William Penn (1644-1718) was an English writer, religious thinker, and influential Quaker who founded the Providence of Pennsylvania during the British colonial era. Penn, an advocate for democracy and religious freedom, was known for his amicable relations and successful treaties with the Lenape Native Americans who had resided in present-day Pennsylvania prior to European settlements. Benjamin Ferris (1780-1867) was a watchmaker and historian from Wilmington, Delaware. Ferris was born sixth of seventh children to Ziba Ferris (1743-1794) and Edith Sharpless (1742-1815) in a house on the northeast corner of Third and Shipley Streets in Wilmington. He was a descendant of Samuel Ferris, who had come from Reading, England, in 1682 to settle at Groton, Massachusetts, and of John Ferris, who was among the first settlers in the city of Wilmington in 1748. As a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Ferris was a proponent of the views of Elias Hicks, claiming "obedience to the light within" as sufficient for salvation, and publishing a debate with an evangelical minister which contributed to a schism in 1827. In 1839, Ferris was appointed to a committee of the Yearly Meeting of Friends of New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, to investigate wrongdoings against Seneca Indians. Although the treaty he recommended was ultimately rejected by the Senate, he was successful in brokering a deal which resulted in about half their land being restored to them. Ferris was a true "renaissance man," ambitious, self-educated, well-versed in the classics; a watchmaker, surveyor & finally historian. David Ferris (1707-1779), London Yearly Meeting extracts were found with his documents, was a third generation member of the Ferris family, son to Zachariah and Sarah Ferris. His parents were Presbyterian and it was noted his mother was "religiously deposed." In August 1733, he moved to Philadelphia where he joined the Society of Friends having previously attended their meeting on Long Island "to discover whether they were living people or not." He married Mary Massey in 1735. In 1737, his family moved to Wilmington, Delaware, where he would remain for the balance of his life. David was a shopkeeper & his first efforts as a minister were recorded in 1735, but it was not until 1755 that he primarily devoted himself to the ministry with took him throughout America. Benjamin, most likely, came to own this work and the manuscript notes from his ancestor David. David and Benjamin were a generation apart, and David died the year before Benjamin was born. However, they are a part of the same family line that first settled in Wilmington, Delaware. RAREA1771ITVQ 04/25 - HK1406.…
