Notes |
- Information from Letha Wedel and Eileen Green and the Wardlaw Family Book
William is the only child there is a record of coming to America. It is believed that Robert and William probably came to America between 1720 and 1725. Information on son William says they settled in PA about 1725 to 1729. PA Quakers disliked dissenters or Presbyterians and William with others went to Virginia about 1735 to 1740 to Augusta County. Robert and William's children seem to have the same names.
