Samuel Clift

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Clift (ca. 1610 - 1683) was an early English settler in the Province of Pennsylvania.

Background

[edit]

Clift obtained a grant of 262 acres (106 ha) from Edmund Andros, Provincial Governor of New York, for a plantation across the river from Burlington, New Jersey. Clift established the ferry service between Bristol in Pennsylvania and the New Jersey settlements.[1] He built the King George II Inn in Bristol to service the ferry business. In 1682 he deeded his land and ferry to his son-in-law Joseph English, Jr.[2]

He died in 1683.[2]
