REF: "The Quaker Janneys" by Miles White, Jr.

Per "History of the Bye Family" by Arthur E. Bye....The Janneys, who became one of he most prominent families of early Bucks County, had been settled at Wilmslow since the thirteenth century. A family of the same name had been seated in Norfolk from earlier times. The Janneys, or Gyneys were Lords of the Manor of Haverland in Norfolk; there the name was writtn Guynes, Genys, Jennings, Jenny, and Janney. Bloomfield, in his "History of Norfolk" states the family was descended from the Counts of Guynes.

Per Scribners Dictionary of American Biography: There was a Thomas Janney, a Quaker minister and wife Margery of Cheshire England, who migrated to Penn. in 1683. (Most likely kin to our Elizabeth.)
