Among the purchasers of land from William Penn was Robert Taylor, of Little Leigh, in the County Palatine of Chester, husbandman, to who Penn conveyed one thousand acres of unlocated land in Pennsylvania, by deeds of lease and release, dated 2d and 3d of March 1681, for the sum of 20 pounds. Clutterwick appears to have been a hamlet in Little Leigh, according to "Leycester's Historical Antiquities," published in 1673.
Robert Taylor, the father, had come over the previous year [before wife Mary] and must have brought his eldest daughter and second son with him. Tradition says that he brought Rachel to prevent her marriage to a person not approved by him.

Robert was a "First Purchaser" of 1,000 acres, meaning he purchased land from Penn prior to Penn's departure. He apparently arrived sometime in 1682 as he returned a warrant for survey to the surveryor general's office on Nov. 11, 1682.
Of the land purchased in England, a tract of 400 acres was surveyed Nov. 11, 1682, on Crum creek, in Springfield Twp. Of the remainder 550 acres were located Oct. 30, 1683 on Darby creek, in Marple Twp. Robert Taylor settled on the Springfield tract and there died in April or May of 1695."
