PREFACE.
The genealogical MSS. left by Mr. Howard Williams Lloyd con- sist of a number of volumes of notes and correspondence relating to those early settlers in Pennsylvania from whom he was descended, and, incidentally, to some of their relations, neighbours, and pos- terity. The reports which, from time to time, he received from his several correspondents in England and Wales, are included, for the most part, in four folio volumes, and are inserted without classifi- cation, and not always in the order in which they were received.
In common with others engaged in such research, he himself col- lected, and also received from abroad, much data which, eventually, proved to have no bearing whatever on the lines in which he was interested. F'or instance, there are among his MSS. a large number of wills of persons named Pennell, Panall, etc., who died during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in places very distant from Balderton, Notts, where Robert Pennell was born in 1640, and whose connection, if any, with the Notts family must have been exceed- ingly remote. The same thing may be said as to searches in re the Sloper, Newman, Knight, Jackson and other families. There are, likewise, a considerable number of abstracts of Welsh wills, admini- strations, and extracts from parish registers, concerning miscel- laneous Lloyds, Wynnes, Griffiths, and others, none of which relate to persons even remotely connected with the individuals Mr. Lloyd was attempting to trace, or with each other.
Scattered through the MSS., also, are numei dus copies of pedi- grees, from the Heralds Visitations, of families bearing the same names as those from which Mr. Lloyd descended; but the connec- tion, if any, between the two is usually more than problematical. This is exceptionally true as to the Welsh pedigrees, of which there are many, all copied from Dwnn's Visitations of Wales, Lloyd's " History of Powys Fadog," the " Montgomeryshire Collections " and similar publications. All such data can well remain in MS. for the enlightenment or mystification of the curious.
In two of the volumes devoted to the results of searches regarding
vi PREFACE.
the ancestry of Robert Lloyd, and in other vokimes containing material concerning other Welsh ancestors of Mr. Lloyd, will be found much information about other early settlers in Merion, Rad- nor, Haverford, and Gvvynedd, but little of importance is to be found among these notes which has not already appeared in print.
Several volumes contain genealogies of the descendants of the Lloyd, Jones (from John ap Thomas of Merion), and other families. These are of real interest, but, in many cases, owing to confusion in arrangement, are difficult to understand, and, if published, would certainly include many unavoidable errors. As they stand they are certain to be most useful to genealogists.
The most valuable part of Mr. Lloyd's collection consists of data collected from Pennsylvania, English, and Welsh records, relat- ing to those families from which he derived descent, and concerning which, in most cases, little or nothing has heretofore been written. In the few instances where partial records of these families have been printed, Mr. Lloyd has either corrected errors, as in the Awbrey pedigree, or added much interesting information, as in the biograph- ical sketch of John Blunston. In most cases he has traced the families back for several generations prior to their removal to Pennsylvania.
Mr. Lloyd, some years before his death, began the compilation of biographical-genealogical sketches of a number of these early col- onists. His decease left these in the rough and incomplete, his corre- spondence indicating that he expected to add considerably to them when the searches which he had planned were completed.
The following genealogies embrace the most important part of Mr. Lloyd's labours. His rough notes have been carefully com- pared with original transcripts and foreign reports, and the imper- fect sketches completed and edited.
Opportunity has permitted a personal examination of many of the records in England and Wales which Mr. Lloyd cites, and others, not searched by him, bearing on the subject. This has resulted in the verification of some doubtful lines, and additions to others.
It should be mentioned here that Mr. Lloyd had a fixed conviction that the correct way to compile a genealogy was to begin with later generations and add the earlier ones afterwards, and his rough notes were so arranged. This plan, in deference to Mr. Lloyd's opinion,
PREFACE. vii
has, as far as practicable, been carried out, although contrary to accepted methods. In conformity with this theory, Mr. Lloyd always used the word " ascent" instead of " descent," when speaking of anyone's lineage.
Some copies of records of especial interest, relating to Merioneth- shire, Flintshire, and Montgomeryshire, and a few notes regarding the early Welsh colonists, have been added.

A W B R E Y- V A U G H A N .
William Awbrey or as the name has been spelled in later years Aubrey, was a resident of the Parish of Llanelieu, in Brecknockshire, Wales. He was bom, perhaps in that parish, in 1626, and died December i6th, 1716, aged 90 years.
Llanelieu, as described in " The History of Brecknockshire," by Theophilus Jones, is situated to the east of Talgarth. The Church is dedicated to Saint Ellyw, a granddaughter of Brychan Brecheiniog. In Lewis's Topographical Dictionary it states that the parish is in the union of Hay, hundred of Talgarth, and 5 miles southwest by south from Hay, and several ancient mansions are mentioned. One of these, called Llanelieu Court, which is situate near the Church, belonged to the Awbrey family. On the sides of the entrance gate to the grounds are the following inscriptions : —
Excitus acta prohat, 1676. Sic hora sic vita. Deus nobis haec otia fecit, R. A. W. M., Anno Dotnni. . . . Noctua II vola, 1676, W. A. H. I. Non Jupiter quidem omnibus placet. Spes alit exules.
The church is a small ancient edifice, consisting of a nave and chancel; and is situated in a mountain deW, sheltered on the south- east by the Black Mountains.
William Aubrey, the father of Martha who married Rees Thomas of Pennsylvania, is mentioned in a booklet reprinted in 1837, under the following title :
A Collection of Elegiac Poems Devoted to the Memory of the Late Virtu- ous and Excellent Matron and Worthy Elder in the Church of Christ, (of the Society of Friends), Martha Thomas, Late Wife of Rees Thomas, of Merion, in the County of Philada., in the Province of Pennsylvania; And Daughter of William Aubrey of Llan Elew, in the County of Brecknock in Great Britain who departed this life on the 7th of the Twelfth Month, 1726- 27, ..." A Woman that f eareth the Lord, she shall be praised." " Give her the Fruit of her Hands, and let her Works praise her in the Gates." . . . Prov. XXXI, 30, 31. . . . Philadelphia: Printed By Samuel Keimer, In Second Street. MDCCXXVII. Reprinted By Lydia R. Bailey. 1837.

whose lives it has directed. Such happily do appear in every age of the Church, and among them some who shine with peculiar lustre. The subject of this short Memoir, who closed her earthly existence one hundred to ten years ago, being among the number of those whose lights have so shone, that others, having seen her good works, have glorified our Father who is in Heaven, and believing that there are yet those amongst her descendants, (for whom I have been interested to have this reprinted), who may be profited by the perusal, being myself of the fourth generation from her, I therefore submit it most affectionately, wishing that such a portion of the divine spirit may be granted unto us all as to make us wise unto salvation. The original publication, with the first information I ever had on the subject, was handed to me a few days since by my valued friend and relation Eliza- beth Williams, her descendant of the third generation.
The stile of verse is of the kind that was very much adopted by writers of that time in this country, but in the present day not esteemed correct. It is on account of the substance and subject that I value it.

To The Reader, Friendly reader. . . . We are told in the sacred Oracles, "that the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance ; " and there is the highest reason for it, that their virtues might shine; as so many lights, to direct others in the paths of truth and holiness.
Besides which, there is a holy joy oftentimes begot in the souls of the single hearted, in the honest, humble soul, whose life is hid with Christ in God. when it reviews and contemplates on the holy life and blessed end of its departed friend or relation.
The subject of the following lines was a person who comes under the character before mentioned; who, as her life was exemplary, so her memory is, and will be precious to all those who were acquainted with her. Though she had not a public testimony for God in congregated assemblies. }-et her whole life was a continual monitor, and was as a preacher, whether considered as a wife, a mother, an elder in the church, a mistress, a neigh- bour, or a friend.
This worhty elder was so signalised for her virtues that (like her dear, blessed, and ever-to-be-remembered sister in Christ, the late Hannah Hill).
I never could hear that malice or slander ever did so much as attack; a privilege that many of God's dear children do not often enjoy. As her life was righteous, so her death was sweet, and the father of mercies was graciously pleased, (according to her desire) to favour her with her senses, even to her last moments. When her departure drew near, being asked by her husband, " how it was with her," she answered, " she had noth- ing to obstruct her (implying her perfect resignation and peace of soul), and that ever since she had been in this country, (which was about thirty-
. AWBREY-VAUGHAN. 5
five years), she never had strife with any one;" tenderly and affectionately advising her children to walk in the ways of God, and strictly to keep to meetings, which she, in a dying hour, had found so much comfort and sweetness in.
May all her friends and relations, her servants and children, endeavour to imitate her virtues, that as she lived, they may live ; and as she died, they may die, in peace, joy, and love; so that they, with all the faithful, may say, rejoicing with the worthies of old, "whether we live, we live to the Lord, or whether we die, we die to the Lord; whether living or dying, we are the Lord's."

Her ancestors' high fame, so widely spread,
To emulate, she lower paths did tread :
And at Christ's feet, to her, to see, 'twas given They're high that walk the lowly way to Heaven.
In meekness, patience, piety, and love, She sought her native, peaceful home above : Her ripen'd soul, in narrow cell confin'd. Shook off the clog, and left frail dust behind. No cries could stop, nor tears could her retain. Nor sighs, nor groans, can bring her back again. Whilst with one voice, all her praises own, Her works, speak louder, and all voices drown.
Oh could my words an endless trophy raise, To eternize her due and lasting praise!
But my dull Muse, alas ! can't worthily
Transmit her mem'ry to posterity: That task is worthy of angelic skill, And can't be penn'd but by a Cherub's quill.
But oh! she's gone; and we're alas bereaven Of an example steering straight to Heaven.
Yet from all groans, from sighs and tears refrain, When in her offspring she revives again;
They join'd with her in the celestial choir, Where grief and anguish shall annoy no more. Her pious life she wisely order'd so, When dying she had nothing else to do.
TO THE MEMORY OF THAT WORTHY ELDER, MARTHA THOMAS. LATE OF MERION, &C.
The mem'ry of the righteous.
Should e'er be valued high, And with faithful children,
Kept everlastingly. Good Friends all in Merion,
Accept this mite of me. Who loved lowly Martha,
As plainly you may see.
Methinks I see her dwelling
In blissful state on high. In holy, heavenly mansions,
No carnal eye can spy.
AWBREY-VAUGHAN.
She has done with grief and sorrow, And dwelleth now at rest
With her great and good Redeemer, That knew her labour best.
This very tender mother,
True reader, thou may'st see, Will now be daily missed
In Church and family. She, Christian like, was always
An enemy to strife. In truth a godly matron,
And tender loving wife.
Though Martha by her birth,
Sprung from relations high. She shunn'd superfluous pride.
The badge of vanity. Yet to her richest kindred
She never seemed shy. And lived with the faithful
In love and unity.
Both affectionate and pleasant,
She was to rich or poor, Never any suffered want
That came within her door The spirit of the Almighty,
Who teacheth all the best. Remained in this woman,
To be for ever blest.
Truth shined very glorious,
As stars do in the sky. To make her a chosen vessel.
Both fit to live or die. Whom though her loving neighbours
So mightily do miss. She dwells with holy angels
In everlasting bliss.
Martha was approved
In all fidelity, Desiring that her children
Should hate all vanity,
LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
And that the great Almighty, Who loveth virtue best,
If they dwell in his service, Will take them into rest.
She was a strength and refuge
Unto her husband dear, And under God so helpful
His aged heart to cheer. So loved by her neighbours,
I never heard of one, That spake against her living,
But all her death bemoan.
Hearken ye lowly mothers,
All you that knowledge have Of our dear loving sister.
Who lies now in her grave. Her spirit dwells in glory,
With the Almighty One, Although both youths and elders
May now her loss bemoan.
Take after her example.
All you of low degree, That came into this land
Less powerful than she. And let the Holy Spirit
Be now your daily guide. Which led this lowly Christian
In favour out of pride.
Take pattern by the better.
And shun the baser sort. To them that do love virtue,
O' let us all resort. This meek and pious example
Great favour did she find, Among the good and lowly,
In pure and humble mind.
The preachers of the Gospel Who travell'd over sea,
Were kindly by her treated, With hospitality.
AWBREY-VAUGHAN.
I heartily desire,
That her successors may Be as truly kind and loving
In this their time and day.
Her modesty in behaviour,
With meekness was array'd; She left a good example
To every lofty maid. And likewise to her children
She was a star so bright, That nothing without purity
Seem'd comely in her sight.
A very good demeanour
Came with her over sea. And so she did continue
With us a light to be. A remenant will be pleased,
Or very glad to hear Her children are as happy.
And now's their mother dear.
A silly busy body.
That breedeth great discord. The servitude of Satan,
That evil doth afford, A story made of envy,
She'd readily refuse. And would not have her children
Take up with every news.
She ended very happy.
Her soul by grace was saved; Who had the taste of goodness,
Will now the fullness have : God grant that all her children
May walk in wisdom's way. And every one be happy.
Thus Martha's friend doth pray.

ANOTHER BY A DIFFERENT HAND.
Though Martha's gone, and pious souls deplore, Lament, and mourn because she is no more; (No more the comfort of their weary stage. No more companion in their pilgrimage ; No more oppressed with pain we hear her groan; No more the world's unhappiness bemoan). Her mem'ry's ne'er to be intomb'd in dust, Whilst praises are return'd unto the just: More sweet perfume it yields, more fragrant far, Than Arab's gums, than Egypt's spices are. Of whom a word I fain would stammer forth, Rather to ease my grief, than show her worth; And may my feeble pen as faultless run Throughout, as now her spotless life hath done.
The path of peace she trod, the port hath gain'd ; Through faith and patience she the crown obtain'd : The Church's loss is great, and great her gain. And great the loss her household doth sustain : Great loss the neighbourhood, great loss the poor, Who unrelieved never pass'd her door. The humble conduct of her Christian life. All do acknowledge free from guile and strife. Upon her peaceful lips persuasion hung. Such as could charm the most opprobrious tongue; She lived so inoffensively, that none, For aught against her, e'er could hurl a stone. She wisely reconcil'd what once did vary, The cares of Martha with the faithful Mary: And one thing needful was her chiefest care. And Mary's part is now become her share.
Thus pass'd the pious spending of her days,
And all her life was her dear Maker's praise.
Her graceful pattern in her lowly dress.
Hath from her youth declared her loveliness.
No pompous greatness her meek soul did crave
But that which would attend her through the grave.
No minute's rest, nor swiftest thought she sold.
To that loved plague of mankind, sordid gold.
Her soul liv'd cleanly, without soiling fear
And entertain'd her welcome Maker there:
His servants too, who Gospel joys proclaim.
She always lovingly did entertain.
AWBREY-VAUGHAN. 1 1
Her chief delight was still in doing good, Long custom made it like her daily food : And yet ne'er sought reward, or public praise. Before the end of all her toilsome days. That peace and love all parties should unite. She strove incessantly with all her might: For that's our int'rest, our great duty rather. Because we're children of a loving Father : For who so hard, of senses so bereaven Dreams he approaches, quarrelling to Heaven? Oh surely none.
But through forgiveness, patience, faith, and love. Dear Martha reach'd the peaceful land above. A kind and helpful neighbour all her life, A tender mother, and a loving wife; Brought hither by a providential hand. To cherish virtue in this infant land. Her good example seal'd her precepts all Till she to Heaven heard the welcome call. No cries could then retard, nor tears retain. Nor sighs, nor groans, can bring her back again : All tears and fears out-fled, she soar'd above Unto the joyful, glorious realms of love.
Dear souls, that for your loss do live in pain, Live as she liv'd, you'll see her live again.

William Awbrey, father of Martha, is stated to have married his first cousin, EHzabeth Awbrey. This fact is gleaned from an article entitled "Rees Thomas and Martha Awbrey, Early Settlers in Merion" by George Vaux, in the Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog. (Vol. xiii, pages 292 et seq.). In other accounts, par- ticularly that in the History of Brecknockshire by Theophilus Jones, and from it copied into George T. Clark's Genealogies of Morgan and Glamorgan, William Awbrey married his first cousin once removed ; but the wording of Clark's pedigree leaves us in doubt as to the parentage of Thomas Awbrey's father. Following the account of the family as given in "The History of Brecknockshire," Wil- liam Awbrey was a son of Thomas Awbrey. Elizabeth Awbrey was the only child who lived to maturity of William Awbrey son of Richard Awbrey. That both William Awbrey and his wife Eliza-

That William Awbrey afterwards conformed to the usages of the Church of England is proved by his burial in the church-yard of Llanelieu.
The following is the inscription on a tomb erected over his re- mains in Llanelieu church-yard :
Here lyeth the Body of William Awbrey of Llanelyw, son of Thomas Awbrey Gent. Married Elizabeth daughter of William Awbrey. Had issue Ten. Richard, William, 2 Thomas, Theophilus, Anne, Mary, 2 Martha, & Elizabeth. Departed this life in Hope of a Joyful Resurrection, the 16 of December 1716 aged 90.
The figures 2 before the names Thomas and Martha indicate that there were two children of these names. There are tombstone in- scriptions at Llanelieu, showing that the first Martha died in 1662, and the first Thomas in 1669. William Awbrey and Elizabeth were both under age at the time of their marriage in 1646. The father of Elizabeth hastened the event to retain his estate to his descend- ants as will be seen hereafter.

See Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol. XX, page 388.) It appears that William Awbrey, the second son was a widower at the time of his marriage to Letitia Penn. For this fact, see reference to the death of "our brother William his wife," in letter written in 1695 by Rees Thomas and Martha Awbrey to her father.
As there seems, at this writing, to be some doubt whether WilHam Awbrey and his wife EHzabeth Awbrey were first cousins, or whether she was a first cousin once removed, or even more remotely related to her husband ; the ascent of Elizabeth will be given.-
William Awbrey, the husband, was a son of a Thomas Awbrey who is stated by Clark to have died 1669.
Elizabeth Awbrey was an illegitimate and adopted daughter, and said to be the only child to survive to maturity, of William Awbrey. She was bom about the year 1627. Nothing is known of her child- hood. According to Mr. Vaux, her half brother, John Awbrey, who would have been heir to his father's estates, died young and without issue, and her father, finding his death near, hastily married Eliza- beth to William Awbrey, hoping by this means to place his son-in- law in possession of his estate. The marriage occurred in 1646. and, as has already been stated, the bride and groom were both under age. A law suit resulted, instituted by more direct heirs, but the matter was finally compromised in a manner satisfactory to the young couple. (See George Vaux's article in the Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol. xiii.)

Here follows an extract of the will of William Awbrey, the father of Elizabeth :
(From the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, London, Somerset House) Will of William Awbrey of Llanelyu (Llanelieu) co., Brecon, gent., the elder, dated 4 November, 1646. He desires to be buried in the parish church of Llanelyu. He bequeaths the moitie or half of the house called the Hore Moore wherein he now dwells and of the tenements and lands called Bron Llewydd Uchfkiven, bron Llwydd, bron Llwydd issa and those called Tire Penn y loyne and also the leasehold lands in Governk Loyd unto Johan his wife for the term of six years after his decease towards her maintenance and the other moietie in like manner towards the education and maintenance of William Awbrey the son of Thomas Awbrey my son-in-law and Elizabeth his wife, "my reputed daughter." After the expiration of the six years the property is to go to Joan his wife for her life and afterwards to his son-in- law William Awbrey and the heirs of him and Elizabeth his wife. He mentions the house and lands of Llanelyu wherein his father Richard Awbrey (lately deceased) resided.
He appoints William Awbrey his son-in-law executor and Thomas Hutchins, John Watkins, William Thomas, and William Preece to administer during the minority of William Awbrey. Proved 20 September, 1647. Fines 194,
Richard Awbrey, the father of William, and referred to in the latter's will, is believed to have been the first of the name at Llane- lieu, and is supposed to have been identical with the Richard Awbrey who married Anne, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of Wil- liam Vaughan of Llanelieu.
This Richard Awbrey died but a short time before his son Wil- liam. In the " History of Brecknockshire," by Jones, the date 1645 is given for the death of Richard Awbrey, husband of Anne Vaughan. Jones, however, mentions another Richard, father of William, who died in 1649; but there is, apparently, a mistake in stating that there were two Richards. In the same history it says, that the church, consists of a naive and chancel &c. Near the com- munion table, on a stone, the letters in relief :

The following account of the ancestry of Richard Awbrey, who married a daughter of Thomas Gunter of Gilestone, is taken from George T. Clark's " Limbus Patrum Morganiae et Glamorganiae," being " The Genealogies of the Older Families of the Lordships of Morgan and Glamorgan." London, 1866.
Richard Awbrey, of Abercynrig, sold that estate to Dr. William Awbrey. He married, as already stated, a daughter of Thomas Gunter of Gilestone.
The Manor of Gilestone was given to Sir Giles Pierrepoint by Bernard Newmarch, when after the conquest of Breconshire, in 1088 to 1092, he distributed the conquered domain among his fol- lowers. To Sir Peter Gunter he gave the manor of Tregunter or Gunterstone. To Sir Reginald Awbrey he gave the manors of Aber- cynrig and Slwch.
According to the " History of Brecknockshire," by Jones, the ancestry of Thomas Gunter was as follows, Thomas Gunter married Gwladis daughter of Morgan leuan Morgan. He was a son of Howel Gunter who married Margery daughter of Richard Lewis of Abercanaid, who was a son of William Gunter who married Margaret a daughter of Thomas Griffith ap Owen, who was a son of Jenkin Gunter who married Margaret daughter of Gwilym ap Rhys Llwyd, who was a son of William Gunter of Gileston who married Lucy daughter of Meredith ap Madoc Havard, son of Watkin Gunter who married a daughter of Pierrepoint of Gileston, son of Richard Gunter by Cissil daughter of Morgan Bois, son of John Gunter, son of Wil- liam Gunter, son of Philip Gunter, son of William Gunter, son of William Gunter who married Jennet daughter of Sir Richard Bois, son of Sir Peter Gunter by Jane daughter of Sir Reginald Awbrey, living 1088.
* This is not proved. There is, at present, no certainty that the Awbreys held the Manor of Llanelieu.

John Awbrey of Abercynfrig is said to have married a daughter of William Thomas of Cwrt Rhaidr, and to have had, Walter, WilUam, Jane, who married Sir Miles Skull Knt, and a daughter married to John ap David John.
John Awbrey is stated to have been a son of Richard Awbrey, who married Crisly, daughter of Philip ap Elidur of Llandeilo- vawr, Richard Awbrey was a son of Thomas Awbrey, called some- times Thomas Awbrey-hen and also Y Constahlcoch (the red con- stable), being Constable or ranger of Brecknock forest, and married Nest, daughter of Owen Gethyn of Glyn Tawe. He was a son of another Thomas Awbrey, also ranger of Brecknock forest, and custos of that castle, who married Joan, daughter of Treharne ap Einon. Thomas Awbrey was a son of still another Thomas Awbrey, who, it is stated, married Joan, a daughter of John, Lord Carew. This Thomas was a son of William de Sto Alberico, or Awbrey, of Abercynfrig, who married Joan, daughter of Sir William Gunter. William de Sto Alberico was a son of Sir Reginald de Sancto Alberico who was a companion of Bernard Newmarch in the con- quest of Brecknock, where he is reputed to have won Abercynfrig and Slwch, and who married Isabel, daughter of Richard de Clare. Sir Reginald was a son of Saunders de Sancto Alberico, or de Alta Ripa, who is said to have been a brother of Alberic, Earl of Bou- logne and Danmartin and Earl Fareschal of France, in 1066.
Clark states that " The family of Awbrey is of high antiquity in Brecknock." The earlier descents of the recorded pedigree are without authority, and it is quite evident that the five hundred years intervening between the founder and the eighth in line of descent, could not have been spanned by the number of generations given. The following references to the Awbrey pedigree may be noted.
Notes on the Awbrey Pedigree. Vol. ii, Lewis Dwnn's Visita- tions of Wales, page 40, footnote I :
Vincent (No. 136, folio 867, in the College of Arms) gives a good pedi- gree of the Awbrey family deduced from Saint Awbrey of the Blood Royal of France; who came into England with the Conqueror as appears by an ancient Chronicle in All Souls' College, Oxford, and which is recited in Debrett's Baronetage.
The pedigree of the Awbrey family as given in the "Llyfr Achau" included in Lewis Dwnn's Welsh Visitations, Vol. ii, page 57, begins as follows:
AWBREY-VAUGHAN. 19
" Stiant Awbrey, a second brother to the L. awbrey earlle of BiiUen and carle Marchall of Ffraunce ca., to England with Wm., ye Conqueror in Anno Dom 1066."
Whether the generations are correct down to circa 1500, or not, the fact remains that the origin of the Awbrey family of Brecknock- shire appears to have been in the overrunning of that country by one of the followers of William the Conqueror, a Norman named Alberico, Awberico, or Awbrey, whose descendants remained in the conquered country.
It is presumed that the Awbrey's of Llanelieu, became seized of lands in that parish through the marriage of Richard Awbrey with Ann, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of the Vaughans. The origin of this Vaughan family appears to be uncertain. The Welsh Herald Lewis Dwnn deriving them from one prepositus, while Theophilus Jones the historian of Brecknockshire states that they descend from an illegitimate offshoot of the Vaughans of Porthaml in Talgarth, Brecknockshire, who were a branch of the Vaughans of Tretower, who were from Sir Roger Ivanc or Vychan, " the younger" of Bredwardine. Both accounts will be given with the statements that accompany them.

This pedigree was signed by John Vaughan, Custom-house officer of Mil- ford-haven ; the herald received 5 shillings for his trouble in making and entering the same in the proper book, in the year 1591.
So much for the account as given in Dwnn's Visitations. In the Introduction to Vol. i, p. xxv, there is the following comment on the general accuracy of Lewis Dwnn. It might be well to state before quoting that these two volumes were edited by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, Knt., of Goodrich Court, Gwent is Coed, 1846:
Page xxv: "Indeed, it is the reputation for accuracy which Lewis Dwnn's Visitations possess generally in the Principality, that has induced the Welsh Manuscripts Society to give them preference of publication to the pedigrees of levan Brechva &c.''
" Mr. Morris of Shrewsbury, speaking of the South Wales Collection, says : " I have had several opportunities of testing Lewys Dwnn's pedigrees, by deeds and other authentic records, and have always found them singularly correct, notwithstanding the apparent barbarism of his spelling. The pedigree page 127 is an instance. Theophilus Jones, in his History of Breconshire, speaks of the Vaughans of Tyle Glas, &c., but does not (for he probably had not the means of doing so) shew their descent, which Lewys Dwnn clearly traces, from an offset of the family of Stanely, Earls of Derby, that had settled in South Wales."
On the other hand it would seem from the account by Theophilus Jones, as if the family desired to cover up the statement that the line of descent was from an illegitimate son of a Vaughan family. Perhaps for that reason the device of a Cornish chough with an ermine spot in its beak, was chosen. As it will be seen, one of the alliances is with the family of Llewelyn ap Gruffydd of Ruthin, who was probably descended from Llowarch ab Bran, whose arms are those quartered by John Vaughan, the Custom House Officer.
22 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
Jones in his account of Llanelieu, in a footnote, says : " This WilHam Vaughan (i. e., the father of Anne who married Richard Awbrey) was descended from Robert Vaughan, a natural son of the first Roger Vaughan of Porthaml, who in his will made in the early part of the reign of Elizabeth, is described to be of Saint Keline's. On page 365, in the account of the parish of Llanigon Jones states :
" At a little distance south west of the village commences the hamlet called Cilonw in which are the ruins of an old chapel. This is probably a cor- ruption of Celin, a saint of the sixth century, and son of Caw ap Geraint ap Erbin, who was driven out of the North of England by the Picts, and settled an Anglesa, for in 1576 I find a Robert Vaughan, who describes him- self in his will to be of the parish of St. Kellines and desires to be buried at Llanelieu, in which parish part of his estate laj-, his youngest son was Thomas Vaughan, to whom he devises as follows, " I give to Thomas Vaughan all the corn growing on my lands in Llanelieu and all the remainder of my goods excepting my chaire my gowne and nine pieces (pieces of writing) of evidence concerning the lands in Llanelieu, being in the hands of my son John Vaughan to persue them which he promised to deliver to me, and which I further will to be delivered to my eldest son William Vaughan, who hath a right thereunto, whereof some of the evidences here date in king Edward the third's time. "From this request to be buried in Llanelieu, it should seem that the church or chapel of Saint Celin's was either fallen or in ruins in his time."
This Robert Vaughan was, of course, the grandfather of Anne who married Richard Awbrey. If Jones is correct, then this Robert Vaughan was either of Bronllys or of Tregunter. Llanelieu is a short distance to the east of Talgarth. In the latter place is Tregunter. About a mile to the west of Talgarth is Bronllys, which is about three miles from Llanelieu. The first Sir Roger Vaughan of Porthaml in Talgarth was an M.P., for Brecknockshire in 1547, 1552, 53, 54, 58, and knighted about 1550. He had six legitimate children and four base. (Clark's Glamorgan Genealogies gives him seven legitimate children.) Of the base issue, there were two sons named alike. Robert of Bronllys and Robert of Tregunter.
Sir Roger Vaughan was the second son of Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower, county Brecon, Lord of Cantreff-SeliflF, Penkelly, Merthr- Cynog, Llandrimore, in Gower, Llanvachan and Pencoed in CantreflF- Seliff. Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower married first, Denise, daughter of Thomas ap Philip Vaughan of Tyle-Glas. As the Vaughans of Tyle-Glas were thus connected with the Vaughans of
AWBREY-VAUGHAN. 23
Tretower and Porthaml, it is possible as has already been stated, that the Vaughans of Llanelieu claimed in the male line from the Vaughans of Tyle-Glas to cover their descent from the illegitimate branch of the Vaughans of Porthaml.
In the Index Library, British Records Society, there is an Index of wills probated at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury from the earliest to 1583. In the list is the following. 1523. Gilbert, Nicholas, Oldcastle, Monmouthshire, 17 Bodfelde. Here follows a very full abstract of this will :

According to the pedigree of the Vaughans as given in Dwnn's Visitations and referred to above, the mother of Sioned (Johan) Gilbert was Joan Pye. This statement seems to be distinct and con- clusive. One reading of the will would seem to indicate that both daughters of the name of Johan were by the last wife or Gwenllyan Scudamore. Nicholas Gilbert undoubtedly had a wife named Johan
AWBREY-VAUGHAN. 25
Appye, or Pye, by whom he had issue. Having two daughters of the same name, would seem to indicate that one was by the first wife and the other by the last wife. Certainly, John Vaughan who signed the pedigree would know the name of his grandmother. According to the Visitations of Herefordshire, made in 1569, Richard Minors of Pengarson Green " in ye parish of Caraway in county Hereford " married Margaret daughter of Nicholas Gilbert of Llancilo in county Hereford. Margaret does not appear in the will as the name of a daughter. It may be a mistake for Ellinor. The name of her mother is not given in the Visitation pedigree.
THE PROVED PEDIGREE OF MARTHA AWBREY.
The following chart compiled from the foregoing data shows that Mr. Lloyd's notes do not agree with the heretofore accepted pedigree of Martha Awbrey, wife of Rees Thomas of Merion, as contributed to the Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog. (Vol. XHI) by Mr. George Vaux, nor with that by Jones in his " History of Brecnockshire," and Clark's version of the latter compilation. The facts are these :
(o) There is at present no evidence produced to prove that Richard Awbrey of the parish of Llaneleu, who resided in a house also so called, who died before 4 November, 1646, and who, unquestionably, was the father of William Awbrey of Hore More, in the parish of Llaneleu (will dated 4 No- vember, 1646) is identical with the Richard Awbrey who married, supposedly about 1550-1560, Anne, daughter of WiUiam Vaughan, eldest son and heir of Robert Vaughan of the parish of St. Kellines, a part of whose estate lay in Llaneleu, or that he was the same Richard who died 1645, whose tomb is at Llaneleu Church. According to Clark and others, Richard and Anne Awbrey had William, eldest son and heir, and Richard, who died in 1649. The latter is stated by the same author to have been the grandfather of Ehzabeth Awbrey who married William Awbrey, son of Thomas, son of a William Awbrey. Who this last William was is not clearly indicated, but Thomas is stated to have died in 1669. The Vaughans did not own all of the parish of Llaneleu; only certain lands there. It is not ascertained that they held Llaneleu Mansion. Robret Vaughan, the grandfather of Ann, wife of Richard Awbrey, is described in the Visitations as of Tyleglass, and in his will of 1576, he calls himself of the parish of St. Kellines. William Vaughan, however, is called of Llaneleu in 1591, and certainly inherited lands in that parish. Of course if it could be shown that the lands named in the will of William Awbrey of Hore Moor (dated 4 November, 1646) had once belonged to William Vaughan, the case would be simplified. Doubt, however, would remain as to whether William Awbrey (will 1646) was the son, grandson, or nephew of the Richard who married Ann Vaughan; the evidence points to his being a grandson.
LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
(b) Elizabeth Awbrey, according to the legal phraseology of that day was the " reputed daughter " of William Awbrey of Hore Moor, parish of Llane- leu, and is so described in her father's will of 4 November, 1646, which is to say that she was illegitimate, and had been adopted. Hence the action at law to upset the will. See legal proceedings in Chancery.
(c) The ancestry of William Awbrey of Llaneleu, the father of Martha, wife of Rees Thomas, is uncertain beyond his father, Thomas, who, accord- ing to Clark, died 1669. The statement that he was a cousin of Elizabeth Awbrey, his wife, rests on the faintest tradition, and might have originally meant quite a distant kinship. The statement by Clark is the most probable one.
All that is certain regarding Martha Awbrey's ancestry, in the light of Mr. Lloyd's research, is as follows:

BLUNSTON.
John Blunston, Jr., son of John Blunston and Sarah Bicker- staffe, was born in Darby, 6th month 29th, 1685, and died there 8th month 3rd, 1716.
On 9th month 12th, 1707, at Darby Friends' Meeting House, he married Ann Hunt. She was born 12th month 14th, 1688, in Kingsessing, Philadelphia County, and died in Darby, ist month 26th, 175 1, and was daughter of James Hunt, of Kingsessing by his second wife Elizabeth Bonsall (widow), of Darby.
After the death of John Blunston, Jr., his widow married, 12th month, 1719, Nathan Gibson (by a magistrate; Darby Monthly Meeting Minutes). He died 2nd month 15th, 1757. The children of Nathan Gibson and Ann Blunston, widow, were: Joshua, born 1st month 30th, 1720, David, born 9th month, 30th, 1721, and Ann, born nth month 22nd, 1729/30.
John Blunston, Jr., was a farmer, and is designated "yeoman" in the notice of his marriage in Darby Monthly Meeting books. Like his father was interested in public affairs.
By Act of Assembly passed in 1696, it was provided that at the time of election of members of Assembly, six persons should be chosen for assessors in each county. In 1710, John Blunston, Jr., and five others were chosen for Chester County, and were to receive four shillings per day for their services. (Futhey & Cope's "History of Chester Co.," p. 376.) On May 13th, 1713, he was commissioned with seven others, one of the Justices of the Peace for Chester County, and again on May 30th and June nth, 1715. These last appointments being necessary on account of the death of Queen Anne and the accession of George I., who was crowned on the 20th of October, 1714.
On October 14th, 1713, John Blunston, Jr., and seven others were elected to represent Chester County in the Assembly which met yearly on the 20th of the Second month (April). He was re-elected on October 15th, 1716, but in the meantime died, and a writ for electing some one in his place was issued 8th month i6th, 1716.

John Blunston was born in England, in the year 1644. An account of him was prepared by one of his descendants, and printed in a Darby, Pennsylvania, newspaper, in 1893. This article is so complete that it is here quoted almost in full, with additions and notes from data lately acquired. A few corrections have also been made.
From the " Darby Progress," Darby, Pennsylvania, Friday, April 7th, 1893. " Some Early Settlers in and About Darby." By Morgan Bunting.
John Blunston.
Upon the receipt of the royal Charter for his Province of Penn- sylvania, in 1681, William Penn immediately published it together with a description and account of the new country, oflfering favor- able and easy terms for the sale of land and in every way possible encouraged emigration, not however without caution and kindly advice to those who might hastily or rashly decide to brave the hardships of a new and savage land.
Purchasers soon appeared, among these a number who formed a Company and received " divers Immunities and Priviledges by Grant and Charter from William Penn the Governour of that Province."
This was the noted Free Society of Traders, which, as they themselves say in their printed Articles, was " a very Unusual Society, for it is an Absolute Free One, and in a Free Country: a Society without Oppression; where in all may be concerned that wilt : and yet have the same Liberty of private Traffique, as though there were no Society at all."
Among the early subscribers to this Society was "John Blunston darbieshire, W.S. — £ 50," under date of April 26, 1682. In the fol-
BLUNSTON. 33
lowing July he, being a Friend, obtained a certificate of removal from his Monthly Meeting, and with his family and other Friends embarked for the new world. A copy of this certificate is pre- served in the original book of minutes of Darby Monthly Meeting of Friends and is as follows :
This is to Certife to them whom it may Concern that John Blunston of Little Hallam In ye County of Darby hath it in his mind to Transporte him- self into Pensilvania in America : that ye said John Blunston hath walked orderly & soo far forth as we know is Cleare upon all Accounts.

The exact date of his arrival in Darby is not known, but it is probable that he came some time before the Proprietor. He had purchased in England from William Penn 1500 acres of land by papers of Lease and Release dated April lo-ii, 1682. Portions of this purchase were " Surveyed and laid out the loth of the 7th mo;, 1682, by virtue of a warrant from Captain Markham and Comm'rs dated 24th of 6th mo., 1682. These were two tracts one of 350 and the other of 150 acres. The former embraced the land now bounded by Darby creek. First avenue. Church lane and Bunting street, together with a tract of 100 acres on the west side of Blunston's run and Mill or Cobb's creek. A portion of this purchase is still owned and occupied by some of his descendants. The second tract was situated directly on the north of the present boundary line between Darby and Upper Darby Townships and extended from Darby creek to Cobb's creek. Other portions of this purchase of 150 acres were surveyed and laid out in other portions of the county in the next subsequent years.
The following is not found in Mr. Bunting's article.
From Henry Graham Ashmead's " History of Delaware County," P^ge 532, Upper Darby Township. "At the southwestern limit of the township was a tract of 150 acres, to which the name ' Primos ' 4

was given on July 12th, 1683, and was surveyed to John Blunston, which subsequently, June 6th, 1688, became the property of Thomas Hood." To resume the narrative from the " Progress."
An examination of old deeds shows that John Blunston very often acted as Attorney for owners in England, for the sale and transfer of their lands in Pennsylvania.
It has been stated that John Blunston was a member of the Gov- ernor's Council, which met at Chester loth month (Dec.) 4th, 1682, but we have been able to find no proof of this, no record of the members having been kept. He was however a member of the Second Assembly, which met in Philadelphia on the 12th of March of the following year. The new Frame of Government of the Province prepared by Penn was laid before this Council and Assem- bly and accepted by them on the 30th of the same month. John Blunston's name appears in the list of the members of Assembly present at the time. He was elected again in 1684, as the following copy of the return made by the Sheriff of the election for Chester County shows:
" I have accordingly made my Summons of the free holders who hath made Choise of those persons following for the purpose aforesaid by which I thus make my return for the provincial Concil.
For Assembly, John Blunston,
I Heare Declare that they was Lafully Chosen and may freely Appear to make up an Assembly according to Charter, in witness w'hereunto I sett my hand and seall the loth 3d month, 1684.
Th. Withers"
In 1685 occurred the impeachment of Nicholas Moore, a member of Assembly and Provincial Judge, for mal-practices. At the hear- ing before the Council, John Blunston was one of the six members of the Assembly appointed to represent that body. John Blunston's name appears as member of Assembly in 1686-87-88. It is probable that he was a member of the Council in 1689 for we find that in 1690, "John Blunston having declined to serve any longer as a mem- ber of Council from Chester County, William Howell was elected to serve in his stead."
He was again elected to the Assembly in 1695, 1696 and 1701, and was speaker of that body in 1697, 1699 and 1700.

On the 23rd November, 1700, at Xew Castle, he was again present. His name appears as having been in attendance at the several meet- ings of the Council held at Philadelphia up to and including the 23rd of the 6th month, 1701, but at the meeting held the 15th of 7br (September), 1701, he was returned as a member of Assembly from Chester County.
In 1701 it became necessary for Penn to return a second time to England to look after the security of his title to Pennsylvania which had been threatened in Parliament. Before leaving he granted a Charter of Privileges and appointed a Council of State to assist him and his Deputies in the government of the Province. John Blun- ston was one of this Council.

William Penn Recorded in the Rolls Office at Philadelphia, in Patent Book A, vol. 2. page 154, 15s, this nth of 9th month, 1701.
By me, Thos. Story
At a meeting of The Provincial Council, held at Philadelphia, on the 4th of 3rd month, 1703, John Blunston was present; his name appears, recorded as being present at the different meetings of the Council, down to and including that of the 19th of 6th month, 1704.
On the 2d of 3d month, 1683, a Grand Jury of which John Blun- ston was a member, was summoned on the case of one Pickering and two confederates, who had made and circulated counterfeit coin. This, Proud says, was the first Grand Jury summoned in Pennsyl- vania. Dr. Smith denies this, and with reason, for there is a record of a Grand Jury being summoned, to attend the Upland Court held at 1 2th of September, 1682.
The first Court of Equity for Chester County was held in 1686. John Blunston was one of the Justices, as the following record shows :
Att a Court of Equity held at Chester the Sth day in the ist week of the loth month, 1686, Commissioners present, —
John Blunston, John Simcocke, George Maris, Bartholomew Coppock, Samuel Levis, Robert Wade, Robert Pile, — Robert Eyre, Clerk.
BLUNSTON. 39
John Blunston was re-appointed Commissioner for Chester County 1st month 19th, 1689 and again in 1690. He also held the position in 1697, as a deed bearing date "9th day of the 4th mo., called June, An. Dom. 1697" was acknowledged to "John Sime- cocke, John Blunston, Samuel Levis, Jasper yeates and Jonathan Hayes, the Justices of the County, for all that piece of land whereon the new Court House stands, contayning in breadth to street twenty-nine foot back to Chester creek, unto them and their suck- sessors for ever."
John Blunston held the position of Justice of the Peace for many years, the following dates of appointments are given, June 19th, 1684, April 6th, 1685, November 2d, 1689.
In 1698 he still held this position, for in that year Richard Bonsall having interposed objections to the marriage of his daughter Ann to Josiah Hibberd, the monthly meeting appointed a committee to see Richard and learn his reasons. These were evidently satisfactory, for the Committee " having spoke to Richard Bonsall ye reasons which he gave was satisfaction to ye meeting at present."
Josiah and Ann, however, nothing daunted, immediately went be- fore John Blunston, Justice of the Peace, himself a pillar in the meeting, and at his house on the 9th of the 9th month were united in marriage.
At the next monthly meeting a committee was named " to speak to Josiah Hibberd and Ann his wife to se what satisfaction they will • Give to ffriends belonging to this meeting for there Missdemenor and to bring there returns to the next monthly meeting." The rea- sons given by the couple were accepted by the meeting, and it does not appear that any blame whatever was attached to John Blunston for the part he took in the affair.
In 1687, the year in which was laid out the road from Darby to Haverford, the Provincial Council ordered Barnabas Wilcox, Thos. Duckett, with John Blunston and Joshua Fearne, " to view or agree upon a convenient road from Darby to ye ferry of Philadelphia."
The following is from Futhey and Cope's " Chester County."
" There had been a dispute about the division of the ' Welsh Tract/ the Welsh claiming that they had a separate * Barony,' or grant of land, in which they had the right to make their own laws &c. This right had been set aside, and the tract divided."

The Welsh declined to recognize the division that had been made previously, and this led to the following proceedings : In Council, I, 25, 1689:

"was signed John Blunston."
Several other depositions were presented, signed by Rand'll Ver- non, Thomas Vsher (Usher), and others. This Welsh Tract dispute lasted for some years, but was at last decided adversely to the Welsh.
Such are some of the records which relate to the public services of John Blunston, and from these it will be seen that he must have been a man of some education, of weight in the community and worthy of the esteem of his fellow citizens. All great men, it is said, have their enemies, and so perhaps the following incident may add addi- tional evidence to our knowledge of the regard in which he was held.
It appears from the minutes of Darby Monthly Meeting (1708) that a member brought a complaint against John Blunston before a certain meeting, which however had but little weight, as the follow- ing minute indicates :
" The meeting having used Endeavors with ... to acknowledge and make satisfaction for a disorderly Charge broaght into this meeting against John Blunston Insinuating as he in a Quarterly meeting has said he hated Evidence and he the said . . . further added that he was not fit to be Concerned neither in Church or State and it being an offence to t'.ie Church and though the meeting have Labored with him acknowledg his wrong done he still refuses to doo it; Therefore this meeting doe testifie against the said ... to be out of Unity with the meeting till he doo acknowledg and Condemn his Charg to the satisfaction of this monthly meeting."
The early history of Darby Meeting is closely connected with that of John Blunston. The early meetings, beginning in all probability in 1682 (though there are no minutes before the 2d day of the 5th month, 1684), and continuing up to 1688, were held at his house, which is said to have stood near the mill race, about opposite the present meeting property.
He was very often employed by his monthly meeting to represent it in the Quarterly meetings, and as a member of important com- mittees, &c.
He also appeared in the ministry, and is said to have had a "lively gift" in that direction; there is however no record of his traveling with certificates or minutes from his meeting. He was present at a meeting of Ministers in Philadelphia in 17 19, a few years before his death. He was also often employed in Yearly
42 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
meeting appointments and other society matters. In 1692 the minutes of the Ministering Friends say he stood firm against the spirit of division as manifested in George Keith and his adherents, and his name is attached to the " Declaration, or Testimony of Denial," which was drawn up against Keith, at a meeting of Min- isters in Philadelphia, in the 4th month of that year.
John Blunston was opposed to the institution of negro slavery and, it is said, " did his utmost to prepare Friends for an extension of the testimony against that inquitous practice, yet he lived in love with his brethren who had not seen so far as he had."
In 1687 John Blunston acknowledged a deed in open Court " for one acre of land in the township of Darby, to build a meeting house thereon, to the use of the said township forever, to exercise the true worship of God therein."
In 1702, he, by deed dated 5th day of 6th month, conveyed 3^4 acres of land to Edmund Cardlidge, Thos. Worth, Michael Blun- ston and John Wood. This must have included the grant of 1687, and is the ground now occupied by the graveyard and school. The first burial recorded on the Darby Meeting books was that of " Georg Wood, sonne of Georg Wood and Anne his wife, deceased ye 7th day of 10 mo. 1682, and was buried in ye burying place in Darby."
This burying place was probably the same ground which was afterwards conveyed in the deed of 1687, and later in the deed of 1702, and in early times was evidently used as a burial ground for all, whether Friends or not. The following minute seems to indi- cate this:
" Att a monthly meeting at Darby the 6th day of the 9th mo. 1705 It being Layed before the yearly meeting by the Quarterly meeting of Philadelphia how much they are Grieved and disatisfied with Grave Stone and monuments over or about the Graves in ffriends Buring Grounds, this meeting takeing the matter into there consideration doo find it as their Sence and Judgment that it is altogether wrong and of evill Tendency for to have any Grave Stones or any other sort of monument over or about the Graves in any of ffriends Buring Grounds and further that those monuments that are already in the Buring Grounds Either of Wood or Stone shall be taken away and no new put up. But to be as sparing as ffriends Well can for those who were not ffriends and put up before the buring ground was solely Confirmed to ffriends."

This Elinor Branton, or Brantnon, was the first wife of John Blunston, and she died prior to 1682. There is recorded, in Lon- don, the death or rather burial of an Elinor Branton, at Breach House, nth month 5th, 1676. This may be intended for the wife of John Blunston, but if so it seems peculiar that her married name was not given.^
John Blunston's second wife was Sarah Bickerstafif, as appears by an examination of the " Pemberton Papers " (original corre- spondence), preserved at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The exact date and place of marriage has not been ascertained.
In Vol. ii of the above Papers, page 120, there is a letter from Samuel Bowne of Flushing, Long Island, to Phineas Pemberton, dated loth month 29th, 1695, or to give it as it is in the original, " 29th of loth mo, 1695."
He speaks of the death of his father, and writes as follows:
" My dear father was taken sick at New York about ye 5th day of lOth mo. and being desirous to get to his own house we brought him over ye river safely but not finding him fit to be carried farther he remained in the house of Richard Gibs hat maker ... ye 20th of ye same month he finished his corse . . . buryed by his father ... we find a will which was made in the time of his last widdohod (wid-ower) wh'ch I suppose will be as no will he having since a wife and one child and she near to be delivered of another for whom there is no reserve. We have just now finished takeing Inventory & priseing ye estate now in ye last will John Ro (lorn) and uncle John Blonstone were guardians to my (torn) brother and tru-tees to the will. John Rodman has the will and is loath any thing should be done till uncle comes and my wife & I greatly desires thee to come with him, my dear wife writ to send by uncle blonston. . . . My dear friend Thomas Musgrove came to ye burial.
Samuel Bowne."

John & Sarah Blunston "
It will be seen from these letters that Samuel Bowne writes of his " uncle John Blunston," that John and Sarah Blunston write to "Dr bro & sister," and in the letter of 12 of ye nth month, 1683, John Blunston writes "my wife desires her sister." These quota- tions prove that the wife of John Bowne and the wife of John Blunston were sisters. This is further confirmed by the pedigree of the Bowne family of Flushing, Long Island.
Thompson's History of Long Island, ii, p. 385, gives an account of the Bowne family. This is quoted here with a few corrections made by J. T. Bowne of Springfield, Mass., already mentioned.
Thomas Bowne, bap.. May 25th 1595 at Matlock, Derbyshire, died in 1677, he had a son John Bowne and a daughter Dorothy, the latter bap., Aug., 14th 1631 married Edward Farrington, they resided on Long Island. John Bowne, was bap.. May 9th, 1627 at Matlock and died, as the letter of 29th of loth mon., 1695 states on " ye 20th of ye same month," meaning loth month. 1695. John Bowne married at Flushing, Lond Island, on May ith 1656, Hannah Feke, not Field as Thompson has it. She died in 1677. By her he had John Jr, bom in 1657 and died in 1673, Elizabeth born, 1658, died 1691, Abigail, born 1662 died in infancy, Hannah, bom, 1665, Samuel, born 1667, died 1745, he married three times, first, on 8th month 4th, 1691 at Falls, Bucks, County Penna, Mary Becket, second, in 1709, Hannah Smith, and third, in 1735, Grace Cowperthwaite, Dorothy, born 1669, married Henry Franklin, Martha, born 1673 married Joseph Thorn.
After the death of Hannah Feke, John Bowne married at Flushing, Long Island on the 12th month 2d, 1679, Hannah Bickerstaflf, she died " 7th of 4th month 1690-1," by her he had Sarah, born 1680, died the same year, John, died in infancy, Sarah, died in infancy, Thomas, John, born 1686 married Elizabeth daughter of Joseph Lawrence, Abigail, born sth month 5th, 1688.
John Bowne's third wife was Mary Cock, by her he had Amy born 2d month 1st, 1694, and the posthumous child, spoken of in the letter written by Samuel Bowne, who was named Ruth, born nth month 30th, 1695-96. Amy named above married Richard Hallett.
It will thus be seen that Samuel Bowne, was above twenty five years old
BLUNSTON. 47
when he wrote to Phineas Pemberton, and told of his father's death and mentioned "uncle John Blunston were guardian to my . . . brother and trustees to the will."
As this letter was written in 1695, after the death of both of John Bowne's first and second wives, Hannah Feke, in 1677, and Hannah Bickerstaff, in 1690, and the manner in which the third wife, Mary Cock, is mentioned, shows the relationship, i. e., " uncle John Blunston" must have been through either Hannah Feke or Hannah Bickerstaff. It was not through the former, for the Feke genealogy shows no such connection. It therefore must have been through Hannah Bickerstaff. This is further confirmed by the ex- pression made use of in the letter of " ye 12th of ye nth '83," John and Sarah Blunston to John Bowne and wife, it is as follows, " my wife desires her sister will remember to help her some . . . seeds &c."
Who the parents of Hannah Bickerstaff were has not been ascer- tained, nor their place of residence. It is probable that they were alive in 1688, as the letter written in that year states, "as yet wee have no letter from father & mother." It is also probable that John Blunston and Sarah Bickerstaff were married in England, per- haps just prior to coming to Pennsylvania, as the letter of 1683, states, "blessed be ye Lord for his mercy which we have largely partaken of since we left our native country."
In the Certificate of Removal, granted to John Blunston, there is no mention of his wife, it states " soo far forth as we know is Cleare upon all Accounts." This is dated " 13th day of ye 5th month 1682." It therefore seems probable, that they were married sometime between this date and the time of their arrival in the Province, in the latter part of the Summer of 1682, he having sailed prior to the time of Penn's landing, the 29th day of October (8th month), 1682.
Three other children were born after their arrival : John, 6 month 29th, 1685, Samuel, 7 month 2d, 1689, and Joseph, 11 month nth, 1691, died 8 month 12th, 1692, Sarah, the wife of John Blun- ston, died 8 month 4th, 1692. In the 6th month, 1699, John Blun- ston was again married. The only child by his third wife was Joseph, born 4 month 3d, 1701 ; died 5 month 20th, 1701.
John Blunston died 6 month 22d, 1723, in the 79th year of his
48 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
age. His widow was afterwards married to Thomas Lightfoot in the nth month, 1724-5. Thomas Lightfoot died 9 month 4th, 1725, and Margaret, 5 month nth, 1732.
In the manuscript " Memoirs of Friends," eminent for piety and virtue, of the Yearly Meeting of Philadelphia, from the settlement of the Colony to the present time (1770), "by John Smith, of Burlington, N. J. (a brother of Samuel Smith, the historian, and s(5n-in-law of James Logan), occurs the following notice: "John Blunston, I have been informed by Eleanor Evans, of Gwynedd, who knew him well, was a very reputable Friend both before and after he came from England, bore a good testimony for truth, was esteemed a pillar in the Church and useful to his country " ; and further adds, " His doors were open to strangers, being much given to hospitality."
The following lines written by Samuel Bunting, who later married his granddaughter, though rather long, give us some idea of the estimation in which John Blunston was held by his contemporaries, and are now published for the first time :
As True Encomiums have no power to add Felicity or comfort to they dead For, tis by Grace, as all good men Declare Strength is obtained to make 'em what they are Yet they may be to those that's left behind As goads to Prick Excite and stir they mind.

O happy state, thy god whom thou didst Love N ow will reward thee with a crown above."
Standing on the north bank of the creek a short distance above the bridge at Darby, is an old oak tree, which is worthy of notice. In a survey (1682) of 500 acres of land patented by William Penn to John Blunston, this tree is referred to as " an ancient oak." Since that time, over two centuries, it has stood there, braving the storms and floods and is still in a flourishing condition. It would be inter- esting to know for how many centuries prior to the settlement of Darby, this "ancient oak" had stood there nourished by the still older creek which flows at its base. A few feet away is the old mill race which was " digged " through Blunston's land nearly two centuries ago. On December 8th, 1696, John Blunston conveyed by deed to Samuel Carpenter and John Bethel the right of way for this mill race, for the consideration of an annual rental of twenty shill- ings. Mr. Joseph Bunting, Jr., a descendant of John Blunston, who owns a portion of this land, receives yearly the rental from the Griswold Company, who now operate the mills a short distance below. John Blunston's will was proved the 28th day of August, 1723. No. 166, book, A. I., page 152. The following copy is from the original, which is on file at West Chester :

BLUNSTON. 53
Morgan Bunting has mentioned the existence of an old book in the possession of a descendant of John Blunston, which has written in it the names of John Blunston, Michael Blunston, and Edward Cook, and the date 1680.
John Blunston, of Darby, signs an Epistle sent in 1683 from Friends in Pennsylvania and Jersey, to Friends in Britain, see " The Yorkshireman," Magazine, anno, 1833, Vol. iii, p. 95 (Friends' Library (Orthodox), Germantown).
The following will be found in " Memoirs of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania," Vol x, " The Penn and Logan Corre- spondence," Vol. ii, 1 700-1 750. On page 8, in a letter from James Logan to William Penn, dated, Philadelphia, 5th of 2d month, 1705, he writes, "John Blunston seldom comes nigh us; he unhappily joined himself with those of Darby, (to preserve good neighbour- hood, he says), who opposed the resurveys." Page 69, in a letter from William Penn to James Logan, dated 14, 7th month, 1705, he writes, " Let John Blunston of Darby have my old love,, and that I am the same that ever I was towards him, and hope the same from him."
Morgan Bunting mentions the fact that the name Phebe Bicker- staflf, is signed to a marriage certificate of one of the Fern family. This no doubt is the " sister phebe," mentioned in the letter of loth of ye loth month, 1688, John and Sarah Blunston to John and Hannah Bowne. In Mr. Bunting's article, the children of John and Sarah Blunston are given as follows: Sarah, Katharine, John, Samuel, and Joseph, of course in error. The children of John Blunston, were :

Sarah, born in England, 7th month 20th, 1670 ; died in Darby 8th month

Mr. Morgan Bunting's narrative gives some account of the descendants of John Blunston.
Sarah Blunston was married 12 month 12th, 1700, at the meeting house in Darby to Josiah, son of EHzabeth Fearn. Her descendants are numerous, the Hibberds and Buntings being among them. Katharine Blunston was married early in the loth month, 1691, at the meeting house in Darby to Adam Roades, son of John and Elizabeth Roades. Katharine Roades was appointed overseer in Darby meeting, 6th month 4th, 1708.
John Blunston, Jr., was married at Darby meeting 9th month 1 2th, 1707, to Anne Hunt, the daughter of James and Elizabeth (Bonsall) Hunt. Their certificate of marriage is recorded on the minute book as follows :
Whereas John Blunston junr of Darby, in the County of Chester & province of pensilvania yeoman and Anne Hunt Daughter of James Hunt of Kingsess in the County of Philadelphia & province aforesaid having Declared their Intentions of Marriage before Severall men & womens meetings of the people of God called Quakers in pensilvania aforesaid According to ye Good order used among them whose proceedings therein after a deliberate Consideration thereof & having Consent of parents & relations concerned, nothing appearing to obstruct was approved by sd meetings.

On August 31st, 1708, John Blunston, Sr., deeded to John Blun- ston, Jr., a tract of 170 acres in Darby. On the 30th of the follow- ing July " John Blunston the younger " deeded to John Wood " the moity or one half of all that Bolting house situate near the said John Blunston's dwelling house. Beginning 8 foot from the west corner of the said Bolting house fronting the street and extending on the same street S.E. 40 foot to a post & from thence N.E. 40 foot to another post and from thence N.W. 40 foot to another post and thence 40 foot to the place of beginning." The location of this bolting mill is not known, it was probably on the east side of
56 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
High street near the present Bunting street. John Blunston, Jr., was a member of the Provincial Assembly in 171 3 and 1716 and Justice of the Peace in 1715. He died on the 3d of 8th month, 1716, leaving his wife and two children, Sarah and Hannah. His widow afterwards, 12th month 7th, 1719, married Nathan Gibson.
Sarah Blunston (daughter of John, Jr.) was born 6th month 19th, 1708, and married, in 1727, Samuel Bethel, son of John and Rose (Smith) Bethel. They removed to Lancaster county, and settled near the present borough of Columbia. Samuel Bethel died in 1736, and Sarah afterwards married Peter Worrall.
Two of Sarah Bethel's grandsons, Samuel and Thomas Boude, served with distinction in the Revolutionary War, and another de- scendant, General Lewis Merrill of Philadelphia, wae very active in the Civil war.
Hannah Blunston (daughter of John, Jr.) was born 4th month 7th, 1712, and married 6th month 30th, 1732, Thomas Pearson, son of Benjamin and Susanna (Burbeck) Pearson. She died 8th month 7th, 1778. From this couple are descended many of the Lloyd, Pearson and Serrill families of Darby.
Samuel Blunston (son of John, Sr.) was married on the 7th of 3d month, 1718, to Sarah Bilton, "of Kingsess, widow," whose former husband had kept a ferry on the Schuylkill. Removing to the Susquehanna in 1726, in the early settlement of Lancaster county, Samuel Blunston purchased a large tract of land at the present site of Columbia. His wife died soon after.
Samuel Blunston was a man of considerable wealth, having in- herited his father's estate, and, it is said, received much from his wife. He was a very important man of affairs in Lancaster county, a member of Assembly, deputy register of wills, one of the Justices, and Deputy Surveyor for several townships. He had early in life studied surveying and so was well fitted for the last position. His death occurred in the latter part of September, 1745, the following notice appearing in the Pennsylvania Gazette of October 3rd, 1745, "We hear from Hempfield in Lancaster county, that, on Monday last died there, much regretted, Samuel Blunston Esq., one of the Representatives of that county, a Gentleman of extensive Knowledge and Benevolence." He had no children and left his large property, some 9CXD acres, to his nieces, Hannah Pearson and Sarah Bethel, to

be given to them after the death of his friend, Susanna Wright, to whom he gave a life estate. Samuel was the last on the male line to bear the name of Blunston, and a few years later, 1749, upon the death of his aunt, Michael Blunston's widow, the name entirely dis- appears.
THE ANCESTRY OF JOHN BLUNSTON.
Little Hallam or Kirk Hallam (All Saints), the place from whence John Blunston came to Pennsylvania, is a parish partly in the union of Belper, Hundred of Appletree, and partly in the union of Shard- low, and hundred of Morleston and Litchurch, Southern Division of the county of Derby, about 9 miles (E.N.E.) from Derby. The church is in the hundred of Morleston and Litchurch. In the mar- riage certificate of John Blunston and Elinor Branton or Brantnon, he is designated as of the parish of Elkeston (Ilkeston), and of the town of "nthe" (Nether) Hallam, meaning Kirk or Little Hallam.
Ilkeston (St. Mary) is a market-town and parish in the union of Basford, hundred of Morleston and Litchurch, Southern Division of the county of Derby, nearly ten miles (N.E. by E.) from Derby. This place was anciently called Elchestane, and obtained a grant for a market and fair in 125 1. The church is an ancient structure with a lofty tower of modern date. In the interior is a stone screen in the early English style, together with some interesting ancient monuments.
Adjoining parishes to Kirk Hallam to the west and northwest are Stanley and West Hallam. On the southwest, Dale Abbey, on the south Ockbrook and Sandiacre ; on the southeast, Stanton by Dale, and on the northeast, Ilkeston; the latter being along the boundary of Nottinghamshire. The bordering parishes in Notts are Cossal, Strelly, Bilborough, Trowell and Stapleford.
In order to ascertain with certainty the ancestry of John Blunston, it was necessary to obtain as much information as possible concern- ing any brothers or sisters he might have had living either in Penn- sylvania or in England.
One of his brothers we find was Michael Blunston who also re- moved to Pennsylvania. The following abstract of his will confirms the statement that the family was of Kirk Hallam, Derbyshire.

remained at Kirk Hallam. That William had a son William, who had issue living in 1736, and that Samuel had sons Michael and Samuel, living in the same year.
An attempt to find the baptism of John Blunston at Kirk Hallam, failed, as the parish registers earlier than 1700 are wanting. Those of West Hallam begin in 1545, but the name of Blunston could not be found there for the period, searched, i. e., circa 1640-47. The same was reported for the search in the registers of Ilkeston, which begin in 1586. Apparently the only near parish to Kirk Hallam in which the name occurs is that of Sandiacre, the registers of which begin in 1571. The entries taken from this register will be referred to hereafter.
Recourse was then had to wills at Lichfield, in Staffordshire. Derbyshire being in the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry. At Lich- field, wills and administrations of the name of Blunston were sys- tematically examined and extracts made, covering the period from the earliest found, to the year 1700.
The following (two) administration bonds, relate to the Kirk Hallam Blunstons.
Paul Blunston, Bond dated i8th of November, 1692, whereby Mary Blunston of the parish of Kirk Hallam, widow, by Samuel Blunston of the same parish, " Stokin-nitter " and David England of the same parish yeoman, her surities is bound in the sum of isoo to make a true inventory of the goods &c., of Paul Blunston deceased, late of Kirke Hallam in the county of Derby, husbandman.
Inventory, dated 25th of October, 1692, amounts to £289.16.3. On the iSth day of November, 1692, appeared Mary Blunston and alleged that Paul Blunston of Kirke Hallam died intestate and that she is his widow.
William Blunston, Bond dated 14th of September 16S3 whereby Anne Blunstone of Kirk-hallam in the county of Derby, widow by Robert Bingham of Shardly in the county of Derby, her surety, is bound in the sum of £56. The condition of this bond is that the said Anne Blunston the rel'ct and administratrix of all the goods &c., of William Blunstone of Kirkhallam shall make a true inventory thereof and exhibit the same before the ist day of October following. The inventory was filed as follows.

John Husband, Surr:
These are the only administration bonds of the Kirk Hallam Blunstons (no wills) for the period when the father of John Blun- ston who came to Pennsylvania must have died. As the name of William is a family one in the Blunston branch which remained in Kirk Hallam it seems reasonable to conclude that the William Blunston whose estate was administered by his widow in 1683, was the father of John and Michael who came to Pennsylvania, and William and Samuel who remained in Kirk Hallam. This is further confirmed by the name Michael, which is one that will be found to occur in the family of the above mentioned William Blunston.^
Before proceeding to give an account of the ancestry of this man, which will be found to be clearly proven by wills, extracts of Blun- ston wills, other than those of Kirk Hallam, of the same period will be given. This is done to show that the ancestry proposed to be given is correct and confirmed by these wills of people of the same name of adjoining parishes. They will also be of value to any genealogist who may have occasion to work in the same neighborhood.

8o LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
In " An Index to the Pedigrees and Arms contained in the Herald's Visitations & other Genealogical manuscripts in the British Museum," by R. Sims, London, 1849, there is this reference. " Blandeston or Blundeston, Derbyshire from county Suffolk. 1093 fo., 52b." A transcript was made from the original MS. above cited, and is as follows :
Will'ms de Nedham D'us de Stanton, de Stanton Hall dedit et concessit et pr'es carta mea confirmani Ri'co de Dnckenfeild et Elienae filia mea viginti acras terrae et prat bosci etc et terciam partem manerii de Staunton &c da't 3 d H. (Henry) primi."
(Note, by H. W. L., from a William Nettham or Needham, living Anno 1st of Henry 2nd circa 1154, the old MSS., gives a charted pedigree to a John Needham living Anno 4th of Edward HI, circa 1331. From this John Needham descends a Henry Needham or Nedham who appears to have been a younger son or 4th son of his father. He married Anna daughter of Haselwood of Maidwell in county Northampton. Her first husband was Arthur Uvedale in county Southampton. Henry Nedham had a daughter and heiress Anna who married Laerence Blundeston of Haughton or Halaughton in county Notts. He was of Haughton in right of his mother, who was Anna daughter and heiress of Lawrence Maxe or Maxey of Halaughton in county Notts. Lawrence Blundeston's father was Nicholas Blundeston, whose will extract has been given, dated 19th March 1581. Beside Law- rence he had a son Paul Blundeston. He also mentions a legacy to Thomas Blundeston and to each of his "brethern." One of the witnesses was Wil- liam Needham. It seems probable that this Thomas Blundeston was a brother of Nicholas Blundeston. For Nicholas had brothers William and Robert, as will be seen from another MSS. No doubt he Thomas Blundeston was identical with the Thomas Blundeston who made his nuncupative will 20 January 1590, as of Haloughton and appears to have died without issue. Among other names mentioned in his will is that of William Forrest, who was a son of John Forrest by a daughter of Nicholas Blundeston. John Blundeston whose will was proved 20 Feb., 1574 as of Cotgreave county Notts, had a son Paul Blundeston. He mentions as Surveyors William Nadom or Needham and " Uncle Blundestone." This was undoubtedly Nicholas Blundeston, and therefore John Blundeston was a nephew of Nicholas Blundeston of Haloughton. One of the witnesses was a William Blundestone who he was is not clear. He may have been William Blundeston brother to Nicholas Blundeston. In the nuncupative will of Robert Blundeston of Hipgreave Park, probated i6th of March 1590 he mentions his father's second wife as "ye maistress," meaning Dame Anne widow of Hipgreave Park. He also names Ann and Gertrude Blundeston daughters of the said Dame Anne Blundeston. The inference is that this Dame Anne Blundeston was the step-mother of Robert Blundeston, altho' not stated in so many words.
BLUNSTON. Si
A brother of Nicholas Blundeston was named Robert, the above named Robert Blundeston of Hipgreave Park it seems reasonable to suppose, was Robert brother of Nicholas.
Especially as will be seen from the other old MSS., that the father of Nicholas Blundeston was married twice.
According to the old MSS., " Harleian, 1093 f 52 b., the father of Nicholas Blundeston was Thomas Blundeston, miles (Knight) by a daughter of Thomas Powtrell of West Hallam (it will be noted that the other MSS., gives a different mother for Nicholas). The father of Thomas Blundeston, miles was Richard Blundeston by a daughter of Aslake or Haslake of Nor- folk. The father of Richard Blundeston was John Blundeston or Blandeston of Blandeston in the county of Suffolk.
According to the old MSS. the descent of Nicholas Blundeston was somewhat different. It is partly given here.

Crest, a wolf passant argent. (Note, the pedigree starts with Sir Thomas Arden, Knight, 9th of Edward II.) Beatrex daughter and heir of Roger Arden and grand daughter of Sir Thomas Arden married William Chambers, their great grand son Sir Thomas Chambers High Sheriff of the county Northampton temp Henry 6th., had a grand-daughter and co-heiress named Ellen who married Henry Maxey of Higham Ferrers in county Northampton, their third son Lawrence Maxey of Haloughton in county Nottingham married Alice daughter of William Roch, and Anne the daughter and heiress of Lawrence Maxey married Nicholas Blundeston. According to this MSS., the said Nicholas Blundeston had a sister Alice Blundeston married to a man named Sarr'ngham. They had brothers, Robert Blundeston, " Batchelor in Divinity," Richard Blundeston, Master of " Baillioll College in county Oxon," ob. s. p., and William Blundeston who married Alice daughter of a man named Bradshaw, and left issue not named.
The father of these children, Nicholas, Alice, Robert, Richard and William was Thomas Blundeston just as the other old MSS., has it but by a different mother, her name being Elizabeth daughter of a man named Windsot of Dracott.
(Draycott is a small place a liberty in the parish of Sawley in the Southern Division of the county of Derby. It is less than five miles South West of Sandiacre and 6V2 East South East from Derby). It would seem therefore, that Thomas Blundeston was married twice. His

wives being a daughter of Thomas Powtrell of West Hallam, and Elizabeth
daughter of Windsor of Draycott. His father was Richard Blundeston who
married a daughter of Jepsay or Jopsay as Harleian MSS 1400 has it by a
daughter of Fox of ... in county Derby.
Richard Blundeston was a son of another Richard Blundeston of Blundeston
by a daughter of . . . Haslake of ... in county Norfolk.
This last Richard Blundeston was a son of John Blundeston of Blundeston
temp., Henry IV. Descended from Robert Blundeston of Blundeston in
county Suffolk temp, Edward ist.
So much for this branch of the Blundeston family. It shows that they settled in or near Sandiacre on coming from Suffolk.
The " Visitations of the County of Nottingham " as published by The Harleian Society, are taken from Harlein MSS. 1555 and 1400. According to the pedigree therein given, William Blundeston, son of Thomas Blundeston, married Alice daughter of . . . Bradshaw. It therefore seems probable that he was the father of William and Robert Blundeston of Sandiacre, circa 1592.
Either the name Alice, wife of William Blundeston as given in the Visitations is an error of the Herald's, or he was married twice, for Joan appears to have been the name of the mother of William and Robert Blunston of Sandiacre. Her will was dated 24th of February, 1573, in which she requested to be buried within the Church of Sandiacre, and mentions her daughters Margaret and Jone, her son- in-law Robert Taylor and her sons William and Robert Blunston,
Granting William Blunston of Kirk Hallam, who died without making a will, and on whose estate Letters of Administration were granted in 1683, to be the father of William Blunston of Kirk Hallam who died prior to 1734 and of Samuel Blunston of Kirk Hallam living in 1734, then the descent of John Blunston of Kirk Hallam and Pennsylvania, and Michael Blunston of Kirk Hallam, and afterwards of Pennsylvania, is as follows :
John Blunston of Kirk Hallam or Little Hallam came to Darby Pennsyl- vania, 1682, son of William Blunston of Kirk Hallam died intestate 1683. son of Thomas Blunston of Kirk Hallam, whose wife was named Sicily or Sisley, and who was alive in 1628, his brother was named Paul; they were brothers of Michael Blunston of Risley who was a son of William Blunston of Risley whose will was dated 29th of May 161 1 and proved 8th of November 161 1, son of Robert Blunston of Sandiacre whose will was dated i8th day of December 1592/3 son of Joan Blunston, who made her will as of the Parish of Sanidacre, dated 24th of February 1573, believed to have been the wife of William Blondeston, (Blundeston or Blunston), brother to
BLUNSTON. 83
Nicholas Blundeston of Haloughton County Notts, whose will was dated 19th of March 1581, son of Thomas Blundeston, miles, whose wives were a daughter of Thomas Powtrell of West Hallam, and a daughter of Windsor of Draycott; he was a son of Richard Blundeston by a daughter of Jepsay or Jopesay by a daughter of . . . Fox in county Derby son of Richard Blundeston of Blondeston by a daughter of Haslake of ... in county Nor- folk son of John Blondeston of Blondeston or Blundeston time of Henry VI. Descended from Robert Blundeston of Blundeston in County Suffolk time Edward I.
The Parish of Bktndeston in County Suffolk from which the above family assumed its surname is thus described in Lewis's Topo- graphical Dictionary of England.
"Blundeston, (St Mary), a parish in the hundred of Mutford and Lothing- land Eastern Division of the county of Suffolk 3, % miles (N. W.) from Lowestoft. The living is a discharged rectory with that of Flixton the united value in the king's books £13. .6. .8."
In a History of the County of Suffolk by Rev., Alfred Suckling 1846 p. 307 there is a " Full account of the manor of Blundeston." Here are some extracts. " There are two manors, Blundeston Hall and Gonvilles. The former was held by a family which took their name from the place and retained it with the patronage of the church till the end of the reign of Edward 1st. Robert de Blundeston was lord. In the 23rd of Edward III, in the year 1348 there was a conveyance from Osbertus, Rector of the church of Blundeston and Oliverus de Wyste to William the son of Robert de Blundeston and the heirs of his body of the manor of Blundeston with all the lands and appurtenances in Blundeston, Oulton and Flixton together with the advowson of the church of the village of Blundeston with the appurten- ances all of which formerly of Robert de Blundeston, to hold to the said William and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten.
From this family the manor and advowson passed to that of Yarmouth.

BURBECK.
B U R B E C K.
Thomas Burbeck was living within the bounds of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, Derbyshire, England, in or about the year 1665/6, but the exact time and place of his birth are unknown. According to the record of Burials, of members of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, from Digest at Devonshire, he died, loth month loth, 1699, and was buried, on the loth of the same month, at Tupton. If Tapton is meant, it is a township in the parish of Chesterfield one and one half miles northeast by east, from the latter place. If Tupton is meant, it is a township in the parish of North Wingfield and about four miles south of Chesterfield. Elizabeth, whose sur- name is unknown, but may have been Frith, was the wife of Thomas Burbeck. When and where she was born and when and where she died are unknown. The reason for supposing her name may have been Frith, is from the fact that, in the list of signers as witnesses, to the marriage of Benjamin Pearson and Susanna Burbeck in 1703, the name of Joseph Frith occurs immediately after that of Peter Burbeck and that of Alice Frith after that of Patience Pearson. This shows a close relationship, and the name Susanna, as a given name in the Burbeck family, is an additional matter to consider as there was a Susanna Frith who suffered for being a Quaker at Chesterfield, in 1677, Besse's " Sufferings," Vol. i, p. 142, &c. What the occupation of Thomas Burbeck was has not been ascertained. In an effort to obtain some information about the family, the digest of records belonging to the various Meetings of the Religious Society of Friends' kept at Devonshire House, was consulted, the result is here given.

Nathan Garrett, sixth child of Samuel Garrett and Jane Pen- nell of Darby, was born, 12th month 13th, 171 1, in Darby, and died 9th month i6th, 1802, in Upper Darby Township, Delaware County. He married, at Abington Monthly Meeting, 1739, Ann Knowles, who was born about the year 1712, in Abington, and died in Darby (within the bounds of Darby Monthly Meeting), 4th month 2nd, 1787. She was a daughter of John Knowles and Ann Paul of Oxford Township, Philadelphia. Ann Knowles may have been born in Oxford Township ; but her family seemed to have been members of Abington Monthly Meeting. The following extract from the Monthly Meeting Minute Book of that Meeting, under date of 29th of 8th month, 1739, relates to the above marriage.
" Whereas Nathan Garrett and Ann Knowles having declared their inten- tions of marriage with each other before two monthly meetings, the said Nathan having produced a certificate of his clearance &c.. from the monthly meeting of ffr'ds of Darby, and no obstructions appearing to hinder them, they are at liberty to consumate their said intentions orderly. Griffith Jones & John Atkins are app'd to attend as overseers."
The record of the date of the marriage does not appear, but it was shortly after the above date, and prior to the Meeting in 9th month following.
Nathan Garrett was a farmer and his name appears in the list of taxables for Darby Township for 1799. ' He may have disposed ot his farm prior to the time of making his will, as there is no mention therein of any real property. The land, however, may have been entailed, he only having a life interest in it, as well as in other real estate, as will be noted in the inventory of his estate.

GARRETT. 97
William Garratt, son of John Garratt (or Garret) and Mary his wife, was born the 21st of August and baptised the 3rd of September, 1643, in England. This and the following dates are taken from an old bible, printed in 1634, in the possession of the late Nathan Garrett of Upper Darby. This record is cited in " The Sharpless Family."
William Garratt maried, 2nd month 19th, 1668, Ann Kirke, and he was living at Harby in the extreme northern part of Leicester- shire from 1672 to 1684. Harby and Hose, the latter parish being referred to later, are both in the Vale of Belvoir near to the borders of Nottinghamshire.
William Garrett and Samuel Levis, both of Harby became pur- chasers of 1,000 acres of land in Pennsylvania by deeds of lease and release, dated August 9th and loth, 1684. Both were members of the Society of Friends, and obtained, with others, a certificate of removal, which was presented at a meeting held at the " Governor's house " in Philada., on 9th month 4th, 1684, and a record made of it in the book of Minutes of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting as follows :
" William Garret, John Smith, Robert Cliffe and Samuel Levis, their Certificate was Read in the monthly meeting at Philadelphia and accepted, which was given them by the meeting at Harby in the County of Leicester, the 20th day of the 5th month 1684 and subscribed by Edw'd Hallam, Henry Brown, John Marriott, Robert Dubbleday with severall others."
The land that William Garrett had purchased before leaving Eng- land was situate in Willistown Township, Chester County. He did not however, settle on it, but lived in Darby Township, now Upper Darby, his plantation being near to the present village of Garrettford, north of the Garrett Road and west of the Coopertown Road. It contained three hundred acres, and had been surveyed November 8th, 1682, to Luke Hanck, who sold it to William Garrett, March 5th, 1688. (Ashmead's " History of Delaware County.")
A plan of the southern part of Willistown Township, made in the year 1704, shows that William Garrett had at that time 556 acres there. (Futhey and Cope's " History of Chester County.") In the tax list for the year 1693, his name appears among those of the Township of Darby. He was a member of Assembly from Chester County for the years 1706 and 1707. The latter part of his life was spent in Philadelphia, to which place he removed in 1721, and where he died in 1724. Here is an extract from his will.

Henry Gibbons, or Gibbins, was born in England, but the exact date and place are unknown.
He died 12th month loth, 1 701/2, in Darby, Pennsylvania. Prior to his coming to his new home, he married. His wife's given name was Helen, her surname unknown. She died in Darby in 171 5. Darby Meeting, Deaths give, " Elin Gibons, 12, 14, 1715." In " Besse's Sufferings of the People called Quakers," Vol. i, page 138, it is stated that "on the 23rd of the month called June 1661, at a meeting at Eyam in the High Peak, Derbyshire, at the house of Elizabeth Deane, . . . wher she was praying, 31 men and 10 women were arrested among the number Henry Gibbins." This shows that he had become convinced of the principles of the Religious Society of Friends early in life. He was a consistent member of this Re- ligious body to the time of his death. In 1682 he and his wife and family removed from '" Parividge " (Parwich, or Parwick), Derby- shire. Parwick (St. Peter) is a parish in the hundred of Wirks- worth, S. Division of the county of Derby. It is six miles north by east from Ashbourn. His certificate of removal is dated 5th month 27th, 1682, and is from Ashford Matlock and Moneyash Meeting. His place was located on Darby Creek, adjoining that of John Blunston, and about opposite, where the present Darby Friends' Meeting House is situated.
In 1689, in a list of " Land Holders," his name occurs with those of Israel Hobs and Samuel Selaw for 200 acres. In the tax list for 1693 he is assessed in the Township of Darby as follows : " Henry Gibbens, £00, s02, do6."

H E A C O C K.
Jonathan Heacock was born in Middletown Township, then Chester now Delaware County, about 1744, and died 9th month ist, 1832, on his farm near Darby Creek, in that part of Delaware County called Calkoon Hook, below the Borough of Darby. He was a son of John Heacock and Sarah Taylor, of Middletown, and the exact date of his birth is unknown ; but he was aged 88 years at the time of his death. The year of his death was the time of a cholera epidemic, and his daughter Ann and her husband Howard Williams and their family, were spending the summer with him to escape the disease. The latter part of August having arrived they concluded it would be safe to move back to town. The thought was that it would save the going back and forth of Howard Williams to and from his place of business, then at southwest corner of Broad and Spruce Streets, quite a journey in those days, he having to drive into the city in the morning and return to the farm in the evening. Jonathan Heacock, however, remarked to his daughter " Do not go just yet,
1 cannot spare thee, wait a couple of weeks ! " They remained, and during this time he died.
He was a constant attender of Darby Meeting, and an Overseer. In 1774 he was assessed at 112 acres and buildings, 9 acres of marsh,
2 horses, and 3 cattle. A certificate of removal for him and his family was granted 2nd month 26th, 1776, by Chester Monthly Meet- ing, to Darby Monthly Meeting. On nth month 19th, 1766, at Concord Friends' Meeting, he married Hannah Pyle. She was born about the year 1746 in Thornbury Township near the present village of Thornton, Delaware County, and died ist month 12th, 1808, on their farm at Calcoon (Calkoon) Hook. She was a large fine look- ing woman and was found dead on the floor of her house on the return of the family from a visit in the neighborhood; supposedly from apoplexy. She was a daughter of Jacob Pyle and his wife, Jane Sharpless of Thornbury.

The following was related by Annabella W. Lloyd. Jonathan Heacock, like many others who were members of The Society of Friends was non-combatant during the War of the Revolution. Ann Williams told her daughter Annabella, that her father's farm was overrun by both armies ; but suffered most from the Hessian troops. Her mother would bake bread for the use of the family, and the Hessian soldiers w'ould come in the kitchen and carry it off on their bayonets. One of the soldiers took one of their best cows. Jonathan complained to the commanding officer, who took him through the camp to identify the thief, which he said he could easily do. After seeing the men he recognized the one who had taken the cow, but as the officer had said that if he knew who it was he would make an example of him, Jonathan decided not to identify the thief, as he did not want the man severely punished.

Henry Hodge was born in the Island of Antigua, about the year 1680, and died in Philadelphia, ist month 7th, 1731-2. Letters of Administration granted on his estate March 15th, 173 1-2, to his widow Hannah Hodge. (Register of Wills Office, Admon., Book C, page 193.) He was a son of Henry Hodge and Margaret (sur- name unknown) of the Island of Antigua, West Indies. He was married twice. First, at St. Johns, Antigua, on March 4th, 1703-45 to Frances, daughter of Christopher Knight and Frances Duncan of Antigua. She was born circa 1683-4 in Antigua and died in Phila- delphia, as a member of the Society of Friends, nth month, 1715. (Philadelphia Monthly Meeting Records give under Deaths: " fifrance Hodge wife of Henry, II mo II 1715.") The following is from a MS. in the possession of Philip P. Sharpless of West Chester.

Henry Hodge married, secondly, Hannah Scott, widow of Abra- ham Scott ; she was also widow of a John Scott, her maiden name being Lambert. As Hannah Lambert she married John Scott, at Chesterfield Meeting, N. J., 2nd month 4th, 1695. At Philadelphia Meeting, on 5th month loth, 1705, as Hannah Scott, widow, of Phil- adelphia, she married Abraham Scott of Philadelphia, merchant, and at the same Meeting, on 7th month 12th, 1717, she married Henry Hodge of Philadelphia, merchant, and died in Philadelphia, ist month 26th, 1736.

About the year 1715 Henry Hodge and his wife Frances, with their children, removed from St. Johns, Antigua, to Philadelphia. Vere Langford Oliver in his " History of Antigua " gives some account of Henry Hodge. A few extracts are here given :
" 1714, March 15, Henry Hodge of Antigua, planter, and Frances his wife sell to John Knight of Antigua, planter 30 acres at Popeshead for £800 c." 1715, March 26, Henry Hodge and Frances his wife of Antigua sell two negros to William Knight, planter, for £170, c."
" 1715, March 26, Margaret Hodge, widow. Whereas, my son Henrj- Hodge and Frances his wife for £800 sold 30 acres in Popeshead to John Knight, Gent., I free him from all claims."
" 1715, March 29, Henry Hodge and Frances his wife sell 2 acres in Popes- head to Benjamin Hodge."
From these notes it would seem that Henry Hodge was preparing to remove to Philadelphia. That he sailed some time between March, 1715, and January, or nth month (Old Style) of the same year is certain. The latter date being the one on which his first wife, Frances, died. He became a prominent merchant, and often acted as attorney for parties living in Antigua. In William Rawle's Ledger, now at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, there is an account opened for Henry Hodge as attorney to Jonas Langford, of Antigua, during the years from 1720 to 1726.
In 1721, he, with a large number of other merchants, signed an agreement to take " Lyons Dollars " at 5 shillings, English crowns at 7 shillings 6 pence, half crowns at 3s. gd., English shillings at i8d. and English sixpence at pd., in proclamation money showing a

premium of fifty per cent, on sterling at this time and making the value of the Pennsylvania pound currency, $3.33. In 1726 New Castle and Kent counties (now in Delaware), had a currency of their own uncurrent in Philadelphia, but many merchants advertised in the " Mercury " agreeing to take bills of these counties. Henry Hodge was one of this number, and again, in 1730, he offered to take New Castle money at par.
On October 3rd, 1727, he became one of the Common Councilmen of the City of Philadelphia. (See Scharff and Westcott's " History of Philadelphia.")
Among other property owned by Henry Hodge was what is now known as No. 1015 Clinton Street, near Tenth and Spruce Streets. The following notes are from the brief of title to this property :
1728, May ist.. Deed to Henry Hodge for lot 198 feet on the North side of Pine Street and 366 feet on the East side of Eleventh Street.
Henry Hodge died intestate leaving five children by his first wife, viz., Knight, Henry, Margaret Rawle wife of William Rawle, Frances Paschall wife of John Paschall, and Mary Fisher, widow, by his second wife, he had one child, Thomas Hodge.

Philip P. Sharpless of West Chester has a number of original letters written by members of the Hodge and Paschall families which passed between Antigua and Pennsylvania. A few extracts are here given :
Letter intended to be sent to Antigua from Jonathan Paschall, dated January 3rd 1763. To esteemed sister,
(Among other things it states) " Your cousin Peggy Wood was taken raven and stark mad." ..." respects to you and cousin Henry, your sister and your cousin Susanna and James Fisher . . . Stephen Paschall desires to be remembered to you and Henry . . . We desire to be remembered to cousins Phillips Pasyank." (Perhaps the cousins Phillips of Passyunk).

Martha B. Andrews, of Darby, has in her possession a small silver mush bowl, or porringer, which belonged to Henry and Frances Hodge. It is perhaps six inches across at the top, and four inches deep, with a handsome filigree worked handle. On the center of the handle are the initials H. H. F. with the second H above the other two letters, and between the first H and the F is a star. Around the upper outside surface of the bowl are various hall-marks. First, the maker's initials, a crown under it, R. L^. Second, the Standard (New Standard figure of Britannia). Third, the Assay town, a lion's head for London. Fourth, for the date, a B reversed for 1646-7. On the under side of the handle, the lion's head is repeated.
A few other notes referring to Henry Hodge, prior to his removal to Pennsylvania, from Oliver's "History of Antigua," may not be out of place.

HOULSTON.
HOULSTON.
John Houlston was born m or near Shrewsbury, England, and the family, at one time, appears to have been of importance in Shropshire.
John Houlston was a farmer, and early joined the Society of Friends. He was at a meeting at Shrewsbury, 5 December, 1660; imprisoned 1664, and fined for refusing to take the oath of allegiance 1670; being then in gaol. In 1672 he was still in prison, but released the same year, having been detained in the " Common Gaol " for conscience sake "about seven years" (Besse's "Sufferings of Friends "). It appears, however, that his confinement was not con- tinuous, as he was certainly at liberty a part of the time. He married, according to tradition, about 1657, Elizabeth Serrill, and was living at Heath House farm, in Stanton, 1660, at Abbey Fore- gate, Shrewsbury, 1663, and his daughter Martha was born at Preston Boats, 1667. John Houlston removed to Pennsylvania very early; according to tradition in the "Welcome," with William Penn, in 1682. The warrant of Survey to him for 250 acres of land in Middleton township in the County of Chester, Pennsylvania, was dated 9 December, 1684, but he was certainly in the Province in the Summer of 1683. He died 3 month 12th, 1699, and his wife 3 month 8th, 1702.
Children of John Houlston and Elizabeth his wife:
John, born near Shrewsbury; married in Pennsylvania, 1684, Ann
Gibbs, and died in Edgmont, 4 month 17th, 1689. She was his
second wife. Sarah, born at Heath House farm, 7 month 8th, 1660; married, 1685,
Peter Taylor. Rebecca, born at Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, 2 month 2d, 1663. Martha, born at Preston Boats, 2 month ist, 1667; married, 1686, David
Ogden. (See "The Quaker Ogdens.") Elizabeth, married, 1685, James Swafer. Rebecca, married, 1685, William Gregory.
There are two wills of John Houlston, Jr., filed at Philadelphia, the second dated 4 month 17th, 1698. Both were contested on the grounds of the insanity of the testator.
121
122 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
It also appears that he had two sons named John. A son John, by his second wife Ann (Gibbs) was born 9th month, 19, 1686 (Chester Meeting Records). In his will of 4 month, 1686, he makes his son John executor, and this John Houlston was found to be of age 12 month, 25th, 1701-2. The second John must have died young although his burial cannot be found. (See Vol. B, 254, Philadelphia Wills. Of course it is quite impossible that a son of John Houlston and Ann Gibbs, who were married in 1684, could have been of age in 1701-2.) The third John Houlston died in Edgmont, 1732. Will dated i August, 1732; proved 16 August, 1732. He mentions wife Sarah, sons Benjamin and John, and daughters Sarah, Ann, Eliza- beth, Rebecca, and Hannah ; son-in-law John Ireland of the County of Chester, and Cousin Peter Taylor. His wife was a sister of Samuel Phipps.
HOWARD
HOWARD.
Henry Howard (or Haworth, Howarth, Hayworth), was born circa 1689-92. The exact date and place of his birth are unknown. Gilbert Cope of West Chester, Pennsylvania, in his " Genealogy of the Sharpless Family," 1887, states, on page 136, that Henry Howard was christened December 22nd, 1689, at Lower Darwen, Lancashire, England, and that he was son of Richard Howard of that place. On investigation this is found to be incorrect. In fact the error is admitted on page 934 of the same book; a footnote giving some account of the Howard-Haworth family of Lancashire, and showing that the Henry Howard, baptised in 1689, was living in Blackburn, Lancashire, married, and died there in 1728, leaving sons Thomas anl Robert.
Further investigation by the writer during the past few years, both in Lancashire and Yorkshire, has as yet thrown no light whatever on the subject. The earliest record known of Henry Howard after his arrival in Pennsylvania is that he resided at first in the neighbor- hood of Darby. From here he brought a certificate of removal to Chester Monthly Meeting dated loth month 4th, 1717. This states that he had " lived sometime amongst us . . . frequented our meetings. . . . Clear from all women in relation to marriage as far as we know." This was signed by Richard Parker, Jr., and Josiah Hobberd, and it indicates that prior to this time he had become a Member of the Society of Friends. He settled in Upper Providence Township, and purchased from William Willis of Edgmont, blacksmith, and Gaynor his wife, by deed of 3rd month 1 6th, 1720, a tract of 196 acres in Edgmont and 4 acres in Newtown, where he and his wife settled. This land is still in the possession of their descendants, or was in 1887. The marriage certificate of Henry Howard is on parchment and the following is an extract of it, with the witnesses' signatures in the order of signing, as far as can be deciphered :
Whereas Henry Heyworth of the Township of Upper Providence and Hannah daughter of John Sharpies of the Township of Ridley spnster both of the county of Chester and Province of Pennsylvania, having de-

Henry Howard received a certificate of removal 7th month 30th, 1734, on account of having occasion " to go to Great Britain to settle some affairs and the vessel like to sail before next meeting." He having returned produced this certificate 4th mo: 30th, 1735, with endorsement from Friends in England. He was appointed an Elder for Middletown Meeting, 8th month 25th, 1742, in place of Thomas Goodwin, and was succeeded by Joseph Pennell, 8th month 27th, 1746.
Hannah was appointed overseer, 9th month 26th, 1739, instead of Mary Edge, and was succeeded, on 5th month 28th, 1746, by Ann Evans, and was again appointed, loth month 26th, 1748, and gave way to Agnes Minshall, loth month 30th, 1752.
Henry Howard died loth month 12th, 1760. His will, as of Edg- mont, is dated 9th month 13th, 1758, and probated, October 27th, 1760. He devises to his son John, for seven years, the plantation whereon he (John) lives in Edgmont and Newtown, except six acres of meadow on southwest side of Crum Creek, after which the same to be divided between sons, John, Peter, and Richard.

Elizabeth Chadwick, was born, February 23rd, 1727, in England, and died in Philadelphia, 8th month 7th, 1765. She was a daughter of John Chadwick of Barnwick, Yorkshire, and his wife Isabel (Holme). They were members of Bentham Meeting, Settle Monthly Meeting, West Riding of Yorkshire. (Record from Devonshire House, Meeting Books, London.)
When Elizabeth Chadwick was about to remove from England to Pennsylvania, she applied for and received a certificate of removal from Lancaster Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends. The original is in the fireproof, in the Friends' Meeting House at the corner of 4th and Arch Streets, and is as follows :
To Friends in the Province of Pensilvania.

Peter Howard, in 1745, removed from Edgmont Township to Philadelphia. His certificate of removal is from Chester Monthly Meeting, and is dated 7th month 30th, 1745. About the year 1760, and for sometime after his marriage, Peter Howard lived on the north side of Chestnut Street, somewhere between 3rd and 4th 10

Streets. (See "A Directory of Friends' in Philadelphia," Pennsyl- vania Magazine, Vol. xvi, page 228.)
By his father's will he received a one third interest in a farm of 60 acres in Edgmont and Newtown, which interest he sold on January 17th, 1760, to his brother James for 109 pounds. By his mother's will he received 2 shillings and 6 pence.
On the 22nd of March, 1765, the Stamp Act was passed by Parlia- ment, and on October 25th the merchants and traders of Philadelphia subscribed to a non-importation agreement. Peter Howard's name is found among the signers.
Peter Howard married secondly, 12th month 31st, 1767, at Phila- delphia Meeting, Sarah Price daughter of Robert Osborn of Phila- delphia. She died 7th month i6th, 1773, aged 46. During the latter part of his life, Peter Howard lived in and kept the "Blue Anchor Tavern."

HUNT
HUNT.
James Hunt was born about 1640, perhaps between that and the year 1650. The exact date and place of his birth are unknown. At the time of his removal to Pennsylvania, in or about 1684, he was a resident of Kent. It is presumed, therefore, that he was a native of that county, as the name is found therein at and after the time of his birth. He became a member of the Society of Friends', and died on his farm in Kingsessing, within the limits of Darby Monthly Meeting ist month 31st, 1717. The names of his parents cannot be stated with any certainty ; but as he was identified with the Parish of Bearstead, the following entry from J. Meadows Cowper's " Canter- bury Marriage Allegations," may relate to them.
Thomas Hunt of Berstead, yeoman, widower and Catherine Colter of the same parish, widow of Henry Colter late deceased at the same. John Allen of the same parish yoeman and Richard Hardres of Canterbury, clothworker, bondsmen April 24th, 1637.
The parish registers of Bearstead do not begin until 1659, ^ <^^te too late to give any information as to the baptism of James Hunt.
Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of England has the following account of this parish.
"Bearstead (Holy Cross), a parish in the union of Maidstone, hundred of Eyhorne, lathe of Aylesford, Western Division of the county of Kent, two and one half miles east from Maidstone. The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at i6. 7. 4 ; present net income £igi; patrons and appropriators Dean and Chapter of Rochester. A fair is held here on September 14th."
James Hunt was married three times. Gilbert Cope, of West Chester, writes as follows under date of 9th month 15th, 1893: " James Hunt's ist wife was Eliza, daughter of John Chambers, brother of Benjamin Chambers of Philadelphia, from the parish of Bearstead in Kent. She had a sister Elizabeth who married Matthew Clemison and Stephen Jackson. James Hunt was ako from Bearstead."
He was a widower when he arrived in Pennsylvania.

Here follows another transaction in land in which James Hunt was interested (page 298 of vol. cited supra). It seems to relate to the farm on which he settled and on which he lived, during the latter part of his life, and where he died.
James Hunt Claiming 75 Acres, one Moiety of 150 Acres, granted by Patent from Gov'r Lovelace, dated loth i mo 1670, in Kingsessing, Also more Purchased of Lawrence Cock, who, as 'tis said purchased of Andr. Peterson ;

Also 91 A's purchased of the Widdow Dolby, Peter and Wm., Dolby and John Masset by Deed dated 29th 12 mo., 1687, granted to Peter Dalbo in 3 parcels, one of 50, one of 20, and one of 10 Acres, by Patent from Fr. Love- lace dated i8th Feb'y '72, Request Resurvey on the said 266 Acres together with a Tract of 45 Acres of Meadow or Marsh adjoyn:ng, for which he obtained a Warrant from the Commiss're dated 14th 4th 1690, for 1/3 of the Meadow between Kingsesson Creek and Land Creek. Ordered that a War- rant of Resurvey be granted to the said James Hunt for the said 266 Acres, and that the said Marsh be also resurvey'd without making any Manner of Title to any more than the said 266 Acres.
According to the plan of the Proprietary, the first purchasers were to be entitled to have certain plots of ground allotted to them in the City proper. The follow^ing relates to James Hunt's City lot (from page 32 of the same Series of the Pennsylvania Archives already cited).
Minute Book " D ". At a Meeting of the Commiss'rs ye 5th 2d month 1690. Present, Rob't Turner, Jno., Goodson, Sam'l Carpenter, Wm. Markham . . . Benj. Chambers Requesting that he might have 100 foot in breadth Joyning to the N. E. part of James Hunt's Lott on the bank of the Proprietor's Land at the North End of Philad'a, It was granted him he being obliged to Leave 40 foot for a Street through it from one Street to the other."
James Hunt's farm was situate in Kingsessing, along what was known as Minquas Kill, or Creek, afterwards called Mingos Creek, and near where the present Island Road crosses the stream adjacent to Bell Road Station on the Chester Branch of the Philadelphia and Reading R. R. and is now in the southern part of the 27th Ward of the City of Philadelphia.
Minquas Kill in early times was of quite a good size. In fact it formed one of the mouths of the River Schuylkill, emptying into the Muckruton or Darby Creek, and so along the shores of Tinicum Island into the Delaware River. Branching off from Minquas Creek are several small creeks or, more correctly speaking, were several small creeks, such as Church and Bow, the latter running into Darby Creek. Although the land at the present day is marshy, most of these creeks are known in name only. On 9th month lOth, 1686, James Hunt married for his second wife at " ye house of John Blunston," Elizabeth Bonsall.
Elizabeth Bonsall died in Darby on 6th month 28th, 1703, and it is believed that she was one of the daughters of George and Hannah
LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
Wood of the above place. The exact date of her birth has not been ascertained, but was about 1655.
The following names of the witnesses to the marriage certificate of James Hunt and Elizabeth Bonsall are taken from a MS. account of the Bonsall Family prepared by Spencer Bonsall, and deposited at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. In this MS. however, Spencer Bonsall does not correctly name the parents of Elizabeth Bonsall.
George Wood John Wood Richard Bonsall John Blunston Wil., Gabitas Henry Gibins Thomas Worth John Wood John Smith Thomas Bradshaw Thomas Hood Samuel Bradshaw.
Joshua Fearne Joseph Wood John Bartram Adam Roades Edmund Cartledge John Roades
Elizabeth Bartram Sarah Blunston Jane Parker
Mary Bonsall Elinor Wood Elin Garrett Ann Garrett Anna Sellers Dorothy Smith Elizabeth Neler
The marriage certificate does not say whether Elizabeth Bonsall was a widow or not, neither does it state that James Hunt was a widower ; but this is known to be so. It is believed, for reasons to be given, that Elizabeth Bonsall was a daughter of George and Hannah Wood of Darby.
In the first place, it will be noted that in the marriage certificate, the men sign by themselves. The first man to sign being George Wood, the next his son, John Wood. These were undoubtedly near relatives of either the bride or groom. There is no evidence extant to show that they were related to James Hunt, but on the other hand there is very strong evidence that they were near relations of Eliza- beth Bonsall. The next name is that of Richard Bonsall; he had married Mary, another daughter of George and Hannah Wood, previous to his removal to Pennsylvania. The next signer was John Blunston at whose house the marriage took place, and the others were friends, or perhaps distant relatives. Now, turning to the women signers ; the first name is Mary, wife of Richard Bonsall, daughter of George Wood. The next is Elinor Wood, another daughter of George Wood, who afterwards married Evan Bevan, at
HUNT. 137
Darby nth month 3rd ( ?), 1693. Elin Garrett signs next, but what relation if any to the bride or groom has not developed. Anne Garret and Dorothy Smith were the overseers appointed by Darby Monthly Meeting to see that the marriage was conducted in accord- ance with the good order of the Society of Friends.
At the time of the marriage of Evan Bevan and Elinor Wood, the former being of Haverford, bachelor, and she of Darby, at Darby Meeting nth month 9th, 1693, the men signed as follows:
(The women signed as under here given) John Bevan Ann Bevan Rebecca Fearn
George Wood Elizabeth Bevan Ellin Gibbin
John Wood Ellin Garrat Mary Bartram
John Bevan Jr Rachel Wharton Sara Blunston
James Hunt Elizabeth ffearn Elizabeth Bartram
Sarah Garrat Elizabeth Clemson
Alex. Beardsly Elizabeth Lewis
Rees Thomas Evan Harry John Blunston.
John Bevan was the father of Evan Bevan, George Wood was the father of Ellinor Wood, John Wood was brother to Ellinor Wood, John Bevan, Jr., was a brother of Evan Bevan, and James Hunt appears as a near connection of the bride. As already stated he married a sister of the bride, who was the widow of a man named Bonsall. To further confirm this, James Hunt in his will, which will be referred to in full later, says : " I do constitute and appoint my brother-in-law John Wood, and friend Thomas Paschall, Overseers." George Wood in his will, which will also be referred to in full later, mentions having daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, and Elinor (without giving their married names), and son John. This is pretty conclusive evidence that James Hunt's second wife was widow of a man named Bonsall, perhaps a brother to Richard Bon- sall, and that she was one of the daughters of George Wood. After- wards, for his third wife, James Hunt married, 1707, Sarah Wild- man, of Falls Township, Bucks County. From Darby Monthly Meeting Minute Book we find that James Hunt and Sarah Wildman declare their intentions of marriage a second time, loth month 3rd, 1707. She outlived him, and is believed to have removed to her former home in Bucks County, for she received a certificate of removal from Darby, 7th month 4th, 171 7.
138 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
In the first tax list for Philadelphia County, 1693, James Hunt is assessed in that part of the Province set apart for the inhabitants of the Welsh Tract and the Swedes ; it was near the settlement of the latter that James Hunt lived in Kingsessing.
There is no record of James Hunt having filled any public posi- tion or held ofiice; he appears, however, to have been a consistent member of the Religious Society to which he belonged. Two days before his death, he made his will, which is dated the 29th of first month, 1717 (March), and proved April 3rd, 1717. The following is an abstract of it :
Register of Wills Office Philadelphia, Book D., page 69. James Hunt of ye Township of Kingsessing, County of Philadelphia, province of Pennsyl- vania ..."

JARMAN
J A R M A N.
John Jarman was born in the parish of Llangurig, Montgomery- shire, and was, Mr. Lloyd supposes, son of Arthur Jarman of the same parish, and Audrey, daughter of David Lloyd of Llangurig. He removed to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1683, bringing with him the following certificate of removal :

The following copies and abstracts of documents are cited in proof of the Jarman and Lloyd pedigrees ; but, as will appear, there is a doubt as to whether John Jarman, son of Arthur and Audrey, is identical with the John Jarman who removed to Pennsylvania.

October, 1662. Surities : David Jenkin of Llangurick and John David of Llanidloes, Gentlemen. Witnesses to Bond : Humphrey Davies and Morris Evans (Probate Registry, Bangor).
(Arthur Jarman had been one of the Chief Constables of Mont- gomeryshire; see Montg. Colls., viii, 243.)
Nuncupative Will of Audrey Jarman, of the parish of Llangurig, dated 2Sth November 1675 ; proved 27 January, 1676. To her eldest daughter Alice. £50. To her youngest daughter Ursula £30. She leaves all the rest of her estate to her only son John Jarman, who is sole executor. Overseers : Kinsman Evan Davies of St. Harmon in the County of Brecon (Radnor). Witnesses to declaration: Evan Davies and Morgan Lloyd. Witnesses: Edward Watkin, Thomas James and Morris Lloyd. (Probate Registry, Bangor.)
(This John Jarman was of age in 1676, as letters were issued to him as executor, instead of the appointment of someone to serve in his place until his majority, which was the usual procedure when the executor named was a minor.)
The John Jarman who removed to Pennsylvania joined the Society of Friends about 1676-7 ; and was then living at Llanidloes, adjoining Llangurig parish.
The following from Exchequer Bills and Answers for Mont- gomeryshire, 2 George I, relate to a suit to recover possession of certain lands which had belonged to Evan Lloyd, the brother of Audrey Jarman. There can be no doubt whatever as to the identity of the persons named, but the dates given in the statement by the plaintiff are strangely erroneous. Audrey Jarman died in 1676, not 1692, and could not, therefore, have been alive in 1687, as stated in the Bill. Nor could her son John Jarmon, if he was identical with John Jarmon who removed to Pennsylvania, have attempted to lease the premises in question in 1700, as the latter died in Pennsyl- vania in 1697. His heirs, however, might have attempted to do so. The discrepancies in some of the dates are explained by the fact that this suit was instituted 40 years after Audrey's death. One of the dates, that of the death of Evan Lloyd, which is stated to have occurred in 1698 or 1699, is corrected in the "Answer" to 1702. The real difficulty, however, is that the petitioner states that John Jarmon, son of Audrey, is still (t. e., 2 George II) in possession of one of the premises in question, and refuses to deliver it up, yet the John Jarman who removed from Llangurig to Pennsylvania, at
JARMAN. 145
the time the Bill was prepared, had long been dead. Radnor Records record his burial 12 mo. 14th, 1697. His son John, however, may have been intended to be meant. The latter visited Wales several times about the time this suit was pending.
Exchequer B. & A. 2 Geo. I. Montgomery.
No. 5. Maurice Lloyd v. Jenkin Lloyd.
Sheweth that Petitioner Maurice Lloyd of the parish of Llangirick co., Montgomery is the eldest son and heir of Evan Lloyd who was son and heir of David Lloyd both of the same parish and both deceased.
Whereas David Lloyd Petitioners grandfather being in his lifetime about 1671 seized as of fee simple of several messuages, lands, &c., as follows : One Messuage called Havod y feddgar in Llangirick and another called Llast y Tant in the same parish & another called Dythyny ty Mawre same parish all of the value of £30 per ann.
In consideration of a marriage then to be had between Evan Lloyd son of David and Mary Williams daughter of Lewis Williams of Llewyn Rhuddod gent, deceased, who were Petitioners father and mother, David Lloyd did settle all the said premises upon certain trustees upon himself for life and afterwards upon his son and the heirs of his body & for want of such heirs to Maurice Lloyd his the said Davids 2* son & the heirs of his body & for want of such heirs to the right heirs of himself David.
He the said David died in 1681 and he did not alter this settlement but con- firmed it on his deathbed. Evan Lloyd died in 1698 or 99 without a Will when the property ought to have come to Petitioner but his father having left no personal property & Petitioner being very poor was unable to assert his rights to his uncle Maurice Lloyd took possession of the property and kept it till his death in 1706 and upon his death his widow Jane Lloyd took part of it and the rest went to Jenkin Lloyd eldest son of Maurice who have enjoyed it ever since under some pretended deed of Mortgage said to have been made in 1681 by Evan Lloyd for the sum of £50 which being unpaid they declare that the whole estate is forfeited to them. Petitioner says the money was paid and the deed ought to have been delivered up and cancelled. Defendants hold all the deeds and papers relating to the property.
The witnesses who could have proved the truth of these things are either dead or gone beyond seas.

146 LLO^D MANUSCRIPTS.
Try yor Dre Llandiloes of the value of £40 per an. He died in 1681 having settled the property upon Evan Lloyd his son & heir & the heirs of his body.
Evan borrowed £50 from his brother Maurice (a* son of David) and as security for payment conveyed to him i tenement in Llangirick subject to redemption on payment of £50 which was paid but the deed was lost. Peti- tioners father put him in possession of some of the lands until 1687 when Evan suffered his sister Audrey Jarman to receive the rents of the premises in Llandiloes during her life to maintain her and bring up her son John Jarman the rents of which she received till 1692 when she died. The prop- erty should then have returned to Evan Lloyd but John Jarman being poor was allowed to continue in possession to 1698 or 9 when Evan Lloyd died giving strict charge that John Jarman was to quite possession which he still refuses to do.
Petitioner being very poor at the time of his father's death could not assert his rights, the rest of his property being detained by his uncle and his cousin Jenkin Who together with Sidney Wilson (Jekins father-in-law) refuse to give up the property or make any compensation to Petitioner or let him see any deeds relating to the property.
ANSWER OF JANE LLOYD, DEFENDANT.
Jane Lloyd says it is true that Petitioner's grandfather David Lloyd was seized of the premises in 1671 but they are now only worth ii8: 10:0 per an.
She believes there was no marriage settlement but the property did descend to Evan Lloyd who held it till 1702 when he died and not in 1698 or 99. Evan Lloyd was very poor at the time of his death and left no personal estate which she believes was the reason why the Petitioner did not assert his rights sooner and had he applied to her without putting her to this trouble she would have done him justice herein.
She only holds Llyast y Pant which is worth £4: 10: o per an. the rest is in the possession of her son Jenkin who has held it since his father's death in 1707 and had he obeyed his father's dying request he would have given it up to Petitioner.
She believes that David Lloyd charged Evan to let the property descend to his heir but Evan mortgaged it to Mrs Stedman for what amount she does not know, but believes her husband paid and discharged it by virtue of which the premises were possessed by them.
The statement of the petitioner in above bill, that John Jarman (in 2 George II) "still refuses" to quit possession, may, of course, as above noted, refer to his legal representatives ; but this is doubt- ful, and the above cited records, transcripts of which Mr. Lloyd received, apparently, just before his death, throw considerable doubt upon the supposition that John Jarman who removed to Pennsyl-
JARMAN. 147
vania in 1683, was a son of Arthur and Audrey, especially as the Jarmans were a numerous family in the neighbourhood of Llangurig.
The name was often spelled, both in Wales and Pennsylvania, Jerman, German, Gurmon, Germon, etc. The pedigree of Audrey Lloyd, wife of Arthur Jarman, is briefly as follows: .
As stated, John Jarmon died in Pennsylvania in 1697, leaving a widow, Margaret, to whom a warrant for 153 acres of land in Radnor Township, was issued 25 October, 1703. (Ashmead's " Del- aware County," p. 680.)
Will of Margaret Jerman of Radnor, in the County of Chester, Pennsylvania, widow. Dated 23 Dec, 1731 ; proved 13 June, 1741. She mentions her son John Jerman, to whom she leaves the planta- tion she now lives on in Radnor " the same that was confirmed to me by Patent." Daughters, Margaret, Priscilla, EHzabeth and Sarah — ^grandchild Solomon Thomas. Witnesses: John Morgan, John Cruss, Thomas Thomas.
Children of John Jarman and Margaret his wife :
John, born 9th month 12th, 1684; died 7th month, i6th, 1769; married,
first, Ann ?; secondly, Mary. . . .
Margaret, born 7th month, 9th, 1687; married David Evan.
Elizabeth, born 9th month i6th, 1691 ; married 2d month 28th, 1712, Peter
Taylor, Jr. Sarah, born 12th month, 14th, 1695; married Thomas Thomas.
Priscilla, married Joseph Thomas, of Newcastle, Delaware County.
Mr. Lloyd's notes express doubt as to whether the above list of children of John and Margaret Jarmon is complete; but he says that John, Jr., had no son Lewis as stated in the Walker Genealogy.
Lewis Jarmon from Llangurig, Montgomeryshire, probably a kinsman of John, was in Chester County, Pennsylvania, before 1715, and Edward Jarman, or Jerman, from the same neighbourhood, was early in Philadelphia.
John Jarman, Jr., visited Wales several times. There are records of his application for certificates for such journeys, 8th month 8th, 1713, 2d month 8th, 1714, 8th month, 1718, and 9th month, 1720. (It is practically certain that he was in Wales at the time the suit was brought to dispossess John Jarmon and the Lloyds of Llangurig, 2 George II ; but whether the suit was actually against him, and the Bill carelessly omitted to state that John Jarmon, Sr., was dead, or whether the petitioner confused John, Jr., with his father, supposing

the latter &till alive in Pennsylvania, it is impossible from the evi- dence before us to decide.)
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has several of the alma- nacs that were prepared or edited by John Jerman, Jr. The first issued by him was for the year 1721. The Society has one for that year, as well as those for 1743, 1746, 1751, 1752, 1755, 1758 and 1760. That for 1751, has on the Title Page, "The American Alma- nack for the Year of Christian Account, 1751, By John Jerman, Philm, Philadelphia, printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall." For 1721 (the first one issued) the introductory is as follows. "An Ephermeris for the Year 1721 or an Almanack containing the Motions and Aspects of the Planets &c. By John Jerman, A.S."
Friendly Reader: —
I have here composed an Almanack or Ephemeris for this Year 1721 ; Containing the Planets Motions every day at noon, which I thought would be of most use and service to all Young Students. The Sun and Moon are to Degrees and Minutes, but the other five planets and Dragon's Head only to Degrees, which is sufficient for any ordinary use. I have also judged the Weather according to the judgment of Authors, together with something of my own Experience therein, but there is no mortal man dare be precisely positive in things of this nature; and the Reason is that many times several Aspects and Positions of Planets in signs of contrary Natures happen at or near the same time, which must needs cause different Qualities in the Air and Weather. Other reasons might be urged, but this in my mind is one of the chief. I have also made a small Hint of the Effects of the Eclipses this Year, and of the Sun's Entrance into the four Cardinal Points, which is customary to be done, and appertaining to this subject: But how things may be Time will evince that, I have followed Ancients Opinions therein, and judged accordingly as I found the Positions and Aspects of the Planets at the said Times, and now I shall conclude, wishing thee Joy and Prosperity, both here and hereafter. Thine to serve, J. J.
Kind and friendly Readers all. Peruse this book, the price is small, Which we an Almanack do call. To attend us all this Year.
Now in time come and draw nigh, These little useful Books to buy. Their benefit when you do try, Will openly appear.
JARMAN. 149
The Planets Places all so plain, This little Volume doth contain, Thus Artists may each Day obtain, Their time and plain Positions.
If this with you acceptance find, It may yet put me in a mind. Next year to publish the same Kind, Where you may find Additions.

The " Pennsylvania Chronicle," for the week July 17-July 24 (1769?), page 218, has the following obituary on John Jerman, Jr.
"On Sunday the i6th instant, departed this life in Radnor Township Chester County, Mr. John Jerman, Philomath, in the 8sth year of his age, and on Thursday morning following, his remains were interred, attended by a number of his relations and neighbours. He was the first male child of European parents, born in said township. A gentleman well known for his astronomical calculations."

JENKINS-GRIFFITH.
William Jenkins was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, 1648. The names of his parents, have not been ascertained. He died within the limits of Abington Monthly Meeting, Pennsylvania, 4th month 7'th, 1712, The entry in the book of Burials and Deaths of that Monthly Meeting states that his age was about 54, but this must be an error, and no doubt it should be 64. If he had been but 54 in 1712, the year of his birth would have been 1658, and as he was married in 1673, he would at that time have been but 15 years old.^ In his will, which will be given on a future page, he mentions having^ grandchildren, which being the case if he was only 54 at the time of his death, he certainly would have been an unusually youngs grandfather.
He married at Tenby, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, Elizabeth daughter of Lewis Griffith. Here follows an extract of the entry of this marriage in the original book deposited at Somerset House. The Society of Friends, South Division of Wales, Pembroke Monthly Meeting . . . 7th month 2nd, 1673. . . .

Elizabeth Griffith, or EHzabeth daughter of Lewis Griffith, was born in Pembrokeshire, doubtless in the Town of Tenby, in 1652, and died in Pennsylvania, nth month i8th, 1725. An entry in the Say Family Bible, a copy of which has been sent to the writer by Mrs. F. C. Gilmore of San Francisco, California, states that Eliza- beth Jenkins died on " Tuesday i8th of January, 1725-6, aged about 93." The i8th of January, 1725-6, corresponds with nth month 1 8th (Old Style), 1725, but the age as given as 93 should undoubtedly be 73, making the year of her birth 1652, If she had been 93 at the time of her death she would have been born in the year 1632 and therefore 41 years old at the time of her marriage. As she had a child born in 1680 she would have been at that time 48 years old.^
William Jenkins was an original purchaser of land and came from Tenby in South Wales. This place (Dynbych-y-pyscod) is a parish including the In-Liberty and the Out-Liberty, the former constitut- ing the borough, and comprising the sea-port, market-town, and watering-place, of Tenby. It is in the hundred of Narberth, union and county of Pembroke, 10 miles east from Pembroke, 20 miles southeast from Haverford-west. There is quite a long description of this place in Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Wales, of which the above is an extract.
In Minute Book I of the Board of Property, under date of nth month 6th, 1721, there is an entry relating to the purchase that William Jenkins made (Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. -xix, page 710).
The Prop'r, by Deeds dated the 25, 8b'r, 1681, granted to Wm. Jenkins 1000 acres of Land in this Province, of Tenby, Coun., Pembroke, Emasculator. Wm. Jenkins, by Indent'rs dated ye 3, 7, 1686, for £11, Money of Engl'd, granted to Francis Howel, of Llancilio, in the County of Carmarthen. 500 acres of the same with the Proportion of lib. Land and the moiety of the City Lot.
^This is not impossible, nor is the difference between her stated age and that of her husband. Many such cases are of record.

On page 279. The Prop'ry by Lease and Release, dated Granted to William Jenkins 1000 acres, and by Like Deeds dated 19th and 20th Jan'y, Granted to Thomas Simmonds 500 a's, whose Son, John Simmonds, after his Father's Decease, Granted the said 500 a's To Thomas Merchant, who by an Instru- ment dated 15th 2 mo., 1694, constituted the said Will'm Jenkins his attorney. Wm Jenkins by Vertue of his Said Purchase of 1000 acres of which 20 a's is Liberty Land, and by Vertue of the said Letter of attorney, in behalf of Thomas Merchant, and in right of the said 500 a's (to which 10 acres Lib. Land belongs) convey'd 30 acres, the Proportion of both the said Purchasers, to said William Edwards.
Part of this land was near the present Frazer Station on the Pennsylvania Railroad in East Whiteland, Chester County. Of the 500 acres referred to as being granted to Francis Howell, 300 were laid out at Duffrin Mawr, the Great Valley of Chester Valley. William Jenkins with his wife and family arrived in the Province prior to the " ist of ye 2nd mo, 1685," for in the court records of Chester County, he was on that date appointed to serve as a juror from Haverford. His farm was located in Haverford Township, near the centre of the West line of that township, and a short dis- tance east of Darby Creek, off of the West Chester Turnpike. Here he resided until the year 1697, when he removed to Abington. He at once became interested in the welfare of his fellow colonists, and at different times served in public offices. His name is attached to the petition sent by William Markham, to the proprietary, praying for certain rights in the Welsh Tract. This is dated,
" Philadelphia the 23d, 2d mo. 1688." "... That they yo'r Pet'rs should have ab't forty thousand acres of Land contiguously layd out as a Barony and that they should not be obliged to answer nor serve in any Co'rt whatso- ever but should have Co'rts & magistrates of their owne ..." (Futhey & Cope's " History of Chester County," page 29, &c.)
On loth month 8th, 1691, he appears as a Justice of the Peace. In 1693 the Court Records state that
"John Simcocke, John Bristow, George Meriss (Maris) & William Jenkins, former Justices of the Peace in the Countie of Chester did give a dilatorie answer to his Excell: proposall to have them continued in that office."
In the first tax list for Chester County, 1693, in the Township of Haverford, William Jenkins is taxed ioo. .03..09. He became a

member of the Assembly on May loth, 1690, and again on September 9th, 1695. He was also a member of the Provincial Council for the years 1692 &c. (See Unpublished Minutes of The Provincial Council, 1692, Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., Vol. ii,. page 151.)

In the proceedings of the Provincial Council held at Philadelphia 1 6th, 9br, 1703, it will be found that he was one of a committee of six from Philadelphia County appointed to view "the said two- Roads as now laid out or intended in ye County of Chester & view- ing also ye Ground between ye sd Roads & Philada & between Goshen and Brandywine."
In 1697 William Jenkins removed from Haverford to Abington. His name appears in Abington Monthly Meeting Minutes, loth month 27th, 1697, being appointed with Joseph Phipps to solicit subscriptions in Philadelphia towards the erection of the new Meeting House. His plantation in Abington Township was situate in what is now Jenkintown. Phineas Jenkins a grandson of his being the founder of that town. The title to this farm to Wil- liam Jenkins, was as follows :

William Jenkins being a member of the Society of Friends prior to his coming to Pennsylvania, did not escape persecution in his native land as the following extracts from Besse's "Sufferings of the People called Quakers" will show:

Christopher Knight, it is believed, came to the Island of Antigua, from Bristol, England, or certainly from a near-by parish. The exact place and time of his birth are, however, unknown. In Vere Langford Oliver's "History of Antigua," it is stated that Christopher Knight, in connection with John Knight, had a patent for 73 acres of land in the year 1668. This appears to be the earliest mention of Christopher Knight in Antigua. He must have been of age in that year. In or before the year 1678 he married Frances, daughter and one of the co-heirs of WilHam Duncan then residing in the Island of Antigua. She was born circa, 1650-55; probably in Scotland. On page 84 of Vol. i of Oliver's history, there is a note taken from the " Close Roll, I, George II, Part 8, No's 15 & 16" relating to a transfer of land, which is as follows:
Indenture made the 23rd of June 1727 between James Duncan of Kircaldie
in Scotland mariner of the one part and John Burke of Antigua &c
James Duncan grants to John Burke all messuages &c., . . . either in his own right or in right of his late wife Frances Duncan, deceased.
It seems probable that this James Duncan and the above named William Duncan were kinsmen.
Frances Duncan wife of Christopher Knight was dead before 1 70 1, for in that year on the 24th of July, at St. Johns, Antigua, he married Margaret, widow of Henry Hodge, and mother of Henry Hodge, Jr., who married Frances Knight daughter of Christopher Knight and Frances Duncan. No record has been founu to indicate that Christopher Knight had issue by his second wife. The follow- ing extracts relating to land grants are from the "History of Antigua."
1668, Christopher and John Knight, patent for 73 acres. 1668, Katherine Knight daughter of China Knight deceased, 10 acres. China Knight died 10 November 1663. Katherine Knight is designated as daughter and heiress, of China Knight. (This is an odd name for a given name, the writer of this narrative genealogy has surmised that it may have been a cutting short of the surname Challoner. A family of that name being con- nected with a Knight family of Bristol circa 1615-20).

It seems probable that the above named John Knight and Chris- topher Knight were related to each other.
In 1673, February, an account or inventory of the goods of a Henry Knight of Antigua, planter, deceased, was filed; they were valued at 350 lbs. of sugar, he also owned 58 acres of land.

John Knowles, was born 9th month 23rd, 1682, at West Challow in the county of Berks, England, and died 1743, in Oxford Town- ship, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He was son of John Knowles and Elizabeth (Newman) of Challow. The two Challows, East and West, are chapelrys in the parish of Letcomb-Regis, and are both in the union of Wantage and hundred of Kintbury-Eagle, in the county of Berks. West Challow is two miles west-northwest from Wantage. The chapel is dedicated to St. Lawrence.
Letcomb Regis (St. Andrew), the parish in which the two Challows are situate, is two miles southwest by west from Wantage. These places are all in the north centre of the county of Berks. Near the latter place in the neighbouring parish of Stanford in the Vale, lived a family named Knollys, sometimes spelled Knowlles; but they appear to have been of an entirely distinct origin from that of Knowles of Challow.
About the year 1695, John Knowles, then a lad of about thirteen years of age, removed with his mother, a widow, to Pennsylvania ; his father, John Knowles, having died just prior to that date. They settled in Oxford Township, Philadelphia County, and John Knowles married, at Oxford Meeting (which was then In existence), in the year 1705, on 4th month 5th, Ann Paul. She was a daughter of Joseph Paull (or Paul) by his wife Margaret, and was born in England, probably in Somersetshire, about the year 1683-4. She died in Merion, Pennsylvania, 1750.
The original marriage certificate of John Knowles and Ann Paul is in the MSS. collection of the late Dr. James J. Levick, and in the possession of his sister Elizabeth R. Levick of loio South 47th Street, West Philadelphia. Here follows a brief extract of it, with the names of the witnesses in order of signing as found in the first column to the right :

John Knowles and his wife were members of the Society of Friends. He was one of a jury to lay out a road in Oxford Town- ship. Here follows the account of this matter as found in Minutes of the Provincial Council, Colonial Records of Pennsylvania, Vol. iii, page 218.
At a Council held at Philadelphia May 20th, 1723, Mr. Logan the Secre- tary, produced a Return of an Order of Council of febry 19th last which is as follows:

It is not known that John Knowles held any public office. He died in 1743, or rather that was the year in which his will was proved, a brief extract from which is here given, as well as of that of his wife, Ann Knowles, formerly Paul.
Will of John Knowles, dated March 29th, 1739; proved at Philadelphia, Feb., 23rd, 1743. He calls himself "John Knowles of Oxford Township, Philada., County, carpenter." Mentions his daughter Sarah, late uncle Ed- mond Orpwood also his daughters, Ann, Margaret, Martha and Hannah his niece Sarah Knowles and grand-daughter Ann Oborn, his wife Ann, and son John Knowles. He names as his executors his wife Ann, brothers-in- law James Paul, of Abington, and Thomas Gilpin of Concord. The witnesses were Francis Knowles, Thomas Hart, William Parsons, Sebastian Murey. In a codicil, dated January 26th 1743 he mentions that his daughter Ann now being married &c., and his niece Sarah now deceased &c., he names his son John Knowles to be one of his executors. Witnesses to the codicil. Joseph Paul, Mary Addis and Robert Greenway. Will Book G., page 93. Register of Wills OfHce Philadelphia.

It would appear, from an entry in Abington Monthly Meeting Minutes, that John Knowles and wife lived for sometime in the City of Philadelphia, about the year 1720. On 7th month 26th of that year, a certificate was produced for himself and his wife from Phila- delphia, which was read and accepted.

John Knowles was born circa 1655 in Berkshire, England; prob- ably in West Challow, parish of Letcomb Regis, and died after 1691 and before 1695 (probably in the year 1694) just prior to the time of the coming of his widow to Pennsylvania. He was a son of another John Knowles and Joan of East Challow, Berkshire. In 1681 he married Elizabeth Newman according to the usages of the Society of Friends. Both he and his wife were members of Witney Monthly Meeting. Here follows a transcript of the marriage certificate from the record in the original book at Somerset House.

As the widow of John Knowles she removed to Pennsylvania about 1695, for in that year, on the 6th of July, there is a record of a mort- gage made by Peter Keurlis of Germantown, baker, to Elizabeth Knowles, widow, of Oxford Township, (Recorder of Deeds Office, Philadelphia, Book E, 4, Vol. 7, page 28.) On the 12th month 23rd, 1699, at Philadelphia Meeting, she married, secondly, Thomas Griffith, and died 12th month 23rd, 1726. Thomas Griffith died ist month 5th, 1727. His will is on file at Philadelphia, a copy being in Book E, page 21. He mentions John Knowles of Oxford, Francis Knowles of Philadelphia, and Hannah Knowles, spinster. This will is dated, 12th month 12th, 1726; proved 8th March, 1726-7. He left no issue by Elizabeth (Newman). She was a witness to the will of John Busby of Philadelphia, 8th month 3rd, 1699.

John Knowles, of West Challow, Berkshire, was born, probably in East Challow, about 1630. Unfortunately the Parish Registers of both East and West Challow as well as those of Letcomb Regis begin either too late or are in such a bad condition that nothing definite can be learned from them. Those of East Challow do not begin until 1712; those of West Challow in 1653; but the latter are imperfect, while those of Letcomb Regis do not begin until 1697. There is no positive information as to who his wife was, or the date of his marriage, but her name is known to have been Joan.
The list of burials recorded in Witney Monthly Meeting, extracts at Devonshire House, London, gives the following :
" Knowles, Joan, of West Challow, wife of John, Witney Monthly Meet- ing, at Farringdon, on nth month 9th, 1676."
John Knowles was a son of Andrew Knowles of East Challow. Members of the Knowles family became converted to the belief of the Society of Friends or Quakers about the year 1660. In Besse's " Sufferings of the People called Quakers," there are several refer- ences to those by the name of Knowles. Here are a few notices.
Vol. i, Berkshire. Anno 1660, 3rd of October, some Friends were taken from a Meeting held at Steventon (This is about eight miles from Challow to the North East.) "About ten days after this, there were taken out of a Meeting at Mary Slades at Kingston Lisle, Humphrey Knowles & others." (Kingston Lisle is about three miles West of the Challows). Anno 1677, June 15th, at the suit of Stephen Penston an Impropriator for tithes of 3 shillings, John Knowles of East Challow sent to Reading Gaol. At another time John Knowles had taken from him the value of £3. 16. 6. In 1685, at Challow, there was taken from John Knowles 10 shillings and from Francis Knowles the same amount.
1685 is the last time that the name of Francis Knowles occurs but that of John Knowles occurs as late as 1688.

Banbury is in the north of the northeastern part of Oxfordshire. Witney is in the southern part of Oxfordshire, about ten or twelve miles from Abington in Berkshire, and about the same distance from Farrington, or Farringdon, in Berkshire.
LLOYD.
LLOYD.
Among Mr. Lloyd's MSS., are two volumes embracing the results of his researches in re the ancestry of Robert and Thomas Lloyd, early settlers in Merion. His correspondence on this subject and re- ports from those who, from time to time, he employed in making researches in Welsh records, are scattered through four volumes of similar letters and papers. Mr. Lloyd based his investigations on the proposition that Robert and Thomas Lloyd were cousins, either first or second, or by marriage, to Robert Owen who removed from near Bala, Merionethshire, Wales, to Merion in the Province of Pennsyl- vania, in 1690, and died in 1697. His method of research was an attempt to ascertain all of the kinsmen and kinswomen of Robert Owen and Rebecca his wife, and to determine who they married and the names of their children. He also investigated all of the numerous families residing near Bala, so far as the ability of his correspon- dents permitted. Unfortunately, Mr. Lloyd died before recent inves- tigations in Wales brought to light much additional data regarding the antecedents of the first settlers of Merion. About 1896, Mr. Lloyd decided that the relationship of the Lloyd brothers to Robert Owen was through the latter's wife; but at that time he had only circumstantial evidence upon which to base his conclusions, and hesitated to commit them to MS. except in a tentative way. At this time he drew up a paper entitled "Circumstantial Evidence showing Probable Descent of Robert Lloyd." In some pages giving an account of Robert Lloyd of Merion, written about 1896, Mr. Lloyd says : " On the page devoted to an account of the supposed relationship between Robert Lloyd and Robert Owen and his wife, the relationship between the above signers will be more fully set forth." The word supposed, however, was subsequently deliberately pencilled out, evidently immediately before his death. In one of the MS. volumes above referred to are several tentative pedigrees giving the supposed parentage of Robert and Thomas Lloyd and their sister Gainor; but in a later pedigree, on pages 198-9 of Volume ii, as well as elsewhere, the brothers and sister are given as the children of David Lloyd of Cowney, without any

question marks (as on page 189) pencilled (for dotted or tentative line) as on other pages, or anything to indicate that Mr. Lloyd had not discovered information which confirmed his supposition, for he made it a constant practice to mark all tentative or trial pedigrees as such.
Again, on page 183, under a pedigree of Rebecca, wife of Robert Owen, is this note.
" I believe John Thomas ap Howell and John Humphrey to have been second cousins and Rebecca Owen and Robert Lloyd to have been second
cousins."
1/1/98 (Signed) Howard W. Lloyd.
The above statement indicates that Mr. Lloyd was convinced of the correctness of his conclusions.
Another definite statement giving Robert, Thomas, and Gainor Lloyd as the children of David of Cowney, is made on page 197. Information included in this pedigree, by comparison with corre- spondence, proves it to have been compiled very shortly before ^Ir. Lloyd's decease; moreover, the remainder of the pages of this volume, excepting one, are blank. In the same volume are two rough designs for a book plate. They include the arms of the Lloyds of Cowney, Montgomeryshire, and are thus inscribed :
(o) Cownevy — Howard Williams Lloyd — Merion 1683 — Germantown, 1897.
(&) 1683-1898, Llewelyn Aurdorchog — David Lloyd de Llanw'ddyn — Cowney — Robert Lloyd of Merion Pa. — Howard W. Lloyd — German- town.
There are other definite statements in his MSS. of the above descent, and corrections of earlier surmises. The writer was aware that Mr. Lloyd claimed David Lloyd of Cowney, the Quaker, as father of Robert Lloyd of Merion, and in a conversation with him, a short time before his death, gathered that there was no doubt on the subject. Some time afterwards the matter was investigated independently of Mr. Lloyd's notes, and since the latter were placed in the writer's hands in May, 1909, the whole evidence has been reviewed and most of the original documents which are cited, re- examined, with the following result:
In the first place it has not been proved that David Lloyd of Cowney, the Quaker, was first cousin to Owen Humphrey of Llwyn du, father of Rebecca, wife of Robert Owen.
LLOYD. 191
The pedigree claimed by Mr. Lloyd, however, is partly proved as follows :
That Rebecca, wife of Robert Owen was daughter of Owen Humphrey, of Llwyn du, by original marriage certificate dated 11 March, 1678-9. That Owen Humphrey was son of Humphrey ap Hugh, by entry of his baptism in the Parish Register of Llangelyn, the record reading: Omnius filius humffredi ap hiigh dd bapt. fuit ij ApHlis, i62p. The parentage of Owen Humphrey is also proved by deeds relating to the estate of LLwyn du and by a marriage settlement, in re marriage of Anne Humphrey (or Humflfrey) daughter of Humphrey ap Hugh of Llwyngwrill, gentleman, and Rowland Ellis, dated i January, 1649 (Original in possession of Edward Griffith Esq., of Springfield, Dolgelley). That Elizabeth, wife of Humphrey ap Hugh, was the daughter of John ap Howel Goch, alias John Powel, of the parish of Llanwddyn, is proved by (a) MS. pedigree in handwriting of Rowland Ellis, and (b) pedigree by Lewis Dwnn, Deputy Herald.
That Mary, wife of David Lloyd of Cowney, was daughter of
John , is proved by record of marriage, 12 February, 1625, in
Llanwddyn Parish Register, and other evidence ; but it is not proved that she was daughter of John ap Howel, or John Powel. That this David Lloyd of Cowney and Mary his wife were the parents of David Lloyd of Cowney, the Quaker, is proved by various wills and entries in Parish Registers, cited by Mr. Lloyd.
It now remains to ascertain the issue of David Lloyd of Cowney. Mr. Lloyd proves by the Parish Register of Llangadvan, at which place David Lloyd, apparently worshipped, after 1675, that he had Susanna, baptized 16 December, 1675, John, baptized May, 1676, Catherine, baptized 20 September 1682, Evan, buried 11 December, 1682, Morris, baptized, 15th June, 1684, and Mary, buried 31 October, 1685. Mr. Lloyd assures us that the David Lloyd who was father of these children was the same person as David Lloyd the Quaker, otherwise one might question if the same man whose name was presented to the Grand Jury at various times between 1678 and 1685 for non-attendance at National Worship, and whose wife was also a member of the Society of Friends, would have had his children baptized in the Parish Church. It is conceivable, however, that some relatives interested themselves in the matter, and that for
192 LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
family reasons David Lloyd permitted his children to be baptized. This seems to be the view taken by Mr. Lloyd, and as his proof of identity seems to be good, there is no reason for not accepting this explanation. Now, as to other children, Mr. Lloyd asserts posi- tively in four continuous pedigrees without any queries attached to them, or anything to suggest that they were tentative, all finished just prior to his death, that David Lloyd of Cowney had three other children, viz : Robert, born 1669, Thomas, born according to other notes of Mr. Lloyd, in or about 1673, and Gainor, all of whom removed to Pennsylvania. For these children there is, so far as the writer can discover, no individual evidence of parentage.
We can, however, it would seem, consider it proved beyond a reasonable doubt, that David Lloyd of Cowney had children, and they may have been second cousins to Rebecca, wife of Robert Owen, which Mr. Lloyd, in an elaborate argument, states to be so; but recent investigations prove that Robert Lloyd was born on a farm adjoining Fron Goch, the birth place of Robert Owen, to whom he was related in several ways, and was baptized at Llanfor, near Bala, 14 January, 1667 (1667-8), and was son of Thomas Lloyd. — Editor.
Robert Lloyd, " the immigrant, and the founder of the family in Pennsylvania, was born in the year 1669;^ but the exact month and day are unknown." The year of his birth is fixed by a memorandum of Rees Lloyd, his son, in the possession of Hannah P. Chandlee, of Ashton, Maryland, a descendant of Gaynor, one of the daughters of Robert Lloyd.
The above record is as follows :

"In the year 1683, when Robert Lloyd was only 14 [16] years old, he came to Pennsylvania. The year of his immigration is fixed from his name appearing in an original paper in the possession of the • Historical Society of Pennsylvania.- A copy will be found in volume viii of the Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., pp. 328-340.
" The editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine has the following note on page 329 : ' It may surprise some of our readers to learn of the number of servants brought out by the early settlers. This was no doubt greatly increased by the liberal terms which Penn offered to emigrants. The advantages offered to those who would come as such were equal. Each was to have fifty acres when the servants times should expire. Nor did the word servant as used here neces- sarily imply a person who was to perform menial duties. On the contrary they were often farm hands or skilled mechanics, in some cases of the same social position as their masters, in others they were no doubt overseers to act for purchasers who remained in Eng- land &c.' "
In Futhey and Cope's " History of Chester County," page 154, is this account of Servants and Head Land.
" Those who came into the province as servants were to be allowed at the end of their service to take up fifty acres of land at a rent of one half penny sterling per acre per annum . . . but this privilege was allowed to such only as came in with the first purchasers . . . many who came as servants after- wards attained to prominent positions in government. . . . We are inclined to suspect that, in order to secure the benefit the meaning of the term was sometimes stretched in its application as far as it would bear. The land thus obtained was called head-land and as previously stated the whole amount surveyed for the right of servants was 4,571 & 3/4 acres. . . . The warrants of survey . . . some of them, contain the words, " in the Town- ships allotted to servants "... and there may have been a township at first intended for such purpose, but it was not in Chester County. The aggre- gate of these surveys amount to 2,000 acres from which it appears that a good proportion of the servants land was located in Chester County."
"It will thus be seen that Robert Lloyd came over in a minor capacity; but if he had 50 acres allotted to him, a careful search
* It has been disputed that this was the same Robert Lloyd who later appears in Marion. As the latter and his brother both possessed considerable means when quite young there seems to be no reason for him to have sold himself, or been sold, as a servant. Again, none of his fellow passengers were kinsmen, or from Wales. — Editor.

through records of deeds failed to show it. In 1697 he is found in Merion, with his kinsmen and countrymen, the Welsh."
The proof that Robert Lloyd was living in Merion in 1697, will be found in the will of Robert Owen, dated " the second day of ye tenth month in ye year 1697." The testator describes himself as " Robert Owen of ye township of Merion in ye county of Phila- delphia, Province of Pensilvania," and appoints "my trustey and well beloved friends, John Umphrey (Humphrey), Hugh Roberts, John Roberts, Griffith John, Robert Jones, Robert Roberts, Robert Lloyd, and Rowland Ellis, to be trustees & overseers." This will was not proved until May i6th, 1705, although Robert Owen died eight days after making it, on loth month loth, 1697. It is recorded at Philadelphia, Office of Register of Wills, in Book B, page 422. The original is No. 155 of 1705, and filed with it, is an inventory and account. In the latter, one of the items is "To i, 1. .9, s. .2, d. paid Robert Lloyd in dyett and lodging to be deducted out of Robert Owens debts." It would appear from this account that Robert Owen owed Robert Lloyd, that the latter had been boarding with the former, and the difference in the accounts was in the favor of Robert Owen's estate by the above amount.^
In 1698 Robert Lloyd married Lowry Jones. The various steps necessary to be taken, looking to this event, prior to the marriage according to the good order in vogue among members of the Soci- ety of Friends, were as follows:
Mem., taken from Radnor, Haverford and Merion Monthly Meet- ing Minutes.
"At our Monthly Meeting held at Merion Meeting House, the nth day of the 6th month, 1698. . . . "Robert Lloyd and Lowry Jones having laid their intentions of marriage before this meeting the first time, Cadd'er Morgan and Edward Jones are ordered to inspect into their clearness from others and bring an account thereof to ye next meeting."
"At our Monthly Meeting held at Radnor the 8th day of the 7th month, 1689. ..." Robert Lloyd and Lowry Jones laid their intentions of marriage &c., ye second time." The committee appointed had reported that the marriage might proceed, having found that both Robert and Lowry were clear from similar engagements. After their marriage the following entry occurs in the monthly meeting minutes.

mother of Lovvry. Jane Morgan was sister to Hannah Jones, and wife of Cadwalader Morgan ; Gainor Lloyd was the sister of Robert and Thomas Lloyd.
Lowry Jones was a daughter of Rees Jones, or following the custom of naming then used in Wales, Rees ap John ap William, i. e., Rees, son of John son William. His wife, the mother of Lowry, was Hannah, daughter of Richard, who had taken Price as a surname. Lowry was born in the year 1680-1, in the township of Iscregenan, parish of Llangelynin, Merionethshire, Wales, and died in Philadelphia, nth month 25th, 1762, when over eighty years old. She was buried in Friends Burial Ground, Arch Street. She was brought from Wales when an infant, and landed in Philadelphia 7th month 17th, 1684, whence her parents proceeded to Merion.
After the death of Robert Lloyd, Lowry married, at Merion Meeting House, 12th month 13th, 1716-17, Hugh Evans, widower. He was born in Merionethshire about the year 1682, and died in Philadelphia 4tli month 6th, 1772, and was a son of Thomas and Ann Evans of Ucheldre, near Bala, Merionethshire, Wales, who removed in 1698 to Gwynedd, Pennsylvania. Hugh Evans was married three times. First, 8th month 4th, 1706, to Catherine, daughter of Cadwalader Morgan of Alerion, who died 6th month nth, 1708; secondly, 6th month 25th, 1710, at Merion, to Alice, daughter of James Lewis of Pembrokeshire, and thirdly, as above to Lowry widow of Robert Lloyd.
Thomas Evans the father of Hugh Evans was married twice. His first wife, Ann, died in Gwynedd ist month 26th, 1716, and on loth month 14th, 1722, at Goshen Meeting, Chester County, he married Hannah Davies (or David) widow of Ellis David, who had died ist month 17th, 1720. She (Hannah) was the mother of Lowry, and widow of Rees John William.
The children of Hugh Evans and his wife Lowry, were: Ann, born ist month 23rd, 1718; married, ist month 8th, 1744-5, Samuel Howell; Susanna, born nth month 25th, 1719-20; died 5th month 4th, 1801 ; married Owen Jones (son of Jonathan Jones and Gainor Owen) of Merion, Abigail; died before 1771, unmarried.
In 1693 Robert Lloyd, having acquired some property, was rated as a tax-payer, his name appearing in " The First Tax List of Philadelphia County" {The Pennsylvania Magazine for 1884, Vol. viii, p. 82 et seq.).

About the year 1698 Robert Lloyd purchased a farm in Merion, on which he settled. A copy of the conveyance to him of this land is here given :

Robert Lloyd produces a return of 482 acres Resurveyed in Meirion in Pursuance of Our Warr't dat. 20, 2 mo last for Resurveying 409 1-2 acres. One moiety of 819 acres Part of Thos. Ellis's land On which said 432 A's the said Robert, Craves a Patent — Granted — vid Welch min's 19, 2 mo. last. The said 819 acres is made up of 625 acres bought of L. Owen, R. Owen, Ellis Morris & Ellis ap Hugh of Robert Davies Purchase and 84 A's of Over- plus and part of the original Purchase.
This plantation was situate not far from the present village of Merion Square, now known as Gladwyne, in Lower Merion Town- ship, Montgomery County. It is about two miles northeast from Bryn Mawr Station on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near to where the Black Rock Road leading from the Schuylkill River to Roberts Road crosses the Old Gulf Road.
Parts of the farm were, in 1891, owned by the L. Barr Estate, Samuel G. Williamson and others. It is adjoining to and bounded on the west by " Harriton " the estate of Mrs. Naomi Morris, and is an ideal spot for a country homestead. The land is rolling, and at one time was heavily timbered. To within quite a recent period there were one or two log houses on these farms. The present owner of the L. Barr estate remembers one of these which stood close to the existing stone plastered dwelling. It was always con- sidered to have been built by one of the early settlers, and was removed about the year 1860.^
* In some cases these log houses were servants* quarters. — Editor.

The brief of title to the Samuel G. Williamson property shows the ownership of Robert Lloyd, and its descent to his sons ; David Lloyd inheriting the farm which is now Williamson's, and Rees Lloyd inheriting that which is now the Barr estate. David Lloyd sold his portion and, it is believed, removed to North Carolina with his family. Of Robert Lloyd's original purchase, he sold, in 1709, 154^ acres to his brother, Thomas Lloyd. The deed to the latter of this land is as follows:

Robert Lloyd held no position under the government. Prior to his marriage, in 1696, he, with a number of others in Alerion, Haver- ford and Radnor, formed a company for the purpose of buying a large tract of land in the then wilderness along the Susquehanna River. A list of the subscribers will be found among the " Penn Papers " at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Robert Lloyd's name appears as a subscriber to the amount of two pounds ten shillings, which was quite a large amount for those days.

Richard Lloyd was born in Lower Merion Township, in what is now Montgomery, then Philadelphia, County, ist month 15th, 1713/4, and died 8th month 9th, 1755 in Darby, then in Chester, but now in Delaware County. He was the youngest child of Robert Lloyd and Lowry Jones, his wife, of Merion. When about twenty three years old he married Hannah, daughter of Samuel Sellers of Darby. She was born 12th month loth, 1717, in Darby, and died in the same place, as the widow of Lewis Davis, 4th month I2th, 1810, and was buried the following day in Darby Friends' Burial Ground.
The minutes of Darby Monthly Meeting have the following in reference to " the goings to and fro " of Richard Lloyd just prior to his marriage. " At a Monthly Meeting held at Darby the 5th of 3rd month, 1736 (among other business), John Marshall and Samuel Bunting are appointed to make inquiry into the clearness of Richard Lloyd, and if found clear to draw a few lines in order to recommend him under the care of Haverford Monthly Meeting and produce it at our next meeting for approbation."
At a Monthly Meeting held the 2nd of 4th month, 1736, " The matter mentioned above was approved and signed."
At the Monthly Meeting held the 4th of 6th month, 1736, Richard Lloyd of Haverford Monthly Meeting and Hannah Sellers of Darby Monthly Meeting declared their intentions of marriage.

On examination of the minute book belonging to Radnor Monthly Meeting (Radnor, Haverford, and Merion), it appears that Richard Lloyd and his wife lived in Merion until 1742. At the Monthly Meeting held on the nth of nth month of that year they requested a certificate of removal to Darby Monthly Meeting, this was granted, and they took up their residence at that place and remained there during the remainder of their lives.
Richard was one of twenty-nine persons who founded the Darby Library, May ist, 1743. On the loth of the same month he signed the articles of agreement.
On November 3rd, 1747, Joseph Bonsall of Darby, who owned the Darby Mills, conveyed to Richard Lloyd three full parts of five and a half acres of land and of the water corn or grist mills com- monly called Darby Mills, with the bolting mills and other appur-

tenances. This deed did not, however, include the fulhng mill. After the death of Richard Lloyd, these mills were assessed as belonging to his sons Isaac and Hugh Lloyd. In Deed Book O, \'"ol. 14, page 285, etc., Chester County Deeds at West Chester, there is recorded a conveyance, an abstract of which is given below. It was made after both Isaac and Hugh Lloyd had arrived at the age of twenty-one years, and this was probably about the time Hugh Lloyd sold his interest in the Darby Mills to his brother Isaac, which was probably done in order to make a title, by conveyance through a third party, for the mills were assessed in the name of Isaac Lloyd, from 1764 to 1802.
Deed made 20th of November, 1764 between Lewis Davis of Haver ford, County of Chester &c., Tanner, and Hannah his wife (late the widow and relict of Richard Lloyd some time since of Darby in the County of Chester aforesaid miller, deceased), Isaac Lloyd of Darby, mill-right and Hugh Lloyd of the same place, miller (sons of the said Richard Lloyd), of the one part and John Roberts of Merion in the County of Philadelphia of the other part . . .

Richard Lloyd did not enjoy good health. In or about -the year 1752 he was recommended to take a trip to New York. This may have benefited him, but not for a very long time. He died, as stated, in the year 1755, in the prime of life, aged only forty-two years.
His will, a copy of which is here given, is at West Chester, Penn- sylvania, recorded in Will Book D., Vol. iv, page 13.

Among other personal property of Richard Lloyd was a tall hall clock (a " grandfathers " clock as we now call them). The case is made of black walnut. This is now in the possession of Isaac Lloyd of No. 924 Clinton Street, Philadelphia. The identity of the clock is proven by the following receipt.
" Rec'd July 28, 1787 of Jonathan Worrill nine pounds in specie being in full for a certain clock which belonged to the estate of Richard Lloyd, deceased. ig. o. o
Isaac Lloyd
Hugh Lloyd"
Jonathan Worrill married Sarah Lloyd, who was a daughter of the Robert Lloyd that Richard Lloyd mentions in his will, con- sequently she was a first cousin to Isaac and Hugh Lloyd. This receipt was found by Franklin Lloyd in an old receipt book, while looking up the ancestry of the family some twenty-five years ago. Franklin Lloyd was a son of Isaac Lloyd, who was son of another Isaac Lloyd, the latter son of Isaac Lloyd brother of Hugh Lloyd. In other words Franklin Lloyd was a great-grandson of Isaac Lloyd, signer of the receipt. Isaac Lloyd, the present owner of the clock, is a first cousin to Franklin Lloyd, being a son of John Lloyd, brother to Isaac the father of Franklin Lloyd, the latter being deceased a number of years. Although Jonathan Worrill and Sarah left no children, the clock did not pass out of the family, remaining with a near relative until within the last five years when Isaac Lloyd of Clinton Street purchased it. This is the only known article, now

In 1764 the Darby Mills, consisting of " water-corn or grist mills " and fulling mills were owned and operated by Hugh and Isaac Lloyd. About the year 1770, Hugh sold his share to his brother Isaac and removed to and operated a mill in Ridley Township on Crum Creek, at a place now known as Lapidea.
At West Chester, in the office of the Recorder of Deeds for Chester County is recorded the following conveyance of land.
Deed Book V, p. 462, year 1777, from Hugh Lloyd of Ridley, miller, and Susanna his wife to Edward Bonsall, a lot of land in High Street, Darby, 142 perches for £50. This was the same ground half of which John Roberts and Jane his wife granted in 1765 to Hugh Lloyd, and the other half was granted to him, in 1766, by Isaac and Ann Lloyd.
At the time of the Revolution, Hugh Lloyd secreted the mill stones so that they could not be destroyed. In one of the orders issued by General Washington to General Potter, requiring the mill stones to be taken from several mills, he particularly mentions Lloyd's, " about two miles on this side of Chester."
In Vol. xiv, 2nd Series, Pennsylvania Archives, on page 65, will be found a list of the names of the Committee of the Associators, or Committee of Observation, chosen for the County of Chester December 20th, 1774, Hugh Lloyd being one of them.
Hugh Lloyd was one of the Deputies to the Provincial Conven- tion held at Philadelphia, July 15th, 1774. He was one of the Com- mittee from Chester County that attended the Provincial Conference held at Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, June i8th, 1775; also a Delegate to the Provincial Convention at Philadelphia, January 23d, 1775. Early in the year 1776, he was commissioned Colonel of Militia in Chester County, and saw active service during the war.
In the Provincial Conference held Tuesday June i8th, 1776, at Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, and on succeeding days to June 25th, inclusive. Colonel Hugh Lloyd was one of the thirteen delegates for the Committee of Chester County. The proceedings are printed in Vol. iii, Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, pp. 635, 665,
In the spring of 1769, the Chester Library was founded, on November loth, 1770, Hugh Lloyd was one of a committee of three instructed to buy books, " with what money is in bank." He was elected a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives

from Delaware Co. for the years 1 790-1 and again 1791-92. On January 5th, 1795 he was appointed one of a committee of five to ascertain and report the site of a lot and probable cost of a suitable building for the Darby Library, but the committee was discharged January 2nd, 1797, on account of not being able to obtain a lot " at a price that would possibly do." He was a member of the Darby Fire Company, and served as clerk for the years 1793 and 1816. In 1793 he was Presidential Elector from Pennsylvania.
On April 24th, 1792, Governor Mifflin commissioned Hugh Lloyd of Darby an associate justice of the courts of Delaware County, which, three years before, had been erected out of Chester County. He held this position for over a third of a century, sending his resignation to Governor Shulze in the following words :
" I the within named Associate Judge of Delaware Co. aged 83 years, 10 months and 9 days by attending every court for thirty three years, one Orphans Court only excepted, having performed the duties of the within commission to the best of my judgment and ability, do by these presents, resign and surrender up my said commission to his Excellency the Governor with the hope that a successor may be appointed to the satisfaction of the majority of said county."
" In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 31st day of De- cember, A. D. 1825. With sentiments of regard &c.
Hugh Lloyd."

Paul Newman was born about 1630. In or about 1680 he was living in Eaton, a township in the parish of Appleton in the hundred of Ock, five and three quarters miles northwest by north from Abington in the northeastern part of the county of Berks. His wife, and it is believed the mother of all of his children, was named Joan. It is pretty certain that Paul Newman died in Pennsylvania. In Abington ]\Ionthly Meeting Minutes there is the following entry: " Paul Newman & other Friends named to attend Quarterly Meet- ing," dated of this appointment, was 26th of 6th month, 1695. The date of his death is not given nor did he leave a will.
There is not much known about Paul Newman, except that like many others of those who lived at or about the same time, who became interested in the doctrine of George Fox, he suffered on account of his belief. Here are a few extracts from Besse's " Suffer- ings " :
Vol. i, Anno 1661 and 1663. Warwickshire, Paul Newman and others to gaol for 10 years for refusing oath of allegiance. Oxfordshire. Paul New- man &c., at Warwick for refusing to swear oath of allegiance, in prison 8 and Yi years. (This may have reference to the first imprisonment, and may be a repetition).
Vol. i, Berkshire, Anno 1678 (after he had been released from confinement). Excommunicated from the Church, Paul Newman, his wife and daughter.
Anno 1683. Paul Newman from a Meeting at Oare. Anno 1683. Paul New- man and his servant Edmund Orpwood to Gaol. In 1684, Paul Newman of Eaton. In 1685 he had taken for tithes, h)..\2..o. 1687, he had taken, i6. .0..0. In 1688, for tithes, i\..^..o. In 1677 there is mention of William Orpwood and Edmond Orpwood servants of Paul Newman.
Appleton (St. Lawrence), the parish in which Paul Newman was living about the year 1680, is bounded on the west by the river Thames, which separates it from Oxfordshire. Near or adjoining are the parishes of Befselsleigh and Cumner, the latter being the place in which resided Edmund Orpwood, who removed to Penn- sylvania after having married a daughter of Paul Newman.

She is designated in the marriage record as daughter of Paul Newman of Eaton. Among the early settlers in Oxford Township was the Orp- wood family. Abington Monthly Meeting Book, states, on 12th month 24th, 1695, Edmond Orpwood was appointed to inspect Oxford Meeting house. On 9th month 28th, 1709 a certificate of removal was granted to John Orpwood to visit Great Britain. By Deed of December 19th, 1720, Edmond Orpwood of Oxford Town- ship yeoman and Joan his wife for natural love and affection and the sum of £200 conveyed to John Knowles of the City of Philadel- phia, nephew of the said Joan four tracts of land in Oxford town- ship containing in all 547^/2 acres. These had been purchased at different times from Robert Ewer in 1694, Richard Busby in 1698, and Evan Powel of Oxford, weaver in 1705. Edmund Orpwood died in 1728. Thomas Chalkley in his journal, mentions being at the funeral in Oxford on nth month 19th, 1728, and that Edmund was in his 85th year of his age. Edmund Orpwood's will is at the Register of Wills Office at Philadelphia; copy will be found in Book, E, page 98. It is dated 14th of 3rd month, 1728, and proved January 25th, 1728-9.

PASCHAL L.
Henry Paschall, son of John Paschall and Frances (Hodge) his wife, was born 8th month 28th, 1746, in Blockley Township, Philadelphia County, near Darby; died 1835 in Kingsessing (will proved May 23rd, 1835, at Philadelphia). He married, first, at Darby Meeting, 5th month 24th, 1770, Ann Garrett, Jr. She is thus styled in the record of the marriage in Darby Meeting books, but she was usually known as Ann P. Garrett, and was born at Darby, 9th month 24th, 1752; died in Kingsessing 12th month nth, 1820, being a daughter of Nathan Garrett and Ann (Knowles), his wife, of Darby.

Henry Paschall, shortly after his first marriage, removed to Wil- mington, Delaware; but subsequently he resided within the limits of Darby Meeting. An old stone house now used as the parsonage of Old Swedes Church, St. James of Kingsessing, situate on the Darby Road, or Woodland Avenue, opposite the church, was occupied by him during the latter part of his life.
Although known as " Doctor Paschall," he was not a graduate of any medical college, but a self-educated man. He had quite a practice among families residing in Kingsessing (Paschallville) and Darby, and did a great deal of good, in a medical way, among the poor.

John Paschall married 2nd month 25th, 1728, at Philadelphia Friends' Meeting House, Frances Hodge, born 4th month 15th, 1710; died in Philadelphia, ist month 8th, 1781. She was a daugh- ter of Henry Hodge, merchant of Philadelphia, by his first wife Frances Knight.
John Paschall was of a literary turn of mind. In 1742 the Library Company of Philadelphia was chartered. John Penn, Thomas Penn and Richard Penn, Esquires, true and absolute pro- prietaries. A set of resolutions stating the object of the company are embodied in the charter. Among other names as charter mem- bers occur the following, B. Franklin, Robert Grace, Anthony Nicholas, Rees Lloyd and John Paschall. John Paschall was known as a doctor, and although he was never regularly educated for the profession he acquired considerable medical and chemical knowl- edge, which made him conspicuous in his day. He practised medi- cine in Delaware County, residing at the time in Darby. Near the house in which he lived, on part of the same property, there was a well strongly impregnated with iron, in the water of which he used to immerse his patients. He made a compound called " The Golden Elixer " which was also widely advertised and known as " Paschall's Golden Drops." This was taken for stomach trouble, and was successfully used in a case of lockjaw, after the patient had been given up by the regular practitioners.

Thomas Paschall, Jr., was born in or near Bristol; but the exact date of his birth has not been ascertained. It must have occurred about the year 1665. He removed to Pennsylvania with his parents, who were Thomas Paschall and Joanna (Sloper), in 1682, and died in Philadelphia, 2nd month (April) 14th, 1743.
Thomas Paschall, Jr., married twice. His first wife was Mar- garet Jenkins, to whom he was married at Haverford Meeting House, 9th month 15th, 1692. She was a daughter of William Jenkins by Elizabeth, daughter of Lewis Griffith and was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, supposedly in the town of Tenby, 3rd month 23rd, 1674; died nth month 17th, 1728 (Darby Friends' Meeting Records). He married, secondly, loth month 27th, 1729, at Abing- ton Meeting, Abigail Fowler Golding, widow ; but by her he had no issue.
In certain documents, Thomas Paschall, Jr., is styled "maltster," and his name appears on a list of names of those admitted as free- men of the City of Philadelphia, between April 22nd and May 27th, 1717. (Scharflf and Westcott, "History of Philadelphia," Vol. i, page 194.)
In 1693 he was one of the Assessors for the district " Beyond Schoolkill," and helped to prepare the " First Tax List for Phila- delphia County" under Act of the General Assembly, passed 15th of May, 1693. {Pennslyvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., Vol. viii, pp. 85-102). He appears to have been a member of the Society of Friends, although not taking an active part in the proceedings of its meetings. His will was proved i6th April, 1743, at Philadelphia, and is recorded in Book G, page 38. Here follows extracts from it :
Dated 2nd September, 1741. He is designated Thomas Paschall of Block- ley township, Philadelphia County, yeoman. He leaves small legacies, to

He names as Executors, his sons Joseph, John and Stephen. He does not sign his name to the will but makes his mark. The witnesses were Aaron Hibberd, Thomas Hall and Joseph Lees. Letters were granted to Stephen Paschall, Joseph Paschall being dead.
The total value of the estate as appraised by Samuel Sellers and Lewis Thomas, and shown in the inventory, was ^378. .1. .0. In- cluded was the plantation and messuage, valued at £350. This farm was situate on Cobb's Creek near to the site of the present Angora Station on the West Chester and Media Railroad.
In " The Book of John Howell," 2 vols., by Miss Frances Howell of Woodbury, 1897, there is a copy of the paper admitting Thomas Paschall, Jr., to the Freedom of the City of Philadelphia, which is as follows:

According to an old family Bible, Thomas Paschall was born 8th month or (Old Style) October 3rd, 1634. This entry was made, doubtless, after some of the family became Quakers. It would seem from this that Thomas Paschall was baptised when he was nearly three months old. He died in Philadelphia, 7th month 14th, 1718.
He married, in England, Joanna Sloper, who was born about the same year as her husband, and who died in Philadelphia. The name of her father, who died in 1641, is unknown; but her mother was Joan Burrus. Joanna Sloper, according to a letter of her son, Thomas Paschall, to his cousin, a daughter of one William Sloper, Paymaster-General to the Queen's Foreign Forces, and living in London, dated 2nd October, 1718, was "nearly related" to "Squire Hook son of Humphrey Hook." (Letter in possession of His- torical Society, Pennsylvania.)
Thomas Paschall was an early purchaser of land in Pennsylvania. In Vol. i, p. 39, Pennsylvania Archives, there is an account of sales in England by William Penn of land in the new colony. Letters from Penn to Philip Ford under date of 22nd day of the 3rd month, 1682, and to Thomas Holme, Surveyor General of the Province, contain the list of purchasers and the authority to survey their land. Thomas Paschall's name is on list 15 for 500 acres. Thomas Paschall with his wife and family must have arrived in the Province, either about the time of Penn's first visit or just before, as a letter written by Thomas Paskel to J. J. Chippenham in England, dated February loth, 1683, "^w style (Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., Vol. i, page 323, etc.) would seem to indicate.
According to Holme's map of the Province of Pennsylvania

(1681) which gives the names of original purchasers from WilUam Penn, and the location of their land, Thomas Paschall's plantation was situate near to the site of the present Mount Moriah Cemetery, and extending north towards Angora station. It is possible that Thomas Paschall also owned land near the river Schuylkill. He writes, February loth, 1683 (1683-4), "I have rented a house for my family during this winter and I have built a little house on my lands for my domestics. I live on the banks of the river Schuylkill." This would seem to convey the idea that the house he rented was on the banks of the river, and that the land which he owned was not. General Lewis Merrill, now deceased, a descendant of Thomas Paschall, made the statement that the latter came from a place called Blockley, and gave the name to that portion of Philadelphia, west of the river, known as Blockley Township. This is a mistake. Thomas Paschall did not come from Blockley; but the Warner family did. This parish is situate in a detached portion of Worcestershire. The Warners were in Pennsylvania before the arrival of William Penn, and acquired a large plantation lying along the west bank of the river Schuylkill to which they gave the name of Blockley. In the Notes and Queries column of the Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., Vol. vii, p. 106, is the following:
Returns of Inhabitants and Lands owned and improved in portions of Philadelphia County in 1684. The following notes are contained in a MSS volume belonging to the American Philosophical Society. The returns were probably made in consequence of an order of Nicholas More, Thomas Holme and Thomas Fairman, Justices of the Peace, dated 14th, 2nd month, 1683 (O. S.) to be executed betwixt this and three weeks inclusive — . . . (Among other names, occur these,) . . . Thomas Paschall, years old (ould) 46, ye quantity of land 500, whereof is cleared Acors 04.

Thomas Paschall, like many of the other early settlers, was interested either directly or as attorney for others, in the purchase and sale of land. One of these transactions is as follows. From the Minutes of the Board of Property, Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. xix, page 440, Minute Book "G" (Second Series).

He was also much interested in public affairs and held several offices. He was elected a member of the Assembly from Philadel- phia County, 3rd month nth, 1685, again on 3rd month loth, 1689, and in 1717. (See Votes of the Assembly.) Member of the Com- mon Council of Philadelphia in 1701, and December 15th, 1704, being chosen under the charter of October 25th, 1701. (See Vol. ix, Second Series, Pennsylvania Archives, page 730.) In 1705 he acted as one of a committee to divide the city into wards. He was useful in public affairs, and during the latter part of his life lived in the city proper, near the corner of Second and Walnut Streets where he kept a pewterer's shop. Like his father, he was a manu- facturer of, as well as a dealer in, pewter and brass plates and utensils.

PAUL
PAUL.
Joseph Paul was bom circa 1650-3 ; but the exact time and place have not been ascertained. He died in Oxford Township, Phila- delphia County, 4th month, 1717, being then a member of Abington Monthly Meeting. On 2nd May, 1680, he married Margaret Roberts, formerly of Taunton. She is believed to have been the mother of all his children, and came with him to Pennsylvania, where she died there, after 1717.
Joseph Paul, like most of the early settlers in Pennsylvania, was a sufferer on account of his religious belief. In Besse's " Suffer- ings," are these references to the Paul family:
Vol. I, Somersetshire, " from a Meeting at Crewkherne, September 22nd 1670, Thomas Paull." From a Meeting at Ilminister, September 7th, 1662, Susan Paul, and September 31st, 1662, Thomas Paul. To the Gaol at Ilches- ter, May 29th, 1682, Joseph Paul of Ilminister and Philip Paul of Stock- linch.
It appears from the above, that just prior to his removal to Penn- sylvania, Joseph Paul was living in Ilminister, Somersetshire. The parish (Ilminister, St. Mary) is in the hundred of Abdick and Bul- stone, and about 13 miles southwest by west from Ilchester, and one mile from the river He.
Sometime between the autumn of 1685 and early spring of 1686, Joseph Paul arrived in Pennsylvania. There is a conveyance to him of land which is recorded, at the Recorder of Deeds Office, Phila- delphia in Book C, 2, Vol. iii, pages i, 2 and 3, of which the follow- ing is a brief extract.
The loth day of the 7th month in the year by the account now in use in England, 1685, between Edward Blinman of the parish of Shepton Mallet in the county of Somerset, clothier of the one part and Joseph Paul of Ilminster in the county aforesaid, sergemaker of the other part &c., for 250 acres in Pennsylvania being one quarter of the said 1000 acres &c.
This conveyance is referred to in several places in Vol. xix, of the Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series. Most if not all of these entries, which are in the " Minutes of the Board of Property," are

It appears from other entries in these various Minute Books that Joseph Paul was purchasing land and adding to his holding at differ- ent times. In 1703 he bought of Richard Busby 100 acres of land in Dublin Township. He was undoubtedly a large land-holder, and although his trade in his native country was that of a sergemaker,

he abandoned it upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, and became a farmer. He styles himself " yeoman " in his will. He was a man of influence in his neighborhood, and, in 1687, was elected a member of Assembly from Oxford Township, serving that year. His home farm was not far from where the present Trinity Church, Oxford, is situate, off of the Bristol Turnpike, north of Frankford. In 1693 he was assessed and taxed as follows, iioo, paid 8 shillings and four pence.
A transcript of the marriage certificate of Joseph Paul and Mar- garet Roberts, is recorded in the original Book of the Quarterly Meeting of Devonshire Monthly Meeting of the East Division of Devonshire, Collumpton Meeting, and is as follows :

PEARSON.
PEARSON.
Thomas Pearson was born in England, 2nd month 12th, 1708. This date is from the marriage certificate of Benjamin Pearson and Susanna Burbeck, in the possession of Jacob Serrill of Darby, Penn- sylvania. He was a son of Benjamin Pearson and Susanna Bur- beck, his wife, and came with his parents to Pennsylvania about the year 1712. They removed from Rotherham, or near by, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It appears that he and his family settled within the limits of Darby Monthly Meeting, but after a time, when Thomas had grown up, he is recorded as being within the limits of Chester Monthly Meeting. On 3rd month 3rd, 1732, according to the Minute Book of Darby Monthly Meeting, he brought a certifi- cate of removal from Chester Monthly Meeting. This was just prior to his marriage. He died in Darby ist month 13th, 1763, aged 55 years, as recorded in the Darby Monthly Meeting Books.
When fourteen years old he was apprenticed to Joshua Copeland of Chester, a shoemaker. The following is a transcript of the articles of indenture, the original in 1894 was in the possession of Jacob Serrill of Darby.

On the opposite side, or outside, page of the original, some one has written the words " Thomas Pearson is a genteellman." It is an interesting document, and shows the mode then adopted to bind a young man to learn a trade.
On 6th month 30th, 1732, at Darby Meeting House, Thomas Pear- son married Hannah, Daughter of John Blunston, Jr. She was bom in Darby, 4th month 7th, 1712, and died there 8th month, 1778. The various entries to be found in the Minute Book of Darby Monthly Meeting, relative to Thomas Pearson, on account of his marriage and some of the committees he was appointed on after that event are as follows. 5th month 19th, 1732, Thomas Pearson and Hannah Blunston both belonging to this meeting declared their intentions of marriage with each other the first time. Benjamin CliflFe and Samuel Bunting are appointed to enquire into the clear- ness of Thomas Pearson and make a report to our next meeting.
6th month 2nd, 1732, Thomas Pearson and Hannah Blunston de- clared their intentions of marriage with each other a second time and things being found clear they are left to their liberty and con- summate their marriage according to the good order used amongst

The certificate is recorded in Book A., page 73, Darby Monthly Meeting,
8th month 2nd, 1745, The Overseers having brought a complaint against Joseph Bethell for not complying with his former promises to pay Thomas Pearson his just demands, therefore this meeting appoints ... to admonish him to satisfie the said Pearson or be at our next monthly meeting to show his reason.
9th month 6th, 1745, The friends appointed to admonish Joseph Bethell to satisfie Thomas Pearson report that they have spoke to him, that he promised to be at this meeting, but he not appearing Samuel Bunting and Nathan Gibson are appointed to draw up a Testification against him for neglecting to satisfie the said Thomas Pearson and other disorderly practices and produce at our next Monthly Meeting for approbation.
3rd month 1st, 175 1, Thomas Pearson appointed Overseer.
3rd month 4th, 1752, Thomas Pearson and William Parker ap- pointed to receive the legacy of thirty pounds left by Job Harvey towards making a brick wall about the graveyard.
7th month 1st, 1752, Thomas Pearson is appointed to take care that strangers are not buried within the bounds appointed to bury those belonging to the meeting.
While it will thus be seen that Thomas Pearson took sincere interest in the religious society of which he was a consistent member, yet he did not neglect the other duties that go to make a useful citizen.
His name will be found signed to several petitions respecting roads. Two of these petitions as found in Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. i (First Series), pages 767 and 768.

Susanna Burbeck, was born loth month 31st, 1680 (from Chester- field Monthly Meeting Records, Derbyshire, England, from Digest at Devonshire House, Bishopsgate-without, London, E.C.), and died, according to record on the marriage certificate, as referred to, about June (or 4th month. Old style) 27th, 1745, in Darby, Pennsylvania. She was a daughter of Thomas Burbeck and his wife Elizabeth, of Tupton, or Tapton, which is a township in the parish of Chesterfield, one and a half miles northeast by east from that place. There is a township named Tupton in the parish of North Wingfield, which is about four or four and one half miles south-southeast from Chesterfield. Although these places are in diflferent parishes, they are both in the Union of Chesterfield.
The witnesses to a Friends' marriage sign in the order of near- ness of relationship to the bride and groom. The following are some of the names signed to the certificate of Benjamin Pearson and Susanna Burbeck, with the relationship explained:
Lawrence Pearson, father of Benjamin Pearson. Peter Burbeck, brother of Susanna Burbeck, her father being dead. Joseph Frith ; what his exact relation was to either the bride or groom is not positively known, but it was a near one, perhaps uncle to the bride.
PEARSON. 247
A Joseph Frith, who must have been a man of some standing, had taken from him, according to Bessie's "Sufferings," Vol. i, p. I44, in September, 1685, sheep horses, etc., to the value of 120 pounds. In 1657, the name of John Frith of Chesterfield, occurs as a sufferer on account of his religious belief; again several times in the years to 1668, when he and his wife are excommunicated. His name occurs also in
1688. John Beard; he was a brother-in-law, to Susanna Burbeck, having married
Elizabeth, her sister, in 1695. Richard Clayton and Josiah Clayton, perhaps only friends, although Josiah
Clayton, in 1710, married Dinah Burbeck niece of Susann's.
A few of the women signers, were as follows :
Patience Pearson; supposed to be the mother of Benjamin.
Alice Frith; perhaps wife of Joseph Frith.
Dinah Burbeck ; she was t"he wife of Thomas Burbeck who was a brother of
Susanna. Margaret Pearson ; perhaps a sister to Benjamin. Katherine Storrs; if not a relation, a friend of the families.
About the year 1714, Benjamin Pearson, his wife Susanna, and their sons, Benjamin, Jr., Joseph, Thomas, John and Isaac, removed to Darby, Pennsylvania. Benjamin Pearson never acquired posses- sion of land in the Province, for the reason, that he never became reconciled to his new location. He was a very sedate man, with strong ideas of the superiority of English things over those of America, and it appears that he was a better educated man than the average early settler. The only product of the new colony he would acknowledge was as good as that raised in England, was turnips. Both he and his wife continued in membership with the Society of Friends to the time of their deaths. He is believed to have held no official position.

Benjamin, born ist month 30th, 1705.
Joseph, born 6th month 8th, 1706; died 8th month 30th, 1738; married

Lawrence Pearson. The exact date and place of his birth are unknown. He was probably born about 1655. In or about the year 1692, he was living in Tinsley or Tinsley Balby, which is a chapelry in the parish and Union of Rotherham, West Riding of York. It is two and three quarter miles southwest by west from Rotherham. His wife's name was Patience (surname unknown). Lawrence Pearson died, it is supposed, prior to the time of the removal to Pennsylvania of his son Benjamin Pearson, which was about the year 1714. That Lawrence Pearson was in Tinsley in 1692 is proven from the following deed, the original being in the possession of Jacob Serrill of Darby :

PENNELL.
P E N N E L L.
Robert Pennell was born in the parish of Balderton, Notting- hamshire, England, and baptized 25th October, 1640, being son of Robert Pennell and Isabel, his wife. He died in Middletown Town- ship, now Delaware County, in 1728. Middletown was then Chester County. The date of his will was May 22d, 1727 ; proved February 25th, 1728-9. A description of the parish of Balderton, an extract of which is here given, may be found in " Lewis' Topographical Dictionary."
"Balderton (St. Giles), a parish in the union of Newark, Southern Division of the wapentake of Newark and of the county of Nottingham, 2 miles (S.E.) from Newark. . . . The living is a vicarage annexed to that of Farndon. The church is a very handsome edifice, principally in the later style of English architecture, with a lofty spire; it has a richly ornamented Norman porch of exceeding beauty and in good preservation. &c. ..."
This parish is located close to the borders of Lincolnshire and is on the road to Newark, Recent investigations made in the Balder- ton parish registers, show that Robert Pennell was married twice. In 1665 he married Elizabeth Hyandson, who died about the year 1670-1. He married secondly, Hannah (surname unknown), and had issue by both wives. About the year 1673 he became interested in the views as set forth by George Fox, and became a member of the Society of Friends as did his wife Hannah. She was born in the year 1640; died 12th month 4th, 171 1, in Pennsylvania, at the age of 71 years. In the year 1684, on the third day of the fifth month, he obtained a certificate of removal from " Friends at Ful- beck." The monthly meeting was held at Fulbeck which is in Lin- colnshire a few miles east of Balderton. Between that year and 1686, with his wife and family, he removed to Pennsylvania, his certificate of removal also including the names of Thomas Garrett, Hugh Rodnell, Henry Pennell, and Richard Parker, their wives and children. On arriving in Chester County, he became an active mem- ber of Middletown Meeting. Appointed constable for Middle- town, 1687.
In 1691 he purchased 250 acres of land in Edgmont township, and

Samuel Sellers, Jr., was born 3rd month 12th, 1690, in Darby Township, now Delaware County but at that time Chester County. He was a son of Samuel Sellers and Ann Gibbons of Darby, and died in the same township, 6th month 3rd, 1773, aged 83 years and II days. The apparent discrepancy in time being the difference between Old Style and New Style of reckoning. On 8th month 12th, 1712, at Friends' Meeting House in Darby, he married Sarah Smith. She was born 3rd month 30th, 1689, in Darby Township, and died there 5th month 24th, 1778. She was a daughter of John Smith and Eleanor Dolby, of the same place.
Samuel Sellers does not seem to have held any public office, apparently living quietly, taking care of his business and raising his family. The farm he owned was located in Upper Darby Township, near to where the present " Millbourne Mills " are situate, his father owning a large tract of land in the same neighborhood, on which the family originally settled.

Samuel Sellers was born, or baptized, in the year 1655 ^^ Duf- field, (Duffield, St. Alkmund) a parish in the union of Belper, hundred of Appletree, Southern Division of the county of Derby. It is four and a quarter miles north from Derby, and about three miles south of Belper in the south center of Derbyshire, England. ("Year of baptism, obtained from Horace W. Sellers, Esq." H.W.L.)
Samuel Sellers died 9th month 22nd, 1732, in Upper Darby Town- ship, then in Chester, now Delaware, County. He was a son of Thomas Sellers and his wife Elizabeth.
The exact date of the convincement of Samuel Sellers, and of his becoming a member of the Religious Society of Friends, is not known. In 1682 he was living in Belper, from which place he came to Pennsylvania and settled in Darby Township. For the first year or so he lived in a cave. This was on a farm he rented until about the year 1690, when a tract of 100 acres was patented to him. In 1 69 1 he purchased 75^ acres from Charles Lee. This land was situate near where the West Chester road crosses Cobb's Creek, at the west end of Market St. and the Philadelphia City Line. The place has long been known as " Sellers Hall."
He was a strict member of the Religious Society of Friends.
In 1684 Samuel Sellers married. The minutes of Darby Meeting show that Samuel Sellers and Ann Gibbons declared their intentions of marriage with each other a second time, 6th month 6th, 1684. They were doubtless married soon after. The book containing the record of certificates of marriage is not known to be in existence; perhaps the marriage certificate of Samuel Sellers and Ann Gibbons may be in existence, and in the keeping of some one of their descendants.
Ann Gibbons was born in Derbyshire, England, and died nth month 19th, 1742/3, in Darby. She was a daughter of Henry Gibbons and his wife Helen, of Darby, Pennsylvania.
The only instance of Samuel Sellers holding a pubHc office will be found in the Court Records of Chester County.

SMITH.
John Smith was baptized in 1645, and was born in October of that year, in Leicestershire, England. He died in Darby, Pennsyl- vania, I2th month nth, 1714, aged 69 years and 4 months. The following account of him is copied from " A Collection of Memorials concerning Divers deceased Ministers and others of the People called Quakers, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Parts adjacent, from nearly the first Settlement thereof to the Year 1787." Phila- delphia, MDCCLXXXVII, pp. 42 and 43, etc.
A TESTIMONY FROM DERBY MONTHLY MEETING IN PENNSYLVANIA, CONCERNING JOHN SMITH.
He was born in Licestershire, in Old England, in 1645, and was convinced of the truth at the age of fourteen years, and being faithful thereto, after some time he came forth in the ministry. He was an early settler in Penn- sylvania, where he was well beloved. Being taking sick, he was visited by many friends ; and about two days before his departure, being asked how he did, he answered, " I am very poorly and weak indeed, but much easier than I have been, for I was extreme ill, so sick and full of pain, such as I never had undergone before; so that I could not retire in my mind to God, my extremity was so great; but now the Lord has been pleased to give me ease, so that I can stay my mind on him, for which I am truly thankful : And now I feel the fresh remembrance or renewings of the love of God flowing into my heart, which is of much more comfort to my soul than all transitory things that are here below. Now I feel his living divine presence is with me, which bears up my spirit over that which flesh and blood would or could not be able to bear."
Shortly after, a friend taking leave of him, asked him if he thought he should recover, "That (said he) I am not worthy to know, however I am content; and this I know, that if we abide faithful to God to the end, we shall receive a godly portion so farewell, and the Lord go along with thee." At another time he said, "He was full of pain, yet he could sing of the mercy and goodness of God to his soul in the midst of affliction." After- wards adding, "Do not mourn for me, but be still and quiet, and let me pass away quietly, that so my soul may enter into God's everlasting rest; for my conscience is clear from guilt in the face of all men." Saying, " Come Lord Jesus, receive my soul, thy servant is ready, come quickly." This he spoke in great freshness and cheerfulness of spirit saying, " Now I think I am near my end;" but reviving again, he sat up, and his children being

present, he said to them, " I was never covetous to get a great deal of this world's riches, but I have endeavoured to bring you up in the fear of the Lord, and educate you in the way of his truth to the best of my under- standing; and if you do but wait upon the Lord in the sincerity of your hearts, for the dropping down of the love of God upon your souls in the meetings and gatherings of the Lord's people, he will shed his blessings amongst you; for he hath been and is a father to the fatherless, and as a husband to the widow." This he spoke just before his departure, being fresh in spirit, and perfect in sense and memory to the last hour. He died the nth day of the twelfth month 1714, aged sixty nine years and four months.
He married at Harby, in Leicestershire, 3rd month 4th, 1679, Eleanor Dolby.
Here is a copy of the marriage certificate, from the original book deposited at Somerset House, London :
Monthly Meeting at Leicester.
This may certifie to whom it may concern that John Smyth of Croxton in the county of Leicester hath taken Eleanor Dolby of Harby in the same county to be his wife. And the said Eleanor hath taken the said John to be her husband. At a publick Assembly of the people of God at Harby, upon the fourth day of the third month, 1679. In the presence of,
William Garrett Richard Parker Elizabeth Dubbleday
William Draper William Tomson Martha Hoult

John Dubbleday Thomas Sanderson Ann Garrett
Eleanor Dolby was born at Harby, in Leicestershire, in 1653, and died in Darby, Pennsylvania, 7th month loth, 1708, aged 55 years. The same book of Memorials thus refers to her:
" She was born at Harborough, (This is meant for Harby, see note in reference to Harby and Harborough at the end of this account of John and Eleanor Smith) in Leicestershire, Old England her maiden name was Eleanor Dolby. She received the truth about the age of thirteen years, and lived and died therein, being a religious exemplary woman, and some years before her death was concerned in a public testimony. A little before her departure desiring that her husband and children should come and sit down by her, she spoke as follows, * I entreat you my children to walk soberly, plainly and keep to the truth, and the Lord will provide for you every way beyond your expectation. I am clear of you having done the part of a tender mother to you : I leave and commit you to the Lord, who

is able to keep you to the end of your days,' She desired them not to mourn if it should please God to remove her from amongst them saying, ' It will be my great gain.' Often repeating her full assurance of future happiness, adding, 'I can praise thy name O Lord in the midst of affliction, for surely thou art worthy of all praise, honour and glory, and that forever more; for thou neither leavest nor forsakest those that put their trust in thee.' Then said, ' Dear children be content, for I shall die in favour with God, and true love and unity with his people.' She desired to be dissolved, saying, *I can freely give up husband and children and all this world, to be with the Lord, whose presence I feel flowing as a river into my soul.' She died the loth day of the seventh month, 1708, aged fifty- five years. In the time of her last illness, she wrote the following epistle to the monthly-meeting of women friends at Derby, viz, ' Dear Sisters,
Herewith I send you the last salutation of my love, with whom I have been many times refreshed and truly comforted. I say I have travelled with you through various exercises and difficulties, when the Lord has been sometimes pleased to give us (as it were) the bread of adversity to eat, and the water of affliction to drink; yet blessed be his name, he has sweetened our cups many times as with honey, and sustained us as with the oil of the cruse; and by his sweet presence caused our cups to overflow, to the praise of his great name.
Wherefore, dear sisters, I entreat you to dwell in the love of God, which love is the bond of peace.
Let charity be found to dwell amongst you, and then I do believe, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful, but your branches laden with good and weighty fruit, which will find acceptance with God. So no more, but my tender love to you in the blessed truth. I take my leave and bid you fare- well in the Lord The last from your loving sister,
Eleanor Smith.'"
John Smith and his wife removed to Pennsylvania, about the year 1684, and settled in Darby Township on a farm near what is now known as the Springfield Road, about half way between Darby Borough and the Providence Road. In the tax list for 1693, he is assessed in the township of Darby.
The will of John Smith is at West Chester, Pennsylvania, and is dated 12th month loth, 1714/5; proved 9th month 8th, 1715. Book A, 22.
In the account of Eleanor Dolby as given in the book of Memo- rials, referred to, it states that she was born in Harborough. This is a mistake for Harby. Market Harborough is a town of considerable size in the southern part of Leicestershire. Harby (St. Mary) is a

parish in the hundred of Framland, in the Northern Division of the county of Leicester, about eight and three quarter miles from Melton-Movvbray. A little to the southwest is Hose, and it was here that some of William Garrett's children were born; but he after- wards resided at Harby. He it was whose name is signed first to the marriage certificate of John Smith and Eleanor Dolby. About three miles to the southeast is Croxton-Keyrial (St. John) ; it is a parish also in the hundred of Framland, and is seven miles southwest from Grantham in Lincolnshire. This was John Smith's native place. In 171 1, a William Smith bequeathed land producing £11, per annum, for which twelve poor children are taught. This man, no doubt, was of the same family as that of John Smith. Sarah Smith, a sister of John, married at Darby, loth month 19th, 1688, John Marshall, and two brothers, Thomas Smith, from Croxton, who died in 1705-6, his wife Sarah dying in 1716 (will at Philadelphia, proved March 2nd, 1705-6 Book C, p. 21), and William Smith, whose first wife was named Elizabeth (she died loth month 27th, 1702), and his second wife Elizabeth Prichett, widow ; his will is at West Chester, proved February 20th, 1727-8, Book A, 265.

Jepsto is intended for Chepstow, a town in the extreme south- eastern part of Monmouthshire. It is situated on the river Wye near its confluence with the Severn. In 1692, a few months after his arrival in the colony, he married Martha Awbrey, to whom he was engaged prior to sailing, which is what is intended to be meant in the certificate of removal. Here follows a brief extract from their marriage certificate as found on record in the book of Haver- ford Monthly Meeting.

A few months after his marriage Rees Thomas purchased 300 acres of land in Merion Township, in the Welsh tract. The deed was dated 6th month 15th, 1692, and the land was bought from Sarah Eckley, widow of John. Some years after he added an ad- joining tract, bought of Edward Prichard. This whole farm was situate in the corner made by the three townships, Radnor, Merion and Haverford, near to the present village of Rosemont and part of it was some years since comprised in the Warner estate. At the time of his death, as will be seen by his will, he held some 650 acres in Merion, 400 acres in Whitpain Township (now Montgomery County), with lots in the City of Philadelphia and City Liberties.

He makes his wife Ann, executrix, and mentions brother-in-law, David Davies, sister-in-law Katherine Davies, children of his sister; children of his brother. " Katherine Davies my sister-in-law and her grand-child Katherine Orme." " My cozen Rees Potter." Other names mentioned are Ellis Ellis, Humphrey Ellis, David Lawrence, Katherine Morgan, Ellis Pugh, Evan Harry, Hugh Harry, Daniel Harry, and Owen Morgan. He appoints as Trustees, David Lawrence, Rees Petter, David Evan, and John Humphrey. " To William Thomas eldest son of my brother John Thomas if he will come." This was a legacy of certain lands, on condition that this William Thomas, son of John, should come over from his native land and settle on them.
William Thomas, the nephew, did come, with his wife Margaret, and their children, and about the same time David Thomas, a brother, also removed to Pennsylvania. It will be noted that on the marriage certificate of Rees Thomas and Martha Awbrey, the first of the men witnesses were William Thomas and David Thomas. At the marriage of Richard Orme and Mary Tyddyr (or Tudor), at the house of John Bevan, in Radnor, 2nd month 3rd, 1686, among the witnesses were David Davis and William Thomas. At the marriage of John Thomas, son of William Thomas, of Radnor, and Mary Orme, daughter of Richard, on 12th month 8th, 1715, the witnesses in the first column to the right sign in the following order : William Thomas, Richard Orme, Mary Orme, Margaret Thomas, David Thomas, Rees Thomas, Martha Thomas, John Worth, Anne Thomas, Rees Thomas, Jr.
At the marriage of Ann Thomas, daughter of William Thomas of Radnor, with Evan Roberts son of Robert Ellis, late of Radnor, on nth month 9th, 1716, the witnesses were (first column to the right) :
THOMAS. 301
William Thomas, Margaret Thomas, Ellis Roberts, Aron Roberts, Jane Roberts. In the next column, to the left: Thomas Thomas, John Thomas, William Thomas, David Thomas, Thamar Thomas, (formerly Miles and wife of Thomas Thomas eldest son of William Thomas), Rees Thomas, and Martha Thomas.
At the marriage of Ellis Roberts of Gwynedd, and Eliza Thomas, daughter of David Thomas of Radnor, at Radnor on ist month 30th, 17 1 5, the witnesses were David Thomas, John Roberts, Thomas Thomas, William Roberts, William Thomas, and Rees Thomas. All this evidence shows a close connection between Wil- liam Thomas of Radnor, son of John Thomas, David Thomas, and Rees Thomas. David Thomas of Radnor, afterwards of Gwynedd, whose daughter Eliza, or Elizabeth, married Ellis Roberts, left a will which is on file at Philadelphia, Register of Wills office. Book F, page 38, year 1737. He styles himself as of Gwynedd, yoeman, and is ancient and weak. Names children: Elizabeth Roberts, Martha Jones, Rachel Davis, and David Thomas; the latter, his son, ap- pointed Executor. Will signed 29th of 4th month, 1732; proved June nth, 1737. He appoints Trustees as follows:
"I do nominate and appoint My Well Beloved Cousins (Welsh cousins or nephews) viz., Thomas Thomas of Radnor in Chester County, and Rees Thomas and William Thomas both of Merlon in Philadelphia County to be Trustees of this my will." Witnesses : Rees Thomas, Elizabeth Thomas, and Samuel Harry.
It will thus be seen that David Thomas appoints as trustees Thomas Thomas of Radnor, who was the eldest son and heir of William Thomas, Rees Thomas, and William Thomas, of Merion, both sons of Rees Thomas and Martha Awbrey. This would make William Thomas son of John Thomas, David Thomas, and Rees Thomas, brothers. Therefore, all sons of John Thomas of Wales who did not come to Pennsylvania, but whose brother William Thomas with his wife Ann (formerly Davis), did, and who willed his land, as already mentioned, to William Thomas, eldest son of his brother John Thomas.
Here are a few items which seem to refer to William Thomas the elder, of Radnor, planter, before his removal to Pennsylvania.
From Montgomeryshire Collections, Powys-land Club, Vol. xxvi, pp. 51, 65 and 67, " Account of Non-conformity." Anno 1683. " Reputed Quaker, Wil-

Ham Thomas and his wife of the parish of Machynlleth." Also " of Yscarreg." (Isygarreg is a township in the parish of Machynlleth). Again in Vol., xxvi, page 51, Nonconformity, Hundred of Machynlleth, nth of April, 1681, Quakers: Katherin David and Mary Tudor of Darowen.
From the Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., Vol. viii, page 332, " List of Arrivals in Pennsylvania." David Davis and Katherine his sister and Mary Tidey (Tyder) {sic) her daughter, Manhinleth, in Montgomeryshire', on the " Vine " of Liverpool, William Preeson, Master, 17th day of the 7th month, 1684. The certificate of Mary Tuddur, of removal to Pennsylvania, is entered in Radnor Meeting Book. It was issued by Dolgelley Meeting, on 5th month 3rd, 1684.
Darowen and Machynlleth, as well as Penegoes, are places close to each other in the Western part of Montgomeryshire, near to the borders of Merionethshire.
It seems pretty certain that Ann Davis wife of William Thomas, her brother David Davis, and her sister Katherine (widow of a man named Tudor) were natives of one or the other of the above parishes. That the Thomas Family were natives of the same locality is not, from the evidence, to be considered so certain.

The following pedigree of the Till family of Whitgreave is from notes left by Mr. Lloyd, and after a careful examination of the records cited, is believed to be absolutely correct. The latter part of it, however, disagrees with a MS. pedigree of this family in Mr. Lloyd's collection signed Albert Cook Meyers, and dated i6 April, 1900; but Mr. Lloyd points out that it is impossible that the latter can be right. For instance, Mr. Meyers correctly gives the date of birth of Samuel, first son of John Till (died 1710) as i month 7, 1676; but in stating that this child died 2 month 29, 1676; he is mistaken. Friends Records at Devonshire House give Samuel the " father " at Whitgreave son of John, buried 2 month 29, 1676. It is evident, therefore, that this Samuel was not the son of the John Till who died 1710, but his father. The burial of the first Samuel, born 1676, is not given. Sarah, daughter of John Till (sister of Samuel), was buried 9 month 11, 1693. Again Mr. Meyers gives John Till " of Burson," buried 2d month 26th, 1697, as a son of the John who died 1710, and brother of Rosamond; but, from his will proved the day after his burial, it is certain that this was John Till "the younger" (so called in will) of Whitgreave, and the entry of his burial also records him as "John Till the younger son of John." He was, therefore, the brother of the Samuel buried 1676, and uncle to the John Till who died 1710. It appears from the Till wills at Lichfield, and other data, that John Till " the elder " of Whitgreave, the father of John Till "the younger" (died 1697) and Samuel Till "the father" (died 1676), lived to be a very old man, surviving at least two of his sons. When he was well advanced in years he settled all of his lands upon his eldest son and heir, John, and to his heirs in tail male. From the evidence at hand it appears that he also turned over to his heirs his personal estate, reserving, probably, as was customary in such settlements, which were very common at that time, lodgings, food, drink, clothing, and a certain annual money payment. This John Till the elder was born about or before 1610, so that he was 97 years old or more at the time of his son's death in 21 305

1697. The fact that he held the Till farms in and about Whitgreave, makes it possible to trace him for several generations. He was the son of another John Till of Whitgreave who died 1672, also very advanced in years, and was descended from Hugh Till, who died 1552-3. — Editor.

WILLIAMS.
Thomas Williams, born 4th month 26th, 1763, in Philadelphia, on 4th Street near Greenleaf Alky (believed to be the same as Merchants Street), west side. He died 2nd month 24th, 1846, on the east side of loth Street below Race (old number 103) (Philadel- phia City Directory for 1844). He was a son of Samuel Williams and Ann (Thomas).
Thomas Williams married twice, first, 5th month 9th, 1787, at Pine Street Meeting, Philadelphia, Isabella, daughter of Peter Howard. She was born nth month 27th, 1763; died 7th month 4th, 1796. He married, secondly, 2nd month 26th, 1799, at North Meeting Philadelphia, Hannah Tompkins, who was born 1772 ; died 8th month 23rd 1849, on her 77th birthday. She was a daughter of Jacob Tompkins and Elizabeth (Thomas) of Horsham and Philad- delphia. The Abington Monthly Meeting marriages, at Horsham, give, i6th of nth month, 1759, Jacob Tompkins, of Moreland, and Elizabeth Thomas of the same place.
The original marriage certificate of Thomas Williams and Isabella Howard is in the possession of Reed A. Williams, Jr., Greene Street west of Chelten Avenue, Germantown. It is on parchment, and is about 15 and a half inches wide by 24 inches long. The follow- ing is a transcript:
Whereas Thomas Williams of the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania son of Samuel Williams of said City and Ann his wife, and Isabella Howard daughter of Peter Howard of Philadelphia aforesaid and Elizabeth his wife deceased ; having declared their intentions of marriage with each other before several Monthly Meetings of the people called Quakers held in Philadelphia for the Southern District according to the good Order used among them, and having consent of parents their said proposals were allowed of by the said Meeting: Now these are to certify whom it may concern that for the full accomplishing their said intentions this ninth day of the fifth month in the year of. our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven.

On the outside of the certificate is the following, " Marriage Certificate of Thomas Williams and Isabella Howard."
Thomas Williams was a member of the Society of Friends, and was a strict attender of meetings. For quite a while he was an Over- seer. Before the separation of the Society into so-called Orthodox and Hicksite branches, he went to North Meeting; afterwards he sided with the latter, or Hicksite branch, and went to the Meeting established at Fifth and Cherry Streets, on the land now occupied by Horstmann's Factory. He also took an interest in the develop- ment of his native city, and was elected a member of the Common Council. One of the committees of this body which he served on
SH LLOYD MANUSCRIPTS.
was that of the Water Supply, or as it was then called, the " Water- ing Committee." One of the notices received by him to attend a meeting of this committee is now in the possession of the writer, reading as follows:
Philadelphia, 3d April, 1827 Sir
The Watering Committee will meet at Fair Mount, on the 4th day of April at J^ past 3 o'clock, P. M.
Sam. W. Rush, Register. To Thomas Williams Esq.
This was a few years after the establishment of the Waterworks at Fairmount, and the " Watering Committee " was a very important one.
Thomas Williams was a large, stout, fine-looking man. During the latter part of his life he did not place much dependence in modern improvements. He was opposed to the introduction of illuminating gas, fearing that it would explode. When some of the family were anxious for him to have a daguerreotype taken, it was only after much persuasion that he agreed to have it done. Unfor- tunately, he was placed so that the light fell directly in his eyes, thus producing the imperfect and only picture of him extant.
The will of Thomas Williams, being a long and interesting docu- ment, is given here in full. The original No. 45 of the year 1846, is recorded in Book 18, Page 239, &c., Register of Wills Office Phila- delphia.
Be it remembered that I Thomas Williams, of the City of Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania, gentleman, being of sound disposing mind and memory do make and ordain my last will and testament in manner following, that is to say: Imprimis, I direct all my just debts and funeral expenses to be fully paid and satisfied as soon as conveniently may be after my decease.
Item, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Hannah Williams all my household goods and furniture of every sort and description. I also give and bequeath to her my said wife the sum of two Thousand Dollars in Cash, the whole whereof to be for her own use and at her entire and absolute disposal forever.
Item, I give and devise unto her my said dear wife Hannah Williams, the messuage and lot of ground whereon I now reside, situate, No, 103 on the East side of Tenth street between Cherry and Sassafras streets in the said City. To hold the same with the appurtenances unto her my said wife, for and during all the term of her natural life but no longer.

I further give and bequeath unto her my said dear wife Hannah Williams an annuity or yearly sum of One thousand five Hundred Dollars to be paid to her in monthly payments of One hundred and twenty five dollars each for and during all the term of her natural life, the first payment thereof to be made to her in one month after my decease, and for the better secur- ing the payment of the said annuity, I do hereby make the same a lien and chargeable upon the whole of my real estate, in consideration of the above bequests, she my said wife shall immediately upon my decease release and relinquish to my children all claim or right of Dower whatever in my said estate.

And for want or in default of such nomination, direction and appointment then in trust after the decease of her my said daughter Hannah to and for the only proper use and behoof of all and every the child and children which she may leave and the lawful issue of any of them who may then be deceased having left such issue their several and respective executors, administrators and assigns in equal shares forever, such issue of any deceased child or children of her my said daughter taking however and only receiving such part or share as his, her or their deceased parent or parents would have had and taken, had he, she or they been then living, and in case of the death of her my said daughter Hannah without having made any last will and testament as afore- said and without leaving any child or children or the issue of any deceased child or children her surviving, then to and for the only preoper use and behoof of the right heir or heirs (under the then existing laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) of her my said daughter Hannah, his, her or their executors, administrators and assigns forever, if more than one person in equal shares. And the remaining four full equal seventh parts or shares of said rest and residue of my personal estate, I give and bequeath unto my four sons Howard Williams, Samuel Williams, Thomas R.

Sterling. And further in my will before referred to I have directed my executors to pay my wife the sum of Two thousand Dollars, Now my will is that in case of my surviving my said wife that Five hundred dollars of said Two thousand Dollars be paid to Jacon T.

Samuel Williams was the fifth child, and the fourth son, of Thomas WilHams and Mary (Reed) his wife. He was born nth month 23rd, 1729, in the parish of St. Austell, County of Cornwall, England, and died in the City of Philadelphia, 2nd month, 29th, 1808. When only four years old, in 1733, he came with his parents, and his brothers, to their future home in Philadelphia. They arrived on the 19th of November. This fact is recorded in an old family Bible in possession of Charles E. Slane, of the firm of Charles E. Slane and Brother of Cincinnati, Ohio. The tradition is that when on their way to the ship that was to carry them to Pennsylvania, they passed through the city of Bristol, and they probably sailed from that port. Samuel was carried in a pannier hung across the back of a mule, and his attention was called to the buildings in Bristol. This made an impression on his mind, although so young, and in after years he related the fact to his son Thomas.
Samuel Williams married Ann Thomas. This event is recorded in Philadelphia IMonthly ]\Ieeting Marriages. An abstract of the entry reads as follows : " Samuel Williams of Philadelphia, son of Thomas deceased, and Ann Thomas of the same place daughter of Rees of Lower Merion, deceased, at Philadelphia Meeting, 6th month 24th, 1762." Ann Thomas was born in Merion, 7th month 12th, 1735 and died in Philadelphia 6th month 7th, 1809. She was a daughter of Rees Thomas of Merion, by his wife Elizabeth Jones. Samuel Williams lived on the west side of Fourth Street, between ^Market and Chestnut Streets. The house was at the southwest corner of Fourth and Merchants Streets. The space now covered by " The Bourse," and was numbers 16 and 18 South Fourth Street, being the southwest corner and the property next below, the whole front occupied by the two houses being about thirty feet of the present front of " The Bourse." He at one time lived on Walnut Street between 8th and 9th Streets, and George Street, the present Sansom Street.

In his will he styles himself Samnal Williams of the City of Philadelphia. He mentions his wife Ann Williams; she to have the free use of the income from all his estate during her life-time, after her death to be divided into six parts.
One Sixth, to go to his son Thomas Williams,

He mentions certain unimproved lots on the south side of Walnut Street between 5th and 6th Streets. Also on the north side of Walnut Street, between 8th and 9th Streets; also on George Street (this is the present Sansome Street. The Walnut Street lots extended through to the back street).
The will is dated 9th month, 1806, and was proved March 21st, 1808, by Joseph Randall and Daniel Hughes. Recorded in Philadel- phia Register of Wills Office, Book 2, p. 259.

It is interesting to note the family connections as shown by the order of the signatures.
Mary Williams was undoubtedly a sister of Thomas Williams. Thomas Freeman was a brother-in-law to Mary Reed, the bride. He had married Katherine Reed. Here is the extract of the entry as found in Friends' Marriages Cornish, at Devonshire House, Bishops- gate Without, London. "Thomas Freeman, late of Glastonbury County Somerset, and Katherine Reed of Liscard, County Cornwall nth month nth, 1712."
Samuel Hopwood married Ann Freeman, believed to have been a sister to Thomas Freeman who married as above mentioned. Here is the entry. " Samuel Hopwood of Yorkshire and Ann Freeman of Austel, Co., Cornv/all, at Tregangeeves, 8th month ist, 1706."
Samuel Hopwood, Jr., and Matilda Hopwood were children of Samuel and Ann Hopwood, perhaps twelve to fourteen years old. Joanna Goodeare, or Goodyer, was without doubt a near connection, but how does not appear. Her maiden name was Treffrey, and she had married Ephraim Goodeare, who signs but not as relative on 8th month 5th 1710 at Tregangeeves." He was of the parish of Mevagissey, and she was of Austell (St. Austell) at the time of this marriage.
Mary Reed was baptized on the 27th of March, 1694, at Men- heniot near Liskeard, county Cornwall, and died in Philadelphia, September loth, 1767. These dates are taken from an old family Bible in the possession of Charles E. Slane, of Cincinnati, Ohio, a descendant of Thomas Williams and Mary Reed. Mary Reed was
a daughter of John Reed and Melior of Menhenett, county
Cornwall.
This parish, the church dedicated to St. Neot, is in the union of Liskeard, Middle Division of the hundred of East, in the Eastern Division of Cornwall, two and one half miles east-southeast of Liskeard.

The borough of Liskeard is on the road from St. Austell through Lostwithiel to Callington, in fact this road is the main thorough- fare between Devonshire and Penzance. Melior as a given name to a woman is one peculiar to Cornwall and Cornish families.

of the said will to the executors therein named viz : to John William who
made oath well & truly to administer and to Thomas Williams Who being
a Quaker made a solemn & sincere affirmation to the like according to the
truth in that behalf.
Several important things appear from this will and inventory. Andrew Williams and his wife were both people of standing in the community in which they had lived, both being buried within the Church. Andrew was a man of considerable property. The total of the inventory £212: 15: 06, being equal at the present time to several thousand dollars. He held by lease two mills and tenements in Cover besides freehold lands.^ From information kindly fur- nished by Rev. W. lago, Westheath, Bodmin, Cornwall, in a letter dated December 18, 1897, it is learned that the name Cover means a stream. He writes,
* Any land included in an inventory of that date was leased land, which is personal property. Freehold and Copyhold land, which in England descends to the eldest son and heir, was never included in an inventory until a recent Act of Parliament. — Editor.

"In old Cornish the word 'Cover' signifies 'stream' or 'rivulet' So it is quue proper a name for the locality of a mill or mills." Cornish and Welsh were ,dent.cal bemg dialects of the Celtic language and so we find cTr' Welsh for stream ' or ' rivulet.' ..." vjoier,
As to the location of the mills and Cover Valley, a letter from the Rev. Joseph Hammond, Vicar of St. Austell, and a book recently wntten by h,m, entitled "A History of a Cornish Parish," gives an account o St. Austell, seem to fix the spot. Canon Hammond in his letter of the 25th of April, 1898, writes :

It would thus appear that some of the tenements and the mills which Andrew WilHams owned were located on what is now the Trevarrick Estate, and that they were situate part way between St. Austell and St. Mewan, .-. e., the two churches. This would account for the children of Andrew Williams and his wife Eliza- beth bemg baptised sometimes at one church and again at the other.

ANCESTRY OF ANDREW WILLIAMS.
A critical review of Mr. Lloyd's notes in re the Williams family, arfd a partial examination of the numerous records in the Record Office relating to the neighbourhood in which the family resided, has brought to light in- formation, which, if in some particulars is not absolutely conclusive, is nevertheless, of considerable value in the absence of other evidence, in de- termining the ancestry of Andrew Williams. Concerning the latter much is known. He appears to have been born during the Commonwealth period, which accounts for the fact that no record of his baptism exists. All parish registers are very defective for this period, and many have no entries what- ever. St. Austell and the adjoining parishes are no exception to th's rule. The entries for St. Austell, especially, are missing for 1^49, 1652, 1653 and 1654, and for the remaining years to 1660 are imperfect. If Andrew Williams was born, say, in 1654, he would have been 76 years old at the time of his death. We must, therefore, look elsewhere than in parish registers for proof of Andrew's parentage. Wills and administrations ( the most impor- tant missing) afford us no information.
Towards the close of the seventeenth century there were two families named Williams, doubtless kin to each other, living in St. Austell. The first of these was that of Hugh Williams, a son of Richard Williams of Trewithian (by Margaret Russell, his wife) descended from the Williams family of Trevervo, which originally came from Dorsetshire. Hugh Williams removed to St. Austell, where most of his children were born, and where many of his descendants continued to live. He died, however, in the ad- jacent parish of St. Blazey, and his will is dated 29 March, and was proved 6 Nov., 1703 (P. C. C. Degg 218). The issue of Hugh Williams, born be- tween 1678 and 1687, are all known and accounted for.
The other family of Williams of St. Austell was seated in that parish, and the adjoining one of St. Mewan, before the year 1592. From this family Andrew Williams undoubtedly descended.
WILLIAMS. 337
Turning to Andrew Williams's will, dated 5 March, 1730/1, proved 15th o£ the same month, we find that he devised the Cover Mills to his sons, John and Thomas. This was leasehold property in St. Mewan parish, held, doubt- less, on long lease. He also devises a tenement called Cover, seemingly free- hold, to his daughters. That he held other freehold or copyhold property in St. Austell Parish, where he resided at the time of his marriage and until about 1700, which descended, in the absence of specific testamentary disposal, according to English law, to his eldest son and heir, John Williams, seems certain, and it appears that Andrew Williams succeeded to this property upon the death of Thomas WiUiams of St. Austell, in 1687/8. The Subsidy or Tax Rolls for St. Austell show that Thomas Williams held this property as early as 12 Charles II., and he succeeds another Thomas Williams, who died 1641/2. As to the Thomas Williams first above named, who, beyond doubt was father of Andrew, he was buried at St. Austell 9 Feb., 1687/8. He ap- pears to have left a will, which is missing, but an inventory of his estate, dated 24 Feb., 1687/8, remains in the Probate Registry at Bodmin. He was born, probably, about the year 1627. His father, Thomas Williams, died about Feb., 1641/2. The only remaining document relating to his estate is the inventory, taken 4 Feb., 1641/2, and filed 28 Feb. of the same year. As the Act Books for Bodmin are missing we are left in doubt as to whether he died intestate or left a will. He married, at St. Austell, 1626, Melior Scollier. We have no Subsidy Rolls at this period to guide us, but there is little doubt that Thomas was the son of John Williams of St. Austell, who died 1608-9, an inventory of whose estate was filed 16 Jan., 1608/9, at Bodmin. This John Williams, the date of whose birth must have been about 1660-70, married, 23 Oct., 1597, at St. Austell, Jane Scollier (or Scollar) a kinswoman of the Melior Scollier who married, as above noted, in 1626, Thomas Williams. John Williams appears to have had a brother Edward, who died in St. Austell in 1604.
It seems probable that Edward and John Williams were the sons of Sampson Williams of St. Mewan, whose will was proved at Bodmin 9 Jan., 1586/7, but which is now missing.
Mr. Lloyd states his belief that all of the Williams families of St. Austell, St. ^lewan, St. Bazey, and neighbouring parishes were cadets of the Trevervo famil}-, a statement which is supported by local tradition. The probable date of the birth of Sampson Williams corresponds to that of John, father of Baltizer Williams of Trevervo, whose brother he may have been ; but the Williams pedigree (Visitations of Cornwall, by Lieut.-Col. Vivian) does not give the junior issue of William Williams of Trevervo. This William
Williams married a daughter of Jennings of Clemense. in Cornwall. He
was the son of John Williams of Hernington in Dorsetshire, who, having married the heiress of Trevervo, removed to that place. Further research, in the Manor Rolls, if they exist, the Rolls of the Feet of Fine, and other records in the Public Record Office relating to this part of Cornwall would probably confirm absolutely the above outlined tentative pedigree.

Since the above was written a further investigation has been made regard- fng the parentage and ancestry of Andrew Williams of St. Austell. The evidences cited above have been re-examined, and additional searches have been made, with the following results.
It is certain that Andrew Williams succeeded Thomas Williams of St. Austell, who was buried 9 Feb., 1687-8, in the ownership of certain real property in the latter parish. This fixes Andrew's parentage. It is likewise certain that the grandfather of Andrew was Thomas Williams, of St. Austell, who died 1641-2, and who married, 1626, Melior ScoUier (as above noted) This last Thomas was, it seems clear, a son of John Williams, of St. Austell, who married, 23rd Oct., 1597, Jane Scollar, and died 1608-9. Owing to the very imperfect records it is not possible to prove by conclusive evidence the parentage of this John Williams; but from the devolution of property and other circumstances, it is practically certain that he was the son of Sampson Williams of the adjoining parish of St. Mewan, whose will was proved at Bodmin, 9th Jan., 1586-7. There can be no reasonable doubt that this Williams family was an offshoot of Williams of Trevervo, and there is considerable circumstantial evidence on this point to justify the family tradi- tion to that effect; but information so far gathered relating to that period in the history of the neighbourhood of St. Austell and Trevervo, does not warrant a more definite opinion on the connection than already expressed.
The Williams family of Trevervo was originally from Dorsetshire, and of Welsh origin. The earlier portion of the pedigree is involved in some ob- scurity, and there are conflicting accounts. Their arms, however, indicate descent from the tribe of lorwerth Sais, of Lanynys, who was fifth in descent from Cowryd ap Cadran, Lord of Ceinmarch. A number of families sur- named Williams sprang from this stock, both by direct male descent, as in the case of Williams of Ysgeibion Elis, and through intermarriage, as in- stanced by Williams of Llanfordaf, of which family Sir William Williams, of Llanfordaf, Bart., who died 1740, married Jane Wynn, of the Gwydir line, and was father of Sir Watkyn William Wynn. It should be understood, however, that the surname of Williams, which is very general in Wales, does not, in most cases, imply any relationship. — Editor.

WOOD.
George Wood was born about 1625, the exact date and place not having been ascertained. He was a man of some means, for he was a purchaser of 1000 acres of land. (Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. i, PP- 39> 40> 45> " Sales in England, by William Penn, of Land in Pennsylvania." The date is, 22nd day of the 3rd month, 1682, name, George Wood. . 1,000.)
George Wood and his wife Hannah or, as she was sometimes called, Anna, and their children, removed to the Province in the year 1682. Their certificate of removal is dated 5th month 27th, 1682, and was from Matlock, Monyash and Ashford Monthly Meet- ing; but whether Hannah was his first and only wife, the records examined do not state. They came from a hamlet called Bonsall.
The parishes of Matlock and Bonsall are near the village of Win- ster. Bonsall is a parish in the hundred of Wirksworth, Southern Division of the county of Derby, The inhabitants were formerly mostly employed in limestone quarries and the mining of lead in the neighbouring hills. Matlock (St. Giles) is a parish in the union of Bakewell, hundred of Wirksworth. It is celebrated for its medicinal springs, and in the account given of it in 1842, it states " the lead mines were formerly worked to a great extent." It was at Monyash (a chapelry, in the parish and union of Bakewell, hundred of High Peak, Northern Division of the county of Derby) that the meeting- house of the Society of Friends, was located. These places are all near the Peak of Derbyshire. Hannah Wood died in Darby, 1687, and was buried on ist month 9th, 1687. As has already been stated George Wood was a purchaser of land in the Province of Pennsyl- vania.

Among a list of land-owners, or land-holders, in 1689, in the county of Chester, George Wood's name appears for 655 acres. Ashmead's " History of Delaware County," has this to say about this tract of land, page 532.
..." At a point a trifle west of Lansdowne Station, a line drawn to the New Jerusalem Church, and thence due west to the old Marker Paper-Mills, on Darby Creek, and then following the creek to the bend above the Lower Darby line, and thence due east to the post a short distance west of Lans- downe Station, was a large tract containing six hundred and fifty-five acres, surveyed to George Wood November 6th, 1682. This tract subsequently was divided among his descendants, and two hundred acres of the lower part w-ere conveyed to Richard Bonsall March i, 1697-8. On the land acquired by Bonsall, Kellyville is located."
It appears that George Wood was a member of Assembly for one term. His name will be found among the Chester County represen- tatives for the year 1683, with John Hoskins, Robert Wade, John Blunston, Dennis Rochford, Thomas Bracey, John Bezar, John Harding, and Joseph Phipps. George Wood died 2nd month 27th, 1705, in Darby. His will, of which a brief extract is here given, is at the Register of Wills office at Philadelphia, and is recorded in Book C, page 317.

Mr. Lloyd's MSS. include a large number of notes connected with his re- searches in re the parentage and ancestry of Dr. Thomas Wynne; but at the time of his death no conclusion had been reached. A tentative pedigree, typewritten, found among his papers, is marked as incorrect, and there is a note to the effect that further search had been abandoned, because of the difficulty in identifying the many persons named Thomas Wynne, who were contempory with the Pennsylvania settler. The search was subsequently undertaken for Richard Y. Cook, Esq., of Philadelphia, and the results, which were published under the title of " Ancestry of Dr. Thomas Wynne,'" Dr. Thomas Wynne was born at Bron Vadog, near Caerwys, and baptized at Bodfari, 20 July, 1627, being the second son of Thomas ap John Wynne, of Bron Vadog.
A tradition long existed among Dr. Wynne's descendants that he was nearly related to the famous family of Wynn of Gwydir. The relationship, which was through intermarriage, is shown on a chart under Williams, a portion of which was compiled from material found among the Lloyd MSS. indicate that further research by Mr. Lloyd would have produced the same results. — Editor.
