Notities over James Miles

James Miles was born 1622 in Llanfihangel, Helygen Parish, Radnorshire, Wales. the parish was the home of the Church of St. Michael by the Willows. the Miles family is traceable for many generations in this neighborhood in the 16th century, and was of considerable importance. the Miles were probably of Flemish descent.
One source implies that James was related to Rev. John Miles (b. 1621), who emigrated with his congregation from Wales to Maryland, where he founded the second Baptist church in America at Swansea.
The mother of Samuel, Richard, Griffith and Ann is unknown. James' second wife, Jane Edwards was supposedly the sister of Griffith's wife.
Radnorshire, is an interior county of east central Wales bordered by the English counties of Shropshire and Hereford on the east, and the Welsh counties of Montgomery on the north, Cardigan on the west, and Brecknock on the west and south. the River Wye forms the boundary between it and Brecknockshire. the greater portion of the surface of the country is hilly and the center is occupied by a mountainous tract called Radnor Forest, running nearly east and west, its highest summit reaching 2163 feet. In the 17th century a number of Quakers emigrated to America.
Ships bringing colonists to Penn's settlement in 1681 and 1682 all landed at Upland (now Chester) and remained there until the surveyor arrived in Jun 1682 and advised them that the city of Philadelphia would be farther up the river. There was then a great scramble of the immigrants to that locality.
Upon his arrival on 13 Aug 1682 on the Lyon, Dr. Jones found them as squatters, living in huts and makeshift places, hoping to obtain lots in the city. William Penn arrived on 19 Oct 1682 aboard the Welcome. the Miles family were not passengers on the Welcome as some have claimed, nor on the Lyon. It is not known whether James' first wife accompanied him to America.
On 27 Jul 1683, James brought a Certificate of Removal to the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting from the Redstone Monthly Meeting held in the Parish of Llanvihangell or Llainhangel Helygen, Radnorshire, Wales.
There is no record that James established his own household in Pennsylvania. He probably lived with one of his sons.
The number of Friends living in Radnor Township was sufficient to establish a meeting there. They met at first at the home of John Jerman (Jarman), a Quaker minister, or at the home of John Evans, soon to be father-in-law of James' son Richard. in 1693, the first permanent meeting house was erected on the present Newton and Conestoga roads. James and his family belonged to this Radnor Meeting.
Richard Miles and Sarah Evans were md. 28 Jun 1688, at the home of John Evans in Radnor, by a Friends ceremony.
Griffith Miles and Bridgett Edward were md. 20 Oct 1692, at the Radnor Meeting.
James was bapt. as an adult in the Pennepack Baptist Church. the records of the church give no date. This church, later called the Lower Dublin Baptist Church, was founded in 1688 in what is now Bustleton, Lower Dublin Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, where James' son Griffith lived. the Miles family seems to have left the Society of Friends abt. 1697.
