| Notes |
- Richard Lundy I immigrated from Bristol, England on a ship captained by Mr. William Browne in August of 1676 landing in Boston, England. He lived in Boston until May 19, 1682, when he sailed down the Delaware River and settled in Bucks Consylvania As of 1688, he owned 1000 acres of land in Buckingham township "confirmed" on him by William Penn.
He married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth Bennet, died just three years after their marriage without having born Richard any children that can be verified. There is a slight chance that a John Lundy listed in the area could have been a son by this marriage.
His second wife, Jane Lyon, was a 16 year old orphan when she came over with the James Harrison and Phineas Pemberton families of Bolton, Lancaster Co., England in 1682 on the ship, SUBMISSION. This ship sailed on the 5th of the 7th month, 1682 and arrived in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland on the 21st of the 9th month, 1682. Due to a homestead law of this colony, she was given 50 acres of land which her husband later applied for on Mar. 18, 1717-1718.
Although Richard owned extensive property in Buckingham Twp., it appears that he lived in Falls Township from 1693-1701, due to the many references to him in the Falls Monthly Meeting Records during that period. The last reference to him in Quaker records reveals much. He presented a certificate of membership to the Exeter Monthly Meeting in Berks Co., PA on Nov. 24, 1737. His wife, not being mentioned, had probably passed away. He likely died within a year at Berks Co., PA as he did not witness the marriage of his grandson in 1739 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-256,C-257)
According to a cousin DNA match at ancestry known as Terri S. Hayden, Richard was born on 4 Dec 1654, Axminster, Devon, England instead. He is still listed as a son of Sylvester with this alternate birthdate.
