We enjoyed visiting Pennepack Baptist Church last Friday, . We were looking for the grave of my ancester John Wright, 1729-April 13, 1792 and possibly his wife Rachael (Marple) Wright 1729-Nov. 28, 1801. The published record lists a site for a Rachael next to him but the dates are 100 years off, so I was wondering if someone had mistranscribed them.

I am also a descendant of John and Rachael (Marple) Wright. I visited the cemetery about 8 years ago looking for their graves but either I missed them or the stones were too worn to be able to make out the inscriptions. If possible, I would also be interested in the location of their graves. I'm planning to be in the Philadelphia area in late July and would very much like to stop there again. I am descended from John and Rachael's son, William and his wife, Eleanor (Northrop) Wright who, I believe, are also buried there. I would also be interested in the location of William and Eleanor's graves if known.

I am planning on visiting the church and cemetery this weekend. I have been doing geneaology research on my Hart family tree and I believe my 7x great-grandparents, John Hart (1651-1714) and Susannah Rush (1654-1725), are buried there. Is this so? Their son, John Hart (1685-1763), was a founder of the Southampton Old School Baptist Meeting House. Any information you have would be appreciated! Thanks.

If my counting is correct I am the sixth generation descendant of William and Charlotte Grookett. I found the headstones of Charlotte and her daughter Mary Ann on the back fence on the south side of the church. Thanks for the wonderful care of your beautiful church and graveyard. I hope to return when I can tour your church and learn and share more historical information. It was here for the day from SC.

Urgent alert advising all Jesus Christ believers -I am witness seeing two identical images of Jesus Christ. Testimony video "Christ testimony of the churches around the world". The spirit of antichrist was already at work and continues to this day until the coming of Lord Jesus. Holy scriptures were counterfeited during Roman Empire times by certain men who added and took away words of prophecy Rev22:18. they started Roman Catholic Church. They transferred tampered scriptures of original Torah into a book they called Holy Bible. Holy Bible book contains mixture of counterfeited and original scriptures. The original writings of prophecy found on Chabad.org 2Thess2:15. These men changed Torah Is9:5-6 to KJVIs9:6-7. this is Rom1:23,25 (1Pet1:23) and Rev13:18!

So happy you have a website to see pictures and records. I'm a direct descendant of Griffith and Bridget Miles and their line of Joseph and Benjamin's. I know they left Wales 1683 on Penn's 7th ship and left the Quaker church upon arrival. I also know they practiced "hands-on healing'' according to records. Obviously there are no family pictures this far back but I do have a picture of my greatgrandfather Benjamin Cottman

I am so excited to see your site, I have just learned that my 6 x Great Grandfather, Abel Morgan, pastored your church until his death in 1722. I have been planning a trip out this summer to see the Middletown Baptist Church where his son, my 5 x Great Grandfather pastored, as well as the one in Delaware where his brother Enoch and my 7x Great Grandfather Thomas Griffith pastored. Any suggestions you may have, how I could see and look around causing the least possible disruption to you, your staff or church family would be appreciated.

Thank you! Yes, he had a son, Abel Morgan, my 5 x Great Grandfather who pastored Middletown Baptist in Middletown NJ, he also wrote a book published by Ben Franklin, I have read it. Middletown Baptist also found a document in the church in 2016 during a renovation where Morgan and his senior leadership had cast out all the Tories from their church and declared themselves as patriots for the new free and independent nation. I have not made it out yet, still hoping to this summer or fall.

I have to figure out my schedule, my plans are this summer of fall. I need to see Pennepack Baptist Church where my 6x Great Grandfather Abel Morgan pastored, then I also need to go to Middletown Baptist in New Jersey to see where my 5x Great Grandfather Abel Morgan II pastored and the Welsh Track Baptist Church in Delaware where Abel first arrived in America, met my 6 x Great Grandmother and where her father my 7 x Great Grandfather Thomas Griffith pastored followed by Abel's brother Enoch. I have already been to Little Pigeon Creek Baptist in Southern Indiana, not same building but on same site, started by my 4 x Great Grandfather and Grandmother along with others including the Thomas Lincoln family around 1810. I don't know who the first pastor was.

At some point, I want to go to Wales to see where Abel was from, and see what else I can learn about his father, my 7 x Great Grandfather Morgan ap Rherrdych who was a early Baptist pastor, who defied the King of England when commanded to quit preaching, was arrested, imprisoned and tortured for four years before being released. He continued to preach underground for what I believe was the rest of his life.

I am the 6th great granddaughter of Rev Joseph Eaton, son of John and Joan of Wales, he was 7 yrs of age when arriving to Penn. in 1686, their is proof the family came earlier, Rev George Eaton his brother's descendants had DNA testing that matched with my brothers 36 of 37 marks. I have a great deal of information on this Eaton line. Would like to read the minutes written back then to see if there was more news of this family , I understand there may have been a daughter born to John and Joan by the name of Magot.
