There was true Christian Love and Friendship between us for 50 years. When I first saw Joseph in Pennsylvania, he lived in a cave in the earth, where we enjoyed each other's Company in the Love and Fear of God. This friend had fifteen children, who he lived to see brought up to the status of men and women, all but two married well to his mind. (Moses and Esther married after Joseph's death.) The Ancestry of Allen Grinnell Cleaver and Martha Irene Jessup -- 172 Allied Families -- Page 437 - 440 William Jessup Cleaver 1989 Gilpin, Joseph, of Dorchester, in the county of Oxford, weaver, son of Thomas Gilpin, of Warborough, in the same county, tallow-chandler, and Joan, his wife, was married, 12, 20, 1691, to Hannah, daughter of ----------- and Alice Glover, of the county of Southampton. They came to Pennsylvania in 1695, and settled on a tract of land in Birmingham township, in Chester (now Delaware) County, which had been given to his wife by an uncle as a marriage present. Their first dwelling was a cave on the side of a hill, such as was frequently used by the early settlers until better structures could be provided. Its exact site can yet be pointed out on the farm late the property of John D. Gilpin, about one mile south of Dilworthstown. Some years thereafter he erected a frame dwelling-house on the site of the present residence of Elias Baker, a short distance west of the cave-dwelling, to which he removed, and where he resided during the remainder of his life. He died in the year 1739, at the age of seventy-five years, leaving to survive him fifteen children and forty-five grandchildren. The ancestry of this family can be traced in a direct line to Richard de Guylpyn, who in the year 1206, during the reign of King John, became the owner of the manor of Kentmere, which was bestowed upon him by the baron of Kendal for deeds of prowess, and, as the name indicates, are of Norman extraction. The farm in Birmingham where the emigrant ancestor settled remained in the Gilpin family until within a few years. That part of it on which the cave-dwelling was situated is now owned by Alban Harvey, and that part whereon he erected the frame dwelling by Elias Baker. In the year 1754 a brick building was erected adjoining this frame one, which was occupied by Gen. Howe as his headquarters while the British army remained in the neighborhood, after the battle of Brandywine, in September 1777. It then belonged to George Gilpin. This brick building is still standing, and forms part of the present residence of Elias Baker. The old frame erected by the emigrant was removed about the year 1835, and the present stone addition built on its site. In tearing down the frame building it was discovered that the outer walls had been filled, in its erection, with adobes, or sun-dried bricks.

A searh for Schingswell fails, a search for Kingscleare finds a Kingsclere, but it is a large village and civil parish in the county of Hampshire. Southton is short for Southampton, Southampton is the largest city on the south coast of England. It is in the county of Hampshire and is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. The city lies roughly in the centre of the coast, at the northern-most point of Southampton Water where it is joined by the River Test and River Itchen, with the River Hamble joining to the south of the urban area. Kingsclere is about 37 miles north of Southampton. http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.britisles.england.wes.general/316.1.2/mb.ashx Information states: m 20th of 12th mo, 1691 at the meeting place at Baghurst, Alton, Southampton, England.
