Sislla Wooley, Edward Cole, Jr and one unamed. Wm & Elizabeth Hard came along, but an elder Bennett sailed on the second ship The Jeffrey. James had sent his servants over to build a house for him and have it ready, it was with a little problem, his instructions didn't include fireplaces and he froze most of the winter till they were completed."

Joseph as a joiner by trade and High Sheriff, Philadelphia, PA.

In his notebook Joseph wrote: "Philadelphia, Nov. ye 30 dy, 1715, on Wednesday aboute a quartetr Past twelve in the afternun My Most Dere and well Beloved Wife Rebecca Claypool Dyed, at my house in Wallnut Streete and was Buried in ye auld Bering Bround by My Relations and on Saterday Dec. ye 17 dy, 1715, I had my Dau Mary Removed from ye Church yard and Laid in My Wife's Grave With her." - Diary of Joseph Claypoole

"He was involved with the promotion and building of Christ Church in Philadelphia and he contributed funds toward its construction. There was no congregation of the Church of England within the limits of Philadelphia until 1695. As soon as the petition for a parish for Christ Church was presented, the local Quaker Magistrates arrested the attorney who drew up the petition along with several of the principal signers. The angry Quakers called the first rector of Christ Church [the Rev. Thomas Clayton] "the minister of the doctrine of devils." The early Quaker colonists had hoped to keep Philadelphia as a strict Quaker colony, but William Penn, while having adopted the Quaker religion for himself, permitted more religious freedom than did his followers; nor did Penn wish to jeopardize his significant investment in his colony. Christ Church lists Joseph Claypoole as Vestryman for Christ Church from 1718 to 1721. He was also first warden to Christ Church.

He was ten years old when his father died; followed by the death of his mother twelve months later. It is not known who raised young Joseph, but it was probably one or more of his older brothers or sisters, Joseph being the youngest in the family. He apparently grew up in Philadelphia as well as outside of the growing town.

Some records mention that he may have been the most wealthy of the Claypooles in America. Joseph owned a business in Philadelphia (on Walnut street) and during part of his working years he was also High Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The inhabitants of Philadelphia were for the most part trades people, such as cloth, fustian and linen weavers; tailors, shoemakers; locksmiths; and carpenters; but at the same time many of these businessmen were occupied with the cultivation of the soil and the raising of cattle.

With Rebecca's death the widower Joseph was left with six children--one an infant only eleven days old. He remarried only four months later to Edith Ward of Philadelphia with whom he had four more children from 1717 through 1723.

On May 1, 1729 Joseph's daughter, Rebecca, was married to Henry Pratt at the communion table of Christ Church by Reverend Archibald Cummings. Family records mention this wedding and that after the ceremony: "...followed to and from the church in grand procession by a long string of relatives and friends. It being at the particular request of the old man [Joseph Claypoole, aged about 51], who prided himself as a pillar of the church."

It appears that Joseph began preparing for his retirement years in 1738 (shortly after his second wife died). On February 15, 1738 Joseph placed and advertisement in Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette Newspaper offering to sell 600 acres of land in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, located on Nashamench Creek, and four acres of pasture on Society Hill. Later that same year (May 25) there appeared another article in the same newspaper: "CLAYPOOLE, Joseph, joiner, has left off his business, which has been taken over by his son Josiah; Josiah has removed from the shop on Walnut St. to the Joyners Arms in Second St."

This advertisement may also indicate that the Walnut Street property was sold or leased about this time. Joseph may have moved to Burlington County, New Jersey sometime after giving up his business." -A. Lawrence Kiefer

The Immigration

The Kent carried colonists to West New Jersey with Gregory Marlow as master and loaded in London for New Jersey 19 March to 31 March 1677. There followed loadings for other ports, but she sailed before May. The Kent sailed first to New York, arriving either the 4th, 12th or 16th August. Then after a short stay, the Kent sailed across the bay to Perth Amboy, after which she headed south to the Delaware, landing first at the mouth of Raccoon Creek where she is said to have disembarked some 230 passengers of a total of 270. She then moved on to Chygoes Island, now Burlington. Other histories state that she landed at Raccoon Creek after an early June halt at New Castle, then to Burlington on 23 June. However, the arrival time in New York is known from the minutes of the New York government, with which the Commissioners (aboard the Kent) met during their stay there. The Yorkshire purchasers settled the 1st tenth, from Assinpink to Rancocas. The London purchasers settled the 2nd tenth, from Rancocas to Timber Creek. Those known to have been aboard or thought to have been aboard the Kent were:

NOTE: Persons in parentheses are doubtful, and may be listed later with a different ship. Persons listed in brackets were servants.

(Benjamin Acton) Benjamin Acton is thought to have rather been a passenger on the Lyon of Liverpool, arriving Philadelphia, October 1683. [John Allin] ([Jane Allin]) (Edward Bradway, wife Mary, children; William, Mary, Susannah; servants; John Allin, Thomas Buckel, William Groom) This Edward Bradway was possibly on the Greyhound, on which he loaded goods after the Kent had departed. ([Thomas Brinton]) ([Thomas Buckel]) William Clayton John Cripps Richard Davis or Davies, loaded 22 March Morgan Drewett, loaded 24 March William Emley or Emlen (probably Emley, as this is a noted Burlington County, NJ name) Thomas Eves Thomas Foulke Thomas Farnsworth ([William Groom]) Jonathan Habbuck, loaded 31 March Thomas Harding Joseph Helmsley (William Hibbs or Hebes) Henry Jennings (John Kinsey, actually came on the Greyhound, loading after the Kent left) Samuel Lovett _____ Marshall, a carpenter Thomas Nosster Thomas Olive, loaded 22 March William Peachey John Penton or Penford William Perkins, died aboard, and family Robert Powell Christopher Saunders Benjamin Scott Robert Stacey Robert Wade, loaded 19 March. Perhaps he had first come on the Griffin and returned as agent for the Colony. (Christopher White, servants: Jane Allin and Thomas Brinton. Perhaps he was on the Griffin instead, which is supposed to have arrived in 1677.) Daniel Wills John Wilkinson, died aboard Jonathan Woodhouse, loaded 22 March William Woodhouse or Woodmancy and family John Woolston

NOTE: It should be noted that many passengers alleged to have been aboard were from Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, and other northern counties. They probably loaded at a northern port, perhaps Hull or Liverpool, before the Kent arrived at London, which is why they do not appear in the London loadings.

d: 1658 St. Stevens Church, Bremen, Bremen, GER

married

Elizabeth Kennedy

b: abt. 1600 Kennewy, Scotland

d: abt. 1660 Bremen, GER

A wealthy merchant and also a mayor of Culross (Co. Perth), 1639-41, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, Scotland, and Member of the Scottish Parliament, 1644-45. He had to emigrate on or about 1645 when the British civil war reached his country for he and his family were supporters of the Stuart dynasty. With his wife Elizabeth Kennedy and six children, he went to Bremen, Germany. There he had already been at least in 1634 to act as manager as Sir George Bruce of Culross, a rich Scottish coal and salt mine owner. From Mercer's children, one son died in Bremen, the other two are said to have gone to the Canares and India, and the three daughters married men from Bourgeois families in England (Claypoole) and Germany (Lucae, Uckermann).

Balthashar Mercer is named a "Parliamentary Assessor in Edinburgh." Actually, in the Scottish M.P.'s list we find several Mercers or Mersers--who in their majority may have been members of the important Mercer family from Perth (see below), but nobody with the forename Balthashar.

Now the emigrant is sometimes called Archibald Merser in business letters from Bremen in 1634, and this is not a secretary's mistake--on the contrary, Balthashar is the bowdlerization of Archibald, a then very popular name in Scotland. As we will see the emigrant namely came from Culross on the north shore of the Fifth of Forth, and therefore it is doubtless which representative he was--Archibald Merser, merchant burgess in Culross (then co. Perth, now co. Fife) and Member of Parliament for this Royal Burgh in the Scottish Parliaments from 1639 to 1641 and from 1644 to 1647.

In this second period as an M.P. Archibald Merser was only present in the first three sessions, ending July 11, 1645, and maybe in this very year (1645) the flight to Bremen took place. . . . The advance of Cromwell's troops in Scotland became highly dangerous to Mercer not before 1647/48 when King Charles I was imprisoned and his Scottish supporters were outlawed. Thus we can suppose that in fact the royalist Mercer fled of the Scottish Covenants in 1645 (Charles I still lived then!). Later on the fear of Cromwell's regime made Mercer and afterwards his widow stay in their exile.

Furthermore we know that Archibald Merser in Culross was the father of a son Thomas who was baptized on 26 Sep 1641 and of another son whose name is unknown and who was baptized on 8 Sep 1642 (both times the children's mother is not mentioned by name). To ease the clearness we will again speak of Balthasar Mercer instead of Archibald Merser in the following.

Mercer's mines worked with the then most modern technics and were well-known. According to that Culross had its flourishing time in the 17th century--but we may not forget the incredible distress of the worker families--and especially with Bremen there was intensive trade . Fortunately we know an interesting correspondence between Bremen and Culross from the year 1634. On Apr 11 1634 the Senate of Bremen wrote to Bruce--we learn from a summary--that "there had been made a contract with his servant Balthasar Merser concerning ca. 300 charges of salt the city of Bremen would buy from Brust (Bruce) . . . This information is valuable for hence it appears to us Balthasar Merser's position in Scotland as well as his business connections to Germany. Probably Mercer's family came from Edinburgh or Perth to Culross to participate in the industrial boom (if the Mercers had not been resident here before). It might be interesting to find out more about Mercer's relations to the Bruce family.

In any case Balthasar became an M.P. because he as a member of the aspiring bourgeoises had profited by the economic development. By the way, Sir George Bruce was one of Mercer's predecessors as M.P.: from 1612 to 1625 he represented the Royal Burgh of Culross in five Scottish Parliaments.

[There are many] possible but unproven royal ancestry of Mercers.

He had many times represented King Charles I concerning important Scottish matters, and once he was sent on a mission to Hamburg, where he was decorated with a golden medal of honor. Helena's mother Elizabeth was of noble lineage, born a Kennewy (Kennedy) of Scotland. When political troubles broke out in England in 1664, her father and brother, the court preacher Robert Mercer, since they had been friends of the decapitated king, fled the kingdom with the whole family, fearing Cromwell and his party. They went with all their belongings to Bremen, Germany where they lived on their own means, which was considerable, until Helen's father's death in 1650. He left a widow and three sons and three daughters. One son had gone to India, another to the Canary Islands. Of the daughters, one was married to a merchant named Uckermann at Wanfried in Hesse and the middle daughter, also named Elizabeth, was about to marry Cornelius Lelius, a Calvinist minister. - Kevin Wlaters

b: 1634 Devon, Devonshire, ENG

d: 1653 Devon, ENG

Robert Ridgway, fourth son and youngest child of the second Earl of Londonderry, was the father of Richard the emigrant. He was baptized, August 24, 1631 at Torre Church, County Devon, and as the fourth son and youngest child of an English noble family, his position was of comparatively small consequence. Little of him is known except that he was married during the Protectorate, about the year 1653. He had one son, Richard, whose record follows in generation I of the family in America.

As an old writer calls "Sir Thomas Ridgway, ye Golden Knighte, ye first Earl of Londonderry, ye first of ye Baronets, ye first to plant a Protestant colony in Ireland," so it might be said of his great-grandson, Richard Ridgway, that he was one of the first settlers of the first English town (Crecorne) in the first townships (Falls) in the first county (Bucks) in the province of Pennsylvania, after his arrival; his second child (Richard) being the first child of English parents born in the Province (17th day of 2d month 1680), before the coming of William Penn; and being also the first Justice of the Peace appointed by William Penn (August 4, 1683) and the proprietor of the first public house, hotel or inn (the Crown Inn) in that county ...

The period between the baptism of Robert Ridgway, 24th August, 1631, and the arrival in the Delaware River of his son Richard, 12th September, 1679 - forty-eight years - is veiled in obscurity. several things contributed towards that condition. In the first place, Robert was the fourth and youngest, and therefore the most unimportant son of Robert, the second Earl of Londonderry, who died in 1640, before this son was nine years old; his eldest brother Weston, succeeding to the Earldom, when twenty years of age. Robert married, probably about 1652, and Richard was born about 1653, in which year, 1653, Robert's brother Weston, then thirty-three years old, and three years married, sold the famous family home of Torr Abbey - for reasons which historians regard as most unaccountable - and died in the year 1670, when his son, Robert, became fourth Earl of Londonderry. The period in question was one of great commotion and trouble in England. This Robert was ... thirteen years of age when the people had been preparing for the great uprising, and the storm ... broke out into Revolution and open war, and the battle of Marston was fought; and he was aged fourteen at Maseby, and was married when Cromwell had been in full control of the government for three years after the death of the King; and Robert's son Richard, the emigrant was only about five years old when Cromwell died; and was married when Charles II had been on the throne about fifteen years. The feeling of forthcoming trouble and insecurity was coincident, in its inception with the birth of Robert Ridgway, in 1631. Already had the tide of emigration to the New World set in. Cromwell, then thirty-two years of age, with John Hampden, Pym and others had contemplated going thither, but were prevented by the government. Sir Henry Lawrence, Lord Robert Brooks, and Lord Say and Seal, with their associates, who had obtained a tract of land on the Connecticut River, sent out, in 1638, John Winthrop, Jnr., who had been commissioned by them to be their Governor for the Colony of Connecticut. The same causes which led to that movement, continued to prevail, and increased in energy as the years rolled on, until Robert Ridgeway's son, Richard, in 1679, joined in the Quaker exodus from England. At that time, Richard's father, if living, was forty-eight years old. Born at Torquay, in Devonshire, the family home having been sold in 1653, he may have been one of the soldiers in Cromwell's army, and may possibly have lost his life during the struggle. Alexander Ridgway (in 1884) accounted for Richard Ridgway coming from Berks County, on the theory that his father may have been in the Parliamentary Army and the army having been disbanded in the west of England in 1660, when Robert Ridgeway was twenty-nine years old, and his son Richard about seven years old, would probably account for that branch of the family being settled in that part of the country, possibly instead of returning to Devonshire. Richard, having married Elizabeth Chamberlyn, about 1675, at Marlborough in Wiltshire, he with her and their only child, Thomas, left Welford, in Berkshire and took passage on board the ship "Jacob and Mary" of London, in the summer of the year 1679 ... - James Ridgeway

  • 1658 - William was banished from Boston because of his beliefs. Moved to Rhode Island
  • by 1660 - resided Shresbury, Monmouth Co., NJ

William was banished from th Boston area. He was 'found on the first day of the week at home in the time of public worship, he was sent to the house of correction, and there cruelly whipped, and thus kept at hard labor, the deputy governor appropriating the proceeds of hsi labors to hemself, while his wife and children were in want. At length the had three days'time assigned him to depart that jurisdiction, which he, in regard to his wife and children, was necessitated to accept. Bellingham the deuputy governor having terrified the woman with threats of keeping him still in prison, because he was poor and not able to pay the fine of 5 shillings for his weekly absence from their places of puclice worshkp. Bellingha tried to produce a separtion betwen Shattuck and his wife, under a promise that hs should be banished and heard of no more, and that she and her children should be profided for; but this proposition she spurned and detested. (Shattuck, pg. 366)

William was elected a member of the Assembly of NJ from the town of Shrewsbury in 1675, but declining to swear or take an oath of office as requried, he was not allowed to take the seat.

Declaration of intention of marriage

On the very day that hs sister Martha, accompanied by Joshua Owen, arose in meeting the second time and declared their intentions of marriage (3rd of the 1st month, 1696/97, March 2, 1697) the membership was informed by some busy body that James Shinn and Abigail Lippincott had declared their intention to marry without coming before meeting. A committee was appointed at onece to speak to John Shinn and his good wife, Jane; Restore Lippincott and his good wife, Hannah; and the obstreperous young people, James Shinn, and his fiance, Abigail Lippincott. This incident caused a gret amount of talk throughout the community and led the commitee to probe the matter to the bottom. On the 5th of the 2nd month, 1697, the Church was doubtless crowded to hear the result. The commitee reported that the young people were determined to marry, but not having thier parents' consent they could not pass meeting. Old John Shinn and old Restore Lippincott walked out under a stately beech and began a discussion of the question. Their wives soon joined them, and in a short time peace was restored and parental consent accorded. In the same day James and Abigail delcared their intention to marry before the assembled multitude and were applauded by the younger elements who were in attendance. One maonth later thy appeared the second time and were set at liberty to the Church. The marriage occurred shortly afterwards at the home of Restore Lippincott in the presence of a large assembly of the first people of the community. Shinn, pp. 68-69.

Family Heritage

James Shinn seems to have had very little to do with church affairs and still less with politics. His ambition seemed to be to his land and to enjoy life. He gave large tracts of land to his children, who seemed to have inherited his land desires. Many of them became large land owners in New Jersdy, and some of them became very rich. It was from the line of Thomas that the first migration Southward started in 1750, but the line of James furnished the next mass of adverturous spirits, and his hardy grandchildren soon entered Virginia, spread into West Virginia and were among the first into Ohio, Indiana, and Ilinois. Nearly every Shinn in the Southern states finds his ancestor in Samuel, the son of Thomas, the son of John. Four-fifths of the Shinns in the Northern states from the Atlantic to the Pacific find an ancestor in either Clement or Joseph, sons of James, son of John. Any many of the descendants of Clement, James and Joseph remained in the ancestral homes, filling honorable position and living noble lives. (Shinn, pp. 70-71.)

Family Heritage

John Shinn was reared in the Church of England. By his choice, he became a follower of George Fox and became associated with the "Quakers". He was subsequently persecuted and imprissoned in Hertfordshire, England.

On 18 Sep 1860, John bought of Wiliam Emly, one of the West Jersey commissioners, 1/15th of one of the 100 shares of West Jersey. At the meeting of 24 June 1864 of the proprietors and freeholders of West Jersey a listing was made of the holdings by the 89 freeholders: 1 had 1,000 acres, 12 had 450 - 650 acres, 8 had 400 acres and 68 had 50 - 350 acres. John Shinn had 400 acres.

John and his family immigrated to West Jersy about the ship "Kent" in 1677.

On a balmy day in early summer of 1677, the ship "Kent" sailed from London, with Gidfrey Marlow as master, toward the new Province of West Jersy. As they passed the royal barge on their way down the Thames, they received a lighty flung blessing from the careless King Charles II, whose indifference to their welfare at home drove them from their native lands.

In that far-off day an overseas adventure was not a slight undertaking. The voyage was long, tedious and comfortless. Their first view of the Westrn world was the harbor of Ne Yourk. They had turned aside in ther jouirne to inform the lately appointed Governo of New York, Sir Edmund Andros, of thier purpose.(Schermerhorn, pg. 14)

On the 16th day of August hey arrived at New-Castle. It was late in the month when the 'Kent' sailed up the Delaware River to Racoon Creek in West Jersy. A definite location for their permanent settlement had not been determined upon, and the twohundred and thirty patient, God-fearing, and liberty-loving people disembarked at a settlement of Swedes. The Swedes had some scattering habitations; but they were too numerous to be all provided for in houses; some were obliged to lay their beds and furntiure in cow stalls, and appartment of that sort; among other inconveniences to which this exposed them, the snakes were now plenty enough to be frequently seen upon the hovels under which they sheltered (Boyer, pg 218)

The passengers from the ship, called Quakers, some of good estates in England, then obtained help from the Swedes for interpreters between them and the indians to purchase land. Eventually, a location was determined for their settlement and a town was laid out by mutual consent. The commissions named the town New-Beverly, then Bridlington, but soon it changed to Burlington.

John and Jane were very active with the Society of Frindes. They assisted in the founding of the first meeting in Burlington. They were members of the Burlington Monthly Meeting of Friends. John was often an representative at the Quarterly meetrings.

In 1695 John was appointed to head the undraising for a new Meeting House in Upper Springfield. As of 5 Apr 1699 the minutes of the Monthly Meeting states that "John Shinn and John Day reported that the Springfield Meeting House was done. " Thereafter, "the removing of the Springfield Meeting from John Shinn's to the New Meeting House was on the 24th of the 3rd month 1699."

"John Shinn filled many positions of trust and responsibility in the community. He was known as a man of thrift, yet always ready to help those in need with his money. John was esteemed by all who knew him."

At the time of his death, John's posessions included a bolting mill.

"In 1775 Solomon bought of William Hendrickson four hundred and fifty-five acres of land in Upper Freehold, Monmouth County, NJ which he deeded in equal shares in 1777 to his sons, James and Thomas. Thomas build a house upon his land and removed thereto. He bought adjoining tracts, until he was teh owner of about eight hundred acres of land. He retained his membership in hte Upper Springfield Meeting of Friends, and seems to have been an active member. He was frequently placed on important committees and sent to Quarterly Meeing. In 1798 he was placed on a committee to "draw a line for the government of preparative meetings with regard to permitting the interments of those not in membership with Friends in their burying ground." Stong drink was then, as now, a great drawback to the church. In 1799 Thomas and Caleb Shinn, brothers, were added to the standing cmmittee on spirituous liquors. " Shinn pg 122
