https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GR8Z-T83?i=32&wc=3V1X-N3F%3A1585149703%2C1585150013%2C1585150018%3Fcc%3D1804228&cc=1804228
Northern Liberties comes up in reference to Prudence Kartchner, so this is interesting.
A place to gather and share information about the Thomas Willcox and Elizabeth Cole Willcox Family of Ivy Mills, PA. For more information see the Home page link above or contact Deniane Kartchner at Denianek@gmail.com. My husband is a descendant of Thomas and Elizabeth's son James who married Prudence Doyle. Their son John's daughter Prudence married John Christopher Kartchner.
Note: This is a work in progress! I am trying to verify everything before I post, but feel free to send me corrections and/or suggestions. It’s also not a complete history of Ivy Mills or a website for current operations, although I will gladly try to answer any questions and/or lead you to the right information.
I'm currently working on tracing this family back to England through this link:

Will abstract for Deborah Sutton
The following link takes you to the abstract of the will for Deborah Sutton: http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/delaware/wills/s/sutton-d.txt
It's an interesting will; I need to analyze its context! Lots of genealogy info and interesting designations, like one dollar to son William Doyle. I am thinking maybe he already "inherited" the business, (was running it?) etc. and so more was given to daughter Mary Ann.
Will Abstract for Bartholomew Sutton
Bartholomew Sutton is the husband of Deborah Willcox Doyle. I really want to learn more about him; from this abstract alone he strikes me as a man I would greatly admire because of his desire to take care of his stepchildren and the poor, and to put a headstone at the grave of his wife's first husband.

Willcoxes in the History of Philadelphia
The above two pages were copied from the History of Philadelphia, 1609-1884, Volume 3 by John Thomas Scharf, Thompson Westcott
They are extremely valuable in sorting out "who's who" in the Willcox family and especially identifying the following photo:
Thomas Willcox, founder of Ivy Mills in 1729, apparently had three sons:
John - left Pennsylvania and went to North Carolina. John's son, John, Jr. went on to Georgia and Telfair County.
James - stayed in Pennsylvania, didn't help with business management at Ivy Mills but instead managed his own paper mill in Ridley Creek until his death in 1769
Mark - managed the family business at Ivy Mills and upon his father's death inherited the mill which he left to his posterity:
"James M." in the photo above is Mark Willcox's son and Thomas Willcox's grandson. James M.'s sons Mark, James and Joseph are great-grandsons of Thomas Willcox. If I translated correctly....
