Judith was licensed June 3, 1724 to marry Cornelius Ford.
After Ambrose II's wife Sarah died in 1701, Judith took care of him in his home. By 1712 all Judith's sisters were married, and she herself was being courted by James Logan, William Penn's Secretary in the colony of Pennsylvania, then on a visit to England. But some members of the Crowley family were strongly againster her emigrating to America. Her brother-in-law, Sampson Lloyd, wrote to her in 1712, 'I beleive thou maist be satisfied that all thy relations will be against thy removall out of thy Native Countrey...' Judith did not marry James Logan, nor did she marry John Pemberton, the Birmingham Quaker ironmaster to whom she became engaged in 1712 or 1713. Possibly her sense of responsibility to her father influenced her decisions not to marry. She remained at home with her father and did not marry until 1724, four years after his death, when she was 43.
