Research Notes

The Penrose family is descended from Bartholomew Penrose, son of Bartholomew and Dorothy Penrose, of Bristol, England, baptized in St. Stephen's Parish, January 21, 1673-4. He was a shipwright, came to Philadelphia about 1700, established his shipyard, and gained a comfortable fortune by his trade and shipping interests. He married about 1703 Hester, daughter of Tobias Leech, who came to Philadelphia in 1682, died in 1711, and is buried at old Christ Church.[5]

Oof, I'm really confused about the 1850 situation for Hannah. If Taylor's records right and she's the daughter of Ann Norwood and William Penrose, which seems quite likely since one of her sons is literally named Norwood Penrose Hallowell, then her unmarried status in her parent's house in Hosham, Pennslvania in the 1850 federal census contradicts her presence as Morris' wife in the 1850 federal census in Philadelphia.
