Some quotes from Edward Foulke about his sailing on the Robert and Elizabeth:
"We took shipping the 17th of the 2nd month A D 1698 on board the Robert
and Elizabeth (from Liverpool) and the next day set sail for Ireland, where
we arrived, and staid until the first of the 3rd month, May, and then sailed
again for Pennsylvania and were about eleven weeks at
sea................arrived safe at Philadelphia the 17th of the 5th month,
July, where we were kindly received....."
45 people died on the passage over.
With him were his wife Eleanor ap Hugh ap Cadwallader ap Rhys, his
nine children- Thomas, Hugh, Cadwallder, Evan, Grace, Gwen, Jane, Catherine
and Margaret. (Notice the boys are listed first!)
