Radnorshire is an inland district of South Wales, bounded on the north by Montgomeryshire and Shropshire and partly on the south and southwest by Brecknockshire. The reater portion of the surface of the country is hilly and the center is occupied by a mountainous tract called Radnor Forest, running nearly east and west, its highest summit reaching 2163 feet.

     (9) In 1692, George KEITH and 8 of his followers, including Thomas POWELL, accused the Society at the Yearly Meeting at Philadelphia with "lax" discipline and doctrinal impurity" and were disowned. From 1692 to 1695 these separated "Keithian Quakers" held their meetings at POWELL's home at Ridley Creek, Edgemont Twp., Chester Co., with KEITH as their leader. They had appealed to London for vondication, but in 1695 the English Quakers also repudiated KEITH, causing him to "quit" the Quakers and return to England, where 5 years later he became an Anglican priest and missionary. The meetings at POWELL's continued, where a former follower named Able NOBLE turned Seventh Day Baptist minister, convinced some of them to be baptized in Jun 1697. Some from Radnor in the Welsh Tract, including Samuel and Richard MILES, came there to be baptized before 1701. In 1700 the group at POWELL's split in a dispute about the day the Sabbath was to be observed. Those that chose Saturday left the group to form the Seventh Day Baptists at Newton. The group that remained at POWELL's was preached to by the Welsh Episcopalean minister Rev. Evan EVANS.
     (1b) 1698, 9 Aug (6 mo.): Baptized, Seventh Day Baptist Church, Providence. (8) His wife and daughters certainly remained friends, and he probably also until his death, in spite of the above baptism. (12) 1698, 25 Apr: Samuel MILES baptized in Redley Creek by Society of Baptists of Upper Providence (Brandywine Baptist Church).
     (5) 1701, 23 Dec: The lands of grantees of Richard DAVIES of Welchpool were ordered resurveyed by the Commissioners, which was done 16 Feb 1701/2, including 100 acres granted to Richard MILES, which he had settled upon, and 100 acres granted to Samuel MILES.
     (11c) 1703, 28 May (3rd mo.): By warrant dated 18 Feb (12th mo.) 1701/2, there was a resurvey to Samuel MILES of 352 acres in Radnor in Welsh Tract in Newton, bounded by William DAVIS, Richard MILES, and Lewis WALKER.
     (1,4) 1705, 6 Jul (5 mo.): Samuel MILES was issued a patent to various lots for 352 acres, confirming a purchase made by Samuel and Margaret JAMES, Spinster, before leaving Wales. (8c) Acquired a farm of 352 acres, Radnor Twp., Chester Co., PA. Of this, 200 acres had been purchased from Richard DAVIS by Margaret JAMES before her marriage to Samuel MILES and before emigration from Wales. The deeds were dated 19 and 20 Jun 1682. Of the 150 acres he had acquired in 1684 and 1693, he sold 92 acres to his brother Richard. The resurvey showed an overplus of 69 acres, for which he paid when the patent was granted to him for 352 acres in 1705. (8d) This land was located on both sides of Darby Creek, near the Goshen Road, and on both sides of Darby-Paoli Road. A branch of the Darby Creek, which flowed through the land, is still called Miles Run. (8) His will mentions a mill on the property.
     (11a) 1705, 27 Aug (6 mo.): Head land was granted to Samuel MILES by the Board of Property on a certificate signed by Benjamin CHAMBERS that MILES had come as a servant to the Free Society of Traders in 1682. William MARSHALL had 76 acres surveyed, of which 50 were in the right of Samuel MILES against his warrant of 3 7ber 1705 requiring Isaac TAYLOR, Surveyor, to lay out to Samuel MILES 11 of month in Township of Bensalem, now Bradford, Chester Co., PA.
     (1c,2a,7a) 1707, 24 Jun (4th mo.): Samuel MILES wrote his will. (8f) 20 Jun (4th mo.) 1707. (1c) Named as legatees his wife (name not given) and children Phebe, Tamar, Ruth, and two unnamed, and his brother Richard. (2a,7a,8f) Of Radnor, Chester Co., PA.

(7a) Daughters Phebe, Tamar and a third unnamed daughter all under age 21. He leaves to his wife a tract of 100 acres adjoining the land of Richard HIEDLING, Richard MILES, and Richard HEDDING on Darby Creek, the half next to his dwelling house, and after her death to his daughter Tamar. The remaining half to his daughter Phebe when she arrives at age 21. (7a,8f) Names his wife executrix. Overseers, brother Richard MILES and friends Stephen BEVAN and Edward REECE. (8f) He assigned all his lands and tenements to his wife Margaret to hold until his oldest daughter reached 21. Margaret was then to have his house, 100 acres of land adjoining it, and the use of his mill for life or as long as she remained a widow. On her death this property was to belong to his daughter Tamar. The rest of the land was divided between his daughters Ruth and Phoebe. All "household stuff" he bequeathed to his wife, as well as 1/4 of all other goods, the other 3/4 to go to his daughters. If his wife remarried, Tamar was to have the property assigned to her immediately and to pay to her five pounds yearly, and Margaret was to restore to the daughters 3 parts of the "household stuff." Tamar was required to pay 1/3 of the appraised value of the mill to each of her sisters. If any daughter wished to sell her land, she was required to give the others a chance to buy.

     1682/3: Came to PA as a Servant "to ye Society." ) Ships bringing colonists in 1681 and 1682 all landed at Upland (now Chester) and remained there until the surveyor arrived in Jun 1682 and told someone that the city of Philadelphia would be farther up the river. Then there was a great scramble of the immigrants to that locality where Dr. JONES found them as squatters, living in huts and makeshift places, hoping to obtain lots in the city, when he arrived 13 Aug 1682 on the "Lyon". William PENN came on 19 Oct 1682 in the "Welcome." The MILES family were not passengers on the "Welcome" as some have claimed, nor on the "Lyon".

     Note: (Research):Radnorshire, Wales, an interior county of east central Wales, bordered by the English counties of Shropshire and Hereford, the Welsh counties of Montgomery on the north, Cardigan on the west, and Brecknock on the west and south. The River Wye forms the boundary between it and Brecknockshire. Radnorshire is an inland district of South Wales, bounded on the north by Montgomeryshire and Shropshire and partly on the south and southwest by Brecknockshire. The reater portion of the surface of the country is hilly and the center is occupied by a mountainous tract called Radnor Forest, running nearly east and west, its highest summit reaching 2163 feet. In the 17th century a number of Quakers came from here to America.

[NOTE: Probably the same lot for which he received a warrant in 1683.] (11c) 1684: A certificate of survey was issued to Samuel MILES, apparently for the lot granted in 1683, between 5th and 6th Streets from Delaware, south by Walnut, formerly Poole Street, apparently by a samll lot No. 158-DB.

     (9) In 1692, George KEITH and 8 of his followers, including Thomas POWELL, accused the Society at the Yearly Meeting at Philadelphia with "lax" discipline and doctrinal impurity" and were disowned. From 1692 to 1695 these separated "Keithian Quakers" held their meetings at POWELL's home at Ridley Creek, Edgemont Twp., Chester Co., with KEITH as their leader. They had appealed to London for vondication, but in 1695 the English Quakers also repudiated KEITH, causing him to "quit" the Quakers and return to England, where 5 years later he became an Anglican priest and missionary. The meetings at POWELL's continued, where a former follower named Able NOBLE turned Seventh Day Baptist minister, convinced some of them to be baptized in Jun 1697. Some from Radnor in the Welsh Tract, including Samuel and Richard MILES, came there to be baptized before 1701. In 1700 the group at POWELL's split in a dispute about the day the Sabbath was to be observed. Those that chose Saturday left the group to form the Seventh Day Baptists at Newton. The group that remained at POWELL's was preached to by the Welsh Episcopalean minister Rev. Evan EVANS.

     (11c) 1703, 28 May (3rd mo.): By warrant dated 18 Feb (12th mo.) 1701/2, there was a resurvey to Samuel MILES of 352 acres in Radnor in Welsh Tract in Newton, bounded by William DAVIS, Richard MILES, and Lewis WALKER.
     (1,4) 1705, 6 Jul (5 mo.): Samuel MILES was issued a patent to various lots for 352 acres, confirming a purchase made by Samuel and Margaret JAMES, Spinster, before leaving Wales. (8c) Acquired a farm of 352 acres, Radnor Twp., Chester Co., PA. Of this, 200 acres had been purchased from Richard DAVIS by Margaret JAMES before her marriage to Samuel MILES and before emigration from Wales. The deeds were dated 19 and 20 Jun 1682. Of the 150 acres he had acquired in 1684 and 1693, he sold 92 acres to his brother Richard. The resurvey showed an overplus of 69 acres, for which he paid when the patent was granted to him for 352 acres in 1705. (8d) This land was located on both sides of Darby Creek, near the Goshen Road, and on both sides of Darby-Paoli Road. A branch of the Darby Creek, which flowed through the land, is still called Miles Run. (8) His will mentions a mill on the property.
     (11a) 1705, 27 Aug (6 mo.): Head land was granted to Samuel MILES by the Board of Property on a certificate signed by Benjamin CHAMBERS that MILES had come as a servant to the Free Society of Traders in 1682.

     (1c,2a,7a) 1707, 24 Jun (4th mo.): Samuel MILES wrote his will. (8f) 20 Jun (4th mo.) 1707. (1c) Named as legatees his wife (name not given) and children Phebe, Tamar, Ruth, and two unnamed, and his brother Richard. (2a,7a,8f) Of Radnor, Chester Co., PA. Witnessed by Edward REES, Richard MILES, David THOMAS, William DAVIES and John REECE. (2a,7a,8) Proved 28 Apr 1708, Philadelphia Co., PA. (7a) Daughters Phebe, Tamar and a third unnamed daughter all under age 21. He leaves to his wife a tract of 100 acres adjoining the land of Richard HIEDLING, Richard MILES, and Richard HEDDING on Darby Creek, the half next to his dwelling house, and after her death to his daughter Tamar. The remaining half to his daughter Phebe when she arrives at age 21. (7a,8f) Names his wife executrix. Overseers, brother Richard MILES and friends Stephen BEVAN and Edward REECE. (8f) He assigned all his lands and tenements to his wife Margaret to hold until his oldest daughter reached 21. Margaret was then to have his house, 100 acres of land adjoining it, and the use of his mill for life or as long as she remained a widow. On her death this property was to belong to his daughter Tamar. The rest of the land was divided between his daughters Ruth and Phoebe. All "household stuff" he bequeathed to his wife, as well as 1/4 of all other goods, the other 3/4 to go to his daughters. If his wife remarried, Tamar was to have the property assigned to her immediately and to pay to her five pounds yearly, and Margaret was to restore to the daughters 3 parts of the "household stuff." Tamar was required to pay 1/3 of the appraised value of the mill to each of her sisters. If any daughter wished to sell her land, she was required to give the others a chance to buy.

William PENN came on 19 Oct 1682 in the "Welcome." The MILES family were not passengers on the "Welcome" as some have claimed, nor on the "Lyon". It is not known whether James' wife accompanied him to America.

     Note: (Research):Radnorshire, Wales, an interior county of east central Wales, bordered by the English counties of Shropshire and Hereford, the Welsh counties of Montgomery on the north, Cardigan on the west, and Brecknock on the west and south. The River Wye forms the boundary between it and Brecknockshire. Radnorshire is an inland district of South Wales, bounded on the north by Montgomeryshire and Shropshire and partly on the south and southwest by Brecknockshire. The reater portion of the surface of the country is hilly and the center is occupied by a mountainous tract called Radnor Forest, running nearly east and west, its highest summit reaching 2163 feet. In the 17th century a number of Quakers came from here to America.

     (12) 1684, 4 Jul: Was granted a lot in Philadelphia, PA by William PENN as a bonus for his previous land purchase. [NOTE: Probably the same lot for which he received a warrant in 1683.] (11c) 1684: A certificate of survey was issued to Samuel MILES, apparently for the lot granted in 1683, between 5th and 6th Streets from Delaware, south by Walnut, formerly Poole Street, apparently by a samll lot No. 158-DB.

From 1692 to 1695 these separated "Keithian Quakers" held their meetings at POWELL's home at Ridley Creek, Edgemont Twp., Chester Co., with KEITH as their leader. They had appealed to London for vondication, but in 1695 the English Quakers also repudiated KEITH, causing him to "quit" the Quakers and return to England, where 5 years later he became an Anglican priest and missionary. The meetings at POWELL's continued, where a former follower named Able NOBLE turned Seventh Day Baptist minister, convinced some of them to be baptized in Jun 1697. Some from Radnor in the Welsh Tract, including Samuel and Richard MILES, came there to be baptized before 1701. In 1700 the group at POWELL's split in a dispute about the day the Sabbath was to be observed. Those that chose Saturday left the group to form the Seventh Day Baptists at Newton.

Of this, 200 acres had been purchased from Richard DAVIS by Margaret JAMES before her marriage to Samuel MILES and before emigration from Wales. The deeds were dated 19 and 20 Jun 1682. Of the 150 acres he had acquired in 1684 and 1693, he sold 92 acres to his brother Richard. The resurvey showed an overplus of 69 acres, for which he paid when the patent was granted to him for 352 acres in 1705. (8d) This land was located on both sides of Darby Creek, near the Goshen Road, and on both sides of Darby-Paoli Road.

On her death this property was to belong to his daughter Tamar. The rest of the land was divided between his daughters Ruth and Phoebe. All "household stuff" he bequeathed to his wife, as well as 1/4 of all other goods, the other 3/4 to go to his daughters. If his wife remarried, Tamar was to have the property assigned to her immediately and to pay to her five pounds yearly, and Margaret was to restore to the daughters 3 parts of the "household stuff." Tamar was required to pay 1/3 of the appraised value of the mill to each of her sisters. If any daughter wished to sell her land, she was required to give the others a chance to buy.

     Musa ibn Fortún ibn Quasi (?) married Unknown (?)

Musa ibn Fortún ibn Quasi (?) died between 789 and 802.⁸
      ; This is the same person as ”Musa ibn Fortún” at Wikipedia (ES) and as ”Musa ibn Fortún” at Wikipédia (FR).^4,3 He was Leader of the Banu Qasi
See the attached map of the Bani Qasi region in the 8th century.

Musa ibn Fortún ibn Quasi (?) was also known as Musa ibn Fortún (?)^6,8

; Per Med Lands:
     "MUSA ibn Fortun ([745]-Zaragoza 789 or Dec 802). Ibn Hazm names "Musa y Zahir" as the sons of "Fortun"[392]. His parentage is confirmed by Al-Udri when he names his descendant "Muhammad ibn Lubb ibn Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Musa ibn Fortun ibn Garsiya"[393]. [Lucas de Tuy records that "ex Chaldeis duos magnos tyrannos…Hienchaza…[et] Alporu cum filio suo Azeth" captured "Muza [et] filius eius Lupus" in battle, dating the event to the reign of "Carolus…magnus Franciæ Rex" (so before he was crowned emperor in 800)[394]. However, the passage is confused and in a later part records the death in battle of "genere eiusdem Muzæ…Garsia", which appears to refer to the son-in-law of Musa ibn Musa who was killed in battle in 859. It is therefore uncertain whether Lucas de Tuy is referring to Musa ibn Fortun or Musa ibn Musa.] Ibn Idari records that Musa ibn Fortun expelled the rebel Said ibn al-Husayn Yahya Ansari from Zaragoza A.H. 172 [10 Jun 788][395]. Ibn al-Athir records that Musa ibn Fortun was murdered by Chahdar, a follower of Said ibn al-Husayn A.H. 173 [789][396]. Al-Udri records that "[Musa ibn Fortun]" rebelled in Zaragoza against "el imam al-Hakam" but died in the same town "en du l-hiyya" A.H. 186 [Dec 802][397].
     "m (x) as her first husband, ---, daughter of ---. She married secondly Íñigo [de Pamplona]. Her two marriages are indicated by Al-Udri who names "Yannaqo ibn Wanniqo" as "hermano de madre de Musa ibn Musa"[398]. Ibn Hayyân names "Musa et son allié Garsiya ibn Wannaqo, emir des Gascons (d'autres dissent que son allié était Furtun ibn Wannaqo, son frère uterin)" and records in a later passage that "Musa ibn Musa al-Qasawi…fut aidé par son frère utérin, le chef de Pampelune, ibn Wannaqo"[399]. Settipani highlights the lively academic debate over whether Musa was the first or second husband of the wife of Íñigo[400]. [The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records the death "era DCCV" of "rex Enneco Garseanes", adding that his wife was "Eximena"[401]. This source is confused and contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records. It is not certain to whom "Enneco Garseanes" refers. It has been decided not to include "Jimena" as the name of the wife of "Íñigo", considering the number of uncertainties in the text.]"
