Daniel Jones, William Budd, William Budd, Jr., of New Hanover, Daniel Toy, James Dobbins, Sr., and James Galby "and their successors to be elected as in herelnafter subscribed."' The Charter was granted by King George III on October 28, 1766, and ls now the Church's most prized possession.
Among the first church wardens and vestrymen were four of William Budd's sons and grandsons. Many of William and Ann's descendants are buried in the churchyard there. Some of their children and grandchildren moved to Philadelphia and as time passed went on further west so there are thousands of Budd descendants all over the country who can call William Budd, Gentleman, their ancestor.
