Questions regarding his place of death
Several family trees try to tie her to the Penn family through the Admiral Sir William's uncle George, but that seems unlikely, and many of those trees have that uncle George dying in Plymouth in 1632- which isn't likely to be true as the Admiral Sir William's will in 1670 refers to his uncle, "George Penn late of the fforest of Brayden in the County of Wilts gent Deceased". Which makes sense, as George was the eldest son and named his grandfather's main heir and executor in the grandfathers 1590/1 will, making him the owner of Penn's Lodge in the vicinity of Minety, Wilts. This points to the likelihood that George Penn also died there and did not go to Plymouth Colony.

I need some help!
Hello, through her granddaughter Ann, I am a direct descendant of Mary Penn, PID 93SH-HQS, and family lore says we are descended from LZRB-YV3 through his son, the Quaker. The pre-created tree tells me that I am a lineal descendant of his paternal grandfather, William. Now, I strongly believe that I am descended from LZRB-YV3 through the Quaker. Anybody who is a more advanced genealogist: Can you please try and help me prove that William Penn (1609-1669) is an ancestor 93SH-HQS?

1621-70, British admiral. In the English civil war he served in Parliament's naval forces, and he joined the pursuit (1651-52) of Prince Rupert in the Mediterranean. He served in the first Dutch War and in 1654 was made commander of the fleet that sailed for the West Indies and captured Jamaica (1655). He was arrested shortly after his return to England and imprisoned briefly before being allowed to retire to his Irish estates. The reason for his disgrace has never been definitely established. It probably had nothing to do with his secret negotiations with the exiled Charles II, who, when restored to the throne, knighted Penn (1660) and made him a commissioner of the navy. In the second Dutch War Penn was second in command to the duke of York (later James II) in the action of the fleet in 1665 and retired to shore duty when the duke was relieved of command. Penn's son was William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001. .....he most certainly was NOT a Quaker, that's for sure, and Wm. Junior choice of religions drove a huge wedge between father and son, that continued for many years. Apparently the father, as a naval officer, looked down upon the religion, as a whole, and pacifism specifically, which he apparently considered weakness....From a bio on the Penn family: "It is reported he (the Admiral) was ashamed of his son William for becoming a devoted Quaker (not manly enough for his military taste)and disowned him for many years much to the pain of William himself who loved his father deeply."

only had three children?

Jenkins, in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography (volume 20, 1896) says that 'Admiral Penn had three children: William the Founder, Richard, and Margaret' (p.21). (available here: https://archive.org/stream/pennsylvaniamaga20histuoft#page/20/mode/2up (accessed 5 January 2017).
Who are the other children listed here? What evidence is there that they are children of William Penn and Margaret Jasper? Should the others be deleted?
