From THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and Cope (1881);

pg. 744

  TREVILLER, or TRAVILLA, Katharine, a widow, appears to have arrived in 1699, 
on the ship "Josiah and Betty," with her children, of whom a daughter of the 
same name was only two years old.  The other children were James, who died in 
Marlborough, 1720, unmarried; Henry, who married, in 1720, Mary, daughter of 
Morgan James and died in Marlborough, 1726; Richard, who took up land on Doe Run 
in 1715; and Ann, who married Thomas Stockin, of Whiteland, and after his death 
became the wife of Richard Richison, of that township.
  James purchased, in 1713, 200 acres of the Simcock tract, where the village of 
Londongrove stands, and devised the same to his brother Henry, who purchased 
land near by, in Londongrove township.  Henry's children were Ann, who married 
Samuel Underwood in 1738; Thomas, who married his cousin, Mary James, and was 
living in Philadelphia in 1770; James, who married, at First Presbyterian 
church, Philadelphia, Catharine (Pugh), widow of Benjamin Rhoads, in 1745, and 
removed to York County about 1753, where her daughters by Rhoads married John 
and William Rankin, Tories in the Revolution.  James Travilla returned to this 
county about 1765 with his children.
