English (default) history
1703 Delaware Court: "Dorothy, wife of Richard Cantrell, presented for masking in men's clothes the day after Christmas, walking and dancing in the house of John Simes at 9 or 10 o'clock at night." John Simes who gave the masquerade party, was presented for keeping a disorderly house," a nursery of debotch ye inhabitants and youth of this cithy..to ye grief of and disturbance of peaceful minds and propagating ye throne of wickedness amongst us." Dorothy Jones Cantrill seems to have been a young lady of considerable spirit and independence of character. She not only married the man of her choice, irrespective of her religious training, but later evidence is found of her love of gayety and society in an old history of Philadelphia, where she figured at a masquerade ball, much to the horror of her more quiet Quaker friends. She seems to have inherited her love of society from her mother, for the name of Jane Jones appears as a witness to the marriage of a great many Quakers of her day, and the Quaker weddings were probably the principal events affording those of that sect an expression to there social instinct.

Richard married about 1693 Dorothy Jones. Dorothy was born aborn in 1672 in Wales and came to Pennsylvania with her parents in the ship "Submission" in 1682. She was the third of four children of Ellis and Jane Jones, who were Quakers and had come to America to escape religious persecution. Since Richard Cantrell was not a Quaker, he and Dorothy were married "out of meeting", as the Quaker term goes. Their apparent first child died, and the Race Street meeting house records list under Burial os Those Not Friends, "Mary, 1-6, 1695, parents Richard and Dorothy Cantrill." Dorothy Jones Cantrell is said to have gone so far from her Quaker upbringing that she attended a masquerade ball in Philadelphia, and she was apparently fond of social events. Dorothy and Richard Cantrell, as city dwellers, had what was probably an easier life than many of their descendants would have when they moved to the frontier communities of the Carolinas and Tennessee. As shown by the will of Dorothy's mother, Jane Jones, Richard and Dorothy Jones Cantrell had four known children: + 2. i. Mary2 Cantrell b abt 1694 burial 6 Jan 1695 Race Street Meeting House, Philadelphia, PA. + 3. ii. Joseph2 Cantrell b ca 1695 Philadelphia, PA m Catharina _______. + 4. iii. Zebulon2 Cantrell b abt 1697 Philadelphia, PA, and appears on the tax list in Chester Co., Pennsylvania, in 1718. He was a cordwainer, or shoemake, by occupation. Zebulon moved later into the Welsh Tract district in New Castle County (now Delaware). There he was a witness to a will in 1758. In 1763 he bought 200 acres of land there. Family tradition says that he and his son Joseph moved to Botetourt Co., Virginia, befor the Revolutionary War. + 5. iv. Dorothy2 Cantrell b abt 1710, was living and unmarried when her grandmother Jane Jones made her will in 1730. No further information..

Ellis Jones immigrated to the Colonies aboard the "Submission" in September 1682, along with his wife, Jane (age 40), and his children, Barbara (age 13), Mary (age 12), Dorothy (age 10), and Isaac (age (4 months). Ellis was a resident of Bucks County, PA in 1684, but by 1689 had settled in Philadelphia. He is on a list of “Important Colonists” who came to Philadelphia on board the Submission. His name is also on record in the Welsh Tract Purchases as having purchased one hundred acres in Nantonell Parish, Radnor. He was a weaver and servant to the Governor. Ellis Jones made his will March 22, 1722, and he died in Philadelphia July 16, 1727. His will was executed September 23, 1727. His wife, Jane was the executor. Kinsman John Pugh.

end of this biography [4]
- Dorothy Jones was the daughter of Elias and Jane Jones. They had come to America from Denbigh, Flint, Wales, in the ship Submission, in September 1682. The log of the ship lists the family. Dorothy was 10 when she arrived. The Jones family were Quakers, so by marrying someone from the Church of England, Dorothy had married "out of meeting," to use the Quaker term.
