William Penn, son of Admiral Sir William Penn, founded the Province of Pennsylvania. He joined the Friends of Society or Quakers when he was 22 years old. The Quakers were strongly persecuted at the time so William Penn decided to travel to the New World. King Charles II of England owed the late Admiral Sir William Penn a large amount of money so as payment, William Penn asked for a tract of land in America.
