From a biographical sketch by Joan Case:
On September 1, 1682 a band of about one hundred persons set sail from Deal, England on the "Welcome" with William Penn bound for his recently acquired province in the new land across the ocean, where they could worship in freedom. They reached Newcastle, on the Delaware river October 27, 1682, one-third fewer in number because of the ravages of smallpox on shipboard.
Among those who came to the new land were James and Joan Moon and their six children, Sarah, James, Jonas, Jasper, Mary and Roger. The family settled near Fallsington, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on a land grant given them by Penn. the original homesite is said to be a freight yard near Morrisville, Pennsylvania now.
From New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial, by William Richard Cutter (New York: Lewis historical publishing Company, 1915), p. 2158-59:
James Moone … married at Bristol, England, about 1663, Joan Burgess, and brought to America several children of nearly adult age. [They] appeared in Philadelphia, and located near the falls of the Delaware, in Bucks County. [James] purchased a tract of land in Falls township in 1695.
Joan Burgess, wife of James Moone, received a [family] legacy from England in 1695, and obtained a certificate from the Bucks County Court on December 11, of that year, to enable her to receive it. She survived her husband over a quarter of a century, dying December, 1739, in her ninetieth year, at the home of her son Roger, the old home plantation in Falls, the title of which had been transferred from James Jr. to his father and by the latter, in 1706, to Roger.
Children of James and Joan (Burgess) Moon were: Sarah, Jasper, James; Roger, Jonas, Mary.
