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:

General History of the Swope and Allied Lines , and

The Swope and allied surnames in order of precense in Pennsylvania pages

Also of interest is the relationship between the Scotch Irish and Germans of Pennsylvania.

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

For an overview of the Howard and allied lines see General History of the Howard & Allied Lines from which Links to its first generation members among all Surnames can be found.
See also The Penn Family Manors and their Relevancy to our Pennsylvania Forebears: which discusses the manors and within which will be found links to the manors relevant to the several directs among our Penna forebears and those of our ancestors found within them while the Logans in our Howard ascendancy were instrumental in their development and management.
