Individual:
"In lieu of an old debt due Admiral Penn, his son, William Penn, in 1681 became the owner of 40,000 square miles in America. He immediately advertised throughout England, Scotland and Ireland for men to join him on a voyage to his new possession. His terms were as follows:
"Those who wish to sail on board his vessel, the "Welcome", could have land by paying one hundred pounds Sterling for 5,00 acres, and annually thereafter a shilling rent for every hundred acres. Those who did not have money to pay in this way could have 200 acres at less than the rate of a shilling per acre.
"Benjamin raised the necessary money, and sailed on board the "Welcome" in 1682. No doubt he was present when Penn made his famous treaty with the Indians at Chester. Whether Benjamin bought much or little land, will perhaps never be known, but it is established that after a brief stay in America, perhaps two or three years, he returned to Scotland to live." -Trails of the Centuries
