Frampton Family Historic Resources
The Frampton name extends from 1066 in Dorsetshire, the County of Dorset, England. Frampton was knighted, made sheriff, had a family crest, and a coat of arms. The Frampton name still exists in England today.
William Frampton, the first Frampton to come to the United States, was a Quaker who came with the earliest settlers. William Frampton owned considerable property in both New York and Philadelphia, where his landholdings included the site of the public wharf. He served as one of the Registrars of Pennsylvania under William Penn and was a keeper of the Great Seal.
William married Elizabeth Potter, and had three children. William served during the Revolutionary War as a Private in the Cumberland County, Pennsylvania Militia of Associators. His brother Nathaniel, also a Private, was his comrade and they fought together.
