Our American Immigrants
Pennsylvania and our history within it is rich and varied,  the result of an  amalgam  of  the Swope and Howard allied lines. It involves early Quakers and influential Pennsylvanians of the Howard Allied ascendancy who helped form  the context and history of the Pennsylvania experienced by our majority of Pennsylvanians:  the Swope allied  German  and Scotch Irish refugees.

The Swope and Allied ascendancy yields German immigrants present at an early date in the colony's evolution [1710  for first arrival and  in form of our mennonites]   and  Scotch Irish evident in likewise its early phases [1720s on and contemporaneous with our first German Reformed and Lutherans arriving at the 
start of that decade] . This Ascendancy relevant to Swope and all allieds involves Philadelphia , Chester, [very briefly Montgomery county] ,  Lancaster, York and
Adams County. Within both the German and Scotch Irish immigrants and their
members  we find some persons pertaining to the manors of the Penn family and 
we find as well patriots in the American Revolution. See:
The Howard allied ascendancy yields many early Quakers and  several 
noteable early Pennsylvanians , including George EMLEN who arrived in 1682,
and  James Logan, Secretary to William Penn, Surveyor General, acting governor, 
etc,  arriving 1699 and a man remarkable in his contribution to Pennsylvania
history in both general and specific terms, involved in likewise a comprehensive 
and personal way in the development of Penn's colony. [See  early settlement of Pennsylvania] . James Logan's position, and that of his 
son, William Logan [also our direct:   Provincial Councillor, attorney to the Penn family]  makes the early Logans relevant to all our Penna surnames whether 
Swope or Howard Allied,  but allows them  a history keenly relevant to the Natives of Pennsylvania and also  the Manors  of the  Penn family in which we find several surnames of the Swope Ascendancy both German and Scotch Irish. The Logan and its allied lines yields direct ancestors  in Pennsylvania  contained primarily to the region of Philadelphia but including Bucks County and Burlington, NJ.just across the Delaware from Philadelphia. 
The Pennsylvania residency of our directs in the Howard ascendancy of all surnames, Logan included, ends  in about 1808, with the marriages of Harriet Logan in 
Virginia, the second of which was to David Howard. 
Pennsylvania pertinence weaved back into this line's general direct history with 
the Swope/Howard marriage occuring in Gettysburg in 1947  but from circa1808 
to 1947 the Pennsylvania connection did not exist for the Howard and its 
Allieds Within the Vines
