4. HUGH11 FOULKE (EDWARD 10, FOULKE AP THOMAS9 EVAN, THOMAS AP8, EVAN AP THOMAS7 ROBERT, THOMAS AP ROBERT6 LLOYD, ROBERT AP DAVID5, DAVID LLOYD AP4 DAVID, DAVID AP IEUAN3 VYCHAN, IEUAN VYCHAN AP2 IEUAN, IEVAN AP1 GRUFFYDD) was born September 06, 1685 in Coed-y-Foel, Merionethshire, Wales, and died May 21, 1760 in Richland MM, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. He married ANN WILLIAMS April 04, 1713 in Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, Gwynedd Meeting House, Pennsylvania, daughter of JOHN WILLIAMS and MARY EVANS. She was born January 08, 1693/94 in Merion Township, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, and died September 10, 1773 in Richland Twp, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania.

H.M. Jenkins:

Hugh removed from Gwynedd to Richland, probably about the time of his marriage. A memorial of Richland MM says: "He was a member of our meeting for about thirty years, the latter part of his life. He had a good gift of the ministry, which we believe he endeavored faithfully to discharge. …His last illness which was very sharp, he endured with much patience and resignation…He died on the 21st of 5th mo., 1760, in the 75th year of his age, and the 40th of his ministry." From Hugh are descended all the Foulkes whose origin is traceable to Richland, and no doubt a majority of the members of this family now living are of his line. A family memorandum says: "All their [Hugh and Ann's] children lived to marry and raise families, except Edward. In seventy years after their marriage, the number of their posterity was 343, and in 1810 was estimated at upward of 500, of whom 115 bore the name of Foulke."

Clarence V. Roberts (Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks):

"Hugh Foulke, second son of Edward and Eleanor, was born at Coed-y-foel, Merionethshire, Wales, 7 mo. 6, 1685, and came to Pennsylvania with his parents in 1698, as shown by the narrative of his father. The family settled at the site of Penllyn, Montgomery County, where Hugh resided until after his marriage in 1713. The date of his removal to the Great Swamp is not definitely known. He probably located immediately on his arrival on the tract of 313 acres on the west side of the 'Road to Durham', now known as 'California Road,' marked with his name on the map of the Manor of Richland. The railroad crosses this road on part of this tract.

On the minutes of the Board of Property, 6 mo. 28, 1734 (Penna. Arch., 3d Series, Vol. I, p. 44), is the following entry:

'Hugh Folk, in the first month 1832, requested grant of 200 acres of Land in or about the tract called the Great Swamp and soon after settled and has built and improved the same, now requests to know the Proprietaries pleasure on what terms he may hold it. The Proprietaries are pleased to grant the land at 35 per Ct. and 2 d. per acre Quit Rent.'

The Warrant and Survey for this tract is dated 'March 22, 1733-4.' He had probably fixed upon the bounds desired before the survey was made and the contents were ascertained to be 313 acres. This acreage, however, included a tract of forty acres on the east side of the road at the upper corner of the tract and immediately adjoining the upper part of the Joseph Gilbert tract later acquired by Theophilus Foulke, son of Hugh. The patent for this tract was not granted until January 21, 1740. (Patent Book A., Vol. 9, p. 441, Harrisburg, PA)

On 11 mo. 16, 1756, Hugh Foulke and Ann, his wife, conveyed to their son, Theophilus Foulke, 206 acres of this tract, including the forty acres on the east side of the road and the western half of the main tract. They probably conveyed to their eldest son, Samuel, at about the same date, the eastern half of the main tract lying along the west side of the road, which Samuel and Ann, his wife, conveyed to their son Israel in 1787. This latter deed shows the division line through the main tract as it is shown on the 'Draught of Sundry Tracts in Richland Township,' made by Samuel Foulke in 1767, where the said tracts are marked respectively, 'Theo. Foulke' and 'Samuel Foulke.'

It is entirely possible that Hugh Foulke had settled on this tract prior to his request for the grant ghereof in 1732, as it was not unusual for settlers to 'locate' before applying for a survey. In the case of James Green the application was made after he had lived thereon 'near twenty years.'

We know that Hugh Foulke was located in the Swamp in 1730, as on 8th month 27th of that year he was named as an overseer of Richland Preparative Meeting, and it is quite probable that he was a resident there at the time of the organization of the Preparative Meeting in 1725, and possibly ten years earlier.

He was an accepted minister of the Society of Friends and served Richland Meeting in that capacity for upward of thirty years. He was one of the pioneers of the settlement in the Great Swamp, and he and his sons and grandsons were among the most prominent people of that section for a century or more. He died in Richland, 5 mo. 21, 1760. A memorial of Richland Monthly Meeting says: 'He was a member of our meeting for about thirty years; he had a good gift in the ministry, which we believe he endeavored faithfully to discharge.'

He married, under care of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, 4 mo., 4, 1713, Ann Williams, born in Merion Township, Philadelphia County, 11 mo. 6, 1693. She was a daughter of John and Mary (Evans) Williams, who came from Merionethshire, Wales, in 1687, and settled in Merion. Her mother died at Merion in 1698, and her father removed, with his children, to Montgomery Township, Montgomery County, in 1706. Ann (Williams) Foulke died at Richland, 10 mo. 9, 1773."

Hugh Foulke's log cabin outside of Quakertown on California Road was with stone additions still standing in 1993.

CADWALLADER11 FOULKE (EDWARD 10, FOULKE AP THOMAS9 EVAN, THOMAS AP8, EVAN AP THOMAS7 ROBERT, THOMAS AP ROBERT6 LLOYD, ROBERT AP DAVID5, DAVID LLOYD AP4 DAVID, DAVID AP IEUAN3 VYCHAN, IEUAN VYCHAN AP2 IEUAN, IEVAN AP1 GRUFFYDD) was born September 13, 1691 in Coed-Y-Foel, Merionethshire, Wales, and died September 17, 1743 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. He married MARY EVANS June 13, 1719 in Gwynedd MM, Pennsylvania, daughter of ROBERT EVANS and ELLEN. She died 1747 in Bristol, Bucks Co., PA.

H.M. Jenkins: He lived at Gwynedd until 1731, when he removed to Philadelphia, and d. there 7th mo. 17, 1743, "after a short illness." The memorial of Philadelphia m.m. concerning him says: "He was born in Wales, and came over to this Province with his parents, when young; married and settled at Gwynedd, where he lived most of his time; and from thence about twelve years before his decease removed to this city. He was of an open generous disposition, and useful and active in the support of discipline and good order of the church, an Elder well respected and exemplary in his life and conversation." In Gwynedd he was a "yeoman" ; he bought 1718, land, 307 acres of Hugh Pugh, son of Evan ap Hugh, and sold it, 1732, to Robert John. In his deed to the latter he is described as "late of Gwynedd, but now of Philadelphia, shop-keeper." His residence, and probably place of business, are shown by a deed from Edward Cotteral to him, in 1740, for a "lot adjoining the house where he [C.F.] lives, on the north side of High Street, near the Court House." He was appointed a justice of the peace for Philadelphia Co., Nov. 22, 1738. The Philadelphia Co., records show acknowledgements of deeds, etc., before him, in 1739, '40 and '41 (and probably later). His wife, Mary, was a minister among Friends, and made a number of journeys of religious duty, among others to Barbadoes, Nantucket, and Rhode Island. She m. 2nd, at Philadelphia meeting, 11th mo. 31, 1744, Thomas Marriott, of Bristol, Bucks County, and d. 1747. A memorial in the John Smith MS. Collections says: "Her corpse was taken to Philadelphia, and, after a solemn meeting held on that occasion at the Bank Meeting House, she was buried in Friends' burying ground there." Cadwallader and Mary had ten children, but one only, Judah, lived to adult age.
