In Finding The Lost, I made reference to an incident involving one of my ancestors in which the impression is given that he (Evan Prothro) and group of others won a suit against William Penn, first proprietor of Pennsylvania. This incident is described as follows:

In the Welsh Settlement of Pennsylvania by Browning, Evan Prothro is listed as one of the early settlers of Haverford and Radnor Townships. In the June - July 1693 Province Council Minutes, Evan Prothro is listed as one of the several (“some of
the most respectable people of the Welsh Tract”) who employed Nate Mullenex as a ferryman. Apparently, there was some sort of dispute between William Penn and the Welsh Friends beyond the Schuylkill River involving a lease to Philip England. Penn was asserting his right to exclusive ferrying across the river, as a source of income for himself.

It seems that outcome of the suit was the opposite of what I had thought.

This evening I found the transcripts of these proceedings in the "Minutes of the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania" (pub. 1852).

Here is a snippet from Google Books:

The date of this proceeding 7 February 1693/94 at Philadelphia (p 438).

Backtracking to the minutes of June 1693, I find no mention of Evan Prothro, et. al., nor of William Penn. Yet skipping ahead to the minutes of June, 1694 I find at the bottom of page 445...

...and continues at the top of page 446...

So, who won the suit? The Welsh Friends (Evan Prothro, et al.) or the proprietor (William Penn)? It appears that the judgement was in favor of William Penn and the Welsh Friends were made to move their ferry operation four miles away from the ferry of William Penn.
