I also noted "A house at Biccurstaff in Ormkirk parish" as I recalled seeing the name Dilworth in Ormskirk parish registers in 17th century.

I don't know if this was a list of Quakers in the town of Lancaster or of those imprisoned in Lancaster Castle. If the latter, they may have been from all over the county. There are other documents in Lancashire Archives relating to Quaker prisoners in the castle.

There's a map of Ribchester and Aighton parishes which shows the townships. Bradley is marked in Thornley with Wheatley township. Dilworth township is adjacent to Thornley with Wheatley.
The Hearth Tax of 1666 is mentioned in the article.

Bradley was held by the Knights Hospitallers. The tenants adopted the name Bradley as their surname. Bradley Hall descended from the Bradley family to the heirs of Alexander Osbaldeston (1660) and was purchased from them by the Earl of Derby in 1764.

Reply #2. Where did you find that information?
The online tree I referred to in my reply #1 has the first generations (1500s-1600s) in the parishes of Chipping and Ribchester and Whalley which are in Lancashire, not far from the border with Yorkshire. The settlement of Dilworth was in Ribchester parish. Dilworth is now part of the town of Longridge, a few miles south of Chipping.  Some later generations were in "P.a" Is that abbreviation for Pennsylvania?
Where were Richard and Jacob born? Where did Richard die?

I wasn't the one who posted it, but Reply #2 looks like it came from the Sons of the American Revolution site, if there is one. I know there is a Daughters of the American Revolution  (DAR) site, which would have been the first place I looked for a possible Revolutionary War soldier.

And Pa was an abbreviation for Pennsylvania. So was Penn., and Penna.

edited to add:
Once you figure out your way around the DAR site, you can see who filed an application for membership and their line of descent from the soldier. Some restrictions on the visibility of the line of descent but I forgot what they are, recentness?, personal choice?, duplication of another line? I don't remember.

The introduction on website of Welcome Society of Pennsylvania (my reply #8) sets out guidelines for inclusion.
I've seen discussions on WikiTree about Daughters of the American Revolution.
Thanks for confirming that Pa is Pennsylvania. While looking for material relating to Quakers in Lancashire Archives catalogue I came across correspondence c.1750 between an emigrant and his relative in Lancashire.

Wow that would be interesting. I know one of the waln daughters bears a likeness to my late sister
