Francis emigrated to Guilford, CT with the Kent and Sussex Co. followers of Rev. Henry Whitfield. He and his brothers were among the few listed as "Mr. and Gentleman" in Guilford's founding history. When Guilford and New Haven voted to join their plantations, Francis opposed it. He was brought to court before the magistrates and deputies on Aug. 14, 1645 because of this. He died unmarried two years later and his estate went to brothers, Thomas and George Chatfield. He apparently was buried in a Cathedral back in England after his death. (C-1420, 1453)

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 killed thirty 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)

Miriam married Henry SHORT about 1662. Henry (son of Henry (Henrie) SHORT, Sr. and Elizabeth BRIDHAM) was born about 1647 in Walberton, Sussex, ENG; was christened on 9 May 1647 in Walberton, Sussex, ENG; died about 1669 in Ford, Sussex, ENG. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Isaac's will mentions the children of his sister, Miriam. They were Adam, Miriam and Ann. He is listed as the son of Abell Ingram and Miriam Chatfield in a source found by Gary Hawley. Isaac died a few days after his sister, Miriam while on the ship, Welcome, enroute to America. His will is on file in Philadelphia. Part of it is transcribed here: "vpon the twenty sixt day of ye seauenth month one thousand six eighty & two. I Issaak Ingram late of Garton [sic] late of Surrey yeoman, Being weake of body yet of perfect mind and memory doe make this my last will and testament on board the wellcome Robt Greenaway Mr. bound for Pensilvania (viz) as foll.

" (C-1201, 1419, 1420, 1428)

Notes:

G. Ingram, brother, is listed as the guardian of Miriam Ingram Short's children after her death in 1682.

Notes:

Ann and Joel Bayley were listed in the closest kin's column when they attended the marriage of her sister, Miriam Short White to Aaron Coppock in 1704. (E)

Ann married Joel (Bayly) BAILY on 11 Feb 1687 in Chichester, Chester, PA, USA. Joel was born in in Of Wiltshire, England; died in 1732 in West Marlborough, Chester, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She was a passenger on the ship "Welcome" that came to Pennsylvania from Aug.-Oct. 1682. Her mother and uncle, Isaac, both died on board in the smallpox epidemic. She and her siblings came under the care of her mother's bother, G. Ingram. (C-253b, 1427) She was married shortly thereafter to George Thompson by a Swedish priest. George as well as the clergyman who performed the ceremony were taken to court for violating the laws of the Province (possibly because she was with child?). Thompson appeared in court on Feb. 14, 1682/3 and the charges were dismissed as no one came to accuse him. It appears that Thompson left Miriam, as she was in the town records on Nov. 6, 1684 as needing public assistance for herself and child (Ralph Thomson). In some sources it assumes he dies before she marries again. However, this George Thompson seems to be the same Thompson that was listed as a married man in church records in 1698. There is a descendant of a Joshua Thompson, b. 1696 in this area named Lew Chaplick that believes that Joshua is a son or grandson of George Thompson, possibly through Miriam Short. She next married William White of New Castle Co. He was a Wheelwright. He died in 1703 and left her widowed with three additional children.

Her last husband was Aaron Coppock. (C-1210) They had declared their intention to marry on 7/11 and 9/13/1704 in Concord MM. She probably is the Miriam Coppock who witnessed the marriages of John, her son, and Margaret Coulson Coppock in 1731; John Harris and Phebe Beeson, 1731, and William White, her grandson, and Sarah Pugh in 1743 in East and West Nottingham Monthly Meetings held in Cecil Co., Maryland, just over the border from Townships of this same name in Pennsylvania. (C-1302)

A supposed source by Cope entitled "Baily Family", states that this Short family's origin was in Garton, Surrey, (ENG). (C-1427)

Family/Spouse: George THOMPSON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Miriam married Aaron COPPOCK in 30th da 9th mo 1704 in Chichester M.M., Chester, PA.

Notes:

Adam was one of the last surviving immigrants who came on the "Welcome" in 1682. In 1693 he sued Tomas Wynne, who died during the process. He had a survey of his land near Christiana Creek made on Oct. 31, 1719. He was called to testify on behalf of Lord Baltimore when the Maryland boundaries were being decided in court. At an estimated date of 1731, Adam stated that his age was 78 at the time and recalled questions pertaining to 1682, 1684 and 1685. He supposedly lived for 49 years in New Castle Co., (Del or MD) If his birthday of 1666 is correct, then the amount of time he had lived in Delaware or his birth date is incorrect in his account to Lord Baltimore as these figures give us his estimated birth date at 1653. (C-1210, 1428)

Adam married Martha UNKNOWN about 1712. Martha died in 1751 in , New Castle, DE, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
