A branch settled in Wiltshire, near Mintyre, and from this was descended Admiral William Penn, the father of the founder, who was born in Bristol in 1621.

Hello, I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Cedarville University in Ohio and I taught out of state in West Virginia and Florida for four years. I also worked in telecommunications for 4 years. My grandfather and great uncle went to Saltsburg High School in the 1940's. My grandfather still talks about the 1935 flood! As a result of that flood the local dams were built to prevent flooding.
