• Notes

  Miriam is called Marian in her daughter Mary's baptismal certificate. She died enroute to the Americas on the "Welcome", a few days before her brother, Ingram. This was William Penn's first expedition to Pennsylvania. Small Pox killedy out of 100 passengers on board. Her three children on board went under the care of her brother, G. Ingram. (C-1419, 1420, 1427, 1428, 1435, 1583) Miriam is also listed in John Ingram's will dated 1658. Though the relationship was not stated, from the pattern in the will, it is likely that she was his niece. When relationships were stated in John's will, they were daughters of his brothers. (C-1590)
