This story about the Yardley family's journey on the same ship that
Luke Brinley sailed on gives a general picture of the journey:
- On July 14, 1682 William and Jane
Yardley, aboard the Friend's Adventure, set sail on a fair wind out
of Liverpool harbor in northwest England. The family joined a steady
stream of immigrants who had responded to William Penn's offer to
purchase and settle land in the newly established province of
Pennsylvania.
- On the first night out, the wind
turned "cross" and the master of the battered Friend's Adventure
sought refuge in Ramsey harbor on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.
William described the experience in a letter to his brother-in-law
James Harrison: "(S)ome of us went ashore. It being the first day of
the week, we met aboard again. Having got a little milk, we took it
with us aboard, which was very acceptable to our poor weak women and
children."
-
- The next day, "the wind turning
westerly proved very boisterous and being so cross that it made the
sea very turbulent, that caused us to be many of us very sick, and
that night it was very stormy ... that we were forced to go round
the island and come to the bay again (Ramsey) where we are at anchor
at this present."
- William continued, "We are both of
us very weak in body yet very fervent in mind, for we look upon
these things to be but accidental, although we are satisfied the
Lord's ordering hand is with us, and we can say that it is good, and
we hope that in His own due time He will bring us safe to our
desirable place."
- On board with William and Jane were
their children, Enoch, Thomas, and William - "who are pretty well
and can eat the ship's fare wonderfully," The family was accompanied
by a servant, Andrew Heath, indentured to serve four years until
August 29, 1686.
-
- Also on board the Friend's Adventure
were other settlers who would become the Yardleys' neighbors -
George and Elinor Pownall, their five children and three servants;
John, Joseph, and Sarah, the children of John Clowes (who would sail
the following year); and John Brock with his servants, Job Houle and
Elleca Eaton. Each family had purchased land from William Penn and
would settle in the area that in 1692 became Makefield Township in
Bucks County.
-
- On September 27, after more than two
months at sea, the Friend's Adventure arrived in the Delaware Bay
and may have stopped at New Castle (Delaware), the largest town and
the first port of call for ships arriving from Europe. The Yardleys,
however, probably disembarked at Upland (Chester), a small village
further up river at a site that had been considered the logical
location for William Penn's "greene country town."
