He first lived in Boston, where, according to family oral history, he was [https://web.archive.org/web/20101214104838/http://www.chs.helena.k12.mt.us/faculty/awood/presentations/woodppt/colonial/sld023.htm whipped for being a Quaker] before being invited by William Penn to move his merchant business to the new city of Philadelphia. After the sudden death of Deputy Governor Andrew Hamilton in 1703, Shippen, by virtue of being the President of the Provincial Council, became the chief executive of the Province of Pennsylvania. It was during his term that the Lower Three Counties (modern day Delaware) elected their own Assembly and acted in their own interests. These Counties however remained under the Penn Proprietorship and their appointed Deputy Governors until 1776 when Delaware became an independent State.[2] FamilyEdward was born in Methley to his parents, William and Mary, whom were married there on July 16, 1626. Shippen's father was settled in the village of his birth, Monk Fryston, before he migrated to Methley. Monk Fryston is closely linked to the village of Hillam, which was where the Shippen family had hailed from, possibly as early as the thirteenth century according to family tradition. He married Elizabeth Lybrand, a Quaker, in 1671 and became a member of that sect. She died in Boston in 1688. Shippen married, secondly, at Newport, R. I., on September 4, 1689, Rebecca, widow of Francis Richardson, of New York, and daughter of John Howard, of Yorkshire, England. She died in Philadelphia on February 26, 1704 or 1705. He then married at Philadelphia in 1706, Esther, widow of Philip James, and daughter of John Wilcox. She died on August 7, 1724.[3] One of Shippen's grandsons was Continental Congressman William Shippen. A granddaughter was the wife of Philadelphia Mayor Charles Willing, whose daughter was Mary Willing Byrd. Another grandson, Edward Shippen, III, was also a mayor of Philadelphia. Shippen's great-great-granddaughter was Peggy Shippen, wife of Benedict Arnold. Shippen was married to Elizabeth Lybrand in 1671.[4] See also{{Portal|Biography}}
