| Notes |
- The Jones family came from either Denby or Flint, Wales. They sailed to America on the Submission, the last of the 23 ships which brought Quakers to Pennsylvania in 1682. The Submission sailed on September 6, 1682, but unfortunately for the passengers, landed on Chesapeake Bay instead of Philadelphia. On October 19 they had noticed the smell of pine trees and on November 2 landed at Choptank on Maryland's Eastern shore. (Capt. James Settle didn't keep a log for the last days of the voyage; it's quite likely that he didn't know where he was.) Left to get to Pennsylvania on their own, most of the passengers walked about 40 miles to Appoquinimink, the lowest section of New Castle County, and 20 miles from the town of New Castle. Ellis Jones, along with several other passengers, lived in Bucks County, PA in 1684.
He was listed among the servants aborad the Submission and was called "the Govern's miller" when he sold 20 acres to Richard Miles in Radnor Township, Bucks County. (Date not known.) Ellis is listed as a weaver of Nantele in a survey of Radnorshire land owners; he is credited with 100 acares. Another record lists him as buying land in Chester County.

- Voyage log of the ship, "Submission"
The voyage was rough. Some days were calm and misty. More were described as rough, cold and stormy. A few were described as “faire”. Imagine you were sailing to the New World with young children of 13, 12, & 10 years old plus an infant in your care.
Highlights from the ship’s log:
September 12th: “left sight of Cape Cleare” – Ireland’s southernmost island, and likely the final view of European land.
They saw two or three whales. The first one was only at a distance. The next day, on September 17th: “A whale came neare us & appeared fair to us & followed us some time.” I bet the kids thought that was cool.
The day after, on the 18th of September “there arose a Great Storm . . . the sea was exceedingly high ye waves ran as high as the main yards but we received little damage.” (A yard is the horizontal spar to which the sails are attached. Big waves.)
October brought severe multi-day storms. October 2nd:
“The sea very rough, the wind high…. A great head sea broke over the ship & staved the boat & took the most part of it away, broke up the main hatches that were both nailed & corked & took them away that they were not seen where they went, broke the boat’s mast & hyst that were lashed in the midship, broke the gunnell head in the midship & broke the forre shet & took severall things of the decks & severall things that were in the boat it cast betwixt decks. … A great sea fell on our Rudder and broke it about one yard or something more from the head …”
They buried one of their friends’ children at sea that day.
The voyage continued.
October 9th: “Faire wether and wind, hundreds of porpoises about the ship some leaped high out of the water and followed the ship about an hour.”
They kept sailing west. Some days brought good weather. Others didn’t. Most were cold. Once a wind from the south brought warm air. For several days it rained.
Then, near the end of the journey, the rain cleared. On October 19th they couldn’t see land yet but the wind blew from the west and they could smell the pine trees of the New World.
The travelers made shore at Choptank, Maryland on November 2nd, according to a record kept by Quaker shipmate Phineas Pemberton.
The captain’s official log ends without a conclusion. The last entry is the 7th day of the week on October 21st. The storms had blown the ship off-course and it was overcast; the captain may not have known exactly where he was. Some say that’s why he did not finish the record.
TYPE OF WILLIAM PENN’S SHIP, WELCOME – from an engraving of the period. The Welcome carried twice as many passengers as The Submission.
The Submission was one of 22 ships, including William Penn’s “Welcom” that brought the first 2,000 people – mostly Quakers – to the brand new Pennsylvania Colony in 1681 and 1682 [3, 8]
