| Notes |
- In 1683, George and his wife Alice, with their six children, came from Worchesterchire to America, and settled at "Home House," in Springfield township, Chester (now Delaware) county, Pa. He was one of the Justices holding the Courts for Chester county, during the years 1684-85-86-87-88-89-91-92-93. Member of the Assembly in 1684-85-86-87-88-90-92-93. Member of the Provincial Council, in the year 1695. He was a Minister in the Society of Friends, a member of Chester Monthy Meeting, and took an active part therein.
- "GEORGE MARIS emigrated from the parish of Inkborough, in the County of Worcester, England, in 1683. with his wife Alice and several children. On his first arrival he appears to have tarried for a short time with the Friends that had arrived the year before and settled at Darby, but he soon located a large tract of land in Springfield township, whereon he settled and named it "The Home House." He was among the most eminent of the public Friends that came over with the first settlers, and was so esteemed in his native country, where meetings had been held in his house, and where he had suffered by fines and imprisonment. His certificate, which is recorded at Darby, says, "He hath adorned the Gospel of Christ." He held many public trusts; was a Justice of the Peace, one of the Judges of the Court, and on several occasions was chosen a member of the Provincial Assembly. He was one of those who signed the testimony against the celebrated George Keith. The descendants of this worthy patriarch are numerous; those bearing his name in this County, Chester County and in the city of Philadelphia, are probably all descended from him.
His death occurred in 1705, at the age of seventy-three years; his wife having died nearly four years earlier. His children, so far as is known, were Elizabeth who intermarried with John Mendenhall; George, with Jane Maddock; Ann, with John Worrilow; John, with Susanna Lewis, of Haverford; and Richard, with Elizabeth Hayes, of Marple."
