b. July 1629. Lively and vivacious, Bettie was her father's favourite. She married John Claypole in January 1646 and had four children.

Her premature death from cancer in August 1658 profoundly affected Oliver, who died the following month. Like other prominent Cromwellians, Bettie was buried in Westminster Abbey; by chance, hers was the only grave left undisturbed at the Restoration.

!MARRIAGE: Married in Bremen, Germany by Conradus Zelnisa, a Calninist Minister.

LINEAGE DAUGHTER'S AMERICAN COLONISTS---James Claypoole 1634-1687 married Helena Mercer, PA 5/307.

The only knowledge I have of Claypool(e)s in Germany is James Claypoole (b. 1634 to John Claypoole and Mary Angell of Northampton, England), who went to Bremen, Germany circa 1649 to apprentice to a merchant. He met and married his wife (Helena Mercer) in Bremen. They moved to London around 1660, where they soon became involved with the Quakers and William Penn. Perhaps James went to Germany because his family was connected somehow to the Cleijpools that were in Germany. Do you know anything more about them?

FROM KREFELD... TO PHILADELPHIA ~ A BRIEF EXPLANATION ~ The history of the Original 13 settlers from Germantown is interesting, involved, and at times mysterious. But the primary incentive that induced them to leave their homeland was based simply on principles of freedom, which made their "promised land", America, the perfect solution to an ongoing problem... "religious persecution".Note: The issues of religious conflict during this time period are deep and involved, and are not expounded upon in this "brief" explanation. Look for other links to sources on topics mentioned in this website where you can find more in-depth information.When William Penn was searching for righteous, pious, God-fearing men and their families to fulfill his dream, (which he refers to as his "Holy Experiment"), Penn had encountered the German people in the lower Rhine Valley. The people he found there were in need of relief from oppression and hostility, and as it turned out, filled his requirements for religious, moral, and economic status perfectly. As a result, 13 families were invited by William Penn to come to the new land of opportunity, to be a part of the creation of a new type of world... where people were free to worship without fear of retribution... in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These are the families who we now refer to as "The Original 13". The Original 13 "Krefelders", who set sail in July 1683 and arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October, 1683 on the Concord, are considered to be the first "group" or mass-emigration to America. They were also the original settlers of Germantown, Pennsylvania. We invite you to scroll down the page to view three photographs of Krefeld, Germany... today's streets... upon which our forefather's had once walked over 300 years ago.

Aboard this ship was James Claypoole (I), his wife Helena (Mercer), 7 children and several servants.

!BIOGRAPHY: !They sailed from Gravesend, ENGLAND on the ship, CONCORD on 25 AUG 1683. James was a secretery to WILLIAM PENN and he along with his brother, Norton of Sussex Co, Delaware each received land grants from Wm. Penn. After the deaths in 1687 & 1688 of James & Norton, the heirs of James sued the heirs of Norton and ended up taking everything they had. In the 1690's, Norton's son, James with his siblings left Delaware but this is not the same person hereafter referred to as James II.

James I sent his oldest son, John on 23 APR 1682 on ship "AMITY" with Captain Thomas Holmes, ahead to America and had him build their house on "Banks" Front Street, Philadelphia. Captain Holmes was Penn's appointed Commissioner of Province & Surveyor-General. John was his clerk and assistant.

!Purchased 5000 acres from William Penn and several lots in the town of Philadelphia.

1677---Quaker Merchant at Bush Lane, Scots Yard, London, England. After purchasing land in America he sent servants ahead to build a temporary home. One year after immigration---1684 he built the first brick house in Philadelphia on Dock Creek.

1000 acres of 5000 were on the Nechaminy, Warrington Township, Bucks Co, Pennsylvania; 1000 or more on the west side of Schuylkill at present side of Manayunk & his "town lot" was on the Delaware Riverfront, near the mouth of Dock Creek. The lot was 102 feet front on the river and extended back 396 feet. "Claypoole House" No. 37 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.

Quakers---close to Penn, 1st to witness his signature on Charter of Pennsylvania; treasurer of the "Free Society of Traders"; Register General and a Member of Provincial Council. Founder of settlement at Germantown; Judge of Provincial Court and member of Governor's Council & Assembly.

James Claypoole's historic accolades include the fact that his name is the first that appears on the Pennsylvania Charter and that he reportedly was William Penn's best friend.

David Chambers Claypoole, James' great-grandson owned the first daily newspaper in America...David Chambers Claypoole, who was the brother of James Jr., the Armstrong County settler, printed the original copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and George Washington's Farewell Address, which was given to the printer personally by Washington.

Another distinguished Claypoole of the past is James, grandson of the family founder, the earliest native artist of Pennsylvania, whose specialty was portrait painting.

Not to be forgotten is John Claypoole the third husband of Betsy Ross, of Flag making fame.

DEATH: Record for James Claypoole I found in "GENEALOGIES OF PENNSYLVANIA FAMILIES" by Genealogical Co.

"My Deare father, James Claypoole (I) Departed this life the 6 6 mo 1687 and was buried in froends burying place at philadelphia 7 6 mo."

George Washington's farewell address is one of the most important documents in American history. Recommendations made in it by the first president, particularly in the field of foreign affairs, have exerted a strong and continuing influence on American statesmen and politicians. The address, in which Washington informed the American people that he would not seek a third term and offered advice on the country's future policies, was published on September 19, 1796, in David Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser.

 David Chambers Claypoole, James' great-grandson, owned the first daily newspaper in America...David Chambers Claypoole, who was the brother of James Jr., the Armstrong County settler, printed the original copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and George Washington's Farewell Address, which was given to the printer personally by Washington.

Notes for ELIZABETH (BETSY) GRISCOM:

Betsy Ross is best known as the legendary maker of the first American flag, but her story is an inspirational one that goes well beyond her association with the flag. Betsy Ross was a courageous and spirited woman whose life was filled with hardships. She was shunned by her family and forbidden to worship as a Quaker for marrying a man of a different faith. She was widowed three times, and two of her seven daughters died as infants. Faced with these adversities, Betsy managed to prevail as an industrious businesswoman, running her own upholstery shop at a time when women were not given the same opportunities as men.

On January 1, 1752, Elizabeth Griscom, familiarly called Betsy, was the eighth of seventeen children born into the Quaker family of Samuel and Rebecca Griscom. Samuel, a successful carpenter, moved his large family from their farmhouse in New Jersey to the growing city of Philadelphia when Betsy was three years old. They eventually settled into a large home on 4th and Arch Streets.

Although Betsy is often referred to as a seamstress, she was actually a trained upholsterer. After completing her formal education at a school for Quaker children, Betsy went on to apprentice to John Webster, a talented and popular Philadelphia upholsterer. She spent several years under Webster, learning to make and repair curtains, bedcovers, tablecloths, rugs, umbrellas and Venetian blinds, as well as working on other projects that involved sewing.

While apprenticing to Webster, Betsy met and fell in love with a fellow apprentice named John Ross, the son of an Anglican clergyman. Being devout Quakers, Betsy’s family did not approve of her relationship with John. Marrying outside of the faith was an offense worthy of expulsion from the Quaker community. Nevertheless, on November 4, 1773, Betsy and John fled across the Delaware River to Hugg’s Tavern in Gloucester, New Jersey where they married without the blessing of her family and fellow Quakers.

Betsy and John Ross lived and ran their own upholstery business in a married for just over two years when their marriage was tragically cut short by the war for independence. John Ross, a member of the local militia, was guarding munitions near the Delaware River when an explosion of gunpowder killed him, leaving Betsy a childless widow at the age of 24. Betsy continued to run her upholstery business, making extra income by mending uniforms and making tents, blankets, musketballs, and cartridges for the Continental army.

On June 15, 1777, Betsy married her second husband, Joseph Ashburn. Joseph was a mariner and was often at sea, leaving Betsy, a new mother, alone in Philadelphia. The sea was a dangerous place during the Revolution; in 1780 a British frigate captured Joseph’s ship. The crew was charged with treason and taken to Old Mill Prison in Plymouth, England. While Ashburn was imprisoned at Old Mill, his and Betsy’s first daughter, Zilla, died at only nine months old and their second daughter, Eliza was born. Joseph never learned of Zilla’s death nor had the opportunity to see his new daughter, because he died of an unknown illness before the British released the American prisoners in 1782.

Later in 1782, still grieving from the death of her first child, Betsy was visited by an old acquaintance named John Claypoole. He was a fellow prisoner and close friend of Joseph Ashburn. John was there to bring Betsy the news of her second husband’s death. Betsy learned that she was once again a widow at the age of 30.

John Claypoole and Betsy rekindled their old friendship and married each other on May 8, 1783. A year later, Betsy returned to her Quaker roots when she and her husband joined the Society of Free Quakers—a sect, unlike the pacifist traditional Quakers, that supported America’s fight for freedom from British rule.

Betsy was finally able to enjoy a lengthy marriage to John Claypoole, but this thirty-four year long relationship was not without its struggles. The couple had five more daughters together, but only four of them lived to maturity. In 1793, Betsy’s mother, father, and sister died within days of each other from the yellow fever, leaving Betsy to raise her niece. In 1812, Betsy and John’s young, widowed daughter Clarissa moved into their home with her five young children and a sixth on the way. Once again, Betsy had a full house of children to care for. But the children were not the only members of the household who needed much of Betsy’s attention; for nearly twenty years, John Claypoole was disabled as a result of his earlier war injuries. He died from a lengthy illness in 1817.

Betsy continued her upholstery and flag-making business with the help of her daughter Clarissa. After over fifty years in her trade, she retired at the age of 76 and left the city to live on her daughter Susanna’s farm in the remote suburb of Abington. According to her descendents, although her vision was failing rapidly, Betsy continued to take the long carriage ride to the Free Quaker Meetinghouse in the city every week.

By 1833 Betsy was completely blind. She spent the last three years of her life living with her daughter Jane’s family on Cherry Street in Philadelphia. With family present, Betsy died peacefully in her sleep on January 30, 1836. She was eighty-four years old.

Betsy often amused her children and grandchildren by recounting the story of how she made the first Stars and Stripes. For nearly a century, the story of Betsy Ross and the making of the first flag was known only by her family. It wasn’t until William Canby’s speech to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in 1870 that the nation was first introduced to his remarkable grandmother and her accomplishments.

According to Canby, his grandmother told him about the day in 1776 when General George Washington and two members of the Continental Congress walked through the door of her upholstery shop. Well aware of the significance of their visit, Betsy led her guests to the privacy of her parlor. Here, the men disclosed the reason for their visit—they wanted Betsy to make a flag for the new nation. Betsy explained that she had never made a flag before, but she would be willing to try.

The men presented her with a sketch of the proposed flag. She studied the drawing and noticed that there were six-pointed stars in the design. Betsy suggested that the stars should have five points, but the gentlemen protested, claiming that a great many of these flags must be made very quickly and a five-pointed star would be too difficult to make. With that, Betsy folded a piece of paper and with just one snip of her scissors she revealed a perfect five-pointed star. The men were impressed with her skill and agreed to change the design. One year later, on June 14, 1777, Congress passed the Flag Resolution, making the Stars and Stripes the official flag of the United States.
