In 1682 William Penn sailed for America with a large fleet of ships carrying immigrants.
William Penn himself landed at New Castle, but at least one of his fleet made its way into Chesapeake Bay: the Submission, out of Liverpool and Bristol.
The "ship's log" lists her passengers, among them James and Jane Clayton and their six children.
Many or most of the passengers of the Submission disembarked at Choptank and traveled overland to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on the west side of the Delaware River a few miles above Philadelphia.
It is rather intended to an index, providing a guide for the relationships among the many members who are notable and are mentioned in other articles.
