Notes for Ann Short: Ann Short is generally accepted as one of the passengers who accompanied William Penn to Pennsylvania on the ship "Welcome". One of the most completely researched works states it is "highly probable" than Ann Short was such a passenger. George F. McCracken, The Welcome Claimants Proved, Disproved and Doubtful: With An Account of Some of their Descendants (Publication of the Welcome Society of Pennsylvania, No. Genealogical Pub. Co, 1970). The argument is as follows: Isaac Ingram, a proven passenger on the "Welcome" died en route. In his will he left to "my Sister Miriam Short lately deceased her three Children Adam, Miriam, & Anne Short all that Thirty pounds lying in Ambrose Riggs hand...to be equally divided between them (viz) Tenn pounds apiece further it is my will & minde that my Sisters Children aforesaid have all the goods on board the Welcome equally divided between them". The assumption is made, as there was no provision for the sale of the goods on board for transport of the proceeds to England, those named were also on board the ship. Other circumstantial evidence is that Miriam Short is recorded as a resident of Chester County shortly after the "Welcome" arrived, and married George Thompson, a proven passenger. The marriage was conducted by Lawrence Carolus Lockenius, a Lutheran clergyman, and was somehow contrary to the laws of the province. Charges were brought against Thompson, but were dismissed when no one appeared to testify against him on 14 Feb 1682/3. By 6 11mo 1684, Miriam had a child and was receiving public assistance. It is not known if George had died or had abandoned her. She later married William White of New Castle County, whose will was probated on 14 September 1703. Her third marriage took placed on 30 November 1704 at Chichester, when she married Aaron Coppock (of book # 6-Donna Beers) of Aston Township who died 10 10mo 1726. It has been said the only noteworthy aspect of this particular ship was that William Penn was aboard, making his first trip to his American property. In July, 1682, the ship's master, Robert Greenway, began to load the ship in preparation for the trip. In August newspaper articles noted that Penn had "taken leave" of his friends and was preparing to board the "Welcome" to make the trip in the company of five other ships. On September 2nd another paper noted that Penn had sailed two days earlier with "a great many Quakers" to settle "Pensilvania". During the trip many of the passengers suffered from smallpox, and approximately 30 died, including the above mentioned Isaac Ingram (and perhaps Miriam Short, the mother of Ann, as she is "late deceased" per Isaac's will?) Records of the Court of New Castle on Delaware, Book B, p. 437, note the following: "On the 27th day of October 1682; arrived before yr Towne of New Castle in Delowar from England William Penn Esqr. Proptry of Penlivinia... ye said William Penn Received possession of ye Towne of New Castle ye 28th of Octobr 1682." She was born England. She married Joel Baily, son of Daniel Bayly and Mary ___, after 11 April 1687 Chester Co., PA; intentions were first announced at the monthly meeting for Chichester and Concord on 14 March 1686/87. Second intentions were announced at Birmingham on 11 Apr 1687. No marriage certificate was recorded, so the exact date of their marriage is not known. She died Chester Co., PA. She and Joel Baily were named in a deed on 8 September 1713 Chester County, PA, by which 50 acres was conveyed to Thomas Dutton.<46>

Ann Short came over to America in the Ship "Welcome" in 1682. Her mother was Miriam Ingram, sister of Isaac Ingram who was late of Groton in July 1682 when he died aboard the "Welcome", enroute to America. Miriam Ingram was dead prior to this date and left Adam, Miriam and Ann; perhaps other children. It has been said by other family researchers that Joel Bailey met Ann Short aboard the boat "Welcome". If this is so then his arrival date in America would have been 1682.
