buried in All Hallows church cemetery, Birdsville, Anne Arundel Co MD

--
A web page I found gives his father as William Penn 1609 ENG d 1696 Patuxent River MD. William
would have been around 70 when Edward was born, so I suspect there was a generation between them.

Annapolis MD Will Book 7 has a 1696-09-20 will for a William Penn of London. It names 3 sisters, and leaves the rest of his estate to his wife. No children are mentioned.
