Biography

Lucy Stiles, daughter of Robert Stiles, ^[1] and sister of Robert Stiles, was born about 1660 in Staffordshire, England. ^{[2] [3]}

in contrast to the above cited references, an unsourced FamilySearch Pedigree File shows Bartholomew Stiles and Ann Jones as parents of Lucy Stiles and her brother Robert Stiles. ^[4]

About 1682 Lucy sailed with her brother Robert Stiles from England to the new Colony of Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia Lucy made the acquaintance of John Rudderow, who in 1680 had come to oversee the surveying of the new colony, and who was about to return to England. John's plans changed, however, when he met Lucy. They married and had the following known children: ^{[5] [6]}

He was a surveyor and also had knowledge of Law. After being in Philadelphia for a while he planned to return to England, but met Lucy Stiles and her brother Robert, and decided to stay and marry her. He and Lucy settled on a large plantation between the two branches of Pensauken Creek near Fork Landing. The original survey is dated Tenth month 1684 [i.e., December 1684!] and calls for 650 acres which were surveyed in the names of John Clark and John Rudderow. John and Lucy Stiles Rudderow's children were Mary, Rebecca, Hannah, Ann, Sarah, John, and three whose names are not recorded and who undoubtedly died in infancy."
