*** FACTOID WARNING : I
have no verification of this man, only numerous mentions Child of THOMAS HEALD is: 2. i. WILLIAM2 HEALD, b. Abt. 1585, Of Pownall Fee, Cheshire, England.
2. WILLIAM2
HEALD (THOMAS1)3 was born Abt. 1585 in Of
Pownall Fee, Cheshire, England3,4. He married ALICE STRETTELL5
Feb 1618 in Notes for WILLIAM HEALD: GENEALOGY IN PRINT - BOOKS
AND LIBRARY COLLECTIONS From JV Hollingsworth
Collection, Chester Co, PA, letter dated Apr 26, 1973, from Harry Hollingsworth: This William's death is about 10 years before others say our William married. _________________________________ MISC NOTES / QUESTIONS/ FOLLOWUP THE DATA FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HEALDS IN THIS GENEALOGY IS SUSPECT. PRIMARY SOURCES ARE HARD TO COME BY AND ON-LINE GENEALOGIES HAVE NUMEROUS DIFFERENCES. HOBSON IS ROBSON, STEWARD IS STEWART, THOMAS HEALD IS BORN WHEN HIS FATHER IS 101 YEARS OLD, SOME ADD AN ENTIRE GENERATION OTHERS DON'T HAVE. A PENNSYLVANIA BOOK OF BIRTHS LISTS SAMUEL HEALD BORN IN PA IN 1668, WHEN MOST GENEALOGISTS SHOW THE HEALDS ARRIVED IN AMERICA IN 1703. THERE IS MUCH TO BE DONE TO CLARIFY AND DEBUG THE FAMILY HISTORY.
PUBLIC RECORDS From a transcript of the burial records from the Quaker burial ground at Mobberley, we can see that the spelling of Strettell is correct. There are four listings by that name in Mobberley, but none by any other spelling. ___________________________________ OTHER RESEARCHERS Debye (Debye@aol.com) says
Alice married in Mobberley in 1618. This date seems too late. Look at Karen
Gerlach info. Cheshire Roots-L April 2001:
From: lyn@marbury.u-net.com (Mrs Lyn McCulloch) __________________________________ NEED TO SORT AND MOVE These Strettells are probably
related to Alice, but I do not know how: His father, Amos Strettell, descended from a respectable Cheshire family, was born 12 Mo (Feb) 24, 1657, at Saltersley, in Mobberly, Cheshire, and removed to Dublin in 1 Mo (March) 1678-9, where he was married to Anne, daughter of Roger and Mary Roberts, of Dublin. ... Amos Strettell made a purchase of 5,000 acres of land in Pennsylvania, but there is no evidence to show that he ever came to this country; he also held large tracts of land in New Jersey ... About 1716, Robert Strettell went to London and engaged in trade, but losing a large amount of money in the South Sea Bubble, he decided to remove to Pennsylvania. A certificate of removal, dated 11 Mo 26, 1736, for himself and family, from Friends' Meeting at Horslydowne, Southwark, was received by Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, 4 Mo. 24, 1737. .... Cook cites "Keith's Provincial Councillors of Pennsylvania, 196-208; also entries from Strettell family Bible in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, III, 212, 2d Series, London, 1890, and Penn'a Mag., I, 241, II., 114-115." Cook writes that Amos Strettell's father was Hugh Strettell, son of Thomas Strettell (of Balkley, born 1598, died Aug. 1657) and his wife, Margaret Graffitt (of Alderley, married 1619). Hugh was born 1622, and was married to Mary Hulme, daughter of Francis Hulme. Hugh and Mary Strettell became members of the Society of Friends and resided at Saltersley, Cheshire; he died 7 Mo. 5, 1671 and she died 7 Mo. 11, 1662; buried in Friends' ground at Mobberly. Children of Amos and Experience Strettell: Robert, b. 10 Mo 25, 1693; Anne, b. 12 Mo. 23, 1694-5; Amos, b. 4 Mo. 1, 1696; d. 11 Mo. 30, 1712; Elizabeth, b. 7 Mo. 25, 1697; Thomas, b. 7 Mo. 13, 1699; Ebenezer, b. 12 Mo. 27, 1700, d. 3 Mo., 1703; Jacob, b. 3 Mo. 5, 1702, died 11 Mo., 1703-4; Experience, b. 5 Mo. 23, 1704, d. 4 Mo. 26, 1705; Lydia, b. 6 Mo. 28, 1706; Benjamin, b. 9 Mo. 1, 1707, d. 10 Mo. 21, 1708. (Book has more about Elizabeth and her husband, Robert Cuppage on page 264 and more about Robert and family on following pages) Children of WILLIAM HEALD and ALICE STRETTELL are:

About JOHN HEALD: Generation No. 3 3. THOMAS3 HEALD (WILLIAM2, THOMAS1)10,11 was born Abt. 1620 in Mobberley, Cheshire, England11,12, and died Abt. 23 Nov 1699 in Mobberley, Cheshire, England13,13,14. He married ELIZABETH HOBSON15,16,17 02 Feb 1641 in Mobberley, Cheshire, England18,19, daughter of WILLIAM HOBSON and ELIZABETH (HOBSON). She was born 1624 in Mobberley, Cheshire, England20, and died 10 May 1664 in Mobberley, Cheshire, England21,22,23. Notes for THOMAS HEALD: From Dr. Pusey Heald collection, Delaware Historical Society: "It is reasonably certain from the English records that Thomas Heald and Elizabeth Hobson Heald of Mobberley, Cheshire, England, married 1641, belonged to the Society of Friends, that they had several children, the only one after the beginning of the Friends' records being James Heald, b 1658." Also from Heald collection: transcribed list of Healds who died, by Hoyland, shows Thomasin Heald died Jan 21, 1703, that he was of Mobberley and was buried in Mobberley. RG6 Quaker Burial Records show Thomas Healds died and were buried in Quaker Burial Grounds, Mobberley, Jan 16, 1703, Jan 23, 1699, Dec 1686. A Thomasen Heald was buried 23 March 1703/4. _____________________ Some insert another Thomas Heald between this Thomas and William. They say he was born December 6, 1601 and that parents were married same year. They say he died June, 1645. His wife is said to have been Elizabeth _____?? __________________________ The Dr. Pusey Heald files speculate that Thomas was the son of William Heald, gentleman and member of the established Anglican church. This William married in 1615. Thomas may have been disowned for becoming a Friend. _________________ Debye@aol.com shows Thomas born April 1622 in Mobberley, died Nov 23, 1699, per Hollingsworth Register, vol 9, #2. He is buried in Mobberley Burial Ground, Cheshire, Eng. Others says Thomas died 2-26-1735/36. ____________ More About THOMAS HEALD: Burial: 26 Nov 1699, Mobberley, Cheshire Co., England24 Notes for ELIZABETH HOBSON: RG6/1037 & RG6/1603 - show an
Elizabeth Hobson, who died July 6, 1674. She was the wife of William of
Mobberley. William who? Could this be Elizabeth Hobson
Heald's mother? These Quaker records show 12 Hobsons buried in Mobberley, but
not a single Robson. This would tend to confirm that Elizabeth is a Hobson, not
a Robson. RG6/1037 lists Elizabeth Heild, wife of Thomas of Mobberley, died 10 July 1664. ______________ RG6/1037 shows William Hobson of Mobberley died July 27, 1676. His wife, Elizabeth, died July 6, 1674. ------------------ There are a number of Quaker Hobsons from Ireland, as per Immigration of the Irish, by Cook.

was born Abt. 10 Jan 1646 in Mobberley, Cheshire, England51,
and PUBLIC RECORDS Chester, England, records show a William as a bondsman, 1606. Another is a Gentleman, 1609. In 1615 a William is issued a marriage license to Elizabeth Shaw of Mobberley. There is a record of this couple in the Mobberley Monthly Meeting, England. __________________________________ GENEALOGY IN PRINT - BOOKS AND LIBRARY COLLECTIONS Note from The Ancestors and Descendants of Henry Patrick and Mary Sansom Heald, DE Historical Society: "Nothing more is known of this couple except there is a record of this family in the Minutes of Mobberly Monthly Meeting. Since William and Jane Heald died within a few days of each other, some ravishing disease or epidemic may have claimed them. It is not known who reared their minor children." William's father, Thomas, was still living in Mobberley when William died, according to Deaths of Healds list by Hoyland. A book of PA birth records shows their son, Samuel, being born in Chester Co. PA, in 1668, which is 34 years before the writers of the Jacob and Martha book believe they were in America. Every other Heald record shows Samuel and Mary Bancroft being born in England. Only the book of abstracts shows them born in the U.S. The book of abstracts must be incorrect. From the Dr. Pusey Heald collection, Delaware Historical Society, two typewritten pages of information from letters by a Heald researcher who went to England, then reported his findings to Dr. Heald: "So far as we can trace the Heald line with certainty, they were Protestants in the true sense of the word, for they protested against an established church, whether Roman or Anglican. They were members of the Society of Friends, or, as commonly known, Quakers, being members of that body almost from its inception. "The immigrant ancestor, Samuel Heald and his wife Mary (Bancroft), came to America in 1703 from Cheshire (or Chester County) England, and settled in Chester County, Pa., about twenty years after the first Quaker exodus to Pennsylvania. "The preservation of many of the Heald records is due to the faithfulness with which, since about 1650, the Society of Friends has kept records of births, marriages and burials of its membership. When records have been wanting, it has been because some members of the family departed from the discipline of the Society. "In the records preserved at the Yearly Meeting, London (Devonshire House, Bishopsgate, E.C.), beginning about 1650, and continuing until 1703, the following Healds of Mobberley are found ... (see photocopied record for list, which is also incorporated in this genealogy)." __________________________________ MISC NOTES / QUESTIONS/ FOLLOWUP Who is this in FTM CD 354?:

They brought a certificate to Philadelphia from the monthly meeting at Morley, in Cheshire, dated 10-3-1702. They settled in what is now Pennsbury Township, on the Brandywine, Chester Co., PA, where Samuel died in 1736. They had eight children (which are named [other records show 10 children-GW]). Bancroft is not named in Bi-Centennial of Old Kennett nor is Samuel Jr. From the Jacob and Martha Harvey Hale book:"Yeoman, Friend." The family came to America in 1703 , bringing with them a certificate from "Monthly Meeting held at Morley, Co. of Chester, England to Friends in Philadelphia," bearing the date of 10-2-1702. In this certificate it is noted that they 'were born of believing parents.' The Healds settled on the Brandywine in what is now Pennsbury Tp, Chester Co, PA. They lived there until death. Both Samuel and Jane are buried in 'Old Kennet' Burial Ground." (Lyford & his wife visited Kennett Oct. 1999. Went inside the MM House and walked the cemetery. The older grave markers are gone. The earliest were stones with initials on them. We did not find Samuel or Jane.) JV Hollingsworth Library Collection: John Heald, brother of Sam I, Valentine Hollingsworth and Sam I lived close to each other. Both Sam and John were members of Kennett MM. John was the most active. RELATIVES In 1732 Samuel I was living on the plantation of Aaron Harlan, his son-in-law. See the Aaron Harlan notes. __________________________________ OTHER RESEARCHERS According to William R. Heald (oldgaga@aol.com), Samuel was left an orphan when 9 years old. He was about 23 and a farmer when he married Mary. Mr. Heald poses the question of whether the Healds arrived in Dec 1703 (Feb 1704 new time) with William Penn, Jr? __________________________________ MISC NOTES / QUESTIONS/ FOLLOWUP

PUBLIC RECORDS Microfilm file of Kennett Square MM for 1747 and 1748 shows the leaders attempting to deal with Samuel Heald, who they said was "drinking to excess" and not attending meetings. After several requests that Sam come answer to the Meeting, which were not answered, in 1748 he was disowned. He died the same year, so it does not appear that he reconciled. It also appears that the next two Sams were not in the Quaker church. Sam III was married in Old Swedes Church. The marriage record for Sam IV has not been located. Sam IV's son, Harlen, was not a Quaker at the time of his marriage, but was received by the Back Creek MM meeting 10 years after his marriage. Wills of Chester Co, PA 1748-1766, page 5, shows that when Samuel Heald died, his wife, Rachel, was appointed administrator. This was done on 5-16-1748. ___________________________________ GENEALOGY IN PRINT - BOOKS AND LIBRARY COLLECTIONS
Dr. Pusey Heald records from London Quaker
records show Samuel born in Mobberley. PA births abstracts book shows him born
in PA. OTHER RESEARCHERS William R. Heald says Samuel and Rachel married 28 Mar 1727. __________________________________ MISC NOTES / QUESTIONS/ FOLLOWUP Abstracts from PA Gazette 1748-1755, p194: "Land near Christiana Bridge, late belonging to Samuel Hale, to be sold by David Finney at Newcastle (14 Sept)" P 222: "27 Mar 1752, Tract of land late belonging to Samuel Hale, about 2 1/2 miles from Christiana Bridge, for sale by David Finney." This Samuel is a Hale cousin as per Delaware Historical Society records. Franklin's PA Gazette lists 1731 and 1734 Samuel Hale of PA, potter. In latter case, he's looking for a runaway servant. -- LH. In 1740 Ben Franklin prints and sells Sir Matthew Hale's "Sum of Religion & Some Observations on the Rev. Mr. Whitefield and His Opposers." There are many HALES in PA in early and middle 1700's. Book, "Descendants of Thomas Hale of Delaware," by Thomas Hale Streets lists Hales in Delaware in 1780's & 90's. Can't find a connection to this line, but childrens' names include William, Samuel, Joseph and Mathilda.
Book in Santa Clara Library, "Hale, House and
Related Families", lists large number of Hales in Delaware, but says they came
from Maryland and New England. Shows no relationship to our Heald/Hales. "Hale, House and
Related Families" lists Jacob and Isaac, twins born in New England 1762. Our
line also includes twins. __________________________________
