THE LIFE

OF

WILLIAM PENN.

CHAPTER I.

William Penn-his origin or lineal descent-as collected from published accounts.

WILLIAM PENN was descended from an ancient family, respectable both in point of character and independence as early as the first public records notice it. The following is a concise account of his origin:

Among his early ancestors were those of the same name, who were living, between four and five centuries ago, at the village of Penn in Buckinghamshire. Further traces of this family are to be found in Penlands, Pen-street, Pen-house, Pen-wood, all of them the names of places in the same county.
