John Whitmore was killed by an Indian in 1648.

Colonial Records of Connecticut and Trumbull's Colonial Recollections: 'This courte, taking into serious consideration what may be done according to God in way of revenge of the bloude of John Whitmore, late of Stamford, and well weighing all circumstances, together with the carriages of the Indians (bordering thereuppon) in and about the premises: doe declare themselves that they do judge it lawful and according to God to make a war uppon them.' A committee was sent to New Haven the next day to confer with the rest of the magistrates, and 'return with what convenient speed they may.' Trumballs Col. Rec. Vol.1, pg. 197 )

September 1734, Pennsylvania
 |
| Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
Jane came to Philadelphia in 1683 with her widowed mother. They came as indentured servants. Among the early settlers who came into Pennsylvania were a very large number who were denominated as Servants. The liberal terms offered by Penn, greatly increased the number of those who came in this capacity, as they received 50 acres of headland, when their time expired, the same as others. The term did not necessarily imply a menial, but included mechanics, farm hands, agents, etc., employed by others, and were frequently relatives and those of equal social position. Sometimes their passage was paid in consideration of a specified term of service. On December 7, 1684, Jane's mother Elizabeth was granted 100 acres of headland in Chester County. They were Quakers and in 1685 were under the care of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting.
In 1686, Jane married Quaker John Austin, a shipwright, at the home of her mother and stepfather, Edmund Bennett, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. John preceded Jane in death about 1708.
Jane Austin, being 'weak in body but sound mind and memory,' made her will December 26, 1733, and died September 14, 1734. The will is recorded in Will-Book E, page 309, at Philadelphia. She mentions son Samuel Austin; daughters Ann Robins, Elizabeth Chanel and Mary; grandchildren John Robbins, Mary Robins, John Austin, John Wood.
The executors were George Fitzwater, Anthony Morris, and Jacob Shoemaker. Witnesses, Ezekiel Potts and John White.

Thomas Freame had come over earlier, probably in 1732, and had returned to England. With some persuasion his wife Margaret Penn now accompanied him to Pennsylvania. She finally returned to England in 1741 with her brother Thomas.
Thomas Penn had established himself at Philadelphia in a residence between Bush Hill and the Schuylkill, with grounds esteemed handsome in that day, and long known as the " Proprietor's Garden."
