Overview
Overview
This book describes the first seven generations of our Worrall family line, beginning with a small farmer named Roger Worrall (ca. 1550-1616) in Acton near Weaverham, Cheshire UK, and ends with a clerk named George Worrall (1769-1845) in Philadelphia. In particular, it covers the turbulent time during and after the English Civil War when John Worrall of Acton (1618-1703) converted to the Quaker faith, was disowned by his father and thrown into prison during widespread persecution of the Quakers and other non-establishment sects, and lived to see three children emigrate to Pennsylvania with William Penn in 1682. His son John Worrall of Edgmont (1658-1742) became a prominent citizen in the new colony, and his house of ca. 1686 still stands in rural Pennsylvania. The book is well referenced and contains scores of illustrations and maps.
