_______________________________________
This pedigree of the Ridgway family is given by the Rev Edward Coolbaugh Hoagland,
in his book published in 1958: "Twigs from Family Trees, Notes on the Ridgway
Families of Bradford County, PA, Descendants of David, Richard, Robert and Burr
Ridgway Pioneers"
He states about the ancestors of the American Ridgway family: 'Ridgway and Ridgeway
are of local origin, from the residence at "the ridge-way" or the road over
the back of the hill. In the earliest records this name was written "Rydeware".
The accounts of this ancient family have been written by various historians,
but in the "Ridgway Family Manuscript" by James Ridgeway, to be found in the
Long Island, NY Historical Society is the following: the pedigree of the family
is best given by Sir Thomas de Rydeware in the "Chartulary" prepared by him
at great length in 1308, and which was published in the "History and Antiquity
of Leicester" by John Nicholas, vol. III, part 2, pp. 983,984,999-1007,979,
994, and which we have followed as the basis of this history down to the children
of Sir Thomas de Rydeware.
A less extensive but similar pedigree appears in Glover's "History of Derby".
Sir Thomas de Rydeware carried his pedigree back to Asser, in the time of the
Conquest. The earliest account of the family extant is that which is given by
the great antiquarian authority Sir William Dugdale, in his "Baronage of England"
under the title of Earls of Chester; and also in his famous work the "Honastician
Angelicantum". There he gives a record of Leofric I who signs himself Earl of
Leicester in the year 716 (the first who bore that title) and who was also Earl
of Chester; and a record also of Leofric's descendants and successors to those
earldoms continuously down to Eadwyne, at the time of the Conquest, and who
was grandson of the renowned Leofric III and Godiva his wife, Countess of Coventry,
which Leofric was son of Leofwine; who, from Leofwine to Eadwyne, were, for
four generations, Dukes of Mercia, in addition to their earlier titles of Earls
of Leicester, Chester, etc.
Those who wish for further information on many of the intermarrying lines down
through the generations should be pleased to refer to the compiler's companion
volume, "162 Allied Families" pp. 5-34, 82, 83 etc.'

98. POSTREMA SHINN (4).--THOMAS (3), THOMAS (2), JOHN (1).
Postrema, the ninth child and fifth daughter of Thomas and Martha (Earl) Shinn,
was born 1/6/1744. She was married to John Ridgway, Surveyor General of New
Jersey, in 1764. William John Potts, of Camden, N. J., in Vol. 17, "Pennsylvania
Mag. of Hist. and Biog.," page 381, says:
"The writer is acquainted with the various outline genealogies of the Ridgway
family, as given by Major E. M. Woodard, and the fragmentary account by Mr.
Edwin Salter, as well as the unpublished manuscript pedigree of the late Gideon
De la Plaine Scull, which gave the descent of the Scully, Ridgway and other
families from the De la Plaines and De Bellange families, as far as could be
ascertained. That there were several intermarriages between these old Huguenot
names, De la Plaine and De Bellange, and the Ridgways is certain. The Bible
record of one family (Ridgway) is here given, in the earnest hope that some
one will make the affiliation with the earlier members." 1John Ridgway died
3/4/1809, and his wife, Postrema, died 9/23/1831.
Children of John and Postrema (Shinn) Ridgway.
310. 1. Thomas Ridgway, b. 8/17/1761; ob. sine proll, 9/14/1761.
311. 2. John Ridgway, b. 12/20/1762; m. Elizabeth Wright.

22. THOMAS SHINN (3).--THOMAS (2), JOHN (1).
Thomas Shinn, son of Thomas and Mary (Stockton) Shinn and grandson of John,
the immigrant, has his birth recorded in the Record of Births and Deaths of
Burlington Monthly Meeting as having occurred on the 6th of the 11th month,
1694. The same record places his father's death in this wise: "Thomas Shinn
lay down this life the (???) of the 9th month, called November, 1695." We have
seen what disposition the father made of his estate by will, and have noted
the final disposition of the estate by Mary (Stockton) Shinn in 1697, when she
married Silas Crispin of Philadelphia. In the will and deed of trust Thomas
is mentioned as a son of Thomas and Mary, and the will shows that Thomas was
the elder of the two boys.
The subject of our sketch was born and lived throughout the greater part of
his life in Springfield Township, Burlington County. Whether he lived with his
mother after her marriage to Silas Crispin is not known, and we next meet him
in authentic history on the 1st of the 10th month, 1718, when he and Martha
Earl declared their intentions of marriage at Burlington Meeting. On the 5th
of the 11th month, 1718, the minutes show that he and Martha appeared the second
time, and were given liberty to proceed. Shortly after this the marriage occurred.
The marriage certificate or record shows that Thomas Shinn, son of Thomas, and
Martha, daughter of William Earl,1 were married at the house of William Earl
in Springfield Township, on the 22nd day of the 11th month, 1718. It was witnessed
by the mother of Thomas, Mary Ridgway, she having married Richard Ridgway after
the death of Silas Crispin; by William and Elizabeth Earl, parents of Martha;
by John, James and Abigail, his uncles and aunts; by Samuel and Sarah Shinn,
his brother and his wife; by George and Levi Shinn, his cousins, and by twenty
others. The bride was born in Portsmouth, L. I., but had lived in Springfield
Township about all her life. The affair was one of considerable importance and
was attended by some of the first people of the County. The solemn Quaker who
was appointed by Burlington Meeting to attend reported back on the 12th of the
2nd month, 1718, that "These friends that are under our care and conduct are
pretty orderly." The young people had successfully passed the committee report
upon the declaration of intention, and likewise the Argus-eyed committee on
marriage, and were now ready to settle down to practical life. The possessions
of Thomas were in Springfield Township and there he began his career. For eighteen
years he is covered by an envelope of impenetrable obscurity, save for an occasional
transfer of land which confronts us on the deed records at Trenton. In 1736
he was put on a committee to supervise a marriage, and on the same day was sent
to Quarterly Meeting. The inference is that he had lived an honest Christian
life and that now in his forty-first year he had gained the confidence of his
brethren. About this time he removed to Mt. Holly in Northampton Township,1
and on the 1st of the 6th month he was made an elder by the Burlington meeting.
In 1748 he was made one of the Trustees to hold the Mt. Holly Meeting House
property. In Vol. III. of the Burlington Minutes among the first items is placed
a list of Ministers and Elders who have died since 1720. In this list we have
the last notice of Thomas Shinn. He is ranked as an elder, and his death recorded
as of date the 27th of the 2nd month, 1753, in the 58th year of his life. It
was really the 59th year, but one cannot quarrel with venerable records and
escape unscathed.
If we had nothing but the simple record of this man's life as given by the scribes
of Burlington Monthly Meeting of Friends, we should ascribe to him qualities.

1"The family of Earls, who now are and for several generations have been Lords
of Heydon Manor, is of great antiquity, and had its origin in the adjacent town
of
Salle, which is very remarkable for giving rise to three of the ancient families
of
Norfolk County, England, viz.: Fountaine, Briggs and Earl." Bloomfield's History
of Norfolk, Vol. III, p. 531. "Its greatest name was Erasmus Earl, baptized
September
20, 1590, died September 7, 1667. He graduated from three schools and practically
monopolized the law business of Norfolk; was secretary for the English at the
treaty of Uxbridge; was granted the degree Serjeant at Law; was successively
Steward
and Recorder of Norwich; was of Commission of Oyer and Terminer to Norwich and
afterwards to York; was a member of the Long Parliament from Norwich; was
Private Serjeant to Oliver Cromwell and afterwards to Richard and was Serjeant
to
the Commonwealth. He was pardoned by Charles H, again granted the degree Serjeant
at Law and continued in great reputation to the end of his days. He is buried
in the East Chapel of the North Isle under an exceedingly large tomb, over which
is the mural monument with his arms and a long inscription." Bloomfield, Vol.
II,
p. 531.
It is a tradition in the New Jersey family that it sprang from Norfolk County,
but
the author of "Ralph Earl and His Descendants" holds that it is a tradition
in the
Massachusetts family that it sprang from Somerset County, near Exeter. William
Earl of Springfield Township, N. J., was a grandson of Ralph Earle of Taunton,
Mass.
William was a ship owner and carried on a trade for many years between Massachusetts
and New Jersey. In 1697 he removed to New Jersey and purchased land in Springfield
Township, upon which he lived until his death. One of his first acts after his
change of residence was to change the spelling of his name by dropping the finale,
a change which his descendants have respected and followed for more than two
centuries.
Whether Ralph Earle migrated from Norfolk or Somerset is a matter of little
consequence. The Earles in England now have a habitat in nearly all of its southern
counties and run back into time when the Saxons were masters of the land.
William was a Quaker and never had much respect for Massachusetts, his birthplace,
on account of its narrow religious spirit.

England - Submitted By: Lorna Borman <http://www.footprints.org/8-100198.html>
Richard Ridgway {RIN# 4673} (The Ancestry of Mary Ridgeway) :
According to the "Book of Arrivals" for Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Richard
Ridgway and Elizabeth (Chamberlain), his wife, of Welford in the County of Berks
(Berkshire), England, Taylor (tailor), arrived in the Delaware River in the
ship, Jacob and Mary, from London on the 12th day 7th month 1679, with their
son, Thomas. The ship's master was Richard Moore.
The "Book of Arrivals" was prepared in 1684 under Pennsylvania law requiring
registration of all residents. The data is considered to be very accurate.
The Jacob and Mary probably landed its passengers near Burlington, a few miles
below the falls in the river. Richard's first home was on 218 acres at the Delaware
River Falls on the Pennsylvania shore just opposite the east end of Biles Island.
He sold the land to Daniel Gardner and John Luff, Jan 2, 1681, moving to a new
tract about two miles upstream, in or near what is now Morrisville, opposite
modernday Trenton. The locality of these two homesites was then known as Crewcorne
(variously spelled), named by William Penn whose estate was adjoining.
The records show that Richard was quite active in the affairs of the community
while living at the falls. He joined with other settlers at the Falls in signing
petitions April 12 and Sep 13, 1680, to the Governor of New Yorke "finding ourselves
aggrieved by ye Indians when drunk, informeth, that wee be and have been in
great danger of our lives, of our houses burning, of our goods stealing, and
of our wives and children affrighting...." The principal offender was Gilvert
Wheeler at whose house, they claimed, the indians obtained their liquor and
made themselves drunk, revel and fight together, come furiously and break our
fences, steal our corn, break our windows and doors, carry away our goods and
worry three of our cattle in one day with their dogs. (Ref: New York Colonial
Manuscripts, Vol XII, pp , Ferrow, 1877.)
Richard registered his private cattle mark in the "Ear Mark Book" of Bucks County,
now in the county historical society collection. These marks were necessary
for locating ones strays due to the lack of fencing at the time.
After William Penn's arrival, a license system was adopted which made selling
of strong drink to the Indians a crime. An entry in the minutes of the Council
of Philadelphia, Feb 3, 1686, reads: " Report being made by ye members of Bucks
County, that Richard Ridgway is a fitt person for ye keeping of an ordinary
in ye County, a Lycense accordingly." His establishment was called Crown Inn.
In the Records of the Courts of Quarter Sessions and Commin Pleas and other
records of Bucks County, we learn that Richard served as a juror in 1681, 1685,
1686; a jury foreman in 1688; as attorney for defendants in 1686, 1687; an estate
appraiser in 1687; witnessed a will; made an estate inventory; served as a "Viewer
of fences from ye falls to ye Governor's Mansion" in 1686; and served as witness
on several occasions. His wife, Elizabeth, appeared as a witness several times
and her mother, Elizabeth Hickman, appeared at least once.
An interesting sidelight appears in the minutes for the Falls Monthly Meeting
of Friends, 4th day 10th mo. 1689: Elizabeth, wife of Richard Ridgway, hath
fought with her neighbor Chorley's wife, and women friends have spoken with
her and that they find her stubborn, wilful and obstinate and that she justifies
the act. Therefore it is agreed that for the present the meeting be removed
from the house of Richard Ridgway to the home of Allice Dickerson. (Bucks Co.
Historical Society)
Land deeds relative to Richard Ridgway and his sons are too numerous to cover
in detail; only selected ones will be noted. In a deed dated Oct 7, 1690, Richard
Ridgway, late of Bucks County, Pa., tailor now of West Jersey, acquired from
Daniel Coxe of London (by his attorney John Tatum of Burlington) the 600 acres
near Stoney Brook, West Jersey, along the East Jersey line, next to John Houghton,
part of Thomas Budd's Indian purchase, conveyed to present grantor. (West Jersey
RFeocrds - Liber B, Part 2, p. 398, p. 450.) This was to be Richard's third
home in America. In early terms, it was on Stony Brfook in Maidenhead Twp, Middlesex
County, NJ. Today it would be on the road between Princeton and Lawrenceville
in Mercer County.
In the minutes of a town meeting at the house of John Lambert in Nottingham
(Twp, North Crosswicks, Burlington County) Richard Ridgway was chosen as Overseer
for the "Wayes" beyond (the Assanpink in Middlesex County.)
On March 17, 1695 he sold 400 acres of the Stoney Brook land to John Bainbridge,
and on July 6, 1696 the remaining 200 acres to Joseph Sackett. On Feb 7, 1697,
for 320 pounds, he purchased 600 acres from Hollingshead, Jr., on Mattacopany
Creek, Springfield Twp, Burlington County (1979) location: near Village of Jacksonville
on the road from Burlington to Jobstown). This became his fourth and final home
in the New World.
Richard served as Justice of the peace for Burlington County in 1703, 1715,
and 1719.>/p>
Richard gave one acre to the Quakers for a meeting house and burying ground.
It is known as the "Copany" or "Old Springfield" (Preparative) Meeting of the
Burlington Monthly Meeting. The old meeting house, second structure on the site
was erected in 1775, still stands today, having been converted to a private
home.
Richard's will (#1055 c., New Jersey State Library, Trenton, NJ) was dated September
21, 1722 and probated April 5, 1723. (A minimum of spelling has been adjusted,
punctuation added, etc., to facilitate comprehension. This note by the Editor
of the Book" Ridgways U.S.A.)

entirety, but some of the items are listed for the insight they give into the
daily life of our early forebears:

warming pan, bedsteads, cloth, spinning wheel, cheese tool, peece of woolen

General Notes: From The Cocks....Genealogy of Long
Island, by George William Cocks: CLARKE LINEAGE
The problem of the ancestry of Sarah, wife of James Cock the immigrant, seems
nearest to solution, with the assumption that she was of the Clarke family,
living contemporaneously with the Cocks at Southhold, LI. The persistence of
the use of the Christian names Clark, Samuel and Richard in several generations
of the Cock family, suggested an examination of sundry Clarke records, wherein
these and several other concurrent names were found both male and female. Other
evidence, pointing to a former residence at Rhode Island, indicates that Sarah's
father was very probably a near relative of Dr. John 4 Clarke, (Thomas 3, John
2, John 1)

From <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~degroff/pafn125.htm#7703>:
"The Cox Family in America, Page 11-- Nothing is known regarding the ancestral
relations of Sarah the wife of James Cock. No reasonable suggestion of consanguinity
with any of the neighboring families at either of the places at which he was
settled has been heard. The temporary occupancy of Thomas Mapes' house and lot
at Southold by James Cock, and the appearance together of the names of Mapes
and Cock in their progress westward, seem to suggest a possible connection of
some kind, but no proof appears.
John Bayles likewise coming to Southold via the Bermudas, whose children intermarried
with the Mapes family and removed westward on Long Island coincident with James
Cock, might possibly have been Sarah's ancestor, but proof is lacking.
Since writing the foregoing the compilers think they have had sufficient reason
to believe that the family name of Sarah, the wife of James Cock, was Clarke,
probably sister of Samuel Clarke, of North Sea, Southampton, Long Island, N.
Y."

In the spring of 1677 two hundred and thirty Quakers left London on the ship
Kent for West Jersey. Half of these were from London and the other half from
Yorkshire. Smith, in his "History of Nova C‘sarea; or, New Jersey," gives a
partial list of these emigrants, but the name of John Shinn does not appear
therein. He also says that these chose as a landing place the spot where Burlington
now stands, and there began a settlement, which they named New Beverley; this
was afterwards changed to Bridlington, after a town in Yorkshire, from whence
many of the settlers came, and subsequently to Burlington. Smith also gives
partial lists of emigrants who followed these in the year 1678, and in a general
way names others who came between 1678 and 1680. In this general list will be
found the name of John Shinn. In the old records of Burlington now in the office
of the Secretary of State at Trenton, showing the freeholders for the year 1680,
the names of "John Sheen" and "Clement Sheen" appear. The same records show
that in the same year John Sheen was a grand juror.

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #3831, Date of Import: Mar 9, 1998]
ON PAGE 205, VOLUME II OF BESSE'S SUFFERING OF FRIENDS WAS THIS ENTRY: AT THE
QUARTER SESSION ON THE 12th OF THE 11th MONTH 1662, JOHN SHINN OF ALBURY AND
JEREMIAH DEANE OF HARTFORD WERE COMMITTED TO PRISON FOR BEING ABSENT FROM THEIR
PARISH CHURCH AND FOR NOT PAYING THE COURT FEES. REFUSAL TO ATTEND THE PARISH
CHURCH AND TO PAY COURT FEES POINT TO THE CONCLUSION THAT JOHN SHINN WAS FIRM
IN CLAIMING HIS RIGHT OF WORSHIP WHERE HE LEASED.
HE SETTLED IN BURLINGTON COUNTY, WEST NEW JERSEY AND SOON BEGAN TO AQUIRE LAND.
ON SEPTEMBER 18, 1680, JOHN SHINN, BOUGHT OF WILLIAM EMLEY ONE OF THE HUNDRED
SHARES OF WEST JERSEY. IN SEPTEMBER, 1680 A SURVEY WAS MAKE FOR JOHN SHINN FOR
200 ACRES ON ASSINCUNK CREEK, ADJOINING ELEAZER FENTON.
IN FEBRUARY 1681 A SURVEY OF 100 ACRES ON THE ASSINCUNK CREEK ADJOINING HIS
LAND AND THAT OF THOMAS BUDD. IN SEPTEMBER 1682 A SURVEY OF 120 ACRES BETWEEN
JOHN BUTCHER, ELEAZER FENTON, AND THE WEST BRANCH OF ASSINCUNK CREEK. RECORDS
DISCLOSE THE FACT THAT JOHN SHINN, SR., HAD BEEN THE OWNER OF SEVERAL THOUSAND
ACRES OF LAND.
BURLINGTON COUNTY AT THIS PERIOD (1680-1712) EMBRACED NOT ONLY ITS PRESENT AREA
BUT A LARGE PART OF HUNTERDON COUNTY AND NOTTINGHAM TOWNSHIP, IN MERCER COUNTY
AND SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP IN WHICH THE GREATER PART OF JOHN SHINN'S POSSESSIONS
WERE LOCATED. THE LAND ALONG THE ASSINCUNK WAS VERY FERTILE, AND ABOUNDED WITH
SUPERIOR MEADOWS.. THE NEIGHBORS OF JOHN SHINN WERE MEN OF WEALTH AND OF GREAT
POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE.
JOHN SHINN, SR., WAS A QUAKER AND A MEMBER OF THE BURLINGTON MONTHLY MEETING
OF FRIENDS. FOR YEARS THE MODEST HOUSE OF JOHN SHINN, KNOWN AS SPRINGFIELD LODGE,
WAS THE HOME OF THE CHURCH. IT HAD BEEN A PLACE WHERE PROMINET MEN GATHERED
AND WHERE MANY OF THE EARLY MARRIAGES WERE SOLEMMIZED. IN THE YEAR OF 1699 THE
FRIENDS NEW MEETING HOUSE WAS FINISHED. FOR 12 YEARS AFTER THE MOVE TO THE NEW
MEETING HOUSE JOHN WAS RETAINED AS OVERSEER, AND AT EVERY MEETING WAS APPOINTED
TO SOME COMMITTEE CONNECTED WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THE CHURCH. HIS WIFE JANE, SEEMS
TO HAVE BEEN A GODLY WOMAN, SPECIALLY FITTED FOR THE WORK OF THE CHURCH. WHEREVER
HER HUSBAND APPEARD, THERE WAS SHE, AND HER INFLUENCE FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
WAS AS WIDELY EXTENDED AS THAT OF HER HUSBAND.
ON THE 7th OF APRIL 1712, JOHN DAY, THE CO-WORKER WITH JOHN SHINN FOR TWENTY
YEARS, AROSE IN THE SPRINGFIELD MEETING AND ANNOUNCED THE DEATH OF JOHN SHINN
AND ASKED THAT ANOTHER FRIEND BE CHOSEN TO ACT AS OVER SEER.
