Notes

I have no documentation to confirm that the mother of Silas Crispin was Anne. There are other accounts that state the mother of Silas to be Rebecca Bradshaw. The information I have found state Capt. William Penn was married at least twice.

Carol Lillevang asked a question on Wikitree G2G which gives interesting information.

"....wrong information about who his wife is/was, which error came from a a book by Rev. William Frost Crispin published in 1901 with the long title/shortened of Captain William Crispin of the British Navy . . . This erroneous information has been picked up and copied by many genealogists over the years but is nevertheless erroneous. Rev. Crispin gives William Crispin's first wife as Anne Jasper and didn't supply any authority for this. However there is support that William Crispin's first wife was Rebecca Penn Bradshaw, who was William Penn's aunt, etc. as Crispin claimed Anne Jasper was. This support includes: (1) The portion of the English census for Lancashire county conducted in 1664-65 by Sir William Dougdale, one of two Kings of Arms for this county, whose report includes his genealogy of the Bradshaw family; (2) William Penn's Will in which he lists "my two nephews James Bradshaw and George Markham", and (3) the naming of this couple's children which reflect family names in the Bradshaw family."
