| Notes |
- Christopher Birckhead II acquired several large parcels of land in Maryland but was a mariner by trade and apparently retained his residence in England. He wrote his will at Bristol on 11 November 1675 and it was proved there on 25 October the next year. He bequeathed his 500-acre plantation in Anne Arundel Co., MD known as "Birkheads" to his wife Joane and son Nehemiah, the latter to have it all after his wife's decease. He gave to his son Solomon 400 acres in Talbot County, MD known as "Bristoll" and "Brickheads Lot" in Anne Arundel County. The rest of his land was given to his son Eleazer. He also gave his wife and son Nehemiah each a 1/16 share in a shop "Society of Bristol"; his ship "Friendship" was bequeathed jointly to Solomon and Eleazer. He also mentioned his brother Abraham and his sister Margaret Smith, a widow.
Christopher Birckhead b. 1630, Parish of St. Mary's Redclift, Bristol, Eng. He was a shipwright & mariner as his family was. He 1st appears among the records of the society of Friends 1654. He was sent to jail for unsolicited preaching in the Anglican Church of St. Stephens, Bristol, Eng. From there he went to New Rochelle, France where he suffered imprisonment for the same unsolicited outcries against the established church. He fled to Holland (Zealand) where he suffered the same punishment. Copies in Dutch & the original of this tract is on file at the Friends Library in London, Eng. The tract was sent from Holland to George Fox, the acknowledged founder of Quakerism in 1657. (Karen Childs on genforum.com)
