• Concerning Charles Woolverton, our ancestor, tradition is that he came to America about the year 1682 along with Sir William Penn, and that he came from Wolverhampton, England, the ‘ham’ meaning town; the ‘ton’ a mound of earthwork for defence, hence meaning the fortified town of Wolfre. This would not conflict with the statement that he sailed from Dorsetshire.4471
