History
In June 1675 in Shadwell, England, Roger Pedrick and his wife Rebekah Holeman Pedrick, members of the Society of Friends, purchased 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land from John Fenwick, and shortly thereafter crossed the Atlantic to be in their new home. They originally settled in Chester, Pennsylvania, while their home was being built on their property on the other side of the Delaware. The minutes of the "Men's and Women's Friends Meeting" (a Quaker group) refer to the area as "Pedricks Neck" in the 1720s and the birth records of many of Roger's and Rebekah's descendants list their birthplace as "Pedricksburg."
