PREFACE. 


EVERY  author  has,  or  ought  to  have, 
a  reason  for  his  undertaking ;  and  I  conclude 
some  will  wonder  what  induced  me  to  write 
the  history  of  an  individual  family,  which  is 
not  likely  to  contain  any  thing  very  interest- 
ing to  the  public. 

For  their  information  I  may  say,  that  it 
arose  from  a  desire  in  some  of  the  family, 
to  have  a  record  preserved,  as  perfect  as  it 
can  be  obtained  (at  this  late  period)  of 
the  emigration  to,  and  settlement  of  their 
Ancestors,  in  this,  then  wilderness  country; 
and  also  of  the  situation  and  connection  of 
their  descendants  at  the  present  time ;  and  not 
through  a  desire  of  exalting  themselves,  by 
publishing  to  the  world,  their  imperfect  and 
uninteresting  history;  which  is  intended  to 
be  kept  pretty  much  within  the  family,  or 
those  concerned.  In  writing  such  a  history, 
considerable  difficulty  presents,  for  want  of 
records  being  kept  of  occurrences  as  they 


took  place  ;  therefore  the  author  hopes  to  be 
excused  for  the  omissions  and  errors  which 
may  occur ;  as  the  former  is  unavoidable,  for 
want  of  information;  and  the  latter  must  be 
expected,  considering  his  resources  for  ob- 
taining materials ;  which,  in  many  instan- 
ces, depended  on  the  memory  of  individ- 
uals ;  and  that,  in  some  cases,  will,  no 
doubt,  prove  incorrect ;  but  I  judge,  correct- 
ness in  all  cases  will  not  be  expected,  under 
such  circumstances.  The  history  begins  with 
the  first  emigrants  to  this  country,  by  the  name 
of  Sharpies,  at  least  as  far  as  we  know;  and 
continues  their  genealogy  to  the  present  time; 
keeping  principally  to  the  name  in  question; 
though  the  descendants  out  of  the  name,  are 
as  much  of  the  family,  and  as  nearly  allied, 
as  those  of  the  name  :  yet  to  trace  them  all, 
would  open  too  large  a  field  for  my  present 
plan,  or  for  the  satisfaction  of  my  readers ; 
therefore  I  have  established  a  rule,  to  which  I 
have  adhered  throughout;  and  that  is,  to  pro- 
ceed no  farther  out  of  the  name,  than  second 
Cousins  :  that  is,  if  a  woman  marry,  she 
changes  her  name  ;  if  she  have  children  mar- 


vi 


ried,  I  mention  their  marriage,  and  name  then- 
children,  and  then  leave  them. 

Of  the  first  family  who  came  to  this  country, 
only  three  brothers  lived  to  marry,  therefore 
I  have  divided  their  history  into  three  parts, 
beginning  with  the  eldest,  and  tracing  his 
descendants  to  the  present  time ;  then  the 
second  and  third  in  order. 

I  have  met  with  a  Deed,  containing  the 
grant  of  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  to 
William  Penn,  by  King  Charles  II.  also  the 
grant  of  one  thousand  acres  thereof,  by  Wil- 
liam Penn,  to  John  Sharpies,  the  first  settler 
of  that  name ;  an  exact  copy  of  which  I  pro- 
pose inserting,  as  an  introduction  to  the  his- 
tory, with  William  Penn's  name  engraved 
from  his  own  hand  writing. 

It  appears  by  the  Deed,  that  the  name  was 
originally  spelled  with  single  s,  at  the  last, 
which  makes  it  pronounce  Shar-ples,  as  Ap- 
ples :  but  as  it  is  universally  pronounced 
Sharp-less,  it  is  frequently  spelled  so,  and  I 
think  properly  so ;  though  as  it  is  necessary 
to  preserve  a  uniform  method  of  spelling 
A2 


vn 


throughout  the  history,  I  thought  proper  to 
attend  to  the  original. 

I  expect  some  will  conclude,  that  in  re- 
presenting so  large  a  family,  many  interes- 
ting anecdotes,  &c.  would  be  introduced  : 
but  as  it  is  not  my  plan,  neither  would  it  be 
generally  satisfactory,  that  I  should  give  a 
history  of  the  lives  of  individuals  ;  and  as 
but  few  circumstances  have  presented,  which 
I  thought  worthy  of  insertion,  little  more 
must  be  expected,  than  what  may  be  termed 
a  Family  Record,  stating  some  circumstan- 
ces respecting  the  first  settlement  of  the 
family  in  this  country,  and  shewing  the  situ- 
ation and  connection  of  their  children,  and 
their  children's  children,  unto  the  fourth  and 
fifth  generation.  My  original  plan  was  to  in- 
sert the  trades  and  occupations  of  individuals ; 
believing  it  would  be  satisfactory  to  many, 
to  know  what  business  their  connections 
follow;  but  as  people  frequently  change  their 
occupations,  for  that  and  other  reasons,  I 
concluded  to  omit  that  part.  As  to  dates,  we 
must  be  content  with  having  the  years  in 
which  marriages,  deaths,  &c.  took  place;  and 
that,  in  many  cases,  cannot  be  ascertained.

PREFACE  TO  THE  PRESENT  EDITION. 


This  work  was  naturally  inspired  by  the  former  edition,  and  its 
compilation  was  suggested  to  the  writer  at  various  times  within  the 
past  twenty-five  years  ;  but  the  movement  inaugurated  by  J.  Clemson 
Sharpless,  and  earnestly  espoused  by  others,  for  a  bi-centennial  family 
gathering  in  1882,  was  the  culminating  cause  of  its  inception.  As  a  part 
of  the  history  of  the  book,  the  following  minutes  are  offered : 

At  a  meeting  of  the  subscribers  for  the  publication  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Sharpless 
Bi-Centennial  and  Family  Record,  held  at  the  office  of  Samuel  L.  Smedley,  City  Hall,  Phila- 
delphia, December  10th,  1882,  at  3  P.  M. 

Present,  J.  Clemson  Sharpless,  William  Sharpless,  Samuel  L.  Smedley,  Philip  P. 
Sharpies,  Sylvester  Garrett,  William  C.  Sharpless,  Samuel  J.  Sharpless,  John  Sharpless, 
William  Bancroft,  John  S.  Garrigues,  Henry  Palmer,  Elton  B.  Gifford,  Casper  T.  Sharpless. 
Of  twenty-five  subscribers  thirteen  were  present.  Ezekiel  Hunn,  Jr.,  and  Gilbert  Cope,  were 
also  present  by  invitation. 

Philip  P.  Sharpies  was  unanimously  chosen  to  preside,  and  on  motion  of  J.  Clemson 
Sharpless,  Samuel  L.  Smedley  was  appointed  Secretary. 

Samuel  L.  Smedley  stated  that  the  committee  appointed  at  the  Bi-Centennial  had  met  at 
West  Chester  in  the  nth  month,  and  carefully  considered  the  object  of  their  appointment, 
and  were  unanimously  of  the  opinion  that  a  circular  should  be  issued  to  obtain  twenty-five 
subscribers  at  $100  each,  to  assume  the  responsibility  of  the  publication  of  a  Family  Record, 
and  that  the  requisite  number  having  been  obtained  on  the  6th  instant,  J.  C.  Sharpless  had 
issued  the  call  for  this  meeting. 

The  paper  was  then  read  with  the  signatures  thereto,  as  follows  : 

Sharpless  Bi-Centennial  Record,   1682-1882. 

The  Publication  Committee  appointed  by  resolution  passed  at  the  Sharpless  Bi-Centen- 
nial Meeting,  held  the  24th  day  of  August,  1882,  for  the  purpose  of  preparing  and  publishing 
a  memorial  of  the  event,  and  an  extension  of  the  family  genealogy,  have  carefully  considered 
the  subject,  and  have  reached  the  following  conclusions  : 

1st.  That  the  interest  manifested  is  so  great  as  to  give  the  assurance  that  the  publication 
of  such  a  work  is  not  only  warranted,  but  very  generally  desired  and  demanded  at  the  present 
time. 

2d.  That  the  Genealogical  Record  should  be  prepared  with  great  care,  and  be  made 
so  complete  as  to  be  a  credit  to  the  family  and  all  concerned. 

3d.  That  in  order  to  accomplish  this  considerable  labor  and  expense  will  have  to  be 
incurred  before  the  work  reaches  completion. 

4th.  That  the  publication  should  be  made  by  representative  men  of  the  family,  and  not 
by  any  individual  assuming  responsibility  or  issuing  it  for  profit ;  the  aim  being  to  furnish  the 
work  as  complete  in  material  and  execution  as  the  price  will  warrant. 

ix 


5th.  It  is  believed  that  the  whole  expense  can  be  met  by  the  disposal  of  five  hundred 
copies  at  $5  per  copy,  amounting  to  $2500,  and  that  not  more  than  half  that  amount  will  be 
required  in  preparing  the  work  previous  to  printing  and  distribution. 

6th.  The  most  feasible  plan  proposed  is  for  twenty-five  representative  men  to  divide 
the  responsibility  into  as  many  shares,  equivalent  to  twenty-five  shares  at  $100  each. 

7th.  That  % 25  shall  be  paid  by  each  subscriber  when  the  list  of  subscribers  is  complete, 
making  up  a  fund  of  $625  to  commence  and  carry  on  the  work  :  additional  instalments,  if 
required,  to  be  called  for  when  directed  by  the  subscribers ;  and  no  subscription  to  be  binding 
until  twenty-five  names  are  subscribed. 

8th.  That  when  five  hundred  copies  have  been  disposed  of  the  money  advanced  to  be 
refunded  to  the  subscribers  in  full,  or  books,  in  lieu  of  money,  may  be  taken  at  the  subscribers' 
option  ;  and  if  distribution  is  made  before  five  hundred  copies  are  sold,  the  cash  and  books  on 
hand  to  be  distributed  pro  rata. 

9th.  The  subscribers  to  appoint  a  Treasurer,  and  take  such  measures  as  they  shall  deter- 
mine as  best  adapted  to  carry  the  above  into  effect  as  speedily  as  possible. 

10th.  The  undersigned  are  subscribers  to  the  amount  of  $  100  each,  for  the  purposes 
and  conditions  above  specified. 

Signed  by  J.  ClemsQn  Sharpless,  William  Sharpless  and  Philip  P.  Sharpies,  West 
Chester,  Pa.;  Samuel  L.  Smedley,  Casper  S.  Garrett,  Sylvester  Garrett,  William  C.  Sharpless, 
Samuel  J.  Sharpless,  Henry  W.  Sharpless,  Charles  W.  Sharpless,  William  Sellers,  John  Sellers,  Jr., 
Philadelphia,  Pa.;  John  Sharpless,  Henry  Palmer,  Chester,  Pa.;  William  P.  Bancroft,  Edward 
Bringhurst,  Wilmington,  Del.;  Casper  T.  Sharpless,  Camden,  N.  J.;  John  S.  Garrigues,  Bryn 
Mawr,  Pa. ;  Elton  B.  Gifford,  Media,  Pa. ;  J.  Kersey  Sharpless,  A.  H.  and  C.  C.  Sharpless, 
Catawissa,  Pa. 

(Four  others  who  had  signed  afterward  withdrew.) 

J.  Clemson  Sharpless  moved  that  an  Executive  Committee  of  five  be  appointed,  who 
shall  have  full  control  and  management  of  the  preparation  and  publication  of  the  Sharpless 
Family  Record  and  proceedings  of  the  Bi-Centennial  held  at  Chester  on  the  24th  of  August, 
1882,  which  was  unanimously  agreed  to,  and  J.  Clemson  Sharpless,  John  Sharpless,  William 
C.  Sharpless,  Samuel  L.  Smedley  and  Henry  Palmer,  were  appointed  the  committee. 

A  motion  that  the  President  of  the  meeting,  Philip  P.  Sharpies,  should  be  ex-officio  a 
member  of  the  committee,  was  also  agreed  to.  John  Sharpless  moved  that  William  C.  Sharpless 
be  elected  Treasurer,  which  was  also  agreed  to  unanimously,  and  he  accordingly  appointed. 

Elton  B.  Gifford  moved  that  the  Executive  Committee  call  for  the  payment  to  the 
Treasurer  of  the  first  instalment  of  $25,  and  that  notice  of  his  appointment  be  sent  to  the 
subscribers,  which  was  approved. 

Samuel  L.  Smedley  remarked  that  in  a  work  like  the  present  a  great  mass  of  information 
could  be  collected  with  comparative  ease,  while  in  completing  full  details  a  small  amount  of 
obscure  matter  demanded  time  and  labor  in  much  greater  proportion,  and  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee would  have  to  determine  what  amount  of  this  latter  they  would  be  warranted  in  entering 
into,  but  this  could  be  determined  as  the  work  progressed.  Experience  shows  that  a  large 
amount  of  correspondence  and  investigation  must  be  made,  requiring  the  persevering  attention 
of  those  in  charge ;  members  of  the  family  by  early  and  determined  effort  could  aid  much, 
but  it  had  been  expected  to  call  in  the  professional  assistance  of  Gilbert  Cope,  who  by  years  of 
research  had  collected  such  complete  data  as  could  nowhere  else  be  found  in  the  State,  who 
could  forward  the  work  more  rapidly  than  any  other  person  who  could  be  selected. 

Gilbert  Cope  was  called  on  to  express  his  views,  and  said  that  he  had  much  work  on 
hand  so  that  he  could  not  give  to  this  his  undivided  attention,  but  was  willing  to  undertake 
the  task,  and  do  the  best  he  could,  because  he  felt  a  deep  interest  in  the  undertaking. 


The  appointment  of  Gilbert  Cope  was  favorably  received,  and  the  matter  was  referred  to 
the  Executive  Committee. 

William  C.  Sharpless  inquired  whether  an  early  effort  should  not  be  made  to  ascertain 
what  response  might  be  given  in  the  way  of  subscriptions  for  copies  of  the  work,  but  it  was 
concluded  that  it  would  be  best  to  direct  the  efforts  to  the  collection  of  the  family  records 
first.  The  subject  was  referred  to  the  Executive  Committee.  On  motion  adjourned  to  meet 
at  the  call  of  the  President  of  the  meeting. 

Executive  Committee  Minutes. 

The  Executive  Committee  met  immediately  after  the  adjournment  of  the  Subscribers' 
meeting. 

Present,  J.  C.  Sharpless,  Philip  P.  Sharpies,  W.  C.  Sharpless,  Henry  Palmer,  Samuel 
L.  Smedley. 

J.  Clemson  Sharpless  was  appointed  Chairman,  and  Samuel  L.  Smedley,  Secretary. 

It  was  agreed  upon  to  engage  Gilbert  Cope,  of  West  Chester,  to  give  all  the  time  he 
possibly  could.     He  being  present  consented  thereto. 

It  was  determined  that  an  abstract  of  the  proceedings  of  the  meeting  be  sent  to  the 
subscribers,  by  the  Treasurer,  giving  notice  to  pay  the  first  instalment,  and  J.  C.  Sharpless  in 
conjunction  with  Gilbert  Cope,  were  requested  to  prepare  the  necessary  blanks  and  circulars 
and  have  them  printed. 

Other  meetings  were  held  from  time  to  time  as  the  work  progressed, 
and  questions  arose  for  determination.  At  one  of  these  it  was  decided  to 
engage  the  services  of  Henry  Fishwick,  an  English  antiquary,  in  making 
researches  into  the  early  history  of  the  family  prior  to  the  emigration  ;  by 
which  means  considerable  interesting-  information  was  obtained.

The  compiler  wishes  to  acknowledge  the  kindness  of  many  persons 
who  have  assisted  in  the  work  beyond  their  own  immediate  records,  and 
his  intercourse  with  whom,  either  in  person  or  by  correspondence,  has  been 
truly  pleasant.  Among  those,  not  of  the  family,  who  have  assisted  materi- 
ally, he  is  under  special  obligations  to  T.  M.  Potts,  of  Canonsburg,  Pa.,  and 
J.  Mortimer  Dutton,  of  Chester,  Pa.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  some  mem- 
bers of  the  family  have  not  shown  a  proper  interest  in  the  work,  but  have 
manifested  either  indifference  or  objection  to  furnishing  their  records.  In 
this  day  of  genealogical  publications,  it  is  unnecessary  to  offer  any  apology 
for  such  a  work,  yet  its  true  value  will  be  better  appreciated  in  the  future.

EXPLANATIONS. 


The  arrangement  is  by  generations,  and  the  names  of  the  children  in 
one  generation,  if  married,  are  carried  forward  as  parents  in  the  next  gene- 
ration, where  they  may  be  readily  found  by  their  corresponding  numbers. 
For  the  sake  of  economy  in  space,  this  order  is  not  strictly  adhered  to  in 
the  later  generations. 

The  small  figures  attached  to  names,  as  Thomas  5,  indicate  the 
generation  to  which  the  individuals  belong,  counting  the  earliest  immi- 
grant ancestor  as  No.  i. 

The  line  of  ancestry  given  at  the  head  of  the  page  is  not  always  correct 
as  to  all  the  descendants  on  that  page,  yet  will  frequently  be  found  an  assist- 
ance in  tracing  relationships. 

Dates  are  given  in  the  order  of  month,  day,  and  year,  and  for  economy 
in  space,  numbers  are  used  instead  of  names  for  the  months. 

Abbreviations  : — b.  for  born  ;  d.  for  died  ;  m.  for  married  ;  bur.  for

Early  History 


Henry  Fishwick,  F.H.S. 


THE   SHARPLES   FAMILY   OF   LANCASHIRE,    ENGLAND. 


SHARPLES   OF   SHARPLES. 


THE  hamlet  of  Sharpies  (from  which  the  family  derived  its  name), 
though  not  mentioned  in  Domesday  Book,  formed  at  a  very  early 
period  one  of  the  members  of  the  original  barony  of  Manchester, 
in  the  county  of  Lancaster.  One  of  the  earliest,  if  not  the 
earliest,  Baron  of  Manchester,  was  Albert  de  Gredle  or  Greslet,  who  held 
the  baron)-  in  the  latter  decade  of  the  eleventh  century.  He  was  a  favored 
friend  of  Roger  de  Poictou,  who  held  very  large  possessions  in  Lancashire 
at  that  period.  In  the  time  of  Edward  I.  (A.  D.  1272-1307)  Robert  de 
Samelisburie  and  Alexander  de  Harwoode  held  an  oxgang*  of  land  in 
"  Chappies,"  by  payment  of  three  shillings  a  year  to  Robert  de  Gredle, 
Baron  of  Manchester.t 

The  Duchy  Records  do  not  name  Sharpies  as  a  manor  and  there  is  no 
evidence  of  a  court  leet — or  of  frank-pledge — having  been  held  here,  yet 
the  Lord  of  Sharpies,  by  an  ancient  tenure,  claimed  from  the  owner  of  the 
adjacent  manor  of  Smithells  a  pair  of  gilt  spurs  annually  and  also  a  some- 
what singular  right  of  the  free  use  of  the  contents  of  the  cellar  of  Smith- 
ells Hall  for  one  week  in  each  year.!  The  gilt  spurs  were  claimed  and 
paid  until  a  comparatively  recent  date. 

The  hamlet  probably  took  its  name  from  some  natural  peculiarity  of 
formation  or  appearance,  and  this  may  have  originally  been  applied  to  some 
small  field  or  clearing  out  of  the  surrounding  waste.  The  Anglo-Saxon 
"scearp,"  sharp  or  acute,  in  its  diminutive  form,  might  give  "Sharpies." 

*  An  "  oxgang  "  is  as  much  land  as  an  ox  can  plough  in  a  season,  said  to  be  fifteen  acres,  or,  as  others  allege, 
twenty  acres. —  Webster's  English  Dictionary. 
t   Testa  de  Nevill,  folio  404. 
X    Whitaier's  History  of  Whallcy,  ii.  320,  new  edition. 


4  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

In  1427,  the  hamlet,  including  the  lands  therein  called  the  "  Fouldes," 
contained  four  thousand  acres,  exclusive  of  one  thousand  acres  called 
"  Hordern  Solyns."  The  Sharpies  of  to-day  is  a  township  and  district 
parish  separated  from  Bolton-le-Moors  for  ecclesiastical  purposes.  It  has 
a  parish  church  and  school,  Wesleyan  and  Baptist  Chapels,  several  cotton- 
mills  and  bleaching-works,  and  contains  some  four  thousand  inhabitants. 
The  area  of  the  township  is  three  thousand  two  hundred  and  ninety-four 
statute  acres.  The  township  of  Sharpies  lies  about  two  and  one-half  miles 
north  of  Bolton.  The  village  of  Sharpies  (near  to  which  is  the  Hall)  is  on 
the  road  from  Bolton  to  Preston.  In  the  township  of  Sharpies  are  two 
other  small  villages,  Belmont  and  Astley  Bridge.  The  name  of  Sharpies 
is  not  an  uncommon  one.  Only  a  few  of  the  name  are  still  to  be  found  in 
Bolton,  but  the  MancJiester  Directory  furnishes  over  fort)'  families  of 
Sharpies.  They  are  also  found  in  Liverpool  and  other  towns  in  Lan- 
cashire and  Yorkshire.  Sometime  before  the  commencement  of  the  four- 
teenth century,  the  hamlet  had  given  its  name  to  a  family,  as  in  the  year 
1297  Adam  de  Sharpies  appears  as  a  witness  to  a  charter.  In  a  survey,  or 
more  correctly  an  inquisition,  taken  before  the  year  1320,  Adam  de 
Sharpies  held  one  twenty-fourth  part  of  a  knight's  fee  in  Sharpies,  and 
Henry  de  Trafford,  for  land  in  the  same  place,  paid  homage  and  fealty  and  an 
annual  rent  of  three  shillings  and  two  pence.  From  this  Adam  de  Sharpies 
no  doubt  descended  the  Sharpies  of  Sharpies,  the  Sharpies  of  Freckleton, 
and  other  collateral  branches. 

In  1427,  Richard  Sharpies  de  Sharpies,  "juxta  Bolton-les-Mores," 
held  a  house  and  six  other  tenements,  which  were  together  worth  forty-one 
pounds  thirteen  shillings  and  four  pence  a  year,  of  the  chief  lord  in  socage, 
with  suit  of  court  eighteen  pence.  Richard  Holland  held  at  the  same  time 
three  tenements  in  Sharpies,  worth  ten  marks  per  annum.  In  the  same 
year  Robert  Sharpies  held  there  a  messuage  and  a  tenement  worth  forty 
shillings  a  year,  with  court  service  of  ten  pence.* 

It  may  be  assumed  that  Richard  de  Sharpies  was  a  descendant  of 
Adam  de  Sharpies,  and  may  have  been  the  father  or  grandfather  of  the 
John  Sharpies,  of  Sharpies,  with  whom  the  pedigree  recorded  by  Dugdale, 
at  the  Heralds'  Visitation,  begins.f     (See  Pedigree). 

For  some  reason  unexplained,  two  generations  of  the  family  are 
described  as  "  Sharpies  alias  Warde."     Sometime  before    1578,  Janet,  the 

*  Mamecester,  Chetham  Society,  vol.  liii. 

t  An  Edmund  Sharpies,  of  Little  Howarth.  near  Rochdale,  in  Lancashire,  between  1413-22,  being  then 
eighty-four  years  of  age,  gave  evidence  in  a  dispute  between  Theophilus  Howarth  and  Arthur  Butterworth. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FA  MIL  Y.  5 

daughter  of   Richard  Sharpies,   of   Bolton,   married  Thomas  Warde,  but 
this  throws  no  light  on  the  question. 

In  the  Duchy  Court,  on  October  31,  1599,  Hugh  Wooi>  and  Anne,  his 

WIFE,    FORMERLY    WIFE    OF    ALEXANDER    WARD   alias   SHARPLES,  lodged    a    bill 

of  complaint  against  Thomas  Heaton,  the  father-in-law  of  Roger  Sharpies, 
the  substance  of  which  was  as  follows  : 

Hugh  Wood  and  Anne,  his  wife,  complain,  that — 

Whereas,   Alexander  Warde,  otherwise  Sharpies,  of  Sharpies,  county 
Lancaster,  gentleman,  deceased,  was  about  February,  24  Elizabeth  (1581- 
82),  seized  in  fee  of  the  manor  of  Sharpies,  county  Lancaster,  and  of  mes- 
suages, etc.,  in  Sharpies  and  Bolton-in-the-Moors,  in  the  same  county,  of  the 
yearly  value  of  one  hundred  pounds,  and  in  consideration  of  a  marriage 
between    Alexander   Ward,  otherwise  Sharpies,  deceased,  son  and  heir  of 
Richard  Ward,  otherwise  Sharpies,  son  and  heir  of  the  said  Alexander,  the 
grandfather,     Alexander  Ward,    the    grandfather,    and    Anne,    his    wife, 
conveyed  the  moiety  of  the  said  manor,  etc.,  to  the  use  of  himself  for  life, 
remainder  to  said  Anne  for  life.     Alexander  Ward,  the  grandfather,  died 
so  seized  shortly  after,   and  Alexander  Ward,  the  grandson,  and  Anne 
entered  into   the  premises  so  conveyed  to  them.     And  the  said  Richard 
Sharpies  alias  Ward   entered  into   the   other  moiety,  as  son  and  heir  of 
Alexander,   the  grandfather.      Afterwards,    Richard  Sharpies   alias   Ward 
and   Alexander,    the    grandchild,    and    Anne,  his    wife,    exchanged    their 
respective  moities.     Alexander,  the  grandchild,  died  about  four  years  ago. 
Thomas  Heaton,  an  attorney  at  the  common  law,  at  Lancaster,  seeks  to 
procure  to  himself  not  only  the  moiety  conveyed  to  Anne  Sharpless,  worth 
sixty  pounds  a  year,  but  also  the  marriage  of  Roger  Ward  alias  Sharpies, 
being  her  eldest  son,  an  infant  aged  about  eight  years  and  heir  apparent 
to  the  said  Alexander,  her  late  husband,  which  marriage  is  worth  three 
hundred  pounds,  and  Thomas  Heaton,  conspiring  with  Thomas  Anderton, 
his    [Thomas    Heaton's]    father-in-law,    and    Christopher    Anderton,    the 
younger,  his   [Thomas    Heaton's]   brother-in-law,   and   Robert   Heald  and 
John  Buckeley,  his  bailiffs,  to  counterfeit  a  capias,  pretending  himself  to  be 
the   under-sheriff's  deputy,  did  about  4  June,    39   Elizabeth    (1594),    write 
a  warrant  in  the  sheriff's  name  and  directed  it  to  Heald  and  Buckeley, 
who  apprehended  the   said  Anne,  being  a  widow,  and  carried  her  to  the 
house    of  Thomas    Anderton,    where    Heaton,    with    the    bailiffs,   Thomas 
Anderton    and    Christopher    Anderton,    shut    Anne   up   in   a    chamber  of 
Thomas  Anderton's  house,  in   Chorley,  ten  miles  from  where  she  dwelt, 
and  kept  her  prisoner  for  four  days,  and   frightened  her  into  sealing  a

writing,  which  Heaton  says  is  a  bond  of  many  hundred  pounds,  with 
condition  that  Anne  should  suffer  him  to  enjoy  her  jointure  and  to  have 
the  marriage  of  Roger  Sharpies  alias  Ward,  her  son.  Heaton  wrote 
articles  of  agreement  permitting  Anne  to  occupy  a  house  and  four  parcels 
of  ground,  parcel  of  the  premises,  worth  fifty  shillings  a  year  for  her  life, 
for  the  maintenance  of  herself  and  four  small  children,  he  enjoying  the  rest 
of  the  premises,  worth  fifty-six  pounds  a  year,  and  also  the  marriage  of 
Roger,  worth  three  hundred  pounds,  to  whom  she  was  guardian  in  socage. 
Divers  other  writings  besides  the  writing  concerning  the  jointure  have 
come  into  the  possession  of  James  Anderton,  of  Lostock,  Esq.,  who 
delivered  some  of  them  to  Christopher  Anderton,  gentleman,  his  brother. 

By  this  record,  it  appears  that  Hugh  Wood  married  Anne,  widow  of 
Alexander  Sharpies,  the  grandson,  between  1597  and  1599. 

There  was  then  living  at  Sharpies  and  at  Turton,  near  Bolton,  a  junior 
branch  of  the  family,  one  of  which  was  a  husbandman  and  another  humbly 
calls  himself  "a  poor  laboring  man;"  that  they  both  were  descendants  of 
the  owners  of  the  manor  is  proved  beyond  a  doubt  by  the  following  extract 
from  the  Duchy  Record  : 

Bill  of  Complaint  Brought  in  30  October,  159S.*  William  Kennion, 
Claiming  by  Lease  from  William  Orrel  versus  Elizabeth  Sharples, 
widow,  Margaret  Sharples  and  Anne,  her  Daughters. 

William  Kennyon,  of  the  Foules,  county  Lancaster,  a  yeoman. 

Whereas,  William  Orrell,  of  Turton,  county  Lancaster,  Esq.,  is  seized 
in  fee  of  a  messuage  and  lands  in  Turton,  now  or  late  in  the  tenure  of 
Edmund  Sharpies,  of  Turton,  husbandman,  and  Elizabeth  Sharpies,  widow, 
mother  of  the  said  Edmund,  and  by  indenture  leased  the  same  to  William 
Kennyon,  the  suppliant,  and  also  tithes  of  corn,  for  the  lives  of  the  sup- 
pliant and  Elizabeth  Kennyon,  his  wife,  and  of  Elizabeth  Sharpies,  widow, 
and  the  longest  liver  of  them.  But  Elizabeth  Sharpies,  widow,  combining 
with  Margery  Sharpies  and  Anne  Sharpies,  her  daughters,  got  into  their 
hands  the  said  indenture  of  lease  and  expelled  the  suppliant. 

The  Answer  of  Elizabeth  Sharples,  widow,  Margery  Sharples  and 
Anne  Sharples. 

Elizabeth  Sharpies,  widow,  says  that  the  messuage  and  lands  have  been 
in  the  name,  blood  and  kindred  of  the  Sharpies  as  farmers  to  the  same  for 
divers  descents,   and  that  John  Sharpies,  deceased,  her  late  husband,  by

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  - 

himself  and  his  assigns,  occupied  the  tenement  during  his  life  by  virtue  of 
a  lease  made  to  him  by  some  of  the  ancestors  of  William  Orrell,  of  Turton, 
Esq.,  and  John  Sharpies,  being  so  possessed,  did  about  17  Elizabeth 
(  1574-5)  covenant  with  William  Orrell,  that  in  consideration  of  thirty 
pounds  to  be  paid  by  John  Sharpies  to  William  Orrell,  the  said  William 
Orrell  should  at  all  times  during  his  own  life  seal  and  deliver  as  his  deed 
a  lease  of  the  messuage  and  tenement,  to  hold  to  John  Sharpies  and  his 
assigns  during  the  lives  of  the  said  Elizabeth  Sharpies  and  of  Edmund 
Sharpies,  their  son;  and  if  Edmund  die  in  the  lifetime  of  his  father,  then 
John  Sharpies,  another  of  the  sons  of  the  said  John  Sharpies,  the  father,  is 
to  be  put  in  the  lease  ;  and  if  John  Sharpies,  the  son,  die  before  the  making 
of  the  lease,  then  Edward  Sharpies,  another  son,  is  to  be  put  in  the  lease. 
Since  the  agreement  and  since  the  death  of  John  Sharpies,  the  father,  that 
is  to  say  in  or  about  34  Elizabeth  ( 159 1-2),  William  Orrell,  for  sixty  pounds 
to  be  paid  by  Elizabeth  Sharpies  and  Edmund,  her  son,  demised  the  said 
messuage  and  tenement  in  variance  to  Elizabeth  and  Edmund  for  their 
lives.  William  Orrell  demised  to  Elizabeth  Sharpies  for  twenty  pounds 
(her  portion  of  the  sixty  pounds)  certain  closes  specified,  for  her  life.  And 
it  was  agreed  that  the  Bent,  with  the  Fouldes  lying  about  the  messuage 
and  tenement,  should  be  occupied  in  common  between  Elizabeth  and 
Edmund  ;  and  afterwards  Edmund  assigned  to  the.  complainant  his  title  to 
the  said  messuage  and  tenement,  for  a  sum  of  money. 

Margery  and  Anne  say  they  make  no  claim  than  as  children  and 
servants  to  Elizabeth,  and  only  to  that  portion  possessed  by  Elizabeth  and 
to  her  demised. 

The  Replication  of  William  Kennyon,  Complainant  (3  Feb.,  1598):* 

William  Kennyon  says  that  he  indicted  the  defendants  at  the  Quarter 
Sessions,  at  Manchester,  about  four  years  ago  for  unlawfully  disturbing  him 
in  the  possession  of  the  property,  yet  by  the  means  of  Richard  Holland  and 
Edmund  Hopwood,  Esqs.,  two  of  the  justices  of  the  peace  at  the  Quarter 
Sessions,  held  at  Manchester  9  October,  36  Elizabeth  (1594),  it  was  agreed 
between  him  on  the  one  part  and  Elizabeth  Sharpies,  widow,  on  the  other 
part,  that  the  land  in  her  occupation  should  be  measured  by  William  Orrell, 
Esq.,  and  if  it  amounted  to  more  than  fifteen  acres  the  repliant  should  have 
the  surplus,  but  if  less  then  to  be  made  up  from  the  land  of  the  repliant, 
paying  him  for  the  same.     (A  long  account  about  this  follows.)     William

Orrell,  by  indenture  of  award  dated  16  February,  38  Elizabeth,  ordered 
that  Elizabeth  Sharpies  should  have  fifteen  acres.  (A  long  account  follows, 
in  which  he  denies  the  statement  made  by  the  defendants.) 

William  Ward  alias  Sharples  versus  Richard  Ward  alias  Sharples. 
(Brought  in  31  October,  1600.*) 

William  Ward  alias  Sharpies,  husbandman,  complains,  that — 

Whereas,  Edmund  Wardef  alias  Sharpies,  late  of  Sharpies,  county  of 
Lancaster,  husbandman,  deceased,  late  father  to  the  complainant,  was  an 
ancient  tenant  of  a  tenement  in  Sharpies  and  his  ancestors  before  him, 
unto  one  Alexander  Warde  alias  Sharpies,  now  deceased  (kinsman  to 
William  Warde  and  Anne,  his  sister),  late  lord  and  owner  and  his  ances- 
tors before  him.  The  said  Edmund  Warde,  father  of  the  complainant, 
died  tenant  of  the  tenement,  leaving  the  complainant  and  one  Anne,  his 
sister,  both  within  age,  being  his  only  children.  Afterwards  one  Richard 
Warde,  uncle  to  complainant,  now  also  deceased,  entered  into  the  tenement 
as  their  guardian,  and  so  prevailed  with  the  said  Alexander  Warde  as  to 
obtain  a  lease  of  the  tenement  for  himself,  which  he  would  not  grant  until 
Richard  promised  to  pay  a  sum  of  money  to  your  subject  and  to  Anne,  his 
sister,  which  Richard  consented  to  do.  Afterwards,  Richard  Warde  alias 
Sharpies,  made  his  will  and  made  Margery,  then  his  wife,  and  William 
Stones  his  executors.  Since  which  time  Anne,  the  complainant's  sister,  is 
also  dead.  But  one  Richard  Warde  alias  Sharpies,  gentleman,  son  and 
heir  of  the  said  Alexander,  having  come  into  the  possession  of  the  writing 
proving  the  complainant's  right  to  the  money,  combining  with  the  execu- 
tors, refuses  to  give  it  up  to  complainant  or  to  pay  the  money,  to  the  utter 
undoing  of  the  complainant,  who  is  a  poor  laboring  man.  30 
October,  1600,  42  Elizabeth. 

Another  of  the  same  stock  was  Geoffrey,  or  Jeffrey  Sharpies,  who 
appeared  as  defendant  in  a  bill  filed  27  April,  1581.J 

Alan  Hulton  versus  Adam  Stones  and  Jeffrey  Sharples. 

Alan  Hulton,  of  Farneworthe,  county  of  Lancaster,  Esq.,  complains 
that — 

Whereas,  He  was  seized  of  messuages,  etc.,  in  Farneworthe,  Rum- 
worthe,   Kersley  and   Bolton,   county  of  Lancaster,  in    fee,  and,   being  in

f  This  Edmund  was  probably  the  "  Mr.  Ed.  Sharpies,  of  Towerton  (Turton),"  who,  according  to  Dugdale 
married  Margaret,  the  daughter  of  Richard  Sharpies,  of  Sharpies.

suit  for  some  part  of  the  said  lands,  stayed  at  the  house  of  Adam  Stones, 
his  natural  uncle,  and  when  he  was  going  to  London  about  the  suit  he  left 
in  the  custody  of  Adam  Stones  and  Margaret,  his  daughter,  now  the  wife 
of  Geoffrey  Sharpies,  six  pieces  of  evidences  concerning  the  lands  in 
Farneworthe  and  Bolton,  besides  various  goods  and  chattels,  which  they 
refuse  to  give  up. 

This  Geoffrey  Sharpies  appears  to  have  removed  to  Flixton,  in  the 
county  of  Lancaster.  His  will  is  dated  March  2,  1602-3  ;  in  it  he  is 
described  as  a  yeoman;  he  bequeathed  his  "leather  breeches"  to  Adam 
Stones  ;  to  his  cousin  Richard  Ward  ten  shillings,  and  he  acknowledges 
a  debt  of  five  pounds  to  his  uncle,  Alexander  Ward. 

The  Flixton  Registers  prove  the  following  :

There  was  a  Richard  Sharpies  living  at  Wynbunbury,  in  Cheshire, 
from  1579  to  1 641,  and  a  Jeffrey  Sharpies,*  of  the  same  place,  is  supposed 
to  have  been  his  brother ;  this  Jeffrey's  son  John  emigrated  to  Pennsyl- 
vania. The  foregoing  particulars  seem  to  point  to  the  probability  that 
either  Alexander  Sharpies  alias  Warde,  who  married  the  daughter  of 
Richard  Urmston,  or  his  son  Richard  had  two  or  more  sons  whose  names 
were  not  recorded  by  the  Heralds,  an  omission  of  this  kind  being  a  very 
common  occurrence.  There  can  be  no  reasonable  doubt  but  that  Jeffrey 
Sharpies,  of  Flixton,  was  a  descendant  of  the  original  stock. 

After  the  death  of  John  Sharpies,  of  Sharpies  Hall,  in  1736,  the  estates 
passed  to  the   two  daughters,  Anne  and  Mary,  and  by  deed  of  partition 

•A  Jeffrey  Sharpies  held  a  cottage  in  Ribchester,  in  Lancashire,  in  1647.  (Sec  Church  Survey,  Record 
Society  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  vol.  i.  201. 


IO  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

dated  i  May  1749,  their  two  husbands,  the  Rev.  Samuel  Lawson  and  Roger 
Brantwood,  gentleman,  divided  the  estates.  In  this  deed,  amongst  other 
things,  is  mentioned  a  "pew  in  Bolton  Church."  Sharpies  Hall  descended 
to  John  Lawson,  son  of  Samuel  Lawson,  and  afterwards  to  his  son,  John 
Sharpies  Lawson,  M.D.,  of  Edinburgh,  who,  in  18 15,  sold  it  to  James 
Rothwell,  of  Much  Hoole.  in  the  county  of  Lancaster,  Esq.,  for  six  thou- 
sand five  hundred  and  twenty  pounds. 

The  date  of  the  erection  of  the  first  Sharpies  Hall  is  unknown,  but 
probably  an  Elizabethan  building  gave  place  to  one  of  later  date.  The 
present  Hall  is  a  plain  building  with  a  centre  and  two  gables. 

Another  branch  of  the  family  lived  at  Sharpies  House,  in  Eccleston, 
in  Lancashire.  They  descended  from  Roger  Sharpies,  the  second  son  of 
Roger  Sharpies,  of  Sharpies  Hall,  and  Hester  (the  daughter  of  Thomas 
Heton),  his  wife;  this  Roger  (the  younger)  died  at  Sharpies  House  in 
1675,  leaving  issue:  1.  William,  died  young;  2.  Henry,  was  living  in  1666; 
3.  John,  of  whom  presently;  4.  Ellen,  born  1658;  5.  Jane,  died  1657. 

John,  the  third  son  of  Roger  Sharpies,  was  born  in  February,  1645, 
was  an  M.D.,  and  lived  at  Sharpies  House.  He  married  Christiana, 
daughter  of  William  Carter,  of  Blacklow  Hall  and  Carter  House,  in 
Mawdesley,  in  the  parish  of  Croston,#  in  Lancashire,  by  whom  he  had 
issue:  1.  Henry,  died  young;  2.  William,  of  whom  presently  ;  3.  Elizabeth, 
died  unmarried  17  June,  1687  ;  4.  Jane,  born  1684. 

William,  the  second  son  of  John  Sharpies,  was  born  12  August,  1693; 
he  followed  his  father's  profession  and  lived  at  Sharpies  House  and 
Blacklow  Hall.  He  died  in  July,  1765,  having  married  Mary,  daughter 
and  co-heiress  to  Daniel  Pilgrim,  of  Warrington,  and  niece  of  Dr.  Thomas 
Pilgrim,  rector  of  Standish.     He  had   issue  four  daughters:   1.  Christiana, 

who  married  the  Rev.  Mr.  Knowles,  died  1826  ;  2.  Jane,  married  Mr. 

Mackie ;  3.  Mar)',  married  Lancelot  Graham,*  a  clergyman ;  4.  Eliza, 
married  Mr.  Fayer.     This  branch  then  became  extinct. 

*  He  had  issue  four  sons,  the  eldest  of  whom,  Lancelot  Graham,  married  Ellen,  daughter  of  John  Torbock, 
of  Torbock,  county  Lancaster,  and  had  issue  two  sons,  Alfred  and  Henry;  the  former  died  in  1873.  To  his 
eldest  son,  Henry  Graham,  Captain  Sixteenth  Lancers,  I  am  indebted  for  the  details  of  this  branch  of  the  family. 


SHARPLES  OF  FRECKLETON, 


DUGDALE,  in  his  Visitations  of  Lancashire,  records  two  pedigrees 
of  this  family,  the  one  of  Sharpies  and  the  other  of  Freckleton, 
in  the  parish  of  Kirkham.      Flower,  in  his  visitation  in  1567,  only 
gave  the  Freckleton  branch — in  every  case,  however,  the  arms 
assigned  are  the  same. 

In  the  fifteenth  century,  an  offshoot  of  the  parent  stock  settled  in 
the  parish  of  Kirkham.  By  deed  dated  22  October,  19  Edward  IV. 
(1479).*  Richard  Butler,  of  Laton,  in  the  county  of  Lancaster,  attornied 
\\  llliam  Billisdale  to  receive  seizin  from  Thomas  Sharpies,  of  Killymire,  in 
the  "vil"  of  Thistleton  (in  Kirkham,)  of  certain  lands  there.  A  Thomas 
Sharpies,  probably  the  son  of  the  above-named  Thomas,  died  at 
Kellermere  12  July,  19  Henry  VIII.  (1527),  and  his  son  William,  then 
fifteen  years  old,  was  his  heir.f  Before  the  close  of  the  century,  the 
parish  register  gives  evidence  that  the  family  had  very  much  increased, 
as  there  were  the  following  and  perhaps  others  then  living  in  the  parish, 
viz.:  James  Sharpies  married  Joan  Wilkinson  30  September,  1569;  they 
had  a  son  John,  baptized  20  March,  1586.  Ester,  the  wife  of  James 
Sharpies,  of  Wray,  died  in  April,  1578,  and  his  inq.  post.  mort.  was 
taken  in  37  Elizabeth  (1594-5).  John  Sharpies  had  a  son  James, 
baptized  11  November,  1552.  James  Sharpies  was  buried  9  January, 
1 562-3  ;  a  son  of  his  was  buried  23  January,  1 540-1,  and  a  son  Miles  was 
buried  31  January,  1 560-1.  Henry  Sharpies,  of  Wray,  died  in  November, 
1578.  Giles  Sharpies  was  buried  in  1568.  Richard  Sharpies  and  Ellen 
Cowbron  (widow)  were  married  3  December,  1568. 

In  1589,  John  Sharpies,  gentleman,  was  churchwarden  of  Kirkham,  and 
in  1648  George  Sharpless  was  elected  a  feofee  of  the  Kirkham  Free 
Grammar  School  in  the  place  of  James  Sharpies,  "  who  had  gone  to  live 
across  the   Ribble."     It  may  safely  be  assumed  that  the  John  who  was

12  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

elected  churchwarden  in  1589  was  die  same  John  Sharpies  to  whom,  on  8 
December,  1591,  the  dean  and  chapter  of  Christ  Church,  Oxford,  granted 
the  advowson  of  Kirkham  Church  for  twenty-one  years.* 

In  1 591,  John  Sharpies  was  nominated  as  vicar  of  Kirkham.  James 
Sharpies,  who  was  a  graduate  of  St.  John's  College,  Cambrige,  and  who  in 
giving  the  usual  bond  to  the  bishop  on  his  appointment  to  the  vicarage, 
named  as  his  bondsman  his  kinsman,  John  Sharpies,  of  Freckleton, 
yeoman.  The  Rev.  James  Sharpies  did  not  long  enjoy  his  preferment,  as 
he  was  buried  at  Kirkham,  21  September,  1594. 

The  next  vicar  was  presented  by  John  Sharpies  in  the  following  month. 
In  1598  the  living  was  again  vacant,  and  this  time  Cuthbert  Sharpies,  the 
son  ot  John  Sharpies,  of  Orford,  near  Warrington,  made  the  presentment. 

Cuthbert  Sharpies  was  himself  living  at  Orford  and  was  acting  as 
steward  or  auditor  of  the  Ireland  estates.  He  died  in  1618  ;  his  inq.  post, 
morl.  was  held  in  17  James  I.,  and  from  this  and  his  will  (proved  1618)  it 
appears,  that  he  then  lived  at  Latham,  near  Ormskirk,  and  held  lands  there. 
He  had  issue  a  son  George  and  a  daughter  Elizabeth.  His  wife  Anne  sur- 
vived  him,  and  he  had  a  brother  Arthur,  and  John  Nowell,  of  Read,  was 
his  brother-in-law.  There  must  have  been  two  marriages  between  the  two 
families,  as  Anne,  the  daughter  of  Roger  Nowell,  of  Read  (who  was  high- 
sheriff  of  Lancashire  in  1610),  married  John  Sharpies,  of  Freckleton,  who 
died  in  1651.  The  great-uncle  of  Roger  Nowell  was  Alexander  Nowell, 
dean  of  St.  Paul's,  London.    He  died  13  February,  1 601-2,  aged  ninety-five. 

The  John  Sharpies,  of  Freckleton,  who  purchased  the  advowson  of 
Kirkham,  in  1 591 ,  and  John  Sharpies,  of  Orford,  we  take  to  be  identical, 
and  that  being  so,  Cuthbert  Sharpies  was  the  brother  of  Arthur  Sharpies, 
although  his  name  is  omitted  by  Dugdale,  and  one  of  his  sisters  (also 
omitted)  married  a  John  Nowell,  of  Reed  Hall.      (See  Pedigree.) 

In  the  civil  wars  a  Captain  George  Sharpies,  of  Lytham  (the  adjoining 
parish  to  Kirkham),  served  under  Colonel  Alexander  Rigby  on  the  Parlia- 
mentary side,  and  in  May,  1 644,  he  was  taken  prisoner  by  the  Earl  of  Derby 
and  was  "carried  through  the  streets  (of  Bolton)  almost  naked  and  bare- 
footed, in  the  mire  and  dirt,  to  Mr.  Cuthbert  Clifton,  eldest  son  of  Mr. 
Thomas  Clifton,  of  Lytham,  landlord  to  the  said  Captaine,  who,  when  he 
came  before  him  and  others  like  himselfe,  they  caused  him  to  stand  in  the 
dirt  to  his  knees,  jeering  at  him,  and  put  a  Psalter  into  his  hands  that  he 
might  sing  them  a  Psalme  to  make  them  sporte."      He  was  afterwards  sent

with  the  other  prisoners  to  the  parish  church  for  safe  custody,  the  next  day, 
*•  with  a  paire  of  clogs  upon  his  feet  and  a  musket  upon  his  shoulders, 
like  a  pore  soldier."  He  was  marched  off  towards  the  Moors,  but  on  the 
road  he  managed  to  escape. *  This  was  probably  George  Sharpies,  of 
Freckleton,  who  would  then  be  about  twenty-three  years  old.  He  married 
the  daughter  of  Edward  Veale,  of  Winnings,  in  the  parish  of  Rispham,  in 
Lancashire,  and  Edward  Yeale,  in  his  will  dated  25  November,  1650,  left 
"ten  shillings  to  his  son-in-law,  George  Sharpies."

Proceedings 


Bi-Centennial  Celebration  of  the  Landing  of 
John  Sharples  and  Family, 

l682.        Held  at  Waterville  24™  of  8th  month,  1882.        j  QQ~> 


GOOD  deeds  are  in  ever)-  way  worthy  of  commemoration.  They 
serve  as  an  example  to  others.  The  perpetuation  of  their 
memory  as  a  means  of  presenting  a  lesson  to  succeeding  gene- 
rations has  received  the  favor  of  mankind  throughout  the  history 
of  the  race.  The  memory  of  the  simple  life  of  the  ancestor  of  the  Sharpless 
family  in  America,  clings  with  greatest  tenacity  to  the  fact,  that  its  salient 
characteristic  was  a  devout  adherence  to  principles  and  maintenance  of  testi- 
monies to  them,  so  at  variance  with  those  commonly  accepted,  as  to  lead  to 
harsh  treatment  and  persecution.  In  order  that  his  convictions  might  be 
maintained  in  their  integrity  without  interference,  and  that  he  might  enjoy 
the  freedom  to  worship  in  accordance  with  the  guidance  of  the  light  given 
him,  John  Sharpies  gave  up  his  home  in  his  native  country  to  establish  one 
in  the  wilderness  of  the  new  world  amid  its  savage  tribes.  The  faith  in 
his  Divine  Guide  and  Protector,  which  gave  him  courage  to  meet  the 
dangers  of  the  sea  and  the  wilderness,  was  the  seed  then  planted.  Its 
fruit  is  shown  in  the  blessings  now  enjoyed  by  his  decendants  living  in  the 
fairest  land  and  under  the  best  government  yet  known.  It  was  the  grand 
demonstration  in  memory  of  the  independence  of  our  country,  held  on  the 
centennial  anniversary  of  its  birth,  that  presented  to  the  mind  of  one  of  his 
descendents  the  thought  of  preserving  the  memory  of  John  Sharpies' 
achievement  of  independence  of  conscience  by  gathering  his  posterity  at 
the  site  of  the  settler's  cabin  when  the  bi-centennial  of  his  landing  in  this 
country  should  arrive.  This  thought  was  mentioned  to  a  few  of  the  family, 
who  received  it  with  approval,  and  it  was  by  these  remembered  until  the

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


dawn  of  the  bi-centennial  year,  1882.  About  the  first  of  the  sixth  month 
(June)  of  that  year,  a  circular  was  prepared,  to  which  several  prominent 
members  of  the  family  attached  their  names.  The  following-  is  a  copy  of 
the  circular : 


ARMS   OF   THE   SHARPLES    FAMILY,    1 664. 

"It  is  believed  that  all  now  living  in  the  United  States,  of  the  name  of  Sharpless,  are 
descendants  from  John  Sharpies,  who,  with  his  family,  emigrated  from  England  and  landed  at 
Chester,  Pennsylvania,  on  the  14th  of  6th  mo.  (old  style)  1682. 

"  In  commemoration  of  that  event,  it  is  proposed  to  hold  a  reunion  of  his  descendants  at 
the  place  where  the  family  settled,  on  Ridley  Creek,  near  Chester,  on  the  24th  day  of  the  8th 
month  (August)  next,  that  being,  according  to  the  present  mode  of  chronological  reckoning, 
the  two  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  day  on  which  the  family  landed. 

"It  is  intended  to  be  a  social  family  gathering,  to  promote  friendship  among  kindred  and 
strengthen  the  bonds  of  relationship  ;  held  on  the  spot  where  our  common  ancestor  (after  suffering 
for  conscience  sake  in  his  native  land)  erected  his  cabin  in  the  wilderness  of  the  new  world. 

"Sketches  of  family  history  will  be  read;  the  old  family  Bible,  and  such  other  relics  as 
can  be  obtained,  will  be  exhibited. 

"A  cordial  invitation  is  extended  to  all  of  the  descendants  of  the  family  to  be  present, 
and  bring  with  them  anything  they  may  have  in  their  possession  that  will  throw  any  light  on  the 
history  of  the  family  or  indicate  its  progress.

About  one  thousand  of  these  were  sent  through  the  mails,  and  a 
general  and  thorough  interest  was  manifested  by  the  descendants  in  all 
parts  of  the  country.  A  spirit  of  genealogical  investigation  was  incited 
and  many  persons  were  surprised  to  find  that  they  belonged  to  the  family, 
a  fact  they  were  quite  willing  to  accept.     Friends  and  neighbors  discovered

17 


ties  of  relationship  they  knew  not  of,  and  scattered  members  of  the  tribe 
came  forth  to  assert  the  integrity  of  their  lineage. 

Numerous  letters  of  approval  were  received,  some  of  which  are  of 
sufficient  interest  to  mention  here.  The  venerable  William  M.  Green, 
Episcopal  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  of  Mississippi,  then  in  his  eighty-fifth 
year,  wrote  to  J.  Clemson  Sharpless  as  follows: 

"Sewaxee,  Tennessee,  July  z\.  1SS2. 
"My  Dear  Sir:  Your  letter  has  been  truly  welcome,  and  has  stirred  up  my  Quaker 
blood  considerably.  I  would  say  that  I  am  proud  of  that  blood,  if  pride  were  not  forbidden 
to  us.  But  oftentimes,  when  I  have  either  heard  or  read  of  the  boast  of  'Norman  blood,'  I 
have  felt  very  well  content  with  my  more  peaceful  origin.  You  will  not  wonder  that  I  heartily 
approve  of  your  proposed  bi-centennial  commemoration,  and  that  I  have  a  strong  desire  to 
attend  it.  If  my  health  and  other  circumstances  will  admit,  I  will  try  during  that  time  to  be 
with  you  and  see  the  very  spot  where  my  worthy  and  unpretentious  progenitor  first  pitched  his  tent." 

Helen  Hunt  Jackson,  the  wife  of  William  Sharpless  Jackson,  of 
Colorado  Springs,  a  leading  poetess  and  writer  over  the  signature  of 
"H.  H.,"  whose  recent  death  is  sadly  lamented,  wrote  as  follows  : 

"  Mr.  Jackson  and  I  are  very  sorry  we  cannot  be  present  at  the  Sharpless  reunion.  I 
think  too  much  cannot  be  made  of  such  family  reunions.  They  tend  to  arouse  and  keep  alive 
that  sentiment  of  reverence  for  the  past  which  is  so  deficient  in  the  average  American  nature. 
A  boy  who  begins  life  with  a  strong  sense  of  worthy  pride  in  his  ancestors  is  far  less  likely  to 
become  an  unworthy  man  than  the  boy  who  does  not  know  or  care  who  went  before  him  in  the 
family  record." 

The  interest  manifested  by  the  members  of  the  family  was  so  general 
that  it  gave  the  promise  that  the  occasion  would  indeed  be  a  notable  one. 
This  promise  was  fully  realized. 

Early  in  the  seventh  month  (July)  a  few  of  the  family  met  at  Sharpless 
Rock  in  order  that  an  organization  might  be  effected  for  the  purpose  of 
preparing  for  the  interesting  event.  John  Sharpless,  of  near  Chester,  was 
made  president  of  this  meeting,  and  Charles  W.  Sharpless,  of  Philadelphia, 
secretary.  Plans  for  the  bi-centennial  were  discussed,  and  it  was  finally 
resolved  to  appoint  a  committee  to  whom  should  be  assigned  the  charge  of 
preparing  for  the  meeting  on  the  approaching  anniversary. 

The  following  persons  acted  as  the  committee :  John  Sharpless, 
Townsend  T.  Sharpless,  George  Sharpless,  Henry  Palmer,  Susan 
Sharpless,  Sallie  Sharpless,  Anna  Sharpless,  Anna  P.  Sharpless,  Ruthanna 
Sharpless,  Phebe  H.  Palmer,  Ann  Trimble,  Anna  P.  Chambers,  all  of  the 
vicinity  of  Chester;  Joel  Sharpless,  of  Middletown;  R.  Anna  Darlington, 
Lydia  C.  Sharpless,  J.  Clemson  Sharpless,  of  West  Chester;  Charles  W. 
Sharpless,  Samuel  L.  Smedley  and  Sylvester  Garrett,  of  Philadelphia. 


I  8  THE  SHARP  LESS  FA  MIL  Y. 

A  meeting  of  the  committee  was  held  at  the  same  place  on  the  second 
of  the  eighth  month,  at  which  time  definite  plans  were  adopted  and 
sub-committees  were  appointed  to  special  duties  in  connection  with  the 
occasion. 

On  the  24th,  after  a  night  of  frequent  showers,  the  morning  broke 
bright  and  beautiful,  opening  a  day  which  proved  charmingly  fitted  for  the 
gathering  of  John  Sharpies'  descendants  at  the  site  of  the  first  home  of 
the  family  in  the  new  world. 

At  an  early  hour  members  of  the  committee  of  arrangements  were 
upon  the  grounds  busy  in  preparing  for  the  reception  of  visitors.  A 
vacant  dwelling  which  stood  near  the  Rock  had  been  fitted  up  with  beds 
and  cots,  that  the  aged,  the  infirm,  and  infant  children  might  have  a  place 
to  rest  when  fatigued  by  the  journey  or  the  heat  of  the  day.  Here  too 
was  a  room  where  lunch-baskets,  and  fruits  and  refreshments  and  extra 
garments  were  stored.  Barrels  of  ice-water  were  provided  for  the  thirsty 
ones,  and  all  arrangements  necessary  for  the  comfort  of  the  visitors  were 
full  and  complete.  Under  the  trees,  near  by,  glass  cases,  upon  rude 
stands,  were  ready  for  the  reception  of  relics  to  be  displayed.  Upon  the 
bluff  a  platform,  with  hastily  constructed  seats,  had  been  prepared  for  the 
meeting,  and  a  commodious  foot-bridge  had  been  built  over  the  creek  in 
order  to  facilitate  the  approach  to  the  grounds  from  the  public  road.  All 
this,  together  with  the  decoration  of  the  grounds,  represented  a  large 
amount  of  labor,  and  to  the  energy,  ingenuity,  and  thoughtful  care  of 
members  of  the  family  residing  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  place 
the  visitors  were  largely  indebted  for  so  much  that  contributed  to  their 
comfort  and  pleasure. 

Each  member  of  the  committee  of  arrangements  was  provided  with  a 
badge  of  white  satin  ribbon,  about  two  inches  wide,  on  which  was  printed 
in  gold  letters —

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  I9 

For  a  few  invited  guests  (not  members  of  the  family)^badges  of  pink 
satin  were  provided  ;  on  these  in  black  letters  was  printed — 

SHARPLESS 

BI-CENTENNIAL. 

6-14-1682. 
8-24-1882. 

A  handsome  bronze  medal,  executed  by  the  engraver  of  the  United 
States  Mint,  prepared  under  the  direction  of  Charles  \Y.  Sharpless,  of 
Philadelphia,  was  purchased  by  many  as  a  memento  of  the  occasion.  This 
was  much  admired  and  was  regarded  as  a  fine  specimen  of  art. 


To  each  member  of  the  family  who  registered  at  the  registry  bureau 
was  given  a  badge  of  pink  card-board,  the  size  of  a  silver  dollar,  on  which 
was  printed  "Sharpless  Bi-Centennial,  8th  mo.  24th,  18S2."  The  name  of 
the  person,  with  their  number  on  the  registry  list,  was  written  on  this,  and 
it  was  worn  in  a  conspicuous  place,  to  indicate  at  a  glance  that  the  wearer's 
name  had  been  entered  in  the  registry. 

In  the  following  account  of  the  gathering  we  have  copied  largely  from 
the  Daily  Local  News,  published  at  West  Chester,  Pa.,  August  25,  1882  : 

In  16S2,  6th  mo.  14,  John  Sharpies,  with  his  wife  and  seven  children, 
after  a  long,  tedious  and  perilous  journey,  landed  in  Chester,  in  Pennsyl- 
vania. 

Observing  the  difference  between  the  old  and  new  style  in  the  com- 
putation of  time,  the  bi-centennial  of  the  landing  takes  date  August  24, 
1882,  and  in  commemoration  of  this  event  Thursday  was  duly  observed 
by  a  grand  reunion  of  the  descendants  at  Waterville,  in  Nether  Provi- 
dence Township,  Delaware  County,  at  which  place  the  original  ancestors 


20  THE  SHARPLESS  FAM1L  Y. 

first  located  themselves  in  the  land  of  their  adoption  and  erected  and  lived 
in  what,  "though  ever  so  humble,"  was  nevertheless  a  home. 


SHARPLESS    ROCK. 

Two  miles  north  of  the  city  of  Chester  they  found  upon  the  banks  of 
Ridley  Creek  and  amid  the  almost  unbroken  forest  a  beautiful  stream 
flowing  at  the  base  of  a  rather  steep  bluff  formed  of  rock  and  lying  to  the 
south.  The  spot  is  a  charming  one  now,  and  two  hundred  years  ago  it 
appeared  to  have  charms  also,  at  least  sufficient  to  enlist  the  admiration 
and  love  of  the  pioneer  Sharpless  family,  composed  of  John  and  Jane  and 
their  seven  children. 

Now  it  is  known  as  Waterville,  a  quaint-looking  little  village,  contain- 
ing a  dozen  or  so  dwellings  with  a  couple  of  abandoned  and  dingy  looking 
woolen-mills  and  one  grist-mill,  the  latter  being  the  only  active  manufac- 
turing feature  in  the  village.  The  little  town  is  nestled  between  hills,  and 
in  its  own  character  and  through  force  of  its  natural  surroundings  it  is 
beautifully  picturesque. 

Though  the  inroads  of  two  centuries  of  civilization  have  robbed  the 
place  of  much  of  its  native  and  original  grandeur,  still  it  presents  features 
of  quiet,  diversified  scenery  and  rural  home  attractions  such  as  impress 
themselves  upon  the  mind  of  the  visitors. 

Upon  the  stream,  along  the  rocky  hillside,  on  the  summit,  in  the 
sparkling  valley — in  fact  at  every  point  the  descendants  of  the  venture- 
some John  gathered  by  the  hundreds  on  Thursday.  By  car  and  private 
conveyances  they  came  from  every  point,  and  long  before  the  sun  had 
reached  his  quarter  pole  the  landscape  was  dotted  with  groups  of  happy 
people  of  all  ages,  bent  upon  doing  honor  to  the  day  and  date  set  apart 
for  family  observance. 

Busy  committees  of  arrangements,  with  their  sub-committees,  flitted 
here  and  there  in  the  active  discharge  of  their  duties  that  their  guests 
might  find  every  comfort  common  to  such  an  occasion.  At  the  head  of  all 
this  work  our  townsman,  J.  Clemson  Sharpless,  was  conspicuously  active 
and  energetic,  and  to  his  energy  and  executive  abilities  much  credit  is  due 
for  the  very  successful  observance  of  this  day,  so  rich  in  historic  lore  to 
every  member  of  this  well-known,  influential  and  prosperous  family. 

Large  baskets,  with  snow  white  cloths,  bespoke  an  ample  provision  of 
good  things  to  tempt  the  inner  man,  and,  as  each  new  arrival  reached  the 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  2  1 

grounds,  they  were  carefully  taken  charge  of,  and  in  the  rounds  of  hand- 
shaking and  cheerful  greetings  the  scene  was  such  as  is  only  seen  when 
long-separated  friends  again  join  hearts  and  hands  at  the  family  altar. 

Up  to  high  noon  the  stream  of  visitors,  relatives  and  participants 
continued  to  pour  into  the  grounds  from  all  directions,  and  amid  the  many 
greetings  prominent  was  heard  the  exclamation,  "  Why  I  never  before 
knew  that  you  were  a  Sharpless  !" 

Members  of  the  various  family  branches  carefully  and  enthusiastically 
compared  their  respective  family-trees,  and  thus  the  kin  found  unlooked- 
for  enjoyment  in  meeting  those  whom  they  never  had  met  before  and  with 
whom  they  had  never  realized  any  existing  kindred  tie. 

The  committee  of  arrangements  gathered  together  at  about  eleven 
o'clock  in  the  old  dwelling-  on  the  grounds  and  held  a  conference  for 
making  such  changes  and  additions  to  the  programme  as  were  deemed 
necessary.  The  fast  increasing  multitude  proved  that  the  most  sanguine 
expectations  of  those  foremost  in  getting  up  the  event  were  being  more 
than  realized  and  success  in  every  particular  was  assured. 

Upon  the  sloping  lawn  benches  from  a  near  by  meeting-house  had 
been  placed,  and  upon  these  hundreds  took  occasion  to  rest  and  enjoy  little 
tetc-a-tetcs.  Beside  the  race  which  babbles  along  in  its  sparkling  way  lead- 
ing from  the  old  grist-mill  into  the  village,  Mr.  Gutekunst,  Philadelphia's 
famous  photographic  artist,  had  erected  a  stand  or  lookout,  and  upon  this 
he  at  this  hour  proceeded  to  place  in  position  one  of  his  largest  instruments 
for  the  purpose  of  taking  views  of  the  beautiful  scene,  to  which  the 
rugged  hill  formed  a  most  charming  background. 

In  this  interim  almost  everyone  took  occasion  to  visit  the  house  built 
by  Joseph,  son  of  John  ist,  which  stands  on  the  brow  of  the  hill  to  the  west- 
ward. Relics  of  all  kinds,  rich  in  their  traditions,  were  displayed,  and  to 
every  eye  were  objects  of  unusual  interest.  On  the  grounds  near  the  Rock 
scores  of  these  were  exhibited  in  systematic  order  in  glass  cases,  and  in 
this  department  of  the  occasion  much  forethought,  good  judgment  and 
arduous  labor  was  abundantly  manifested.  We  have  prepared  a  list  of 
these  curiosities,  which  will  be  given  hereafter. 

Upon  an  arch  made  of  evergreens,  etc.,  on  the  end  of  the  foot-bridge 
spanning  Ridley  Creek,  and  which  led  you  directly  to  the  grove,  was  placed 
the  word  "  Welcome,"  underneath  which  were  the  mottoes  in  two  wreaths: 
"1682,  J.  &  J.  S.,  Our  Parents,"  and  "  1882,  Our  Brothers."  On  the 
reverse  side  were  the  inscriptions  :  "Pro  Veritas  Suffer  Fortiter." 
"  Dwellers  in  Peace  "  and  "  Pioneers  for  Conscience." 


22  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

And,  too,  the  work  of  registering  the  members  of  the  family  required 
no  little  amount  of  time  and  labor.  This  feature  the  committee  of  arrange- 
ments had  well  considered  and  most  thoroughly  provided  for — the  plan 
being  the  best  we  have  ever  seen.  Cards  were  issued  to  the  people,  with 
instructions  to  write  thereon  the  names,  dates  of  birth,  residence,  and  of 
what  branch  of  family,  which  greatly  facilitated  the  work.  A  large  wall 
tent,  well  equipped  with  all  appliances  for  the  business,  and  with  several 
active  men  in  charge,  served  to  fill  this  part  of  the  bill  of  needs  to  a 
nicety. 

At  this  registry  department,  photographs  of  the  Rock,  the  old  house 
built  by  the  hands  of  Joseph,  and  other  spots  of  interest,  also  medals  bear- 
ing the  coat-of-arms,  etc.,  were  displayed  for  sale,  and  for  which  there  was  a 
lively  demand  all  day  long.  Genealogical  charts,  prepared  by  Samuel  L. 
Smedley,  showing  much  care  and  elaborate  detail,  were  here  also  spread 
out  for  the  benefit  of  all  who  wished  to  study  the  great  family-tree  and  its 
branches,  and  thus  it  was  that  many  were  brought  to  realize  the  possession 
of  relations  of  whom  they  had  never  before  known  in  any  other  sense  of 
relationship  than  within  the  lines  of  friendship.  An  instance  came  to  the 
notice  of  the  writer  as  he  stood  before  these  charts,  which  will  elucidate 
what  we  have  said  above,  as  to  the  value  of  the  information  derived  and 
imparted  by  these  carefully  gotten-up  family  records.  Two  men,  one 
standing  before  the  other,  were  examining  the  location  of  their  farms  and 
the  branches  of  the  genealogical  chart.  Suddenly  the  one  in  the  rear 
tapped  the  other  on  the  shoulder,  and  moving  his  finger  over  it  said,  "  Here 
is  your  farm  and  here  is  mine.  Now  look  at  this  branch  record  of  the 
family-tree.  Here  is  your  name  and  here  is  mine,  and  as  true  as  I  live, 
though  we  have  owned  adjoining  farms  and  lived  near  neighbors  for  over 
twenty  years,  never  until  this  moment  was  I  aware  of  our  being  relatives." 
There  was  considerable  good  feeling  manifested  over  the  discovery,  and 
the  two  walked  pleasantly  away  together,  evidently  experiencing  a  new 
interest  for  each  other — one  based  upon  the  broader  grounds  of  family  ties. 

At  eleven-thirty  o'clock  the  committee  of  arrangements  announced 
that  at  one  o'clock  the  relatives  of  the  family  would  assemble  on  the  lawn 
and  slope  of  the  hill  and  immediately  around  the  Sharpless  Rock  for  the 
photographic  picture,  and  at  one-thirty  the  programme  of  literary  exercises 
would  be  commenced  in  the  grove  on  the  brow  of  the  hill.  After  this 
announcement  the  dinner  hour  was  observed,  and  all  over  the  grounds 
families  scattered  themselves  beneath  the  ample  shade  trees  and  partook 
of  the  good  things  with  which  they  had  well  provided  themselves. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


23 


This  interesting  part  of  the  day's  observances  having  been  faithfully 
performed,  the  throng  gathered  at  the  Rock,  the  more  patriarchal  members 
being  given  a  conspicuous  position  in  the  foreground,  and  in  a  few  moments 
three  views  were  taken  by  the  photographer,  after  which  the  stand  on  the 
hill  was  sought  and  the  literary  exercises  of  the  occasion  were  entered 
upon. 

The  meeting  was  brought  to  order  by  Samuel  L.  Smedley,  Chief 
Engineer  and  Surveyor  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  and  was  organized  by 
calling  John  Sharpless,  a  resident  of  the  vicinity  of  the  first  home  of  the 
settlers,  to  the  chair.  Upon  his  taking  the  stand  he  expressed  thanks  for 
the  honor  thus  conferred  upon  him,  and  stated  that  he  had  been  born  and 
lived  continuously  near  that  spot,  that  he  bore  the  name  of  the  pioneer 
emigrant — his  worthy  ancestor.  His  remarks  were  apropos  to  the  hour 
and  place,  and  were  listened  to  with  marked  attention  by  the  vast 
concourse  of  friends  and  relatives  grouped  around  the  platform. 

On  motion,  Jesse  K.  Sharpless,  of  Catawissa,  Pennsylvania,  Bishop 
Green,  of  Mississippi,  William  C.  Sharpless,  Philadelphia,  George 
Sharpless,  Nether  Providence,  Delaware  County,  Stephen  P.  Sharpless, 
Massachusetts,  and  Lewis  Garrett,  of  Radnor,  were  chosen  vice-presidents, 
the  six  representing  the  three  branches  of  the  family — descendants  of  John, 
James  and  Joseph  Sharpies. 

Three  secretaries  were  next  elected,  also  representing  the  three 
branches,  in  the  persons  of  Professor  Isaac  Sharpless,  of  Haverford 
College,  Pennsylvania,  Samuel  M.  Garrigues  and  Eugene  G.  Sharpless,  of 
Philadelphia. 

The  meeting  being  thus  organized,  James  E.  Clark,  Esq.,  from  Philadel- 
phia, was  introduced,  who  read  a  genealogical  sketch  of  the  Sharpless  family 
in  England,  prepared  and  furnished  for  the  occasion  by  Ezekiel  Hunn,  Jr., 
Esq.,  of  Philadelphia.  This  paper,  in  as  accurate  a  manner  as  the  records 
in  England  permitted  of  doing,  gives  the  family  history  as  far  back  as  the 
fifteenth  century,  and  also  much  valuable  information  relating  to  the 
coat-of-arms  adopted  and  worn  by  them  in  the  mother  country.  The 
preparation  of  this  production  showed  that  much  labor  and  research  had 
been  resorted  to,  and  in  the  work  the  most  reliable  and  authentic 
authorities  had  been  consulted.  As  the  reading  progressed  the  interest 
became  more  earnest  on  the  part  of  the  hearers,  and  those  on  the  outskirts 
of  the  throng  were  not  a  little  exercised  at  not  being  able  to  hear  it  as 
plainly  as  they  desired.  This  valuable  contribution  will  be  found  complete 
at  the  close  of  the  account  of  the  proceedings.

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


Next,  Nathan  J.  Sharpies,  of  West  Grove,  well  and  familiarly  known 
to  many  of  those  present,  was  introduced,  and  in  a  careful  and  intelligible 
manner,  as  the  family  historian  of  the  day,  read  the  following : 

FAMILY  ADDRESS. 

We  are  kindred  and  represent  various  branches  of  a  family  extended 
over  the  wide  area  of  this  country  from  the  northernmost  tier  of  States  to 
the  southernmost,  and  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  far  western  settlements. 

We  have  gathered  here  at  the  Rock  sacred  to  memory  as  the -one 
against  which  the  first  cabin  that  gave  shelter  to  our  progenitors  in 
America  was  placed.  We  have  come  not  only  to  commemorate  an  event 
from  which  we  date  our  existence  in  a  free  country,  where  liberty  of 
conscience,  freedom  of  speech  and  of  action,  as  well  as  the  possibilities  of 
reaping  the  fruits  of  labor  and  enterprise,  are  to  be  had,  but  to  look  each 
other  in  the  face  and  grasp  each  other  by  the  hand,  and  find  the  realization 
of  that  ancient  apothegm,  that  "  as  iron  sharpeneth  iron  so  does  the 
countenance  of  a  man  that  of  his  friend." 

Here  on  this  spot,  two  hundred  years  ago  to-day,  our  ancestors  came, 
worn  with  the  tedium  and  discomforts  of  a  long  voyage,  pressed  with  the 
cares  and  fears  that  beleaguer  the  mind  on  the  threshold  of  so  momentous 
an  event,  and  conscious  of  the  deprivations,  hardships  and  trials  that  must 
of  necessity  be  met  and  encountered  in  a  new  world,  where  complete 
civilization  had  not  yet  spread  her  mantle,  and  where  the  conveniences 
and  comforts  of  society  were  comparatively  unknown  ;  where  Nature, 
though  decked  in  all  the  panoply  that  wealth  of  soil,  magnificent  primeval 
forest,  crystal  streams,  genial  suns,  and  benign  skies,  still  could  not 
supplant  the  abundance  that  successful  tillage  added  to  the  production  of 
art  and  science  found  in  the  home  of  their  birth  could  supply;  and  which 
to  them  were  henceforth  to  be  beyond  the  barrier  of  the  great  ocean. 

They  came  to  this  country  with  unwavering  faith  and  willing  to 
endorse,  no  doubt,  the  declaration  of  their  friends  in  a  letter  to  their 
brethren  in  Great  Britain  dated  17th  of  first  month,  1683,  in  which  they  say: 

"  Dear  friends,  we  have  no  cause  to  murmur ;  our  lot  is  fallen  everyway  in  a  goodly  place, 
and  the  love  of  God  is  and  growing  among  us,  and  we  are  a  family  at  peace  within  ourselves. 
and  truly  great  is  our  joy  therefor."     (Janney's  Life  of  Pcnn,  page  224.) 

I  could  not  fail  to  notice,  in  letters  written  early  after  their  coming 
here,  how  little  detail  of  incident  and  how  much  of  thankfulness  for 
blessings  was  expressed. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


25 


In  the  inquiry  respecting  the  earliest  history  of  the  family,  it  is  of 
interest  to  discover  when  and  how  the  name  originated.  It  is  known  that 
the  earliest  names  of  history  have  a  meaning  from  Adam  (red  earth) 
down  through  the  various  ages.  Among  all  nations  and  peoples — at  first 
by  baptismal  name,  afterward  by  prefix  or  affix  compounding  names  and 
conferring  extended  significance — becoming  a  surname,  individualized, 
some  more  distinguished  than  their  fellows,  as  "Simon  surnamed  Peter," 
Ptolemy  Soter,  Edmund  Ironside,  etc.  These  surnames  were  not 
hereditary,  however.  Camden  places  the  era  of  hereditary  French 
surnames  at  A.  D.  1000,  and  of  English  at  about  the  time  of  the  conquest 
or  a  little  before.  This  has  reference  to  the  people  generally.  Family 
names  had  been  transmitted  at  an  earlier  period. 

A  very  large  proportion  of  French  and  English  names  are  German  in 
their  origin,  and  it  is  in  Germany  we  find  the  earliest  record  of  our  family 
name. 

After  an  examination  of  the  several  works  of  different  dates,  begin- 
ning with  Grimm,  the  father  of  Teutonic  Philology,  and  also  those  of  Graff 
and  Forstemann,  who  supplements  the  others.  Ferguson,  in  his  Teu- 
tonic Name  System,  etc.,  a  work  published  in  England  in  1864,  has  given 
the  name  we  are  in  quest  of.     He  remarks  : 

"  The  study  of  English  names  embraces  a  wider  field  than  that  of  the  English  language, 
because  we  have  no  longer  the  same  Anglo-Saxon  starting-point.  The  dialects  of  the  various 
tribes  who  came  to  this  country  were  fused  into  one  common  language,  and  that  was  Anglo- 
Saxon,  but  there  was  no  such  fusion  of  their  names.  In  all  their  dialectic  variations  the  names 
of  those  early  settlers  still  stand  in  the  London  Directory." 

It  is  not  without  interest  to  know  the  name — Salverte,  who  wrote  on 
the  names  of  men,  nations,  and  places,  has  well  said  : 

"  Our  proper  name  is  ourself  in  our  thoughts,  and  in  the  thoughts  of  those  who  know  us, 
and  it  cannot  be  separated  from  our  existence.  A  name,  however  apparently  insignificant, 
instantly  calls  to  our  remembrance  the  man,  his  personal  appearance,  his  moral  attributes,  or 
some  event  by  which  he  is  identified.  The  few  syllables  constituting  it  suffice  to  reopen  the 
fountain  of  a  bereaved  mother's  tears,  to  cover  with  blushes  the  forehead  of  the  maiden,  to 
agitate  the  heart  of  the  lover,  to  light  up  in  the  eyes  of  an  enemy  the  fires  of  rage  and  to 
awaken  in  the  breast  of  one  separated  by  distance  from  his  friend  the  liveliest  emotions  of  hope 
or  regret." 

The  old  adage,  Sine  nomine  Homo  non  est,  is  beyond  question,  and 
we  are  therefore  excusable  in  attempting  to  discover  the  name  and  its 
significance  which  belong  to  this  people  here  to-day.     We  are  not  left  to 


26  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

tradition  for  our  teacher.  Tradition  as  to  origin  of  facts  has  been  found 
many  times  substantially  correct;  but  "as  to  origin  of  names,"  in  almost 
all  cases  delusive  and  worthless  and  in  matters  of  etymology  is  generally 
sheer  invention. 

Ferguson,  in  speaking  of  the  credibility  of  the  various  authorities 
consulted  by  him,  says  of  the  Aldeutsches  Namenbuch,  "old  Dutch 
name  book,"  by  Forstemann  : 

"  It  is  a  most  complete,  solid,  and  trustworthy  work,  extremely  well  arranged  and  throw- 
ing more  light  on  English  names  than  any  other  book  I  know." 

In  this  we  find  the  derivation  of  our  name.  From  the  old  High 
German  "Lezan,"  modern  German  "Lesen,"  to  read,  old  Norse  "Lesa," 
to  study,  is  derived  the  stem  "Las,"  "  Les,"  "Lis."  As  a  termination 
"Leis"  is  found  in  five  German  names  of  the  eighth  century,  in  all  cases 
conferring  a  parallel  meaning. 

He  also  gives  English  names  with  this  termination  :  "  Leis  "  rendered 
into  its  proper  complement  "Less."  This  with  "Scarf,"  of  old  High 
German,  which  is  synonymous  with  "  Scearp "  in  Anglo-Saxon,  forms 
"Sharpless,"  the  equivalent  of  a  word  found  in  the  vocabulary  of 
Germany,  and  representing  the  meaning  just  referred  to. 

There  is  no  authority  discoverable  indicating  a  change  of  orthography 
to  have  been  made.  It  is  tradition  on  which  depends  the  assertion  that 
"  Sharpels,"  pronounced  as  this  termination  would  indicate,  was  at  one 
time  the  proper  name. 

To  recapitulate,  Sharpless  as  a  name  is  first  found  in  Germany  about 
the  eighth  century  and  its  significance  is  "  skillful  at  learning."  The  name 
occurs  in  England,  but  at  what  period  its  advent  was  we  are  not  informed. 
As  to  origination  in  the  beginning,  we  may  speculate  or  imagine ;  perhaps 
some  fond  parents,  who  with  many  in  every  generation,  were  prompted  by 
a  desire  to  impress  upon  the  coming  man  a  sense  of  the  ideal  pointed  to 
in  the  name,  gave  motive  for  aim  at  the  desired  purpose  to  be  prompt 
at  learning,  or,  what  is  more  complimentary,  some  conspicuous  merit 
summoned  the  appellation  from  willing  compeers. 

There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  persecution  imposed  in  England 
impelled  our  first  American  ancestry  to  seek  a  new  home,  and  they  came  to 
the  land  purchased  by  Penn  as  the  most  inviting  field  offered  to  escape  to, 
and  avoid  the  discomforts  of  their  situation  in  England,  as  well  as  offering 
prospects  of  extended  character. 


THE  SH ARTLESS  FAMILY.  2-j 

That  the  followers  of  Fox  were  persecuted  is  commonly  known.  A 
historian  remarks  of  George  Fox  : 

••  He  abhorred  all  principles  of  expediency  and  would  do  right,  or  what  the  inspired 
voice  within  him  assured  him  to  be  right,  regardless  of  all  consequences  and  all  tribulations." 

He  also  says,  speaking  of  the  Friends  : 

••  Neither  their  inoffensive  lives,  nor  their  doctrine  of  non-resistance,  nor  their  elevated 
-m  could  screen   them  from  the  wrath  of  judges,  bishops  and  legislators.     Thev  were 
imprisoned,  fined,  whipped,  and  lacerated  without  mercy,  but  they  endured  their  afflictions  with 
patience  and  never  lost  their  faith  in  truth  or  trust  in  God."     (Lord's  Modern  History.') 

Our  progenitor  was  a  victim  of  this  ruthless  persecution.  In  proof 
of  this  we  refer  to  Besses  Suffering's;  at  page  105,  in  the  year  1674  and 
1675,  in  the  account  of  distress  made,  Thomas  Brassey,  John  Symcock  and 
John  Sharpies  are  named,  among  others,  as  being  subjected  to  fine.  And 
on  page  108,  twenty-three  persons  are  said  to  have  been  convicted  under 
the  act  of  Queen  Elizabeth  lor  one  month's  absence  from  their  parish 
church  and  fined  twenty  pounds. 

That  John  Sharpies  was  a  prominent  member  of  his  profession  we 
have  evidence  in  a  work  printed  in  London,  in  1677,  entitled,  The  Light 
Unchangeable,  by  R.  Smith.      He  says  on  page  9  : 

••  My  friends  in  this  county  have,  every  month,  a  meeting,  where  commonly  two  or  three 
or  more  from  every  particular  meeting  meet  together  about  such  affairs  as  are  requisite  to  keep 
and  preserve  societies  in  peace  and  unit}-,  and  they  who  commonly  meet  at  these  places  are  these 
and  more,  viz. :  Thomas  Janney,  John  Badily,  John  Sharpies,  Thomas  Brassey,  John  Symcock," 
etc.  etc. 

Two  of  the  above  named  came  to  this  country  the  same  year  as  their 
neighbor,  John  Sharpies,  and  a  third,  Thomas  Janney,  in  the  following  year, 
in  the  ship  "Endeavor." 

John  Sharpies  and  family  possibly  left  England  in  the  ship  "Lion" — 
he,  his  wife,  Jane  Moor,  and  children :  Phebe,  John,  Thomas,  James, 
Caleb,  Jane  and  Joseph.  In  a  letter  published  here,  written  by  one  of  the 
passengers,  the  death  of  a  child  is  referred  to  as  occurring  on  the  passage. 

Our  fathers  found  peace  under  the  shelter  of  the  branches  of  a  fallen 
tree  and  were  content,  because  of  the  relief  they  found,  though  it  were  but 
an   imperfect  shield   'gainst  scorching  sun  or  merciless  rain.     Thus  they 


2S  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

lived  six  weeks  or  more  until  better  protection  could  be  had  in  a  cabin  of 
their  erection  against  this  Rock.  Yon  house  upon  the  rising  ground  erected 
by  Joseph,  the  youngest  son,  attests  his  skill  as  carpenter  of  that  early 
period. 

Here  in  the  wilds  with  roving  Indians  around  them,  but  from  whom 
they  probably  received  kind  acts,  because  their  better  nature  had  as  yet 
been  only  appealed  to,  and  fresh  in  their  memory  were  the  published 
purposes  of  the  coming  Governor,  who,  in  a  letter  dated  twenty-first  of 
second  month,  1682,  addressed  to  them,  says  : 

"  This  I  send  to  assure  you  of  my  love  and  desire  you  to  love  my  friends ;  and  when  the 
great  God  brings  me  among  you,  I  intend  to  order  all  things  in  such  a  manner  that  we  may  live 
in  peace,  one  with  another,  which  I  hope  the  great  God  will  incline  both  me  and  you  to  do.  I 
have  already  taken  care  that  none  of  my  people  wrong  you ;  by  good  laws  I  have  provided  for 
that  purpose,"  etc. 

He  also  had  written  to  a  great  Sachem  a  letter  dated  second  month 
2 1  st,  1682,  in  which  he  thus  addresses  him  : 

"The  great  God  that  made  thee  and  me  and  all  the  world  inclines  our  hearts  to  love 
peace  and  justice,  that  we  may  live  friendly  together  as  becomes  the  workmanship  of  the  great 
God.  This  will  I  say,  that  the  people  who  come  with  me  are  a  just,  plain,  and  honest  people, 
that  neither  make  war  upon  others  nor  fear  war  from  others,  because  they  will  be  just. 

The  Indian  was  their  friend  and  joined  in  offering  the  best  entertain- 
ment that  could  be  offered  to  Penn  and  his  friends  when  they  came  over  at 
a  little  later  date  than  the  arrival  of  our  people. 

The  grant  of  lands  from  Penn  to  John  Sharpies  consisted  of  one 
thousand  acres.  Part  of  this  was  in  Middletown  and  part  in  Nether 
Providence.  The  railroad  at  Wallingford  passes  through  one  of  these 
tracts. 

Of  the  two  hundred  and  forty  acres  here  at  Waterville  the  heirs  of 
John  M.  and  those  of  Daniel  Sharpless  are  possessed  of  parts,  George 
Sharpless  also  a  part.  Others-of  another  name  share  in  the  possession  of 
the  tract. 

That  at  Middletown  is  mostly  owned  by  the  sons  of  Jared  Darlington, 
who  belong  to  the  Sharpless  family.  This  was  the  western  woods,  which 
was  assigned  to  Joseph,  the  youngest  brother,  originally. 

John,  the  father,  died  1  ith  of  fourth  month,  1685,  at  about  the  age  of 
sixty-one  years,  his  daughters  Jane  and  Phebe  in  the  same  year,  and  his 
son  Caleb  in  the  next. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  2g 

Our  immediate  progenitors,  although  not  rich  in  the  fullest  sense  of 

rldly  treasure,  had  treasure  in  a  higher  sense  of  which  they  could  not 

be   despoiled.     A    blessing    rested    on    them,  their   offspring   have   been 

prospered,  and  it  is  not  an  uncommon  remark  that  they  compare  favorably 

with  the  masses  for  sobriety  and  good  citizenship. 

Our  first  ancestor  had  but  a  short  tenure  here.  But  as  he  had  lived 
so  as  to  deserve  a  good  name,  we  trust  that  he  realized  in  full  the  proverb: 
"  A  good  name  is  better  than  precious  ointment,  and  the  day  of  death 
better  than  the  day  of  one's  birth." 

His  consort  died  at  the  age  of  eighty-five  years  and  three  months, 
her  zeal  for  her  religious  profession  having  been  manifested  in  her  old 
age  by  her  walking  to  meeting  and  back,  a  distance  of  more  than  two 
miles,  when  she  was  eighty  years  of  age,  and  her  health  and  vigor  are 
testified  to  by  the  fact  that  it  was  of  preference  she  performed  the  journey 
on  foot. 

John,  James,  and  Joseph  were  left,  and  from  these  the  whole  of  this 
family  have  descended. 

In  the  year  1736,  Joseph  removed  to  lands  purchased  by  his  son 
Benjamin  of  his  uncle  Samuel  Lewis,  who  had  obtained  the  patent. 

These  lands  consisted  of  three  hundred  and  eighty-seven  acres  in 
West  Cain  Township.  Joseph  purchased  of  his  son  these  lands,  at  the 
same  time  selling  or  exchanging  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres  of  land  in 
Middletown  to  Benjamin.  As  by  the  records  in  the  office  at  West 
Chester,  the  dates  of  the  deeds  are  shown  to  be  alike,  June  24,  1736. 

Of  this  land,  on  the  27th  of  January,  1743,  the  records  show  a 
transfer  of  one-half  of  the  whole  to  John  Taylor  by  Joseph.  And  at  the 
same  time  a  removal  to  Middletown  by  him,  where  he  still  held  lands. 

The  lands  spoken  of  in  West  Cain  are  described  by  survey  of  record 
as  by  lines  of  lands  of  Evan  Lewis,  Richard  Tranter,  and  Nathan 
Sharpies.  This  was  probably  a  son  of  Joseph,  and  these  then 
"western  lands"  were  fields  of  speculation,  no  doubt,  as  those  beyond 
the  Mississippi  now,  in  their  relation  to  the  rest. 

We  can  say  little  of  the  history  of  the  descendants  of  the  three 
brothers.  They  are  great  in  number  and  found  in  every  profession,  every 
trade  and  business.  As  well  might  we  attempt  to  describe  a  mighty  oak 
of  the  forest  with  no  limb  or  leaf  like  another,  as  to  portray  even  the 
leading  features  of  such  diversity.  So  far  have  the  branches  of  our  family- 
tree  extended  that  it  needed  some  such  an  event  as  this  to  bring  them  to 
a  mutual  knowledge  of  their  many  relatives.     Yesterday  but  few  of  those 


30  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

born  on  Pennsylvania  soil  knew  of  their  many  brethren  in  the  south, 
children  of  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John  3d,  of  whom  we  have  a  worthy 
representative  with  us — Bishop  Green.  There  comes  from  Iowa  the  voice 
of  man)-,  where  but  few  were  known  to  us. 

This  occasion  has  offered  social  privileges,  and  we  hope  good  has  been 
gained  by  us  all.  That  an  examination  of  ourselves  in  view  of  the  faith- 
fulness to  sacred  principle  brought  to  notice  afresh  in  the  recital  of  the 
history  of  those  who  gave  us  name,  has  raised  the  query  as  to  the  courage 
and  fortitude  of  ourselves,  and  incited  to  resolve  that  we  will  show 
ourselves  "  worthy  sons  of  worthy  sires"  in  the  contests  of  the  day,  on 
fields  where  Christian  warfare  summons  us  to  battle  against  the  cohorts  of 
evil.  Let  us  carry  to  the  world  in  such  encounters,  by  our  living  examples, 
emblazoned  by  act  and  deed,  our  valued  and  inspiring  lesson  learned  of 
our  earliest  fathers  and  engraven  on  our  hearts,  to  be  by  our  voice  pro- 
claimed to  others  for  their  emulation,  the  inscription  of  that  heraldic 
device  : 

u  Pro  veritate  Suffer  Fortiter." 

J.  Clemson  Sharpless,  of  West  Chester,  then  read  the  following  poem, 
composed  for  the  occasion : 

THE    FAMILY    REUNION. 

BY  JOHN   CLEMSON   SHARPLESS. 

Dear  friends,  we  have  met  on  this  bright  summer  day, 
A  tribute  of  love  to  our  fathers  to  pay, 
And  as  we  have  gathered  from  far  and  from  near, 
I  trust  each  will  feel  'tis  good  to  be  here. 

Like  pilgrims  we  come  and  gather  around 
The  home  of  our  fathers,  to  us  hallowed  ground. 
For  this  spot  is  our  Mecca ;  this  Rock  is  the  shrine  ; 
The  altar  on  which  to  lay  gifts,  yours  and  mine. 

Let  our  gifts  be  the  symbols  of  honor  to  those 

Who  first  'neath  these  shades  sought  peace  and  repose, 

Who  suffered  with  bravery  the  truth  to  uphold ; 

To  whom  freedom  of  conscience  was  better  than  gold. 

When  the  heart  of  George  Fox  was  touched  as  with  fire, 
He  hastened  to  prelate  and  priest  to  inquire 
The  way  of  salvation  ;  but  nought  could  he  find 
That  brought  rest  to  his  soul,  or  gave  peace  to  his  mind. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Then  his  spirit,  enshrouded  in  shadows  of  night. 
Was  quickly  illumined  by  the  true  Inward  Light, 
When  lie  clearly  discerned  he  must  closely  abide 
With  the  Spirit  of  Truth  hence  his  teacher  and  guide. 

Then  gathered  about  him  such  truth-seeking  men 
A^  Kllwood  and  Pennington,  Barclay  and  Perm. 
They  founded  a  sect,  and  we  freely  must  own 
We  are  reaping  rich  fruit  from  the  seed  the)-  have  sown. 

The  hand  of  oppression  soon  on  them  was  laid, 
But  from  duty  none  shrank ;  not  one  heart  was  afraid. 
They  were  true  to  their  faith ;  with  united  accord 
Their  trust  was  reposed  in  the  arm  of  the  Lord. 

'Twas  a  trust  ne'er  betrayed,  for  His  arm  was  their  sta) . 
His  finger  it  was  that  oft  pointed  the  way, 
His  voice  that  gave  comfort ;  they  knew  it  was  He 
Whose  voice  stilled  the  waves  of  the  wild  Gallilee. 

That  our  ancestor  found  with  these  worthies  a  place, 
Let  us  join  in  our  thanks  everyone  of  his  race ; 
We  own  it  to  this,  tho'  deny  it  you  may, 
That  we've  homes  in  this  land  full  of  blessings  to-day. 

In  this  land  o'er  the  sea,  Penn  was  founding  a  State, 
An  asylum  for  all,  both  the  poor  and  the  great, 
Under  laws  wisely  framed  they  could  worship  at  will, 
With  their  conscience  unfettered  its  dictates  fulfill. 

Two  centuries  have  seen  its  prosperity  grow, 
And  millions  to-day  own  the  debt  that  they  owe 
To  Him,  its  great  founder,  whose  wisdom  has  planned 
The  best  of  all  governments  known  in  our  land. 

When  the  monarch-like  oak  stood  fast  rooted  here, 
And  this  stream  slaked  the  thirst  of  the  fleet-footed  deer, 
When  the  fox  from  his  lair,  and  the  wolf  from  his  den, 
Stole  forth  in  the  shadows  to  prowl  through  this  glen  ; 

'Twas  then  that  our  ancestor  came  to  this  spot, 
By  the  side  of  yon  rock  he  erected  his  cot, 
Though  rude  it  might  seem  in  the  sight  of  those  here, 
It  gave  shelter  and  comfort  to  all  he  held  dear. 

'Twas  here  with  contentment  and  peace  he  was  blessed, 
'Twas  here  that  he  toiled,  and  here  he  found  rest, 
While  the  stars  o'er  his  head  did  loving  watch  keep, 
This  murmuring  stream  sweetly  lulled  him  to  sleep. 


■31

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Here  he  lived,  here  he  died,  and  they  bore  him  away, 
Not  like  Jacob  of  old,  with  his  fathers  to  lay. 
We  know  not  the  spot,  but  the  dews  kiss  the  sod, 
And  his  spirit,  we  trust,  is  at  rest  with  his  God. 

The  dear,  aged  mother  in  sorrow  bereft, 
Now  leaned  on  her  sons,  they  were  all  she  had  left. 
Five  of  her  loved  ones  had  passed  to  that  shore 
Where  life's  waves  break  in  silence,  returning  no  more. 

By  her  pious  care  nurtured  to  manhood  they  grew, 
They  were  men  strong  in  purpose,  to  principle  true. 
Rude  Nature  transformed  by  their  skill  and  their  toil, 
Rewarded  their  care  with  the  fruits  of  her  soil. 

The  youngest  of  all,  the  infant  who  came, 

Has  builded  a  monument,  thoughtless  of  fame, 

A  venerable  pile,  on  yon  hill-top  it  stands, 

We  may  gaze  with  just  pride  on  the  work  of  his  hands. 

And  we,  their  descendants,  who  hither  have  come 

And  joined  this  reunion  around  their  old  home  ; 

May  our  hearts  warm  with  love,  as  with  hand  clasped  in  hand 

We  greet  kindred  and  friends  from  throughout  this  broad  land. 

'What  though,  down  through  the  mist  of  the  years  that  have  rolled, 
There  comes  to  us  glittering  with  silver  and  gold, 
The  shield  and  the  crest  of  a  warrior  who  bore 
Our  name  deeply  traced  on  the  sword  that  he  wore. 

Of  his  deeds  or  his  valor,  we  nothing  have  known; 
They  have  sunk  'neath  the  tide  that  resistless  sweeps  on; 
They  belong  to  the  past,  they  were  prized  in  their  day, 
Let  us  choose  for  ourselves  something  better  than  they. 

Let  us  take  a  step  forward,  and  mark  on  our  shield 
The  Symbol  of  Faith  to  the  Christian  revealed, 
In  place  of  the  sword,  that  its  power  may  decrease, 
For  our  crest  we'll  have  only  the  emblem  of  Peace. 

Let  us  strive  as  our  fathers  before  us  have  striven, 
To  win  and  to  merit  the  favor  of  Heaven, 
To  be  true  to  our  faith.     May  we  never  neglect 
To  cherish  the  good  and  the  evil  reject. 

Let  us  learn  well  the  lessons  their  living  has  taught, 

Let  us  thank  the  dear  Lord  for  the  good  they  have  wrought, 

Let  us  cherish  the  virtues  their  memory  inspires, 

That  the  world  may  declare  we  are  worthy  our  sires. 


THE  SHARP  LESS  FAAf/LY.  33 

William  M.  Green,  the  veteran  Episcopal  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  of 
Mississippi,  aged  84  years,  was  next  presented.  The  venerable  gentleman 
addressed  the  audience  as  follows: 

My  Dear- Friends:  I  did  not  come  all  the  way  from  the  South  to 
make  a  speech.  I  come  as  a  descendant  of  John  Sharpies  1st,  2d  and  3d, 
and  then  as  the  grandson  of  Elizabeth  Sharpies,  who  married  Richard 
Bradley  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  fifth  month,  1755,  from  whom  lam 
descended,  and  who  moved  from  this  spot  to  Wilmington,  N.  C,  and  resided 
there  until  their  death.  They  had  seven  children,  two  of  whom  died  young; 
five  lived,  becoming  the  heads  of  some  of  the  leading  and  most  distinguished 
and  influential  families  of  the  State  of  North  Carolina.  My  mother  was 
the  youngest  of  the  five,  and  I  am  the  eldest  of  her  children,  and  the  only 
one  living  on  one  side,  and  I  have  brought  the  marriage  certificate  of 
Richard  Bradley  and  Elizabeth  Sharpies  with  me. 

Most  of  the  family  united  with  the  Episcopal  Church,  and  I  have  the 
honor  to  be  a  minister.  I  have  long  desired  to  see  this  spot;  for  sixty 
years,  since  my  boyhood,  I  have  longed  to  see  this  and  now  I  see  it,  and  I 
rejoice  to  see  so  many  in  whose  blood  that  of  old  John  Sharpies  flows.  I 
will  say  no  more  as  my  heart  is  too  full  to  say  anything  except  that  I  am 
happy  to  meet  you  all.  May  God  bless  you  and  make  you  all  worthy  of 
the  name  of  John  Sharpies. 

William  Sharpless,  Sr.,  of  West  Chester,  here  read  a  poem,  composed 
by  him  for  the  occasion,  entitled  "Lines  written  on  the  arrival  of  John 
Sharpies  and  family  in  Pennsylvania  on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  sixth 
month  (August),  O.  S.  1682." 

In  this  production  the  author  alluded  to  the  coming  to  America  of  John 
Sharpies  and  family,  of  their  rude  home  at  the  Rock,  their  privations, 
energies,  trials  and  success. 

Some  very  interesting  reminiscences  relating  to  the  place  of  the  rude 
abode  of  the  pioneer,  together  with  entertaining  mention  of  many  relics 
owned  by  various  members  of  the  family,  formed  a  paper  prepared  and  read 
by  Samuel  L.  Smedley.  This  paper  referred  to  many  of  the  curiosities 
which  we  have  briefly  described  elsewhere  and  was  one  of  the  most  inter- 
esting productions  forming  the  literary  programme  of  the  occasion. 


34  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

ADDRESS  OF  SAMUEL  L.  SMEDLEY. 

Twenty-five  years  ago,  while  on  a  visit  at  the  house  of  my  venerable 
friend  Enos  Sharpless,  he  showed  me  an  account  of  his  reminiscences  and 
observations  which  he  had  written  by  request  of  the  Delaware  County 
Institute  of  Science.  It  interested  me  so  much  at  the  time  that  I  took  a 
copy  of  a  portion  of  it  by  his  permission,  and  many  of  the  incidents  related 
are  so  appropriate  to  this  occasion  that  I  have  been  requested  to  read  it. 
It  is  as  follows  : 

"  Friends,  I  received  your  circular  on  the  subject  of  the  history  of  Delaware  County,  and 
now  proceed  to  reply  to  it.  As  I  now  live  on  the  same  place  my  ancestors  on  the  male  side 
have  lived  on  ever  since  William  Perm's  time,  where  I  have  lived  for  the  last  seventy-five  years, 
I  think  I  can  furnish  you  with  some  information  respecting  our  particular  location  that  may  be 
interesting  to  you ;  at  any  rate  it  will  afford  me  amusement  to  look  over  old  times  and  contrast 
them  with  the  present. 

"Beginning  with  the  family,  I  will  first  give  you  a  record  in  my  father,  Daniel  Sharpless' 
family  Bible,  to  wit : 

"  '  When  I  have  thought  of  preserving  some  short  notes  concerning  my  worthy  predecessors, 
as  also  of  my  times  for  my  own  satisfaction,  and  perhaps  for  information  of  succeeding  ages,  the 
observation  of  Solomon  hath  often  occurred :  '  One  generation  passeth  away  and  another 
cometh,  but  the  earth  abideth  forever.'  I  have  now  before  me  a  very  old  account  written  by  my 
grandfather,  John  Sharpies,  in  which,  after  shortly  noting  the  marriage  of  his  father  John 
Sharpies  and  his  mother,  whose  maiden  name  was  Moore,  in  1662,  his  own  birth  in  1666,  and 
the  birth  of  his  three  brothers,  Thomas,  James  and  Joseph,  and  his  two  sisters,  Phebe  and  Jane, 
he  proceedeth  thus  :  '  And  my  father  and  mother,  with  these  their  children,  left  old  England, 
their  native  country,  and  came  on  shore  in  Pennsylvania  the  fourteenth  day  of  sixth  month, 
1682,  all  but  my  brother  Thomas,  who  died  upon  the  sea.  John  Sharpies,  my  father,  died  in 
[685,  being  about  the  age  of  61  years,  and  my  brother  Caleb  in  1686.  Jane  Sharpies,  my 
mother,  died  in  the  year  1722,  being  about  84  years  of  age.  We  have  now  seen  the  desolation 
of  the  family,  except  three  brothers,  John,  James  and  Joseph,  and  from  these  have  sprung  the 
numerous  descendants  of  the  name  in  America. 

"  '  I  have  also  the  marriage  certificate  of  my  grandfather,  John  Sharpies,  and  Hannah 
Pennell,  daughter  of  Robert  Pennell  of  Middletown,  dated  1692.  Then  follows  an  account  of 
their  children,  ending  with  Daniel  Sharpies,  born  1711.' 

"The  last  mentioned  Daniel  Sharpies  was  my  grandfather.  My  grandmother,  Sarah 
Sharpies,  daughter  of  Bartholomew  Coppock,  was  born  in  the  year  171 2,  and  they  were  married 
in  1736. 

"  From  what  I  can  collect  of  the  above  named  couple  they  lived  in  the  same  house  with 
their  father,  John  Sharpies — who  was  about  sixteen  years  of  age  when  he  came  from  England — 
until  his  decease,  which  was  eleven  years  after  my  father  was  married,  and  as  my  grandmother 
lived  in  the  same  house  I  did  until  I  was  sixteen  years  of  age,  she  had  a  good  opportunity  of 
collecting  information  from  her  father-in-law  and  handing  it  down  to  us,  such  as  their  coming 
to  this  country,  settling  here,  etc.  etc.,  some  of  which  I  shall  proceed  to  relate.  Well  ! — they 
landed  at  Chester,  as  we  have  seen,  on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  sixth  month,  1682,  and  loaded 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  35 

upon  their  backs  such  things  as  they  could  carry,  and  set  off,  wending  their  way  up  through  the 
woods,  .md  got  this  far.  about  two  miles,  and  just  crossed  the  creek,  when  they  thought  they 
were  far  enough  back  in  the  forest.  Here  they  cut  down  a  large  tree,  and  made  themselves  a 
shelter  among  the  boughs  of  it,  and  remained  there  for  the  night,  and  they  could  hear  the  wolves 
howling  about  them. 

"  In  this  booth  they  lived  about  six  weeks  and  within  that  time  they  built  a  cabin,  with  a 
large  perpendicular  rock  for  a  chimney  back,  which  is  still  there,  having  the  date  1682,  as  well 
as  other  inscriptions,  cut  in  it. 

"There  they  lived  about  twenty  years,  until  they  built  a  good  substantial  stone  house  near 
by,  which  is  still  standing  and  occupied  by  my  brother  Isaac  and  family. 

"The  Rock  spoken  of  is  also  on  his  ground.  Many  anecdotes  I  have  heard  her  relate 
which  were  interesting  to  us,  though  not  much  to  the  historian ;  such  as  the  pigeons  being  so 
abundant  that  they  used  to  go  on  moonlight  nights  with  long  poles  and  knock  them  off  the 
roost  and  kill  as  many  in  that  way  as  they  wanted. 

"Another  circumstance  I  have  heard  my  grandmother  relate:  t\  young  girl,  a  daughter 
of  one  of  their  neighbors,  came  in  one  day  in  a  state  of  great  excitement  to  tell  what  a  pretty 
thing  she  had  been  in  chase  of.  She  said  it  was  the  prettiest  thing  she  had  ever  seen.  She 
thought  she  would  catch  it,  and  seized  hold  of  it,  but  it  slipped  through  her  hands  and  got  away 
into  the  briars,  '  and  see  here,'  she  exclaimed,  '  what  I  got  off  it,'  showing  the  rattles  of  a  rattle- 
snake which  she  had  stripped  off  with  her  hands,  and,  from  the  number  of  the  rattles,  it  must 
have  been  a  large  snake. 

"The  old  patriarch  being  comfortably  settled  in  his  cabin  alongside  of  the  Rock,  and 
having  obtained  a  warrant  while  in  England  from  William  Penn  for  one  thousand  acres  of  land, 
for  which  he  paid  him  twenty  pounds  and  agreed  to  pay  a  shilling  a  year  quit-rent  for  every  one 
hundred  acres  (a  low  price  for  those  times),  proceeded  to  take  up  the  land  in  three  different 
tracts  :  one  here,  one  in  Nether  Providence,  and  one  in  Middletown.  The  portion  of  it  taken 
up  here,  as  well  as  that  in  Middletown,  in  great  measure  remains  in  their  descendants'  possession 
to  this  time ;  the  one  in  Providence  has  all  gone  out  of  the  family. 

"The  tract  at  this  place  was  occupied  by  John  Sharpies,  the  eldest  brother;  that  in 
Nether  Providence  by  James,  the  next  brother ;  while  Joseph,  the  younger,  went  back  into  the 
woods,  to  that  in  Middletown,  where  I  shall  leave  the  two  last,  settled  on  their  respective  farms, 
and  take  some  further  notice  of  John  and  his  successors,  at  this  place. 

"  It  does  not  appear  that  our  ancestors  from  the  first  had  aspirings  after  great  things.  We 
do  not  find  the  names  of  any  of  them  among  William  Penn's  great  men,  either  as  legislative  or 
executive  officers.  Therefore  we  may  conclude  that  as  they  came  to  this  country  to  get  clear 
away  from  '  woeful  Europe,1  having  attained  that  end,  they  were  satisfied  to  settle  down  in  the 
quiet,  on  their  own  farms,  and  having  land  to  cultivate  it  afforded  them  sufficient  of  the  neces- 
saries of  life  and  they  were  therewith  content. 

"Thus  things  remained  with  very  little  exception  for  two  generations.  There  was  a 
saw-mill  built  on  the  creek,  either  by  my  great-grandfather  or  grandfather,  I  do  not  know  which, 
but  it  had  gone  down  before  my  time.  It  was  left  to  my  father  and  his  successors  to  develop 
the  advantages  of  the  water  power,  and  having  more  energy  and  enterprise  than  his  ancesi 
and  as  the  Hessian  fly  had  lately  destroyed  the  \\  heat  crop,  so  that  it  was  not  so  easy  for  the 
fanners  to  make  a  living  as  it  had  been,  he  came  to  the  conclusion  to  improve  the  water-power. 
Accordingly,  about  the  year  17X7,  he  built  a  saw-mill  which  was  the  nucleus  for  all  the  other 


36  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

improvements  on  the  creek,  and,  having  a  large  quantity  of  wood-land,  he  made  it  his  business 
to  cut  and  saw  the  timber ;  still  keeping  the  greater  part  of  the  farm  under  his  particular 
management  until  the  year  1793,  when  he  put  the  farm  generally  out  of  his  hands.  A  part  was 
let  out  on  shares,  and  a  part  rented  out,  and  in  this  year  he  built  the  house  where  I  now  live  and 
came  here  to  live  himself.  In  1796  he  built  the  grist-mill,  and  in  1798  the  fulling-mill  for  my 
brother  Isaac,  which  is  now  a  part  of  the  wool-factory,  thus  laying  the  foundation  of  the  present 
establishment  of  Waterville. 

"  After  I  arrived  at  mature  age,  I  rented  the  grist  and  saw-mill  of  him,  and  Isaac  occupied 
the  fulling-mill,  and  after  I  married  he  gave  up  the  home  to  me  and  built  the  one  that  my 
brother  Henry  lived  in  a  short  distance  to  the  northward,  and  went  there  to  live  himself.  At 
his  decease  he  left  the  mill  property  (except  the  fulling-mill)  to  me,  and,  as  I  had  rented  it  of 
him  about  fourteen  years,  I  was  prepared  with  a  knowledge  of  business  and  the  means  to  improve 
it  to  what  it  is  now.  Those  who  saw  the  property  as  I  did  when  my  father  began  improving  it 
in  1787  will  see  that  there  has  been  a  great  deal  of  work  done  in  it.  It  was  then  a  poor  old 
field  worn  out  by  long  tillage  and  neglect,  grown  up  with  briars,  bushes  and  large  trees.  It  is 
now  a  cluster  of  mills  with  six  overshot  water-wheels  (two  of  them  double)  manufacturing  grain, 
and  merchant  mill,  a  saw-mill,  three  wheels  manufacturing  dyewood  and  the  wool  factory,  all 
pushed  with  energy.  At  that  time  the  whole  of  my  father's  property  supported  but  two  or  three 
families,  now  my  part  of  it  supports  about  twenty-five  families  by  their  employment  here. 

"In  the  grist  mill  we  grind  about  fifteen  thousand  bushels  of  grain  a  year  ;  cut  two 
hundred  thousand  feet  of  lumber  with  the  saw-mill ;  manufacture  about  fifteen  hundred  tons  of 
wood  and  other  dye-stuffs  a  year,  in  the  dye-wood  mill,  beside  grinding  about  one  hundred  tons 
of  plaster ;  and  the  wool  factory  makes  about  one  hundred  and  twenty  or  one  hundred  and 
thirty  thousand  yards  of  stuff  a  year. 

"  Beside  the  mill  seat,  we  have  improved  the  land  considerably.  From  about  thirty  acres, 
when  I  plow,  I  raise  nearly  as  much  grain  and  keep  as  much  stock  as  my  father  ever  did  on  his 
large  farm ;  when  I  do  not  plow  I  sell  hay.  There  are  two  other  farms  cut  out  of  the  old 
plantation,  each  of  which  produces  twice  as  much,  and  thus  have  literally  turned  a  desolate 
wilderness  into  a  fruitful  field.  I  think  Solomon  says :  '  Say  not  within  thyself,  why  is  it  that 
the  former  times  were  better  than  these  ?  for  thou  dost  not  inquire  wisely.'  Whether  wisely  or 
not,  there  is  a  great  deal  of  such  inquiry  now,  and  I  think  there  was  as  much  of  it  when  I  was  a 
little  boy.  Old  people  used  to  lament  the  change.  They  would  say  that  when  they  were  young 
there  was  so  much  friendship  and  love  among  them,  neighbors  were  so  glad  to  see  each  other,  so 
willing  to  assist  and  befriend  each  other  in  any  service  they  could  render ;  and  they  were  all 
upon  an  equality,  and  what  was  the  interest  of  one  was  the  interest  of  all ;  but,  say  they,  it 
is  not  so  now,  we  have  become  selfish,  each  one  takes  care  of  himself,  without  any  regard  for 
others.  If  it  was  so  then  it  is  increasingly  so  now.  I  have  heard  my  father  say  he  never  sued 
nor  was  sued.  Contrast  that  with  the  trial  list  at  Media.  No  doubt  there  were  unhappy 
differences  between  neighbors  then,  but  they  could  be  settled  without  going  to  law,  or  without 
breach  of  friendship. 

"As  for  their  way  of  making  a  living,  they  were  industrious,  frugal  and  economical,  by 
which  means  they  had  the  necessaries  of  life,  and  their  desires  being  moderate,  they  had  them 
fulfilled  as  well  as  the  rich  and  luxurious  do  in  these  times  of  refinement.  And  to  go  back  no 
further  than  my  time,  the  rich  would  bring  up  their  families,  at  least  their  children,  at  less 
expense  than  the  poor  do  now,  and  the  people  were  stouter,  stronger  and  at  least  as  healthy  as 
they  are  now." 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  37 

This  is  all  of  Enos  Sharpless'  account  which  I  preserved.  It  continued, 
I  recollect,  to  give  his  observations  of  the  times  and  records  of  many 
incidents,  among  which  was  an  account  of  the  unprecedented  flood  of 
August  5,  1843,  when  this  valley  and  all  others  in  Delaware  County  were 
inundated,  houses  and  factories  swept  away  and  many  lives  lost. 

The  tide  flows  backwards  as  well  as  forwards.  The  railroads  and  the 
mighty  power  of  steam  outrun  the  meandering  stream  and  the  facilities 
which  they  offer  attract  enterprise  to  them.  The  many  factories  at 
Waterville  are  at  the  present  silent  except  the  old  grist-mill  ;  the  fiery 
element  has  recently  contributed  to  still  the  hum  of  the  loom  in  the  building 
near  by,  and,  as  if  to  bring  us  back  this  day  to  a  better  appreciation  of  the 
primitive  loveliness  of  the  place,  we  are  only  greeted  with  the  rippling  of  the 
waters  as  in  the  days  of  yore. 

As  chairman  of  the  committee  on  relics  I  have  been  requested  to 
furnish  some  historical  notes  and  an  account  of  the  mementoes  which  have 
been  preserved  of  the  early  settlement  of  our  forefathers  in  and  about 
this  place,  and  a  description  of  the  relics  which  the  hand  of  time  has 
spared  from  destruction  or  decay ;  which  have  been  brought  forward 
from  comparative  obscurity  in  order  that  we  may  all  gaze  upon  and 
admire  them  as  possessing  a  common  interest  which  we  can  all  share 
together. 

The  antiquarian  will  naturally  look  among  title  papers  engrossed  on 
enduring  parchment  for  the  most  ancient  evidences  of  settlement  in  this 
country,  because  the  value  of  such  documents  induces  a  greater  care  for 
their  preservation.  The  search  in  our  case  is  rewarded  by  the  production 
of  no  less  than  four  documents  bearing  the  autograph  and  seal  of  the 
illustrious  Penn,  the  founder  of  the  commonwealth. 

Two  of  these  bear  date  the  fourth  and  fifth  days  of  April,  A.  D.  1682, 
more  than  four  months  before  the  arrival  of  John  Sharpies  and  his  family 
at  Chester,  and  no  doubt  -were  brought  over  by  him  on  his  voyage  to 
America. 

They  are  called  deeds  of  Lease  and  Release,  and  are  of  the  form  of  all 
those  granted  by  William  Penn,  of  Worminghurst,  in  Sussex,  to  what  have 
been  termed  "  first  purchasers,"  giving  them  the  right  to  locate  the  number 
of  acres  granted  to  each  in  such  places  or  parts  of  the  province  as  they 
might  select.  The  first  of  these  deeds  is  now  the  property  of  John 
Sharpless,  our  presiding  officer,  and  the  other  belongs  to  Beulah  Sharpless 
and  her  children,  the  present  owners  of  the  land  whereon  we  are  now 
assembled. 


38  THE  SHARPI. ESS  FAMILY. 

They  granted  to  John  Sharpies  one  thousand  acres  of  land  in  the 
province  of  Pennsylvania,  for  which  he  paid  the  sum  of  twenty  pounds, 
and  agreed,  in  addition  thereto,  to  pay  yearly  to  the  Proprietary  the  chief 
or  quit-rent*  of  one  shilling  for  each  hundred  acres  thereof,  at  or  upon  the 
first  day  of  March,  for  ever,  in  lieu  or  stead  of  all  other  services  or 
demands  whatsoever;  prices  low  enough  to  satisfy  those  of  moderate 
means  and  calculated  to  stimulate  emigration  to  the  infant  colony. 

John  Sharpies  located  but  forty  acres  of  his  purchase  from  Penn  at 
this  place,  having  bought  two  hundred  acres,  including  this  spot,  from 
Thomas  Nossiter,  an  earlier  settler;  but  he  took  up  three  hundred  acres 
about  half  a  mile  northward  and  another  tract  of  three  hundred  acres  in 
Middletown  Township,  which  may  be  designated  as  in  the  vicinity  ot 
1  )arlington  Station,  on  the  West  Chester  railroad.  For  all  three  tracts 
patents  or  deeds  of  confirmation  were  taken  out  on  the  28th  and  29th  of 
fifth  month,  16S4.  C»ne  °f  these,  bearing  the  signature  of  William  Penn, 
with  the  great  wax  seal  attached,  is  here  exhibited.  It  belongs  to  Jesse 
Darlington,  of  Middletown,  a  descendant  of  Joseph  Sharpies,  who  settled 
on  the  land  in  that  township. 

These  three  tracts  are  shown  on  an  original  print  of  Thomas  Holme's 
map  of  Pennsylvania,  in  our  collection,  upon  which  the  names  of  the  first 
settlers  are  marked — the  ancestors  of  many  whose  names  have  been 
transmitted  to  their  successors  of  this  day,  and  are  as  familiar  to  us  as 
household  words. 

We  now  come  to  speak  of  domestic  souvenirs.  The  most  noteworthy 
of  these  is  the  solid  silver  tankard  now  before  you.  It  is  inscribed  )\]  the 
initials  of  John   and  Jane  Sharpies,  with  a  coat  of  arms  consisting  of  a 


*  Quit-rents  appeal  to  have  had  their  origin  in  the  feudal  system,  under  which  all  the  lands  were  supposed 
in  helung  tu  the  king,  and  those  who  occupied  them  were  allowed  to  do  so  in  consideration  ol  personal  services 
of  various  kinds,  but  chiefly  those  of  a  military  character.  These  services  were  not  always  rendered  immediately 
to  the  king,  but  often  to  an  intermediate  class,  as  the  barons,  who  in  turn  were  tenants  under  the  king.  From  this 
arose  the  custom  of  paying  a  fee  or  fine  in  lieu  of  personal  service,  and  by  a  quit-rent  it  is  to  be  understood  thai 
the  tenant  goes  quit  or  free  of  further  service.  In  the  course  of  time  this  institution,  like  many  others,  lost  much 
11I  lis  original  significance  and  at  the  time  William  Penn  sold  lands  in  his  province  quit-rents  were  probably 
regarded  merely  as  a  judicious  method  forsecuring  a  revenue.      lie  says,  in  his  pro|>osals  to  the  early  purchasers  ■ 

"The  shares  I  sell  be  certain  as  to  the  number  of  acres;  that  is  to  say,  everyone  shall  contain  five 
thousand  acres ;  the  price  one  hundred  pounds ;  and  for  the  quit-rent,  one  English  shilling,  or  the  value  of  it, 
yearly,  for  a  hundred  acres;  which,  such  as  will,  may  now,  or  hereafter,  buy  off  to  an  inconsiderable  matter;  but 
as  I  hold  by  a  small  rent  of  the  king,  so  all  must  hold  of  me  by  a  small  rent  for  their  own  security,"  etc. 

Purchasers  of  large  amounts  of  land  frequently  obtained  them  at  a  merely  nominal  quit-rent,  and  in  some 
patents  it  is  specified  that  this  rent  should  be  paid  in  "good  merchantable  wheat."  The  payment  of  quit-rents 
nas  generally  considered  a  grievance,  was  much  neglected,  and  sometimes  done  only  under  compulsion  of  the 
law.  They  were  generally  abolished  at  the  Revolution  when  the  State  assumed  to  pay  the  Penn  family  for  their 
loss  iii  this  respect

shield  with  three  stags.  It  weighs  twenty-four  troy  ounces  and  holds  three 
pints.  It  was,  no  doubt,  brought  over  by  John  Sharpies  and  inherited  by 
his  son  Jdhn,  who  devised  it  in  1737  to  his  son  of  the  same  name,  after 
whose  death  it  became  the  property  of  his  brother  Daniel.  The  latter 
devised  it  to  his  son  Daniel,  from  whom  it  passed  to  his  son  John,  father  of 
John  Sharpless,  the  present  owner. 

Customs  have  changed,  and  the  passing  around  of  a  tankard  filled 
with  ale  for  each  one  to  partake  of,  as  our  forefathers  did,  would  seem 
quite  curious  to  many  of  us  at  this  day,  but  its  manufacture  was  then  of  so 
much  importance  that  the  Proprietary  established  several  brew-houses  for 
the  brewing  of  ale  in  the  province.  It  is  well,  however,  to  remember  that 
intemperance  was  strongly  condemned  by  the  early  Friends,  and  we  are 
fortunate  in  having  here  one  of  their  primitive  records  in  antique  binding, 
wherein,  as  early  as  1688,  the  members  of  Chester  monthly  meeting  have 
signed  with  their  own  hands  a  mutual  agreement  not  to  sell  rum  or  other 
strong  drink  to  the  Indians.     John  Sharpies  2d  is  one  of  the  signers. 

A  silver  cup,  the  property  of  Josiah  Hibberd,  of  Whiteland,  formerly 
of  his  great-grandmother,  Phebe  (Sharpies)  Hibberd,  is  exhibited,  and  a 
Spanish  coin,  bearing  date  1676,  which  was  presented  to  Samuel  Hannum, 
of  West  Chester,  by  his  grandmother,  as  being  the  first  money  earned  by 
her  grandmother,  Susanna  Chamberlin,  daughter  of  Joseph  Sharpies,  the 
youngest  son  of  the  immigrant.  A  silver  knife,  a  silver  spoon,  wooden 
spoons,  boxes  and  chairs  are  also  in  the  cabinet  of  curiosities. 

We  have  the  Sharpies  (Record,  published  in  181 6,  by  Joseph 
Sharpies,  of  Philadelphia,  who,  in  advance  of  others  in  this  country,  with 
two  or  three  exceptions,  supplied  a  treasure  to  the  genealogist  rarely  met 
with.  Copies  of  it  are  highly  prized  by  descendants  and  eagerly  sought 
for  by  others. 

John  Sharpies  2d,  by  will,  in  1737,  bequeathed  to  his  son  Daniel  two 
hundred  and  fifty-eight  acres  of  land  with  cattle,  horses,  sheep,  hogs,  plows 
and  harrows;  also  the  clock  and  the  pewter  and  the  new  big  brass  cetielland 
the  Bible  and  the  best  feather  bed.  Where  now  is  that  clock  and  where 
the  ancient  Bible?  can  anyone  answer?  We  have  one  ancient  Bible, 
however,  which  belonged  to  the  Joseph  Sharpies  branch.  It  descended  to 
Joseph  W.  Jones,  of  Middletown,  through  his  great-grandmother  Hannah, 
the  daughter  of  Joseph  Sharpies  2d  and  wife  of  Abraham  Pennell. 

Its  family  record  is  highly  interesting.  It  contains  the  date  and  place 
of  birth  of  each  one  of  the  children  of  John  and  Jane  Sharpies,  as  well  as 
of  the  children  of  their  son  Joseph,  and  other  entries.     The  Bible  bears  the

imprint,  London,  1697,  an<^  tne  inscription,  "  Lydia  Lewis,  her  Book,  1703," 
shows  it  to  have  been  her  property  before  her  marriage,  in  1704,  to  Joseph 
Sharpies. 

The  most  imposing  relic  of  Sharpies  handicraft  is  the  grand  old  man- 
sion on  the  hill,  the  carpenter  work  of  which  was  done  by  the  youngest  son, 
Joseph,  about  the  year  1700.  It  was  probably  his  first  work  after  learning 
his  trade  and  must  have  been  a  great  undertaking  for  that  time.  The 
curious  old  cupboards  and  closets,  the  floor  secured  to  the  joists  by  wooden 
pins,  all  excite  our  admiration. 

But  we  have  a  relic  beside  us  which  has  withstood  the  elements  for 
ages,  and  undisturbed  by  man  may  remain  for  centuries  to  come.  John 
Sharpies,  by  the  selection  made  two  hundred  years  ago,  has  consecrated 
this  Rock  to  the  veneration  of  his  descendants,  as  the  Plymouth  Rock  is  to 
the  descendants  of  the  New  England  pioneers.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  we 
all  with  one  accord  shall  resolve  that  we  will  unite  for  its  protection  from 
the  ravages  of  time  and  the  ruthless  advance  of  human  destroyers,  so  that 
it  shall  be  preserved  for  centuries  to  come  as  the  place  of  reunion. 

Under  its  shelter  the  pioneer  lived  and  died  and  two  of  his  daughters 
died  also,  all  within  two  weeks  of  each  other.  His  son  Caleb  died  a  year 
later  from  the  bite  of  a  snake,  but  for  thirty-five  years  afterwards  no  break 
appeared  in  the  ranks  until  their  venerable  mother,  Jane  Sharpies,  passed 
away  in  1722,  at  the  advanced  age  of  eighty-four  years,  forty  of  which  she 
had  spent  on  this  charming  spot. 

How  welcome  to  this  assemblage  would  have  been  the  reminiscences 
of  the  older  members  of  the  family,  if  they  had  been  written  out  and 
preserved.  How  little  dear  old  Enos  thought  of  the  interest  which  would 
soon  be  attached  to  every  word  which  he  wrote,  and  how  little  we  think  that 
in  a  few  fleeting  years  the  recital  of  what  we  now  behold  will  become  as  a 
tale  of  the  olden  time. 


Here  the  President  of  the  meeting,  John  Sharpless,  read  a  couple  of 
ancient  letters  relating  to  the  family  and  also  made  a  few  remarks  appro- 
priate to  the  closing  of  the  day's  observances,  which  were  listened  to  with 
much  interest.  He  specially  referred  to  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  family, 
saying  that  according  to  tradition  it  had  been  buried  after  the  arrival  of  the 
family  in  this  country,  and  he  earnestly  expressed  the  wish  that  this  heraldic 
sign  might  have  been   permitted   to  lie  buried,  as  he  regarded  it  of  more

♦John  Wright,  with  Patience,  his  wife  and  four  children,  brought  a  certificate  of  membership  from  the 
Monthly  Meeting  at  Hartshaw,  in  Lancashire,  dated  the  16th  of  the  1st  month,  1713-14,  in  which  it  is  said : 
"  I  lie  Church  here  will  gTeatly  miss  them  on  diverse  accounts,  he  having  proved  himself  in  some  eminent  services 
and  engagements  on  Truth's  behalf  a  workman  that  need  not  be  ashamed."  After  a  short  stay  in  Philadelphia 
the  family  came  to  Chester,  towards  the  close  of  the  year  1 7 14,  and  in  1717  he  was  commissioned  a  Justice  of  the 
Common  Pleas,  a  position  he  held  for  several  years,  being  also  elected  at  different  times  to  the  Provincial  Assem- 
bly. About  the  year  1 726  he  removed  to  the  banks  of  the  Susquehanna  and  upon  the  organization  of  Lancaster 
County,  in  1729,  he  became  the  presiding  justice  of  its  courts  and  so  continued  till  1741.  His  last  charge  to  the 
grand  jury  was  a  remarkable  document  and  has  been  printed.  He  died  in  1751,  at  the  age  of  84  years,  highly 
esteemed  as  a  citizen  and  as  a  minister  in  the  Society  of  friends.

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


'John  Sharpies  to  Daniel  Moore* 

Loving  Couson,  Danel  Moore:  being  in  hopes  this  may  be  an  opportunity  to  lett  thee  here 
from  me  I  am  willing  to  wright  this  few  Lines  that  thee  may  understand  how  it  is  with  us.  I 
rcceved  thy  letter  of  the  hand  of  John  wright,  thy  ould  friend,  and  allso  was  glad  to  heare  from 
you.  1  likewise  writ  and  gave  thee  an  acount  how  it  was  with  us  upwards  of  2  years  agoe, 
which  I  hope  thee  heast  receved,  and  now  not  haveing  much  new  mater  to  write  but  let  thee 
heare  of  our  wellfare.  I,  my  wife,  and  nine  Children  are  in  health  at  this  present,  which  I 
prise  as  a  great  mearcy,  and  am  thankful!  to  the  Lord  for;  and  my  mother  is  in  health  and  lives 
with  me  as  she  [yoused  to  doe — erased]  hath  done  of  lat  years  and  is  very  hearty,  and  can  go 
in  the  meeting  on  hir  feet,  which  is  better  then  two  miles,  and  she  makes  chice  soe  to  doe 
rather  then  to  ride,  for  which  I  can  but  take  notes  of,  considering  that  she  is  in  the  fourthscore 
year  of  hir  age ;  and  hir  kind  love  is  to  thee  and  thy  wife  and  Children  and  also  to  hir 
sister  thy  mother,  and  my  tow  brothers,  James  and  Joseph,  and  there  wifes  and  Children  are 
in  health  and  there  Love  is  to  thee,  my  Eldst  doughter  is  married  this  last  Spring,  and  hir  hus- 
band's name  is  george  Smedly,  and  I  beleve  hee  is  a  onest,  sober,  well  inclined  yong  man,  and  the 
lives  about  five  miles  from  me,  and  I  hope  the  are  like  to  doe  well ;  and  in  deed  wee  all  live  well, 
for  wee  have  had  peas  and  plenty  for  the  most  part,  ever  since  wee  came,  which  is  upwards  of 
thirty-five  years,  and  yett  is  continued ;  for  which  I  prais  the  Lord,  and  am  thankfull  for,  and  I 
desire  we  and  you  may  ever  walke  with  the  fear  of  the  Lord  before  our  ies,  for  the  same,  and 
not  give  him  caus  to  draw  his  mearcy  from  us  nether  Sprituall  nor  tempurall. 

And  our  Cousen  John  moor  and  his  wife,  and  all  his  Children  are  all  liveing,  and  in 
health,  and  he  follow  his  trad  of  weaveing,  and  is  like  to  doe  well,  and  his  son  thomas,  and  tow 
of  his  daughters  are  marryed,  Elizebeth  and  margret. 

The  Honorable  John  M.  Broomall,  of  Media,  being  present,  arose  and 
said :  "  I  am  requested  by  some  of  the  descendants  of  John  Sharpies  who 
are  present  to  tender  to  the  committee  of  arrangements  their  sincere 
thanks  for  the  entertainment,  and  to  express  their  satisfaction  at  being  at 
the  meeting  and  at  its  result,  and  with  the  hope  that  this  celebration  may 
be  repeated  from  century  to  century  and  that  somebody  at  least  will  be 
present  to  preside  and  to  take  care  of  its  proceedings.  It  seems  to  me 
that  if  John  Sharpies  had  had  any  idea  of  this  anniversary  he  could  not 
have  selected  a  better  site  than  this  or  that  the  weather  could  have  been 
more  propitious.  Although  I  am  not  one  of  the  descendants  of  John 
Sharpies,  I  have  a  great  many  warm  friends  amongst  them,  one  of  whom 
is  your  chairman  himself.  I  therefore  move  that  a  vote  of  thanks  be  given 
to  the  committee  of  arrangements." 

Which  motion,  being  seconded  and  put  to  vote,  was  carried 
unanimously. 

*  This  letter,  without  date  or  signature,  was  written  on  a  blank  page  of  that  which  precedes  it,  and  was 
doubtless  the  essay  of  one  which  was  sent  to  England.  From  the  facts  mentioned  it  must  have  been  written 
toward  the  close  of  the  year  1717. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


43 


On  motion  it  was  decided  that  a  committee  of  five  be  selected  to 
prepare  the  proceedings  of  the  day  for  publication  and  make  the 
necessary  arrangements  for  placing  them  in  book-form. 

This  closed  the  exercises  of  the  day.  The  sun,  mellow  and  warm, 
was  fast  journeying  towards  the  western  horizon,  and  homeward  the 
impulses  of  the  throng  took  their  way.  Good-byes  were  said,  fond  ones, 
too  ;  many  earnest  wishes  were  exchanged  ;  grasps  of  the  hand  helped 
hearts  to  say  '•farewell; "  and  soon  the  grove,  the  sward,  the  rocks  and  the 
banks  of  the  Hashing  stream  were  left  to  themselves,  and  the  Bi-Centennial 
Reunion  of  the  Sharpless  family  of  the  United  States  had  added  itself  to 
that  family's  history. 

This  was  probably  the  largest  and  most  successful  family  reunion  held 
in  this  country.  The  number  in  attendance  was  by  some  estimated  at 
three  thousand,  but  by  a  reasonably  accurate  computation  it  appeared  to 
be  from  fifteen  to  eighteen  hundred. 


o 


LIST  OF  RELICS  AND  OBJECTS  OF  INTEREST. 

About  fifty  yards  from  and  facing  Ridley  Creek  stands  the  traditional 
"Sharpies  Rock,"  the  rock  against  which  John  Sharpies  built  his  cabin  in 
1682,  and  in  which  the  family  lived  for  eighteen  or  twenty  years.  Near 
the  top  of  the  rock  is  carved  the  inscription  "J.  S.  1682,"  which  was 
doubtless  originally  done  by  the  pioneer  John  Sharpies  with  a  pointed  iron, 
but  which  has  evidently  been  recut  several  times  since. 

The  first  house  of  the  Sharpies  family  in  America,  built  by  Joseph 
Sharpies,  son  of  the  pioneer,  is  a  two-story  stone  structure  with  small 
dormer  windows  in  the  roof.  On  the  first  floor  are  two  rooms  and  a 
kitchen  ;  on  the  second  floor  two  bed-chambers,  and  one  room  in  the  attic. 
The  walls  are  heavy  and  well  built  and  look  as  though  they  might  stand 
for  two  more  centuries.  The  floors  are  of  solid  oak,  fastened  down  by 
wooden  pins.  The  carpenter  work  throughout  the  building,  which  is  said 
to  have  all  been  done  by  Joseph  Sharpies  himself,  is  equal  in  many  respects 
to  the  carpenter  work  of  to-day.  The  panel  work  in  the  doors  and 
cupboards  throughout  the  house  show  that  he  was  a  mechanic  of  more 
than  ordinary  ability.  In  one  of  the  rooms  on  the  first  floor  was  hanging 
in  a  frame  the  original  deed  from  William  Penn  to  John  Sharpies,  dated 
the  fifth  day  of  April,  1682.  In  the  same  room  were  several  large  chairs, 
which  some  suppose  were  brought  from  England  two  hundred  years  ago 
by  members  of  the  family.  The  chairs  are  put  together  with  wooden  pins. 
In  the  garret  were   several  chests,  trunks,  bedstead  and    spinning-wheel 


44  THE  SHAJiPLESS  FAMILY. 

belonging  to  different  members  of  the  family,  all  of  which  are  upwards  of 
one  hundred  years  old.  In  each  room  of  the  old  house  different  articles 
oi  furniture  were  exhibited  which  were  owned  by  the  old  Sharpies  family. 

In  the  old  house  are  also  exhibited  two  linen  bed  sheets,  which  were 
made  by  Isaac  and  Mary  Thomas  from  flax  grown,  spun  and  woven  on 
their  farm  in  Willistown,  and  given  to  their  daughter  Hannah  in  1775, 
when  she  was  married  to  Daniel  Sharpies.  The  sheets  are  very  fine  and 
apparently  in  as  good  condition  as  when  made. 

A  looking-glass,  purchased  in  1804,  hangs  upon  the  wall. 

Among  the  many  articles  offered  for  sale,  and  which  found  hundreds 
of  purchasers,  was  the  fac  simile  of  the  original  lease  from  William  Penn 
to  John  Sharpies,  on  the  4th  of  April,  1682.  Photographic  view  of  the 
first  house  of  the  Sharpies  family  in  America.  View  of  the  rock  against 
which  John  Sharpies  erected  his  first  hut  and  in  which  the  family  lived  for 
eighteen  years.  Pictures  of  the  silver  mug  which  belonged  to  John 
Sharpies  in  1682.  The  medal  of  the  bicentennial  reunion  of  the  Sharpless 
family,  August  24,  1882. 

Among  the  many  old  documents,  ancient  furniture,  ware  and  souvenirs 
of  the  Sharpies  family  which  were  exhibited  in  the  grove,  were  the 
following:  A  map  of  the  original  farms  purchased  of  William  Penn,  in 
Middletown  township,  including  three  hundred  acres  purchased  by  the 
first  John  Sharpies  in  1684,  and  where  his  son  Joseph  settled  in  17 12; 
afterwards  divided  between  the  three  grandsons,  Joseph,  Samuel  and 
Benjamin.  This  map  was  presented  to  S.  L.  Smedley,  January  2,  1880,  by 
B.  H.  Smith. 

Original  Record  Book  of  Chester  Monthly  Meeting  of  Friends,  in

A  "bull's  eye"  silver  watch,  owned  by  Chalkley  Smedley,  of  Uwchlan,

"  John  Sharpies  immigrated  from  England  with  his  wife  (Jane)  and  seven  children  in  1682. 
All  departed  this  life  when  young  except  three  sons,  John,  James  and  Joseph  Sharpies.  Jacob, 
the  son  of  Joseph,  whose  wife  (Ann  Sharpless)  spun  the  yarn  for  this  coverlet  when  their  oldest 
child  wxs  an  infant,  born  in  1749.  She  rocked  him  in  a  basket,  tied  up  to  the  joist,  with  a 
wheel-finger  (a  small  stick)  with  a  knob  to  turn  the  long  or  big  wheel  with.  This  coverlet  has 
been  in  use  every  winter  for  69  years.  In  1S5S  I  knit  this  fringe  and  sewed  it  on,  as  the  old 
fringe  was  nearly  gone.

ADDRESS 

At  Sharpless  Rock,  Eighth  Month  24th,    1SS2. 

PREPARED    BY    EZEKIEL    Hl'NN,    JR.,    ESQ. 


It  would  seem  appropriate  that  on  this  day,  the  anniversary  of  the 
landing  of  the  first  Sharpies  in  this  country,  at  this  place,  where  stands  the 
Rock  which  first  afforded  him  shelter  and  the  first  house  which  became  his 
home,  a  short  account  should  be  read  to  those  of  his  descendants  who  are 
present  of  the  origin  of  his  family  so  far  as  that  has  been  ascertained  and 
of  the  English  family  arms  he  was  entitled  to  claim,  which,  although  they 
give  no  superior  rights  or  privileges  to  the  present  head  of  the  family  in 
this  country,  may  be  justly  referred  to  by  all  the  descendants  of  the  first 
settler  as  an  emblem  of  the  dignity  and  respectability  of  the  name  of 
Sharpies  in  the  mother  country,  as  well  as  of  the  high  degree  of  confidence 
reposed  by  the  sovereign  in  the  ancestor  to  whom  they  were  originally 
granted  ;  a  dignity,  respectability  and  confidence  which  it  is  believed  have 
never  been  abused  by  any  of  the  descendants  of  that  ancestor  either  in 
England  or  America. 

With  a  view  of  obtaining  some  information  as  to  the  history  of  the 
family  and  the  family  arms,  a  correspondence  was  commenced  in  the  year 
1878  between  Henry  W.  Sharpless,  a  prominent  member  of  the  American 
branch  and  at  that  time  a  member  of  the  well  known  firm  of  Sharpless  & 
Sons,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  and  Colonel  Joseph  Lemuel  Chester,  of  London, 
England,  who  was  undoubtedly  the  chief  genealogical  student  and  the 
highest  authority  in  pedigrees  that  England  or  America  could  produce  ; 
and  the  information  furnished  by  him  was  incorporated  in  a  very  interesting 
report,  especially  prepared  by  this  learned  man,  which  report  is  made  a  part 
of  this  essay  verbatim.  And  here  let  it  be  said  that  few  men  have  even 
after  death  received  such  and  so  many  tributes  of  well  deserved  praise 
from  the  people  of  a  land  they  have  adopted  as  Colonel  Chester.  He  died 
in   London   May   29,  18S2.     During  his  illness  he  was  called  on  by  Mr. 

(4S) 


THE  SHARP  LESS  FAMILY.  49 

Lowell,  the  American    Minister,  and   by  many  distinguished   Englishmen. 

His  death  was  caused  by  internal  cancer  and  his  remains  were  interred  in 
Nunhead  Cemetery.  Flattering  obituaries  appeared  in  TJic  Times,  The 
Academy,  The  Athetueum  and  other  English  papers;  the  Dean  and  the 
Chapter  of  Westminster  announced  their  intention  of  erecting  a  memorial 
tablet  for  him  in  Westminster  Abbey  ;  and  full  notices  and  complimentary 
articles  appeared  in  all  prominent  newspapers  in  the  United  States.  From 
this  man.  therefore,  while  he  was  yet  able  to  give  us  the  benefit  of  his 
superior  knowledge  and  his  extensive  research,  we  have  obtained  the 
report  above  referred  to,  and  as  Mr.  Sharpless  spared  no  expense  and 
Colonel  Chester  no  trouble  in  obtaining  the  material  wherewith  to  compile 
it.  we  have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  it  is  the  result  of  the  combined 
effort  of  money,  experience  and  industry,  and  that  it  probably  exhausts  the 
subject 

There  is  now  living  in  Philadelphia  a  widow  named  Mary  Sharpies, 
who  emigrated  with  her  husband,  Thompson  Sharpies,  to  this  country  only 
a  few  years  ago  from  the  very  locality  in  question,  who  takes  an  especial 
pride  in  spelling  her  name  with  one  final  .$•  (never,  as  she  says,  having 
heard  of  it  being  otherwise  spelled),  who  has  raised  a  large  family  of 
children  in  this  country  and  who  is  perhaps  present  at  this  reunion  with 
some  of  those  children.  Although  these  people  cannot  be  numbered  among 
the  descendants  of  John  Sharpies,  they  are  of  course  most  welcome  as  our 
own  kindred  and  as  members  of  the  original  stock  from  which  we  are  all 
sprung,  representing  as  they  do  the  English  branch  of  the  family-tree. 

The  number  of  persons  present  at  this  gathering  must  be  only  a  small 
fraction  of  the  almost  innumerable  posterity  of  John  Sharpies  scattered 
over  the  United  States,  for  circulars  of  invitation  have  been  sent  by  the 
committee  of  arrangements  to  them  in  almost  every  State  of  the  union, 
and  there  seems  to  be  no  doubt  that  the  English  branches  of  the  familv 
have  been  quite  as  prolific  as  the  American. 

On  this  side  of  the  water  we  number  among  us,  it  is  said,  bishops, 
governors  and  judges,  as  well  as  many  individuals  of  wealth  and  distinction, 
and,  what  is  still  more  desirable,  of  high  social  standing  and  respectability. 

The  report  of  Colonel  Chester  is  as  follows: 

Result  of  Researches  Concerning  the  Ancestry  oi  the  Family  of 
Sharpless,  of  Philadelphia. 

By  Joseph  Lemuel  Chester,  LL.D. 

The  origin  of  this  family  appears  to  be  satisfactorily  traced  to 
Lancashire,  and  more  particularly  to   Bolton   and  its  immediate  neighbor- 


50  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

hood.  The  existence  in  Bolton  of  a  hamlet  named  Sharpies  suggests  the 
probability  that  the  hamlet  took  its  name  from  the  family,  or  that  the  family 
originally  assumed  the  name  of  the  locality  in  which  they  were  living  when 
surnames  were  first  introduced. 

They  appear  to  have  been  a  prolific  race,  and  its  members  eventually 
scattered  themselves  all  over  the  kingdom,  there  being  scarcely  a  county 
in  which  the  name  has  not  been  found,  but  so  far  the  various  representa- 
tives of  it,  wherever  found,  are  clearly  traced  back  to  the  common  stock  in 
Lancashire.  As  a  general  rule  they  belonged  to  the  rank  of  yeomanry, 
while  they  are  to  be  found  still  lower  in  the  social  scale  engaged  in  almost 
all  the  various  trades  and  avocations.  It  is  certain,  however,  that  at  least 
one  line  ranked  among  the  gentry  of  the  country  and  were  entitled  to  bear 
arms. 

The  two  families  of  Sharpies  of  Sharpies,  and  Sharpies  of  Freckle- 
ton,  no  doubt  descending  from  common  ancestors,  had  their  right  to  bear 
arms  recognized  by  the  Heralds  at  their  Visitation  in  1664,  and  the  coats 
they  then  presented  and  claimed  were  identical.  There  is  no  record  now 
in  existence  at  the  College  of  Arms  to  show  on  what  grounds  their  claim 
to  this  coat  was  allowed  by  the  Heralds,  but  the  king  of  arms,  who  made 
this  visitation,  was  the  celebrated  Sir  William  Dugdale,  who  enjoys  the 
highest  reputation  for  careful  and  accurate  official  investigation,  and  it  may 
be  safely  assumed  that  he  did  not  then  accept  and  confirm  these  arms 
without  abundant  evidence  that  those  who  claimed  them  were  lawfully- 
entitled  to  them.  Whether  this  coat  was  originally  granted  only  to  their 
immediate  line,  and  so  could  only  be  borne  by  them  and  their  direct 
descendants,  it  is  impossible  to  say  positively.  The  probability  is,  however, 
that  they  produced  evidence  that  the  coat  had  been  borne  by  their  ancestors 
from  time  immemorial,  as  the  heraldic  phrase  is,  and  it  was  thereupon  con- 
firmed to  them  as  a  matter  of  course.  In  such  case  it  follows  that  all  of 
the  name  who  could  trace  to  the  same  ancestors  would  possess  the  same 
right,  if  they  chose  to  press  their  claims,  while  those  who  could  directly 
connect  themselves  with  the  pedigrees  then  accepted  and  recorded  by  the 
Heralds  would  enjoy  the  right  to  bear  that  coat  without  further  ceremony. 
The  facts  appear  to  be,  after  a  careful  investigation,  that  these  two  families, 
of  Sharpies  and  Freckleton,  had  acquired  wealth  and  social  standing,  and 
chose  at  that  time  to  assert  their  right  to  bear  arms  and  be  recognized  as 
belonging  to  the  rank  of  gentry,  while  the  rest  of  the  name,  who  were  plain 
farmers  or  tradesmen  or  engaged  in  occupations  still  socially  lower,  could 
not  or  did  not  care  to  assert  the  same  right,  but  were  content  to  remain 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.  jj 

what  they  had  been   before.     The  right,  however,  existed  and  still  exists 
among  their  descendants,  as  will  be  made  clear  hereafter. 

The  name  appears  to  have  been  originally  Sharpies.  In  that  form  it 
occurs  more  often  than  in  any  other  in  the  records  that  have  been  examined. 
There  was  not,  however,  during  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries, 
any  recognized  standard  of  orthography  even  as  to  surnames  and  conse- 
quently we  find  the  name  spelt  in  various  ways,  such  as  Sharpeles,  Sharpe- 
lesse,  Sharpless,  Sharplesse,  Sharplis,  Sharplisse  and  even  Sharpulls. 
Several  genuine  signatures  of  Sharpless  occur  at  a  very  early  date,  but,  as 
has  been  said,  Sharpies  was  the  predominant  form.  The  ancestors  of  the 
American  line,  so  far  as  ascertained,  invariably  wrote  their  name  thus. 
The  addition  of  a  second  terminating  letter  in  modern  times  is  a  mere 
matter  of  taste  and  by  most  persons  will  be  considered  an  improvement. 
It  changes  the  pronunciation  of  the  whole  word  and  that  change  may  also 
be  regarded  as  an  improvement. 

It  is  to  be  feared  that  it  will  be  impossible  to  trace  the  line  of  the 
American  family  further  back  than  about  the  middle  of  the  sixteenth 
century.  The  difficulty  arises  from  the  fact  that  its  early  ancestors,  although 
perfectly  respectable,  did  not  occupy  that  rank  which  would  bring  them  and 
their  history  into  the  public  records.  They  were  not  owners  of  land  in  fee 
simple  and  therefore  no  transfers  of  property  are  among  the  rolls  in 
Chancery.  Unfortunately,  also,  although  the  wills  of  the  various  branches 
of  the  family  exist  in  great  profusion  in  the  general  registry  in  London,  and 
-at  the  local  registries  at  Lancaster  and  Chester,  they  do  not,  after  a  careful 
and  thorough  examination,  except  in  a  single  instance,  throw  any  light  upon 
the  history  of  the  ancestors  of  the  American  family. 

In  the  absence  of  such  data  as  the  ordinary  public  records  of  the 
country  furnish,  we  can  only  fall  back  upon  wills  and  parish  registers.  If 
the  wills  indicate  the  parishes  in  which  the  testators  lived  and  died, 
then  if  the  period  is  not  too  remote,  and  the  parish  registers  are  still  in 
existence  the  ancestry  of  a  family  may  be  readily  traced.  But  no  parish 
registers  were  kept  until  the  year  1538,  and  comparatively  few  commencing 
at  that  date  are  now  in  existence.  In  the  present  instance  the  registers  of 
Bolton,  the  undoubted  cradle  of  the  Sharpies  family,  do  not  begin  until 
1587,  all  the  earlier  ones  being  hopelessly  lost,  and  this  date,  as  will  be 
seen,  is  far  too  modern  for  our  purpose.  We  are  left,  therefore,  to  do  the 
best  we  can  with  such  collateral  and  circumstantial  evidence  as  is  now  to  be 
obtained.

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


We  start  with  the  fact,  abundantly  proved  hereafter,  that  John  Sharpies, 
the  emigrant  to  Pennsylvania  in  1682,  was  the  son  of  Jeffrey  Sharpies,  of 
Wybunbury,  in  the  county  of  Chester,  where  he  was  baptized  on  the  15th 
August,  1624.  My  first  search  was  for  the  antecedents  of  this  Jeffrey 
Sharpies.  The  result  was  that  among  all  the  wills  of  the  name,  at  London, 
and  the  local  registries  named,  the  will  of  but  one  Jeffrey  Sharpies  can  be 
found  of  any  date.  More  than  this,  after  having'  examined  all  the  Sharpies 
wills  at  these  registries,  from  the  earliest  date,  1384  down  to  1760,  a  period 
of  nearl)  lour  centuries,  1  am  able  to  say  that,  except  in  these  two  instances, 
the  Christian  name  of  Jeffrey  never  occurs  in  any  branch  of  the  family 
represented  by  the  wills.  This  is  obviously  an  important  fact  and  the  chief 
link  in  the  chain  of  circumstantial  evider.ee  to  be  presented. 

This  |effrey  Sharpies  made  his  will  on  the  2d  March,  1602-3,  describ- 
ing himself  as  of  Flixton,  in  the  county  of  Lancaster,  yeoman.  Flixton  is 
a  parish  about  seven  miles  west  of  Manchester,  while  Bolton  is  about 
eleven  miles  northwest.  The  two  parishes  are  therefore  but  a  few  miles 
apart. 

The  following  is  a  full  abstract  of  the  will  : 


s 


To  be  buried   in   Flixton   church.      M  to  be  divided  into  3  parts,  one  of  whi<  h 

I  give  to  my  wife  Margaret,  and  one  to  my  daughter  Elizabeth;  to  Thomas  Hopwood  20 
shillings;  to  James  Harper  40:  to  Katherine  Harper  10  shillings;  to  my  brother  Richard 
my  best  suit  of  apparel;  to  Richard's  daughter  Alice  5  shillings  and  4  pence;  to  my 
three  god-daughters  each  12  pence;  to  Adam  Stones  my  stag  leather  breeches  and  pair  of 
shoes;  to  John  Stones  40  shillings;  to  my  cousin  Richard  Ward  10.  All  residue  of  my 
estate  to  my  said  wife  and  daughter.  I  appoint  my  wife  and  Richard  Ward  executors.  1 
owe  my  uncle  Alexander  Hard  /^.io.o.  My  wife  to  have  and  enjoy  half  my  Tenement 
for  life,  and  I  desire  my  right  worshipful  Master  to  be  good  to  my  wife  and  daughter,  and 
not  have  my  Tenement  divided  so  long  as  my  daughter  is  unmarried,  and  my  said  daughter  is 
not  to  marry  without  their  consent. 

The  will  was  proved  by  the  executors,  at  Chester,  on  the  19th  May 
1603.  The  amount  of  personal  property  left  by  the  testator,  according-  to 
the  appraisement  in  the  inventory  filed,  was  ninety-eight  pounds  and  ten 
shillings. 

This  sum  must  be  multiplied  by  ten,  in  order  to  show  the  relative  value 
of  money  at  that  and  the  present  date,  and  thus  the  personalty  amounts  to 
one  thousand  pounds  or  five  thousand  dollars. 

It  must  also  be  remembered   that  such  appraisements  did  not  probably 
represent  more  than  half  the  actual  value  of  the  goods. 


THE  Sll.  \RPLESS  FAM1L  V.  g  , 

It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  this  Jeffrey  Sharpies  was  what  may  be 
called  a  well-to-do  yeoman.  The  expression  "  my  right  worshipful  Master" 
dors  not  imply  that  he  was  in  service,  but  was  a  common  term  between 
landlord  and  tenant,  and  in  the  present  instance  doubtless  indicates  the  lord 
i>\  the  manor  of  Flixton,  under  whom  he  held  his  tenement.  Other  items  of 
the  will  will  be  referred  to  hereafter. 

An  examination  of  the  parish  registers  of  Flixton  brings  to  light  the 
following  facts  : 

Jeffrey  Sharpies  was  not  a  native  of  Flixton,  as  beyond  the  entries  relat- 
ing to  himself  and  his  wives  and  children  the  name  of  Sharpies  does  not  occur 
again  in  the  registers.  None  of  his  children  were  baptized  at  Flixton,  nor 
was  he  himself  buried  there,  although  he  so  directed  in  his  will.  But  on 
the  23d  February.  1576-7,  his  son  Richard  was  buried;  on  the  27th  May, 
1577,  his  daughter  Elizabeth,  and  on  the  30th  March,  15S0,  his  first  wife, 
Anne.  About  seven  months  later,  viz.,  20th  October,  15S0 — no  unusual 
occurrence — he  was  married  again,  at  Flixton,  to  Margaret  Stones,  who 
survived  him  and  by  whom  he  had  the  daughter  Elizabeth,  who  was  still  a 
minor  at  his  death. 

Of  his  widow  and  daughter  I  have  found  no  further  trace.  If  he  was 
a  native  of  Bolton,  as  were  the  uncle  and  cousin  named  in  his  will,  the 
impossibility  of  identifying  his  ancestors  from  the  Bolton  registers  is 
apparent,  as  he  was  born  some  thirty  years  before  they  commence,  and  the 
same  remark  applies  to  his  brother  Richard. 

We  will  now  go  to  Wybunbury,  in  Cheshire,  where,  at  a  little  later 
date,  we  find  the  only  other  Jeffrey  Sharpies  who  has  been  discovered 
among  all  the  records  examined.  After  an  exhaustive  examination  of  the 
registers  there  the  following  results  are  obtained. 

The  first  Sharpies  baptism  in  the  registers  is  that  of  Thomas,  son  of 
Richard  Sharpies,  on  the  19th  August,  1579.  This  child  evidently  died 
young  and  was  not  buried  at  Wybunbury.  On  the  4th  April,  1583,  a 
daughter  of  the  same  Richard  Sharpies  was  baptized  and  on  the  4th 
Ni  ivember,  1 5S9,  another  son,  named  Thomas.  These  are  the  only  Sharpies 
baptisms  in  the  registers  until  we  come  to  those  of  the  children  of  Jeffrey 
Sharpies  at  a  later  period.  On  the  8th  December,  1614,  Cicely,  the  wife 
of  Richard  Sharpies,  was  buried.  He  remained  a  widower  about  fifteen 
years  and  was  then  married  again,  at  Wybunbury,  the  5th  December,  1629, 
to  Jane  Cowper.  There  is  no  further  trace  of  her  in  the  registers,  but 
Richard  Sharpies  himself  was  buried  there  on  the  27th  April,  1641.  He 
must  of  course  have  died  a  very  old  man,  as,  if  his  son  Thomas,  baptized

in  1579.  was  his  first  child,  he  himself  could  not  have  been  born  later  than 
about  the  year  1555,  and  his  identity  seems  fully  established  by  the  fact 
that  in  the  entry  of  his  burial  he  was  described  as  "senex,"  a  descriptive 
word  that  ill  all  my  experience  of  parish  registers  I  have  never  known  used 
except  to  indicate  extreme  old  age.  We  find  him  then  living  at  Wybunbury 
from  1579  to  1641,  a  period  of  sixty-two  years,  clearly  a  permanent  resi- 
dent of  the  parish.  We  also  find  the  name  continuing  in  the  parish  and 
another  generation  being  baptized  there,  who  were  the  children  of  Jeffrey 
Sharpies.  The  question  arises,  was  this  Jeffrey  a  son  of  the  Richard  just 
named.  To  this  I  am  compelled  to  reply  that  there  is  no  positive  evidence 
and  we  must  fall  back  upon  that  which  is  circumstantial.  Jeffrey  Sharpies 
certainly  was  not  baptized  [of  record]  at  Wybunbury,  but  this  is  not  a  fatal 
objection.  Children  were  often  baptized,  from  various  causes,  in  other 
parishes  than  those  in  which  their  parents  resided.  A  common  occurrence 
was  for  the  mother  to  visit  her  own  parents  and  have  her  child  baptized  at 
her  old  home.  Parish  registers,  too,  were  not  always  perfectly  kept. 
Entries  were  often  omitted  through  accident  or  carelessness.  .  (A  notable 
instance  has  come  under  my  own  observation  this  very  day  :  John  Locke, 
the  celebrated  philosopher,  is  known  to  have  been  baptized  in  the  parish 
church  of  Wrington,  in  Somerset,  and  yet,  although  there  is  no  deficiency 
in  the  register  at  that  period,  his  baptism  was  never  recorded.)  It  is  not  at 
all  unlikely  that  Jeffrey  may  have  been  born  before  Richard  came  to 
Wybunbury,  when  of  course  his  baptism  would  not  appear  there.  My 
reasons  for  believing  that  Jeffrey  was  the  son  of  Richard  are  that  the  name 
of  Sharpies  was  so  uncommon  in  this  part  of  the  country,  the  surname  itself 
being  an  uncommon  one,  that  it  is  most  unlikely  that  two  persons  bearing 
it,  not  very  closely  related  to  each  other,  should  have  settled  down  in  this 
small  and  out  of  the  way  neighborhood.  One  ceases  to  have  children 
baptized  in  isSgand  the  other  commences  in  161 2.  There  is  just  the 
proper  space  of  time  between  these  dates  that  there  would  be  if  we  knew 
that  the  children  of  Jeffrey  were  the  grandchildren  of  Richard.  There  are 
other  strong  reasons  to  be  found  in  the  identity  of  Christian  names  and  this 
involves  another  question.  It  will  be  remembered  that  Jeffrey  Sharpies,  of 
Flixton,  whose  will  has  been  quoted,  names  his  brother  Richard  and  his 
brother  Richard's  daughter,  showing  that  he  was  still  alive  at  the  date  of 
the  will,  in  1602,  and  with  children.  It  will  also  be  remembered  that  the 
only  son  of  this  Jeffrey  was  named  Richard,  no  doubt  after  his  brother.  If, 
as  I  assume  and  believe,  this  "brother  Richard"  was  no  other  than  Richard 
Sharpies,  of  Wybunbury,  what  more  natural  than  that  the  latter  should  in

turn  name  one  of  his  sons  after  his  brother  Jeflrey?  Then  again  it  was 
almost  the  invariable  custom  at  this  period  for  a  young  married  couple  to 
name  their  first  son  after  the  husband's  father,  a  custom  which  prevailed  all 
over  England  down  to  the  time  of  the  commonwealth,  in  the  middle  of  the 
seventeenth  century.  Now  what  name  did  Jeffrey  Sharpies,  of  Wybunbury, 
orive  to  his  first  born  son?  No  other  than  Richard.  Taking  all  these  facts 
into  consideration,  coupled  with  the  fact  that  these  two  Jeffreys  are  the  only 
ones  that  have  ever  appeared  at  any  date  among  the  vast  amount  of  records 
that  have  been  examined,  it  is  difficult  to  avoid  the  conclusion  that  Jeffrey, 
of  Flixton,  and  Richard,  of  Wybunbury,  were  brothers  and  that  Jeffrey,  of 
Wybunbury,  was  the  son  of  Richard  and  perpetuated  the  race  in  that 
parish.  It  is  to  be  feared  that  no  more  direct  evidence  will  ever  be  forth- 
coming. Richard  Sharpies  left  no  will.  Probably  his  extreme  age  would 
account  for  that,  for  he  could  hardly  have  been  less  than  eighty-six  years 
old  at  his  death  and  it  is  also  probable  that  his  worldly  possessions  were 
not  of  sufficient  magnitude  to  render  such  a  ceremony  necessary.  From 
this  point  onwards  every  statement  to  be  made  is  substantiated  by  abundant 
proof. 

Jeffrey  Sharpies,  of  Wybunbury,  was  married  under  a  license  obtained 
from  the  Bishop  of  Chester,  dated  27th  April,  161 1,  to  Margaret  Ashley, 
described  as  of  Wich  Malbank  (the  modern  Nantwich),  of  the  county  of 
Chester,  she  being  then  a  spinster.  Who  she  was  or  to  what  family  she 
belonged  it  has  so  far  been  impossible  to  ascertain.  But  it  may  be 
remarked  that  marriages  by  license  at  that  period  usually  indicate  that  the 
parties  were  not  of  the  humblest  rank  in  life,  as  they  were  attended  with 
considerably  more  difficulty  and  expense  than  marriages  by  banns,  a 
bondsman  being  required,  a  personal  journey  to  Chester  and  the  expenditure 
of  no  small  sum  in  ecclesiastical  fees.  Something  more  concerning  this 
Margaret  Ashley  may  perhaps  be  learned  hereafter.  At  present  it  is  only 
known  that  she  was  married  at  the  date  mentioned  and  that  she  was  buried 
at  Wybunbury  on  the  21st  January,  1643-4,  as  "Margaret,  the  wife  of 
Jeflrey  Sharpies." 

The  following  facts  in  reference  to  their  children  have  been  acquired 
from  a  personal  examination  of  the  Wybunbury  parish  registers  and  of  tin- 
registers  of  the  Society  of.  Friends,  now  deposited  with  the  registrar- 
general  in  London,  as  also  from  the  will  of  John  Sharpies,  the  emigrant. 
I  will  deal  with  them  in  chronological  order. 

I.  Richard  Sharpies,  evidently  the  eldest  child,  was  baptized  at 
Wybunbury   4th  September,  161 2,    and   probably  named   after  his  grand- 


56  THE  SH ARTLESS  FAMILY. 

father,  as  before  intimated.  He  evidently  died  young,  or  else  when  grown 
up  migrated  from  Wybunbury,  as  he  certainly  was  not  buried  there  nor 
does  his  name  again  appear  in  the  register.  As  he  is  not  named  in  die 
will  of  his  brother  John,  in  1682,  which  mentions  all  his  sisters  and  their 
children,  it  is  clear  that  he  was  dead  before  that  date. 

II.  Ellen,  who  was  baptized  at  Wybunbury  4th  March,  1  614-15.  Her 
marriage  does  not  occur  in  the  Wybunbury  registers,  but  she  was  named  in 
the  will  of  her  brother  John,  in  1682,  as  Ellen  Jennings,  of  Newcastle  (/.  e., 
Newcasde-under-Lyme),  in  Staffordshire,  with  three  children. 

III.  Margery,  who  was  baptized  at  Wybunbury  12th  July,  161S. 
According  to  the  Friends'  register  she  was  married  in  an  assembly  of 
the  said  people  on  the  2d  of  the  twelfth  month,  1667  (/.  e.,  2d  February, 
1667-S),  to  Daniel  Moore,  of  Hankelow,  she  being  described  as  of 
Blakenhall.  Both  Hankelow  and  Blakenhall  are  hamlets  in  the  parish  of 
Wybunbury.  Among  the  witnesses  named  are  John  Sharpies,  Jane 
Sharpies,  Mary  Sharpies  and  Rebecca  Sharpies,  i.  c,  her  brother  and  his 
wife  and  her  two  unmarried  sisters.  According  to  the  same  register  she 
died  the  24th  of  the  tenth  month  (December),  1670.  Her  husband,  Daniel 
Moore,  remarried  the  26th  of  the  first  month,  167S  (/.  e.,  March),  Mary 
Briggs,  of  Newton,  lately  of  London.  He  was  buried  the  26th  of  the  first 
month  (March),  16S1.  She  appears  to  have  left  no  issue,  and  no  will  of  her 
husband  is  to  be  found. 

IV.  A  child,  probably  dying  before  baptism,  was  buried  at  Wybunbury 
2  1st  January,  1620-1,  as  "a  daughter  of  Jeflrey  Sharpies." 

V.  John  Sharpies,  the   emigrant   to   Pennsylvania,  of  whom  hereafter. 

VI.  Mary,  who  was  baptized  at  Wybunbury  19th  August,  1627.  She 
was  mentioned  in  the  will  of  her  brother  John,  in  1682,  as  "my  sister  Mary 
Ellis,"  and  evidently  without  children.  From  the  Friends'  registers  it 
appears  that  she  married,  first,  the  16th  of  the  twelfth  month,  1667  (/.  e., 
1 6th  February,  1667-8),  Richard  Clowes,  of  Nantwich,  in  Cheshire,  the 
witnesses  being  John  Sharpies,  Rebecca  Sharpies  and  Richard  Caldwell, 
i.  c,  her  brother  and  sister,  and  the  subsequent  husband  of  the  latter. 
Richard  Clowes  lived  but  little  more  than  three  years,  dying  the  20th  oi  the 
third  month  (May),  1 67 1 .  Remaining  a  widow  a  little  more  than  two 
years,  she  re-married,  the  19th  of  the  fourth  month  (June),  1673,  Samuel 
Ellis,  of  Nantwich,  the  witnesses  being  Richard  Caldwell,  Daniel  Moore, 
Rebecca  Caldwell  and  Jane  Sharpies,  i.  e.,  her  two  brothers-in-law,  her 
sister  and  her  brother  John's  wife.  She  evidently  had  no  children  by  either 
husband,  and  neither  their  wills  nor  her  own  can  be  found,  nor  is  there  any 
further  trace  of  her  or  her  last  husband  in  the  Friends'  registers. 


THE  SHARPL  ESS  FA  MIL  Y.  57 

VII.  Rebecca,  who  was  baptized  at  Wybunbury,  30tli  fanuary,  1 630-1. 
She  was  married,  in  1671  (no  other  date  being  given  in  the  Friends' 
register),  to   Richard   Caldwell,  of  Rope,  another  hamlet  in   Wybunbury. 

The  witnesses  were  John  Sharpies,  Jane  Sharpies  and  Daniel  Moon',  i.  e., 
her  brother  and  his  wife  and  her  brother-in-law.  Richard  Caldwell  died 
the  13th  of  the  eighth  month  (October),  167S,  but  no  will  of  his  has  been 
discovered.  She  was  named  in  her  brother  John's  will,  in  [682,  as  still 
living-,  with  one  child,  but  no  further  trace  of  her  has  been  found. 

We  now  return  to  John  Sharpies,  the  fifth  child,  and  apparently  only 
surviving  son  of  Jeffrey  Sharpies  by  his  wife,  Margaret  Ashley.  He  was 
baptized  at  Wybunbury  on  15th  August,  1624.  He  is  always  described  in 
the  Friends'  registers  as  of  Hatherton,  another  hamlet  in  the  very  large 
parish  of  Wybunbury.  He  married,  in  1662  (no  other  date  being  given. 
but  more  probably,  from  the  date  of  the  birth  oi  his  first  child,  in  |anuary 
or  February,  or  even  March,  1662-3),  Jane  Moore,  also  of  Hatherton.  It 
is  probable  that  she  was  a  sister  of  Daniel  Moore  who  married  her 
husband's  sister,  Margery  Sharpies,  and  that  it  was  their  mother,  Jane 
Moore,  who  died,  according  to  the  Friends'  registers,  the  27th  of  the  first 
month  (March),  167 1.  The  entire  absence  of  wills  of  this  family  of  Moore 
renders  her  identification  difficult  if  not  impossible.  As  in  the  American 
records  of  the  family  she  is  said  to  have  died  in  1722,  aged  about  eighty- 
four  ;  she  was  born  about  163s,  being  fourteen  years  younger  than  her 
husband,  and  their  ages  at  their  marriage  were  respectively  about  thirty- 
eight  and  twenty-four.  The  births  of  all  their  children  are  recorded  in  the 
registers  of  the  Society  of  Friends  as  follows  : 

1.  Phebe,  20th  of  tenth  month  (December),  1663. 

2.  John,  1 6th  of  eleventh  month,  1666  (/.  c,  January  16,  1666-7). 

3.  Thomas  2d  of  eleventh  month,  1668  (/.  e.,  January  2,  1668-9). 

4.  James,  5th  of  first  month  (/.  <?.,  March),  1670-1. 

5.  Caleb,  22d  of  seventh  month  (/.  c,  September),   1673. 

6.  Jane,  13th  of  sixth  month  (/.  e.,  August),  1676. 

7.  Joseph,  28th  of  ninth  month  (i.  c,  November),  1678. 

As  no  deaths  of  any  children  of  John  and  Jane  Sharpies  are  recorded 
in  the  registers,  it  is  pretty  certain  that  they  had  no  others.     All  the  above 
named   children   emigrated  with  their  parents  to  Pennsylvania  in  the  year 
1682,  and  their  subsequent  history  must  be  dealt  with  there. 

It  may  be  safely  assumed  that  fohn  Sharpies,  the  emigrant,  was  among 
the  earliest  disciples  of  George  Fox.     The   last   dale   of  the   connection  of 


58  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMJL ) '. 

the  family  with  the  Church  of  England  that  we  have  is  that  of  the  burial  of 
his  mother,  in  1644,  which  was  four  years  before  Fox  began  to  teach  his 
peculiar  doctrines.  From  that  date  the  name  of  Sharpies  is  no  longer  to 
be  found  in  the  Wybunbury  parish  registers.  John  himself  and  all  his  sisters 
married  Friends,  and  as  his  was  the  earliest  marriage,  viz.,  1662,  it  seems 
clear  that  the  entire  family  had  before  that  date  joined  the  new  society. 
Whether  the  father,  Jeffrey  Sharpies,  also  became  a  Friend  can  only  be 
conjectured  from  the  fact  that  the  only  record  to  be  found  of  his  death  is  in 
the  Friends'  registers,  where  he  is  stated  to  have  died  on  the  15th  of  the 
tenth  month  (December),  1661,  and  is  described  as  of  Blakenhall.  He 
was  doubtless  buried  in  the  Friends'  burying-place,  but  over  that  he  would 
have  had  no  control.  It  seems  likely,  however,  that  if  he  had  not  himself 
become  a  Friend,  or  if  he  had  expressed  the  desire  to  be  buried  by  his  Avife 
and  the  mother  of  his  children,  that  his  surviving  children  would  not  have 
contravened  that  wish,  and  that  he  would  have  been  buried  with  her  at 
Wybunbury,  which  certainly  was  not  the  case. 

Jeffrey  Sharpies  left  no  will,  nor  were  letters  of  administration  of  his 
estate  issued,  which  indicates  either  the  extreme  meagreness  of  his  posses- 
sions or  else  that  he  had  in  his  lifetime  disposed  of  anything  he  had  to  leave 
behind  him.  It  is  perfectly  clear,  however,  from  the  character  of  the  entries 
in  the  Wybunbury  registers,  and  from  all  else  that  has  been  gleaned,  that 
he  made  no  pretension,  nor  did  his  son  after  him,  to  any  other  character 
than  that  of  a  small  yeoman  in  an  obscure  country  hamlet. 

John  Sharpies  had  a  grant  of  land  from  William  Penn  on  the  5th 
April,  16S2,  and  not  long  after  emigrated  with  his  entire  family  to  Pennsyl- 
vania, landing  at  Chester  on  the  14th  of  August  in  that  year.  Before 
leaving  England,  however,  he  made  his  will,  viz.,  on  the  4th  May,  1682, 
describing  himself  as  of  Hatherton,  in  the  county  of  Chester,  yeoman. 
The  following  is  a  full  abstract  of  it : 


My  messuage  and  tenement  in  Blakenhall,  which  I  hold  for  99  years  of  Sir  Thomas 
Delves,  of  Dodington,  Co.  Chester,  Baronet,  for  the  lives  of  John  Sharpies,  John  Sharpies  the 
younger,  and  Jane  wife  of  said  John  Sharpies  the  elder.  I  give  one-half  to  my  said  wife  Jane 
for  her  life,  with  remainder  to  my  said  son  John,  and  the  other  half  to  my  said  son  John — to 
my  said  wife  Jane  ^50. — the  rest  of  my  goods  equally  among  my  younger  children,  but  if  all 
die  before  receiving  their  shares,  then  each  of  my  executors  to  have  ^5.  If  all  said  children 
be  dead  at  my  wife's  death,  then  all  my  goods  to  go  among  my  sister  Mary  Ellis,  my  sister 
Rebecca  Caldwell  and  her  child,  and  the  three  children  of  my  sister  Ellen  Jennings,  of 
Newcastle  in  Staffordshire — I  appoint  executors  my  friends  Thomas  Read  the  elder,  of  Rope, 
yeoman,  his  son  Thomas  Read,  and  William  Wase,  of  Hankelow,  yeoman. 


THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY.

The  will  was  proved  at  Chester,  on  the  10th  November,  16S5,  m  which 
year  the  testator  had  died  in  Pennsylvania. 

It  is  evident  that  John  Sharpies,  with  a  forethought  unusual  in  American 
emigrants    of    that   period,    instead    of   disposing-   of  all    his    possessions, 

rved  the  lease  of  the  house  and  lands  which  he  held  at  Blakenhall, 
probably  with  the  idea  that,  if  dissatisfied  with  his  new  home,  he  would  have 
one  to  return  to  in  England.  He  therefore  made  his  will  before  emigrating 
and  left  it  behind  him  in  the  custody  of  his  executors.  He  was  a  tenant  of 
Sir  Thomas  Delves,  the  lord  of  the  manor,  from  whom  he  held  a  lease  for 
ninety-nine  years,  and  that  he  was  able  to  retain  this,  after  the  purchase  he 
had  made  in  Pennsylvania  and  the  necessarily  considerable  expense  of 
transporting  so  large  a  family  there,  speaks  well  for  his  thrift  and  proves 
conclusively  that  if  only  a  "yeoman,"  as  he  chose  to  call  himself,  he  was 
certainly  one  in  comfortable  circumstances. 

It  now  remains  only  to  discuss  the  question  of  arms.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  Jeffrey  Sharpies,  of  Flixton,  in  his  will  names  his  uncle 
Alexander  Ward  and  his  cousin  Richard  Ward.  Now  it  is  evident  that 
these  two  persons  appear  on  the  pedigree  of  Sharpies,  of  Sharpies,  accepted 
and  entered  by  the  Heralds  on  their  Visitation  of  Lancashire  before  referred 
to,  as  Alexander  Sharpies  alias  Ward  and  Richard  Sharpies  alias  Ward, 
bein<r  father  and  son.  Alexander  was  himself  son  of  another  Richard 
Sharpies.  Why  he  and  his  son  took  the  additional  surname  of  Ward  is 
not  clear,  and  it  was  not  used  by  the  eldest  son  of  the  last  Richard,  but 
other  descendants  of  Alexander  continued  to  use  both  surnames,  some- 
times as  Sharpies  alias  Ward  and  sometimes  as  Ward  alias  Sharpies,  while 
others  called  themselves  only  Ward  or  Sharpies. 

This  pedigree,  as  was  very  common,  gives  only  the  direct  line  of 
descent  of  Alexander  Ward  alias  Sharpies,  without  mentioning  any  of  the 
brothers  in  either  generation,  but  it  is  clear  from  the  will  of  Jeffrey 
Sharpies,  of  Flixton,  that  he  was  the  son  of  one  of  Alexander's  brothers, 
and  most  probably  a  Richard,  and  hence  be  rightly  called  Alexander  his 
uncle,  and  Alexander's  son  Richard  his  cousin.  This  being  the  case, 
although  he  styled  himself  a  yeoman,  he  had  as  much  right  to  the  arms  as 
Alexander  himself,  and  was  rightfully  a  gentleman.  It  follows,  that, 
if  Richard  Sharpies,  of  Wybunbury,  was  the  brother  of  Jeffrey,  of  Flixton, 
as  there  seems  good  reason  to  believe,  he  was  also  entitled  to  the  arms, 
and  hence  the  descendants  of  Richard,  through  John  Sharpies,  the 
emigrant,  have  equally  the  right  to  bear  them.  The  coat  is  a  very  pretty 
one  and  is  blazoned  thus  :  Sable,  three  crescents,  argent,  between  the  [joints

of  each  a  mullet  or.  The  crest  is  a  dexter  hand  brandishing  a  sword, 
proper.  When  or  to  whom  this  coat  was  originally  granted  it  is  impossible 
now  to  ascertain,  but  the  Heralds  evidently  recognized  it  as  having  been 
borne  by  the  family  of  Sharpies  from  time  immemorial  and  confirmed  it  to 
the  representatives  who  claimed  it,  both  in  1567  and  1665.

MISCELLANEOUS. 


Alfred  Fryer,  ol  Kim  Hirst,  Wilmslow,  Cheshire,  writes  under  date  of 
4  mo.  3,  1886,  as  follows: 

"Since  writing  to  thee  I  made  a  pilgrimage  into  the  district  whence 
the  Sharpless  family  came.  I  visited  the  church  and  by  the  kindness  of  the 
vicar  saw  the  registers,  but  there  was  nothing  there,  I  expect,  which  had 
not  already  been  searched  out  by  descendants  who  had  explored  them. 
Thou  may  probably  be  aware  that  the  parish  registers  in  England  usually 
commenced  with  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  and  they  were  in  the  first  instance 
made  on  paper,  afterwards  transcribed  into  books  made  of  parchment.  In 
some  cases  the  paper  originals  exist.  The  registers  of  Wybunbury  are  in 
beautiful  preservation,  yet  they  are  more  difficult  to  read  than  an)-  which  1 
have  met  with.  Not  only  do  the  inscriptions  include  curious  contractions, 
but  the  writing  is  extremely  small  and  the  most  quaint  in  character  that  1 
have  met  with  ;  so  they  have  to  be  picked  out  rather  than  read.  Wybun- 
bury is  pronounced  Wib'-en-berry.  I  send  a  photo,  of  the  tower,  which  is 
very  beautiful  and  ancient,  and  must  have  been  very  familiar  to  John 
Sharpless,  but  would  present  to  him  a  much  less  pleasing  picture  than  it 
does  to  us.  Neglect  to  attend  their  legal  places  of  worship  brought  on 
Friends  the  penalties,  under  the  cruel  statute  of  Elizabeth,  of  twenty 
pounds  a  month.  The  tower  is  worth  examining  with  a  magnifying  glass 
in  order  to  see  the  statues  on  the  face.  The  church  has  been  rebuilt  about 
1830.  No  ancient  gravestone  exists  in  the  yard  with  the  name  of  Sharpless 
on  it,  and  indeed  the  name  seems  to  have  died  out  of  the  district.  Among 
the  numerous  ancient  benefactors  to  the  parish  the  name  is  not  found. 

"  I  also  went  to  Blakenhall,  where  he  lived  for  a  time.  This  is  not  the 
name  of  a  house,  but  of  a  district  or  rather  township,  and  after  diligently 
hunting  I  could  find  no  tradition  of  the  existence  of  Sharpless,  nor  any 
house  with  letters  inscribed  on  it.  I  also  proceeded  to  Hatherton  and 
treated  it  in  like  manner,  and  then  went  to  Hankelow.  I  send  thee  a  photo' 
of  an  extensive  odd-timbered  house,  the  'Cliff,'  at  Wybunbury.  I  also  went 
to  Nantwich,  a  place  in  the  district  often  mentioned  in  Besse  and  Fox.     It

possesses  a  beautiful  church  with  an  octagonal  tower.  It  is  ancient.  I 
send  thee  a  photo.  At  Nantwich  the  last  wife  of  John  Milton  was  buried, 
but  at  a  little  Baptist  graveyard  ami  not  at  the  church." 

The  same  correspondent  informs,  that  on  the  20th  of  5th  month,  1659, 
a  petition  signed  by  women,  against  tithes,  was  presented  to  Parliament,  and 
among  the  Cheshire  signers  were  Anne  Sharpies,  Mary  Sharpies  and 
Margery  Sharpies. 

In  Virginia  Carolorum,  or  an  account  of  the  colony  of  Virginia,  by 
Edward  D.  Neill,  it  is  stated  that  Mr.  Davison  was  elected  secretary  of  the 
Virginia  Company  in  1621,  after  whose  death,  in  1623-4,  an  oath  was 
administered  to  Edward  Sharpies,  acting  as  secretary,  in  these  words : 

••  You  shall  keep  secret  all  matters  committed  unto  you,  with  all  things 
that  shall  be  treated  secretly  at  the  Counsell  table  untill  such  tyme  as  by 
the  consent  of  his  Majestie's  Governor  and  Captayn  Generall  and  the  full 
Councel  of  the  State  then  resydent,  or  the  maior  part  of  them,  publication 
shall  be  made  thereof,"  etc. 

On  the  15th  of  June,  1625,  Governor  Wyatt  and  Council  notified  the 
Privy  Council  in  England  that  they  had  been  forced  to  suspend  Captain 
John  Martin  from  their  body,  and  that  the  reason  they  had  taken  the 
secretaryship  from  and  cut  off  the  ears  of  Edward  Sharpless,  was  because 
he  had  violated  his  oath  and  "  delivered  papers  committed  to  his  charge 
which  crreatlv  concerned"  them. 

In  Hotten's  Lists  of  Emigrants  mention  is  made  of  a  Thomas 
Sharpless,  aged  twenty,  who  embarked  6th  June,  1635,  at  Gravesend,  for 
Virginia. 

In  Burke's  History  of  the  Commoners  it  is  stated  that  Judith,  daughter 
of  Armigill  Sharpies,  of  Louth,  in  Lancashire,  married  Edward  Massing- 
berd,  Esq.,  baptized  1589,  and  left  two  sons.  Cuthbert  Sharpies  was 
mayor  of  Liverpool  in  1699.  Aaron  Troughton,  Esq.,  of  Preston,  in  Lanca- 
shire, married  Miss  Nancy  Gornall,  who  wedded  secondly  Thomas 
Sharpies,  Esq.,  of  Blackburn. 

William  Penn,  writing  from  Kensington,  England,  to  James  Logan,  3d 
of  12  mo.  1 701,  says  :  "  I  have  sent  my  negative  to  the  charter  by  way  of 
New  York,  per  Lord  Cornbury's  ship,  the  Jersey.  Captain  Stapleton  has 
it,  directed  to  the  Post-master  Sharpies." 

John  Sharpless  and  others  were  signers  to  a  certificate  dated  4  mo.  3, 
1  71 1,  which  Mark  Carleton  brought  to  Philadelphia  from  Friends  of  Mt. 
Melick  Meeting,  in  Ireland. 


Genealogy 


OF   THE 


Sharples  Family 


IN  AMERICA. 


Children  of  Geoffrey  and    Margaret  Sharples,*  of  Wybun- 
bury,   Cheshire,  England. 

Richard,  bapt.  at  Wybunbury,  Sept.  4,  161 2;  probably  died  young  or 
without  issue. 

Ellen,  bapt.  at  W.  Mar.  4,  1614-15  ;    married Jennings  and  had  three 

children,  who  were  of  New  Castle,  in  Staffordshire,  1682. 

Margery,  bapt.  at  YY.  July  1  2,  1618;  married  from  Blakenhall  12  mo.  2, 
1667  to  Daniel  Moor,  of  Hankelow.  (It  is  also  of  record  that  the 
marriage  occurred  12  mo.  2,  1 671,  at  Richard  Chadwell's  house,  at 
Rope,  but  the  year  is  doubtless  in  error.)  She  is  said  to  have  died 
10  mo.  24,  1670,  after  which  he  married  again,  as  already  shown 
(p.  56).  The  death  of  a  Margaret  Moor,  of  Hankelow,  is  also 
given  11  mo.  19,  1678,  and  Daniel  Moor,  of  the  same  place,  was 
buried  1  mo.  26,  168).  Abigail  Moor,  dau.  of  Daniel  and  Mary, 
was  born  11  mo.  26,  1678.  Margery  does  not  appear  to  have  left 
issue. 

A  daughter,  probably  unnamed,  buried  at  Wybunbury,  Jan.  21,  1620-1. 

*  It  is  proposed  to  use  this  spelling  of  the  name   in  the  early  generations  and,  so  far  as  known,  in   the 
cases  of  those  who  still  adhere  to  it.

i.  John,  bapt.  at  \V.  Aug.  15,  1624,  of  whom  presently. 

Mary,  bapt.  at  \V.  Aug.  19,  1627;  married  from  Namptwich,  12  mo.  16, 
1667,  to  Richard  Clowes  of  that  place,  who  died  3  mo.  20,  1671, 
and  she  m.  4  mo.  19,  1673,  Samuel  Ellis  of  Namptwich.  They 
subsequently  came  to  Pennsylvania  and  were  witnesses  to  the 
marriage  of  her  nephew,  John  Sharpies,  in  1692.  She  died  2  mo. 
26,(?)  1703,  according  to  the  statement  of  her  said  nephew.  Of  her 
last  husband  nothing  further  is  known  and  it  does  not  appear  that 
she  had  children. 

Rebecca,  bapt.  at  W.  Jan.  30,  1 630-1  ;  married  from  "Roppe,"  1671,  at  the 
house  of  Mary  Fletcher,  in  Edlestone,  to  Richard  Caldwell  of  Roppe,* 
who  died  8  mo.  13,  1678.  He  is  supposed  to  have  been  the  Richard 
"  Chadwell "  at  whose  house  her  sister  Margery  was  married. 
Rebecca  Caldwell  and  daughter  Mary  came  to  Pennsylvania, 
perhaps  in  company  with  her  brother  John  Sharpies,  1682,  and 
settled  on  adjoining  land,  taken  up  on  rent.  She  died  2  mo.  2  5,(?) 
1703,  "being  past  the  age  of  seventy-two."  The  name  was 
frequently  written  Caudwell  and  Cordwell  in  the  old  records. 
Mary  Caldwell  married  William  Swaffer,  in  1694,  and  some  of  their 
descendants  will  be  given  at  the  end  of  this  volume.

Whitley,  sons  of  Ralph  and  Eliza  (Elizabeth  ?),  of  Norcott  or  Norcett ;  also 
of  Ralph  Moores.  of  Norcett,  11  mo.  23,  1661.  Jane  Moore  died  1  mo. 
27,  1 67 1.  The  relationship  of  these  to  Jane  Sharpies  can  only  be  con- 
jectured. After  16S2  the  names  of  Sharpies  and  Moore  do  not  occur  in 
the  records  of  Cheshire  Monthly  Meeting  for  one  hundred  and  forty  years. 
The  Daniel  Moore,  of  Manchester,  whose  letter  to  his  cousins  has  been 
given  (p.  41),  was  doubtless  the  son  of  a  brother  to  Jane  Sharpies. 
Another  nephew  was  John  Moore,  weaver,  who,  with  Margaret,  his  wife, 
came  to  Pennsylvania  prior  to  171 7,  and  settled  in  Thornbury  township. 
They  appear  to  have  had  the  following  children   (named  Moore): 

Daniel,  m.  Elizabeth and  settled  in  West  Nantmeal,  Chester  County  ;  d.  about 

1763- 

Thomas,  m.    Mary and  had  several  children,  of  whom  a  dau.  Mary,  m.    James 

Batten,  1  733.     Thomas  died  in  Newtown  township,  1752,  leaving  a  widow,  Susanna. 

Margaret,  b.  Apr.  24,  1699,  m.  June  26,  171 7,  William  Trego,  supposed  to  be  of  a 
French  Huguenot  family,  and  resided  in  Goshen  township.  Their  son  Benjamin, 
b.  June  2.  1730,  gave  the  ground  upon  which  the  public  buildings  were  erected  at 
West  Cluster,  to  which  the  county  seat  was  removed  from  Chester  in  17S6, 

Elizabeth,  m.  James  Trego,  son  of  Peter  and  Judith  and  brother  to  William. 

Mary,  m.  Richard  Barry,  7  mo.  24,  1719. 

Samuel,  m.'  Mary . 

Ann,  m.  10  mo.  23,  1725,  to  Nathaniel  Grubb. 

John,  m.  Elizabeth and  d.  1733. 

The  movements  of  John  Sharpies  are  to  some  extent  indicated  by  the 
places  of  his  children's  births.  That  he  became  an  early  convert  to  the 
doctrines  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  or  Quakers,  and  an  active  member  of 
their  meetings  for  discipline,  has  been  shown  (p.  27).  Some  of  his 
sufferings  on  account  of  his  religious  principles  are  set  forth  in  the 
following  extracts  from  Besse's  Sufferings  of  the  Quakers,  vol.  i.  pp.  105, 
10S.

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


Anno  1679. 


■About  twenty-three  others,  convicted  at  the  Quarter  Sessions  of  one  Month's  Absence 
from  their  Parish  Church  on  the  Act  of  23  Q.  Eliz.  were  fined  20/.  each,  and  returned  into  the 
Court  of  Exchequer,  as  Delinquents,  indebted  to  the  King,  namely  John  Wrench,  Richard 
Picton,  Alice  Jackson,  Anne  Wrench,  Thomas  Norcott,  John  Hall,  Thomas  Powel,  Mary 
Norcott,  Peter  Dix,  Samuel  Tovie,  John  Jackson,  James  Dix,  William  Woodcock,  Mary 
Stretch,  John  Peckow,  Helen  Peckow,  Thomas  Vernon,  Thomas  Peckow,  Gilbert  Woolam, 
Thomes  Brassey,  Joseph  Powel,  John  Sharpies,  and  Henry  Fletcher. ' ' 


At  a  still  earlier  date  one  of  the  name  had  suffered  persecution  in 
company  with  several  other  Friends,  as  related  by  Besse,  i.  744. 

WALES,  Anno  1660. 

"  On  the  5th  of  December,  a  Lieutenant  and  several  Files  of  Soldiers  came  into  the 
Meeting  at  Shrewsbury,  with  Swords  drawn,  and  Matches  lighted ;  they  put  the  Women  out, 
and  then  guarded  the  Men  to  the  Town-hall,  where  the  Justices  tendered  them  the  Oath  of 
Allegiance,  and  upon  their  refusing  to  take  it,  the  Mayor  sent  twenty-three  of  them  to  Prison, 
where  they  lay  fifteen  Weeks.  Their  Names  were,  John  Shield,  Richard  Moore,  Oliver 
Atherton,  Ralph  Sharpies,  Jeremiah  Owen,  Thomas  Rowley,  Richard  Ward,  Thomas  Woolrich, 
Henry  Rawson,  James  Farmer,  William  Trattle,  William  Griffith,  John  Houston,  Richard  Ap 
Edward,  John  Millington.  John  Medlicott,  Thomas  Bracy,  Joseph  Fletcher,  Abraham  Poyner. 
Owen  Roberts,  Thomas  Somerfield.  John  Farmer,  and  John  Whitaker." 

At  some  period  after  the  birth  of  his  eldest  son,  John  Sharpies  took  a 
lease  of  some  land  from  Sir  Thomas  Delves,  as  mentioned  in  the  abstract 
of  his  will  (p.  58 1  and  there  is  evidence  that  this  lease  was  placed  on 
record  in  Philadelphia  about  the  year  1 700.  The  index  in  the  office  of  the 
Recorder  of  Deeds  for  that  city  contains  the  reference:  "Thomas  Delves 
to  John  Sharpies,  Book  E.  3,  vol.  5,"  but  the  book  cannot  be  found.* 
Perhaps  the  instrument  was  about  to  be  sent  back  to  England  and  as  a 
precaution  against  its  loss  it  was  placed  on  record  here. 

YVkh  the  hope  of  greater  advantages  to  his  family,  both  spiritual  and 

*  The  printing  of  this  work  has  been  somewhat  delayed  with  the  hope  of  obtaining  a  copy  of  this  lease. 
It  appears  that  the  book  referred  to  was  for  some  obscure  reason  kept  in  the  Land  Office  and  with  the  other 
records  of  that  department  removed  to  Harrisburg  when  that  city  became  the  State  Capital.  By  a  resolution  of 
the  General  Assembly,  in  1S38,  the  Secretary  of  the  Land  Office  was  directed  to  have  copies  made  of  all  patents 
and  other  deeds  relating  to  land  in  Philadelphia  City  or  County  for  the  use  of  the  latter.  A  copy  of  the  greater 
part  of  the  book  in  question  forms  what  is  known  as  "  Exemplification  Record,  No.  7,"  in  the  Philadelphia  office, 
but  the  lease  was  omitted.  Diligent  search  has  been  made  at  Harrisburg  but  the  original  book  has  not  been 
found  and  has  possibly  been  sold  by  dishonest  officials  for  waste  paper,  as  is  known  to  have  been  the  case  with 
other  valuable  documents.

temporal.  John  Sharpies  embraced  the  offers  of  William  Perm  and  became 
a  purchaser  of  lands  yet  unsurveyed  in  the  wilds  of  Pennsylvania.  The 
purchase  was  according  to  the  usual  form  of  that  day,  by  deeds  of  Lease 
and  Release.  The  first  for  a  merely  nominal  sum  of  five  shillings  gave 
possession  for  the  term  of  one  year,  and  the  second,  dated  the  next  day. 
gave  full  title  to  the  land,  entering  also  more  minutely  into  the  details  of 
the  transaction.     A  copy  of  the  release  is  here  given  :

74  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

This  release  was  recorded  5  mo.  1 1 ,  1 6SS,  in  the  first  Deed  Book  for 
Chester  County,  Pa.,  and  the  lease,  together  with  a  receipt  for  the 
consideration  money,  on  the  following  day.  The  original  of  the  last 
document  is  now  the  property  of  Mary  Randolph,  of  Philadelphia.  There 
is  evidence  that  the  autograph  of  William  Penn,  as  it  appears  on  these 
deeds,  was  made  by  a  stamp.  Two  of  the  above  witnesses  were 
doubtless  prospective  emigrants  while  Harbert  Springett  acted  as  the 
attorney  and  conveyancer  for  Penn,  whose  wife  is  supposed  to  have  been 
his  niece. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  John  Sharpies  and  family  came  over  in 
the  "Lion,"  of  Liverpool,  John  Compton  (or  Crompton),  master.  The 
eldest  son,  who  was  in  his  sixteenth  year  at  the  time  of  their  arrival,  \vrote 
thus  several  years  afterward  :  "And  my  father  and  mother,  with  these  their 
Children  left  Ould  England,  their  native  Country  and  came  on  Shour  in 
Pennsylvania  on  the  14  da.  6  mo.  1682,  all  but  my  brother  Thomas  who 
died  upon  the  Seas  the  17:5  mo.  1682."*  The  time  of  the  arrival  of  the 
"  Lion  "  is  fixed  by  a  certain  Bible  record  and  corroborating  evidence  at  the 
13th  of  6  mo.  1682.  An  interesting  letter  f  written  by  Dr.  Edward  Jones, 
a  passenger,  dated  "  Skool  Kill  River,  ye  26th  of  ye  6  mo.  1682,"  says  : 
"  This  shall  lett  thee  know  that  we  have  been  aboard  eleaven  weeks  before 
we  made  the  land  (it  was  not  for  want  of  art,  but  contrary  winds)  and  one 
we  were  in  coming  to  Upland,  ye  town  is  to  be  buylded  15  or  16  miles  up 
ye  River.  And  in  all  this  time  we  wanted  neither  meate,  drink  or  water 
though  several  hogsheds  of  water  run  out.  *  *  *  *  The  passengers 
are  all  living  save  one  child  ye  died  of  a  surfeit  :|:     *     *     We  are  short 

of  our  expectation  by  reason  that  ye  town  is  not  to  be  builded  at  Upland, 
neither  would  ye  Master  bring  us  any  further,  though  it  is  navigable  for 
ships  of  greater  burthen  than  ours." 

The  close  coincidence  in  the  given  date  of  arrival,  and  the  death  of  a 
child  at  sea,  are  the  grounds  for  supposing  that  John  Sharpies  and  family 
were  passengers  on  the  Lion,  but  it  is  a  question  whether  the  son  Thomas, 
in  his  fourteenth  year,  would  be  referred  to  as  a  child.  The  records  of 
Chester  Monthly  Meeting  show  that  Thomas  Powell,  son  of  Thomas,  was 
buried  at  sea  "  about  the  same  time  "  as  Thomas  Sharpies,  and  that  a  child 
of  Thomas  Minshall  died  at  sea  4  mo.  5,  1682.     Dr.  Smith,  the  historian  of 

*  The  original  of  this  account  is  not  known  to  exist,  but  a  copy  made  by  a  grandson,  Daniel  Sharpless,  is 
preserved.

JOHN  SHARP LES; 


/  3 


Delaware  Count)-,  says  that  Thomas  Powell  and  family  came  in  the  same 
vessel  with  John  Sharpies,  being  probably  led  to  this  conclusion  by  the 
coincidence  and  mention  of  their  children's  deaths. 

At  the  time  of  the  arrival  of  John  Sharpies,  the  place  now  called 
Chester  was  known  as  Upland,  a  name  given  to  it  by  the  Swedes  near  forty 
years  before,  but  upon  the  arrival  of  William  Penn  in  the  following 
October,  he  changed  the  name  to  Chester  to  please  a  personal  friend,  and 
the  same  name  was  given  to  one  of  the  three  counties  into  which  the 
province  was  afterward  divided.  Prior  to  1682  there  were  perhaps  not  more 
than  twenty  English  families  within  ten  miles  of  this  place,  and  although 
the  Swedes  had  been  in  possession  so  long,  yet  their  settlements  were  con- 
fined to  the  lowlands  aloncr  the  Delaware  River. 

O 

We  have  seen  that  the  family  took  up  their  abode  on  the  bank  of 
Ridley  Creek,  then  called  Batcome  Branch  or  Oele  Stille's  Creek,  from 
Oele  or  Oloff  Stille,  a  Swede  who  had  settled  on  the  river  as  early  as  1641. 
It  is  assumed  that  the  settlement  was  made  immediately  after  the  landing, 
but  it  appears  to  have  been  upon  the  land  of  a  former  settler.  At  the 
Upland  Court.  June  i8,(?)  167S,  "Thomas  Nossitur  desiering  of  the  Court 
a  grant  to  take  up  Twoo  hundered  acres  of  Land,  The  Court  granted  ye 
same  hee  seating  and  Improoveing  sd  Land  according  to  his  honor  yc 
governo"  Regulacons."  Nov.  12,  1678,  permission  was  given  for  Thomas 
Nossitur  "&  associates "  to  take  up  one  hundred  acres  more.  Upon 
some  part  of  this  land  John  Sharpies  settled,  that  purchased  from  William 
Penn  being  unlocated  and  consequently  unimproved.  The  necessities  of  the 
settlers  made  it  desirable  to  £.ret  some  land  which  had  been  brought  under 
cultivation,  and  John  Sharpies  doubtless  agreed  with  Thomas  Nossiter  at 
once  for  one-half  of  his  land,  postponing  the  execution  of  a  deed  until  a 
visit  could  be  made  to  the  Commissioners  of  Property  at  Philadelphia.  The 
convevance  for  this  land  being  quaint  and  somewhat  historical  is  here  given 
in  full': 

"(flus  Mndmturc  made  the  Twelfth  day  of  Septembr  in  the  yeare  of

Considerable  inquiry  has  been  made  for  the  original  of  this  document, 
but  it  has  not  been  found.  Richard  Ingelo  was  for  some  time  clerk  of 
the  Provincial  Council  and  possibly  wrote  the  deed.  On  the  same  date 
the  following  warrant  was  granted  by  the  Governor  and  addressed  to  the 
Surveyor,  though  their  names  do  not  appear. 

"  By  order  from  the  Governor  and  Commissioners  for  setting  out 
Lands  to  the  Purchasers  in  Pennsylvania,  &c,  I  hereby  authorize  thee  to 
Survey  and  lay  out  unto  John  Sharpless  four  hundred  acres,  next  unto 
Thomas  Brasseys  thousand  acres,  up  Mill  Creek,  next  Creek  above  Crum 
Creek,  and  to  lay  it  out  on  the  Western  side  of  the  said  Mill  Creek  at  the 
Rule  of  twenty  Pole  to  the  hundred  if  the  Place  will  bear  it,  and  to  Return 
unto  me  a  true  duplicate  of  the  field  work  and  protracted  Figure,  which 
is  to  remain  in  my  office:   dated  this  12th  7  Month  16S2." 

The  next  creek  above  Crum  is  Darby  Creek,  of  which  a  branch,  now 
Cobb's  Creek,  was  formerly  called  Mill  Creek,  but  it  does  not  appear  that 
any  land  was  surveyed  there  for  John  Sharpies,  or  that  any  survey  had 
then  been  made,  of  one  thousand  acres,  for  Thomas  Brassey.  The  above 
warrant  was  probably  mostly  located  in  Nether  Providence,  on  Crum  Creek, 


;S  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

some  distance  above  the  place  of  settlement.  Prior  to  5  mo.  29,  1S64,  a 
tract  of  three  hundred  and  thirty  acres  had  been  surveyed  there  for 
John  Sharpies. 

The  first  Assembly  for  the  Province  convened  at  Chester,  Dec.  4, 
16S2,  and  passed  the  "Great  Law  or  Body  of  Laws,"  comprising  sixty-one 
chapters.  After  this  William  Penn  issued  writs  for  an  election  on  the  20th 
oi  12  mo.  (Feb.  16S2-3)  of  twelve  persons  as  members  of  Council  "and 
that  thou  there  declare  to  the  said  freemen  that  they  may  all  personally 
appear  at  an  assembly  at  the  place  aforesaid  according  to  the  contents  of 
my  charter  of  liberties."  The  place  of  meeting  was  at  Philadelphia,  on 
the  1 2th  of  March,  but  each  county  sent  only  twelve  persons — three  for 
Council  and  nine  for  Assembly.  The  following  petition,  without  date, 
was  doubtless  presented  at  this  time  : 

"  To  William  Penn,  proprietary  and  governor  of  the  province  of  Pennsylvania  and 
territories  thereof — The  petition  of  the  freeholders  of  the  County  of  Chester  respectfully 
showeth,  That  in  obedience  to  the  writ  sent  to  our  Sheriff  we  have  chosen  twelve  persons  for 
our  delegates  to  serve  in  the  provincial  Council,  but  considering  that  the  numbers  of  the 
people  are  yet  small  and  that  we  have  few  fit  for  or  acquainted  with  such  public  business,  and 
also  that  we  are  unable  to  support  the  charge  of  greater  elections  and  Assemblies.  After  our 
humble  acknowledgment  of  the  favor  intended  us  therein  we  take  leave  humbly  to  request 
that  three  of  the  twelve  we  have  chosen  may  serve  as  provincial  councillors  and  the  other  nine 
for  the  Assembly,  which  provincial  Councillors  are  John  Symcock,  for  three  years,  Ralph 
Withers  for  two  years,  and  William  Clayton  for  one  year,  leaving  it  to  thee  to  increase  the 
number  as  occasion  shall  serve  hereafter. ' ' 

This  was  signed  by  James  Browne,  William  Woodmancy,  John 
Sharpies,  Albert  Hendrickson  and  some  others  whose  names  are  now 
illegible-* 

Upon  the  organization  of  townships  the  land  late  of  Thomas  Nossiter 
proved  to  be  in  Ridley  township,  adjoining  the  line  of  Nether  Providence. 
John  Sharpies  made  an  addition  to  his  purchase,  of  forty  acres  in  the  latter 
township,  in  right  of  his  one  thousand  acres.  A  memorandum  of  the 
county  surveyor  reads  thus:  "July  the  2d,  1683:  Surveyed  for  John 
Sharpies  240  acres  of  Land  lying  between  Ridley  Creek  and  Crum  Creek. 

Charles  Ashcom." 

A  plot  of  the  land  shows  that  his  sister  Rebecca  Caudwell  had  taken 
up  adjoining  land,  and  it  is  noted  that  two  hundred  acres  was  a  late 
purchase  and  forty  acres  old  purchase.     It  is  also  endorsed  that  "J.  S.  says 

*  Hazard's  Annals,  603.

that  the  Governor  askt  T.  Nossiter  for  his  Title  to  the  Land,  but  not 
answering-  the  Regulation  the  Governor  promised  to  confirm  a  Pattent 
to  J.  S." 

In  the  7th  month  (September)  following  another  warrant  was  granted, 
as  follows : 

"William  Penn,  Proprietary  and  Governor  of  the  Province  of 
Pennsylvania  and  the  Territories  thereunto  belonging : 

"At  the  Request  of  John  Sharpless  that  I  would  grant  him  to  take  up 
some  Land  of  his  Purchase  in  the  County  of  Chester,  These  are  to  Will 
and  Require  thee  forthwith  to  survey,  or  Cause  to  be  surveyed,  unto  him 
three  hundred  acres  of  Land,  up  Chester  Creek,  where  not  already  taken 
up,  according  to  the  method  of  Townships  appointed  by  me,  &  make 
Returns  thereof  into  my  Secretary's  Office.  Given  at  PhilacP  the  1st  of 
the  7th  month,  16S3.  Wm.  Pexx. 

"  For  Thomas  Holmes,  Surveyor  General.} 

[Endorsed]  "18th  8th  Month,  ordered  C.  A.  to  set  it  out  in  Upland 
Township  after  former  Warrants." 

This  warrant  was  executed  April  9,  16S4,  by  the  survey  of  three 
hundred  acres  on  the  east  side  of  Chester  Creek,  in  what  is  now  Middle- 
town  township,  for  which  the  name  of  Upland  appears  to  have  been 
proposed  at  first.  Three  separate  patents  or  deeds  of  confirmation  were 
executed  by  William  Penn  5  mo.  28,  and  29,  1684 — just  two  weeks  before  he 
sailed  for  England — for  the  three  tracts  of  land  surveyed  to  John  Sharpies. 
That  for  the  homestead  is  here  given  as  a  sample  of  such  documents.

Owning  land  in  and  adjoining  the  township  of  Providence,  John 
Sharpies  was  doubtless  interested  in  having  a  road  laid  out  thence  to  the 
town  of  Chester,  and  we  find  that  "  Att  a  Cort  held  att  Chester  for  the 
County  of  Chester  ye  17th  of  ye  8th  moneth,  Called  October,  1683,"  before 
John  Symcocke,  President,  and  Thomas  Brassey,  Otto  Ernest  Cocke  and 
Robert  Wade,  Justices,  "The  Inhabitance  of  Providence  made  their  Appli- 
cation to  this  Cort  for  a  highway  Leading  to  ye  Towne  of  Chester  :  Ordered, 
that  the  Grand  Jury  doe  meet  on  ye  22th  Instant  att  Tho  :  Nositer's  there

In  this  day  it  would  not  be  thought  proper  to  appoint  a  person  on  a 
jury  to  lay  out  a  road  through  his  own  land,  as  was  the  case  with  Thomas 
Xossiter.  who,  however,  does  not  seem  to  have  been  satisfied  with  what 
was  done.  "  Att  a  Cort  held  att  Chester  for  the  County  of  Chester  the

With  some  other  business  the  Court  adjourned  "  vntill  the  1st  3d  day 
of  the  next  moneth,"  and  the  next  session  was  held  "the  6th  day  of  the 
1  ith  moneth,  1684,"  at  which  time  it  was — 

"Ordered,  that  Peter  Taylor  and  Robert  Vernome  be  received  into  the 
Grand  Jury  in  the  Roome  of  John  Child  and  Thomas  Minkshaw  [Minshall], 
And  Thomas  Colborne  in  the  Roome  of  John  Sharply." 

These  are  the  only  instances  in  which  the  name  of  John  Sharpies 
appears  on  the  records  of  the  Court,  and  the  reason  for  his  being  set  aside 
from  the  grand  jury  is  not  given.  At  the  next  Court,  held  12  mo.  3,  1684, 
"Thomas  Nositer  made  Over  a  Certaine  deed  unto  Walter  ffausett,  dated 
the  3d  day  of  y*  12th  moneth  1684,  for  a  Parcell  of  Land  lying  and  being 
on  the  north  side  of  Ridly  Creeke."  Also,  "  Thomas  Nositer  was  Presented 
by  yc  Grand  Jury  for  falling  of  marked  Trees  and  Blocking  up  the  high

Way  laid  out  by  them  by  a  former  Order  of  this  Cort."  The  complaint  is 
not  further  mentioned,  and  it  is  likely  that  having  sold  his  land  he  ceased 
to  be  interested  in  the  road. 

Robert  Wade  settled  at  Upland  in  1675,  anil  in  that  year  William 
lulmundson,  a  traveling  minister,  held  a  meeting  there.  A  meeting  was 
probably  held  regularly  after  1677,  by  which  time  several  other  Friends 
had  arrived  in  the  neighborhood.  They  at  first  belonged  to  Burlington 
'  Monthly  Meeting  in  New  Jersey,  of  which  a  session  was  "held  at  Upland 
in  the  house  of  Robert  Wade,  the  15th  of  the  9th  month,  16S1,"  but  the  first 
meeting  of  the  kind  held  by  Friends  of  the  Western  Shore  alone,  is  set 
forth  in  the  following  minute:  "the  10  day  of  ye  11  month  16S1.  A 
monthly  meeting  of  frends  belonging  to  marcus  hooke  &  vpland  held  then 
at  Robert  Wad's  house." 

At  a  Monthly  Meeting  held  7  mo.  1 1,  16S2,  "It  was  then  agreed  yl  a 
meeting  shall  be  held  for  ye  service  &  worship  of  god  every  first  day  at 
yc  court  house  at  Vpland.  And  also  agreed  that  there  be  three  meetings 
in  the  week  time  ;  the  westerne  part  to  meet  at  Chichester  the  5th  day  of 
the  week,  and  the  middle  meeting  at  Harold,  at  Wm.  Woodmanson's,  the 
4th  day  of  the  week,  and  the  Eastern  meeting  at  Ridley,  at  John  Simcock's. 
the  5th  day  of  the  week,  untill  otherwise  ordered." 

It  seems  evident  that  all  were  to  meet  together  on  First-days  at 
Upland.  John  Sharpies  doubtless  attended  the  mid-week  meeting  at  John 
Simcock's  house,  but  this  never  became  an  established  meeting,  and  after 
a  few  years  those  composing  it  met  altogether  at  Chester.  There  is  no 
mention  of  the  name  of  John  Sharpies  on  the  minutes  of  Chester  Monthly 
Meeting.  According  to  the  known  usages  of  the  Society  at  that  day,  it 
would  seem  likely  that  he  brought  a  certificate  of  membership  from  Friends 
in  England.     At  a  monthly  meeting  held  at  Walter  Faucit's  2  mo.  2,  168S, — 

"It  is  desired  by  the  meeting  that  all  friends  belonging  to  this  meeting 
bring  in  their  Certificates  to  the  next  monthly  meeting  ;  and  those  that  have 
none,  to  come  to  the  said  meeting  and  satisfy  friends  the  reason  thereof : 
and  that  these  friends  following  doe  publish  the  same  at  the  respective 
meetings  following,  the  first  day  before  the  next  monthly  meeting,  viz.,  George 
Maris  for  Bartholomew  Coppock's  meeting,  John  Boweter  for  his  meeting, 
Randal  Varnon  for  Chester  meeting,  Thomas  Minshall  for  his  meeting." 

Fourteen  certificates  were  produced  at  the  next  meeting  and  others 
soon  after,  yet  there  is  no  mention  of  the  name  of  Sharpies  among  them. 
John  Sharpies  was  not  living,  but  his  widow  and  eldest  son,  then  of  age. 
might  have  been  expected  to  produce  the  evidence  of  their  membership.

According  to  the  "Conditions  and  Concessions"  agreed  upon  between 
William  Penn  and  the  first  purchasers,  the  latter  were  to  receive  lots  and 
liberty  lands  in  the  city  it  was  designed  to  lay  out.  The  5th  article  of  the 
conditions  stated.  "  That  the  proportion  of  lands  that  shall  be  laid  out  in  the 
first  great  town  or  city,  for  every  purchaser,  shall  be  after  the  proportion  of 
ten  acre^  for  every  five  hundred  acres  purchased,  if  the  place  will  allow  it." 
In  John  Reed's  "  Explanation  of  the  Map  of  the  City  and  Liberties  of 
Philadelphia,"  1774,  we  find  the  following  surveys  of  liberty  lands  quoted  : 

••  John  Sharpless  in  his  own  right,  beginning  at  a  corner  of  Thomas  Philips'  land  ;  then 
N".  N.  W.,  56  perches  and  a  half;  then  E.  N.  E.,  45  perches  ;  then  S.  S.  E.,  56  perches  and  a 
half;  then  W.  S.  W.,  45  perches  to  the  beginning,  containing  sixteen  acres." 

•■  Nicholas  Scull  in  right  of  John  Sharpless,  beginning  at  a  White  Oak  in  the  line  of 
Thomas  Venable's  land;  then  S.  240  E.,  52  perches;  then  N.  650  and  a  half  E.,  45  perches; 
then  X.  2\°  W.,  52  perches;  then  S.  650  and  a  half  W.,  45  perches  to  the  beginning,  con- 
taining fourteen  acres  and  a  half." 

The  evidence  is  that  these  surveys  relate  to  the  same  land,  being 
probably  made  at  different  times,  yet  there  is  some  discrepancy  to  be 
noticed.  The  land  was  in  the  northern  part  of  the  city  at  or  near  a  place 
now  known  as  Hunting  Park.  On  Reed's  map  it  is  represented  that  the 
city*  lots  appurtenant  to  John  Sharples's  purchase  were  at  the  N.  W.  corner 
of  Front  and  Race  Streets,  extending  to  Second  Street,  and  at  the  S.  W. 
corner  of  Second  and  Race  Streets  ;  yet  in  the  book  of  "Explanation  "  it 
appears  that  three  lots  were  surveyed,  viz.,  20  feet  front  on  the  west  side  of 
Front  Street,  beginning  144  feet  north  of  Arch  Street,  surveyed  7  mo.  29, 
1692  ;  24  feet  front  south  side  of  Market  Street,  99  feet  east  of  Third 
Street,  surveyed  11  mo.  20,  1692  ;  also  a  lot  on  the  west  side  of  Front 
Street,  72^  feet  north  of  Race  Street — no  number  of  feet  or  date  of 
survey  given,  but  possibly  ijyi  feet  front. 

With  the  design  of  taking  up  the  rest  of  his  purchase,  John  Sharpies 
obtained  the  following  warrant  : 

"  By  the  Commissioners  empowered  to  grant  Lotts  and  Land  in  the 
Province  of  Pennsylvania  and  the  Territories  thereunto  belonging: 

At  the  Request  of  John  Sharpies,  Purchaser  of  one  thousand  acres, 
that  we  would  grant  him  to  take  up  the  remainder  of  his   Purchase  (being 

Acres)  in  the  County  of  Chester,    These  are  in  the  Proprietary  and 

Governor's  Name  to  Will  and  Require  thee  forthwith  to  survey  or  Cause 
to  be  Surveyed  unto  him  the  said  Number  of  acres  in  the  aforementioned 
County  where  not  already  taken  up,  he  seating  and  improveing  the  same 
within  six  months  from  the  date  of  survey  according  to  Regulation,  &  make

THE  SHARP  LESS  FAMILY. 


Returns  thereof  into  the  Secretary's  Office.     Given  at  Philad\  yc  26th  of 

3  mo.  1685. 

For  Thomas  Holmes,  Surveyor  Generall." 

The  execution  of  this  warrant  was  doubtless  delayed  and  ultimately 
prevented  by  the  sickness  and  death  of  John  Sharpies  sixteen  days  after 
the  above  date. 

We  have  seen  (p.  58)  that  he  made  his  will  before  coming  to  Penn- 
sylvania, leaving  it  to  be  proved  in  England,  and  if  any  copy  was  brought 
or  sent  over  here  it  has  been  lost.  An  inventory  of  his  estate  in  this 
country  was  filed  in  Philadelphia,  giving  the  valuation  of  the  various  items 
in  pounds,  shillings  and  pence.  The  document  is  somewhat  worn  and 
indistinct,  especially  at  the  folds,  but  the  following  is  as  nearly  correct  as 
it  can  be  deciphered  :

It  is  likely  there  was  a  Registry  of  Wills  established  in  Chester  County 
soon  after  the  organization  of  the  county,  as  it  is  known  there  was  in  Bucks 
County,  but  after  a  few  years  the  county  registries  were  discontinued  and 
all  wills  in  the  Province  were  registered  at  Philadelphia  until  about  17 14, 
when  offices  were  atrain  'established  in  the  other  counties.  The  records 
of  the  early  office  in  Chester  County  are  probably  lost. 


86  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

"Att  an  Orphans'  Court  held  att  Chester  ye  6th  day  of  ye  istmoneth, 
1687:" 

"Ordered,  that  Jane  Sharpies  give  in  Security  to  this  Court  faithfully 
and  Truely  to  discharge  her  trust  as  Administatrix  to  her  Deseaced 
Husband,  John  Sharpies." 

"Att  an  Orphans'  Court  held  ye  3d  day  in  ye  1st  Weeke  of  ye  Sth 
moneth,  16SS :" 

"Jane  Sharpies  being  called  came  into  Court  and  made  appear  by 
Thomas  Brasie  and  Jacob  Simcocke,  Register,  that  Shee  had  given  in 
Security  to  ye  Registry  of  this  County  according  to  law  in  the  behalfe  of  ye 
Children  of  her  late  Husband  John  Sharpies  Disceased." 

A  division  of  the  real  estate  among  the  sons  was  afterwards  made  by 
the  mediation  of  certain  friends,  as  will  be  noticed  hereafter. 

After  the  death  of  her  husband  the  widow  was  occasionally  appointed 
to  attend  to  the  business  of  the  Monthly  Meeting.  Thus,  8  mo.  13,  1690, 
Jane  Sharpies  and  Lydia  Carter  were  appointed  to  inquire  concerning 
Susanna  Churchman's  clearness  of  marriage  engagements — except  with 
Joseph  Coebourn  ;  8  mo.  3,  1692,  Mary  Hodgkins  and  Jane  Sharpies  are 
appointed  to  inquire  concerning  Elizabeth  Vernon,  who  declared  intentions 
of  marriage  with  Andrew  Job.  4  mo.  26,  1704:  "Bartholomew  Coppock 
&  Rebecca  Minchall  Laid  their  Intention  of  marrido-e  before  this  meetino- 
it  being  the  first  time  ;  the  meeting  orders  Jean  Sharpells  &  Jean  Edgg  to 
inquire  concerning  her  clearness  &  Report  the  same  to  the  next  months 
meeting." 

The  widow  probably  continued  to  reside  at  the  old  homestead,  with 
her  son  John,  until  her  death  in  1722. 


(3.)  John  Sharpies2,  John1,  born  at  Blakenhall,  Cheshire,  Eng.,. 
1 1  mo.  16,  1666  ;  died  near  Chester,  Penna.,  7  mo.  9,  1747  ;  married  9  mo. 
23,  i692,:::  at  a  meeting  at  John  Bowater's  house,  in  Middletown  township, 
Chester  (now  Delaware)  County,  Pa.,  to  Hannah  Pennell,  born  7  mo.  23, 
1673  ;  died  10  mo.  31,  1721. 

*  The  original  marriage  certificate,  13  by  16  inches  in  size,  of  which  we  have  a  phototype,  is  now  the 
property  of  Mary  Randolph,  733  Pine  St.,  Philadelphia.  It  may  be  remarked  of  this,  and  of  some  other  old 
documents,  that  a  critical  examination  finds  fewer  autographs  than  would  appear  at  first  sight.  The  birth  of 
Hannah  Pennell  is  stated  in  one  record  as  7  mo.  24,  1674,  but  this  conflicts  with  the  record  of  her  father's  family 
obtained  in  England.

Marriage    Certificate    John    Sharplbs    ro    Hannah    Penneli 


JOHN  SHARPLES-. 

The  proceedings  relative  to  the  marriage  are  thus  set  forth  in  the 
minutes  of  Chester  Monthly  Meeting: 

"At  a  monthly  meeting  held  at  Walter  ffaucet's  the  3d  of  y"  8th 
month.  1692  :  John  Sharpies  &  Hannah  Pennell,  belonging  to  this  meeting 
Layd  their  intentions  of  marriage  before  this  meeting,  being  the  first  time  : 
the  meeting  orders  Thomas  Vernon  &  Walter  ffaucet  to  inquier  concerning 
his  Cleareness,  &  Margaret  Minchall  &  Lydia  Carter  to  inquier  concerning 
her  Cleareness,  and  report  y'  same  yc  next  months  meeting." 

•  At  a  monthly  meeting  held  at  Walter  ffaucet's  the  7th  of  the  9th  month,

Robert  Pennell,  with  Hannah,  his  wife,  settled  in  Middletown  town- 
ship as  early  as  1 6S6.  He  came  from  Boulderton,  in  Nottinghamshire,  Eng- 
land, having  obtained  a  certificate  from  "  Friends  at  ffulbeck  "  the  third  day  of 
the  Fifth  month,  1684,  in  conjunction  with  Thomas  Garrett,  Hugh  Rodnell, 
Henry  Pennell  and  Richard  Parker,  with  their  wives  and  children,  intending 
to  transfer  themselves  beyond  the  seas  into  East  Jersey,  in  America. 

The  children  of  Robert  and  Hannah  Pennell  were  : 

Ann,  b. :  d.  5  mo.  1749  :  m.  Benjamin  Mendenhall,  1689.

88  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Robert  Pennell  was  appointed  constable  of  Midclletown  in  1687.  In 
1 69 1  he  purchased  250  acres  of  land  in  Edgmont  township,  and  264  acres 
in  1705,  on  the  north  of  Philip  Yarnall,  extending  from  the  present 
Howellville  to  the  Willistown  line.  He  died  about  the  year  1728.  His 
wife  died  12  mo.  4,  171 1,  aged  71  years;  both  active  members  of  Middle- 
town  Meeting. 

Joseph  Pennell  married  Alice  Garratt  12  mo.  25,  1701,  settled  in 
Edgmont  township,  and  had  the  following  children  : 

Hannah,  b.  n  mo.  4,  1702;  d.  6  mo.  21,  1728;  m.  Joseph  Jackson. 
Robert,  b.  6  mo.  20,  1704;  d.  1  mo.  9,  1726,  unmarried. 

Joseph,  b.  6  mo.  3,  1706  ;  d. 1728,  unmarried. 

Alice,  b.  8  mo.  2,  1709;  d.  young. 

Ann,  b.  8  mo.  2,  1711  ;  d.  1  mo.  25,  1S02  ;  m.  Cadwallader  Evans. 

Mary,  b. 1717  ;  d.  10  mo.  31,  1807  ;  m.  Moses  Meredith. 

The  name  of  John  Sharpies  appears  as  witness  to  deeds  as  early  as 
1687.  The  Yearly  Meeting  of  Friends  held  7  mo.  7,  1687,  issued  a 
testimony  against  selling  rum  or  other  strong  liquor  to  the  Indians,  and 
advised  "  that  this  our  Testimoney  may  be  entered  in  every  monthly  meeting 
booke,  and  Every  friend  belonging  to  their  monthly  meeting  to  subscribe 
the  same."  In  pursuance  of  this  advice  the  testimony  was  entered  in  the 
minutes  of  Chester  Monthly  Meeting  and  signed  by  about  seventy-five  of 
the  male  members,  but  it  is  known  that  some  of  those  whose  names  appear 
were  not  in  this  country  until  several  years  after  the  above  date.  Robert 
and  Joseph  Pennell  and  John  Sharpies  signed,  as  well  as  many  others  whose 
names  will  appear  in  this  record. 

In  the  division  of  his  father's  estate  the  homestead  fell  to  the  lot  of 
John  Sharpies,  as  appears  by  the  following  endorsement  on  the  patent  to 
his  father  for  240  acres  in  Ridley,  dated  5  mo.  29,  1684: 

"  §£ttOW  all  men  That  Jane  Sharpies,  widow  and  administrate  of  the 
within  named  John  Sharpies,  her  late  husband,  deceased,  for  the  natural 
Love  &  affeccon  which  she  beareth  to  her  son  John  Sharpies,  son  &  heir  to

Prior  to  this  John  Sharpies  had  purchased  from  Joshua  "Hastinges"  40 
acres  in  Xether  Providence,  adjoining  the  homestead,  by  deed  of  4  mo. 
10,  1691  ;  of  which  the  price  was  ^13.  This  deed  was  acknowledged  "in 
open  Court"  on  the  same  date,  and  on  4  mo.  12,  1695,  "Joshua  Hastings

date  the  Eleventh  day  of  June,  1695."  Although  this  with  other  land,  390 
acres  in  all,  had  been  surveyed  to  Hastings  in  right  of  a  purchase  made 
from  Penn  in  1681,  yet  it  was  not  patented  to  him  until  3  mo.  iS,  1702. 
The  next  day  Joshua  "  Hastinges"  of  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  yeoman,  for 
,{,^2,  (already  paid  ?)  in  silver  money,  executed  a  deed  to  John  Sharpies  for 
140  acres,  including  the  above  two  purchases.  On  the  same  date,  3  mo. 
19,  1702,  Hastings  conveyed  the  rest  of  his  land,  250  acres,  to  Robert 
Vernon,  who  in  the  same  year  conveyed  it  to  his  son  John  Vernon. 

March  10,  1696-7,  "David  Lloyd  Acknowledged  A  Deed  to  John 
Sharply  for  A  lott  In  Chester  Greene,  being  fourty  foote  front  towards  the 
River,  the  deed  bearing  date  ye  10th  of  ye  first  month,  1696-7."  This  lot 
was  assigned  by  John  Sharpies,  12  mo.  4,  1699,  to  his  brother  Joseph. 
William  Swarfur  (or  Swaffer),  for  ,£3-1  ~]s-\d  in  Pennsylvania  currency, 
paid  by  John  Sharpies  of  Ridley,  conveyed  to  the  latter,  May  26,  1706,  a 
tract  of  5  acres,  61  perches  in  Nether  Providence  adjoining  his  other  land. 
This  was  part  of  180  acres  taken  up  by  Rebecca  Caldwell  and  patented 
May  7.  1 704,  to  William  Swaffer,  who  had  married  her  daughter,  Mary 
Caldwell.  Aug.  26,  1712,  Jonas  Sandelands  of  Chester  borough,  and 
Mary  his  wife,  for  ^45,  conveyed  to  John  Sharpies  a  lot  in  Chester, 
beginning  at  a  post  on  the  west  side  of  Front  Street  "near  the  corner  of 
Jonas's  old  Logg  house,"  &c.     John  Sharpies  also  purchased  4  mo.    16,

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


1709,  from  Caleb  Pusey  and  Henry  Worley  a  tract  of  53  acres,  70  perches 
over  Ridley  Creek,  in  Chester  township,  immediately  opposite  the  home- 
stead, for  ,£56.  This  was  part  of  a  survey  made  in  1685  for  Thomas 
Brassey.  It  was  stipulated  in  the  deed  that  "the  said  John  Sharpies  nor 
his  heirs  shall  make  or  suffer  to  be  made  any  mill  Dam,  or  Diof2f  or  cause 
or  suffer  to  be  Digged  any  mill  race  or  Ditch  without  the  liberty  and 
concent  of  the  said  Caleb  Pusey  or  his  heirs  &  Henry  Worley  or  his  heirs." 
Pusey  and  Worley  being  interested  in  mills  doubtless  wished  to  repress 
competition  in  their  line  of  business.  The  following  document  explains 
itself: 

"  Pennsylvania  }  William    Penn.  absolute    Proprietary  and    Governor 

— '' — ■>  in  Chief  of  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  and  Counties 

<    seal.     >  annexed. 

At  the  Request  of  John  Sharpies  that  I  would  grant  him  to  take  up  three 
hundred  and  fourteen  acres  of  Land  in  right  of  his  Father,  John  Sharples's 
Purchase  of  one  thousand  acres,  being  the  remainder  untaken  up,  and  the 
full  Complement  thereof,  Liberty  Land  excepted, — These  are  to  require 
thee  to  survey  or  Cause  to  be  surveyed  unto  him  the  said  Number  of  three 
hundred  and  fourteen  acres,  according  to  the  method  of  Townships  by  me 
appointed,  in  the  first  Township  that  shall  be  laid  out  in  the  County  of 
Chester  after  the  date  hereof,  of  land  that  has  not  been  already  surveyed 
nor  taken  up  nor  is  concealed  nor  seated  by  the  Indians,  and  make  Returns 
thereof  into  my  Secretary's  Office.  Given  under  my  hand  &  seal  at 
Philada  the  21st  day  of  the  12th  Month,  1 700-1. 

"To  Edward  Penington,  Surveyor  Generall  of)  William  Penn." 

the  Province  of  Pennsylva  and  Territories."  ) 

It  may  be  remarked  that  William  Penn  had  returned  to  his  colony  in 
November,  1699,  intending  to  make  it  his  permanent  home,  but  in  1701  he 
was  forced  to  go  again  to  England  to  defend  his  proprietary  rights  against 
the  Crown,  and  sailed  from  Philadelphia  on  the  1st  of  9th  mo.  (November), 
never  to  return. 

Edward  Penington,  Surveyor  General,  issued  an  order,  reciting  the 
above  warrant,  directing  Henry  Hollingsworth,  a  deputy,  to  make  the 
required  survey,  and  the  latter  made  return  dated  3  mo.  2,  1701,  that  he 
had  surveyed  316  acres,  36  perches  in  pursuance  thereof.  This  was  located 
on  the   "South  side  of  Brandywine  "  in  what  is  now  East  Marlborough 


JOHN  SHARPIES'.  QI 

township.    Chester    County,    and    was    patented    July    23,     1701,    to    John 
Sharpies,  who  assigned  the  patent  6  mo.  (Aug.)  15,  1701,  to  Caleb  Pusey. 

The  original  purchase  of  1000  acres  appears  to  have  been  thus 
accounted  for — 40  acres  at  the  place  of  settlement,  330  acres  in  another 
tract  in  Nether  Providence,  300  in  Middletown,  314  in  Marlborough  and 
16  acres  of  liberty  land.  There  seems  to  be  some  correspondence  between 
the  variation  in  the  amount  of  liberty  land  mentioned  and  the  difference 
between  the  warrant  and  survey  of  the  Marlborough,  tract.  The  liberty 
land  was  probably  resurveyed  (to  Nicholas  Scull)  after  it  was  found  that 
the  Marlborough  survey  exceeded  the  warrant,  and  the  quantity  reduced 
to  1414  acres. 

In  1726,  John  Sharpies  conveyed  to  his  eldest  son,  the  3d  John,  155 
acres,  embracing  the  most  easterly  and  northerly  parts  of  his  land,  leaving 
a  greater  amount  to  be  disposed  of  by  his  will. 

In  public  affairs  he  appears  to  have  performed  his  part,  being  a 
member  of  the  Grand  Jury  as  early  as  1  mo.  8,  169 1-2,  at  a  time  when  the 
duties  of  that  body  embraced  those  since  assigned  to  county  commissioners 
and  road  jurors.  He  appears  again  in  this  capacity  9  mo.  30,  1703,  and 
7  mo.  27,  1709  ;  and  was  appointed  constable  for  Ridley  in  1700,  when  the 
usages  required  all  landholders  to  take  their  turns  in  township  offices. 

In  a  suit  at  Court,  Sept.  9,  1696,  James  Swaffer,  plaintiff,  and  Robert 
Woodward,  defendant,  "John  Sharply  being  Attested  deposeth  that  as  he 
was  going  Two  James  Swafars  mett  with  Robert  Woodyard  and  he  Asked 
me  to  goe  to  James  Swafards  with  him,  and  I  did  &  I  herd  Robert  Wood- 
yard  Promise  James  Swafard  To  Pay  him  forty  shillings,  &  on  the  morrow 
I  writt  the  bill  for  forty  shillings,  &  further  saith  not." 

In  the  affairs  of  the  Meeting  he  was  also  active.  Fourth  mo.  4,  1694, 
John  Sharpies  and  Andrew  Job  were  appointed  to  inquire  concerning 
William  "Swaford"  who  declared  his  intentions  of 'marriage  with  Mary 
"  Caudwell."  Tenth  mo.  29,  1701,  "Robert  Barber  &  John  Sharpies  is 
apoynted  to  be  ye  oversears  for  ye  meeting  of  Chester."  Sixth  mo.  25, 
1707,  "Chester  meeting  presents  John  Sharpies  and  Thomas  Vernon  for 
overseers  of  their  meeting,  which  this  meeting  accepts  of  untill  further 
order."  They  were  succeeded  by  John  Smith  and  James  Lownes.  5  mo. 
25,  1709.  Eighth  mo.  25,  17 14,  John  Sharpies  is  appointed  overseer  of 
Chester  Meeting  in  the  room  of  William  "Swarfford."  Twelfth  mo.  25, 
1  716,  John  Wright  and  Samuel  Jones  are  appointed  overseers  in  room  ol 
Caleb  Pusey  and  John  Sharpies,  who  desire  to  be  released  Ninth  mo.  25, 
J  71 7,  John   Sharpies   is  appointed  an  elder  in   the  room  of  Caleb  Pusey. 


92  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Second  mo.  25,  1  720,  he  is  appointed  overseer  in  the  room  of  William 
"Swarfard,"  deceased.  First  mo.  25,  1723,  John  Sharpies  and  others  are 
appointed  on  committee  to  visit  the  families  of  the  Monthly  Meeting  (David 
Lloyd,  John  Salkeld  and  Grace  Lloyd  being  the  others  from  Chester). 
Fifth  mo.  29,  1723,  he  is  succeeded  by  Thomas  Vernon  as  overseer. 
Second  mo.  27,  1724,  he  is  succeeded  by  Thomas  Verncn  as  one  of  the 
committee  to  visit  families.  Third  mo.  30,  1726,  he  is  replaced  on  the 
committee  to  visit  families,  and  reappointed  7  mo.  25,  1732,  and  4  mo.  30, 
1735.  Eighth  mo.  27,  1735,  Thomas  Cummings  is  appointed  elder  for 
Chester  Meeting  in  place  of  John  Sharpies,  released. 

On  3  mo.  25,  1 71 2,  Caleb  Pusey  and  Henry  Worley  conveyed  to 
Nicholas  Fairlamb,  John  Sharpies,  John  Smith,  Thomas  Vernon,  James 
Lownes  and  Joseph  Vernon  a  lot  of  103  perches,  104  feet,  in  Chester,  for 
the  use  of  the  meeting. 

First  mo.  25,  1703,  "  Eliz:  fhshborn  &  hannah  Sharpells  are  Chosen 
overseers  for  Chester  Meeting."  The  latter  is  succeeded  by  Katherine 
Fairlamb  6  mo.  25,  1707.  First  mo.  30,  1 7 1 3,  "Hannah  Sharpells  is 
Chosen  overseer  for  Chester  Meetino-  aloncr  with  Sarah  howell,  instead  of 
Lidia  Vernon."     She  is  succeeded  by  Grace  Lloyd  5  mo.  25,  1715. 

John  Sharpies  doubtless  continued  to  reside  in  the  substantial  stone 
house  built  about  1700,  and  still  standing,  until  his  death  in  1747.  The 
following  is  a  copy  of  his  last  will,  taken  from  the  original,  which  is  not 
very  well  written  :

The  "Cain"  mentioned  in  the  inventory  is  probably  the  one  now  in 
possession  of  Richard  L.  Sharpless,  of  Germantown,  and  the  silver  tankard 
is  supposed  to  have  been  included  in  the  ''plate  "  mentioned  in  the  inventory 
of  16S5. 

John  Salkeld  of  Chester,  a  noted  minister  among  Friends,  visited 
England  in  1726.  In  his  manuscript  diary  we  find  the  memorandum,  "the 
10,  of  ye  4  mo:  1726,  Left  with  Thos  Edes  two  pounds  five  shillings  for  a 
sett  of  Slays  for  John  Sharpies. 


CHESTER  MEETING. 

We  have  seen  that  in  16S1  it  was  agreed  that  a  meeting  should  be 
held  every  F"irst  day  of  the  week  at  the  Court  House  at  Upland,  and  this 
was  probably  continued  for  ten  or  more  years.  Fourth  mo.  6,  1 687,  it  was 
"Agreed  that  Bartholomew  Coppock,  James  Kenerly,  Randall  Vernon  cc 
Caleb  Pusey  do  agree  &  contract  with  such  workmen  or  workman,  as  thev 
shall  see  meet,  to  build  a  meeting  house  att  Chester  24  foot  square  &  10 
foot  high  in  ye  walls,  &  yl  ye  abovesaid  persons  do  come  themselves,  & 
the  said  workmen  they  agree  [with],  &  give  an  account  thereof  to  ye  next 
monthly  meeting."  Nothing  is  said  of  the  proposed  location  but  on  10 
mo.  5,  1687,  the  following  trustees  were  appointed,  viz.,  John  Simcock, 
Thomas  Brassey,  John  Bristow,  Caleb  Pusey,  Randall  Vernon,  Thomas 
Vernon,  Joshua  Hastings,  Mordecai  Maddock,  Thomas  Martin,  Richard 
ffew,  Walter  ffaucit  and  Edward  Carter.  To  these  Urin  Keen  (Joran  Kyn ) 
of  Chester,  for  ^10,  conveyed  a  lot  of  ground  in  Chester,  on  the  1st  of  1st 
month,  1687-8,  "to  the  use  &  behoof  of  the  sd  Chester  meeting  of  the 
people  of  God  called  Quakers." 

On  the  13th  of  8th  month,  1690,  the  following  persons  were  appointed 
to  receive  subscriptions  towards  building  a  meeting-house  in  Chester :  for 
Upper  Providence,  Randall  Malin  ;  for  Middletown,  John  Worrall  and 
David  (Vden  ;  for  Edo-emont,  Thomas  Worrilow  and  lames  Swaffer  ;  for 
Springfield,  George  Maris,  the  younger,  and  Mordecai  Maddock  ;  for 
Marple,  Thomas  Pearson  and  Josiah  Taylor.  The  following  subscription 
list,  without  date,  and  with  some  of  the  amounts  illegible,  is  believed  to 
represent  the  result  of  their  labors :

Second  mo.  6,  1 691  :  "  Its  agreed  by  this  meeting  that  John  Bristow  and 
Caleb  Pusey  do  forthwith  agree  with  &  Imploy  workmen  in  the  Building 
ye  meeting  house  at  Chester  with  stone,  on  the  place  y1  was  formerly

Bristow  &  Caleb  Pusey  do  give  account  of  what  they  have  done  at  ye  next

for  y*  ground  it  stands  on,  at  Chester,  &  make  returne  of  their  proceedings 
to  the  next  months  meeting."  This  will  be  better  understood  when  it  is 
stated  that  in  this  year  Thomas  Powell  had  joined  in  the  defection  from 
Friends,  caused  by  George  Keith,  and  afterward  became  an  Episcopalian. 
First  mo.  5.  1693-4:  "This  meeting  appoints  John  Simcocke,  Randall 
Vernon,  Walter  ffaucet,  Rob'.  Barber,  R.  Carter  to  meet  John  Bristow  & 
Caleb  Pusey  in  order  to  make  up  ye  accounts  wlh  ym  concerning  ye  meeting

FIRST   MEETING   HOUSE   AT  CHESTER,   BUILT    1693. 

This,  the  first  meeting-house  in    Chester,  was  doubtless  completed  in 
1693.     ^  >s  not  now   standing,  but  our  picture  of  it   is  taken   from   Dr. 


IOO  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Smith's  History  of  Delaware  County.  In  1736  a  larger  meeting-house  was 
built  on  another  lot  and  this  property  was  sold  to  Edward  Russell,  who 
probably  added  an  attic  story  and  the  back  building  of  brick,  in  order  to 
adapt  it  to  use  as  a  dwelling  house. 

After  the  division  in  the  Society,  in  1827,  what  is  known  as  the 
Orthodox  portion  built  a  new  meeting-house  on  land  given  for  that 
purpose  by  Enos  Sharpless,  at  Shoemakerville,  a  suburb  of  Chester.  Eor 
more  than  one  hundred  and  sixty  years  the  meetings  of  Chester, 
Springfield,  Providence  and  Middletown  have  formed  what  is  called 
Chester  Monthly  Meeting,  which  is  the  meeting  of  record.  The  Monthly 
Meetings  of  Chester,  Darby,  Concord  and  Goshen  formed  Chester  (now 
Concord)  Quarterly  Meeting,  a  branch  of  Philadelphia  Yearly  Meeting.

Holborne,  in  the  county  of  Middlesex,  England,  and  settled  in  Nether 
Providence  about  the  year  1685.  He  was  an  earnest  member  of  the 
Society  of  Friends,  and  the  Monthly  Meeting  was  sometimes  held  at  his 


J  A. WES  SHARPIES'.  IOI 

house.  He  had  been  subjected  to  heavy  fines  and  imprisonment  in  his 
native  country  for  refusing  to  act  contrary  to  his  conscientious  scruples, 
and  on  one  occasion  was  subjected  to  a  public  trial.  He  died  5  mo.  10, 
1 7 1  1 ,  aged  about  sixty-five  years.  The  following  are  believed  to  have 
been  his  children — certainly  all  except  Sarah  and  Joseph :

The  Bible  of  James  Sharpies,  a  large  folio,  in  a  much  dilapidated 
condition,  is  now  in  possession  of  John  Leedom,  of  Haverford  township, 
through  his  late  wife  Hannah  Worrall6  (Mary5,  Nathaniel4,  James3,  James2). 
The  inscriptions  show  that  it  was  bought  from  Walter  Faucet,  evidently  by 
Joseph  Sharpies,  whose  birth  at  "  Hadderton  "  is  twice  recorded  therein. 
As  Joseph's  wife  was  the  owner  of  a  Bible  before  her  marriage  it  is 
presumed  that  Joseph  disposed  of  this  to  his  brother  James  about  that 
time.  It  contains  the  births  of  James,  at  "  Hadderton,"  and  of  his  wife  and 
children,  but  a  part  of  the  latter  has  been  torn  off.  The  records  of  the  2d 
James  are  wanting. 

"At  a  monthly  meeting  held  at  John  edge's  one  ye  last  of  ye  11th 
month,  1697-8:  Jams  Sharpies  &  Marey  edge  laid  thayr  intention  before 
this  meetin  of  taking  each  other  as  husband  &  wife,  this  being  ye  first  time, 
thayre  parants  being  heare  &  consenting:  tho:  Minshall  &  robart  Vernon 
is  opoynted  to  make  inquirie  conserning  his  clearnes  &  mak  report  to 
ye  nixt  meeting  thereof."  The  women  appointed  Mary  Hoskins  and 
Phebe  Peckow  to  inquire  concerning  Mary  Edge. 

"At  a  monthly  meeting  held  at  robart  Vernon's  one  ye  28th  of  ye  12th 
month,  1697-8  :  Jams  Sharpies  and  Marey  Edge,  both  belongin  to  this 
meeting,  proposed  thayr  intentions  of  taking  each  other  as  husband  &  wife, 
this  being  ye  second  time,  &  inquirey  being  made  &  nothing  appearing  to 
obstruct  thay  proceeding  with  thayr  sd  intentions  thy  are  therefor  left  to 
thayr  liberty  to  proceed  according  to  ye  order  of  truth." 

The  marriage  certificate,  which  was  recorded,  shows  that  James 
Sharpies  of  Neither   Providence,  yeoman,  and   Mary  Edge,  daughter  of

Certificate  for  Ralph  Lewis  from  Treverig  Glamorganshire,  South 
Wales,  10th  of  7th  mo.  1683  (after  one  for  John  ap  Bevan)  : 

In  like  maner  doe  we  hereby  certifie  unto  those  concerned  herin,  That  Ralph  Lewis, 
\vth  his  family,  passing  ye  same  time  with  our  frind  John  ap  Bevan,  for  Pensylvania,  belonging 
to  our  meeting  nere  Trevrigg,  Is  such  a  man  knowne  unto  us  to  be  of  an  Innocent  life  & 
conversation,  walking  amo'gst  us  as  become  one  prophefsing  the  trueth ;  not  knowing  by  him, 
sine  we  had  acquaintance  together  in  the  Gospell,  any  failing  or  Infirmitie  wherby  ye  trueth 
did  in  the  least  suffer  by  him;  and  that  is  much  to  our  comfort  wherever  we  find  honestie  in 
the  Inward,  the  token  of  aright  Speritt,  though  the  prsent  Atainm'  might  be  but  small.  And 
thus  of  him  can  we  truly  Judge,  And  wth  all  this  much  can  we  Certifie,  y'  in  the  outward, 
when  passing  from  us,  he  was  a  freeman  and  [clear  of]  Ingagments  with  any,  And  that  we  are 
Certaine  noe  man  Could  demand  aught  from  him,  &  that  he  owed  to  any  nothing  but  love,  in 
the  wch  the  Lord  p  serve  him;  as  together  soe  afunder.

JAMES  SHARPLES*.  1 03 

William  Lewis,  of  Eglwys  Han,  Glamorganshire,  a  brother  of  Ralph, 
with  his  wife,  Ann,  and  family,  came  over  about  the  year  1686,  and  settled 
in  the  north-eastern  part  of  Haverford  township,  afterward  removing-  to 
Newtown  township.  Chester  (now  Delaware)  County.  The  following  copy 
of  a  letter  is  from  a  somewhat  indistinct  photograph  of  the  original,  said  to 
have  been  in  possession  of  the  late  Dr.  George  Smith,  of  Upper  Darby, 
whose  widow  is  a  descendant  from  Ralph  Lewis : 
"Dear  Brother  Ralph   Lewi^  : 

My  Love  unto  thee  and  all  thy  family,  hoping  y'  thou  art  in  good 
health  as  I  am  at  this  prsent  writing :  thy  Brothers  and  thy  to  sisters  and

James  Sharpies  was  appointed  constable  for  Nether  Providence  March 
9,  1696-7,  12  mo.  (Feb.)  29,  1703-4,  and  12  mo.  27,  1704-5;  was  a 
member  of  the  Grand  Jury  10  mo.  13,  1698,  12  mo.  23,  1702-3,  and  9  mo. 
(Nov.)  28,  1 7 10.  Thomas  Price,  servant  to  John  Martin,  was  assigned  in 
Court,  to  James  Sharpies  May  27,  1707. 

At  a  monthly  meeting  at  John  Edge's,  1 1  mo.  31,  1703-4,  "Providence 
meeting  presents  Thomas  Minshall  and  James  Sharpies  to  bee  overseers 
for  there  meeting,  which  this  meets  approves  of."  Robert  Vernon  and 
John  Edge  were  appointed  to  succeed  them,  1  mo.  25,  1706,  and  these 
were  followed  by  Thomas  Minshall  and  Joseph  Sharpies,  10  mo.  30,  1706. 
James  Sharpies  was  again  appointed,  6  mo.  27,  171 2,  in  room  of  Thomas 
Minshall,  and  was  succeeded  by  John  Edge,  9  mo.  30,  1 7 1 3. 

In  the  year  17 16  the  Friends  of  Chester  Meeting  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  Monthly  Meeting  "the  Inconvenience  of  friends  Comeing 
so  untimely  together  at  Burials,"  and  the  concern  was  forwarded  to  the 
Quarterly  Meeting,  followed  the  next  year  by  another  respecting  "the 
frequent  Carrying  about  of  Cups  &  Glasses  with  Liquor  at  Burials."  In 
1 719  the  following  advice  was  issued  by  the  Yearly  Meeting: 

"And  whereas  at  some  burials  where  people  may  come  far,  there  may  be  occasion 
of  some  refreshment,  yet  let  that  be  with  such  moderation,  &  the  Behaviour  of  all  friends 
be  with  such  Gravity  &  Solidity  as  becomes  the  occasion ;  and  if  any  appear  otherwise 
let  such  be  reproved  &  dealt  with,  as  advised  in  case  of  misdemeanors  or  Indecencys  at 
Marriages;  and  it  may  be  farther  noted  that  any  Excess  in  this  case,  &  in  making  so  solemn 
a  time  as  this  ought  to  be  &  Really  is,  in  its  own  nature,  to  appear  as  a  festival,  must 
be  burdensome  and  Greivous  to  a  sober  Christian  mind,  which  will  of  course  be  under  a 
far  different  Exercise.     At  such  times  friends  are  desired  therefore  to  have  great  care  therein, 


/AMES  SHARPIES'.  l0y 

■S:  use  all  Endeavours  every  where,  more  &  more,  to  break  from  and  avoid  that  offensive 
&  unsuitable  custom  of  large  Provision  of  Strong  drink,  cakes,  &c,  &c,  the  formal  & 
repeated  servings  &  offers  thereof.  This  Indecent  &  Indiscreet  Custom  &  Practice  has 
run  to  such  excess  that  Invitations  being  made  to  greater  Numbers  than  their  own  or 
neighbours'  houses  could  contain,  the  very  Streets  &  open  Places  are  made  use  of  for 
handing  about  burn'd-wine  &  other  strong  liquors;  and  besides  the  Indecencies  above 
mentioned  (the  custom  of  waiting  for  the  last  that  will  please  to  come,  tho'  never  so 
unseasonable)  and  the  formality  of  repeated  servings  to  each,  breaks  in  upon  another 
decent  order  among  Friends,  of  Keeping  to  &  observing  the  time  appointed." 


In  1729  the  subject  was  again  recommended  to  the  attention  of 
subordinate  meetings  which  were  advised  to  appoint  "  elder  friends  to 
attend  on  burials  as  is  already  done  on  marriages  to  see  the  same  be 
orderly,"  &c.  Accordingly  at  Chester  Monthly  Meeting,  10  mo.  29,  1729, 
•'  Chester  and  Providence  Friends  have  brought  the  names  of  two  friends 
each  to  attend  at  Burials,  to  see  that  good  order  be  kept  and  that  the  time 
appointed  for  leaving  the  house  with  the  corps  be  kept  to,  viz.,  for  Chester 
Thomas  Vernon  and  Thomas  Dell ;  for  Providence,  James  Sharpies  and 
Henry  Miller.  Springfield  and  Middletown  are  desired  to  bring  the 
names  of  two  for  each,  to  our  next  meeting." 

Those  chosen  for  Springfield  were  Samuel  Levis,  Jur.,  and  Jonathan 
Haycock,  and  for  Middletown,  Philip  Yarnall  and  Peter  Hunter. 

Ninth  mo.  25,  1706:  "This  meeting  Chooses  Jean  Edgg  &  Mary 
Sharpells,  overseers  for  providence  meeting."  These  were  succeeded, 
2  mo.  25,  1709,  by  Elinor  Vernon  and  Sarah  Crockson,  and  they  in  turn 
by  Mary  Malin  and  Jean  Edge,  4  mo.  26,  1710.  Sixth  mo.  28,  1710: 
"Mary  Sharpells  is  chosen  to  stand  overseer  for  providence  meeting  along 
Avith  Jean  Edgg,  instead  of  Mary  Malin."  They  were  succeeded,  7  mo.  24, 
171 1,  by  Elinor  Vernon  and  Rebecca  Minshall,  and  4  mo.  29,  171 3,  "Mary 
Sharpells  is  chosen  overseer  for  providence  Meetting  along  with  Abigail 
Woodward,  instead  of  Rebecca  Minshall."  She  was  succeeded,  4  mo.  25, 
1717,  by  Sarah  Miller,  and  again  chosen,  11  mo.  27,  1723,  instead  of 
Mary  Camm. 

Mary  Sharpies  and  Alice  Pennell  were  appointed  2  mo.  25,  1726,  to 
join  some  men  Friends  in  visiting  families.  Mary  was  succeeded,  1  mo.  29, 
1 73 1,  by  Sarah  Dicks,  as  overseer,  and  again  chosen,  4  mo.  28,  1736, 
instead  of  Elizabeth  Taylor,  and  Susanna  Malin  took  her  place  2  mo.  30, 
1739.  She  was  appointed  to  this  station  for  the  last  time,  10  mo.  29.  1744. 
and  was  succeeded  by  Judith  Broom,  7  mo.  25,  1749. 

In  the  division  of  his  father's  estate  the  land  in  Nether  Providence  was 


IOS  THE  SHARP  LESS  FAMILY. 

awarded  to  James  Sharpies.  This  had  been  patented  to  his  father  5  mo. 
28,  16S4,  for  330  acres,  extending  from  "Providence  Great  Road"  to 
Crum  Creek.  Wallingford  Station  is  upon  the  south-westerly  part  of  this 
land.  At  a  Court  held  4  mo.  9,  1696,  "Jeane  Sharply  and  her  son  John 
Sharply  Acknowledged  A  Deed  unto  James  Sharplye  for  three  hundred  and 
thirty  Acres  of  land  lying  in  Neither  Providence,  the  deed  bearing  Date 
the  ninth  day  of  June,  1696."  For  some  reason  not  ascertained,  but 
probably  on  account  of  the  inaccuracy  of  the  first  survey,  another  patent 
was  granted  to  James  Sharpies,  10  mo.  31,  1701.  Of  this  land  he  and  his 
wife  conveyed  100  acres  to  their  son  James,  in  1729,  and  the  remainder  he 
devised  to  his  wife.

to  God  Therefore,  Calling  unto  mind  the  mortality  of  my  Body  and 
Knowing  that  it  is  appointed  for  all  men  once  to  Dye,  do  make  and  ordain 
this  to  be  my  Last  Will  and  Testament  (that  is  to  say) :  Principally  and 
first  of  all  I  Give  &  Recomend  mv  Soul  into  the  Hands  of  God  that  Gave 
h,  and  my  Body  I  Recomend  to  the  Earth,  to  be  Buried  in  a  Christian  like 
and  Decent  manner,  at  the  Discretion  of  my  Executors  herein  after  named, 
and  as  touching  such  Worldly  Estate  wherewith  it  hath  pleased  God  to 
Bless  me  in  this  Life,  I  Give,  Devise  and  Dispose  of  the  same  in  ye  follow- 
ing manner  and  form. 

Imprimis,  I  Give  and  Bequeath  unto  Mar)',  my  Dearly  Beloved  Wife, 
all  my  Estate,  both  Real  and  Personal,  to  Her,  her  Heirs  and  Assigns  for 
Ever,  She  paying  five  shillings  to  Each  of  my  Children  (that  is  to  say),  to

Sharpless  as  his  Last  Will  and 
Testament  in  ye  Presence  of  us  the 
Subscribers,  viz: 

Thomas  Vernon, 

Joseph  Vernon, 

John  Needham." 

The  foregoing  will  was  proven  Oct.  13,  1746,  by  Thomas  and  Joseph 
Vernon,  on  their  affirmations.  It  shows  entire  confidence  on  the  part  of 
the  testator  that  his  wife  would  deal  justly  toward  their  children,  yet  the 
ideas  of  parental  justice  in  that  day  might  not  be  sanctioned  in  this.  It 
appears  that  the  eldest  son  had  already  received  nearly  one-half  the  land 
as  a  gift,  in  accordance  with  the  ancient  law  of  primogeniture,  which  many 
of  the  early  settlers  upheld.

On  the  last  date  a  petition  to  the  Orphans'  Court  was  presented  by 
James  Sharpless,  Joseph  Garrett,  Isaac  Weaver,  William  Pennell,  Jur., 
Richard  Gorman,  Lydia  Vernon  and  Sarah  Woodward,  asking  for  a  division 
of  the  real  and  personal  estate  of  Mary  Sharpies.  A  jury  appointed  in 
accordance  with  this  petition  simply  reported,  Feb.  26,  1755,  that  the  real 
estate  could  not  be  divided  without  spoiling  the  whole,  whereupon  a  second 
petition  was  presented  by  Joseph  Garrett,  Richard  Gorman,  Lydia  Vernon, 


/AMES  SHARri.ES?.  I  I5 

Sarah  Woodward.  Isaac  Weaver  and  William  Pennell,  Jr.,  asking  not  only 
for  a  division  but  that  the  inquest  should  also  consider  what  had  been 
advanced  to  some  of  the  heirs  in  the  lifetime  of  the  decedent.  A  jury 
composed  of  John  Hannum,  Joseph  Gilpin,  William  Trimble,  Joseph  Cloud, 
William  Walter.  John  Bennett,  James  Dilworth,  John  Brinton,  Moses 
Palmer,  Joseph  Eavenson,  Samuel  Osborn  and  John  Taylor  made  report 
Apr.  26,  1755,  that  they  "find  ye  Intestate  Died  seised  of  a  Messuage  and 
plantation  of  ffifty  five  acres  of  Land  in  ye  sd  Township  afforsd,  of  ye  value 
of  1 37-10-0  ;  and  also  of  a  personal  Estate  in  ye  hands  of  James  Sharpless, 
to  ye  value  of  34-3-7  ;  all  which  we  find  subject  to  a  Divison  amongst 
y*  five  Daughters  of  ye  Intestate  or  their  representives,"  &c.  A  division 
of  the  real  estate  between  them  not  being  advisable  they  had  agreed  to 
expose  it  to  public  sale.  "  And  further  we  do  find  that  James  Sharpless 
y*  Eldest  son  of  y°  Intestate,  haveing  been  advanced  by  ye  Intestate  in  her 
life  time  by  40  Acres  of  Land  to  ye  value  of  100  pounds  and  also  we  find 
that  David  Sharpless,  another  son  of  ye  Intestate  has  been  advanced  100 
acres  of  Land  to  ye  value  of  250  pounds  ;  all  which  we  submit  to  ye  wisdom 
of  ye  Court."' 

From  this  it  appears  that  the  eldest  son  received,  in  all,  200  acres  of 
land,  and  the  youngest  100  acres,  while  their  sisters'  shares  in  the  estate 
amounted  to  about  /  6-1 6-8,  each,  if  the  real  estate  were  sold  at  the 
valuation  set  upon  it. 


PROVIDENCE  MEETING. 


At  the  first  Quarterly  Meeting  of  Friends  held  in  Chester  County,  i  2 
mo.  4,  1683-4:  "at  This  quarterly  meateing  There  was  brought  in  yc

Providence  Meeting  is  also  mentioned  3  mo.  4,  1685. 
"Thomas  Minshall's  Meeting"  is  mentioned  as  early  as  2  mo.  2,  16SS 
(see  p.  82),  when  it  was  doubtless  held  at  his  house  in  Nether  Providence. 
At  a  Quarterly  Meeting  held  at  Walter  Faucet's,  9  mo.  2,  1691  : 
"Ordered  by  this  meeting  that  from  henceforth  a  monthly  Collection  be 
settled  in  each  perticular  first  day's  meeting,  and  two  appointed  to  receive 
them  and  give  account  to  the  querterly  meeting." 

At  Chester  Monthly  Meeting  10  mo.  7,  1691  :  "It  being  agreed  by 
the  Last  Quarterly  Meeting  that  a  monthly  Collection  be  settled  in  each 
perticuler  first  day's  meeting,  wch  is  to  be  upon  the  Last  weekly  first 
day  of  each  month  by  order  of  this  meeting,  the  persons  to  receive  it 
are,  for  Chester,  Randell  Vernon,  Caleb  Pusey  ;  and  Thomas  Minchall  & 
Bartholomew  Coppock  for  their  meeting,  and  Robert  Burrow,  John 
Boweter  for  their  meeting." 

First  mo.  7,  1 691-2:  "Ordered  by  this  meeting  y'  from  henceforth 
Walter  ffaucet  receive  all  ye  respective  collections  belonging  thereto,  & 
that  ye  persons  yl  receive  it  at  each  meeting  either  bring  or  order  it  into 
his  hands  to  ever)'  monthly  meeting,  and  yl  ye  said  Walter  pay  away  none 
of  it  but  by  ye  consent  of  this  meeting,  and  that  an  account  be  kept  by  him 
in  this  Book,  of  what  he  receives  and  what  he  payes,  and  give  an  account 
thereof  to  every  monthly  meeting." 

This  custom,  so  common  in  other  churches,  of  making  collections  in

PROVIDENCE  MEETING. 


117 


First-day  meetings,  was  continued  by  Friends  here  for  at  least  fourteen 
years,  but  there  are  probably  very  few  of  the  present  generation  who  are 
aware  that  it  ever  existed.  From  the  accounts  of  Walter  Faucet,  treasurer, 
and  his  successor,  Randall  Vernon,  we  learn  the  amounts  contributed  by 
the  different  meetings,  and  it  appears  that  in  the  nth  month,  1692,  Thomas 
Minshall's  collections  were  six  shillings,  seven  pence.  After  this  date  the 
receipts  from  "Thomas  Minshall's  Meeting"  are  regularly  reported  until 
12  mo.  24,  1  700-1,  when  the  name  of  Providence  is  substituted. 

At  a  Quarterly  Meeting  held  at  Thomas  Vernon's  3  mo.  4,  1696: 
'•  This  meeting  consents  y'  the  meeting  at  Bartholomew  Coppocks  be 
Setteled  ever)-  first  and  3d  day,  and  at  Thomas  Minchall's  every  first  &  4th 
day,  and  at  John  Bowater's  ever)- first  and  5th  day."  Third  mo.  2,  1698: 
"Chester  monthly  meeting  being  called,  Chester  ffriends  desiering  the 
■weekly  meeting  to  be  at  Randell  Vernon's  the  second  5th  day  of  each 
month  This  meeting  doth  alowe  it.  Its  also  agreed  that  the  meeting  at 
Thomas  Minchalls  do  joyne  with  them  that  day.  Its  also  agreed  that  the 
meeting  at  Bartholomew  Coppock's  on  the  3d  day  be  on  ye  5th  day." 

Twelfth  mo.  6,  1698-9:  "The  friends  belonging  to  Thomas  Minshall's 
meeting  propose  their  Intention  of  building  a  meeting  house  at  the  burying 
ground  by  Tho  :  Powell's :  This  meeting  upon  Consideration  thereof  think 
fitt  to  deferr  the  matter  untill  the  next  Quarterly  meeting,  It  being  the 
sence  of  this  meeting  that  no  meeting  house  be  hereafter  built  upon  any 
new  situation  without  ye  advice  &  Consent  of  the  Quarterly  meeting." 
"This  meeting  appoints  Caleb  Pusey,  Thomas  Worth,  John  Hood,  George 
Peirce,  Nicholas  Pyle  &  Robert  Carter  to  meet  with  those  ffriends  belonging 
to  Thomas  Minchall's  meeting,  to  view  &  consider  of  the  most  convenient 
place  where  to  sett  the  above  proposed  meeting  house." 

Third  mo.  1,  1699:  "According  to  the  order  &  request  of  ye  Last 
Quarterly  meeting  The  friends  appointed  to  inspect  into  &  consider  of  the 
most  Conveniant  place  to  build  the  meeting  house,  to  answer  that  of  Tho: 
Minchall's,  Do  make  return  under  their  hands  that  it  is  their  sence  that  at 
the  farther  end  of  Thomas  Minchall's  Land,  by  ye  high  roade  side,  is  the 
most  Conveniant  place  for  that  service  &  accordingly  this  meeting  approves 
of  ye  same." 

Sixth  mo.  5,  1700:  "Ordered  that  the  next  Quarterly  meeting  be  held 
at  the  new  meeting  house  in  nether  Providence." 

Ninth  mo.  4,  1700:  "Nether  Providence  ffriends  request  that  their

their  new  meeting  house,  which  this  meeting  alowes  off." 


I  IS  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Third  mo.  12,  1701:  "  Providence  meeting  requesting  that  whereas 
their  weekly  meeting  being  the  second  5th  day  of  each  month  at  Randal 
Vernon's,  it  may  be  removed  to  the  new  meetinghouse,  which  this  meeting 
doth  alow  off." 

The  first  house  was  probably  of  logs.  In  1723  a  committee  was 
appointed  to  enlarge  the  building  for  the  accommodation  of  the  Quarterly 
Meeting,  they  being  David  Lloyd,  John  Wright,  Richard  Maris,  George 
Maris,  Henry  Miller,  Philip  Yarnall,  John  Mendenhall  and  William  Pennell. 
Perhaps  this  was  not  accomplished  very  soon,  but  on  6  mo.  29,  1726,  John 
Wright  requested  to  have  the  accounts  examined,  and  from  the  report 
there  appeared  to  be  due  to  John  Owen  eight  pounds,  twelve  shillings. 
On  11  mo.  30,  1726-7,  David  Lloyd,  Thomas  Vernon,  Samuel  Levis,  Junr., 
Isaac  Minshall,  Peter  Dicks,  Daniel  Williamson,  George  Smedley  and 
Bartholomew  Coppock  were  appointed  to  have  a  gallery  erected  for  the 
accommodation  of  laro-e  gfatherincrs. 

Eighth  mo.  26,  1754:  "It  appearing  to  this  meeting  that  this  meeting 
House  Is  very  much  out  of  Repair,  and  in  order  to  Have  it  Repaired  it  is 
agreed  by  said  meeting  That  John  Sharpless,  Joseph  Hoskins,  Isaac  Howell, 
William  Fell,  Peter  Dicks,  Peter  Taylor,  John  Haycock,  George  Smedley 
and  Nathan  Yarnall  be  appointed  to  agree  with  Workmen  to  build  ye  Old 
End  with  stone  and  such  necessary  Repairs  on  ye  Inside  as  They  shall 
Think  proper,  and  to  make  Report  of  ye  cost  and  Charge  when  Done, — 
Providence  friends  agreeing  To  pay  a  Quarter  part  Thereof;  and  this 
meeting  agrees  to  keep  ye  next  monthly  meeting  at  Chester  at  ye  usuall 
Time." 

At  the  next  meeting  the  masons  had  sent  in  their  account  but  it  was 
not   satisfactory,   but    on    11    mo.    25,    1754,    it    was    reported    settled    at 

/15:  17-9- 

On  8  mo.  30,  1773,  it  was  agreed  "to  repair  the  part  of  the  Meeting 
House  where  the  Men  Friends  now  hold  their  Monthly  Meeting,  during 
the  summer  season,  to  make  it  more  suitable  for  Winter,  as  followeth:  To 
lay  a  Floor  overhead,  provide  a  stove,  set  it  up  in  the  said  apartment,  and 
likewise  that  part  of  the  Roof  over  the  same,"  &c. 

Third  mo.  2S,  1S14:  It  was  proposed  to  build  a  meeting  house  at 
Providence,  65  by  35  feet  in  size,  at  an  estimated  cost  of  $1500,  by  using 
the  old  materials;  and  on  5  mo.  30,  181 4,  "It  is  now  agreed  to  fix  the 
back  wall  of  the  House  midway  on  the  present  boundary  of  the  Grave 
Yard."  Afterward  it  was  concluded  to  have  the  building  three  feet  higher 
than    first   proposed,   at    the  additional  cost,  by  contract,  of  $106.     The 


JOSEPH  SHARPIES'.  M9 

Monthly  Meeting  was  held  at   Middletown  during  the  time  of  rebuilding, 
but  in  the  new  house  again,  i  mo.  30,  18 15. 

The  place  proposed  in  1698,  for  building,  near  Thomas  Powell's,  was 
doubtless  at  what  is  called  "Sandy  Bank"  graveyard,  in  Upper  Providence, 
close  by  the  present  water  reservoir  of  Media.  This  graveyard  was  bought 
from  Powell,  and  had  he  not  joined  the  Keithites  perhaps  the  meeting 
house  might  have  been  built  there.  The  earliest  deed  has  not  been  found, 
but  on  1  mo.  25,  171 7,  Randall  Malin  and  Peter  Taylor,  trustees,  conveyed 
the  ground  to  James  Sharpies,  Isaac  Minshall,  Henry  Miller,  Jacob  Edge, 
Jacob  Vernon  and  Edward  Woodward.  The  last  named  and  survivor  of 
these  is  said  to  have  executed  a  deed  to  new  trustees,  1  mo.  7,  1 74S-9,  but 
on  1  mo.  27,  17S3,  it  was  represented  that  the  former  trustees  (of  171 7) 
were  all  deceased  and  Thomas  Smedley,  Roger  Dicks,  Ambrose  Taylor 
and  Samuel  Malin  were  appointed  to  succeed  them. 

Thomas  Minshall  and  wife  Margaret,  Nov.  19,  1726,  conveyed  to 
Henry  Miller,  James  Sharpies  and  Edward  Woodward  one  acre,  on  which 
the  meeting  house  was  located,  and  their  son  Isaac  Minshall,  with  Rebecca, 
his  wife,  on  the  following  day,  conveyed  to  the  same  trustees  an  acre  of 
land  adjoining,  for  a  burial  ground.  These  three  trustees  executed  a  deed 
Nov.  24,  1726,  for  the  two  acres  to  John  Camm,  Peter  Taylor,  Peter  Dicks, 
James  Sharpless,  Junr.,  Caleb  Cowpland  and  William  Surman.  In  1783 
these  were  all  deceased,  and  Providence  Meeting  appointed  Thomas 
Smedley,  Roger  Dicks,  Ambrose  Taylor  and  Samuel  Malin  "in  their 
steads  of  &  for  both  the  said  Lotts  of  Ground,  so  long  as  they  shall 
continue  in  Membership  with  our  religious  Society."  The  title  to  the  two 
lots  being  found  defective  an  Act  of  Assembly  was  passed  March  2S,  18 14, 
vesting  the  property  in  certain  trustees.

in  Middletown  township,  as  appears  by  the  family  Bible. 

At  Chester  Monthly  Meeting,  1  mo.  27,  1704,  Joseph  Sharpies 
proposed  his  intention  to  marry  Lydia  Lewis,  daughter  to  Ralph  Lewis 
of  Haverford  Monthly  Meeting.  Thomas  Minshall  and  Randall  Malin  were 
appointed  to  make  inquiry  concerning  him.  At  the  next  meeting,  2  mo.  24, 
1704,  a  certificate  of  clearness  was  granted  him.  The  following  is  a  copy 
of  his  marriage  certificate,  as  recorded  by  Haverford  Monthly  Meeting  : 

Whereas,  Joseph  Sharpies,  of  neather  Providence  in  ye  county  of  Chester,  yeoman,  & 
Lidya  Lewis  of  haverford  in  ye  county  aforesd,  Spinster,  having  declared  their  Intentions  of

At  a  Court  held  4  mo.  9,  1696:  "Jeane  Sharply  and  her  son  John

This  deed  never  having  been  recorded  it  is  thought  proper  to  give  it 
here  in  full : 

"  Know  all  men  That  Jane  Sharpies,  widow  &  administrate  of  Jon

JOHX    SHARPLES.  SEAL. 


The  seal  used  on  this  occasion  represents  something  like  a  rose  tree 
with  S  on  one  side  of  the  stem  and  B  on  the  other.  It  may  have 
belonged  to  the  Blunston  family. 

This  land  was  surveyed  by  Charles  Ashcom,  2  mo.  (April)  9,  1684, 
by  virtue  of  a  warrant  dated  7  mo.  1,  1683,  and  the  above  description, 
taken  from  the  patent  of  1684,  agrees  with  the  surveyor's  return. 

In  1696  the  following  persons  were  assessed  in  Middletown  :  John 
Bowater,  David  Ogden,  John  Turner,  John  Musgrave,  Thomas  Martin, 
William  Edwards,  John  Edwards,  Joseph  Cookson,  Joseph  Jarvis,  George 
Smedley,  Richard  Woodward,  Robert  Woodward,  Thomas  Coebourne, 
John  Martin,  Richard  Crosby,  Joel  Baily,  Robert  Pennell  and  Thomas 
Taylor.  The  Sharpies  land  was  in  a  remote  part  of  the  township,  and 
no  doubt  was  considered  far  back  in  the  woods,  but  at  that  time 
Joseph  Sharpies  was  a  boy  of  eighteen  and  not  ready  to  make  a 
settlement. 

A  survey  for  Joseph  Powell,  of  1 20  acres  in  Nether  Providence, 
immediately  north  of  John  Sharples's  upper  tract,  was  made  9  mo.  2, 
1682,  in  right  of  his  purchase  of  250  acres  from  Penn,  March  21  and 
22,  1 68 1.  He  was  probably  a  brother  to  Thomas  Powell,  already 
mentioned.  Thomas  Powell,  son  of  Joseph  and  Esther,  was  born  3  mo. 
27,  1686,  about  which  time  the  father  died,  and  Esther,  the  widow,  married 
io  mo.  1687,  George  Gleave  of  Springfield.  In  1691  she  married  a  third 
husband,  Joseph  Ware,  of  Salem  County,  N.  J.  By  the  first  marriage  two 
children,  Hannah  and  Mar)-  Powell,  and  by  the  second,  John  and  Phebe 
Gleave,  survived.  Josiah  White  and  wife  Hannah  (Powell),  Joseph  Ware 
and  wife,  Hester,  and  Mary  Powell,  executed  a  deed  to  Joseph  Sharpies, 
2  mo.  24,    1700,  for  the  above  land. 

In  connection  with  the  story  of  Joseph  Sharpies  having  built,  about 


JOSEPH  SHARP LESK  123 

1 700,  the  old  house,  which  is  still  standing,  the  following  statements   by 

David  Simpson  of  Blairsville,   Pa.,  will  be  of  interest: 

I  will  say  here  in  regard  to  family  heirlooms  the  first  John  Sharpies  brought  with  him  a 
small  Roman  vase  that  was  dug  up  in  London  fourteen  feet  below  the  present  surface  of  the 
streets.  Just  how  he  became  owner  of  it  I  don't  know,  but  he  hid  it  beneath  that  famous  Rock 
full  of  money  in  gold  and  there  it  staid  for  twenty  years  and  his  youngest  son  Joseph  took  that 
money  and  built  that  house  for  his  mother  which  is  called  this  day  the  first  Sharpless  House  in 
America.  The  vase  descended  to  Phebe  Sharpless,  the  mother  of  my  mother,  and  on  her  death 
was  given  to  my  mother,  being  the  youngest  child,  with  many  other  things  belonging  to  the 
family,  which  were  all  lost  at  the  death  of  my  mother.  I  being  here  in  Blairsville  and  my 
-  having  her  own  family  to  attend  to  at  that  time,  strangers  carried  every  thing  off  they 
could  lay  hands  on.  I  wanted  my  mother  to  give  me  that  vase  some  years  before  she  died  but 
she  told  me  she  would  not  part  with  it  while  she  lived  :  at  her  death  it  would  be  mine. 

Joseph  Sharpies  was  appointed  constable  for  Nether  Providence  12 
mo.  23,  1702-3,  which  would  indicate  that  he  had  settled  on  his  land  in  that 
township.  At  Chester  Monthly  Meeting,  10  mo.  30,  1706:  "This  meeting 
appoints  Thomas  Minshall  and  Joseph  Sharpies  to  be  overseers  for 
Providence  meeting  untill  further  orders."  Thomas  Minshall  was  his  next 
neighbor,  on  the  north,  upon  whose  land  the  meeting-house  had  been  built. 
They  were  succeeded,  1  mo.  29,  1 70S,  by  Robert  Vernon  and  Isaac 
Minshall.  Joseph  frequently  represented  his  meeting  at  the  monthly 
meeting,  the  last  time  from  Providence  being  6  mo.  27,  171 2,  and  the  first 
time  from  Middletown,  10  mo.  2-S,  171 3,  from  which  we  may  conclude  that 
he  removed  to  the  Middletown  tract  in  the  spring  of  17 13. 

There  having  been  great  inaccuracies  in  many  of  the  early  surveys,  a 
law  of  property  was  passed  in  1700,  and  confirmed  in  1701,  which  enacted 
that  any  person's  land  might  be  resurveyed,  "and  if  upon  such  resurvey 
(after  allowance  of  four  acres  in  the  hundred,  over  or  under,  for  difference 
of  surveys,  and  six  per  cent  for  roads)  an  overplus  shall  be  found,  the 
possessor  thereof  should  have  the  refusal  of  it  from  the  Proprietary  at 
reasonable  rates ;  and  in  case  of  disagreement  about  such  rates  the 
Proprietary  was  to  choose  two  men  and  the  possessor  two  more,  who 
should  either  fix  a  price  on  the  said  overplus  land,  or  appoint  where  it 
should  be  taken  off  for  the  Proprietary,  in  one  entire  piece,  at  an  outside 
(saving  to  the  purchaser  or  renter  his  improvements  and  best  conveniences), 
any  three  of  whom  agreeing  should  be  conclusive ;  and  the  charges  of 
resurveying  should  be  borne  by  the  purchaser  or  renter  of  the  main  tract, 
if  he  bought  the  overplus,  or  if  not,  then  by  the  Proprietary  ;  and  that 
deficiencies  should  be  made  good  by  the  Proprietary,  according  as  he 
received  for  overplus  land  as  aforesaid." 


124  ™E  SHARP  LESS  FAMILY. 

The  following  warrant  may  have  been  applied  for  under  die  impression 
that  the  tracts  in  question  were  deficient  in  quantity  : 

By  the  Commissioners  of  Property. 

\t  the  Request  of  Joseph  Sharpless,  of  in  yc 

County  of  Chester,  that  we  would  grant  him  a  Resurvey  on 
two  Tracts  of  Land  in  the  sd  County,  one  in  Middletown,  laid  out  to  John  Sharpless 
for  300  acres,  the  other  in  Providence,  laid  out  to  Joseph  Powel  for  125  acres,  but  are 
both  now  in  Possession  of  the  sd  Joseph  Sharpless;  these  are  to  require  thee  forthwith  to

EDWARD  SHIPPEN,  GRIFFITH  OWEN, 

To  Edward  Penington,  )  THO:  STORY,  JAMES  LOGAN. 

Surveyor  Gen1.         j 

On  the  following  day  the  Surveyor  General  directed  Isaac  Taylor, 
deputy  surveyor,  to  resurvey  the  lands,  and  from  his  returns  it  appears 
that  the  tract  in  Middletown  was  resurveyed  1  mo.  14,  1 701-2,  and  the 
other  11  mo.  17,  1 701,  containing  respectively  330  and  130  acres.  Perhaps 
this  330  acres  was  strict  measure,  equal  to  300  acres  and  allowance  of  six 
per  cent,  for  roads  and  four  per  cent,  for  difference  in  surveys,  and  this 
exclusive  of  overplus  land. 

James  Logan,  Secretary,  writing  to  Isaac  Taylor,  9  mo.  26,  1702,  says, 
— "The  Commrs  upon  application  made  by  &  non  agreem1  wth  Joseph 
Sharpless  have  ordered  that  thou  shalt  cutt  off  from  his  Tract  lately 
resurveyed  the  90  acres  of  overplus  found  therein,  which  pray  "j^form  as 
much  to  ye  Propr's  advantage  as  may  be,  the  Law  being  still  observed  in 
case  he  will  agree  to  what  is  reasonable  :  if  not  We  must  appoint  two  men, 
one  besides  thyself,  &  he  two  others  to  determine  where  the  Line  shall  be 
run." 

This  90  acres  of  overplus  land  was  patented  to  Thomas  Martin,  Oct. 
26,  1709,  but  afterward  became  the  property  of  Samuel  Sharpies,  son  of 
Joseph. 

A  new  patent,  dated  3  mo.  4,  1703,  and  signed  by  Edwd:  Shippen, 
Tho:  Story  and  James  Logan,  was  granted  to  Joseph  Sharpies,  for  the  two 
tracts  in  Providence  and  Middletown  ;  in  which  document  the  facts  of 
former  surveys  and  conveyances  are  recited,  though  with  some  errors  as 
to  dates.  The  survey  of  the  Middletown  tract  begins  "at  an  ash  Tree 
growing  by  a  Run  by  ye  land  of  Thomas  Martin  ;  from  thence  running  by 
a  piece  of  overplus  land,  taken  off  from  this  Tract  for  my  use,  Northwest

two  hundred  &  fifty  four  perches,  to  a  corner  black  Oak  ;  then  South 
forty  six  degrees  westerly,  two  hundred  &  eleven  perches,  to  a  walnut  Tree 
iwing  by  y*  side  of  Chester  Creek  :  from  thence  clown  by  ye  said  Creek, 
on  several  Courses,  four  hundred  &  fifteen  perches,  to  a  white  Oak 
growing-  by  ye  mouth  of  ye  said  Run  ;  from  thence  up  by  ye  sd  Runn,  on 
several  courses,  one  hundred  eighty  five  perches  to  ye  place  of  beginning, 
containing  three  hundred  &  thirty  acres.  To  this  patent  was  attached  the 
"Great  Seal"  (of  1699)  of  the  province,  made  of  brick-red  wax,  three  and 
three-quarter  inches  in  diameter  and  encased  in  a  tin  box.  This  and  the 
former  patent,  together  with  the  deed  from  Jane  and  John  Sharpies  to 
Joseph,  and  several  later  documents,  are  in  the  possession  of  Jesse 
Darling-ton  at  the  old  homestead  in  Middletown. 

The  tract  in  Providence  is  said  to  have  been  first  surveyed  to  Powell 
by  a  warrant  dated  Sept.  9,  16S2,  yet  the  patent  gives  2  mo.  (April)  9, 
1682,  as  the  date  of  survey.  Joseph  Sharpies  and  Lydia,  his  wife,  by  deed 
of  Sept.  3,  1720,  conveyed  this  land  to  John  Broomall,  who  devised  it  June 
23,  1729,  to  his  son  John  Broomall.  The  latter,  with  Ann,  his  wife,  and 
Mary  Broomall,  widow  of  the  first  John  Broomall,  conveyed  a  house  and 
100  acres  thereof,  June  9,  and  10,  1 73 1 ,  to  David  Regester,  who  with 
Lydia,  his  wife,  conveyed  the  said  100  acres,  March  8,  and  9,  1733-4,  to 
William  Gorsuch.  He  with  Rebecca,  his  wife,  sold  the  same  Jan.  1, 
1742-3,  to  John  McMichelh  who  with  his  wife,  Barbara,  conveyed  it,  Jan. 
18,  1762.  to  Samuel  Oliver,  and  the  latter,  with  Elizabeth  his  wife,  now  of 
Goshen  Township,  conveyed  it  to  Josiah  Wilkinson  of  Xether  Providence. 
Oliver,  about  the  same  time,  purchased  the  "  Boot  "  tavern  in  Goshen, 
from  Joseph  Lacey,  who  had  succeeded  (his  father-in-law?)  Josiah  Wilkinson 
at  the  same  place. 

It  is   inferred   that  Joseph  Sharpies  was  appointed  an    overseer   of 

Middletown    Meeting   in    171 5,    in   place  of  Jacob   Minshall,  and   he  was 

succeeded  by  Joseph  Pennell  3  mo.  27,  171  7.     He  was  appointed  an  Elder 

,7  mo.  25,  1732,  in  room  of  Ephraim  Jackson,  who  desired  to  be  released, 

and  was  succeeded  by  Thomas  Goodwin,  2  mo.  25,  1737. 

By  deed  of  1  mo.  26,  171 5,  he  purchased  from  Samuel  Tomlinson  of 
Middletown,  "cordwinder,"  and  Mary  his  wife,  9S  acres  in  Middletown,  on 
Chester  Creek,  immediately  above  his  other  land.  He  had  also  bought 
from  Caleb  Pusey,  4  mo.  27,  1709,  21  acres  on  the  other  side  of  the  creek 
in  Aston  township.  In  1734  he  conveyed  to  his  son  Joseph  the  Tomlinson 
tract  and  60  acres  of  the  old  survey,  and  by  deeds  of  lease  and  release, 
July  24,  and  25,    1736,  divided  the  remainder  of  his  land  in   Middletown

between  his  sons  Benjamin  and  Samuel,  giving  the  latter  ioo  acres,  and  to 
the  former  150  acres,  with  the  buildings,  and  9  acres  of  the  Aston  tract. 
At  the  same  time  he  purchased  from  his  son  Benjamin  a  tract  of  387  acres 
which  the  latter  had  bought  in  1734,  in  West  Cain  township,  more  than 
twenty  miles  to  the  northwest  of  Middletown.  At  the  age  of  fifty-eight  the 
father  still  possessed  a  pioneering  disposition,  and  as  the  new  purchase  was 
within  the  limits  of  Bradford  Monthly  Meeting,  he  made  a  request  6  mo. 
29,  1  737,  for  a  certificate  of  removal  thereto,  with  his  wife  and  some  of  his 
children.     The  request  was  granted  in  the  following  document:

JOSErH  SHARPIES-'.  x  2  7 

In  his  new  home  Joseph  Sharpies  was  an  active  member  of  West  Cain 
Meeting.  In  1743  he  joined  with  other  inhabitants  of  West  Cain  in 
petitioning  to  have  some  of  the  boundary  lines  of  that  township  more 
definitely  determined. 

At  a  monthly  meeting  at  Cain,  8  mo.  iS,  1744.  "Joseph  Sharpless 
requested  of  this  meeting  a  Certificate  for  his  son  Nathan  &  his  wife, 
directed  to  Concord  monthly  meeting,  as  also  a  Certificate  for  his  son 
William  directed  to  the  same  monthly  meeting,  as  also  a  Certificate  for  his 
two  sons  Abraham  &  Jacob  directed  to  Chester  monthly  meeting  ;  therefore 
this  meeting  appoints  William  Sinklar  &  Jesse  Woodward  to  make  the 
needfull  enquirie  concerning  them,  &  if  they  find  nothing  to  obstruct  to 
prepare  certificates  accordingly,  and  produce  them  to  next  meeting."  On 
12  mo.  21,  1744,  "Joseph  Sharpless  acquainted  this  meeting  that  he  and 
his  wife  intends  shortly  to  remove  from  hence  and  settle  within  the  verge 
of  Chester  monthly  meeting,  and  requested  a  Certificate  to  said  meeting  ; 
Therefore  this  meeting  appoints  William  Sinklar  &  Peter  Babb  to  make 
the  needfull  enquirie  concerning  him,  &  if  they  find  nothing  to  obstruct  to 
prepare  one  and  produce  it  to  next  meeting."  The  women  appointed 
Phebe  Sinclear  and  Elizabeth  Fisher  to  inquire  respecting  Lydia 
Sharpies. 

Just  where  Joseph  and  Lydia  Sharpies  made  their  home  after  their 
return  to  Middletown  is  not  known : — perhaps  with  their  son  Benjamin  at 
the  old  homestead.  An  old  house  which  was  probably  built  by  Joseph 
when  he  first  settled  there,  stood  a  few  yards  north  of  the  present  residence 
of  Jesse  Darlington,  but  was  torn  down  about  1S68.  The  flooring,  fastened 
down  with  wooden  pins,  and  other  wood  work  somewhat  resembled  the  old 
house  at  Waterville  and  suggested  the  same  builder.  Their  certificate 
from  Bradford  does  not  appear  to  have  been  presented  at  Chester  until  4 
mo.  30,  1746. 

Lydia  Sharpies  was  appointed  an  overseer  for  Middletown  Meeting, 
11  mo.  30,  1 715,  along  with  Rachel  Jackson,  and  in  the  room  of  Alice 
Pennell,  who  in  turn  succeeded  her  9  mo.  25,  171 7.  She  was  again 
appointed,  5  mo.  29,  1734,  instead  of  Sarah  Worrall,  and  was  succeeded, 
2  mo.  26,  1736,  by  Mary  Pennell. 

The  following  letter  addressed  to  Joseph  Sharpies  by  Isaac  Sharpies, 
of  Hitchin  in  Hertfordshire,  Eng.,  is  still  preserved,  though  somewhat 
mutilated  by  the  loss  'of  a  little  from  the  upper  end  of  the  sheet,  and  from 
the  side  in  a  few  places.  The  date  is  wanting  but  from  circumstances 
mentioned    it  was   probably  written   in    1757,  and   it  is  doubtful  whether 


128  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Joseph   Sharpies  was  living  at  the  time  of  its  reception.     An  attempt  is 
made  to  supply  some  of  the  missing  words : 

I  rec'd  thine  ^>  Sam"  Fothergill  and  was  very  [welcome]  to  me,  having  often  heard  of 
som  of  my  name  on  [that]  side  the  water,  by  severall  friends  from  your  parts,  thou  hints  in 
thine,  so  I  take  it,  that  it  Looks  very  [likely]  we  may  be  of  the  same  family,  but  I  can  give 
[but]  a  very  slender  account  of  my  famaly,  my  father  and  mother  Dying  when  I  was  young. 
and  I  Left  that  [part]  of  the  country  when  young.  I  have  heard  that  [my]  gran  father,  by  my 
father,  was  the  huntsman  at  L[  ]  hall,  and  my  father  was  a  convinced  man  when  young, 
and  maryed  my  mother  Phebe  Endon  among  friends;  by  whom  he  had  five  children,  of  whom 
I  am  the  [only]  Serviver.  my  father  mist  his  way  In  his  second  marriage,  and  Lost  his 
condision  Inwardly  and  outwardly,  and  also  the  unity  of  friends;  by  which  means  his  family 
sufered  and  wear  dispersed.  One  went  to  Sea  and  dyde  at  Jamaco  ;  another  In  London,  and 
two  when  young.  I  was  put  an  prentis  to  a  Taylor,  and  after  I  had  served  my  time  I  Traviled 
to  London  and  the  west  of  England,  and  about  the  22  year  of  my  age  was  convinced  and 
Brought  In  among  frds :  about  12  years  after  maried  Into  glostershire,  Into  a  reputable  famaly  ; 
Lived  about  5  years  with  that  wife  and  she  dide.  I  Lived  about  five  years  single,  having  no 
children,  and  then  I  married  into  a  worthy  famly  In  Hertfordshire  whear  I  now  Live,  and 
through  the  favour  of  provedence  am  Blessed  with  an  agreeable  help  meet  and  comfertable 
compentcy  of  the  ne[cessaries]  of  Life  :  have  had  by  this  wife  six  children,  but  two  Living 
whose  names  are  Phebe  and  Isaac,  my  frd  Sam"  Spavold,*  the  Bearer  hearof,  who  is  comeing 
over  to  visit  your  parts  and  Lives  in  the  same  Town  as  I  do,  will  give  thee  a  verball  account  of 
my  famaly  and  present  condison,  if  he  may  be  presarved  in  his  voige,  which  I  greatly  Desire  he 
may.  as  to  what  thou  says  of  Daniell  Moor  I  have  som  nosion  that  my  mother  was  related  to 
that  famaly  but  cannot  make  it  out  at  this  Distance,  but  have  no  doubt  we  are  of  the  same 
amaly. 

It  is  pleasent  to  hear  from  relations  att  a  distance  in  the  outward,  but  I  ofen  thought  that 
the  Spirituall  Kindered  exceeds  all  outward  Linage  ;  and  to  have  our  names  writin  in  heaven, 
and  to  be  of  that  generall  assembly  and  Church  of  the  first  Born,  and  of  the  household  of  faith, 
and  to  have  our  union  in  Christ,  In  whom  all  the  famalys  of  the  earth  are  Blessed — this  is  my 
Delight ;  and  where  the  outward  and  the  Inward  meet  in  one  I  have  true  unity  with  it ;  and  I 
am  truly  glad  to  hear  that  you  have  so  many  of  you  keept  your  unity  with  friends,  and  I  greatly 
Desire  that  you  may  be  keept  and  presarved  to  the  End  through  all  your  tryalls,  temptations 
and  provokeations,  in  these  perillious  times,  wherin  the  tryal  of  our  faith  and  patience  is 
Exercised.  I  have  ofen  had  a  near  simpathy  with  you  on  that  side  the  water  of  Late,  and  had 
you  in  rememberance  in  my  near  aproches  before  the  Lord,  that  he  might  arise  to  your  help 
and  scater  your  enimys ;  and  as  friends  are  carfull  and  conserned  to  flee  to  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  that  Everlasting  Tower  of  Safty,  where  the  rightious  and  the  right  minded  have  allways 
been  protected,  through  fire  and  through  water,  and  these  that  are  thus  presarved  of  the  Lord 
have  greatly  the  advantage  of  those  that  make  flesh  their  arm,  and  Depart  from  the  Lord  in 

*  Samuel  Spavold  was  present  at  Chester  Monthly  Meeting  9  mo.  26,  1757,  and  Isaac  Howell  obtained  a 
certificate  to  accompany  him  to  Carolina.  Samuel  Fothergill  landed  at  Wilmington  9  mo.  24,  1754,  in  company 
with  John  Churchman,  who  had  spent  some  years  on  a  religious  visit  to  Great  Britain,  and  the  former  frequently 
visited  the  latter  at  his  home  in  East  Nottingham,  during  his  stay  here.  One  of  his  letters  is  dated  at  Chester,  in 
Pennsylvania,  II  mo.  II,  1755.  After  traveling  over  S,ooo  miles  on  religious  service  in  America,  he  sailed  from 
New  York,  6  mo.  5,  1 756,  and  arrived  at  Dublin,  7  mo.  9,  1756.

From  an  account  of  the  writer  of  the  forecroinor  letter  in  Friends' 
Library,  xiii.  349,  we  learn  that  he  was  born  about  the  year  1702,  near 
Prescot;  in  Lancashire,  to  which  Meeting  his  parents  belonged.  When 
about  twelve  years  of  age,  by  the  persuasion  of  some  of  his  father's 
relations,  he  was  sprinkled  at  Ormskirk,  and  for  some  time  attended  the 
public  worship.  His  first  wife  was  Esther  Thurston,  a  widow,  of  Thorn- 
bur)-  in  Gloucestershire,  and  he  was  married  again,  in  1746,  to  Mary 
Ransom,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Mary  Ransom  of  Hitchin.  "His  ministry 
was  plain  and  powerful,  often  reaching  the  witness  of  truth  in  the  hearts  of 
his  hearers.  In  supplication  he  was  inward  and  weighty,  an  awful  solemnity 
covering  his  spirit,  whereby  he  was  frequently  favored  with  near  access  to 
the  throne  of  Divine  Grace.  An  innocent  cheerfulness,  tempered  with 
gravity,  adorned  his  conversation,  and  his  conduct  was  a  pattern  of  meek- 
ness, moderation  and  love,  which  gained  him  great  esteem."  He  died  5 
mo.  18,  17S4,  about  the  eighty-second  year  of  his  age  and  a  minister  about 
sixty  years. 

Joseph  Sharpies  died  intestate  as  the  following  proceedings  will  show:

friends  living  ye  other  way,  upon  y'  same  day,  to  meet  at  ffrancis  Stanfields 
until  further  consideration." 

Third  mo.  4,  1696:  "This  meeting  consents  yl  the  meeting  *  *  *  be

this  meeting  Book." 

At  Randall  Vernon's,  12  mo.  5,  1699-700:  "Whereas  the  friends 
belonging  to  the  meeting  that  is  kept  at  ye  house  of  John  Bowaters  have

j  34  THE  SH ARTLESS  FAMJL  Y. 

In  the  treasurer's  account  of  collections  received,  this  is  called 
"  Bowaters  Meeting"  until  5  mo.  27,  1702,  when  the  name  of  Middletown 
is  substituted,  and  it  is  likely  the  house  was  then  completed.  A  survey  of 
the  land  belonging  thereto,  made  by  Isaac  Taylor,  4  mo.  10,  1700, 
represents  that  it  contained  five  acres,  in  the  form  of  a  square  ;  bounded 
by  land  of  John  Bowater  on  one  side,  of  Joseph  Baker  on  another,  and  of 
John  Turner  on  the  other  sides.  The  last  named  had  purchased  from 
Joshua  Hastings,  for  whom  472  acres  had  been  surveyed  by  warrant  of 
Jan.  16,  1684. 

The  first  building  was  doubtless  of  wood,  to  which  an  addition  of 
stone  was  afterward  placed  at  the  south-east  end.  In  1770  subscriptions 
were  made  to  the  amount  of  ^215,  to  put  up  a  stone  addition  in  place  of 
the  wooden  part,  and  in  1773  a  subscription  was  made  towards  enclosing 
the  graveyard  with  a  wall,  which  was  finally  accomplished.  In  1783  the 
sum  of  ^106  was  raised  in  the  same  way  to  build  a  school  house  upon 
the  lot. 

At  a  monthly  meeting  held  2  mo.  24,  1783,  "Middletown  Preparative 
Meeting  informs  that  the  friends  who  had  the  care  of  the  Lott  of  Ground 
whereon  their  Meeting  House  stands  are  all  Deceased,  and  they  have 
appointed  William  Yarnall,  Jacob  Minshall,  John  Hill  &  Thomas  Evans, 
Trustees,  for  the  said  Lot  of  Ground  in  their  stead." 

Sixth  mo.  24,  1822:  "Middletown  Preparative  meeting  informs  that 
they  have  obtained  a  Deed  from  the  Heirs  at  Law  of  Joshua  Hastings,  the 
original  Proprietor  (under  William  Penn)  of  their  meeting-house  Ground, 
who  put  them  in  possession  thereof  about  the  year  1690  ;  confirming  and 
conveying  the  same  unto  Enos  Painter,  James  Emlen,  Peter  Worrell, 
William  Yarnall,  George  Smedley,  Joseph  Pennell  &  Samuel  Hibberd,  In 
Trust  for  the  benefit  and  use  of  middletown  Preparative  Meeting  of 
Friends  :  which  said  Deed  they  have  had  recorded  in  the  office  for  recording 
Deeds,  in  and  for  the  County  of  Delaware,  in  Deed-book  O,  vol.  1st,  Page 
591,  &c,  the  30th  day  of  the  4th  month,  A.  D.  1822  ;  which  said  Deed  is 
deposited  in  the  monthly  meeting  book  case." 

In  the  fifty  years,  commencing  with  17S7,  there  were  over  nine 
hundred  interments  in  the  grave-yard  belonging  to  this  meeting.

Henry  Howard  appears  to  have  resided  at  first  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Darby,  whence  he  brought  a  certificate  to  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  dated  10  mo. 
4.  1  71  7.  which  states  that  he  had  "lived  some  time  amongst  us  *  *  * 
frequented  our  meetings  *  *  *  Clear  from  all  women  in  Relation  to 
marriage  as  far  as  we  know,"  &c.  This  was  signed  by  Richard  Parker, 
]r..  and  Josiah  Hibberd,  and  it  shows  that  prior  to  this  time  he  had  joined 
with  Friends.  He  resided  in  Upper  Providence  and  was  a  weaver  at  the 
time  of  his  marriage,  but  had  purchased  from  William  Willis  of  Edgmont, 
blacksmith,  and  Gaynor  his  wife,  by  deed  of  3  mo.  16,  1720,  a  tract  of  196 
acres  in  Edgmont,  and  4  acres  in  Newtown,  whereon  they  settled,  and 
which  is  still  in  possession  of  their  descendants.  Their  marriage  certificate, 
on  parchment,  15^2  by  16  inches  in  size,  is  now  in  possession  of  Henry  C. 
Howard  of  Media,  and  is  herein  presented  on  a  reduced  scale.  The  name 
of  John  Salkeld  and  the  first  name  of  his  wife,  Agnes  Salkeld,  among  the 
witnesses,  have  been  eaten  by  mice.  David  Lloyd,  Chief  Justice  of  Penna., 
and  Grace,  his  wife,  were  also  witnesses.  It  is  not  known  that  any  of 
Henry  Howard's  immediate  family  came  to  this  country,  yet  there  was  a 
Lawrence  Howard  (m.  Xanny  James  Dec.  7,  1752),  and  a  Henry  Howard 
(m.  about  1772),  who  may  have  been  relatives. 

Hannah  Howard  was  appointed  an  overseer  of  Middletown  Mtg., 
1  mo.  25,  172S,  in  room  of  Phebe  Lewis,  and  was  succeeded  by  Dorothy 
Yarnall  9  mo.  24,  1729.  Henry  Howard  was  appointed  overseer,  11  mo. 
31,  1731-2,  in  room  of  Samuel  Lewis,  who  in  turn  succeeded  him  S  mo.  28, 
1734.  Henry  received  a  certificate,  7  mo.  30,  1734,  on  account  of  having 
"occation  to  go  to  Great  Britian  to  settle  some  affairs  &  the  vessell  being 
like  to  sail  before  next  meeting."  He,  being  returned,  produced  this 
certificate  4  mo.  30,  1735,  with  endorsement  from  Friends  in  England.  He 
was  appointed  an  Elder  for  Middletown  Mtg.,  8  mo.  25,  1742,  in  room  of 
Thomas  Goodwin,  and  was  succeeded  by  Joseph  Pennell  8  mo.  27,  1746. 

Hannah  was  appointed  overseer,  9  mo.  26,  1739,  instead  of  Mary 
Edge,  and  was  succeeded  by  Ann  Evans  5,  28,  1746  :  was  again  appointed 
10  mo.  26,  1748,  and  was  succeeded  by  Agnes  Minshall  10  mo.  30,  1752. 

The  will  of  Henry  Howard  of  Edgmont,  was  dated  9  mo.  13,  1758, 
and  proven  Oct.  27,  1760.  In  it  he  gives  to  his  son  John,  for  seven  years, 
the  plantation  whereon  John  lives  in  Edgmont  and  Newtown,  except  six 
acres  of  meadow  on  S.  W.  side  of  Crum  Creek,  after  which  the  same  to

of  Upper  Providence,  were  married  8  mo.  23,  1701,  at  Providence  Mtg., 
and  settled  in  Goshen  township.  She  was  perhaps  a  widow,  or  possibly  a

Chester  meeting  informs  that  the  ground  on  which  their  meeting  house  is  erected  was 
conveyed  by  deed  of  2  mo.  17,  1736,  to  six  trustees,  Jacob  Howell,  Thomas  Cummings,  John 
Owen,  Samuel  Lightfoot,  John  Salkeld,  Jun'r,  and  John  Sharpless,  Jun'r,  and  that  by  the 
declaration  of  trust  it  was  provided  that  if  any  of  these  were  disowned  or  deceased,  their  places 
might  be  filled  by  appointment  of  this  monthly  meeting.  John  Owen  being  deceased,  and 
John  Salkeld,  Jun'r,  disowned,  the  meeting  appoints  Jonathan  Cowpland  and  Joseph  Ashbridge 
to  succeed  them. 

On  12  mo.  26,  1774,  Howell,  Cummings  and  Sharpies  being  deceased, 
Edward  Russell,  Caleb  Harrison  and  John  Eyre  were  appointed  trustees 
in  their  stead. 

Elizabeth  Sharpies  brought  a  certificate  from  Goshen  to  Chester  in 
1729,  representing  that  "her  conversation  hath  been  modest  and  orderly."

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


overseer  for  Chester  meeting  along  with  Eliz:  Sharpies,  in  place  of  our 
Friend  Agnes  Salkeld,  Deceased."  Elizabeth  was  succeeded  by  Sarah 
Sharpies  5  mo.  30,  1757,  and  their  positions  were  reversed  6  mo.  27,  1763. 
On  12  mo.  28,  1767,  "Esther  Hoskins  is  chosen  overseer  with  Elinor 
Harrison,  for  Chester  Meeting,  in  the  room  of  Elizabeth  Sharpies, 
Deceased." 

By  a  deed  dated  April  16,  1726,  John  Sharpies  of  Ridley,  yeoman, 
conveyed  to  his  son  John  Sharpies,  cordwainer,  "for  the  sum  of  five 
shillings  of  lawful]  money  of  the  sd  Province,"  and  "  for  the  natural  love  & 
affection  which  he  hath  &  beareth  to  the  sd  John,"  a  messuage  or  tenement 
where  the  son  then  dwelt,  together  with  155  acres  of  land.  George 
Sharpless,  the  present  owner  of  this  homestead,  says  he  resided  in  the  old 
house  from  1S32  to  1839,  and  that  it  was  part  of  stone  and  part  of  frame, 
the  sides  of  the  latter  being  covered  with  clapboards.  The  timbers  were 
evidently  cut  with  a  whip-saw.  The  building  was  torn  down  about  thirty 
years  ago  and  some  of  the  joists  and  doors  used  in  the  construction  of  a 
kitchen  to  the  present  mansion,  which  stands  some  rods  nearer  to  the 
Providence  Road. 

John  Sharpies,  3d,  also  inherited  some  more  land  by  the  will  of  his 
father,  including  a  few  acres  in  Chester  township,  which  was  probably 
marshy  ground,  then  considered  valuable  for  hay  and  pasture,  as  little  had 
been  done  toward  the  cultivation  of  the  so-called  artificial  grasses. 

By  deed  of  Apr.  21,  1763,  John  Sharpies  and  wife  conveyed  to  James 
Mather  of  Chester,  Innkeeper,  a  lot  in  Chester  for  £45,  which  his  father 
bought  of  Jonas  Sandelands  in  171 2. 

In  1764  he  was  assessed  in  Nether  Providence  with  105  acres  of  land, 
with  buildings,  65  acres  uncultivated  land,  4  acres  of  marsh  in  grass,  5 
horses,  5  cattle  and  5  sheep.  He  died  intestate  and  letters  of  administration 
on  his  estate  were  granted  Sept.  9,  1769,  to  Thomas  Swayne.  The 
inventory  of  his  personal  property,  appraised  9  mo.  12,  1769,  by  William 
Swaffer  and  Isaac  Weaver,  amounted  to  ^364  :  o  :  1.  The  following  were 
some  of  the  items :

His  share  of  various  crops  at  home,  and  hay  at  the  marsh 
mentioned. 

The  administration  accounts,  filed  Dec.  17,  1770,  show  a  total  of 
^425:  12  :  5j£,  and  on  the  same  date  a  petition  was  presented  to  the 
Orphans'  Court  for  an  inquisition  on  the  real  estate.  By  the  old  English 
laws  in  regard  to  intestates,  the  eldest  son  was  entitled  to  a  double  share, 
but  in  this  case  he  was  deceased,  leaving  an  only  daughter,  who  thus 
inherited  twice  as  much  as  her  uncle.  The  lands  consisted  of  195  acres 
surrounding  the  homestead,  8j4  acres  in  Ridley,  on  the  Delaware  River, 
and  4  acres  in  Chester  township,  valued  altogether,  by  Sheriff,  Jesse  Maris, 
and  twelve  jurors,  at  ^"1253  :  2  :  6,  making  the  shares  worth  _£  179  :  o  :  4, 
each.  The  surviving  son  and  eldest  daughter  declining;  to  take  the 
property  at  this  valuation,  it  was  awarded  May  31,  1 77 1 ,  to  Reuben 
Roberts,  who  had  married  the  second  daughter,  Margaret. 

The  following  petition  relative  to  a  change  in  the  township  line,  having 
been  chiefly  in  the  interest  of  the  Sharpless  family,  is  here  presented 
verbatim  : 

Chester  fs :     To  the  Honourable  Justices  of  the  Court  of  Gen1  Quarter  Sessions  of  the  Peace  to 
be  held  at  Chester  the  Twenty  Seventh  day  of  February  Anno  Domini  1753. 

The  Petition  of  John  Sharpless,  Daniel  Sharpless,  Isaac  Weaver  and  Thomas 
Swayne,  inhabitants  of  the  Westermost  parts  [of]  Ridley  Township  in  the  County  of

Josiah  Hibberd  doubtless  came  from  England  but  the  exact  place 
of  his  nativity  has  not  been  discovered.  He  settled  in  Darby  township, 
Chester  (now  Delaware)  County  as  early  as  1692,  and  on  9  mo.  (Nov.)  9, 
1698,  was  married  before  John  Blunston,  Esq.,  to  Ann  Bonsall,  dau.  of 
Richard  Bonsall  of  Darby,  and  Mary  his  wife.  Daniel  Hibberd,  possibly 
a  brother  of  Josiah,  had  married  in  1697,  Rachel  Bonsall;  a  sister  to  Ann, 


LINE  OF  PHEBE3,J0HN'.  I45 

but  the  father  of  the  latter  interposing  some  objection  to  the  second 
marriage,  it  could  not  be  accomplished  in  the  usual  way  of  Friends,  hence 
before  a  magistrate.     The  children  of  Josiah  and  Ann  were; 

John,  b.  ii  mo.  18,  1699;  d.  9  mo.  25,  1766  ;  m.  Deborah  Lewis  (1st  wife). 

Joseph,  b.  11   mo.  20,  1700;  d.  6  mo.  11,  1737  ;  m.  Elizabeth  Fearne  (1st  wife).

Josiah  Hibberd,  senior,  in  addition  to  his  land  in  Darby,  purchased 
500  acres  in  Willistown  township,  by  lease  and  release  of  May  16,  and  17, 
1722,  from  Martha  Barker  of  London,  widow  of  Thomas  Barker,  to  whom 
a  survey  of  1000  acres  had  been  made  in  that  township.  This  land  he 
divided  between  his  sons,  John  and  Benjamin,  the  deed  to  the  latter  being 
dated  Feb.  26,  1731.  Josiah  Hibberd  died  6  mo.  (Aug.)  16,  1744,  and  his 
widow,  Ann,  just  five  years  later. 

There  is  a  tradition  that  Phebe  Sharpies  was  under  engagement  of 
marriage  to  Josiah  Hibberd,  Jr.,  who  at  his  death  devised  to  her  a  token  of 
his  love  in  the  form  of  ,£30,  and  that  she  invested  this  in  a  silver  cup  ;  in 
evidence  of  which  a  silver  cup  or  tankard,  having  the  letters  P.  S.  on  the 
side,  has  been  handed  down  in  the  line  of  the  Josiahs  to  the  present  day. 
If  the  said  Josiah  made  a  will  it  must  have  been  verbal  and  never 
registered  ;  and  if  he  gave  her  ^30,  it  is  likely  that  only  a  part  of  it  was 
thus  expended. 

At  Goshen  Monthly  Mtg.,  6  mo.  21,  1732,  Benjamin  Hibberd  produced 
a  certificate  of  membership  from  Darby,  and  his  wife  one  from  Chester. 
She  was  appointed  overseer  of  Goshen  Mtg.,  9  mo.  17,  1735,  instead  of 
Jane  Malin,  along  with  Jane  Davies  ;  and  was  succeeded  by  Jane  Haines, 
3  mo.  16,  1737:  appointed  5  mo.  18,  1748,  with  others,  to  visit  families: 
appointed  overseer  10  mo.  19,  174S,  instead  of  Hannah  Osborne: 
appointed  4  mo.  19,  1756,  with  others,  to  visit  families,  and  4  mo.  16,  1759, 
to  inspect  the  necessities  of  the  poor  in  the  stead  of  Ann  Goodwin, 
remaining  in  the  latter  position  until  her  death,  when  she  was  succeeded, 
12  mo.  10,  1773,  by  Mary  Ashbridge.     She  was  appointed  11  mo.  6,  1761,

and  again  4  mo.  6,  1764,  to  join  with  the  overseers   in  visiting  those  who 
neglected  the  attendance  of  meetings. 

Benjamin  Hibberd  was  appointed  overseer  of  Goshen  Mtg.,  12  mo. 
17,  1745-6,  in  room  of  Lawrence  Cox,  and  was  succeeded  by  Aaron 
Ashbridge  6  mo.  15,  1748:  again  appointed  1  mo.  19,  1756,  instead  of 
Amos  Yarnall,  and  was  appointed  an  Elder  4  mo.  19,  1756.  Aaron 
Ashbridge  succeeded  him  as  overseer  12  mo.  17,  1759,  but  he  was  again 
chosen  7  mo.  11,  1777,  in  place  of  Samuel  Garrett,  and  was  followed  by 
Randal  Malin,  12  mo.  9,  1780:  was  appointed  with  others,  2  mo.  5,  1779, 
to  visit  families:  and  it  is  mentioned  1  mo.  7,  1785,  that  he  had  been  paid 
;£l  :  19 :  9,  for  transcribing  the  women's  minutes. 

He  built  a  brick  house  in  1742,  to  which  an  addition  of  stone  was 
afterward  made.  In  1857  the  brick  part  was  torn  down,  at  which  time 
Enos  Hibberd  built  a  large  brick  house  a  few  rods  northerly  from  the  old 
one,  in  which  his  widow  and  some  of  the  family  still  reside. 

Benjamin  Hibberd  and  wife,  Phebe,  by  deed  of  10  mo.  17,  1765, 
conveyed  to  their  son  Josiah  the  land  in  Whiteland  township  which  her 
father  had  devised  to  her.  In  1753  Benjamin  bought  about  102  acres  in 
Willistown,  of  the  estate  of  Thomas  James,  dec'd,  and  in  1774  (Jan.  10,) 
gave  5  acres  thereof  to  his  son  Caleb,  to  which  on  the  following  day  was 
added  50  acres  taken  off  the  homestead  tract.  Jan.  13,  1774,  he  gave  to 
his  son  Joseph  the  remainder,  96  acres,  100  perches,  of  the  James  tract. 

The  will  of  Benjamin  Hibberd  of  Willistown,  yeoman,  was  dated  1  2 
mo.  26,  i/Si,and  proven  Oct.  3,  1785,  in  which  he  gives  to  son  Josiah 
"  my  silver  can,  having  before  advanced  him  in  full  proportion  to  my 
estate  :  "  to  son-in-law,  Amos  Yarnall,  and  his  seven  children,  £60  :  to  dau. 
Hannah  Sheward,  ,£60:  to  dau.  Phebe  Farquhar,  £60 :  to  son  Joseph,  14 
acres,  32  perches,  he  paying  ^"20:  to  son  Benjamin  the  homestead,  134 
acres,  no  perches,  he  paying  ^125  :  to  son  Caleb  two  tracts  of  86  acres, 
103  perches,  and  14  acres,  75  perches,  he  paying  ^"212:  to  kinswoman, 
Ann  Rogers,  who  formerly  lived  with  me,  £3. 

The  inventory  of  his  estate  as  appraised  9  mo.  19,  1785,  by  Isaac 
Massey  and  Enoch  Yarnall,  amounts  to  £2~~  :  16:8,  the  following  being 
among  the  items  :  "  To  a  Silver  kan  &  teaspoons,  £4. :  17  :  6."

were —

There  are  some  traditions  in  this  branch  of  the  family,  which,  although 
not  in  harmony  with  the  facts,  will  be  noticed. 

Morris  W.  Blair,  of  Kossuth,  Iowa,  writes,  Jan.  21,  18S4, — "The  date 
given  of  the  marriage  of  Samuel  Bond  and  Anne  Sharpies,  in  the  genealogy, 
is  probably  seven  or  eight  years  too  late.  They  eloped  at  the  respective 
ages  of  'under  19,  and  turned  14,'  going  to  New  Jersey  on  horseback. 
The  father,  John  Sharpies,  followed,  was  too  late  for  the  ceremony,  but 
good  naturedly  joined  in  the  feast  and  took  the  children  home.  Within 
the  year  was  born  to  them  Richard  Clayton  Bond  in  Cecil  Co.,  Md.,  to 
which  place  they  removed  shortly  after  marriage." 

The  name  of  their  eldest  child  is  thus  explained  :  Samuel  Bond  and 
Richard  Clayton  came  from  England  in  company,  the  latter  being  engaged 
to  marry  a  sister  of  the  former,  but  in  his  absence  she  died  and  the 
disconsolate  lover,  settling  near  his  friend,  remained  a  bachelor  and  made 
his  namesake  Richard  C.  Bond  his  heir.  He  planted  walnuts  brought  from 
England,  lumber  from  which  made  his  coffin  ;  also  a  "  claw-footed  table  " 
and  a  "  chest  of  drawers,"  which  were  given  by  her  mother  to  Lydia  Job ;  by 
her  to  her  daughter,  Anne  Bruce  ;  by  her  to  Lydia  Smith,  who  on  removing 
to  Iowa,  in  1857,  could  not  bring  them  and  left  them  with  a  step-daughter. 

Levi  H.  Bond  of  Milton  Junction,  Rock  Co.,  Wisconsin,  born  May  10, 
1801,  writes — "I  do  remember  distinctly  of  hearing  my  father  frequently 
say  that  my  great  grandfather,  Samuel  Bond  and  Richard  Clayton  came

departed  this  life  the  4th  day  of  August  in  the  year  1781,  supposed  to  be 
about  SS  years  of  age."  His  will  is  dated  July  8,  1781,  and  proven  Aug. 
20,  1 78 1,  in  which  he  devised  all  the  land  he  then  lived  upon  to  his  well 
beloved  friend  Richard  Bond  senior,  of  Cecil  County,  whom  he  appointed 
executor:  to  Phebe  Whitacre,  ,£10:  to  Mary  Becket,  40  shillings;  to  John 
Baker,  50  shillings  :  to  John  Killey,  ,£5  :  to  Hannah  Davis,  £5,  and  my 
Bible  :  to  Jonathan  Jarman,  £5 :  to  Margaret  Davis,  ^'5.  His  supposed 
age  seems  to  identify  him  with  the  subject  of  the  following  record  of  the 
Orphans'  Court  of  Chester  County,  under  date  of  Nov.  29,  1705  : 

Richard  Adams  preferred  a  petition  to  this  Court  concerning  ye  Estate  of  Thomas 
Clayton,  deceased  : 

That  whereas,  Thomas  Clayton,  a  bond  sen-ant  unto  your  petitioner,  about  6  years  ago, 
on  his  voyage  from  England  unto  this  province,  died  at  sea,  leving  behind  him  Elinor,  a  child 
of  about  y*  age  of  seven  years,  and  a  boy  of  about  five  years  of  age  named  Richard,  for 
which  children's  passage  your  petitioner  paid  in  England  and  hath  ever  since  mentained  them 
with  meat  drink  and  apparrell. 

The  Court  having  considered  of  Richard  Adams'  charge  against  ye  two  orphans,  viz.. 
Richard  and  Elinor  Clayton,  Dus  allow  Twenty  six  pounds  to  Richard  Adams,  of  Pennsylvania 
mony,  for  their  passage  &  dyett  in  England  and  dyett  on  bord  ship,  dyet  in  Maryland,  and 
bringing  them  up  to  Pennsylvania.

Among  the  first  purchasers  of  land  from  William  Perm  were  Barthol- 
omew Coppock  of  Saltney,  in  the  "  county  palatine"  of  Chester,  England, 
and  Bartholomew  Coppock  of  High  Leigh,  in  the  same  county,  both  of 
whose  deeds  bear  the  same  dates,  March  21  and  22,  16S1.  One  of  this 
name  was  a  witness  to  the  will  of  John  Worthington,  executed  on  board 
the  "Friendship  of  Liverpool,"  Jan.  (11  mo.)  16,  1684.  Both  settled  in 
Springfield  township,  and  their  lands  were  laid  out  adjoining  the  line  of 
Marple,  the  first  named  being  to  the  eastward  of  the  other.  He  of  High

Williamson.  The  father  died  in  Springfield  2  mo.  8,  1720,  and  his  son-in- 
law.  West,  to  whom  he  had  conveyed  his  land,  died  three  days  later.  Dr. 
Smith  {Hist.  Del.  Co.)  represents  that  Springfield  Meeting  was  first  held 
at  the  house  of  this  Bartholomew,  but  the  meeting-house  was  certainly  not 
built  on  his  land.  A  warrant  was  granted  7  mo.  17,  1701,  to  resurvey  to 
Bartholomew  Coppock,  Jr.,  a  tract  of  400  acres  in  Springfield,  formerly 
laid  out  for  him  and  his  "  cousin  "  Bartholomew  Coppock,  senior. 

Bartholomew  Coppock,  of  Saltney,  was  married  4  mo.  13,  167S,  to 
Margaret  Yarwood.  Perhaps  she  was  not  his  first  wife,  but  she  was  at 
least  the  mother  of  Jonathan  Coppock,  b.  1680,  who,  in  1708,  married  Jane 
Owen,  dau.  of  Dr.  Griffith  Owen  of  Philadelphia,  and  she  after  his  death 
married  John  Scholler  of  Springfield,  7  mo.  9,  1719,  and  a  third  husband. 
Robert  Taylor,  3  mo.  21,  1724.  This  Bartholomew  also  purchased,  2  mo. 
12,  16S7,  from  John  Xickson  (or  Nixon),  300  acres  in  Marple,  for  ^28, 
Bartholomew  Coppock,  senior,  being  a  witness  to  the  deed.  This  was  but 
about  half  a  mile  northward  of  his  land  in  Springfield  and  it  seems  that  he 
was  living  thereon  at  the  time  of  his  death,  12  mo.  20,  171S-19.  It  is 
likely  that  Jonathan  occupied  the  Springfield  tract,  upon  a  part  of  which 
the  meeting-house  had  been  built,  and  which  the  executors  of  his  father 
sold  to  John  Scholler  2  mo.  15,  17 19.  a  few  months  prior  to  his  marriage 
with  the  widow  of  Jonathan. 

Bartholomew  Coppock,  Jr.,  the  only  surviving  child  of  Bartholomew 
and  Margaret,  succeeded  his  father  in  Marple.  He  m.  7  mo.  5,  1704, 
Rebecca  Minshall,  dau.  of  Thomas  and  Margaret  Minshall,  at  whose  house 
Providence  Meeting  was  first  held.  She  was  b.  4  mo.  1,  1685,  an<^  d.  5 
mo.  30,  1708.  He  then  m.  3  mo.  10,  17 10,  Phebe  Massey.  widow  of 
Thomas,  and  dau.  of  Robert  Taylor  of  Springfield.  His  mother  died  7  mo., 
1735,  and  his  second  wife  12  mo.  27,  1749.     His  children  were — 

Margaret,  b.  4  mo.  21,  1706  :  m.  Henry  Camra,  4  mo.  5,  1728. 

Moses,  b.  5  mo.  2,  1708. 

Rebecca,  b.  5  mo.  14,  171 1  ;  m.  William  Fell,  9  mo.  8,  1744.

Esther,  b.  10  mo.  12,  1714:  m.  Seth  Pancoast,  3  mo.  21,  1741.

Daniel  Sharpies  was  appointed  an  overseer  of  Chester  Mtg.,  1 1  mo.

A  lease,  dated  25th  of  March  (New  Year's  Day  in  Old  Style),  1736, 
but  never  executed,  between  John  Sharpies,  of  Ridley,  yeoman,  of  the  one 
part,  and  Daniel  Sharpies,  his  son,  of  the  same  place,  Joyner,  of  the  other 
part,  was  intended  to  give  to  the  latter  the  possession  of  all  the  lands  of 
the  father  for  twenty-one  years,  at  a  rent  of  £6  per  annum;  and  allowing 
to  his  father  "good  and  sufficient  meat  &  drink,  and  one  good  Riding 
horse,  and  Good  sufficient  fire  wood,  Ready  brought  into  the  yard,  for  one 
fire."  The  father  reserved  "  the  Lower  Room  on  ye  west  end  of  the  Dwelling 
house,"  "Two  Beds  and  furniture,  one  press,  one  Chest  of  Drawers,  one 
Silver  Tankard,  one  box,  one  Cask  of  Sugar,  one  Cask  of  nails,  and  some 
other  small  things." 

Daniel  Sharpies  inherited  the  homestead  by  the  will  of  his  father, 
together  with  about  25S  acres  of  land,  to  which  he  added  about  40^  acres 
by  purchase  from  Nathan  Vernon  in  1768.  William  Starr,  who  appears  to 
have  bought  or  built  a  mill  on  Ridley  Creek,  obtained  from  John  Sharpies 
2  mo.  12,  1768,  the  "Privilege  of  drowning  a  part  of  my  Land  on  the 
southerly  side  of  Ridley  Creek  with  the  water  of  William  Starr's  Mill 
Dam,"  and  of  keeping  the  water  up  to  a  mark  on  a  certain  rock  for  the 
sum  of  £$■     Daniel  Sharpies  was  also  interested  in  this  matter  and  on 


LINE  OF  DANIEL  3,  JOHN'.  1 5  1 

Jan.  13,  1769,  conveyed  to  Starr  the  right  to  keep  the  dam  up  to  a  certain 
height  for  the  sum  of  ^16.  according  to  an  award  of  William  Parker, 
Henry  Hale  Graham  and  John  Morton,  dated  Dec.  6,  1768. 

At  a  Court  held  May  26.  1767  : 

Daniel  Sharpless  of  Nether  Providence  came  here  into  Court  and  did  Acknowledge  him- 
self to  be  indebted  to  our  Lord  the  King  in  the  sum  of  thirty  pounds,  to  be  levied  on  his  goods 
&  Chatties,  Lands  and  Tenements,  On  condition  that  he  the  said  Daniel  Shaq^less  do  secure 
and  Indemnify  the  Township  of  Xether  Providence  from  any  charge  or  Incumbrance  that  may 
be  brought  upon  the  same  in  case  Phillis  Meneneau,  alias  Hazard,  (a  slave  he  lately  set  free,)  by 
sickness  or  otherwise  be  rendered  Incapable  to  support  herself. 

John  Minshall  entered  into  a  similar  recognizance  Aug.  26,  1766,  on 
account  of  having  set  free  Oram  Hazard.  "  Orum  Hazard,  alias  Negro 
Hazard  of  the  Township  of  Middletown  *  *  *  and  Philis  Meneanu, 
alias  Malatoe  Philis,  of  the  Township  of  Nether  Providence,  having  set  up 
papers,  signed  by  John  Fairlamb,"  were  married  Nov.  9,  1765,  at  John 
Fairlamb's  house  in  Middletown.     Deed  Book  O,  p.  284,  Chester  Co. 


John  Minshall  kept  a  few  slaves,  which  his  brother  Moses  (being  a  sea  captain  and  trading 
to  the  West  India  Islands,)  brought  him.  On  one  occasion  he  found  an  African  which  the 
owner  was  willing  to  dispose  of  in  consequence  of  his  being  quite  sickly,  but  it  was  thought  a 
hazard  to  buy  him  :  he  however  brought  him  to  Pennsylvania,  where  he  recovered  his  health. 
His  African  name  was  Oram,  to  which  was  added  the  name  of  Hazard,  and  Oram  Hazard 
became  his  name  ever  after.  He  proved  to  be  a  very  worthy  man  and  after  serving  some  time 
was  liberated.  He  married  and  settled  on  the  farm  of  his  master,  and  was  known  as  one  who 
was  quite  successful  in  raising  good  tobacco.  His  children  were  Joel,  Jane,  Mary,  Phebe  and 
Eli. — Minshall  Painter' s  Reminiscences. 


Oram  Hazard  received  a  legacy  of  £\o  from  Richard  Blackham.  of 
Philadelphia,  who  married  a  cousin  of  John  Minshall.  His  own  will  was 
dated  Dec.  24,  1796,  of  which  he  appointed  Ambrose  Smedley  executor. 
Thomas  Hazard,  Esq.,  of  Thornbury,  who  is  probably  the  first  colored 
Justice  of  the  Peace  in  Pennsylvania,  is  doubtless  a  descendant  from  Oram 
Hazard. 

In  1764  Daniel  Sharpies  was  assessed  in  Nether  Providence  with  4 
acres  of  marsh  in  grass,  49  acres  woodland  in  Chester,  180  acres  of  land 
with  the  buildings,  34  acres  uncultivated  land,  6  horses,  7  cattle  and  7 
sheep ;  one  negro  girl  and  one  saw-mill.

the  son  of  John  and  Mary  Garrat,  and  the  same  Thomas  who  emigrated  in 
1684  with  Robert  Pennell  '(see  p.  87).  In  the  records  of  Darby  Meeting,

Upper  Darby  and  was  a  serviceable  member  of  the  meeting  for  about 
thirty-seven  years,  after  which  he  removed  to  Philadelphia.  His  wife  died 
(or  was  buried)  2  mo.  7,  1721,  and  he  in  1724.

They  settled  in  Springfield  township,  where  Robert  died  in  1695,  an<^  n's

James  Sharples3  was,  for  several  years  prior  to  his  death,  a  trustee  of 
Providence  Meeting,  but  does  not  appear  to  have  taken  an  active  part  in 
the  affairs  of  the  Society.  On  4  mo.  26,  1756,  a  complaint  was  made 
against  him  for  refusing  to  refer  to  arbitrators  a  matter  in  dispute  with  Joel 
Willis,  but  a  committee  subsequently  reported  that  Joel  had  no  right  to 
complain  of  James  Sharpies,  "  for  that  he  had  broke  no  part  of  his 
encracrement." 

James  Sharpies2  of  Lower  Providence,  yeoman,  and  Mar)-,  his  wife, 
in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  five  shillings  and  natural  affection,  conveyed 
to  their  son  James,  162  acres  of  the  N.  E.  part  of  their  land,  Aug.  6,  1729. 
This  was  bounded  on  the  South,  except  for  a  short  distance,  by  the  old 
Philadelphia  road.  On  Sept.  9,  1 74S,  Mary  Sharpies,  widow,  conveyed  by 
deed  of  gift,  to  her  son  James,  40  acres  additional  on  the  south  side  of  the

In  1764  James  Sharpies^  was  assessed  in  Nether  Providence  with  160 
acres  and  buildings,  worth  ^15  per  annum  ;  40  acres  of  uncultivated  land,

172S,  at  Providence  Mtg.,  to  Thomas  Dell,  of  Ridley,  where  they

Thomas  Dell,  "Late  of  Reading  in  Barkshire  in  Old  England  produced 
a  certificate  to  the  Satisfaction  of  this  meeting,"  10  mo.  27,  1708.  By  deed 
of  Feb.  9,  1709,  he  obtained  from  John  Faucit  a  "Stone  messuage  or 
Tenement  where  ye  sd  Thomas  Dell  now  Inhabits,  with  ye  Two  Tracts  or 
parcels  of  Land  and  Tenements  thereunto  belonging,"  containing  260 
acres,  in  Ridley,  for  ^"375.  One  of  these  tracts,  being  200  acres,  was  the 
remainder  of  Thomas  Nossiter's  land,  of  which  John  Sharpies1  bought  the 
other  half,  and  this  had  been  sold  to  Walter  Faucit,  the  father  of  John,  in 
1684. 

Thomas  and  Mary  Dell  were  active  members  of  Chester  Preparative 
and  Monthly  Meetings,  she  being  for  many  years  clerk  of  the  women's 
meeting.  The  women  first  began  to  keep  separate  minutes  in  1695,  an^ 
in  1 712,  the  meeting  directed  "Agnes  Salkeld  to  pay  Mary  Dell  four  pound 
for  new  transcribing  of  the  ould  booke  into  ye  new  one,  out  of  the 
monthly  meeting  stock."  The  new  book,  bought  of  Francis  Knowles,  of 
Philadelphia,  3  mo.  28,  171 1,  for  fifteen  shillings,  is  now  in  possession  of 
Sarah  L.  Miller,  of  Media,  Pa. 

On  8  mo.  25,  1742,  "The  Representatives  of  Chester  Meeting 
acquainted  this  meeting  that  there  is  some  Differance  depending  between 
John  Crosby  and  Thomas  Dell  because  the  said  John  Crosby  and  Peter 
Dicks,  haveing  built  a  forge  on  Crum  crick,  ye  damm  whereof  overflows 
some  part  of  ye  said  Dell's  land,  the  Damage  of  which  they  have  not  yet 
been  capable  to  settle,  neither  by  themselves  nor  by  some  assistance  they 
have  had ;  ye  said  Thomas  Dell  haveing  insisted  to  have  a  certain  sum  of 
money  yearly  or  to  have  the  dam  Pull'd  down."  A  committee  appointed 
by  the  meeting  afterward  awarded  Thomas  Dell  ^5  per  annum,  to  which 
the  others  agreed,  but  it  is  not  clear  what  was  the  result. 

Thomas  Dell  died  6  mo.  15,  1750,  aged  84,  and  his  widow,  Mary  Dell, 
9  mo.  11,  1 75 1,  aged  81. 

By  deed  of  2  mo.  13,  1731,  Thomas  Dell  of  Ridley,  yeoman,  and 
Mar)-,   his  wife,   gave   to   their  son,  Thomas   Dell,   two  tracts   of  land  in

messuage  where  he  lived  and  about  108  acres  to  grandsons,  Thomas  and

Thomas  Dell,  Jr.,  died  intestate,  and  letters  of  administration  were 
granted  May  2,  1  748,  to  Joseph  Garrett.  An  inventory  of  his  personalty 
made  3  mo.  5,  1748,  by  Caleb  Harrison  and  Moses  Vernon,  amounted  to 
^193  :  o  :  3.  By  proceedings  in  the  Orphans'  Court  it  appears  that  beside 
the  property  in  Ridley,  he  was  possessed  of  a  messuage  and  265  acres  in 
Fallowfield  township.  On  petition  of  his  daughters,  Sarah  and  Mary,  the 
Court  appointed  John  Sharpies  and  Robert  Squibb  to  be  their  guardians.

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 


In  the  edition  of  iSi6,  the  marriage  of  David  Sharpies  and  the  names 
of  his  children  are  given,  but  nothing  further,  and  their  history  is  rather 
obscure.  He  was  complained  of  by  Providence  Meeting,  6  mo.  25,  1740, 
for  marriage  by  a  "priest,"  as  ministers  of  other  denominations  were  then 
styled  by  Friends ;  and  having  been  precautioned  he  was  disowned,  S  mo. 
27,  1740,  for  this  offence.  Xo  further  information  has  been  obtained 
respecting  his  wife's  parentage,  though  there  is  little  doubt  that  she  was  of 
the  family  of  Thomas  Powell,  who  came  from  the  "Lordship  of 
Rudheith "  in  Cheshire,  Eng.,  in  1682.  The  family  settled  in  Upper 
Providence  and  were  Friends,  but  through  the  influence  of  George  Keith 
became  Episcopalians.  Thomas  died  in  17 14,  leaving  a  second  wife,  Anna> 
and  sons  John,  Joseph  and  Thomas.  One  Joseph  Powell  of  Nether 
Providence  made  his  will  May  2,  1752,  of  which  he  appointed  his  wife 
Katharine  and  John  Sharpies,  executors.  He  does  not  mention  any 
daughter.  Priscilla.  Joseph  Powell  of  Marple  died  about  1775,  leaving 
several  children  and  grandchildren,  but  there  is  no  mention  of  a  Priscilla 
amonQ-  them. 

Mary  Sharpies,  widow  of  James,  by  deed  of  gift,  dated  Dec.  20,  1748, 
conveyed  to  her  son  David  Sharpies,  yeoman,  102  acres  in  Nether 
Providence,  adjoining  land  of  Joseph  Powell,  James  Sharpies  and  others. 
David  Sharpies  of  Nether  Providence,  yeoman,  and  Priscilla,  his  wife, 
conveyed  this  land  April  25,  1759,  to  Peter  Dicks,  for  ^280  :  10.  This  is 
the  last  that  has  been  noticed  of  David  Sharpies. 

An  inventory  of  the  estate  of  Priscilla  Sharpies,  late  of  Darby 
township,  widow,  was  made  Feb.  25,  17S2,  by  Robert  Pennell  and  James 
Pennell,  containing  the  following  items  :

Daniel  Young  made  his  mark. 

The    evidence    here    presented    is    to    the  effect 
George   Husticler  and   Samuel  Taylor  had  married 
Sharpies,  but  the  names  of  their  respective  wives  are  u 
anything  further  known  of  the  husbands  or  wives.

1 64  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

William  Taylor1  and  his  brother,  Peter,  came  from  Sutton  in 
Cheshire,  Eng.,  1682,  and  settled  in  Upper  Providence,  where  they  took  up 
350  acres  each,  in  right  of  their  purchase  of  1250  acres  before  leaving 
England.  A  part  of  each  tract  is  now  included  in  the  town  of  Media. 
Margaret  Taylor,  wife  of  William,  d.  1  mo.  3,  16S2-3,  and  her  husband 
three  days  later,  leaving  three  children,  Joseph,  Mary,  who  m.  Samuel 
Robinett  (son  of  Allen),  and  Elizabeth,  who  m.  John  Powell  (son  of 
Thomas). 

Peter  Taylor1  was  married  in  16S5,  to  Sarah,  dau.  of  John 
Houlston,  by  whom  he  had  five  children,  Peter,  b.  3  mo.  20,  1686;  John, 
b.  12  mo.  1,  1687  ;  Sarah,  b.  5  mo.  6,  1690,  m.  Robert  Thornton  ;  William, 
b.  4  mo.  19,  1694;  Samuel,  b.  12  mo.  13,  1696-7. 

Peter  Taylor,  Jr.2,  was  married  2  mo.  28,  1712,  to  Elizabeth,  dau.  of 
John  and  Margaret  Jarman  of  Radnor,  b.  9  mo.  16,  1690.  They  settled  on 
a  part  of  his  father's  tract  in  Providence ;  perhaps  at  the  homestead,  as  his 
father,  about  this  time,  removed  to  Cain  township,  where  he  died  9  mo.  15, 
1720. 

Peter,  Jr.,  died  March,  1739-40,  and  his  widow  was  married  4  mo.  15, 
1743,  to  Edward  Woodward.  Their  children  were,  Mordecai,  b.  12  mo.  7, 
1 7 1 3  ;  Nathan,  b.  1  mo.  29.  1 7 1 5  ;  Sarah,  b.  12  mo.  2,  1 7 1 S,  m.  John 
Heacock  ;  Margaret,  m.  to  Peter  Thomas  ;  Peter,  m.  to  Elizabeth  Hall ; 
John,  Joseph,  Elizabeth,  m.  to  William  Smedley. 

The  will  of  Mordecai  Taylor,  of  Upper  Providence,  was  dated  6  mo.  7, 
1747,  and  proved  Oct.  19,  1747,  in  which  he  gave  to  his  wife,  Esther,  the 
use  of  the  real  estate  during  life,  after  which  it  was  to  be  divided  between 
his  two  daughters.  The  land  consisted  of  150  acres  which  he  had  purchased 
from  John  Davis  and  Margaret  his  wife,  by  deed  of  Oct.  4,  1737.  The 
inventory  by  Henry  Camm  and  George  Miller  amounted  to  ^200. 

Richard  Gorman  was  received  into  membership  at  Providence 
Meeting,  10  mo.  30,  1745.  He  produced  an  acknowledgment,  4  mo.  25, 
1750,  for  himself  and  wife,  Esther,  for  their  marriage  by  a  priest.  He  was 
complained  of  5  mo.  29,  1758,  on  account  of  a  debt  to  Daniel  Sharpies,  and 
on  7  mo.  31,  175S,  it  appears  that  his  goods  had  been  seized  but  not  yet 
sold,  and  he  was  also  complained  of  for  suing  David  Sharpies,  who 
apprehended  himself  in  danger  of  having  to  pay  money  twice  over 
Richard  was  disowned  11  mo.  27,  175S.  In  1786  he  was  assessed  in 
Marple. 

Esther  Gorman,  widow  of  Richard,  died  about   1807.     A  beaver  hat,

in  use.

Robert  Chamberlain1  was  doubtless  from  Wiltshire,  Eng.  His 
mother,  Elizabeth,  with  her  second  husband,  Francis  Hickman,  came  from 
that  part  of  England  prior  to  16S5,  in  which  year  the  latter  died.  Beside 
Robert  Chamberlain  she  had  at  least  three  children  by  her  first  husband, 
viz.,  Elizabeth,  m.  in  England  to  Richard  Rid^wav,  the  ancestor  of  the

and  for  his  better  preferment  in  the  world,"  a  messuage  or  tenement  and 
two  tracts  of  land  in  Middletown.  The  first  tract  consisted  of  60  acres, 
part  of  the  original  survey  of  300  acres,  and  the  second  of  100  acres 
purchased  from  Samuel  Tomlinson.     Lydia  made  her  mark.       L„n 

May  2,  1752,  John  Grist  of  York  Co.,  yeoman,  and  wife,  Susanna,  and 
Joseph  Sharpies,  Junr,  of  Chester  Co.,  yeoman,  and  wife,  Mary,  release  to

to  his  son  Daniel,  who  died  intestate,  leaving  the  three  children,  Susanna, 
Mary  and  Robert ;  of  whom  the  last  inherited  a  double  share.  This 
release  was  for  Robert's  share  but  it  appears  by  a  draft  of  the  whole  that 
his  sisters  had  1  70  acres  thereof. 

Joseph  Sharpless,  Jr.,  by  lease  and  release.  Feb.  15,  and  16,  1739) 
conveyed  to  his  brother  Samuel,  2 1  acres  and  44  perches  of  land,  part  of 
the  60  acres  given  to  him  by  their  father,  for  ^31  :  17  :  6.  In  1764  he  was 
assessed  in  Middletown  with  13S  acres  and  buildings,  worth  ^20  per 
annum.  6  horses,  5  cows  and  10  sheep;  on  all  of  which  the  tax  was 
/i:7:6. 

He  died  intestate  and  letters  of  administration  were  Granted  Feb,  25, 
1769,  to  his  widow  and  son  Joseph.  The  inventory,  by  Robert  Mendenhall 
and  Isaac  Chamberlin,  amounted  to  ^405  :  15  :  g}4,  including  an  eight-day 
clock,  valued  at  ^16. 

Man' Sharpies  and  others  were  appointed  12  mo.  29,  1777,  to  endeavor 
to  discourage  the  too  frequent  use  of  spirituous  liquors,  and  to  visit  those 
who  kept  taverns  in  order  to  prevail  with  them  to  decline  the  business. 
She  was  chosen  an  overseer  for  Middletown  Mtg.,  12  mo.  28,  1778,  with 
Agnes  Minshall  and  Abigail  Swaffer,  and  was  succeeded  9  mo.  22,  1  786.  by

The  name  of  Mendenhall  was  originally  Mildenhall  (sometimes 
contracted  to  Minall),  from  the  manor  of  Mildenhall  in  Wiltshire.  John 
Mendenhall  came  over  as  early  as  1683,  and  settled  in  Concord,  where  also

Nicholas  Newlin,  a  gentleman  in  easy  circumstances,  with 
Elizabeth,  his  wife,  and  children  emigrated  from  Mt.  Melick,  County 
Tyrone,  Ireland,  in  16S3,  and  settled  in  Concord  township,  (now)  Delaware 
Co.,  Pa.  His  certificate  from  Friends  in  Ireland,  dated  12  mo.  25,  16S2, 
expresses  dissatisfaction,  with  his  removal,  for  which  he  had  given  no 
satisfactory  reason,  '■  but  our  Godly  jealousy  is  that  his  chief  ground  is 
fearfulness  of  sufferings  here  for  the  testimony  of  Jesus,  or  coveting 
worldly  liberty."  He  gave  evidence  before  the  Provincial  Council,  7  mo. 
7,  16S3,  respecting  ill  usage  of  sailors  by  James  Kilner,  master  of  the 
Levee  of  Liverpool,  upon  which  he  doubtless  had  been  a  passenger. 

In  1685  he  was  appointed  to  a  seat  in  the  Provincial  Council,  and  was 
for  a  time  one  of  the  justices  of  the  courts  of  Chester  County.  He  had  a 
laro-e  estate  in  Concord  and  Birmingham  and  built  a  mill  at  the  former 
place  in  very  early  times.  Friends'  meetings  were  held  at  his  house  as 
early  as  16S7,  ar>d  after  his  death.  May,  1669,  were  continued  at  his  widow's. 
She  died  in  171 7.  Some  of  their  children  appear  to  have  remained  in 
Ireland,  but  three  of  them,  Nathaniel,  John  and  Rachel,  came  to  this 
country  and  from  the  first  are  descended  those  of  the  name  here.  John 
died  unmarried  and  Rachel  married  Ephraim  Jackson. 

A  horoscope  among  the  "Taylor  Papers"  bears  the  inscription, 
"Netus  Xatheniel  Nulen  anno  1665,  desem  iS  d:  3  h:  21  m:  P.  M.,"  which 
would  make   it  appear  that  Nathaniel  was  young  when   married,   2    mo.

property,  justice  of  the  county  courts  and  a  trustee  of  the  Loan  Office  of 
the  province.  In  1724  he  purchased  a  tract  of  over  7000  acres  on 
Brandywine,  now  known  as  Xewlin  township.  Although  advanced  in  life

Joseph  Sharpies  and  wife  Lydia  conveyed  to  their  son  Samuel 
Sharpies,  of  Middletown,  weaver,  July  24,  and  25,  1736,  100  acres  of  the 
original  survey  in  Middletown,  being  the  eastern  part  thereof.  Samuel 
also  purchased  from  his  brother  Joseph,  by  lease  and  release,  Feb.  15,  and 
16,  1739,  21  acres,  44  perches  more  of  the  original  tract;  and  by  deed  of 
April  5.  1754,  obtained  from  Thomas  Grisell  and  Margaret,  his  wife,  95^

acres  of  overplus  land,  cut  off  by  the  re-survey  of  1 701-2,  and  patented  to 
Thomas  Martin.  In  1764  he  was  assessed  with  217  acres  and  buildings,

Nathan  Sharpies  removed  with  his  parents  to  West  Cain  township,  in 
1737,  and  on  June  4,  1740,  they  conveyed  to  him  193  acres  of  land  in  that 
township,  it  being  the  western  half  of  the  tract  which  his  brother  Benjamin 
had  formerly  owned.  This  land  lay  about  a  mile  westward  of  West  Cain 
Meeting  and  was  lately  owned  principally  by  Phinehas  Ash.  Nathan 
married  and  took  his  wife  to  this  place,  but  in  1  744  they  removed  to  a  part 
of  her  father's  land  in  Bradford,  containing  32  acres,  on  which  Nathan  took 
a  lease  for  seven  years  dated  Mar.  25,  1743  (1744?),  Joseph  Townsend 
agreeing  to  erect  a  barn  thereon  by  the  1st  of  June,  1744.  A  certificate 
dated  10  mo.  20,  1744.  transferred  their  right  of  membership  from  Bradford 
to  Concord  Monthly  Meeting,  of  which  latter  meeting  Birmingham  was  a 
branch. 


174  THE  SHAKPLESS  FAMILY. 

Nathan  Sharpies  of  Bradford,  yeoman,  and  wife  Hannah,  Apr.  22,  and 
23,  1747,  conveyed  to  Nathaniel  White,  of  West  Cain,  their  land  in  that 
township,  for  ^200,  and  by  deeds  of  lease  and  release,  3  mo.  (May)  4,  and 
5,  1  747,  purchased  from  William  Dean,  of  Birmingham,  and  wife,  Lydia, 
203  */C  acres,  in  Goshen  township,  for  ^400.  This  is  now  included  in  the 
southern  part  of  the  borough  of  West  Chester,  being  bounded  by  the  east- 
ern and  western  limits  of  the  borough  and  extending  from  Union  Street 
southward  84  perches. 

Nathan  probably  removed  his  dwelling  place  ere  long  to  his  new  pur- 
chase which  was  adjoining  the  land  of  his  father-in-law.  His  will,  dated  5 
mo.  13,  1755,  and  proven  June  1 1,  1755,  gives  to  his  wife  the  plantation  of 
200  acres,  whereon  he  lived,  until  his  son  William  should  arrive  at  the  age 
of  21  years;  also  the  personal  estate,  out  of  which  she  was  to  raise  the 
sum  of  ^100,  for  his  daughters,  Martha  and  Hannah,  when  of  age  :  William 
to  have  the  land  and  pay  his  sisters  ^5,  each,  his  mother  ^5,  yearly,  and 
provide  her  a  home. 

Hannah  Sharpies  was  married  again,  4  mo.  13,  175S,  at  Birmingham 
Mtg.,  to  Charles  Ryant  of  Goshen,  formerly  of  Concord,  whose  first  wife 
was  Ann  Chamberlin,  dau.  of  John  and  Lettice,  of  Aston.  By  his  second 
wife  he  had  two  children — 

Ann,  b.  1  mo.  13,  1759  ;  d.  8  mo.  29,  1823  ;  m.  Caleb  Haines. 
Nathan,  b.  8  mo.  27,  1762  ;  probably  died  young. 

To  Hannah  Ryant  her  father  devised  the  32  acres  whereon  she  had 
lived  in  Bradford,  and  she  with  her  husband  conveyed  it  to  her  nephew, 
Nathan  Sharpies  (son  of  Jacob),  in  1775.  Mary  Brinton  and  Hannah 
Ryant  were  appointed  overseers  of  Birmingham  Mtg.  8  mo.  7,  1758,  in 
room  of  Martha  Townsend  and  Sarah  Taylor  ;  and  Hannah  was  succeeded 
by  Elizabeth  Painter,  8  mo.  7,  1760.  Charles  Ryant  married  a  3d  wife, 
Mary  Carrell,  Sept.  22.  1 79 1 ,  before  Thomas  Cheyney,  Esq.,  for  which  he 
was  disowned  by  Friends. 


Richard  Townsend,  b.  9  mo.  (Nov.)  30,  1645,  at  or  near  Ciren- 
cester, in  Gloucestershire,  Eno\  is  thought  to  have  been  the  son  of  a 
Richard  Townsend  who,  as  a  Friend,  suffered  persecution  by  imprisonment 
at  Cirencester  in  1660,  1662  and  1675.  It  is  also  stated  that  the  son  be- 
came a  Friend  and  "received  the  Truth  in  the  love  thereof  3  mo.  1st. 
1672,  went    to    London    in    the   3d  mo.    1676,   and  was   married  to  Ann

Hutchins,  3  mo.  25,  1077.  He  came  to  Pennsylvania  in  company  with 
William  Penn,  on  the  Welcome,  1682,  and  settled  at  first  near  Chester, 
where  he  was  concerned  in  setting  up  the  first  mill  near  that  place,  for 
which  the  timbers  were  brought,  ready  framed,  from  England.  About  the 
close  of  16S3,  he  removed  to  the  neighborhood  of  Germantown,  Phila- 
delphia County,  where  he  erected  another  mill.  In  Proud's  History  of 
Pennsylvania  will  be  found  some  account  of  his  experiences  as  written  by 
himself.  He  became  a  minister  among  Friends  and  paid  a  religious  visit 
to  England  in  1706-8.  In  1 713  he  removed  to  Philadelphia.  He  died  at 
the  residence  of  his  nephew,  Joseph  Townsend,  in  East  Bradford,  1  mo.  28, 
1732,  and  was  buried  on  the  30th,  at  Philadelphia.  His  children  were 
Joseph,  b.  10  mo.  2,  1678,  d.  young;  Hannah,  b.  8  mo.  13,  1680,  m.  Isaac 
Cook  of  Germantown,  9  mo.  14,  1706,  and  d.  2  mo.  18,  1763  ;  James,  b.  on

Richard  Townsend  of  Bucklebury  in  Berkshire,  weaver,  perhaps  the 
father  of  the  emigrant  above,  was  buried  5  mo.  19,  1697,  aged  95. 

William  Townsend  of  Bucklebury,  carpenter,  brother  of  Richard,  the 
emigrant,  was  married  1 1  mo.  28,  1679  to  Jane  Smith,  but  she  did  not  long 
survive,  and  he  was  married  again,  2  mo.  1,  1683,  at  Faringdon  Magna, 
Berks,  to  Mary  Lawrence  of  Little  Coxwell,  by  whom  he  had  Joseph, 
William,  Mary,  b.  5  mo.  4,  16S9,  and  Joan,  b.  4  mo.  27,  1690.  He  was 
buried  at  Bucklebury  5  mo.  19,  1692  (if  the  date  has  been  correctly  copied.) 


Joseph  Townsend1,  b.  11  mo.  18,  1684,  was  young  when  his 
father  died  and  lived  some  time  with  Oliver  Sansom,  a  highly  valued 
Friend.  He  was  bound  apprentice  Sept.  29,  1699,  to  Jonathan  Sargood,  a 
weaver,  for  seven  years:  was  married  9  mo.  27,  17 10,  to  Martha  Wooder- 
son,  b.  9  mo.  iS,  1683,  dau.  of  Julian  and  Esther  Wooderson.  They  with 
his  sister  Joan  received  a  certificate  from  a  Monthly  Meeting  at  Newbury 
in  Berkshire,  dated  1 1  mo.  15,  171 1,  which  was  presented  to  Abington  Mo. 
Mtg.,  Penna.,  of  which  his  uncle  Richard  was  then  a  member. 

Joseph  and  wife  brought  a  certificate  from  Abington  to  Concord  2  mo. 
11,  1 71 5  ;  thence  to  Chester  6  mo.  1,  1720,  and  he  and  his  wife  were  both 
overseers  of  Chester  Meeting  for  some  time,  but  on  7  mo.  26,  1725,  they 
received  a  certificate  to  Abinfj-ton.  Articles  of  agreement  were  signed  Oct. 
21,    1725,  between  John  Wanton,  of  Newport,  Rhode  Island,  and  Joseph 


I  76  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Townsend,  of  Bristol  township,  Philadelphia  Co.,  weaver,  for  the  conveyance 
to  the  latter  of  800  acres  in  East  Bradford,  Chester  Co.,  Pa.  The  price 
was  ^40,  per  100  acres,  to  be  paid  in  three  instalments — ^100  immediately, 
^100  on  Oct.  2i,  1726,  and  the  remainder  Oct.  21,  1727.  The  deeds  of 
lease  and  release  were  executed  Sept.  6,  and  7,  1727.  He  appears  to 
have  removed  at  once  to  the  land,  as  his  certificate  from  Chester  was 
brought  to  Concord  Mo.  Mtg.  1 1  mo.  3,  1725  ;  after  which  he  and  his  wife 
were  active  members  of  Birmingham  Meeting.  He  died  4  mo.  9,  1766, 
and  his  widow  3  mo.  2,  1767  ;  both  buried  at  Birmingham.  Their  children

said  to  have  had  eleven  children,  of  whom  three  died  young  and  their

169.  Esther,  m.  John  Heacock. 

Jacob  and  Jane  Pyle  resided  in  Thornbury,  near  the  present  village  of 
Thornton,  Delaware  Co.,  Pa.  It  is  said  he  died  in  his  69th  year.  In  1 764 
he  was  assessed  as  a  weaver  with  15  acres,  one  mare  and  one  cow. 

Robert  Pyle1  of  Horton  in  the  parish  of  Bishops  Cannings,  county 
of  Wilts,  maltster,  and  Ann  Stovey  of  Hilperton  in  the  same  county,  were 
married  Nov.  16,  16S1.  Her  father,  William  Stovey,  had  been  the  victim 
of  long  continued  persecution  on  account  of  his  religious  principles  ;  died 


LINE  OF  JANE  3,  JOSEPH'.  xj-j 

at  Hilperton  1 1  mo.  7,  1 705,  over  80  years  of  age.  William  Smith  of 
Bromham  house  in  Wiltshire,  having-  purchased  from  William  Penn  1250 
acres,  by  lease  and  release  Aug.  1,  and  2,  1682,  conveyed  150  acres  thereof 
to  Robert  Pyle  May  1,  and  2,  1683,  and  the  latter  doubtless  embarked  for 
Pennsylvania  soon  after. 

William  Coole,  of  Devizes  in  Wiltshire,  writing  to  his  sister  Sarah 
Bezer,  of  Chichester,  Penna.,  12  mo.  24,  1683,  says,  "I  sent  several  letters 
by  they  (when  John  Gibbens  &  Rob.  Pile  &  Edward  Beazer  went)  &  A 
Box  with  butens  &  knives  &  other  things.  I  hope  they  are  Recd  because 
I  saw  yesterday  2  leters  from  Rob.  Pile."  Again  writing  to  his  sister  Jean 
Coole  2  mo.  iS,  1684,  he  says,  "this  day  we  Recd  thy  letter  dated  ye  20th 
of  y*  8th  mo :  83,  which  was  great  satisfaction  to  us  because  we  long 
waighted  to  hear  from  you  because  I  understood  by  a  leter  y'  came  from 
R:  Pile  y*  his  family  was  at  ye  widdow  Beazer's  house  &  not  a  word  of  ym 
how  they  was  ;  wch  leter  came  near  2  months  agoe." 

Robert  Pyle's  brothers  Nicholas  and  Ralph  were  also  among  the  early 
settlers.  It  is  conjectured  that  their  father's  name  was  Robert,  as  we  rind 
that  Robert  Pyle  of  Stanton  Barnard  in  the  county  of  Wilts,  yeoman, 
executed  a  power  of  attorney,  Aug.  29,  16S8,  to  enable  Robert  Pyle,  Junr, 
and  Nicholas  Pyle  of  Pennsylvania  to  collect  money  due  on  bond  to  the 
former.  The  bond  had  been  given  by  George  and  John  Chandler  March 
31,  1686,  and  they  had  subsequently  embarked  for  Pennsylvania. 

Robert  Pyle  took  up  his  150  acres  of  land  in  Bethel  township,  where 
he  settled,  and  died  about  1730.  The  children  of  Robert  and  Ann  Pyle 
were — 

Sarah,  b.  n  mo.  27,  16S2  ;  d.  12  mo.  16,  1706  ;  m.  John  Vernon. 

Robert,  b.  7  mo.  17,  1684  ;  d.  1717  ;  m.  Elizabeth  Swaffer. 

William,  b.  11  mo.  26,  1685  ;  d.  1734  ;  m.  Olive  Bennett. 

John,  b.  6  mo.  8,  1687  ;  d.  1752  ;  m.  Lydia  Thomas  and  Susanna  Chamberlin. 

Mary,  b.  u  mo.  13,  16SS  ;  m.  Thomas  Moore,  1713. 

Jacob,  b.  1  mo.  5,  1691  ;  d.  1717  ;  m.  Alice  Bowater. 

Joseph,  b.  11  mo.  5,  1692  ;  d.  1754  ;  m.  Sarah  Dicks  and  Sarah  (Pennell)  Gibbons. 

Daniel,  b.  5  mo.  29,  1694  !  d.  1736  ;  m.  Mary  Chamberlin  and  Mary  Pennell. 

The  monthly  meetings  were  frequently  held  at  Robert  Pyle's  house, 
and  he  appears  to  have  acted  as  clerk  thereof.  No  other  member  took  a 
more  active  part  in  Church  affairs. 

Nicholas  Pyle1  purchased.  Mar.  1,  16S8,  from  John  Palmer  and 
wife  Man-,  and  John  Hannum  and  wife  Margery  (daughters  of  Robert 
Suddery),  150  acres  in  Bethel,  and  settled  thereon,  but  on  Mar.  2,  1696,

conveyed  the  land  to  his  brother  Robert,  and  removed  to  Concord 
township,  at  what  is  now  Concordville.  He  was  married  9  mo.  1688,  to 
Abigail  Bushell,  and  in  1713  to  Ann  Webb.  His  children  were  Mary, 
Edith,  Nicholas,  Samuel,  James,  Joseph  and  Sarah,  all  by  his  first  wife 
except  perhaps  the  last.     He  died  in  17 16. 

Ralph  Pyle1  unlike  his  brothers,  was  not  a  Friend.  He  lived  in 
Concord  and  his  first  wife,  Elinor,  who  died  July  25,  1726,  aged  63,  was 
buried  at  the  Episcopal  Church  in  that  township.  He  died  about  1741, 
leaving  a  wife,  Mary,  and  son  William.  The  latter  married  Betty  Chads, 
a  sister  of  John  Chads  of  Chads'  Ford,  and  died  June  1,  1746,  aged  46: 
buried  at  Concord  Church. 

John  Pyle2,  son  of  Robert,  was  married  in  1 710,  to  Lydia  Thomas, 
dau.  of  Peter  and  Sarah,  and  again  7  mo.  20,  17 16,  to  Susanna  Chamberlin, 
dau.  of  Robert  and  Mary,  of  Concord.  By  the  first  he  had  Sarah  (m.

Sharpies  of  Nether  Providence,  made  9  mo.  23.  1784,  by  William  Swaffer 
and  Daniel  Sharpies,  amounted  to  £71  :  15:  $l/2.  He  died  intestate  and 
administration  was  granted  to  his  son  Abraham,  Oct.  5,  1784. 

Robert  Barber,  cordwainer,  was  an  early  settler  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  Chester  and  was  married  in  1690  to  Hannah  Ogden,  but  it  does 
not  appear  that  he  left  any  children.  He  died  in  1 70S,  and  in  his  will 
mentions  a  nephew,  James  Barber,  whose  daughter  and  only  heir,  Mary 
Barber,  became  the  wife  of  John  Young,  cooper,  of  Chester.  James 
Barber  m.  Susanna  Richards  of  Aston  and  was  a  taxable  in  Chester  from 
1  7 15  to  the  time  of  his  death  in  1732.  He  was  doubtless  a  brother  to 
Robert  Barber  who  married  Hannah  Tidmarsh,  5  mo.  17,  17 18,  at  Chester 
Mtg.,  and  in  1728  removed  to  the  neighborhood  of  Columbia  on  the 
Susquehanna,  where  he  had  taken  up  1000  acres  of  land. 

John  Young  was  of  Middletown,  1730,  and  of  Chester  1732,  1734, 
1739  and  1740.  He  and  his  wife  were  deceased  before  their  daughter's 
marriage,  and  she  was  received  into  membership,  at  Concord  Mtg.,  7  mo. 
3.  1750.  James  and  Thomas  Young  were  witnesses  to  her  marriage  and 
may  have  been  near  relatives.  Administration  on  the  estate  of  John 
Young  was  granted  to  Henry  Camm  Oct.  20,  1742.

I  So  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Jacob  Sharpies  removed  with  his  parents  to  West  Cain  township  in 
1737.  He  received  a  certificate  from  Bradford  Mo.  Mtg.,  9  mo.  15,  1744, 
to  Chester;  thence  to  Concord  2  mo.  25,  1748,  and  as  a  member  of 
Birmingham  particular  meeting  obtained  a  certificate  to  Chester  7  mo.  7, 
1763,  with  his  wife  and  six  children:  thence  to  Concord  5  mo.  26,  1766. 
He  was  appointed  an  overseer  of  Birmingham  Mtg.  8  mo.  8,  1770,  in  room 
of  John  Carter,  deceased,  and  was  succeeded  by  Samuel  Osborn  2  mo.  7, 
1776.  Ann  Sharpies,  his  widow,  was  married  8  mo.  21,  1776,  at  Concord 
Mtg.,  to  Joseph  Talbot  of  Aston,  being  his  third  wife.  He  died  6  mo.  16, 
1783.     His  widow  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  to  Darby  Mo.  Mtg., 

II  mo.  24,  17S3  ;  thence  to  Concord  1  mo.  3,  1788  ;   thence  to  Philadelphia 
(N.  District)  1  mo.  9,  1793. 

Jacob  Sharpies  probably  settled  in  East  Bradford  at  the  time  of  his 
marriage.  A  John  Sharpies  is  in  the  list  of  taxables  of  that  township,  in 
1750,  but  this  must  have  been  an  error  instead  of  Jacob.  In  1764  Jacob 
was  assessed  in  Upper  Darby,  with  a  house  and  135  acres  of  land,  4  horses, 
6  cattle  and  12  sheep.  In  1775  he  was  in  Thornbury  with  265  acres  and 
buildings,  worth  ^30,  per  annum,  1  servant,  6  horses,  8  cattle  and  12 
sheep.  It  is  thought  his  residence  in  this  township  was  a  little  south-west 
of  the  present  Westtown  Station,  but  he  was  probably  a  renter.  In  his 
will,  dated  7  mo.  9,  1775,  proven  July  26,  1775,  he  gives  to  his  wife  the 
best  bed  and  furniture  thereunto  belonging,  ^30,  and  the  interest  of  ^180, 
during  life  :  to  son  John  ^20 :  to  dau.  Lydia  Dutton  the  interest  of  ^50 
during  life  or  the  principal  after  her  husband's  death  :  executors  to  sell 
stock,  household  goods  and  utensils  of  husbandry,  and  the  residue  of  estate 
to  be  divided  between  eight  of  the  children,  John,  Nathan,  Joseph,  Jesse, 
Ann,  Jane,  Martha  and  Hannah,  when  of  age:  after  wife's  death  the  ,£180 
to  be  divided  between  these  children,  giving  the  sons  each  £27  :  10,  and 
the  daughters  £17  :  10  :  son  Jesse  to  be  put  to  a  trade:  son  Nathan  and 
cousin  Isaac  Sharpies  executors. 

The  inventory  by  Robert  Mendenhall  and  John  Townsend  8  mo.  4, 
1775,  contains  many  articles  not  summed  up,  among  which  are,  wearing 
Apparel],  ^21  :  12  :  6;  i6}4  hives  of  bees  ,£6:5;  Bonds  /241  :  2  ;  Bills, 
notes,  &c,  ^272  :  17  :  7. 

Lydia  (Phillips)  Porter  of  Philadelphia  has  her  grandfather's  bible  in 
which  is  written  "March  10th,  1758:  Jacob  and  Ann  Sharpless  in  memory 
of  yr  Brother  John  Blakey,"  by  which  it  appears  to  have  been  a  gift  from 
John  Blakey. 

Of  Charles  Balkey   nothing  further  has  been  learned.     A  bible 


LINE  OF  WILLIAMS^ JOSEPH*.  rSi 

which  belonged  to  John   Sharpies,  son   of  Jacob,  contains  this   record  of 
"Charles  &  Susanna  Blakey's  children:"

be  joined  in  membership  with  Friends,  so  this  meeting  Receives  her  as  her 
conduct  agrees  with  our  Principles."  She  obtained  a  certificate  from 
Goshen  to  Concord  Mo.  Mtg.,  10  mo.  21,  1747.  John  Blakey  was  evidently 
of  a  pious  turn  of  mind  judging  from  the  character  of  the  books  which  he 
presented  to  his  relatives,  but  it  is  supposed  he  did  not  become  a  Friend. 
He  died  Feb.  10,  1806,  aged  82  years.

William  Sharpies  removed  with  his  parents  to  West  Cain  in  1737.  and 
received  a  certificate  from  Bradford  to  Concord  Mo.  Mtg.,  9  mo.  15,  1744. 
Upon  his  marriage  he  settled  at  Xewlin's  mill  in  Concord.  His  will,  dated 
3  mo.  24.  1750.  and  proven  Aug.  13,  1751,  gives  to  his  wife,  Abigail,  ^200, 
some  furniture,  all  the  pewter  she  brought  with  her,  a  riding  mare  and  half 
the  profit  from  my  leased  land  in  Sadsbury :  to  son  Abraham  my  writing

1 84  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMIL  Y. 

Thomas  Shourds,  the  historian  and  genealogist  of  Salem  Co.,  N.  J., 
says  that  Isaac  Moss,  son  of  Isaac,  came  to  Salem  where  he  purchased  a 
lot,  built  a  handsome  house  and  ended  his  days.  He  was  honored  and 
highly  respected  for  his  great  philanthropy  in  assisting  the  poor.  His 
sister  Rebecca  kept  house  for  him  and  was  his  principal  heir.  He  was  a 
diligent  attendant  of  Friends'  meetings,  was  an  old  man  at  the  time  of  his 
death  and  said  to  have  never  married. 

The  Phila.  records  give  the  death  of  Rebecca,  a  dau.  of  Thomas  Moss, 
4  mo.  26,  1773,  aged  14  months.  No  further  attempt  has  been  made  to 
trace  the  family.

Howard  devised  to  his  son  John,  for  seven  years,  a  plantation  in  Edgmont

Peter  Howard  removed  to  Philadelphia  as  an  apprentice  to  his 
brother-in-law,  Benjamin  Kendall,  a  shoemaker,  in  1745.  On  Jan.  17, 
1  769,  Peter  Howard  of  Philadelphia  city,  cordwainer,  and  Sarah,  his  wife, 
executed  a  release  to  James  Howard  of  Edgmont,  yeoman,  for  a  one-third 
interest  in  60  acres  of  land  devised  to  Peter  and  his  brothers,  John  and 
Richard,  by  their  father,  for  ^109  :  o  :  10. 

The  edition  of  181 6  says:  "Peter  married  Elizabeth  Chaddock,  from 
England  :  and  after  her  death  he  married  Sarah  Paschall,  of  Philada.  By 
both  he  had  ten  children,  though  how  many  by  each  cannot  be  ascertained, 
neither  all  their  names  :  but  such  as  are  recollected  are  as  follow  :  Henry, 
Isabella,  Rebecca,  Peter  dec'd,  and  Peter."  As  one  of  the  children  was 
then  living  this  statement  indicates  considerable  apathy  on  this  subject  in 
those  who  miijht  have  griven  a  more  correct  record.

10  mo.  31,  1763.  At  a  meeting  held  4  mo.  30,  1770,  it  was  represented 
that  Thomas  Low,  Richard  Howard  and  four  others  "  have  several  years 
ago  left  these  parts  without  acquainting  this  Monthly  Meeting,  or  seeking 
to  obtain  certificates,  agreeable  to  our  Discipline  ;  and  as  we  can  give  no 

account  where  any  of  the  above  named  persons  are 

this  meeting  doth  hereby  declare  the  said  Thomas  Low  [and  others] 
to  be  no  members  of  our  Religious  Society." 

William  Cargill,  of  Nyack,  N.  Y.,  b.  1806,  writes  thus  of  his 
grandfather  Richard  Howard:  "He  served  in  the  American  army,  if  not 
the  seven  years  of  the  Revolutionary  war,  the  greater  part  of  it.  After  the 
close  of  the  war  he  came  in  a  place  now  called  Sparkill,  a  railroad  station 
on  the  North  Jersey  and  New  York  railroad  running  from  Jersey  City  into 
this  place.  It  branches  off  at  Sparkill  to  the  Erie  road  and  runs  just  west 
of  my  grandfather's  little  place,  for  he  bought  a  small  place  in  this, 
Rockland  County,  Orange  township.  At  that  time  it  was  called  Tappan, 
not  over  three  miles  from  where  Major  Andre  was  tried  and  executed. 
Just  about  the  close  of  the  war  he  changed  his  situation  in  life  and  married 
a  lady  in  New  City,  located  in  Clarkstown,  the  capital  of  this  county. 
This  is  a  very  beautiful  spot,  and  was  settled  by  the  Wood  Family,  and 
from  the  Wood  Family  a  number  of  noted  men  have  sprung.  My 
grandmother's  name,  therefore,  was  Jane  Wood,  until  she  married  Richard 
Howard.  He  was  a  tailor  by  trade  but  taught  school  a  portion  of  his  time. 
A  lady  residing  in  this  village,  named  Catharine  Blauvelt,  went  to  school 
to  him.  His  portrait  can  be  seen  by  calling  at  my  brother's,  Mr.  Henry 
Howard  Cargill,  No.  99  Barrow  Street,  New  York  City."

James  Howard  was  a  farmer  and  resided  on  the  lands  in  Edgmont  which 
formerly  belonged  to  his  father,  a  part  of  which  he  inherited  and  the 
remainder  he  purchased  from  the  other  heirs.  In  1 764  he  was  assessed 
with  100  acres  and  buildings,  3  horses,  4  cattle  and  9  sheep-  In  1786  he 
was  the  assessor  and  returned  for  himself  150  acres,  worth  ^600,  4  horses,

At  a  monthly  meeting,  12  mo.  25,  1780,  James  Howard  produced  an

this  term  they  were  to  be  divided  between  the  daughters,  Sarah  and  Mary, 
of  his  son  Thomas  Dell,  deceased. 

Thomas  Swayne3,  produced  a  certificate  from  New  Garden  Mo.  Mtg., 
to  Chester,  dated  9  mo.  24,  1750,  for  self  and  wife  ;  it  being  three  months 
after  his  grandfather's  death.  Mention  is  made,  2  mo.  24,  1755,  of  a 
difference  between  William  Pennell,  Jr.,  and  Isaac  Weaver  (who  had  married 
the  daughters  of  Thomas  Dell,  Jr.),  of  the  one  part,  and  Thomas  Swayne 
of  the  other  part,  which  Chester  Meeting  had  not  been  able  to  settle. 
Thomas  was  not  inclined  to  refer  the  matter  to  arbitrators,  and  it  was  con- 
cluded, 4  mo.  28,  1755,  to  allow  him  two  weeks  to  do  so  :  "  But  if  Thomas 
Swayne  refuse  or  neglect  to  appoint  men  and  enter  into  Bonds,  longer  than 
two  weeks,  Then  this  meeting  gives  liberty  to  William  Pennell  and  Isaac 
Weaver  to  proceed  to  the  tryal  of  the  case  by  Law,  as  they  may  be  advised, 
But  withall  requires  the  friends  so  concerned  to  behave  towards  each  other 
as  friends,  and  in  the  moderation  becoming  Brethren  proceed  in  the  case  to 
the  last."     The  sequel  is  not  given. 

Thomas  Swayne  received  a  certificate  to  New  Garden,  3  mo.  23,  1759, 
for  self,  wife  and  three  children,  but  brought  one  back,  dated  4  mo.  2,  1763, 
for  the  same  persons.  He  was  appointed  overseer  of  Springfield  Meeting

Reuben  Roberts  produced  a  certificate  from  Gwynedd  Mo.  Mtg.,  Pa., 
to  Chester,  6  mo.  26,  1745,  and  became  a  member  of  Middletown  Mtg.  : 
received  a  cert,  to  Gwynedd,  8  mo.  29,  1750,  and  again  produced  one  from 
that  meeting  11  mo.  28,  1757.  He  and  his  wife  presented  acknowledgments 
6  mo.  30,  1760,  for  their  marriage  "by  a  priest,"  and  his  paper  was  directed 
to  be  read  at  Providence  Mtg.,  hers  at  Chester. 

After  the  death  of  John  Sharples3,  his  real  estate,  consisting  of  195 
acres  in  Nether  Providence,  and  two  other  lots  of  4  acres  and  8  acres,  was 


LINE  OF  JOHN  3,  JOHN'.  191 

awarded  by  Orphans'  Court  in  1 77 1 ,  to  Reuben  Roberts  who  obtained 
releases  from  the  other  heirs  as  follows:  from  Richard  Bradley  of  Wil- 
mington, N.  C,  on  behalf  of  his  wife,  July  20,  1 77 1  :  from  William  Swaffer 
of  Chester,  guardian  of  Lucretia  W.  Sharpies,  Nov.  30,  1771  :  from  George 
Sharpies  of  Germantown,  same  date  :  from  Jeremiah  Starr  of  Limerick 
township,  Philadelphia  Co.,  in  behalf  of  his  wife,  same  date,  and  from 
Thomas  Swayne,  George  Swayne,  William  Home  and  wife,  Phebe,  April  5, 
1774.  The  shares  were  ^1 79  :  o:  4,  but  Lucretia  W.  Sharpies,  as  the 
daughter  of  the  eldest  son,  received  a  double  share  or  ^"358  :  0  :  S*4;  to 
secure  which  Reuben  Roberts  mortgaged  to  William  Swaffer,  Oct.  21,  1 77 1 , 
the  land  east  of  the  Providence  road,  97  acres,  and  8^4  acres  in  Ridley,  on 
the  Delaware  River.  In  order  to  pay  the  other  shares  he  mortgaged  the 
land  on  the  west  side  of  the  road,  98  acres,  Nov.  30,  1 77 1 ,  to  John  Price, 
Esq.,  of  Lower  Chichester,  for  ^200.  This  was  satisfied  Dec.  1,  1775,  by 
payment  to  Elisha  Price,  executor  of  John  Price.  June  8,  1776,  Reuben 
Roberts  and  wife,  for  ^5,  conveyed  to  Thomas  Leiper  of  Philadelphia  city, 
tobacconist,  one  quarter  of  an  acre  on  Crum  Creek  for  use  of  a  mill  race  ; 
and  on  Nov.  16,  1776,  they  conveyed  to  Roger  Dicks,  for  ,£530,  58  acres 
of  the  eastern  part  of  the  land,  next  to  Crum  Creek.  This  enabled  them 
to  discharge  the  mortgage  to  William  Swaffer,  which  was  satisfied  Nov  20, 
1776.  They  had  conveyed  5  acres,  61  perches  in  Chester  township  to 
Thomas  Sharpies,  Jan.  2,  1772,  which  was  probably  the  lot  called  4  acres 
in  1 77 1. 

In  1774,  Reuben  Roberts  was  assessed  in  Nether  Providence  with  170 
acres  and  buildings,  worth  £17,  per  annum,  3  horses,  5  cattle  and  8  sheep, 
yet  he  had  in  reality  195  acres  of  land.  In  1796  a  survey  and  division  of 
his  remaining  land  was  made  by  Roger  Dicks,  in  accordance  with  which 
survey  Reuben  Roberts  made  his  will,  giving  to  his  son  Ellis  the  buildings 
and  about  38^  acres  on  each  side  of  the  Providence  road  ;  to  son  John 
about  50  acres  of  the  northern  part  of  the  farm,  and  about  8  acres  to 
Abigail  Eng-le.

At  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  12  mo.  25,  1752,  "Richard  Bradley  appeared 
here  and  produced  a  certificate  from  Settle  Monthly  Meeting  in  Yorkshire, 
Great  Brittain,  Which  is  Received  and  ordered  to  be  Lodged  with  other 
certificates."  (A  recent  search  for  the  document  was  unsuccessful.)  As 
members  of  Providence  Mtg.,  he  and  his  wife  received  a  certificate  to 
Goshen  8  mo.  25,  1755,  which  says  that  he  "some  years  ago  came  well 
Recommended  by  certificate  from  England  to  us,  and  during  his  abode 
here  his  conversation  hath  been  sober  and  orderly.  Elizabeth,  his  wife, 
being  brought  up  among  us,  hath  been  of  an  orderly  conversation  and  well 
esteemed  of  us  :  their  affairs  setled  to  satisfaction  as  far  as  we  know." 
They  took  a  certificate  back  to  Chester,  dated  5  mo.  16,  1757,  and  received 
one  for  themselves  and  a  child  directed  to  Cane  Creek,  North  Carolina, 
dated  4  mo.  24,  1758. 

It  is  said  they  settled  at  first  in  Guilford  County  where  there  was  a 
colony  of  Friends,  but  they  afterward  removed  to  Wilmington,  where 
many  of  their  descendants  still  reside.  The  Friends'  records  of  that  State 
have  not  been  accessible  but  it  is  understood  that  their  children  left  the 
Society  early  in  life,  yet  their  posterity  hold  in  great  veneration  the  memory 
of  their  Quaker  ancestor,  Elizabeth  Bradley.  Richard  Bradley's  mother  is 
said  to  have  been  a  Wood  and  his  birth-place  Kendal  in  Yorkshire. 


52.     John  Sharpies4,  Johns,  b.  in  Ridley,  5  mo.  26,  1736;  d.  prior 

to  1 77 1,  (it  is  presumed)  in  North  Carolina;  m. Slay  and  left  one 

child. 

260.  Lucretia  Woomy,  "  married  a  man  in  S.  Carolina  about  the  year  1783.  She  also 
married  a  second  time.  This  is  all  we  can  say  respecting  her."  (Edition 
of  1816.) 

John  Sharpies,  Junr,  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  Mo.  Mtg., 
6  mo.  30,  1760,  to  Dunn's  Creek  Mo.  Mtg.,  Bladen  Co.,  N.  C.  Enclosed 
with  the  inventory  of  his  father's  property  is  a  bond  given  by  John  Sharpies, 
Jur„  and  John  Sharpies,  senr,  both  shoemakers,  to  Daniel  Sharpies,  for 
/50,  dated  6  mo.  3.  1760  :  witnesses,  Nehemiah  Davis  and  Richard  Bradley. 
A  receipt  is  endorsed  Dec.  3,  1761,  for  £$  :   10,  the  interest  to  date,  and  on 


LINE  OF  JOHm,  JOHN'.  193 

5  mo.  4.  1767,  a  receipt  for  the  "  princeble  in  full,"  signed  by  Daniel 
Sharpies,  together  with  the  following  memorandum  :  "I  paid  sixty  five 
pounds  to  Daniel  :  it  would  have  been  sixty-six  pound,  ten  shilings,  only 
he  bated  me  30  shilings,  which  I  shall  Expect  John  shall  be  acoumptable  to 
me  for,  as  so  much  of  what  he  ma  have." 

At  an  Orphans'  Court,  Dec.  iS,  1770,  on  petition  of  Thomas  Swayne, 
William  Swaffer  was  appointed  guardian  for  Lucretia  Woomy  Sharpless, 
under  14  years  of  age,  dau.  of  John  Sharpless,  Jr.,  deceased. 

One  Joseph  Sleigh  or  Slay  produced  a  certificate  to  Chester  Mo.  Mtg., 

6  mo.  26,  1734,  from  Cork,  Ireland,  but  he  was  disowned  in  1764,  and 
nothing  is  known  of  his  family.

George  Sharpies  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  to 
Philadelphia  2  mo.  27,  1758.  His  wife  received  one  to  the  same  meeting 
7  mo.  26,  1762.  They  may  have  resided  temporarily  in  Ridley  after  this 
date  as  we  find  one  George  Sharpies  an  inmate  of  Ridley  township,  1764, 
but  they  were  living  in  Germantown  in  1771,  and  later:  in  1S16  they  lived 
with  their  unmarried  daughters  in  Philadelphia. 

John  Lewis  of  Philadelphia  city,  "Bisket  baker,"  son  of  Samuel 
Lewis  of  Haverford,  carpenter,  and  Grizzel,  his  wife,  was  married  March

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMIL  Y. 


Rebecca  R.  Jones?,  of  Doylestown,  Pa.,  writes  thus  of  the  wife  of  George 
Sharpies  :  She  could  trace  her  ancestry  back  as  far  as  Prince  John  and 
Richard  of  Wales.  The  name  was  originally  Llewellyn,  which  became 
changed  to  Lewis,  and  some  of  the  family  married  into  the  Sharpies  family 
in  England.  She  treasured  up  many  little  relics  of  her  own  family,  as  well 
as  those  of  her  husband's.  Silver  and  table  linen  were  all  stamped  with 
the  family  crest — the  dove  with  the  olive  branch.  My  great-grandmother's 
old  chest,  that  had  crossed  the  sea,  contained  papers  and  letters,  also 
clothing,  of  a  style  that  led  my  aunt  to  suppose  the  Sharpies  family 
belonged  to  the  higher  classes  of  English  society.  Unfortunately  in  the 
lapse  of  time,  with  its  changes,  the  old  chest  with  its  contents  have  been 
scattered  and  lost,  I  could  never  learn  what  became  of  all  these  relics  of 
the  past.

E.  Whiteland  5  mo.  16,  181 5,  and  buried  at  Goshen;  dau.  of  John  and

Josiah  Hibberd  settled  on  a  farm  in  East  Whiteland,  at  or  near  the 
present  Frazer  Station,  Penna.  R.  R.,  for  which  his  parents  gave  him  a 
deed  10  mo.  17,  1765.  The  title  to  this  land  runs  as  follows:  William 
Penn  conveyed  Oct.  24,  and  25,  1681,  to  William  Jenkins,  of  Tenby,  in 
Pembrokeshire,  Wales,  1000  acres  in  Penna. ;  who  conveyed  500  acres 
thereof  Sept.  3,  1686,  to  Francis  Howell  of  Lancilio  in  Caermarthenshire. 
Of  this  300  acres  was  laid  out  at  "  Duffrin  Mawr"  (Welsh  for  Great 
Valley)  in  Whiteland,  and  Francis  Howell,  by  will  dated  July  15,  1695, 
devised  it  to  his  brother  Thomas  Howell,  who  conveyed  it  Sept.  1,  1700  to 
James  Thomas.  By  warrant  of  Feb.  18,  1701  the  land  was  resurveyed  by 
David  Powell  and  found  to  be  483  acres.  James  Thomas  partly  conveyed 
1 50  acres  thereof  to  Alexander  Ross,  and  afterward,  with  Martha  his  wife, 


LINE  OF  PHEBE*,  JOHN'.  I95 

and  Alexander  Ross  and  Katharine  his  wife  conveyed  the  same  to  John 
Sharpies-,  Jan.  31,  1714,  who  devised  to  his  daughter  Phebe  Hibberd. 
Benjamin  Hibberd  and  wife  conveyed  the  same  June  20,  and  21,  1757,  to 
George  Smedley,  |r.,  who  reconveyed  it  on  the  22d  to  Benjamin  Hibberd 
in  order  to  vest  the  title  in  the  latter  instead  of  his  wife-  There  is  a 
survey  of  apparently  the  same  land  in  the  name  of  Daniel  Sharpies,  called 
270  acres  and  allowance,  and  in  the  deed  to  Josiah  Hibberd  the  lines  are 
said  to  be  140  and  320  perches,  which  would  make  280  acres.  Josiah  also 
purchased,  in  1774,  12  acres,  119  perches,  adjoining  his  other  land  in 
Whiteland,  and  by  deed  from  George  Arnold,  dated  Aug.  21,  1787, 
became  the  owner  of  800  acres  on  Lost  Creek,  Harrison  Co.,  Va.  By  his 
will,  dated  Sept.  18,  1802,  he  devised  all  his  lands  in  Pennsylvania  and 
Virginia  to  his  sons,  Owen  and  Josiah,  to  be  equally  divided  between  them. 

Josiah  Hibberd  was  appointed  overseer  of  Goshen  Mtg.,  9  mo.  6, 
1 765,  in  room  of  Josiah  Garrett,  and  was  succeeded  by  Randall  Malin, 
11  mo.  it,  176S.  He  was  appointed  9  mo.  5,  1777,  one  of  a  committee  on 
Sufferings  occasioned  by  the  war,  but  on  5  mo.  7,  1779,  his  wife  made  an 
acknowledgement  for  having  paid  his  double  tax  or  fine,  imposed  for 
non-compliance  with  military  requisitions. 

Robert  Owen  with  Rebecca,  his  wife,  and  some  children,  came 
from  Wales  in  1690,  and  settled  in  Merion  township,  near  Philadelphia, 
where  he  died  5  mo.  S,  1697.  His  son  John,  b.  12  mo.  26,  1692,  d.  1  mo., 
1752,  settled  at  Chester,  and  was  at  different  times  elected  Sheriff  of  the 
county.  He  was  married  8  mo.  22,  1 719,  at  Springfield  Mtg.,  to  Hannah 
Maris,  b.  12  mo.  17,  1698;  dau.  of  George  Maris2  and  Jane  Maddock,  of

19S  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Aaron  James  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  conveyed,  Oct.  26,  1741,  to  their 
son  Aaron,  the  above  tract  of  142  acres  in  Westtown,  and  the  latter  settled 
thereon.  He  was  married  8  mo.  28,  1741,  at  Concord  Mtg.,  to  Hannah 
Elwall  of  Westtown.  They  had  three  children,  Jane,  who  married  Joseph 
Hibberd,  Jacob,  b.  4  mo.  4,  1744,  m.  9  mo.  14,  1763,  to  Christina  Ryan, 
and  Isaac,  b.  10  mo.  13,  1745,  who  d.  in  Willistown,  1772,  unmarried. 
The  land  was  divided  and  98  acres  thereof  assigned  to  Jane  and  Isaac,  and 
the  latter  conveyed  his  interest  to  Joseph  Hibberd  3  mo.  5,  1 77 1 ,  who,  with 
his  wife,  sold  the  98  acres  to  Nathan  Matlack,  3  mo.  26,  17S1. 

Joseph  Hibberd  also  obtained  96  acres,  100  perches  of  land  in 
Willistown,  by  gift  from  his  father  Jan.  13,  1774,  and  with  his  wife  sold  the 
same,  Oct.  9,  1784,  to  his  brother  Caleb  Hibberd.  A  certificate  was 
granted  by  Goshen  Mo.  Mtg.,  12  mo.  17,  1784,  for  Joseph  Hibberd  and 
family,  directed  to  Pipe  Creek  Mo.  Mtg.,  in  Frederick  Co.,  Maryland, 
where  it  is  presumed  they  ended  their  days.  His  father  devised  to  him 
14  acres  and  32  perches  of  land  in  Willistown.

Garrett3  (William2,  William1,)  and  Elizabeth  Hatton,  of  Willistown.  They

Benjamin  Hibberd  remained  at  the  homestead,  which  he  inherited,  and 
was  assessed  in  1786  with  148  acres,  2  horses  and  three  cattle;  in  1799 
with  the  same  land,  valued  at  $11  per  acre,  house,  brick  and  stone,  and 
stone  spring-house,  and  stone  and  frame  barn,  3  horses  and  6  cattle. 
He  was  appointed  12  mo.  11,  1S01,  to  record  certificates  of  removal,  in  the 
room  of  Abraham  Pratt,  and  on  10  mo.  8,  1802,  was  chosen  overseer  of 
Willistown  Meeting  in  room  of  Amos  Garrett.  He  was  succeeded  by 
Amos  Garrett,  as  overseer,  9  mo.  9,  1808,  and  by  Samuel  Grubb  10  mo.  1, 
1 81 7,  as  recorder  of  certificates.  It  is  said  that  his  death  was  caused  by 
his  clothes  taking  fire  when  he  was  burning  brush. 


WILLISTOWN  MEETING. 


The  marriage  of  Benjamin  Hibberd  in  1769,  at  a  meeting  in  Willistown 
is  the  first  allusion  to  a  meeting  being  held  in  the  township.  It  was  prob- 
ably held  at  first  in  a  private  house,  and  only  in  the  winter,  when  traveling 
was  more  difficult.  Other  marriages  are  stated  to  have  been  accomplished 
there,  as  follows:  one  11  mo.  25,  1773;  one  12  mo.  22,  1774;  one  11  mo. 
21,  17S2  and  two  in  1784.  At  Goshen  Mo.  Mtg.,  4  mo.  9,  1784,  "The 
ffrd*  who  have  usually  held  a  meeting  During  the  winter  season  at  Willis- 
town,  now  Request,  with  the  approbation  of  Goshen  &  Newtown  prepara- 
tive meetings,  to  have  a  meeting  settled  there  &  to  hold  a  preparative 
meeting;  which  is  left  for  further  sollid  consideration."  The  subject  was 
again  considered  10  mo.  8,  1784  when  it  was  concluded  to  drop  it  for  the 
present.  On  6  mo.  8,  1787,  "The  friends  who  have  usually  attended  the 
Willistown  meeting  Requests  to  have  a  meeting  settled  there,  to  be  held 
on  first  and  fifth  days,  except  the  day  before  Goshen  Mo.  meeting,  which  is 
left  under  consideration  another  mo."  At  the  next  meeting  it  was  con- 
eluded  to  forward  the  request  to  the  Quarterly  Meeting,  at  a  session  of 
which,  held  11  mo.  io,  1788,  it  was  granted  after  the  manner  proposed. 

The  present  meeting-house  was  built  in  1798,  but  at  what  date  a  prior 
one  was  erected  we  have  no  account  at  present.  After  the  new  one  was 
built  the  old  one  was  used  for  some  time  as  a  dwelling,  but  upon  the 
division  in  the  Society,  in  182S,  the  Orthodox  portion  again  made  use  of 
the  old  building.     It  was  torn  down  about  the  year  1875.

Caleb  Hibbard  substituted  the  "a"  in  his  name  for  the  "e"  used  by  his 
father  and  the  others  of  the  family,  and  his  descendants  follow  his  example. 
He  learned  the  tanning  business  and  established  a  tannery  on  his  farm. 
His  father  gave  him  50  acres  of  the  original  tract  Jan.  1 1,  1774,  and  5  acres 
of  another  tract  the  day  previous.  In  1784  he  bought  his  brother  Joseph's 
farm,  out  of  which  the  5  acres  had  been  taken.  His  father  also  devised  to 
him  about  101  acres  in  two  tracts.     In  1774  he  was  assessed  with  50  acres, 

1  horse  and  2  cattle;  in  1786,  with  176  acres,  a  tanyard,  1  horse  and  three 
cattle.  In  1799  he  had  the  same  land,  worth  510,  per  acre,  2  stone 
houses,  2  log  barns,  tanyard  and  buildings,  2  horses,  4  cattle  and  a  saw-mill.

in  Ridley.  They  afterward  removed  to  Willistown  and  settled  on  a  tract  of 
52S  acres,  on  Crum  Creek,  next  above  Francis  Yarnall.  Peter  died  4  mo.

Allen  Farquhar1,  grandfather  of  Allen,  above,  came  from  Ireland, 
and  in  1725  and  1726,  was  a  resident  taxable  in  Chester  Co.,  Pa.,  as  of 
New  Garden  township.  After  this  he  removed  to  Pipe  Creek,  Md.  His 
son  William2,  b.  in  Ireland  7  mo.  29,  1705;  d.  at  Pipe  Creek  9  mo.  21, 
1778,  remained  in  Chester  County  for  some  time  and  became  a  member  of 
New  Garden  Mo.  Mtg.,  where  he  married,  2  mo.  19,  1733,  Ann  Miller, 
dau.  of  James  and  Katharine  (Lightfoot)  Miller,  also  from  Ireland.  In  1735 
they  removed  to  Pipe  Creek,  taking  a  certificate  to  Hopewell  Mo.  Mtg.,  in 
Virginia,  and  settled  near  where  the  town  of  Union  Bridge  now  stands,  on 
land  conveyed  to  him  by  his  father  for  being  a  faithful  and  filial  son,  provided 
he  would  move  from  "  ye  province  of  Pennsylvania  to  ye  province  of 
Maryland,"  and  occupy  the  same.  William  was  a  tailor,  and,  tradition 
says,  used  to  make  up  buckskin  breeches,  take  them  to  Annapolis,  and 
with  the  proceeds  "enter"  more  land,  until,  about  1760,  he  had  possession 
of  2000  acres :  also  that  his  sister  Hannah  Owings,  a  Catholic,  from  near 
Emmettsburg,  Md.,  used  to  have  long  discussions  with  him  about  the 
heresy  of  his  faith.  He  was  influential  in  having  a  Friends'  meeting 
established  at  Pipe  Creek,  and  a  memorial  of  him  was  published  in  1787.

Lost  Creek  and  its  tributaries,  at  what  is  now  Lost  Creek  Station,  Harrison 
Co.,  W.  Va.  The  following  letter,  without  date,  must  have  been  written

the  merits  of  our  Dear  Redeemer  and  sing  that  new  song,  Glory  and  honour  to  the  lamb  who 
hath  redeemed  us  to  our  God  By  his  own  Blood.  And  my  Dear  sisters  I  shall  inform  you  how

Except  Rachel,  who  Continues  out  of  her  reason.  My  self  has  had  a  long  spell  of  Illness  this

Lewis  Howell  also  writes  (1884),  after  referring  to  Samuel  and  Ann 
Bond,  as  Seventh-day  Baptists,  as  follows :  "  My  grandfather,  E.  Howell, 
did  not  belong  to  that  school  but  respected  his  wife's  views  so  much  that 
he  sold  out  his  possessions  in  New  Castle  County  and  bought  land  in 
Shiloh,  so  that  his  wife,  Sarah,  might  be  near  a  Church  of  the  Sabbatarians. 
She  observed  the  seventh  day  as  a  sabbath,  and  he  the  first  day,  while  they 
lived.  The  sons  followed  the  father  and  the  daughters  the  mother, — not  a 
very  promising  plan  for  happiness,  although  my  father  told  me  it  was 
never  made  a  cause  of  trouble.  Ebenezer  Howell  purchased  the  farm 
near  Shiloh  in  1768,  built  a  brick  house  in  1770;  lived  on  it  till  he  died: 
(my  father,  George,  ditto,  and  the  prospect  is  that  I  shall  as  I  am  82.)  was 
a  Judge  of  the  Courts  for  Cumberland  County  before  the  Revolution,  of 
course  a  mark  for  the  tories.  His  wife  did  not  want  to  know  where  he 
was  at  night  as  they,  the  tories,  would  call  and  enquire  for  him."

It  is  claimed  that  Jonathan  Davis,  before  leaving  New  Castle  County, 
founded  Newark  Academy,  now  Delaware  College.  He  became  a 
Sabbatarian,  perhaps  through  the  influence  of  his  wife,  and  was  ordained 


206  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Nov.  13,  176S,  at  the  request  of  the  Church  at  Shiloh,  Cumberland  Co., 
N.  J.,  and  succeeded  Elder  Jonathan  Davis,  who  died  Feb.  2,  1769,  as 
pastor;  in  which  station  he  continued  until  his  death.  During  this  time  a 
new  meetinof-house  was  built,  of  brick,  and  there  was  a  lame  increase  of 
membership.  He  is  said  to  have  given  the  name  of  Shiloh  to  the  Church 
and  place,  which  had  been  known  as  Cohansey  Corners. 

Rev.  David  Davis,  the  5th  pastor  of  the  Welsh  Tract  Church,  was 
born  in  1708  in  the  parish  of  Whitchurch  and  county  of  Pembroke,  Wales; 
arrived  in  this  country  in  17 10,  was  ordained  in  1734,  and  died  Aug.  19, 
1769.  We  are  not  informed  as  to  his  parents,  yet  they  doubtless  brought 
him  over.  His  wife,  Rachel,  was  the  daughter  of  Rev.  Elisha  Thomas,  the 
the  2d  pastor  of  the  Welsh  Tract  Church,  who  was  born  in  1674,  in 
Caermarthenshire,  Wales,  and  arrived  in  Penna.,  1701  :  died  Nov.  7,  1730, 
and  was  buried  at  Welsh  Tract,  where  a  tomb-stone  was  erected  to  his 

memory.     His  daughter  Rachel  married  first, Jones,  and  secondly 

David  Davis. 

A  paper  in  possession  of  Susan  J.  Bowen  of  Bridgeton,  N.  J., 
apparently  written  by  David  Davis,  contains  a  partly  mutilated  record  of 
his  family,  viz. : 

My  son  Rees  Davis  was  borne  September  the  20,  1732  :   Died  Novr  :    1  :    1756. 

My  son  Jonathan  Davis  was  borne  July  the  7  :    1734. 

My  son  Thomas  David  was  borne  Decern  the  24  :   1735. 

My  son  John  Davis  was  borne  Septem  the  7  :   1737. 

My  Daughter  Susanah  Davis  was  borne  Septem  29  :    1739. 

My  Daughter  Mary  Davis  was  borne  Aug.(?)  the  28  :    1741- 

My  Daughter  Margret  Davis  was  borne  June  the  28  :    1743- 

And  my  Dear  Wife  Died  July  the  23  :    17 — 

There  appears  to  have  been  a  child  by  a  second  wife  but  the  name 
and  date  are  missing.  Morgan  Edwards,  in  his  "  Materials  towards  a 
History  of  the  American  Baptists,"  1770,  mentions  these  children  of  David 
and  Rachel  Davis  (except  Thomas),  and  says  that  they,  with  the  exception 
of  John  and  Margaret,  were  married  into  the  families  of  Miles,  Bonham, 
Bentley  and  Parr.  John  supplied  the  church  for  a  time  after  his  father's 
death,  but  in  1770,  was  about  to  remove  to  Boston.

Elnathan  and  Susanna  Davis  resided  on  a  farm  on  the  south  side  of 
the  pike,  running  to  Bridgeton,  about  half  a  mile  east  of  Shiloh.  Both 
were  buried  at  the  Shiloh  Seventh-day  Baptist  Church;  she  on  Apr.  14, 
1S10,  when  Joel  Smith  preached  from  Eccl.  xii.  6  and  7.  Micajah  Ayars 
says  "there  are  one  or  two  linen  towels  in  our  family  that  Susanna  Davis 
made,  we  suppose  about  one  hundred  years  old." 

Elnathan  was  a  noted  surveyor  and  much  employed  in  his  own  and 
neighboring  counties,  and  even  as  far  off  as  Maryland.  His  journeys  to 
that  province,  when  a  young  man,  becoming  frequent,  his  friends  inquired 
the  cause,  to  which  he  would  answer,  "  Interest  on  a  bond  to  be  attended 
to."  Tradition  says  that  not  until  he  brought  home  his  bride  did  the 
friends  suspect  it  was  a  living' bond  that  had  drawn  him  thither.  He  held 
the  appointment  of  deputy  surveyor  for  Cumberland  County  and  was 
employed  in  making  some  important  surveys.  His  accuracy  was  so  well 
known  that  later  surveyors  have  seldom  disagreed  with  the  lines  run  by 
him. 

About  the  year  1662,  three  brothers,  John,  Jonathan  and  William 
Davis,  came  to  New  England  in  the  company  of  Welsh  Baptists  under 
the  leadership  of  the  Rev.  John  Miles.  They  named  the  place  of  their 
settlement  Swansea  from  that  of  their  home  in  Wales.  About  the  year 
1687  a  number  of  families,  including  the  Bowens,  Barretts  and  others, 
under  the  Rev.  Timothy  Brooks,  removed  to  South  Jersey,  and  settled  at 
Bowentown,  Barretts  Run  and  Shiloh.     Some  of  the  Davis  family  removed

to  Long  Island,  whence  Jonathan  and  Elnathan  Davis,  supposed  to  be  sons 
of  one  of  the  above  three  brothers,  came  to  Trenton,  and  Elnathan  became 
the  Surveyor  General  of  New  Jersey.  Jonathan  Davis,  Jr.,  son  of  Elnathan 
settled  at  Shiloh,  married  Esther,  daughter  of  Isaac  Ayars,   and  had  six 

children  :

SHILOH  CHURCH, 


Jonathan  Davis  of  Long  Island,  born  May  15,  1675,  married  a  Bowen 
of  the  Rev.  John  Miles'  company,  and  about  the  year  1700  settled  at 
Trenton  with  his  brother  Elnathan  Davis,  the  Surveyor  General.  He 
frequently  visited  his  wife's  relatives  at  Bowentown,  and  being  a  Seventh- 
day  Baptist  gained  numerous  converts  in  that  vicinity.  It  appears  that  in 
1 7 16,  these  Sabbath-keepers  had  a  temporary  organization,  and  held 
meetings  from  house  to  house.  At  length,  on  the  27th  of  March,  1737, 
the  Seventh-day  Baptist  Church  of  Shiloh  was  organized  with  the  following 
articles  of  faith  and  ao-reement,  and  names  as  found  in  the  oldest  records. 


~&* 


We  whose  names  are  hereunder  written  do  join  together  upon  the  articles  and  agreements 
following : 

1st.  We  believe  that  unto  us  there  is  but  one  God,  the  Father,  and  one  Lord,  Jesus 
Christ,  who  is  the  Mediator  between  God  and  mankind.  We  believe  the  Holy  Ghost  is  the 
Spirit  of  God.      1  Cor.  8  :  6  ;   1  Tim.  2:552  Tim.  3  :   16  ;  2  Peter  1:21;  John  14 :   26. 

2d.  We  believe  that  all  Scripture  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  given  by  inspiration, 
is  the  word  of  God,  (2  Peter  1  :  19-21  ;  2  Tim.  3 ;  16  ;  Mark  7 :  13  ;  1  Thess.  2  :  13  ;  Acts 
4  :  29-31.)  and  is  the  rule  of  faith  and  practice. 

3d.  We  believe  that  the  ten  commandments  that  were  written  on  two  tables  of  stone  by 
the  finger  of  God  continueth  to  be  the  rule  of  righteousness  unto  all  men.  Matt.  5  :  17-19  ; 
Mai.  4  :  4;  James  2  :    10;  James  1  :   25;  Romans  7  :   25;  3:  31;   13:  8-10;  Eph.  6  :  2. 

4th.  We  believe  the  six  principles  recorded  in  Hebrews  6  :  1,  2,  to  be  the  rule  of  faith 
and  practice. 

5th.  We  believe  that  the  Lord's  Supper  ought  to  be  administered  and  received  in  all 
Christian  churches.     Luke  22 :    19,  20;   1  Cor.  11:  23-26. 


SHILOH    CHURCH. 


209 


6th.  We  believe  that  all  Christian  churches  ought  to  have  church  officers  in  them,  as 
elders  and  deacons.     Titus  1:5:  Acts  6  :  3. 

;th.  We  believe  that  all  persons  thus  believing  ought  to  be  baptized  in  water  by  dipping, 
plunging,  after  confession  is  made  by  them  of  their  faith  in  the  above  said  things.  Mark  1  : 
4.  5  :   A.  ts  2  :   38  :  A.  ts  S  :  36,  37  ;  Rom.  6 :  3,  4 ;  Col.  2  :   12. 

Sth.  We  believe  that  a  company  of  sincere  persons  being  found  in  the  faith  and  practice 
of  the  above  said  things  may  be  said  to  be  the  church  of  Christ.     Acts  2  :  41,  42. 

9th.  We  give  up  ourselves  first  unto  the  Lord,  and  to  one  another,  to  be  guided  and 
governed  by  one  another  according  to  the  word  of  God.  2  Cor.  8:5;  Col.  2:  19:  Psa. 
133:   1  :  84:   1,  2,  4.  10.

To  Jonathan  Davis,  senior,  is  ascribed  the  honor  of  being  the  founder 
of  the  church.  He  died  in  1750,  leaving  no  children.  His  nephew, 
Jonathan  Davis,  Jr.,  was  chosen  at  the  constitution  of  the  church  as  the 
first  settled  pastor,  and  under  his  labors  the  members  increased  from 
eighteen  to  about  one  hundred.  He  had  for  many  years  a  colleague  in  the 
person  of  Eld.  Samuel  Bowen,  of  the  Timothy  Brooks  company. 

On  the  24th  of  March,  1738,  Caleb  Ayars,  Sr.,  deeded  to  the  church 
one  acre  of  land  for  a  meeting-house  lot  and  burial  ground,  and  a  frame 
house  for  worship,  30  by  40  ft.,  was  erected  the  same  year.  One  feature 
of  this  first  meeting-house  consisted  of  a  large  fire  place  in  the  centre  of 
the  room.  Another  fact  was  that  the  pastor,  at  his  death,  Feb.  2,  1769,  in 
his  60th  year,  was  buried  under  the  floor  of  the  meeting-house,  between 
the  pulpit  and  the  fire  place.  The  spot  is  now  identified  by  the  large  flat 
tombstone  placed  over  his  remains. 

The  second  pastor  was  Rev.  Jonathan  Davis  from  the  Welsh  Tract  in 
Delaware,  who  had  been  ordained  to  the  ministry  Nov.  12,  1768,  and 
continued  his  labors  till  his  death,  July  23,  1785.  It  was  this  man,  so 
eminent  for  learning  and  piety,  that  gave  the  name  of  Shiloh  to  the  place 
which  was  formerly  called  Cohansey  Corners.  Rev.  Jonathan  Jarman  was 
his  colleague  for  some  years  and  after  his  death  supplied  the  church  till  he 
moved  to  Cape  May,  where  he  died,  but  his  remains  were  brought  back  to 


210  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Shiloh  for  burial.  Rev.  Thomas  Jones,  a  First-day  Baptist  minister 
supplied  the  church  for  a  time,  and  Philip  Avars,  a  prominent  member, 
administered  the  ordinance  of  baptism  in   the  absence  of  a  pastor. 

In  1 7S6  Nathan  Avars  was  called  by  the  church  and  ordained,  and 
remained  pastor  till  his  death  in  18 10.  About  1790  a  division  took  place 
in  regard  to  doctrine,  and  under  the  preaching  of  Eld.  Moses  Winchester 
a  few  openly  espoused  the  theory  of  final  restoration. 

John  Davis,  the  youngest  son  of  the  second  pastor,  was  ordained  in 
1807,  and  continued  his  labors  with  the  church  till  1842,  when  he  resigned 
on  account  of  age.  Under  his  pastorate  there  were  large  revivals  and 
probably  the  most  extensive  ingatherings  in  the  history  of  the  church. 
During  the  year  1831,  when  he  was  assisted  by  Eld.  William  B.  Maxson. 
there  were  added  no  less  than  one  hundred  and  one  members. 

Rev.  Azor  Estee  was  the  next  pastor,  and  remained  nearly  three  years. 
Under  his  ministration,  assisted  by  Eld.  John  Green,  about  ninety  were 
added  to  the  church.  In  1S44,  Solomon  Carpenter  took  the  oversight  of 
the  church  but  was  soon  transferred  to  the  China  mission.  In  1845,  Eld. 
Samuel  Davison,  a  convert  to  the  Sabbath,  took  the  pastoral  charge,  and 
was  succeeded  in  1S48  by  Rev.  Giles  M.  Langworthy,  whose  sickness  and 
premature  death  again  left  them  without  an  undershepherd. 

Rev.  Enoch  Barnes,  a  convert  from  the  Methodists,  supplied  the 
pulpit  during  the  summer  of  1S50.  Eld.  George  R.  Wheeler  of  Salem 
also  officiated  occasionally,  but  was  soon  called  to  the  pastorate  of  the 
Marlboro  Church.  Rev.  William  Jones,  a  convert  to  the  Sabbath  while 
laboring  in  Hayti  under  the  Baptist  Free  Missionary  Society,  was  called  to 
take  charge  of  the  church  in  the  fall  of  1S50.  During  his  ministry  the 
present  brick  meeting-house  was  completed  and  dedicated,  the  old  building 
donated  to  the  Union  Academy  and  fitted  up  especially  for  the  wants  of 
that  institution.  After  the  dedication  of  the  new  meeting-house  Eld.  Jones 
continued  the  meeting's  from  night  to  night  which  resulted  in  a  large 
ingathering  of  the  young  people.  In  1853  he  resigned  in  order  to  go  as 
a  missionary  to  Palestine  and  was  succeeded  the  following  Spring  by  Rev. 
Walter  B.  Gillette.  The  latter,  after  a  successful  pastorate  of  twenty 
years,  with  many  refreshing  seasons  and  large  accessions  to  the  church, 
the  cause  of  education  advanced  and  the  present  Academic  building  erected, 
resigned  the  pastorate  to  go  as  missionary  in  the  Western  Association. 

In  April,  1873,  Rev.  A.  H.  Lewis  was  called  to  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
church.  A  parsonage  in  the  village  was  purchased  and  remodeled  at  a 
cost  of  about  three  thousand  dollars.     In  1875  tne  number  of  communicants 


2  i  2  THE  SHARPLESS  FA  MIL  ] '. 

was  about  three  hundred  and  seventy-five.  A.  H.  Lewis  remained  with 
the  Church  till  July  3.  1S76,  when  he  returned  to  Alfred  Centre,  N.  V., 
whence  he  came,  to  take  charge  of  the  theological  department  in  the 
University.  He  is  now  pastor  of  the  Plainfield,  N.  J.,  Seventh-day  Baptist 
Church.  Rev.  I).  H.  Davis,  a  graduate  of  Alfred  University,  was  the  next 
pastor,  but  after  three  years  he  was  chosen  by  the  General  Conference, 
Sept.,  1879,  to  go  as  a  missionary  to  China,  where  he  is  now  pastor  of  a 
church  in  Shanghai. 

Rev.  Theodore  L.  Gardiner,  a  graduate  of  Alfred  University,  began 
his  pastoral  labors  in  Dec,  1879,  and  still  remains  very  acceptably  with  the 
Church.  He  is  often  called  upon  to  fill  the  pulpits  of  different  churches, 
in  the  absence  of  their  pastors.  He  is  an  earnest  worker  in  the  cause  of 
temperance,  and  an  advocate  of  prohibition,  upon  which  he  is  frequently 
called  to  speak  in  different  places. 

The  first  land  owned  by  the  church,  being  one  acre,  forms  the  north- 
east corner  of  the  present  graveyard.  Since  then  additions  have  been 
made  until  there  are  now  about  six  acres.  The  first  house  was  used  for 
thirty-three  years  when  it  was  moved  to  the  village  and  used  as  a  mechanic's 
shop  by  Elijah  Ayars.  Said  Dea.  John  Bright's  mother — "  It  was  on 
account  of  the  old  meeting-house  stopping  at  Cohansey  Corners,  \n  t 
imitation  of  the  ark  resting  at  Shiloh,  that  our  village  received  that 
beautiful  name,  which  it  has  ever  since  retained."  The  frame  of  the  old 
building  was  afterward  taken  down,  and  now  forms  part  of  the  barn  owned 
by  Caleb  Henry  Sheppard.  In  1771,  a  brick  meeting-house  36^  by  40  ft., 
was  erected,  and  in  1824,  a  large  gallery,  on  three  sides,  was  added.  In 
1850  this  building  was  donated  to  the  Union  Academy  and  used  till  the  new 
academy  building  was  finished,  when  it  was  taken  down  and  the  large  trees 
which  surrounded  it  cut  awav  to  make  room  for  an  enlargement  of  the 
graveyard.  In  1850  the  present  building,  42  by  64  ft.,  was  erected,  and 
dedicated  in  1S51,  of  which  we  give  a  view.  A  picture  of  the  second 
building  mi^ht  have  been  of  more  interest  to  the  older  members  but  this 
will  be  familiar  to  the  greater  number.  Hundreds  have  gone  forth  to  help 
build  up  other  churches  in  various  places  in  the  West,  but  they  and  their 
descendants  must  look  back  to  Shiloh  as  the  home  of  their  fathers,  whose 
bones  lie  thickly  buried  in  the  quiet  graveyard  there.  The  fact  that  the 
church  has  been  largely  composed  of  the  descendants  of  the  Sharpless 
Family  is  the  excuse  for  giving  so  much  of  its  history,  which  is  mostly 
taken  from  an  account  prepared  in  1S75.  by  Ethan  B.  Swinney,  one  of  the 
family.

and  taxes  demanded  of  him  for  military  purposes,  and  had  collected  a  tax 
from  those  that  were  free  to  pay  ;  for  which  he  was  disowned  1  mo.  28, 
1782.     The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  testimony  against  him  : 

Whereas  Thomas  Sharpless,  having  a  birthright  amongst  us  (the  People  called  Quakers), 
but  for  want  of  attending  to  the  dictates  of  Truth  in  his  own  heart,  hath  deviated  so  far  as  to 
take,  or  subscribe  to,  a  Test,  the  tenor  of  which  is  inconsistant  with  our  Religious  principles, 
&  hath  paid  a  fine  or  fines  in  Lieu  of  personal  service  in  the  Militia  ;  therefore  in  order  to  clear 
the  Society  from  the  reproach  of  such  conduct,  we  disown  him  from  being  a  member  thereof, 
until  he,  being  sensible  of  his  Errors,  may  Condemn  the  same  to  the  satisfaction  of  this 
meeting :  which  that  he  may  is  our  desire.

tract  called  the  Horse  Shoe.  The  house  and  lot  of  4^  acres,  bought  from 
Davis,  were  conveyed  to  William  Willis  of  Chester  borough  Mar.  25,  1796. 
Thomas  bought  two  acres  of  marsh  from  William  Swaffer,  or  his  executors, 
but  dying  intestate  before  a  deed  was  executed,  the  same  was  conveyed  to 
his  administrators,  his  widow  and  son  William,  12  mo.  31,   1796. 

Martha  Sharpies  was  appointed  on  a  committee  to  have  care  of  the

2 1 8  THE  SHA  RPL  ESS  FA  MIL  J '. 

The  anti-slavery  movement  in  the  Society  of  Friends  may  be  said  to 
have  commenced  with  the  protest  of  the  settlers  at  Germantown  in  1688, 
which  was  forwarded  to  the  Yearly  Meeting,  but  "It  was  adjudged  not  to 
be  so  proper  for  this  meeting  to  give  a  positive  judgment  in  the  case,  it 
having  so  general  a  relation  to  many  other  parts  ;  and  therefore,  at  present, 
they  forbear  it."  Although  Friends  were  in  advance  of  others  in  this 
matter  yet  the  leaven  was  slow  to  work.  In  171 1,  Chester  Quarterly 
Meeting  expressed  dissatisfaction  with  the  buying  or  importation  of  negroes, 
and  the  subject  was  frequently  revived  in  after  years  ;  and  finally,  in  1758, 
the  Yearly  Meeting  advised  that  those  who  should  vindicate  the  practice 
and  be  concerned  in  so  doing,  should  not  be  permitted  "to  sit  in  meetings 
for  discipline  or  to  be  employed  in  the  affairs  of  Truth." 

At  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  11  mo.  25,  1776:  Thomas  Evans,  Daniel 
Sharpies  and  William  Fell  "  are  appointed  to  join  with  the  Quarterly 
Meeting's  committee  in  treating  with  all  such  members  belonmna-  to  this 
meeting  as  hold  slaves,  whether  arrived  to  full  age  or  in  their  minority, 
agreeable  to  the  Directions  of  the  Yearly  Meeting."  At  this  meeting  a 
manumission  was  produced  from  Ann  Yarnall,  for  a  negro  woman,  and 
"  Isaac  Sharpies  is  appointed  to  provide  a  Book  and  therein  to  record  all 
the  Manumissions  that  have  been  or  may  hereafter  be  produced  to  this 
Meetinor." 

A  committee  reported  to  the  meeting  held  7  mo.  26,  1773,  that  they 
had  visited  all  the  members  who  held  slaves  "in  order  to  excite  them  to 
restore  to  that  injured  People  their  undoubted  natural  Right  to  Liberty, 
consistant  with  Christianity  &  the  common  Rights  of  Mankind,  And 
proposals  have  been  made  by  some  towards  their  Freedom.  We  may  also 
inform  the  Meeting  that  since  the  former  visit  from  this  Meeting  several 
slaves  have  been  set  free." 

Daniel  Sharpies  was  appointed  an  overseer  of  Chester  Mtg.,  12  mo. 
30,  1776,  in  room  of  James  Barton.  The  Revolutionary  war  now  in 
progress  made  this  a  trying  time  to  Friends,  on  account  of  their  con- 
scientious opposition  to  all  wars  and  fighting.  At  a  monthly  meeting 
held  8  mo.  25,  1777  :  "Agreeable  to  the  Directions  of  the  Yearly  Meeting. 
Nathan  Yarnall.  William  Fell,  James  Wood,  George  Miller,  Daniel 
Sharpies,  Richard  Blackham  &  Joseph  Talbot.  Jur..  are  appointed  to 
Endeavour  to  unite  together  in  order  to  administer  suitable  advice  & 
Counsel  to  those  that  are  or  may  be  in  need  thereof,  at  this  time  of 
outward  commotion  &  Tryal :  And  keep  a  regular  Record  of  friends' 
sufferings  within  the  verge  of  this  Mo:>  Meeting."

Jonathan  Garrett  inherited  a  part  of  his  father's  land  in  E.  Goshen, 
north  from  Friends'  Meeting-house,  containing  140  acres.  On  Sept.  16. 
1777,  a  few  days  after  the  Battle  of  Brandywine,  the  American  and  British 
forces  had  some  skirmishing-  near  his  residence,  a  general  battle  being 
prevented  by  a  severe  rain  storm.  He  was  standing  in  the  open  doorway 
when  a  cannon-ball  passed  between  his  legs  and  out  the  back  door,  opposite, 
into  a  bank  of  earth  from  whence  it  was  afterward  dug  out.  He  remarked 
to  his  wife  that  they  had  better  take  the  children  to  the  cellar.  Shortly 
after  this  the  British  invaded  his  property  and  took  everything  eatable  they 
could  lay  hands  on,  together  with  their  horses,  among  which  was  a  favorite 
mare  which  her  father  had  given  to  his  wife.  Jonathan's  watch  is  now  in 
possession  of  his  grandson,  Jonathan  B.  Garrett,  of  West  Chester,  Pa. 


LIiVE  OF  MARYs,  JAMES  .  22; 

On  the  occasion  of  a  flood  which  carried  away  his  fences,  Jonathan 
laid  claim  to  some  rails  on  the  property  of  his  neighbor,  Jesse  Reece, 
whence  an  unfortunate  quarrel  arose  and  Jesse  struck  him  several  blows 
on  the  head  with  a  fence  stake,  from  which  death  resulted  the  succeeding 
night.  From  the  evidence  it  is  inferred  that  Jonathan  died  9  mo.  8,  1801, 
and  Jesse,  being  a  member  of  Goshen  Meeting,  was  disowned  for  the  rash 
act.  1 1  mo.  6  1801,  at  which  time  he  was  not  to  be  found.  He  must  have 
remained  away  for  a  considerable  time  but  eventually  surrendered  himself 
and  was  indicted  for  murder,  May  28,  1805.  The  jury  who  tried  the  case 
were  Phineas  Waterman,  William  Sharpies,  Joseph  Cotterell,  Joseph 
Peirce,  Nathan  Sharpies,  Taft  Benjamin,  Abraham  Wells,  Isaac  Taylor, 
Jun..  Thomas  Downing,  Esq.,  Abraham  Pratt,  Jabez  Hoopes  and  Jesse 
Garrett,  who,  on  June  1st,  returned  a  verdict  of  manslaughter.  Jesse 
Reece  was  sentenced  to  two  years  imprisonment  in  the  penitentiary. 

The  land  of  Jonathan  Garrett  was   sold  by  his  son   James  and  his 
widow,  as  administrators,  to  Bartholomew  Trener,  by  deed  of  Aug.  1,  181 1. 


77-  Mary  Garrett4,  Mary3,  was  married  about  1762,  to  Jonathan 
Eldridge,  of  Goshen,  who  was  not  a  Friend  and  the  marriage  being  "by 
a  priest"  she  was  disowned  11  mo.  5,  1762.     They  had  two  children, 

402.  Hannah,  b.  10  mo.  2,  1763  ;  d   2  mo.  22,  1764. 

403.  Joseph,  b.  10  mo.  11,  1765  ;  d.  1  mo.  17,  1845  I  m-  Lydia  Griffith. 

Jonathan  Eldridge  is  said  to  have  been  a  twin  brother  to  David 
Eldridge  of  New  Jersey,  where  the  family  were  among  the  earliest  settlers  ; 
also  that  he  had  a  brother  William  and  some  sisters  but  he  was  the  only 
one  of  the  family  who  came  to  Chester  County.  After  the  death  of  his 
first  wife  he  and  his  son  Joseph  were  received  into  membership  at  Goshen 
Mtg.,  2  mo.  8,  1 77 1 ,  and  he  was  married  again  10  mo.  3,  1771,  at  that 
place,  to  Sarah  Davis,  dau.  of  Ellis  and  Lydia  Davis  of  Goshen.  By  her  he 
had  a  dau.  Lydia,  who  never  married.  The  marriage  certificate  states 
that  he  was  the  son  of  Thomas  Eldridge,  then  deceased. 

He  resided  in  East  Marlborough  township  for  a  time  previous  to  and 
after  his  second  marriage,  but  in  1774  he  was  assessed  in  Goshen  with  100 
acres  and  a  saw-mill.  He  lived  at  what  has  been  since  known  as  McCall's 
Mill,  and  now  or  late  of  Samuel  Hannum,  just  west  of  the  line  between 
East  and  West  Goshen.  His  death  resulted  from  a  cut  on  his  hand  when 
cutting  a  stick  with  his    knife,  in    the  woods,  which,   though   apparently

John  Haines  "of  Ancocas  Creek,"  Burlington  Co.,  N.  J.,  was  a 
purchaser  of  several  hundred  acres  of  land  in  and  near  the  present  borough 
of  West  Chester,  Pa.,  and  by  his  wife  Esther  (Borton)  had  several  children. 
To  his  son  Isaac  he  conveyed,  May  30,  171 7,  254  acres  in  Goshen,  and  the 
latter  having  married  Catharine,  dau.  of  Ellis  David,  in  1 7 1 4,  settled 
thereon.  By  his  will,  in  1766,  he  devised  the  homestead  and  193  acres  to 
his  son  Josiah,  who  was  first  married  4  mo.  11,  1765,  to  Mary  Cock,  of 
Thornbury.  The  second  marriage  was  by  a  justice,  for  which  their 
acknowledgment  was  accepted  12  mo.  9,  1768.  He  was  again  married 
(9  mo.  4,  1775  ?)  to  Ann  Price,  widow  of  David,  and  dau.  of  William  and 
Mary  Husband,  by  whom  he  had  several  children.  For  his  last  marriage, 
which  was  by  a  priest,  and  to  one  not  a  member,  he  was  disowned  by 
Goshen  Mo.  Mtg.,  7  mo.  5,  1776.  By  deed  of  Apr.  23,  1787,  he  and  his 
wife  conveyed  the  homestead  to  William  Rogers  (now  belonging  to  the 
heirs  of  Benjamin  Hoopes),  and  removed  to  Washington  Co.,  in  the 
western  part  of  Penna.,  where  Josiah  died  2  mo.  6,  1822,  in  the  90th  year 
of  his  ag-e.

(St.  Michael's  and  Zion  Church  record,  Phila.),  to  Leonard  Helm 
( Halebs,  edition  of  1816),  b.  in  Baltimore  Co.,  Md.,  7  mo.  13,  1737 ;  d.  1790  ; 
son  of  Maybury  and  Ann  Helm.  Both  were  buried  in  the  family  burying

William,  b.  4  mo.  23,  1773  ;  d.  unmarried. 


At  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  12  mo.  26,  1763,  complaint  was  made  of  Rebekah 
Sharpies,  now  wife  of  Leonard  Helm,  for  marriage  by  a  priest  to  one  not  a 
member,  and  being  removed  to  Maryland.  A  testimony  against  her  was 
signed  1  mo.  50,  1764,  and  directed  to  be  read  at  Providence  Meeting. 

Maybury  Helm,  supposed  b.  in  Maryland,  1708,  d.  1790;  m.  about 
1734,  Ann  Parrish,  dau.  of  Edward  and  gr.  dau.  of  Capt.  Edward  Parrish, 
who  emigrated  from  Yorkshire,  Eng.,  prior  to  1669,  and  patented  large 
tracts  of  land  in  Anne  Arundel,  Howard  and  Baltimore  Counties,  a  portion 
of  which,  called  "  Parrish's  Fear"  is  now  in  possession  of  Rebecca  and 
Mar)-  McKean,  daughters  of  John  and  Ann  McKean.  Leonard  Helm  was 
a  farmer  and  survevor. 

87.  James  Sharpies4,  James3,  according  to  the  former  edition, 
married  Ann  Wilson  of  Lancaster  County,  Pa.,  where  they  settled,  and  had 
a  son,  Isaac.  His  father,  in  his  will,  Feb.  18,  1775,  does  not  mention  his 
son  James  as  living,  but  devised  ^5,  to  his  grandson,  James  Sharpies,  son 
of  James.     As  the  grandson  is  so  named  more  than  once  we  will  call  him 

426.     James,  of  whom  nothing  certain  is  known.     See  next  generation. 

In  the  assessment  of  1  764,  James  Sharpies,  Jr.,  is  put  down  among 
the  single  men,  in  Nether  Providence,  but  afterward  transferred  to  the 
inmates,  and  a  mason  by  trade.  His  marriage  probably  took  place  about 
that  time.     George  Wider  and  one  Anna  Catharine  Sharpless,  widow,  were 


228  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

married  (St.  Michael's  and  Zion  Church  record)  June  i,  1766,  but  nothing 
further  is  known  of  her.  One  James  Sharpless  was  a  private  in  Capt. 
Peter  Z.  Lloyd's  company,  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  1776,  but  his  place  in 
the  family  has  not  been  found. 

88.  Joshua  Sharpies4,  James3,  "married  Susanna  Brogdon, 
daughter  of  Samuel  Brogdon,  of  Middletown,  and  settled  in  Providence." 
(Edition  of  1816.)     They  had  two  children, 

427.  Isaac,  b.  1772;  d.  1852;  m.  Hannah  Wright. 

428.  Samuel,  d.  1863  ;  rh.  Mary  Holmes. 

In  1786  Joshua  Sharpies  was  a  taxable  in  Chester  township  with  32 
acres  of  land  and  one  cow.     He  died  in  1 8 1 1 ,  about  the  67th  year  of  his  age. 

Samuel  Brogdon  was  a  taxable  in  Chester  township,  1735-40, 
but  was  not  of  that  or  Middletown  in  1747,  1750,  1764  or  1774.  John 
Taylor,  who  established  iron  works  at  the  site  of  Glen  Mills  on  Chester 
Creek,  and  owned  a  store  which  was  under  the  charge  of  his  son  Isaac, 
wrote  thus  to  the  latter,  July  22,  1742:  "Son  Isaac, — Let  sister  Mary 
have  goods  to  the  value  of  three  pounds,  five  shillings,  being  for  half  a 
Ton  of  Pig  Iron,  &  charge  it  to  account."  The  son  endorsed  this, 
"  fathers  order  for  aunt  Mary  Brogdon."  Whether  she  was  the  mother  of 
Susanna  has  not  been  ascertained,  but  the  name  was  not  a  common  one. 
It  is  somewhat  singular  that  no  notice  appears  to  have  been  taken  by  the 
meeting  of  Joshua's  marriage.

"by  a  priest,"  and  was  disowned  by  Chester  Mo.    Mtg.,    1 1    mo.   28,    1774.

He  inherited  the  homestead  with  1 6 1  acres,  by  the  will  of  his  father,  and 
was  a  tavern-keeper  from  17S5  till  his  death.  In  17S7  he  was  assessed 
with  37  acres,  2  horses  and  1  cow,  the  remainder  of  his  land  being  probably 
leased  to  some  one  else.  His  widow  m.  John  VernonS  (Jonathan1*,

Josiah  Wilkinson,  supposed  from  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  was  a  tavern- 
keeper  at  the  "  Boot,"  in  Goshen  township,  1 761-3,  and  was  succeeded  by 
(his  son-in-law  ?)  Joseph  Lacey,  1 765-1 771.  josiah  removed  to  Nether 
Providence  and  in  1772  purchased  109  acres  there  which  formerly  belonged 
to  Joseph  Sharpies2.  By  his  first  wife,  Rosamond,  he  had  Matilda  (Lacey), 
b.  May  10,  1 74 1  ;  Israel,  b.  Dec.  24,  1743;  Josiah,  b.  Aug.  15,  1745;

Wilkinson  removed  to  New  London  township,  Chester  Co.,  and  have 
numerous  descendants,  of  whom  William  Steele,  a  grandson,  has  furnished 
some  of  these  records. 


92.  Sarah  Dell4,  Rachels,  was  married  7  mo.  20,  1750,  at  Chester 
Mtg.,  to  Isaac  Weaver,  son  of  Richard  and  Elizabeth,  of  Chester 
borough.  It  is  said  that  he  died  in  his  89th  year  and  she  in  her  82d,  and 
another  account  places  his  birth  about  1723.  His  grandson,  Harmon 
Weaver,  says  he  died  near  Morgantown,  Ya.,  in  his  93d  year.  They  had

230  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

In  the  division  of  the  estate  of  Thomas  Dell,  Jr.,  the  lands  in  Ridley 
(now  Nether  Providence)  consisting  of  157  acres  in  two  contiguous  tracts, 
were  awarded  to  Sarah  Weaver,  and  the  land  in  Fallowheld  township,  265 
acres,  to  Mary  Pennell,  who  paid  /20,  to  Sarah,  to  make  them  equal. 
The  real  estate  of  their  grandfather,  Thomas  Dell,  Sr.,  which  he  devised  to 
them  after  twenty-five  years  of  use  by  Thomas  and  Samuel  Swayne,  also 
became  the  property  of  Isaac  and  Sarah  Weaver  by  purchase  from  William 
and  Mary  Pennell.  The  claim  of  the  Swaynes  was  probably  the  cause  of 
the  dispute  which  has  been  noticed  (see  page  190)  and  it  is  likely  that 
Thomas  Swayne  resided  thereon  until  the  death  of  his  wife.  Isaac  Weaver 
was  assessed  in  Nether  Providence,  1764,  with  190  acres  and  buildings,  70 
acres  of  uncultivated  land,  9  horses,  6  cattle  and  5  sheep.  He  and  wife, 
by  deed  of  Oct.  1,  1766,  conveyed  to  William  Starr  of  same  township,  48 
acres,  for  ^500. 

Isaac  Weaver  produced  an  acknowledgment  3  mo.  29,  1749,  for 
himself  and  wife,  Mary,  on  account  of  their  marriage  by  a  priest,  which  was 
accepted,  and  ordered  to  be  read  at  a  First-day  meeting  at  Chester.  The 
maiden  name  of  his  wife  has  not  been  discovered  but  her  death  must  have 
occurred  very  soon  after  this  date,  as  he  married  again  sixteen  months 
later.  For  want  of  promptness  in  the  payment  of  his  debts,  and  the 
neglect  to  attend  meetings  he  was  disowned  2  mo.  24,  1772.  In  1788,  the 
parents  and  most  of  the  children  removed  to  Monongalia  Co.,  Va.,  and 
settled  near  Morgantown ;  and  a  certificate  of  membership  was  granted 
5  mo.  26th,  for  Sarah  and  her  minor  children,  William,  Abraham  and 
Sarah,  directed  to  Westland  Mo.  Mtg.  Their  son  James  received  one  to 
the  same  place,  dated  6  mo.  30,  1788.  It  is  represented  that  James  and 
Abraham  succeeded  their  parents  at  the  homestead  in  Virginia,  and  their 
sister  Sarah,  a  widow,  kept  house  for  them. 

Anthony  Weaver  "of  ffinstocke  in  the  parrishe  of  Charlbury  in 
the  County  of  Oxford,  blacksmith,"  by  lease  and  release,  Feb.  20,  and  21, 
1 68 1,  from  William  Cecil,  became  possessed  of  125  acres  of  land  in  Penna., 
which  was  afterward  laid  out  in  the  southern  part  of  Aston  township.  He 
married  in  1686,  Ann  Richards,  dau.  of  Joseph  and  Jane  Richards,  of 
Aston,  and  died  soon  after,  leaving  no  children.  His  brother  William 
Weaver,  a  brass-founder,  came  from  Boston,  N.  E.,  to  inherit  the  land, 
and  in  obedience  to  the  Mosaic  law,  as  regards  raising  up  children  unto  his 
brother,  was  the  father  of  twins,  born  in  1689.  The  names  of  the  children 
are  unknown.  One  William  Weaver  took  up  250  acres  in  Cain  township, 
1720,  and  died  about   1727,  leaving  a  widow,    Mary,  and  minor  children.

Nathan,  William.  Hannah  and  Jonathan,  for  whom  Richard  Weaver,  of 
Chester,  and  Thomas  Moore  were  appointed  guardians.  The  father  is 
referred  to  a  few  years  later  as  "Old  Will  Weaver,"  but  whether  on 
account  of  his  real  age  or  to  distinguish  him  from  his  son  is  uncertain. 

Richard  Weaver  married  Elizabeth  Baldwin,  b.  Dec.  16,  1694,  dau.  of 
Thomas  Baldwin,  b.  in  Oxfordshire,  Eng.,  Dec.  1657,  and  Mary  his  wite, 
b.  in  Sussex,  Aug.  24,  1653.  Beside  Isaac  they  had  children  Mary,  m. 
William  Hay,  1737,  Judith,  Susanna  and  Valentine.  The  parents  and 
children  were  received  into  membership  by  Friends,  1  mo.  25,  1733,  but 
about  1756,  after  Richard's  death,  all  except  Isaac  joined  the  Episcopal 
Church.

The  residence  of  William  and  Mar)'  Pennell  was  in  Middletown  on  the 
brow  of  the  hill  a  little  east  of  north  from  the  present  Glen  Riddle ;  now 
the  property  of  William  Webster.  Mary  received  265  acres  in  Fallowfield 
township,  as  her  share  of  her  father's  estate,  and  also  inherited  from  her 
grandfather  one-half  of  a  tract  of  108  acres  in  the  southern  part  of  Nether 
Providence.  She  and  her  husband  conveyed  their  interest  in  the  last  to 
Isaac  Weaver,  May  17,  1770,  for  ^200.  William  Pennell  purchased,  Dec. 
31'  1 773,  from  Peter  Grubb  the  iron-master,  of  Lancaster  Co.,  250  acres  in 
Middletown,  extending  eastward  from  Chester  Creek,  at  the  present  Wawa 
Station.  In  1764,  he  was  assessed  with  300  acres  and  buildings,  200  acres 
of  uncultivated  land,  a  grist  mill,  a  saw  mill,  8  horses,  10  cattle  and  10

mo.  5,  1S10;  son  of  Joseph  and  Mary  (Caldwell)  Gilpin,  of  Concord. 
This  marriage  was  "by  a  priest,"  and  perhaps  at  the  Old  Swedes'  Church, 
at  Wilmington.  He  made  an  acknowledgment  to  Concord  Mtg.,  2  mo.  4, 
1 760,  and  received  a  certificate  to  Wilmington,  1  mo.  8,  1761.  Abigail 
offered  an  acknowledgment  to  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  10  mo.  29,  1759,  but  the 
matter  was  not  then  acted  upon.  On  1 1  mo.  29,  1762,  an  additional  charge 
was  brought  against  her  for  having  been  one  of  the  persons  who  caused 
Richard  Gorman  to  be  sued  at  law,  and  she  was  disowned  5  mo.  30,  1763. 
The  "  testimony  "  against  her  was  as  follows  : 

Whereas,  Abigail  Woodward,  now  the  wife  of  Vincent  Gilpin,  was  Educated  among  us, 

the  people  Called  Quakers,  but  for  want  of  a  faithfull  adherence  to  the  Divine  principle  in  her 

own  heart,  gave  way  to  a  Libertine  Spirit  so  far  as  to  be  married  by  a  priest  ;  and  also  hath 

Refused  to  give  a  satisfactory  account  of  the  sueing  a  member  of  our  Society  :  Therefore  we 

do  hereby  Disown  the  said  Abigal  Gilpin  to  be  of  our  Society,  until  she  Comes  to  a  true  Sence 

of  her  misconduct  and  Condemn  the  same  to  the  satisfaction  of  this  meeting,  which  that  she 

may  is  our  Desire.     Signed  in  and  on  behalf  of  Chester  Monthly  Meeting,  held  at  Providence 

30th  Day  of  the  5th  month  1763.

Sarah  Minshall,  Clark. 

Her  husband  appealed  to  the  Quarterly  Meeting  on  her  behalf,  but 
the  judgment  of  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  was  confirmed.  A  recommendation 
was  signed  by  David  Ferriss  and  thirty- eight  other  Friends  in  Wilmington, 
twenty  of  them  being  women,  in  which  they  say :  "  We  find  her  to  merit 
the  Character  of  a  sober,  Honest  Woman  and  a  Good  neighbour;  and  that 
she  attends  our  Religious  meetings  as  well  as  a  person  in  her  Circum- 
stances may  reasonably  be  expected  to  do."  This  was  dated  7  mo.  16, 
1  764,  and  on  7  mo.  30,  1 764,  an  acknowledgment  from  her  was  accepted 
by  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  which  granted  her  a  certificate  to  Wilmington,  5  mo. 

27.  1765- 

Soon  after  marriage  they  settled  on  the  Brandywine,  above  Wil- 
mington, now  a  part  of  the  Dupont  estate,  and  built  or  enlarged  a  flour 
mill,  where  he  remained  many  years,  sending  flour  to  Wilmington,  and 
shipping  considerable  quantities  to  the  West  Indies.  He  was  at  different 
times  part  owner  of  several  of  the  vessels  trading  from  Wilmington.  The 
brig  Nancy,  which  was  the  first  vessel  to  hoist  the  American  Flag  in  the 
West  Indies,  and  possibly  in  any  foreign  port,  was  partly  owned  by  Vincent 
Gilpin,  and  named  for  his  daughter  Ann.  For  an  account  of  this  and  her 
being  chased  ashore  'by  English  cruisers  and  blown  up,  see  Reminiscences 
of  Wilmington,  by  Elizabeth  Montgomery.     A  rather  amusing  story  is  told

at  his  expense.  The  vessels  in  which  he  was  interested,  taking  out  flour, 
&c,  brought  back,  among  other  products  of  the  West  Indies,  considerable 
quantities  of  molasses  and  rum.  The  old  gentleman  had  a  large  invoice 
of  the  latter  stored  in  Wilmington  during  the  war,  at  the  time  the  British 
forces  marched  from  the  Chesapeake  toward  Philadelphia.  Fully  expecting 
them  to  come  by  way  of  Wilmington,  he  sent  his  rum  for  safe  keeping  to 
Chester  County,  and  stored  it  at  the  old  family  place,  then  perhaps  in 
possession  of  his  brother  Israel  Gilpin,  in  the  very  house  which  was  the 
head-quarters  of  the  British  commander,  Gen.  Howe,  after  the  Battle  of 
Brandywine.  These  facts  and  a  large  part  of  the  records  of  the  descendants 
of  Abigail  Gilpin  have  been  furnished  by  George  Gilpin,  of  Philadelphia, 
who  has  published  a  chart  of  the  descendants  from  Vincent  and  Abigail 
Gilpin.     Their  children  were —

1 69 1,  at  Baghurst  in  the  county  of  Southampton,  to  Hannah  Glover  of  the 

latter  county,   daughter  of  and    Alice    (Lamboll)    Glover.      The

and  the  son,  determined  to  seek  a  home  of  greater  freedom,  with  his  wife, 
and  two  children  embarked  for  Pennsylvania.  They  landed  at  New  Castle 
and  settled  in  Birmingham,  Chester  (now  Delaware)  County  near  Dilworth- 
town,  where  for  some  years  they  lived  in  a  cave  on  land  which  was  given  to

with  his  mother,  Sarah  Gilpin,  within  the  limits  of  Concord  Mo.  Mtg.,  in  1760, 
and  was  disowned  by  that  Meeting  1 1  mo.  3,  1779,  for  removing  without  a

The  discipline  of  the  Society  of  Friends  required  those  contemplating 
marriage  to  have  the  consent  of  parents,  verbal  or  written,  at  the  time  of 
"passing  meeting,"  as  the  declaration  of  their  intentions  is  usually  termed.

Chester,  12  mo.  26,  1774;  about  which  time  they  probably  settled  on  her 
share  of  her  father's  land  in  U.  Providence.  Both  were  buried  at  Sandy 
Bank  graveyard,  near  Media,  and  a  stone  marked  "  W.  R.,  aged  76,  1813,"

b.  in  Willistown,  9  mo.  18,  1750;  buried  at  Middletown  10  mo.  3,  1798. 
They  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  .5  mo.  27,  1771,  to 
Kennet,  and  thence  to  New  Garden,  8  mo.  12,  1790.  After  this  they 
removed  to  Bedford  County,  about  150  miles  westward,  which  must  have 
been  but  a  short  time  before  his  death,  of  which  the  date  has  not  been 
obtained.  At  the  instance  of  Hockessin  Meeting,  Mary  was  recommended 
as  a  minister,  8  mo.  14,  1788,  and  in  the  winter  of  1792-3,  she  joined  with 
some  others  in  a  religious  visit  to  the  families  of  Willistown  Mtg. ;  and 
again  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1 794,  she  performed  similar  service 
within  the  limits  of  Kennet  Mo.  Mto-.  She  received  a  certificate  from  New 
Garden  to  Chester,  5  mo.  6,  1797,  for  herself  and  some  of  her  children. 
It  is  probable  that  her  husband  died  in  1795  or  1796,  but  as  no  motion  was 
made  to  remove  their  right  of  membership  from  New  Garden  during  his 
life  their  stay  in  Bedford  County  must  have  been  brief.  In  the  fall  of  1798 
the  yellow  fever  prevailed  in  Philadelphia,  yet  Mary  Sharpies  and  sixty  or 
seventy  other  country  Friends  attended,  several  of  whom  perished  by  this

terrible  disease.     The  meeting  commenced  on  the  2 2d  of  9th  month,  and 
on  the  5th  of  10th  month  Joshua  Sharpies  (No.  131)  wrote  thus: 

I  this  day  heard  of  the  affecting  account  of  the  decease  of  three  Friends  more  who 
attended  the  Yearly  Meeting,  viz.,  dear  James  Emlen,  [Robert  Kirkbride]  and  cousin  Mary 
Sharpies.  She  was  a  sweet  minister  ;  had  some  close  trials  to  pass  through  in  her  lifetime. 
She  buried  her  husband  among  strangers  in  Bedford  county,  where  they  had  removed  not  long 
before.  She  was  left  with  a  number  of  small  children,  in  low  circumstances,  yet  was  graciously 
cared  for,  and  way  was  made  beyond  her  expectation,  both  for  the  disposal  of  herself  and  her 
children.  She  appeared  in  a  lively  manner  in  the  Select  Yearly  Meeting,  and  towards  the 
close  of  her  communication  let  the  meeting  know  that  a  full  apprehension  of  duty,  and 
knowing  her  peace  was  concerned  in  her  obedience  thereto,  had  enabled  her  to  press  through 
difficulties  in  getting  there  ;  that  she  had  left  some  of  her  children  with  tears  in  their  eyes, 
begging  her  not  to  go.  She  lived  to  return  home  and  was  taken  sick  the  Fifth-day  following 
as  she  sat  in  meeting,  and  in  seven  days  was  carried  off;  and  is,  without  any  doubt,  at  rest  in 
the  mansions  of  bliss. —  The  Friend,  xxi.  77. 

In  1 799  a  memorial  of  Mary  Sharpies  was  forwarded  to  the  Yearly

Dicks  of  Chester  township.  He  was  buried  at  Middletown  12  mo.  27, 
1822,  and  she  10  mo.  26,  1S35.  Their  bible,  printed  1770,  is  now  in  pos- 
session of  Elizabeth  (Pratt)  Darlington  ;  also  a  book  entitled  "  Eden,  or  A

priest,"  they  were  disowned  by  Chester  Mo.  Mtg.,  11  mo.  25,  1 77 1 . 

Daniel  became  the  owner  of  the  real  estate  of  his  father,  about  141 
acres,  but  for  some  reason  the  other  heirs  did  not  convey  their  interests 
directly  to  him.  On  March  17,  1783,  Daniel  Sharpless,  Abraham  Pennell 
and  wife,  Hannah,  Caleb  Sharpless,  William  Sharpless,  Morris  Truman 
and  wife,  Mary,  Amos  Sharpless  and  Nathan  Sharpless,  all  of  Chester 
County,  released  to  their  brother  Jacob  their  claim  to  their  father's  land  in 
Middletown,  for  ^472  :  4  :  6,  now,  and  ^236  :  2  :  2,  at  the  death  of  their 
mother.  The  deed  was  made  in  the  names  of  all  the  children,  but  Joseph, 
Benjamin  and  Jonathan  did  not  sign  at  that  time.  The  next  day  Jacob 
Sharpless  of  New  Garden,  yeoman,  eldest  son  of  Joseph  Sharpless, 
deceased,  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  conveyed  to  Daniel  Sharpless  of  Middletown, 
yeoman,  nine-twelfths  of  the  said  real  estate  for  ^637  :  9  :  10.  Jacob  being 
the  eldest  son  had  inherited  a  double  share,  or  two-twelfths.  Joseph  and 
Benjamin  released  to  Daniel,  by  endorsement  on  the  first  deed,  Apr.  28, 
1787,  and  Jonathan  did  likewise,  Dec.  31,  17S8.  The  children  of  Daniel

took  one  to  Philadelphia,  8  mo.  31,  1786.  With  three  children,  Joseph,

and  Morris.  In  1777,  Morris  Truman  and  Joseph  Cruikshank  purchased 
six  acres  of  land  on  Darby  Creek,  below  Kellyville,  and  the  next  year 
erected  a  paper  mill  thereon,  of  which  Truman  became  sole  owner  in  1785. 
In  1799  the  property  was  sold  to  John  Matthews,  and  Morris  Truman 
purchased  from  Samuel  Trimble  136  acres  on  Chester  Creek,  in  Middle- 
town,  for  ^1300.  In  1807  the  family  removed  westward,  taking  a  certificate 
dated  4  mo.  27,  1807.  to  Redstone  Mo.  Mtg.  In  the  history  of  Fayette 
County  it  is  stated  that  Morris  Truman,  with  his  three  sons,  settled  at 
Bridgeport  (opposite  Brownsville),  where  they  erected  and  put  into 
operation  works  for  the  manufacture  of  steel,  about  181 1.  They  afterward 
built  a  machine  and  engine  shop  for  the  first  steamboats  on  the  Mononga- 
hela  River.  All  the  family  died  at  Bridgeport  except  the  mother,  who  died 
at  their  country  residence.  Jonathan  Binns,  writing  to  Abraham  Pennell, 
12  mo.  10,  1830,  says,  "thy  brother-in-law,  Morris  Truman,  died  three  or 
four  weeks  ago."  In  1838,  "James  Truman  says  his  mother  is  rather  better 
this  summer."     One  child  died  in  infancy  and  the  others  were —

246  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

By  deed  of  Nov.  16,  17S5,  Nathan  Sharpies  and  wife,  and  her  sister 
Esther  (afterward  wife  of  David  Garrett),  became  the  owners  of  a 
messuage,  water  corn  mill,  or  grist  mill,  and  saw  mill,  with  60  acres  of 
land  in  Middletown,  which  had  belonged  to  William  Pennell,  his  father- 
in-law.  This  was  at  what  is  now  Glen  Riddle.  In  1 790  a  stone  house  was 
built,  which  bears  the  date  and  initials  S.  and  G.  for  Sharpies  and  Garrett, 
and  both  families  are  supposed  to  have  resided  therein  till  1794,  when 
another  house  was  built  bearing  the  initials  of  Nathan  and  Rachel  Sharpies. 
By  deed  of  Nov.  7,  1798,  these  became  sole  owners  of  the  mills  and  15 
acres  of  the  land,  on  payment  of  ,£1370,  to  Garretts.  Nathan  also 
purchased  from  Dell  Pennell  and  wife,  3  mo.  13,  1786,  2>lY\  acres  more 
of  William  Pennell's  estate,  and  by  deed  of  Mar.  24,  1798,  obtained  from 
Jonathan  Pennell,  of  Chester,  ng*4  acres  in  Middletown,  for  which  he 
paid  $2000.  This  last  purchase  was  disposed  of  Aug.  21,  1800,  to  William 
Doyle,  for  $2151.  In  1815,  Nathan  erected  a  woolen  factory  and  fulling 
mill,  but  in  Feb.  181 7  he  assigned  the  property  to  Abraham  Sharpies, 
Francis  Wisely  and  John  Peirce.  After  this  he  operated  the  mill  on  the 
Westtown  Boarding  School  property.  He  was  buried  at  Middletown  4 
mo.  2i,  1S29.     He  had  seven  children,

take  the  following : 

The  first  paper  mill  west  of  the  Alleghenies  was  built  upon  Redstone  Creek,  in  Jefferson 
township,  and  as  that  incident  was  a  matter  of  no  ordinary  importance  in  the  history  of 
Western  Pennsylvania  there  is  good  warrant  for  making  a  detailed  reference  to  it  here.  In 
1791,  Jonathan  Sharpless,  a  blacksmith  and  general  mechanic,  living  in  Chester  County,  Pa., 
made  a  western  trip  to  visit  his  brother-in-law,  Solomon  C.  Phillips,  then  living  in  Washington 
County.  While  there  Sharpless,  who  was  a  staunch  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  made 
the  acquaintance  of  Samuel  Jackson,  also  a  Friend,  who  owned  and  carried  on  a  grist  mill  just 
across  the  Monongahela,  at  the  mouth  of  Redstone  Creek,  in  what  is  now  Jefferson  Twp. 
Sharpless  made  frequent  journeys  over  to  Jackson's  mill  and  in  some  manner  they  came  to 
discuss  the  subject  of  the  want  of  a  paper  mill  west  of  the  mountains,  and  from  that  to 
speculate  upon  the  feasibility  of  themselves  supplying  the  want.  The  result  of  their  discussions 
was  an  agreement  to  build  such  a  mill  upon  the  Redstone  Creek,  on  some  land  owned  by 
Jackson.  As  a  precedent  thereto,  Sharpless  returned  home  to  provide  the  sum  of  fifteen  hun- 
dred dollars,  his  half  of  the  capital  necessary  to  start  the  proposed  enterprise  ;  also  to  further 
investigate  the  business  of  paper  making  as  conducted  on  the  Brandywine,  that  the  new  firm 
might  have  some  practical  knowledge  of  the  business  before  embarking  in  it,  for  neither  knew 
anything  of  the  details  of  paper  manufacture.  Sharpless  found  the  work  of  raising  fifteen 
hundred  dollars  upon  the  fruits  of  his  smith  labor  a  slow  process,  but  within  two  years  he  had 
laid  by  the  amount,  and  in  1793  he  set  out  with  his  family  for  the  West,  prepared  to  set  the 
paper  mill  in  motion.  In  1794  the  erection  of  the  structure  was  begun,  upon  the  Redstone 
Creek,  in  what  is  now  Jefferson  township,  and  on  what  is  the  present  site  of  the  Parkhill  grist 
mill,  near  the  mouth  of  Washwater  ran. 

Sharpless  was  noted  during  his  residence  in  Chester  County  as  a  skillful  inventor,  and 
among  other  things  he  invented  a  powerful  pressing-screw  for  use  in  the  U.  S.  Mint,  in 
Philadelphia.  The  story  goes  that  when  the  Mint  was  in  its  infancy  a  visitor  remarked  upon 
the  poor  work  made  by  the  coin-pressing  machines,  saying  he  knew  of  a  young  blacksmith 
who  could  make  a  screw  infinitely  better  than  the  ones  there  in  use.  He  named  Jonathan 
Sharpless  as  the  man,  and  Sharpless  was  thereupon  engaged  to  make  a  screw.  It  proved  so 
satisfactory  that  he  was  at  once  requested  to  furnish  more.  His  contract  completed  he  was 
asked  to  make  out  his  bill,  and  named  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  as  his  price,  although, 
truth  to  tell,  he  feared  the  bill  would  be  rejected  as  too  high,  for  his  work  upon  the  whole  job 
had  not  covered  more  than  a  month's  time.  After  paying  it  the  Mint  superintendent  gleefully 
remarked,  "Mr.  Sharpless,  those  screws  are  of  such  value  to  us,  that  had  you  asked  three  times 
two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  you  would  have  got  your  price." 

As  to  Mr.  Sharpless'  shop  in  Redstone,  it  may  be  related  in  passing,  that  there  he  made 
for  Capt.  Shreve,  what  are  said  to  have  been  the  first  anchors  used  on  the  Monongahela  river. 

He  located  in  Franklin  township  not  long  after  the  year  1800,  and  in  1810  was  driving 
a  grist  mill,  saw  mill,  sickle-factory  and  fulling  mill,  which  amount  of  business  was,  for  those 
days,  very  extensive.  There  he  lived  until  his  death,  about  i860,  at  the  age  of  more  than 
ninety  years.

Some  account  of  the  last  Illness  and  expressions  of  our  much  beloved 
Friend,  Benjamin  Sharpies,  jr. 

He  left  home  the  10th  day  of  the  Sixth  month,  17S0,  in  company  with  several  Friends, 
of  a  Committee  of  our  Quarterly  meeting,  to  pay  a  visit  to  the  free  Negroes  at  Deer-creek  ; 
and  from  thence  had  thoughts  of  attending  the  Quarterly  meeting  at  Fairfax  :  but  after  about 
■  <.-n  miles  ride,  found  himself  so  poorly,  as  to  be  discouraged  from  proceeding  ;  and  on  his 
return  home  that  evening,  his  disorder,  which  proved  to  be  a  bilious  cholic,  was  violent ;  which 
he  was  favoured  to  bear  with  much  Christian  patience,  not  appearing  over  anxious,  but  in  a 
good  degree  resigned,  either  to  live  or  die :  yet  willing  that  all  might  be  done  for  him  that 
could  be,  if  thereby  he  might  be  relieved,  according  to  the  will  of  Providence,  or  restored  to 
health  ;  often  expressing  a  care  for  his  wife  and  children,  who  appeared  to  be  doubly  near  to 
him  in  his  afflicting  moments.  He  did  not  at  first  appear  apprehensive  that  his  sickness  was 
unto  death,  but  rather  intended  for  his  purification,  and  the  honor  of  his  deliverer ;  or,  as  he 
expressed  it  in  the  words  of  the  text,  "  not  unto  death,  but  for  the  glory  of  God."  He  would 
often  say,  there  is  a  great  to-do  about  this  poor  body  of  mine  ;  appearing  very  sensible  of  the 
tenderness  of  those  about  him  ;  saying  to  his  wife,  if  his  days  should  be  lengthened,  he  should 
never  lose  the  remembrance  of  her  tenderness  in  his  afflictions  ;  often  desiring  her  not  to  care 
more  for  him  than  was  needful  ;  adding,  "  Providence  is  able  to  raise  me  up,  if  it  be  his  will  ; 
appearing  to  put  his  whole  trust  and  confidence  in  the  Father  of  Spirits.  At  the  arrival  of  his 
wife's  father,  he  seemed  much  cheered,  and  sat  up  all  the  evening  and  conversed  freely  ; 
appearing,  through  the  greatest  part  of  his  illness,  desirous  of  comforting  his  wife  with  a  hope 
of  his  recovery  :  yet  on  the  fourth  day  thereof,  he  informed  a  friend,  who  came  to  see  him, 
what  his  mind  was  with  respect  to  his  wife  and  children,  if  it  should  please  Providence  to  take

him  away  at  this  time,  and  how  lie  would  have  his  effects  disposed  of  amongst  them.  The 
Friend  replied,  he  had  no  thoughts  but  that  he  would  recover;  he  answered,  he  had  no  desire 
to  live,  but  for  their  sakes.  to  wit :  his  wife  and  children  ;  but  added,  if  he  should  have  longer 
time,  he  hoped  it  might  be  spent  to  the  honour  of  the  Great  Master.  At  the  arrival  of  his 
wife's  mother,  he  appeared  comforted  ;  and  she  ministered  unto  him.  according  to  ability,  but 
with  no  other  success,  than  to  mitigate  the  pain  for  a  time.  On  the  sixth  day  of  his  illness, 
being  a^ked  if  he  was  willing  to  have  the  advice  of  a  Physician,  he  expressed  a  willingness  thereto, 
though  his  trust  appeared  to  be  in  the  Great  Physician  of  value  ;  on  the  same  day,  as  a  Friend 
was  sitting  by  him,  he  said:  What  signifies  credit  and  reputation  among  men  ;  its  real  value 
is  small ;  often  drawing  us  into  the  world,  and  the  encumbering  things  thereof ;  and  proving 
the  cause  of  our  losing  many  sweet  moments,  the  Lord  would  favour  us  with,  for  Oh  !  'tis  the 
quiet,  humble  life,  the  Christian  ought  to  live  ;  for  no  man  knoweth  the  hour  wherein  the  Son 
of  Man  cometh  :  with  many  more  weighty  expressions,  which  were  not  retained :  The  Friend 
answering  there  is  nothing  in  this  world,  that  need  engage  us  to  stay  here :  He  answered,  no, 
nothing  but  our  connexions.  On  the  7th  in  the  morning,  as  a  friend  was  taking  leave  of  him, 
he  said,  'Tis  a  brave  thing  to  be  prepared  against  the  day  of  death.  His  eldest  daughter 
being  in  the  room  on  some  occasion  ;  and  he  observing  her  looking  on  him,  said  ;  Well  my 
daughter,  what  dost  thou  think  of  me.  She  answering,  I  think  thou  lookest  very  poorly :  He 
replied,  ah  !  and  I  am  very  poorly,  and  have  no  expectations,  but  from  the'  mercy  of  the  Father 
of  all  mercies,  who  is  able  to  raise  from  the  dead.  And  though  he  has  been  pleased  to  take 
from  you  a  dear  and  tender  parent,  which  was  a  great  loss  to  you  and  me,  yet  he  hath  never 
been  wanting  in  his  love,  but  hath  made  up  her  loss  to  us ;  and  if  he  is  pleased  to  take  me 
from  you  now,  he  is  able  to  provide  for  you,  all  that  is  necessary,  and  I  believe  he  will,  as  you 
tmst  in  him,  love  and  fear  him  ;  which  I  hope  you  may,  for  I  have  no  greater  joy  than  to  see 
my  children  love  the  Truth.  On  the  8th,  in  the  evening,  about  the  9th  or  10th  hour,  his 
disorder  growing  more  violent,  and  he,  having  a  clearer  prospect  of  his  approaching  end,  in 
an  affecting  frame  of  mind,  said  to  his  wife  ;  my  dear,  I  believe  I  am  going  to  leave  thee : 
and  desired  to  see  his  children  :  then,  in  a  solemn  manner,  begged  that  the  Lord  might  forgive 
all  his  offences,  and  every  misstep  of  his  life,  with  every  omission  of  duty.  Desiring  all  present 
to  pray  for  him,  in  that  awful  period  of  time,  being  very  near  the  transition  into  a  never 
ending  eternity.  He,  in  a  very  affectionate  and  fatherly  manner,  took  leave  of  his  children, 
administering  salutary  and  suitable  advice,  according  to  their  age  and  capacities  ;  saying  to  his 
eldest  daughter.  My  dear,  I  have  loved  thee  for  thy  obedience  to  me,  and  tenderness  towards 
me  ;  and  for  thy  sobriety  in  life,  which  I  hope  thou  wilt  continue  in,  and  be  obedient  to  thy 
dear  mother,  and  love  her,  that  she  may  love  thee,  and  be  kind  to  thee  :  and  do  thou  be  kind 
to  thy  dear  brothers  and  sister,  and  love  them,  and  take  care  of  them.  To  his  eldest  son  : 
Thou  seest  what  a  low  condition  I  am  in  :  and  if  the  Lord  should  take  me  away,  love  thy  dear 
mother,  and  be  kind  to  her.  Be  temperate  in  eating  and  drinking,  and  moderate  in  all  thing-. 
Get  a  good  trade,  but  do  not  grasp  after  much,  but  be  content  with  a  little.  I  have  not  much 
to  leave  thee,  but  be  industrious,  and  thou  wilt  have  enough  if  it  is  got  honestly.  Be  not 
proud  nor  high  minded,  but  live  in  humility  and  self  denial,  bearing  the  cross.  Then  he  took 
leave  of  his  wife  in  much  affection,  and  lay  still  for  a  considerable  time  ;  after  which,  he  broke 
forth  in  prayer,  in  language  bespeaking  one  whom  the  Lord  would  receive  in  mere)',  int<  1 
joys  of  his  kingdom.  To  a  friend  present,  he  very  friendly  said,  improve  thy  time,  let  not  one 
day  be  lost :  setting  forth  the  awfulness  of  that  period  wherein  we  must  appear  before  the  great 
Judge  to  give  an  account  of  the  deeds  done  in  the  body.  About  two  hours  before  his 
departure,  he  said  :    my  pains  are  very  great,  but  it  may  be  best  that  I  should  bear  pain  bel 


LIXE  OF  BENJAMIN 3,  JOSEPH'.  251 

I  die :   then,  after  laying  still  for  some  time,  looking  on  two  Friends  present,  he  said  :     In  a 

little  time  I  shall  be  with  your  Father  and  my  Father!  speaking  very  little  after,  but  appeared 

sensible  to  the  last.

A   Testimony  from  Nottingham  Monthly-meeting,  approved  there  the 
2gth  day  of  the  jtli  month  ijSo.  concerning  cur  friend  Benjamin  Sharpies, 
jr.  deceased. 

He  wa>  son  of  Benjamin  Sharpies  of  Middletown,  in  Chester  county,  Pennsylvania  ;  and 
received  a  gift  in  the  ministry,  in  which  he  frequently  appeared  in  a  brief,  acceptable  manner 
to  Friends ;  being  exemplary  in  meekness  of  conduct,  diligent  and  wakeful  in  the  attendance 
of  religious  meetings,  piously  careful  in  training  up  his  children,  affectionately  kind  as  a  hus- 
band, father,  and  friend,  and  well  beloved  amongst  his  neighbours.  The  latter  years  of  his 
life  being  spent  with  us,  we  thought  it  just,  briefly  to  express  our  sense  thereof.  In  his  last 
illness,  his  disorder  and  pain  was  sharp,  though  his  judgment  and  senses  appeared  clear,  nearly 
to  his  last,  bearing  his  afflictions  with  calmness,  and  humble  resignation  ;  saying  to  a  friend,  the 
day  before  he  died  :  perhaps  I  may  not  be  long  here,  but  I  am  resigned  ;  I  humbly  hope,  I  am 
fully  resigned  :  To  another,  the  same  evening,  he  said  :  Although  I  cannot  charge  myself  with 
wilful  neglect  of  duty,  yet  I  see  I  might  have  been  more  attentive  and  diligent,  but  have  a 
lively  hope,  my  omissions  will  be  forgiven,  and  my  transgressions  blotted  out.  Many  other 
expressions  he  dropt  in  a  pious,  weighty  frame  of  mind  ;  and  was  sometimes  heard  in  fervent 
prayer  :  He  spake  of  the  need  of  improving  time,  and  the  awfulness  of  that  period,  wherein 
we  must  appear  before  the  great  Judge,  to  give  an  account  of  the  deeds  done  in  the  body.  And 
apprehending  his  end  near,  he  took  his  solemn  leave  of  his  wife  and  children  ;  expressing  strong 
■desires  for  his  children's  preservation  in  the  way  of  truth  :  speaking  to  them,  especially  the  two 
eldest,  in  an  affecting  manner,  and  in  language  expressive  of  a  religious  father's  anxious  care 
for  the  well-doing  of  his  offspring,  in  great  clearness  and  integrity  of  mind,  though  under 
much  bodily  pain.  He  quietly  departed  this  life,  the  iSth  of  the  6th  month,  1780,  in  the  40th 
year  of  his  age;  and  on  the  21st,  was  decently  interred  in  Friends'  Burying-ground  at  East 
Nottingham.

In  an  old  manuscript  memoir  of  Benjamin  Ferris?,  of  Oblong,  N.  Y., 
as  quoted  by  Benjamin  Ferris5,  of  Wilmington,  the  following  occurs : 
"  My  Grandfather,  Samuel  Ferris',  came  from  Reading,  forty  miles 
northwest  from  London,  and  settled  Eastward  from  Boston,  at  Groton  ; 
then  moved  to  Charlestown,  where  my  father,  Zechariah  Ferris2  was  born. 
He  married  Sarah  Reed,  whose  father  came  from  Dorsetshire  in  the 
southward  parts  of  England,  and  from  the  town  of  Awley.  He  settled 
in  old  Fairfield,  Conn.,  where  my  mother  was  born,  and  where  I  was  born 
likewise."  Zechariah  afterward  removed  to  New  Milford,  his  being  one  of 
the  first  twelve  families  settled  there.  His  children  were  Joseph,  Deborah, 
David,  Sarah,  Benjamin,  Hannah,  John  and  Zechariah.  The  parents  were 
of  the  Presbyterian  faith  but  several  of  the  children  became  Friends. 

David  Ferris,  b.  at  Stratford,  Conn.,  3  mo.  10,  1707,  removed  to 
Philadelphia,  1733,  became  a  Friend,  and  in  1735  married  Mary  Massey. 
In  1737  he  settled  in  Wilmington,  Del.,  where  he  d.  12  mo.  5,  1779,  having 
been  a  minister  about  twenty-four  years.  His  brother  Zechariah  came  to 
Wilmington  and  was  received  into  membership  by  Friends,  12  mo.  2,  1739: 
was  recommended  as  a  minister  2  mo.  3,  1742,  and  d.  1  mo.  6,  1803,  aged 
85  y,  1  m,  24  d. 

John  Ferris^  of  New  Milford,  b.  1710,  was  married  3  mo.  15,  1738,  to 
Abigail  Tryon  of  New  Fairfield,  and  they  had  seven  children,  as  follows: 
Deborah,  b.  12  mo.  7,  1738;  Abigail,  twin  with  Deborah;  Nathan,  b.  6 
mo.  7,  1740;  Rosamond,  b.  10  mo.  7,  1 741  ;  Ziba,  b.  6  mo.  13,  1743; 
Matthew,  b.  1  mo.  14,  1745;  Elizabeth,  b.  12  mo.  7,  1746.  With  these 
children  they  removed  to  Wilmington,  in  1748,  bringing  certificates  "from 
our  Monthly  Meeting  held  at  the  Oblong  in  ye  County  of  Dutches  & 
Province  of  New  York,  ye  21st  of  ye  2nd  mo:  1748."  Of  John  it  is  said  he 
"hath  ye  Love  of  his  neighbours  here  amongst  us.  He  hath  also  a  Gift  in 
ye  Ministrey  which  has  been  to  our  Comfort."  He  died  of  small-pox  in 
1750.  Zebulon  Ferris,  perhaps  a  nephew,  produced  a  certificate  from 
Nine  Partners,  N.  Y.,  dated  3  mo.  17,  1750. 

Savage  says  (Genealogical  Dictionary)  that  Zechariah  (Samuel?) 
Ferris  of  Charlestown,  1675,  had  children,  Zechariah,  baptized  6  Feb. 
1676,  Sarah,  12  Nov.  1676,  Hannah,  18  July,  1680.  The  name  was 
written  "  Ferriss  "  by  the  second,  third  and  fourth  generations.

Edith  Ferris  was  the  daughter  of  Benjamin  and  Edith  Sharpies,  of  Middletown,  Chester 
county,  Pennsylvania.  She  was  born  the  ioth  of  ist  Month  1743  [X.  S.].  From  nature  she

humbling  power  of  the  pure  principle  of  Truth,  revealed  in  her  heart,  she  was  mercifully 
preserved  from  the  snares  attendant  on  those  pleasing  qualities.  She  was  unaffectedly  modest, 
social  in  her  disposition,  and  possessed  an  unusual  flow  of  animal  spirits,  gTeat  fortitude,  and  a 
clear,  sound  understanding.  These  endowments  rendered  her  useful,  and  uncommonly  exertive 
in  the  various  stations  of  life,  as  daughter,  wife  and  mother,  which  she  filled  with  great 
propriety. 

By  obedience  to  the  law  written  in  the  heart,  she  became  qualified  for  usefulness  in  the 
Church  ;  and  for  near  eighteen  years,  filled  the  station  of  overseer,  to  the  satisfaction  of  her 
friends.  By  keeping  in  the  spirit  of  love  and  meekness,  she  gained  the  affection  of  those 
among  whom  her  duties  compelled  her  to  be  a  reprover ;  she  was  remarkably  clear  in  her  views 
respecting  the  discipline  established  amongst  us,  and  always  asserted,  that  it  was  only  by  keeping 
in  that  spirit  which  first  dictated  and  established  our  beautiful  system  of  church  government, 
that  we  could  be  qualified  for  usefulness  to  our  fellow  beings,  or  promote  the  glory  of  God. 
Under  these  impressions,  she  endeavoured  to  exercise  her  gifts,  in  a  faithful  and  upright  manner; 
and  with  such  unabating  love  for  the  cause  of  truth  and  righteousness,  as  to  leave  a  testimony 
of  her  integrity  in  many  hearts.  She  was  a  tender,  faithful  friend  : — and  having  passed  through 
deep,  humbling  baptisms,  she  knew  how  to  feel  for  those  who  were  afflicted ;  and  her 
sympathizing  spirit  often  led  her  to  visit  them.  She  was  qualified  to  speak  a  word  of 
consolation  to  their  minds,  and  direct  them  to  seek  counsel  of  Him  who  had  been  her 
unfailing  Helper. 

She  had  a  testimony  to  bear  against  all  superfluity,  and  was  herself  an  example  of 
plainness  in  dress,  address  and  all  things  under  her  care ;  and  very  careful  to  bring  up  her 
children  in  true  christian  simplicity. 

In  the  year  1794,  she  was  left  a  widow  ;  and  in  1802,  she  lost  her  eldest  son.  By  these 
removals,  she  was  deprived  of  the  two  main  pillars  of  her  earthly  hopes.  They  were  both 
heavy  afflictions,  which  her  heart  never  ceased  to  feel,  but  she  bore  them  with  true  christian 
patience,  and  resigned  her  dearest  treasures  in  the  language  of  Job, — "The  Lord  gave,  and  the 
Lord  hath  taken  away  ;  blessed  be  his  name." 

She  was  a  diligent  attender  of  religious  meetings  ;  and  careful  to  arrange  her  household 
concerns,  so  as  to  take  her  children  and  family  with  her ;  and  her  demeanour,  during  worship, 
exhibited  a  humble  reverential  frame  of  mind.  For  several  of  the  last  years  of  her  life,  when 
the  infirmities  of  age  had  taken  the  place  of  youthful  vigour,  she  used  to  nurse  herself  with 
more  care  than  she  would  otherwise  have  done,  to  procure  this  enjoyment ;  and  I  have  known 
her,  for  months  together,  attend  both  meetings  on  First-day,  when  she  was  so  overdone  by  the 
exertion,  as  to  be  unable  to  sit  up  the  whole  of  next  day.  Religious  worship,  and  her  bible, 
were  her  chief  sources  of  enjoyment,  during  the  latter  years  of  her  life.  On  Fifth-day,  the 
26th  of  ist  month,  she  attended  meeting,  and  that  evening  was  weaker  than  usual.  She 
continued  to  grow  more  feeble,  until  Second-day,  the  30th,  when  she  went  into  her  chamber, 
and  left  it  no  more.  From  the  first  of  her  illness,  she  considered  it  as  the  last  messenger,  and 
bore  all  the  sufferings  of  her  extremely  painful  disease  (the  Erysipelas)  with  great  patience  and

sweetness.  She  arranged  all  her  little  concerns  with  perfect  composure  ;  and  the  last  day  she 
was  with  us.  said — "  All  my  prayers  are  answered  ;  I  did  desire  an  abatement  of  my  sufferings, 
and  to  have  a  little  tranquil  enjoyment  of  you  before  I  went ;  and  now  my  pain  and  distress 
are  gone,  ami  I  have  nothing  on  my  mind  but  to  enjoy  you,  and  the  last  great  work  to  do." 
Her  understanding  was  clear  and  perfect  to  the  last,  and  her  end  was  crowned  with  extraordinary 
calmness.  It  seemed  like  the  unfettering  of  a  happy  spirit,  whose  future  peace  had  already 
commenced.  She  departed  about  12  o'clock,  on  the  night  of  the  8th  of  2d  month,  1815,  and 
her  remains  were  interred  on  the  ioth. 

"  Blessed  are  the  dead  which  die  in  the  Lord,  from  henceforth  ;  yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that 
they  may  rest  from  their  labours  ;  and  their  works  do  follow  them."

Mtg.,  3  mo.  24,  1769,  for  himself  and  wife,  was  directed  to  New  Garden

which  says  they  were  "  Diligent  attenders  of  meetings  for  Worship  and 
Discipline,  careful  to  bring  out  their  family.  &  both  serviceable  members : 
she  a  minister  well  approved."  For  a  few  years  they  were  members  of 
Concord  particular  meeting,  of  which  he  was  appointed  an  overseer,  i  i 
mo.  3,  1784.  By  deed  of  4  mo.  19,  1784.  he  purchased  from  Amos  Davis 
and  Eleanor,  his  wife,  a  farm  of  200  acres  in  E.  Bradford  (now  Birming- 
ham), and  23  acres  in  Westtown,  for  ^1550,  and  being  removed  to 
Birmingham  Meeting,  he  was  succeeded  by  Thomas  Speakman  5  mo.  4, 
1785,  as  overseer  of  Concord.  He  was  appointed  an  elder  2  mo.  8,  1786. 
On  the  back  of  his  first  marriage  certificate  he  made  the  following  entry: 

Edith  Sharpies  departed  this  Life  on  the  18th  of  1st  Mo.,  1787,  about  5  o'clock  in  the 
Morning,  after  an  illness  of  3  days.  On  the  20th  she  was  interred  at  Birmingham,  her  Corpse 
being  accompanied  by  a  great  number  of  Friends  ;  many  of  whom  were  from  a  Considerable 
distance  :  on  which  occation  a  large  and  Solemn  Meeting  was  held,  which  the  Lord  Graciously 
owned.  She  was  in  the  prime  of  life,  a  Minister  distinguishly  Gifted,  and  beloved  as  far  as 
known.  Her  removal  was  a  Close  stroke  to  many,  and  a  great  Loss  to  the  Church,  having  left 
.cry  few  equals  behind  her.     Aged  43  years  and  7  months,  a  minister  12  years  and  upwards. 

In  the  Collection  of  Memorials,  1787,  will  be  found  a  more  extended 
account  of  Edith  Sharpies.  Ann  Sharpies,  second  wife  of  Joshua,  was 
appointed  an  overseer  4  mo.  6,  1796,  in  room  of  Ann  Carter,  and  was 
appointed  an  elder  2  mo.  8,  1797.  Both  she  and  her  husband  were 
frequently  engaged  in  visiting  meetings  and  families,  as  companions  to 
ministers  or  otherwise. 

In  1 79S  Joshua  Sharpies  accompanied  several  Friends  on  a  visit  to  the 
Indians  in  the  western  part  of  New  York,  under  the  Chief,  Cornplanter  ; 
the  object  being  to  examine  into  the  feasibility  of  attempting  their  civiliza- 
tion in  accordance  with  a  concern  of  the  Yearly  Meeting.  Of  this  visit  he 
appears  to  have  been  the  journalist  and  his  account  thereof  has  been 
printed  in  "The  Friend,"  xxi.  14,  &c.  The  result  being  encouraging,  an 
institution  was  established  at  what  is  now  known  as  Tunesassa,  where  his 
son-in-law  and  daughter,  Rachel,  were  afterward  engaged  until  the  death  of 
the  latter.  Joshua  also  wrote  some  account  of  the  ravages  of  the  yellow 
fever,  in  1  798.  which  may  be  found  in  the  same  volume.  He  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  Birmingham  Library  organized  in  1795. 

In  the  4th  mo.,  1S00,  Joshua  and  Ann  Sharpies  took  charge,  as 
superintendents,  of  the  Friends'  Boarding  School  in  Westtown,  which  had 
been  opened  about  a  year,  and  continued  in  that  station  till  10  mo.  17, 
181 1,  when  they  returned  to  their  home  on  the  farm.

A/i  account  of  the  last  sickness  and  death  of  Isaac  Sharpies,  zcith 
some  of  his  last  expressions,  mostly  taken  down  in  writing,  by  his  sister 
Rebecca  ;    being  as  follows, 

My  dear  brother  Isaac  Sharpies  was  taken  sick  on  the  8th  of  the  first  month,  17S0,  which 
proved  to  be  the  small-pox  ;  we  were  in  hopes  for  several  days,  he  would  have  had  it  favourably, 
though  much  afflicted  with  a  sore  throat,  and  a  watery  humour  in  his  mouth,  which  disturbed 
his  rest,  so  that  he  slept  but  little;  on  the  14th,  and  6th  of  the  week,  (when  I  went  into  the 
room,)  he  was  sitting  up  in  his  chair,  with  a  pen  and  paper  in  his  hand,  and  said,  "Well  sister, 
I  want  to  make  my  will,  for  I  am  as  fully  convinced  in  my  mind,  that  I  shall  die  of  the  small- 
pox, as  that  I  have  it."  I  replied,  "Why  dost  thou  think  so?"  He  answered,  "not  because 
I  feel  much  amiss,  but  so  it  seems  to  me."  The  same  morning  he  expressed  something  like  it 
to  his  wife  ;  saying,  "  I  have  thought  so  from  the  first,  and  am  now  convinced  of  it ;  but  not 
much  dissatisfied  about  it,  only  on  thy  account."  She  being  troubled,  he  drew  his  chair  towards 
her,  and  desired  she  might  not  grieve.  He  at  several  times  expressed  to  her  that  he  felt  as 
though  there  was  a  pure  stream  within  him.  He  continued  very  cheerful  for  several  days  after. 
bearing  his  affliction  with  becoming  patience  and  resignation.  Most  that  saw  him,  thought  he 
had  the  disorder  favourably  ;  but  about  the  turn,  his  fever  increasing,  the  swelling  fell,  and  his 
breathing  became  more  difficult :  at  which  time  he  was  willing  the  doctor  should  be  sent  for. 
This  was  on  the  seventh  day  of  the  week  ;  that  night  he  desired  all  might  be  still  and  quiet, 
saying,  "  I  feel  pretty  well."  He  often  remembered  his  dear  wife  ;  and  all  his  expressions 
were  seasoned  with  love,  calling  us  his  dear  sisters.  He  complained  of  a  great  load  and 
oppression  about  his  heart,  saying,  "I  am  so  spent  I  must  go."  I  asked  if  he  was  willing? 
After  a  short  pause,  he  said,  ''I  believe  it  will  be  my  gain  :"  with  some  more  words  which 
were  not  well  understood.  He  then  said,  "Steward,  give  up  thy  stewardship,  for  thou  mayest 
be  no  longer  steward."  After  a  while  he  called  his  dear  wife  to  him  ;  and  kissing  her,  said, 
'•  My  dear,  I  believe  I  must  go  and  leave  thee  !"  She  asked  him  what  he  thought  of  his 
preparation  for  the  awful  change?  After  a  pause,  he  said,  "  I  have  nothing  to  boast  of;  if  I 
am  prepared,  it  is  through  the  mercy  of  God :  I  have  a  secret  hope  it  is  so, — I  have  faith,  yea. 
a  living  faith,  that  there  is  a  place  prepared  for  me  in  the  place  of  rest !"  And  further  said, 
"pray  for   me,    my   dear,   in    these    trying    moments."     Then  calling  for   his   mother,  and 


2  s  8  THE  SHARPLESS  FA  MIL  Y. 

affectionately  kissing  her,  said,  "farewell,  dear  mother!  I  believe  thou  must  part  with  thy 
for  my  strength  is  nearly  spent  :"  and  on  her  inquiring  if  he  was  willing  to  go,  he  further 
said,  "I  feel  a  degree  of  living  faith,  that  will  preserve  me  from  all  the  fiery  darts  of  the 
wicked  one  !"  He  then  desired  her  to  be  as  a  mother  to  his  dear  wife  and  little  son.  Then 
calling  for  his  lather,  he  took  leave  of  him,  saying,  ''I  have  lived  with  thee  many  years,  and 
endeavoured  to  do  the  best  I  could  ;  do  remember  my  dear  wife  and  little  son  ;  be  kind  to 
her,  and  take  care  of  her  as  one  of  thy  own  children,  until  she  is  otherwise  provided  for." 
He  was  much  concerned  for  his  wife,  charging  her  father  and  mother,  as  he  took  leave  of 
them,  to  be  kind  to  her,  and  not  to  bear  hard  upon  her,  nor  grieve  her.  And  when  taking 
leave  of  his  sister  Amy,  he  gave  her  the  like  charge.  His  brother  Aaron  coming  to  him,  he 
bid  him  farewell,  saying,  "  I  desire  thee  to  redeem  thy  time,  that  it  may  be  well  with  thee  in 
the  end."  He  called  for  Cajsar,  a  negro  man  who  was  hired  with  us,  and  bid  him  farewell; 
giving  him  a  charge  to  take  care  and  not  love  strong  drink  too  well;  saying,  I  am  afraid 
it  will  injure  thee  yet."  After  giving  his  brother  Joshua  some  directions  about  settling 
his  accounts,  he  seemed  so  spent  he  could  not  have  held  it  much  longer.  He 
enquired  what  time  it  was  :  and  being  told  it  was  about  the  gth  hour,  said,  he  thought  he 
should  not  go  before  twelve  ;  and  saying  a  few  words  in  prayer,  some  of  which  were  not 
understood,  he  desired  the  Lord  might  grant  him  admittance  into  his  favour,  to  praise  his 
name:  saying,  "amen,  amen."  Then  lay  as  though  he  was  expiring  ;  and  after  some  hard 
struggles,  he  seemed  to  revive  a  little  ;  and  calling  for  me,  kissed  me,  and  bid  me  farewell, 
calling  me  his  "Dear  Sister,"  (as  he  had  often  done  that  day,)  and  asked  if  we  ever  saw  any 
body  so  far  gone,  to  recover?  Being  asked  if  he  desired  it,  he  answered,  "only  because  it 
will  be  so  hard  for  you  to  part  with  me!"  He  afterward  seemed  uneasy,  as  though  he  had 
something  to  say;  being  asked,  he  said,  "No,  I  believe  I  have  said  all  !"  And  being  raised 
higher  in  his  bed,  he  seemed  to  doze  a  little,  laying  more  easy  than  he  had  for  some  time 
before  ;  drawing  his  breath  shorter  and  shorter,  until  he  quietly  expired,  as  if  falling  into  a 
sweet  sleep  ;  and  no  doubt,  is  entered  into  rest. 

He  departed  this  life  on  the  23d  day  of  the  first  month,  1780,  being  in  the  32d  year  of 
his  age.

Our  beloved  sister  Rebecca  wrote  the  folloiuing  short  testimony  concerning 
her  dear  deceased  brother  Isaac  Sharpies,  a  little  before  she  was  seized  zvith 
the  same  disorder. 

It  resteth  on  my  mind  to  add  something  concerning  my  dear  brother,  whose  exemplary 
life  and  conversation,  preached  loudly  to  those  who  knew  him.  He  was  well  beloved  by  friends 
and  others  :  a  lover  of  harmony,  both  at  home  and  abroad  ;  often  exhorting  the  children  to 
love  and  quietude,  and  was  concerned  that  his  neighbours  might  live  in  unity ;  well  knowing 
that  without  it,  truth's  prosperity  would  be  obstructed  ;  and  if  he  thought  any  had  aught 
against  him,  he  could  not  be  easy  until  it  was  removed.  He  was  serviceable  in  Church  affairs, 
and  concerned  that  the  work  of  reformation  might  go  on  in  its  proper  channel  ;  and  that 
there  might  not  only  be  an  outward  conformity,  but  that  all  parts  of  our  conduct  and 
conversation  might  correspond  therewith  :  being  deeply  exercised  that  Friends  might  bear  a 
faithful  testimony  to  the  truth  we  make  profession  of,  now  in  this  time  of  outward  trials. 

I  well  know  he  was  often  a  silent  burden-bearer  on  these  ;  as  well  as  on  many  other 
accounts  ;  always  more  in  substance  than  in  shew  !     What  shall  I  say  to  set  forth  his  hidden 


LINE  OF  BENJAMIN 3,  JOSEPH1.  259 

worth,  that  others  may  be  excited  thereby  to  an  humble,  steady  walking  in  an  inward  labour 
of  spirit  ;  and  so  our  souls  may  be  prepared  for  our  final  change  !  And  then,  whether  life  or 
death,  we  shall  be  ready  to  obey  the  Lord's  call. 

He  was  of  a  meek  and  quiet  spirit,  a  loving  and  faithful  husband,  a  dutiful  and  obedient 
son,  a  tender  and  affectionate  father,  and  a  truly  kind  and  helpful  brother  ;  the  loss  of  whom 
1  sensibly  feel  ;  and  he  will  be  greatly  missed  in  this  family,  as  well  as  in  more  public  sen  ires 
in  the  Church.

Eli   YamaWs  testimony  concerning  Isaac  Sharpies,  aforesaid. 

Having  unity  with  the  foregoing  testimony  concerning  this  my  dear  deceased  friend  and 
cousin,  I  find  freedom  to  add  a  few  words  thereto,  concerning  his  services  in  the  church,  for 
the  reason  before  mentioned  :  that  others  may  walk  in  the  footsteps  of  the  flock  of  Christ's 
companions,  and  follow  him,  as  they  have  such  for  example,  that  when  the  alarming 
proclamation  is  sounded,  "  Steward,  give  up  thy  stewardship,  for  thou  mayest  be  no  longer 
steward,"  the  pangs  of  a  death-bed  may  be  mitigated,  by  having  a  well  grounded  hope  of 
entering  into  that  rest,  which  is  finally  prepared  for  the  righteous ;  which  was  the  case  with 
this  our  dear  friend,  as  appears  by  his  own  words  "  I  have  a  living  faith,  there  is  a  place 
prepared  for  me  in  the  place  of  rest."  He  was  a  diligent  attender  of  religious  meetings,  both 
for  worship  and  discipline  ;  in  the  latter  of  which,  he  was  very  serviceable  ;  being  truly- 
united  in  spirit  with  the  faithful  labourers,  for  the  prosperity  of  truth,  and  the  honour  of  God  : 
his  sentiments  were  seasoned  with  meekness  and  submission,  rather  preferring  the  judgment  of 
others  ;  and  when  nominated  for  services,  being  loath  to  excuse  himself,  submitted  thereto  in 
diffidence  and  a  sense  of  his  own  inability ;  but  I  believe,  through  Divine  assistance,  he  never 
failed  to  perform  them  to  the  satisfaction  of  his  brethren.  Being  for  some  time  chosen  as 
clerk  in  our  Montly-meeting,  and  well  qualified  for  that  weighty  service;  in  labouring  for  the 
restoration  of  those  who  had  broken  the  rules  of  our  discipline,  he  manifested  great  tenderness, 
in  a  plain,  sincere  manner ;  pressing  the  necessity  of  true  repentance ;  which  would  be 
manifested  by  amendment  of  life;  and  would  excite  them  to  a  diligent  attendance  of  meetings 
for  Divine  worship,  being  himself  an  experimental  witness  of  the  benefit  arising  from  it.  I 
believe  he  may  justly  bear  the  character  of  a  watchman  on  Zion's  walls  ;  being  careful  that 
the  enemy  might  be  guarded  against  in  every  appearance.  He  was  much  concerned,  lest  any 
whose  hearts  have  been  truly  touched,  should,  for  want  of  patiently  abiding  under  the  humbling 
hand,  and  duly  trying  the  spirits,  mistake  imagination  for  revelation,  and  follow  the  heat  of 
their  own  spirits  into  inconvenient  things ;  and  for  want  of  being  established  on  the 
immutable  foundation,  by  their  instability,  bring  dishonour  to  the  truth,  and  a  burthen  on 
faithful  Friends ;  being  also  an  example  in  that  middle  path,  that  shuns  extremes. 

His  corpse  was  accompanied  by  a  great  gathering  of  Friends  and  others,  and  decently 
interred  in  Friends'  burial-ground  in  Middletown,  on  the  25th  of  the  month  aforesaid  ;  on 
which  occasion,  we  were  favoured  with  a  solemn  meeting,  the  spring  of  the  Gospel  ministry 
being  opened  in  a  very  powerful  and  efficacious  manner,  to  the  tendering  many  hearts.

26o  THE  SHAM  PL  ESS  FAMILY. 

29,  1749;  d.  2  mo.  9,  1780,  unmarried.  She  and  Isaac  Coates,  of  East 
Cain,  declare  their  intention  of  marriage  3  mo.  22,  1 7 7 1 ,  but  at  the  next 
meeting  it  was  minuted  that  "  the  marriage  laid  before  last  meeting, 
between  Coates  and  Sharpies,  is  put  by,  on  account  of  the  man's 
indisposition  of  mind."  Although  his  aberration  was  but  temporary  they 
never  renewed  their  enorao-ement,  and  he  married  Hannah  Stalker,  1  2  mo. 

O      O 

1,  1773.  Rebecca  Sharpies  was  chosen  at  the  age  of  twenty-seven,  6  mo. 
24,  1776,  to  the  responsible  position  of  clerk  to  the  women's  monthly 
meeting,  in  which  she  continued  until  her  death.  She  was  also  appointed 
6  mo.  30,  1777,  to  transcribe  the  minutes  after  revision  by  a  committee. 
She  wrote  her  name  "  Rebekah." 

Soon  after  our  beloved  friend  Rebecca  Sharpies  had  written  the  forementioned  testimony 
of  her  deceased  brother,  she  was  taken  ill  of  the  same  disorder,  in  which  she  lay  14  days. 
The  tender  and  near  affection,  not  only  of  her  near  relations,  but  several  other  Friends, 
engaged  them  to  attend  on  her  with  the  utmost  diligence  and  care,  that  no  endeavours  might  be 
neglected  that  could  tend  to  lighten  her  affliction,  or  alleviate  her  distress,  which  she  bore  with 
wonderful  patience  and  resignation  of  mind ;  during  which  time  she  dropt  many  weighty 
expressions :  such  as  could  be  remembered  were  taken  down  in  writing,  and  are  to  the 
following  effect,  viz. : 

On  the  30th  of  the  first  month,  a  Friend  who  was  sitting  by  her,  observing  she  was 
likely  to  have  a  great  load  of  the  disorder,  said  to  her,  he  hoped  she  was  not  terrified  about 
what  might  be  the  event :  she  answered,  no,  I  am  resigned,  I  have  been  wonderfully  preserved 
in  resignation.  The  same  day,  another  Friend  speaking  to  her  concerning  her  state  of  mind, 
she  replied,  "it  has  been  more  my  desire  to  feel  his  presence,  who  is  strength  in  weakness, 
than  to  live."  On  the  3d  of  the  2d  month,  towards  evening,  being  under  much  bodily 
affliction,  it  pleased  the  Lord,  in  his  unerring  wisdom,  for  the  trial  of  her  faith  and  patience, 
(and  perhaps  not  for  her  sake  only)  to  hide  his  face,  and  withdraw  his  presence  during  the 
night  season  ;  in  which  the  adversary,  the  accuser  of  the  brethren,  was  permitted  to  assault 
her  on  every  hand.  She  signified  in  substance,  that  her  dwelling  was  as  amongst  fiery  spirits; 
that  she  was  fixed  and  bound  in  the  anguish  and  portion  of  the  miserable  ;  that  she  looked 
around,  and  saw  no  redemption  ;  was  ready  to  despair  of  mercy,  and  to  fear  that  her  residence 
was  to  be  there  forever  ;  her  exercise  and  conflict  of  mind,  that  she  might  be  restored  to 
a  state  of  acceptance,  was  great  beyond  description.  A  Friend  who  attended  on  her,  under 
a  deep  concern  and  sympathy  with  and  for  her,  that  she  might  be  preserved  in  stability  and 
patience,  had  some  expressions  to  arise  in  his  mind,  which  he  dropt  to  her  by  way  of 
encouragement.  She  answered  :  his  words  felt  good,  but  her  help  was  not  in  man.  After 
some  time  she  signified  she  believed  it  was  as  he  said,  a  trial  of  her  faith  and  patience  ;  and 
that  she  felt  a  degree  of  faith  and  hope,  that  she  should  be  again  raised  out  of  that  state  ;  and 
that  she  yet  felt  love  to  her  friends.  Towards  morning  she  uttered  divers  pathetic  sentences, 
with  much  ardour  and  weight ;  setting  forth  what  she  had  seen  and  felt  in  that  deep  probation, 
great  part  of  which  cannot  be  remembered.  She  said  :  "  I  have  seen  wonderful  things,  which  I 
am  not  now  able  to  express!" — a  little  after  said,  "I  feel  myself  like  the  dry  bones  in  the 
open  valley,  which  had  neither  sinews  nor  flesh,  yet  were  raised  up,  and  became  an  army  of 
living  instruments."     She  was  in  great  anxiety  to  know  the  cause  why  she  was  so  deeply  tried, 


LINE  OF  BENJAMINS  JOSEPH*.  26i 

signifying  she  had  overhauled  all  her  past  conduct,  wherein  things  which  she  thought  she  had 
done  innocently,  and  from  a  sense  of  duty,  were  now  accounted  unto  her  for  presumption. 
She  also  said  :  "1  have  been  thinking  about  Innoculation,  and  cannot  see  any  cause  to  repent 
that  1  have  not  joined  with  it."  In  the  morning  she  seemed  fainty,  but  soon  after  revived. 
At  another  time  she  said:  "Oh,  the  trials  and  troubles  that  are  in  the  world!  they  that  will 
not  be  brought  down  by  one  means,  must  by  another."  On  the  6th  of  the  2d  month,  she 
mentioned  to  a  friend,  that  she  had  passed  through  a  sore  conflict,  being  tempted  to  believe 
she  was  bound  in  the  chains  of  darkness,  but  that  she  was  finely  got  over  it :  and  being  asked 
if  she  expected  to  be  raised  up  again  amongst  us,  she  replied  (after  a  solemn  pause)  I  can  say, 
"  his  will  and  not  mine,  be  done ;  if  he  hath  a  work  yet  for  me  to  do,  I  desire  to  be  obedient ; 
but  if  not,  it  is  better  to  go  now,  than  to  stay  here  without  his  presence."  To  another  friend, 
she  said,  "  Oh  !  I  love  my  friends  yet :  and  though  I  am  now  in  a  low  state,  if  it  be  his  will 
so  to  do,  he  is  able  to  raise  me  ;  but  I  can  say,  '  his  will  be  done  :'  and  though  some  faithful 
labourers  are  taken  away,  I  believe  others  will  be  raised  up  in  such  a  manner,  that  the 
Testimony  will  be  advanced,  to  the  honor  of  his  great  name.  Oh  that  young  convinced 
Friends  may  keep  their  places,  and  be  faithful !  Be  thou  faithful.  At  another  time,  being 
told  that  her  brother  Aaron  was  there,  she  desired  him  to  come  to  her,  saying:  "Thou  seest, 
brother,  what  a  poor  condition  I  am  in  :  and  thou  as  well  as  I,  have  seen  how  it  has  lately 
been  with  brother  Isaac.  It  is  a  great  satisfaction,  that  I  am  quite  easy  ;  I  feel  nothing  to  lay 
heavy  on  my  mind  :  Do  remember  our  dear  parents,  comfort  and  support  them  in  their  old 
age  ;  remember,  they  have  had  great  care  and  toil  on  our  account ;  do  nothing  to  grieve  or 
cross  them.  It  has  been  my  care  these  fifteen  years,  to  smooth  and  make  their  passage  easy 
through  the  descent  of  life.  Remember  our  little  sisters  and  brothers  ;  I  feel  an  engagement 
of  mind  on  their  account ;  they  have  the  stamp  of  virtue  on  their  countenances  ;  set  them  a 
good  example  in  sobriety  and  plainness :  thou  knowest  not  how  soon  thou  mayest  be  in  my 
condition,  and  then  it  will  be  a  great  satisfaction  to  have  an  easy  mind." 

In  the  early  part  of  her  illness,  she  expressed  an  uneasiness  with  some  things  in  the  house, 
which  she  believed  not  consistent  with  primitive  simplicity;  and  gave  directions  how  to 
dispose  of  her  own  property,  giving  some  of  her  clothing  to  the  poor  neighbours.  She 
frequently  expressed  a  desire  that  her  friends  about  her  might  feel  and  sympathize  with  her, 
saying,  "I  have  need  of  the  help  of  your  spirits  in  these  trying  moments."  The  day  she 
died,  she  called  to  her  cousin,  who  attended  on  her,  saying,  "I  see  a  light,  exceeding  the 
brightness  of  the  sun  !"  Apprehending  her  end  drew  hear,  she  desired  that  her  younger 
brother,  and  four  sisters,  who  lay  in  the  disorder  below  stairs,  might  be  brought  up,  that  she 
might  take  her  leave  of  them  ;  which  she  did  in  an  affecting  manner,  one  after  another,  as 
they  came  to  her  bed-side;  giving  them  a  charge  to  be  dutiful  and  kind  to  their  parents,  and 
endeavour  to  live  so  as  to  end  well ;  saying  to  one  of  them,  "  Farewell,  dear  sister  ;  do  not 
grieve  for  me,  my  head  will  be  laid  safe  ;  do  not  forget  these  trying  moments,  and  do  not 
mind  pride  and  high-mindedness ;  for  it  is  an  evil,  and  a  hurtful  thing:  but  live  in  the 
humility  of  the  Spirit,  and  in  meekness,  for  that  is  the  bond  of  peace."  They  all  manifested 
their  love  and  near  affection  for  her,  by  their  grief  and  tears  at  their  solemn  parting  ;  may 
they  ever  remember,  both  her  advice  and  example  !  She  likewise  took  a  solemn  leave  of  her 
parents,  with  tender  affection  bidding  them  farewell.  Some  time  after,  being  thought  near 
her  end,  she  said  nearly  as  follows,  "  I  am  passing  through  the  valley  and  region  of  the 
shadow  of  death  !  I  desire  your  prayers,  that  I  may  have  an  easy  passage."  After  this  she 
revived  a  little.  A  few  hours  before  she  departed,  she  was  under  a  close  exercise  of  spirit,  to 
be  fully  given  up  to  her  heavenly  Father's  will,  and  that  her  friends  might  give  her  up ;  saying, 


-62  THE  SHARP  LESS  FAMILY. 

"  O  how  hard  it  is  to  give  up  !"  Praying  for  resignation,  and  that  His  will  might  be  done  : 
and  some  time  after,  slid  in  a  solemn  manner — "  Oh  give  up  !  for  the  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and 
the  fullness  thereof:  therefore  give  up  to  Him."  After  which  she  lay  in  a  quiet  frame  of 
mind,  saying  several  times,  "I  feel  easy."  Some  hours  before  she  departed,  her  brother 
Joshua  asked  her  how  she  was?  She  answered,  "  I  feel  quiet  and  resigned,  which  is  a  favour, 
but  am  looking  for  every  moment  to  be  my  last!"  After  which  she  asked  for  her  brother 
Benjamin,  to  lean  on  him,  that  she  might  breathe  more  easy;  and  desiring  to  lay  down  again, 
after  a  little  while  she  quietly  expired,  leaving  a  sweet  savour  behind  her,  in  the  31st  year  of 
her  age. 

On  the  nth  of  the  2nd  month,  1780,  her  remains  were  decently  interred  in  Friends' 
burial  ground  at  Middletown  being  attended  thither  by  a  "great  concourse  of  friends  and 
neighbours  ;  where  a  solemn  meeting  was  held,  and  several  living  testimonies  were  borne,  to 
the  edification  of  the  honest  hearted.

Jesse  Darlington,  of  Middletown,  and  William  Poole,  of  Wilmington, 
executors  of  Samuel  Sharpies,  by  deed  of  2  mo.  11,  1797,  conveyed  to 
Isaac  Glover  Gilpin,  of  Birmingham,  the  Sharpies  homestead  in  Middletown, 
with  150  acres  of  land,  and  9  acres  in  Aston,  for  ,£2200;  and  Isaac  G. 
Gilpin,  with  Hannah,  his  wife,  conveyed  the  same  to  Jesse  Darlington,  2 
mo.  13,  1797,  for  the  same  sum.  The  latter  built  an  addition  to  the  house, 
in  1S02,  which  is  now  the  residence  of  his  grandson  of  the  same  name. 
Jesse  and  wife  were  buried  at  Middletown  Mtg.     Their  children  were —

The  personal  history  of  Peter  Yarnall  is  full  of  interest.  His  father, 
Mordecai  Yarnall2,  son  of  Francis1,  removed  from  Willistown  township, 
Chester  Co.,  Pa.,  before  Peter's  birth,  and  was  a  valued  minister  in  the 
Society  of  Friends.  Somewhat  late  in  life  he  married,  3  mo.  3,  1768,  Ann 
Maris,  widow  of  Joseph,  and  changed  his  residence  to  Springfield  township, 
where  he  died  about  the  commencement  of  the  Revolutionary  War.  Peter 
was  placed  apprentice  in  Philadelphia,  to  learn  the  business  of  a  tanner 
and  currier,  but  his  master  shortly  declined  the  business,  and  he  was 
placed  with   another,  within    the    limits  of  Uwchlan    Mo.    Mtg.,   Chester 


264  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Co.  ;  to  which  he  produced  a  certificate,  dated  10  mo.,  1770.  Owing  to  a 
disagreement  with  his  master,  who  appears  to  have  beer),  of  a  violent 
temper,  he  absconded,  went  to  New  York,  and  enlisted  in  the  army.  For 
this  he  was  disowned  by  Uwchlan  Mo.  Mtg.,  9  mo.  10,  1772;  soon  after 
which,  through  the  exertions  of  his  father's  friend,  John  Pemberton,  his 
release  from  the  army  was  obtained,  and  he  then  went  to  reside  with  Stacy 
Potts,  at  Trenton,  N.  J.,  till  he  was  twenty-one  years  of  age.  Removing 
to  Germantown,  Pa.,  he  followed  the  tanning  business  a  short  time,  but 
becoming  acquainted  with  Dr.  Bond,  he  was  induced  to  study  medicine  at 
the  hospital  in  Philadelphia.  In  1776,  he  entered  the  American  army  as 
surgeon's  mate,  and  afterward  acted  as  surgeon  ;  and  to  use  his  own  words 
"  continued  in  a  long  course  of  vanity  and  dissipation,  *  *  *  pursuing 
one  scene  of  licentiousness  and  cruelty  after  another."  Early  in  1779,  he 
embarked  on  a  privateer  for  a  cruise  to  the  West  Indies,  from  which  he 
returned  to  Philadelphia  6  mo.  4th  of  that  year,  and  again  connected 
himself  with  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital.  About  a  year  later  a  change 
appears  to  have  come  over  his  feelings  :  he  began  to  attend  the  meetings 
of  Friends,  and  under  a  deep  sense  of  contrition  for  his  past  conduct  he 
offered  an  acknowledgment  therefor  to  Uwchlan  Monthly  Meeting,  1 2  mo. 
7,  1780,  which  was,  after  due  consideration,  accepted.  A  certificate 
transferring  his  membership  to  Philadelphia  was  granted  4  mo.  5,  1  781,  and 
from  thence  he  received  one  to  Concord,  dated  8  mo.  29,  1781.  Before 
leaving  the  city  he  had  begun  to  speak  in  meetings,  and  he  was 
recommended  as  a  minister  by  Concord  Mo.  Mtg.,  6  mo.  5,  1782.  His 
wife  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  to  Concord,  10  mo.  28,  1782.  In 
1785  there  appeared  to  be  an  opening  for  him  at  York,  in  York  Co.,  as  a 
physician,  and  they  removed  thither  with  their  child,  taking  a  certificate  to 
Warrington  Mo.  Mtg.,  dated  6  mo.  8,  1785.  York  Monthly  Meeting  was 
established  the  next  year,  and  Hannah  was  the  first  clerk  for  the  women's 
meeting. 

Here,  as  well  as  at  Concord,  Peter  was  much  engaged,  in  religious 
visits  to  families  and  distant  meetings.  It  is  said  of  him  that  the  powers  of 
his  memory  were  uncommonly  retentive,  and  his  apprehensions  quick  and 
lively.  Hence  the  anecdotes  of  his  repeating  sermons  among  the  soldiery, 
when  in  the  army,  and  thus  working  on  their  passions  till  many  were  in 
tears.  As  a  physician  he  was  skilful,  attentive  and  much  beloved  for  his 
tenderness  and  assiduity  ;  for  he  knew  how  to  sympathise  with  the  afflicted, 
either  in  body  or  mind.  As  a  neighbor,  he  was  kind,  sociable  and  obliging. 
In  meetings  his  countenance  was  solid,  and  clothed  with  reverential  awe. 


LINE  OF  BENJAMIN 3,  JOSEPH*.  265 

When  he  rose  to  advocate  the  cause  of  Truth,  it  was  with  solemn  dignity 
in  his  manner  and  countenance — humility  and  meekness  conspicuously 
marked  his  features.  His  elocution  was,  at  first,  soft  and  slow,  but  as  he 
proceeded,  life  and  energy  increased  till  his  whole  soul  became  so 
completely  absorbed  in  his  subject,  that  he  appeared  unconscious  of  his 
gesticulations,  which  were  considerable.  Pathetic  entreaty,  persuasive  love, 
and  powerful  appeals  to  the  understanding  and  the  heart,  with  clear  and 
cogent  illustrations  of  gospel  truths,  rendered  his  ministry  peculiarly  con- 
vincing and  consolatory. 

He  and  his  wife,  with  their  four  children,  received  a  certificate  from 
York  to  Horsham  Mo.  Mtg.,  Montgomery  County,  8  mo.  10,  1 79 1,  and 
it  is  supposed  settled  at  what  is  now  called  Hatborough,  where  Hannah 
died.  He  was  married  again,  2  mo.  15,  1797,  at  Byberry  Mtg.,  to  Hannah, 
widow  of  Joseph  Thornton,  and  daughter  of  Edmund  and  Elizabeth  Haines, 
b.  at  Evesham,    X.  J.,   2   mo.    26,    1765;  d.  7  mo.  2,    1822.     They  had  a 

daughter  who  married  Richardson.     After   his    second  marriage 

Peter  resided  at  the  former  home  of  James  Thornton,  in  Byberry,  where 
he  died.  Some  account  of  his  life  and  parts  of  his  journal  have  been 
published  in  Friends?  Miscellany,  vol.  ii. ;  and  in  Biographical  Sketches  and 
Anecdotes  of  Friends,  an  interesting  memoir  will  be  found. 

Lines  to  the  memory  of  Hannah  Yarnall  {late  wife  of  Peter  Yamall,) 
who  departed  this  life,  April  nth,  1795,  in  the  j /si  year  of  her  age. 

Flown  is  a  spirit  to  the  realms  above, 

Where  holy  souls  breathe  forth  in  strains  of  love: 

Her  gentle  manners,  joined  to  pious  trust, 

Are  sweet  memento's,  now  she's  laid  in  dust. 

Short  was  her  warning,  while  her  mind,  serene, 

With  passive  fortitude  endur'd  the  scene. 

Tho'  fondest  ties,  which  form  our  social  chain 

Compos'd  its  links  on  this  terrestrial  plain  ;  — 

Tho'  daughter,  mother,  sister,  Jriend,  and  wife, 

Were  strong  attractions  to  allure  to  life  ; 

With  mild  obedience  she  resign'd  them  all ; 

Nobly  attentive  to  a  greater  call. 

Her  lively  faith  presented  brighter  views, 

Than  what  the  earth-born  worldling,  keen  pursues. 

Finite  at  best,  each  glitt'ring  bauble  flies, 

And  bursts  the  bubble,  when  the  mortal  dies. 

Then  deep  eternity  succeeds  to  time, 

All-wondrous  rapture,  soaring  and  sublime. 


266  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

One  universal  church  shall  there  extend, 
And  virtuous  spirits,  in  true  homage,  bend 
Before  the  splendors  of  Jehovah's  throne, 
Where  sin  and  sorrow  are  alike  unknown. 
No  vain  distinctions  bind  :   no  narrow  sects : 
One  general  shepherd,  one  pure  flock  protects. 
One  font  of  love,  beams  forth  the  glorious  light, 
Perpetual  day  dispels  the  gloom  of  night. 
Nor  sun  nor  moon  with  waning  lustre  fades, 
But  one  resplendent  blaze,  the  whole  pervades. 

E.   F n. 

[First  edition,  p.  122.] 

A  testimony  of  the  Monthly  Meeting  of  Horsham,  concerning  our 
beloved  friend  Peter  Yartiall,  deceased ;  who  departed  this  life  at  his  house  in 
Byberry,  the  20th  day  of  the  2nd  month,  1J98,  in  the  45th  year  of  his  age, 
after  a  short  illness. 

It  appears  that  this  our  valued  friend  was  born  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  and  was  the 
son  of  our  ancient,  esteemed  friend,  Mordecai  Yarnall  ;  from  whose  precepts  and  example,  in 
the  time  of  his  youth,  he  widely  departed  ;  which  was  cause  of  much  grief  to  his  pious  father : 
so  that  he  might  justly  be  compared  to  the  prodigal,  that  wandered  into  a  far  country,  and 
spent  his  portion  in  riotous  living. 

In  the  time  of  the  late  revolution,  he  entered  into  the  army,  where  he  continued  a 
considerable  time :  but  being  followed  by  the  holy  reproofs  of  the  great  Shepherd  of  Israel, 
he  was  at  length  made  willing  to  deny  himself,  take  up  his  cross,  and  become  a  fool  in  the 
eyes  of  his  former  associates ;  and,  after  enduring  a  season  of  conflict,  and  deep  baptism,  he 
was  qualified  for,  and  called  to  the  work  of  the  ministry  ;  in  which  he  became  zealously 
engaged  to  promote  the  cause  of  truth  and  righteousness. 

He  settled  with  his  family  within  the  compass  of  our  Monthly  Meeting,  a  few  years 
since  ;  where  he  fervently  laboured  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  ;  and  of  him  we  think  it  may- 
be said,  that  he  was  fervent  in  spirit,  serving  the  Lord,  and  edifying  the  church ;  willing  to 
spend  and  be  spent  in  His  cause ;  to  whom  he  often  acknowledged  his  great  obligations,  for 
plucking  him  as  a  brand  from  the  burning  ;  having  frequently,  in  his  testimony,  to  declare  of 
the  Lord's  long  suffering,  and  gracious  dealings  with  him  ;  and  to  invite  the  prodigal  son  to 
return  to  the  father's  house,  where  there  is  bread  enough,  and  to  spare  (which  he  had 
abundantly  experienced)  and  to  rest  no  longer  satisfied  with  feeding  upon  husks.  Much  of 
his  time  was  given  up  in  travelling  abroad,  to  promote  truth  and  righteousness  amongst 
mankind  ;  being  eminently  gifted  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  ;  yet  he  was  not  forward  or 
hasty  in  his  public  appearances,  but  was  concerned  to  wait  for  renewed  qualifications  from 
time  to  time. 

He  frequently  had  religious  meetings  appointed  amongst  those  not  of  our  society  ;  and 
was  often  favoured  to  lift  up  his  voice  in  the  power  and  authority  of  truth,  to  publish  the 
gospel  of  salvation,  to  the  awakening  of  the  careless,  and  to  the  encouragement  of  the  weary 
travellers  Zionward  ;  on  whom,  at  times,  his  doctrine  dropped  as  the  dew  on  the  tender  herbs. 
He  was  frequently  concerned  to  promote  the  ancient  and  edifying  practice  of  visiting  friends 


LINE  OF  BENJAMIN 3,  JOSEPH'.  267 

in  their  families,  for  whit  h  service  he  was  well  qualified  ;  and  divers  times  (we  believe) 
profitably  engaged  therein  ;  being  of  a  meek  and  courteous  disposition,  and  generally  beloved 
by  friends  and  others.  He  several  times  visited  most  of  the  eastern  and  southern  states. 
During  his  last  visit  to  the  former,  in  a  letter  to  a  friend,  he  wrote: — "I  have  been  under 
close  apprehensions,  since  I  first  came  to  New  England,  that  if  spared  to  get  home  (which 
perhaps  may  be  granted)  I  should  never  have  it  in  my  power  to  be  here  more." 

Some  of  his  last  expressions  being  retained,  are  nearly  as  follow.  In  the  afternoon  of 
the  14th  of  the  2nd  month,  being  taken  very  ill,  he  thus  addressed  himself  to  his  wife.  "  My 
dear,  I  don't  know  that  I  ever  felt  myself  more  poorly  than  at  this  time.  I  feel  no  anxiety  on 
my  own  account,  but  thine  and  the  childrens',  and  the  precious  cause  of  truth.  If  my  gracious 
Master  has  anything  for  me  to  do,  I  should  be  willing  to  be  raised  again  ;  but  have  seen  that 
I  should  be  a  man  of  affliction,  as  long  as  I  am  continued.  The  Lord's  will  be  done."  Some 
time  after,  desiring  his  wife  to  sit  by  him,  he  said,  "  Heaven  is  a  glorious  place  ;  into  which  I 
have  no  doubt  of  an  entrance,  if  I  should  be  removed  at  this  time.  I  acknowledge  it  is  awful 
to  think  of  appearing  before  the  bar  of  the  just  Judge ;  but  on  looking  at  it  I  feel  my  mind 
centered  in  uninterrupted  quiet."  Towards  evening,  he  said  he  thought  of  trying  to  sit  up, 
and  have  the  family  to  sit  down  together  with  him,  which  was  his  frequent  practice,  when  in 
usual  health. 

15th.  Being  queried  with  respecting  sending  for  a  physician,  he  said  his  dependance 
never  had  been  upon  outward  physicians  ;  but  believed  they  might  sometimes  be  means  of 
giving  some  temporary  relief  to  the  poor  body. 

16th.  The  Physician  being  come  to  see  him,  he  told  him  that  his  dependance  was  in 
the  Lord  Jesus  alone,  not  on  medicine,  but  submitted  to  those  about  him  in  taking  it.  On 
perceiving  his  wife  to  be  affected,  he  said,  "  My  dear,  thou  must  give  me  up  to  the  Lord,  who 
certainly  will  do  right :  may  our  dwellings  be  beside  the  still  waters :  mayest  thou  be  enabled 
to  keep  there  in  the  deepest  proving  seasons."  Some  time  after,  he  said, — "  O  the  precious- 
hin>  of  the  unity  of  the  spirit.  I  never  felt  my  dear  friends  nearer  to  me,  I  think  at  any  time  ; 
and  I  thought  I  never  felt  a  greater  flow  of  love  towards  them  universally,  than  when  in  our 
meeting  last,  although  I  was  silent." 

17th.  A  friend  coming  to  see  him,  he  said,  "  I  have  been  sensible  of  many  infirmities  ; 
but  I  believe  I  have  an  evidence  that  my  gracious  Master  has  blotted  out  my  transgressions." 
Some  hours  after,  addressing  his  daughter,  he  said,  "  If  I  should  be  taken  away  now  I  am 
apprehensive  I  shall  go  to  rest,  though  I  am  a  poor  weak  creature,  and  have  nothing  to  boast 
of:  I  have  been  concerned  for  thee,  and  the  rest  of  my  children  ;  and  have  prayed  for  you 
since  I  have  been  on  this  sick  bed."  After  recommending  obedience  and  gratitude  to  her 
observance,  he  added,  "I  desire  thou  mayst  so  live,  that  the  Lord  may  bless  thee;  and  to 
walk  in  his  fear,  is  the  only  way  to  obtain  it."  After  speaking  of  the  weight  of  his  disorder, 
he  said,  "  but  we  should  not  call  anything  hard,  dispensed  by  the  Divine  hand."  Some 
time  after  he  said,  "  the  Lord  Jesus,  my  Saviour,  is  near,  whatever  becomes  of  this  poor  body. 
I  hope  my  gracious  Master  will  give  me  patience  to  wait  his  time."  Speaking  to  the  children, 
he  said:  "O  my  dear  children,  love,  fear,  and  serve  God."  He  divers  times  addressed 
them  nearly  after  this  sort,  when  coming  to  speak  to  him  :  "Now  dear  children,  you  see  the 
need  of  preparing  for  such  a  time  as  this:  I  should  be  miserable  indeed,  if  I  did  not  feel 
an  easy  mind."  At  another  time,  calling  them  by  name,  he  said,  "My  dear  children, 
remember  the  many  religious  opportunities  we  have  had  together;  may  they  be  unto  you  as 
bread  cast  upon  the  waters." — "Oh  the  goodness  of  the  blessed  Jesus,"  was  frequently  his 
language. 


268  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

He  often  appeared  to  be  in  fervent  supplication,  when  very  little  could  be  understood, 
but,  "Lord,  thy  will,  not  mine,  be  done." 

A  little  before  his  departure,  being  asked  how  he  was,  said  :  "In  the  Lord's  keeping  ; 
I  have  that  evidence."  He  then  took  an  affectionate  farewell  of  his  wife,  and  quietly  expired 
without  sigh  or  groan. 

And  seeing  it  hath  pleased  the  great  Head  of  the  church,  in  his  wisdom,  which  is 
unsearchable,  to  remove  from  works,  this  our  dear  friend  ;  thereby  stripping  the  church  of  one 
who  was  concerned  for  the  enlargement  of  her  borders  ;  may  we  unite  in  fervent  supplication 
to  Him  who  is  the  great  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  may  be  pleased  to  qualify,  and  send 
forth  more  faithful  labourers  into  his  harvest. 

Signed  on  behalf  of  the  Monthly-meeting  aforesaid,  held  the  2nd  of  the  jlh  Month 
I7p8,  by 

Ezra  Townsend,    Clerk. 
[First  edition,  p.  123.] 

To  the  Memory  of  the  late  pious  Peter   Yarnall, 

When  those,  whom  flatterers  call  the  great,  have  died, 

The  sons  of  folly,  wealth,  ambition,  pride; 

What  mourning  throngs  have  crowded  round  their  grave, 

With  solemn  songs  from  death  their  name  to  save  ; 

But  when  the  truly  great,  the  pious,  die, 

How  few  the  breasts  that  swell  with  sorrow's  sigh  ! 

Yet  there  are  minds,  O  Yarnall !  where  thy  name 

Shall  be  embalm'd  with  honourable  fame ; 

Minds  that  delight  in  virtue,  and  disdain 

To  stoop  to  soothing  adulation's  strain  ; 

Such  souls  sincerely  give  melodious  praise, 

To  those  who  fairly  win  th'  immortal  bays. 

If  aught  earth-born,  can  give  the  laurel  crown, 

Those  spirits,  whom  their  God  and  Saviour  own, 

Who  nobly  forfeit  wealth,  and  ease,  and  life, 

To  wage  with  vice  a  more  than  mortal  strife  ; 

Who  climbs  the  steeps  where  heaven  and  virtue  lead, 

May  humbly  claim  the  imperishable  need. 

Such  is  the  high  and  honourable  claim, 

That  virtue  boldly  pleads  for  Yarnall's  name. 

His  private  sphere,  e'en  clouded  eyes  shall  find, 

By  deeds  of  light,  an  image  of  his  mind. 

A  cordial  love,  where  love  was  due  alone, 

Expressed  in  nature's  unaffected  tone, 

Stamping  each  heart,  that  tenderness  could  feel, 

Deep  with  sincerity's  undoubted  seal. 

But  if  reproof  were  due,  reproof  was  heard, 

With  angel  meekness  gracing  every  word, 

T'was  music  of  the  soul,  that  won  esteem 

E'en  from  the  guilty  heart. 


LINE  OF  BENJAMIN 3,  JOSEPH'.  269 

His  friends  were  numerous  ;   friends,  to  whom  his  heart 

Could  freely  the  full  flood  of  love  impart  ; 

But  by  no  friends,  and  by  no  sect,  confin'd, 

Were  the  warm  wishes  of  his  ardent  mind. 

Taught  in  the  school  of  Wisdom,  Heav'n's  first  law, 

He  felt  fraternal  love  for  all  he  saw. 

The  rich  and  poor,  with  equal  fervour  loved ; 

Superior  merit  only  most  approved. 

Like  those  of  old,  whose  strong  affections  flowed 

From  their  own  kindred,  till  they  spread  abroad 

O'er  the  wide  earth,  where'er  mankind  were  found  : 

Such  was  his  heart,  it  knew  no  other  bound  ; 

And  like  those  too,  commission'd  from  above, 

He  journey'd  full  of  meekness  as  of  love, 

To  teach  wild  erring  mortals  how  to  find, 

Amidst  the  storms  of  life,  true  peace  of  mind. 

By  Truth  eternal,  on  this  errand  sent, 

He  ne'er  forgot  his  Master's  deep  intent, 

But  as  th'  unerring  Spirit  led  the  way, 

He  taught  us  how  to  act,  and  how  to  pray. 

Strange  as  some  new  philosophers  may  deem, 

The  mighty  wonders  of  the  Gospel  theme  ; 

His  hopes  were  founded  on  the  sacred  Rock ; 

From  that  deep  well,  his  argument  he  took  ; 

And  none  with  mitred  head  has  ever  strove 

With  purer  zeal,  to  show  his  Master's  love ; 

To  justify  the  wisdom  of  his  ways, 

And  waft  on  wings  of  truth,  his  name  to  praise. 

No  mere  lip-service  did  he  dare  impart, 

To  him  whose  right  is  an  unsullied  heart. 

His  soul  was  with  such  reverence  impress'd, 

That  on  his  countenance  it  stood  confess'd, 

Ye  who  have  seen  him  rise  to  plead  the  cause 

Of  Heaven,  and  advocate  his  Saviour's  laws  ; 

Ye  know  that  language  is  too  poor  to  trace, 

His  unaffected  dignity  and  grace; 

And  when  the  music  of  his  voice  was  heard, 

Ye  felt  the  power  of  every  burning  word  ; 

And  by  the  workings  of  your  hearts,  confess'd 

That  something  more  than  human  touched  your  breast. 

Yes,  sainted  Spirit !  thy  commission  came 

From  Him,  whom  mortal  tongues,  Jehovah  name  ! 

Thy  thoughts  and  life  were  plac'd  within  his  hand; 

Thy  lips  were  sealed,  or  free,  at  his  command  ; 

And  when  he  bade  thee  speak,  his  spirit  own'd, 

Thy  words  were  truth,  and  thy  blest  labours  crown'd. 

T'was  his  deep  wisdom  taught  thee  to  descry, 


270  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Thoughts  that  lay  hidden  from  each  human  eye; 

To  see  beneath  religion's  fair  outside, 

The  selfish  heart  of  vanity  and  pride, 

And  in  thy  warning  voice,  his  spirit  spoke, 

While  the  dark  breast  with  awful  terrors,  shook ; 

But  when  Heaven's  mercy  dwelt  upon  thy  tongue, 

Dee])  strains  of  holy  rapture  pour'd  along; 

For  thy  mild  spirit  lov'd  to  sound  abroad, 

The  wondrous  mercies  of  the  eternal  God. 

Oft  has  it  drawn,  in  living  hues  of  thought, 

The  touching  parable  thy  Saviour  taught  ; 

Show'd  when  the  prodigal  returning  came, 

To  seek  his  father,  full  of  grief  and  shame  ; 

Repentant  bowed  his  face  upon  the  earth, 

And  own'd  himself  unworthy  of  his  birth  ; 

Thrill'd  by  parental  love,  o'ercame  with  joy, 

The  father  threw  his  arms  around  his  boy ; 

Forgave  his  crimes,  prepar'd  the  gladsome  feast, 

And  mingl'd  tears  of  rapture  with  his  guest. 

T'was  here,  thy  beaming  eloquence  of  soul, 

Shed  a  transparent  glory  round  the  whole. 

Thine  was  a  zeal  like  Paul's  above  all  fear; 

Though  meek,  yet  bold  ;  though  cautious,  yet  sincere  ; 

A  zeal,  obedient  to  thy  God's  command, 

Whose  value,  Christians  only  understand, 

But  now,  alas !  (if  man  may  dare  to  sigh, 

O'er  those  whom  Heaven  calls  to  their  native  sky,) 

Alas !  no  more  my  all  attentive  ear, 

The  inspirations  of  thy  soul  shall  hear; 

My  heart  no  longer  vibrate  to  thy  voice, 

Mourn  with  thy  spirit,  or  with  that  rejoice.

Meeting,  Wayne  Co.,  Ind. ;  m.  11  mo.  22,  1770,  at  Middletown  Mtg.,  to 
Jacob  Talbot,  b.  S  mo.  19,  174S;  d.  near  Richmond,  12  mo.  4,  1831, 
and  buried  at  Orange  Mtg.  They  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  Mo. 
Mtg.,  8  mo.  29,  1774,  to  Concord,  and  thence  to  Hopewell,  Va.,  4  mo.  6, 
[785.  They  settled  for  a  few  years  near  Winchester;  afterward  in 
Tennessee,  where  they  resided  in  18 16,  but  removed  to  Wayne  Co.,  Ind., 
before  their  deaths.  Lydia  B.  Jones,  of  Penn,  Cass  Co.,  Mich.,  2  mo.  18, 
1885,  says,  "I  wish  to  write  a  few  words  about  my  dear  grandmother, 
Susanna  Talbot,  who,  I  think,  was  a  woman  of  more  than  ordinary  abilities. 
She  died  in  the  93d  year  of  her  age,  retaining  her  mental  faculties,  as  well 
as  a  good  degree  of  bodily  strength,  until  about  four  days  before  her  death. 
She  was  a  devoted  Christian,  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  ;  of  which 
Society  most  of  her  descendants  are  to-day.  To  the  last  she  maintained  a 
great  love  for  her  native  State,  as  well  as  great  regard  for  her  family  name  ; 
often  speaking  of  the  published  Record  of  the  Sharpies  family." 
The  children  of  Jacob  and  Susanna  were —

John  Talbot',  the  grandfather  of  Jacob,  is  said  to  have  come  from 
England  and  settled  in  Middletown  about  the  year  1700,  and  he  was 
certainly  here  in  17 10.  John  Turner,  perhaps  the  brother  or  father  of  John 
Talbot's  wife,  bought  of  Joshua  Hastings,  Oct.  30,  1718,  268  acres  of  land 
in  Middletown,  near  the  Friends'  Meeting-house,  and  conveyed  one-half 
thereof  Nov.  22,  17 18,  to  John  Talbot.  The  latter  made  his  will  June  12, 
1  72  1,  which  was  proven  July  22,  172 1,  in  which  he  mentions  his  wife,  Mary 
(also  calls  her  Elizabeth),  and  children,  Mary,  Joseph,  Benjamin,  John, 
Elizabeth,  Sarah,  Rachel  and  one  unborn  (Hannah).  John  Turner  devised 
the  other  half  of  his  purchase  to  Benjamin  Talbot,  but  the  will  was  probably 
declared  void,  and  cannot  be  found.     Joseph  Talbot,  as  heir  at  law  of  John

Turner,  released  the  land  to  his  brother  Benjamin,  Apr.  26,  1734,  but  in 
1 741,  purchased  it  from  him,  having  previously  taken  the  land  of  his  father, 
and  thus  became  the  owner  of  all  the  Turner  tract.  He  also  purchased 
from  William  Hill  June  10,  1737,  98  acres  in  Middletown,  which  was  the 
same  that  had  been  cut  off  the  original  Sharpies  survey  as  overplus  land  ; 
and  this  he  conveyed,  Jan.  22,  1 741-2,  to  Edward  Grisell  (Griswold),  whose 
eldest  son  and  heir,  Thomas  Grisell,  conveyed  it  April  5,  1754,  to  Samuel 
Sharpies. 

Joseph  Talbot2  was  first  married  about  1732,  to  Hannah,  dau.  of 
Joseph  and  Mary  Baker  of  Thornbury.  Her  father  was  the  son  of  Joseph 
and  Mary  Baker  of  the  same  place,  and  her  mother  the  dau.  of  John  and 
Ann  (Maris)  Worrilow,  of  Edgmont.  Her  mother  had  married  a  second 
husband,  Dr.  John  Taylor,  who  purchased  and  settled  on  the  land  of  her 
first  husband,  being  430  acres,  and  who  established  iron  works  on  Chester 
Creek,  at  what  is  now  Glen  Mills.  In  1761,  Joseph  Talbot  and  all  of  his 
children  except  Margaret,  Mary  and  Martha,  who  were  then  married, 
became  members  of  Friends'  Meeting,  at  Middletown.  He  was  married 
there  5  mo.  8,  1761,  to  Lydia  Townsend,  widow  of  Joseph2,  and  dau.  of 
Francis  Reynolds,  and  a  third  time,  8  mo.  21,  1776,  at  Concord  Mtg.,  to 
Ann  Sharpies,  widow  of  Jacob  (No.  34),  and  dau.  of  Charles  and  Susanna 
Blakey.  His  residence  was  in  Aston  township  from  1773,  till  his  death  in 
1783.     His  children,  all  by  the  first  wife,  were — 

Margaret,  m.  Thomas  Grisell,  son  of  Edward,  of  Edgmont. 

Mary,  m.  Robert  Rogers  and  John  Brinton. 

Joseph,  m.  Hannah  Pennell,  1  mo.  13,  1762;  d.  7  mo.  22,  1807.

Susanna,  m.  Nathan  Pennell,  4  mo.  10,  1776,  and  d.  10  mo.  16,  1816. 


152.  Phebe  Sharpies4,  Samuel3,  b.  5  mo.  25,  1752  ;  d.  7  mo.  28, 
1826  ;  m.  6  mo.  6,  1782,  at  Middletown  Mtg.,  to  Peter  Smedley,  b.  1 
mo.  28,  1754;  d.  2  mo,  15,  1828;  son  of  William  and  Elizabeth  (Taylor) 
Smedley  of  Middletown.  They  received  a  certificate  to  Uwchlan  Mo.  Mtg., 
1 1  mo.  25,  1782,  and  settled  on  a  heavily  timbered  farm  which  he  purchased 
in  Uwchlan  township.     Here  he  started  the  coopering  business,  then  an 


LIXE  OF  SAMUELS,  JOSEPH'.  277 

important  industry,  and  which  he  continued,  in  connection  with  farming,  the 
rest  of  his  life.  To  the  former,  probably  more  than  to  the  latter,  he  was 
indebted  for  what  financial  success  he  had.  As  his  means  increased  he 
added  to  his  original  purchase  two  other  adjoining  tracts,  and  later,  a  tract 
of  1 50  acres  in  what  is  now  Upper  Uwchlan  ;  all  now  in  possession  of  his 
grandchildren  except  75  acres  of  the  last  tract,  owned  by  John  R.  Hoffman. 
Joseph  H.  Smedley  has  the  original  homestead  of  82  acres,  joined  on  the 
west  by  William  T.  Smedley,  and  next  to  the  latter  is  the  farm  of  Sharpless 
and  T.  C.  Smedley.     Peter  and  Phebe  had  nine  children :

The  log  house  in  which  William  Sharpies  was  born  was  torn  down  about  1802  ;  the  well 
belonging  thereto,  a  square  one,  is  under  the  porch  of  the  present  house,  and  unused.  He  was 
three  years  of  age  at  his  father's  death ;  received  a  good  education  for  those  times,  under 
Ralph  Forrester,  at  the  school  on  a  lot  at  the  N.  W.  corner  of  High  and  Gay  Streets.  His 
cyphering  book  is  preserved,  dated  "  1766,  nth  mo.  10th,  Goshen."  He  was  apprenticed  to 
John  Marshall  to  learn  cabinet  making,  on  a  small  farm  in  E.  Bradford,  which  his  mother 
received  from  her  father,  Joseph  Townsend.  Being  the  only  surviving  son  of  his  father,  he 
inherited  the  homestead  farm  at  the  age  of  2 1 .  He  married  and  built  a  small  log  shop  on  the 
Wilmington  road,  near  where  Dean  and  High  Streets  meet.  This  was  afterward  used  as  a 
dwelling,  but  torn  down  about  1819.  Here  he  carried  on  his  trade,  and  several  articles  of  his 
make  remain  in  the  family. 

It  would  appear  that  all  of  his  children  were  born  on  the  farm,  except  Ann,  who  was 
not  bom  till  after  he  had  purchased  the  house  on  High  Street. 

In  1789,  he  built  a  large  barn  with  stone,  stable  high,  and  frame  above,  which  was  the 
admiration  of  the  neighboring  farmers,  and  a  departure  from  the  old  style  of  log  barns.  This 
stood  partly  in  what  is  now  Church  Street,  and  where  Alfred  Sharples's  house  stands.  It  was 
moved  about  1845,  t0  a  'ot  **.  E.  of  Price  and  Darlington  Sts.,  and  afterward  burned  by 
lightning. 

William  Sharpies  sold  to  Joseph  McClellan,  90  acres,  being  all  that  he  owned  east  of  the 
Wilmington  road  ;  extending  from  thence  to  the  borough  line,  and  from  Union  to  Nields  St., 
for  %  1600.  In  1792,  he  bought  from  James  and  Hannah  Smith  a  messuage  and  lot  on  High 
St.,  opposite  the  Court  House,  for  §933.33,  on  which  it  would  appear  that  James  Smith  had 
built  the  north  house  between  1789,  and  1792.  William  Sharpies  built  the  south  end, 
including  the  entry,  which  he  used  as  a  store.  Since  the  Bank  of  Chester  County  was 
established  at  its  present  location,  this  old  house  has  been  remodeled  to  some  extent.  In  1794, 
the  room  or  rooms  over  the  store  were  rented  to  Jones,  Hoff  &  Derrick,  who  here  printed  the 
•'West  Chester  Gazette,"  beginning  1st  mo.  4th,  1794,  and  continuing  six  months.  It  is 
believed  this  was  the  first  printing  done  within  the  present  limits  of  Chester  County.  In 
1797,  the  "Literary  Museum"  was  published  in  the  same  rooms  for  six  months,  by  Philip 
Derrick  and  Nathan  Sharpies,  under  the  firm  name  of  Derrick  &  Sharpies ;  but  in  the  language 
of  the  late  Dr.  Darlington,  "both  enterprises  were  decidedly  premature,  and  consequently 
abortive.*' 

In  1795,  William  Sharpies  was  elected  a  member  of  the  "Pennsylvania  Society  for  the 
Abolition  of  Slavery."  In  1798,  the  rooms  over  the  store  were  added  to  the  dwelling.  In 
1799,  William  Jones  was  taken  into  partnership,  under  the  firm  name  of  Sharpies  &  Jones; 
the  merchandize  of  the  firm  being  then  valued  at  S1824.  Jones  remained  about  one  year,  at 
the  end  of  which  time  the  stock  was  valued  at  §1937.20. 

The  town  of  West  Chester  was  erected  into  a  borough  March  28,  1799,  and  William 
Sharpies  became  the  first  burgess;  being  also  reelected  in  1807,  and  181 1.  The  "West 
Chester  Fire  Company"  was  organized  in  1799,  with  William  Sharpies  at  its  head. 

In  1803,  9  mo.  17th,  the  contents  of  the  store  were  sold  to  Obadiah  Ketchum  and  David 
■-.  under  the  firm  name  of  Ketchum  &  Niess,  who  continued  until  March,  1804,  when  they

failed,  leaving  their  creditors  to  divide  a  considerable  loss,  and  the  store  again  fell  into  the 
hands  of  William  Sharpies. 

In  1S07,  William  Taylor  became  a  partner  in  the  store  (Sharpies  &  Taylor),  and 
continued  three  years,  when  he  withdrew,  as  it  is  said,  because  Win.  Sharpies  had  decided  to 
discontinue  the  sale  of  spirituous  liquors. 

In  1S15,  David  Townsend  had  charge  of  the  store,  and  remained  in  it  until  he  was 
offered  the  situation  of  Cashier  in  the  Bank  of  Chester  County. 

William  Sharpies  died  in  1817,  leaving  all  his  real  estate  to  his  son  Nathan,  subject  to  the 
life  estate  of  his  mother  and  legacies  to  all  of  his  sisters.  The  store  was  continued  for  a  time 
under  the  firm  name  of  Nathan  Sharpies  &  Co.,  the  other  being  his  sister  Hannah.  She 
marrying  Isaac  Rogers  soon  after,  the  merchandize  was  sold  to  John  W.  Townsend  and 
Passmore  Hoopes,  who  removed  it  a  few  doors  further  north,  and  the  house  and  lot  were  sold 
to  the  Bank  of  Chester  County.  Ann  Sharpies,  widow  of  William,  remained  in  the  house 
some  time  after  the  sale. 

William  Sharpies  was  in  West  Chester  a  prominent  man  in  his  day ;  he  was  frequently 
employed  as  attorney  in  fact,  trustee,  executor  or  guardian.  Various  were  the  trusts  from  time 
to  time  placed  in  his  charge  for  care  or  adjustment. — Extract  from  Memoir  by  P.  P.  S.

SPRINGFIELD  MEETING. 


It  appears  that  a  meeting  had  been  held  prior  to  16S6  at  the  house  of 
Bartholomew  Coppock  (see  page  133),  though  which  of  the  two  persons  of

disowned  3  mo.  6,  1 799,  for  the  same  offence ;  yet  the  family  were 
afterward  received  into  membership  with  Friends.  He  was  a  stout  farmer 
who  drove  his  business  with  energy  and  his  domestic  affairs  with  economy, 
which  resulted  in  the  acquisition  of  considerable  real  estate.  He  was 
especially  remembered  for  having  raised  eighty  bushels  of  cloverseed  in 
one  season,  which  he  sold  for  twenty  dollars  per  bushel,  about  the  time  of 
the  Revolution.  By  deed  of  Jan.  16,  1789,  he  purchased  from  Nicholas 
Fairlamb  and  wife,  Hannah,  a  farm  of  250  acres  in  Middletown,  for  ^714, 
in  gold  and  silver.  May  11,  1790,  he  obtained  from  Joseph  Hunt  of 
Goshen,  and  wife  Ann,  201^  acres  in  Goshen,  for  ^1400  in  gold,  at 
which  time  he  lived  in  Concord,  near  the  meeting  house,  on  land  of 
Thomas  Newlin.  Samuel  Moore  of  Wilmington,  and  Jemima,  his  wife, 
by  deed  of  Jan.  30,  1792,  conveyed  to  John  Sharpies,  of  Concord,  miller, 
95  acres  in  Goshen.  In  1802,  he  bought  the  farm  of  200  acres  upon 
which  he  had  lived  in  Concord,  from  Thomas  Newlin,  for  ^3875,  and  sold  the 
one  in  Middletown  to  Jonathan  Tyson,  for  ^2000.  In  1803,  he  purchased 
40^  acres  in  E.  Goshen,  from  Richard  R.  Smith,  and  wife,  of  Philadelphia  ; 
and  by  deed  of  Mar.  30,  1810,  obtained  from  Anthony  Hearn,  of  Goshen, 
and  Sarah  his  wife,  a  tract  of  nearly  336  acres  in  the  same  township,  for 
S2o,ooo.  It  is  said  that  he  also  owned  a  farm  in  the  Chester  Yalley,  and 
upon  these  lands  he  placed  his  children  as  they  married.  His  children  by 
both  wives  were  twelve  in  number :

Feb.  23,  1702-3,  he  purchased  500  acres  of  land  in  East  Cain  township

Nathan  Sharpies  learned  the  trade  of  a  saddler,  and  by  deed  of  5  mo. 
x>  1 775.  purchased  from  Charles  Ryant  and  Hannah,  his  wife,  32  acres  of 
land  in  East- Bradford  for  ^216.  On  5  mo.  6,  1784,  Henry  Woodward, 
Senior,  and  Henry  Woodward,  Jr.,  with  Ruth  his  wife,  conveyed  to  Nathan 
32  acres  adjoining  the  first  purchase,  for  ,£2 11  14,  in  gold.  These  were 
two  tracts  which  Joseph  Townsend  had  devised  to  his  daughters,  Mary 
Woodward  and  Hannah  Ryant,  and  lie  just  west  of  the  borough  of 
West  Chester,  and  north  of  Chestnut  Street,  extended.  It  is,  with  some 
additions,  owned  by  Charles  Sheller.  Here  he  lived  at  the  time  of  the 
Battle  of  Brandywine,  9  mo.  1 1,  1777.  For  some  time  prior  to  that  event, 
the  Friends'  meeting-house  at  Birmingham  was  occupied  as  a  hospital  for 
American  soldiers,  and  a  substitute  was  found  in  a  wheelwright  shop  at 
Sconnelltown,  on  the  road  from  Jefferis's  Ford  to  Birmingham.  By  this 
road  the  British  army  marched  to  meet  the  Americans  on  the  morning  of  a 
mid-week  meeting,  the  day  of  the  battle,  and  the  meeting  was  prematurely 
adjourned  by  the  resulting  excitement.  Nathan  Sharpies  discovered  when 
about  to  return  home,  that  a  fine  horse,  upon  which  he  had  ridden  to

which  had  been  appropriated  to  his  own  use  by  a  British  officer  with  whom 
he  quietly  but  firmly  remonstrated,  and  at  length  prevailed  upon  to  give 
up  the  steed. 

In  1793.  Nathan  removed  with  his  family  to  the  farm  of  his  fatherdn- 
law,  one  mile  east  of  Downingtown,  on  the  Lancaster  turnpike.  On  8  mo. 
9,  1794,  he  conveyed  the  property  near  West  Chester  to  John  Bettle,  for 
,£653:10;  and  on  1  mo.  30,  1794,  Joshua  Baldwin  and  Ann,  his  wife, 
conveyed  to  him  their  farm  of  177  acres,  for  ^1660,  gold  and  silver.     Here

he  resided  the  remainder  of  his  life.  His  death  being  the  result  of  injuries 
received  from  an  accident,  it  is  probable  he  might  have  lived  to  a  greater 
age,  as  he  possessed  a  remarkably  vigorous  constitution.  He  served  as 
clerk  of  Uwchlan  Monthly  Meeting,  from  i  mo.  7,  1S02,  till  12  mo.  8,  1803, 
and  his  wife  was  appointed  an  elder,  4  mo.  7,  1796.  Both  were  buried  at 
the  Friends'  burial  ground  in  Downingtown.     They  had  nine  children  :

Extract  from  a  letter,  stating  a  few  of  the  last  expressions  of  Joseph 
Sharpies,  son  of  Jacob  and  Ann  Sharpies ;  who  departed  this  life  in 
Philadelphia,  in  the  nth  month.  IJ96,  in  the  joth  year  of  his  age. 

I  expect  thou  hast  heard  of  the  death  of  cousin  Joseph,  and  no  doubt,  would  like  to  be 
informed  of  his  situation  of  mind,  in  the  latter  part  of  his  sickness ;  of  which  I  can  give  some 
account,  as  I  had  the  satisfaction  of  being  with  him  mostly  for  a  week  before  he  died,  and  was 
present  at  the  awful  season  of  his  departure.  I  felt  so  much  tenderness  for,  and  sympathy  with 
him,  after  my  first  visit,  that  I  could  not  be  easy  out  of  his  chamber. 

He  was  much  tossed  in  mind,  in  the  forepart  of  his  sickness.  His  brother  Nathan,  upon 
leaving  him,  perhaps  about  two  weeks  before  his  death,  expressed  to  him,  that  he  thought  there 
was  but  little  prospect  of  his  recovery;  to  which  he  replied,  "  O,  if  I  could  but  feel  the 
incomes  of  the  love  of  God  to  my  poor  soul !"  Which  I  believe  he  was  mercifully  favoured 
to  experience.  Some  time  before  his  departure,  one  morning,  as  I  was  sitting  by  him,  he  said  ; 
"  whether  it  will  please  the  Lord  to  raise  me  up  again,  I  know  not :  I  am  entirely  depending 
on  his  mercy  ;  but  if  it  is  his  will  to  take  me,  I  hope  he  will  receive  my  soul."  A  few  evenings 
before  his  departure,  he  desired  to  see  a  friend,  who  had  been  to  see  him  several  times :  he 
came,  and  had  a  solid  opportunity  with  him :  it  was  truly  a  solemn,  instructive  season.  The 
friend  had  much  pertinent  counsel  to  communicate,  which  was  very  comfortable  and 
encouraging.  Upon  the  friend's  taking  leave  of  him,  he  said,  "farewell,  dear  friend,  I  shall 
go  before  long."  The  friend  desired,  if  he  had  any  thing  on  his  mind,  he  would  be  free  in 
communicating  it ;  he  said,  "  I  have  nothing,  only  that  I  have  waited  patiently,  and  have  not 
dared  to  cast  away  my  confidence,  but  have  trusted  in  his  many  gracious  promises,  and  hope 
he  will  receive  my  soul."  His  example  of  patience  and  resignation,  was  truly  instructive  to 
my  mind,  and  I  hope  will  be  lastingly  remembered  by  me."         [First  edition,  p.  116.]

born  at  Hilsbach,  Germany,  1696,  and  arrived  in  Philadelphia  Sept.  17,

Richard,  Margaret.  Katherine.  Joshua,  Rebecca.  Sarah,  and  Caspar,  b. 
Feb.  3.  1740. 

In  1 771,  Abraham  Sharpies  is  described  as  of  Concord,  joiner,  at 
which  time  he  joined  with  Robert  Hall  of  Concord,  Innkeeper,  in  the 
purchase  of  131  acres  of  land  in  Aston.  There  was  then,  or  soon  after,  a 
grist  mill  on  the  property;  and  in  1775.  they  are  both  of  Aston,  and 
millers.  Not  long-  after  this  he  became  interested  in  the  manufacture  of 
iron,  at  Sarum  Forge,  in  Aston  (now  Thornbury).  in  partnership  with 
Norris  Jones  ;  afterward  with  Isaac  Lloyd,  and  later  with  Francis  Wisely. 
From  1810,  till  his  death,  he  conducted  a  rolling  and  slitting  mill  ;  and 
also,  for  the  greater  part  of  the  time,  a  grist  mill  and  saw  mill.  In  this 
business  he  acquired  a  considerable  estate.  In  1836,  the  property  was 
purchased  by  James  M.  Wilcox  and  the  making  of  paper  substituted  for 
that  of  iron.  The  works  have  since  been  known  by  the  name  of  Glen  Mills. 
Abraham  Sharpies  had  six  children  : 

856.  Rachel  V.,  b.  6  mo.  22,  1786;  d.  8  mo.  22,  1858;  m.  George  G.  Ashbridge.

century  ago,  Andrew  Job  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  from  Kent,  Eng., 
arrived  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  about  1650,  having  a  son,  Andrew,  born  to 
them  on  ship  board.  The  latter  makes  his  appearance  at  Chester,  Pa.,  in

authorities,  in  1754,  in  New  Castle  Co.,  Del.,  whence  he  removed  with  his 
parents  to  Cumberland  Co.,  N.  J.,  where  he  studied  law.  He  was  one  of 
forty  persons  disguised  as  Indians,  who  in  1774,  took  the  cargo  of  tea 
which  had  been  imported  in  the  Greyhound  from  its  place  of  storage  in 
Greenwich,  and  burned  it  in  a  field.  In  1775  he  was  appointed  captain  of 
the  5th  company  in  the  2nd  battalion  of  the  "Jersey  Line,"  wintered  in  the 


1 


LINE  OF  ANN'S,  JOHN:  325 

Highlands  of  the  Hudson,  and  participated  in  the  unsuccessful  expedition 
to  Canada  the  following  spring.  In  September,  1776,  he  was  made  brigade 
major,  and  in  1777  took  part  in  the  battles  of  Brandywine  and  German- 
town.  During  the  winter  of  1777-8,  he  was  mostly  with  the  army  at  Valley 
Forge,  the  scene  of  much  privation  and  suffering.  On  June  28,  1778,  the 
Battle  of  Monmouth  was  fought,  and  although  he  had  obtained  leave  of 
absence  to  visit  his  twin  brother,  Lewis  Howell,  then  lying  at  the  point  of 
death,  at  the  Black  Horse  tavern,  between  Trenton  and  Bordentown  ;  yet 
fearing  his  absence  would  be  charged  to  cowardice,  he  threw  himself  into 
the  fight,  and  never  saw  his  brother  again  alive.  For  this  act  he  was 
reprimanded  by  Washington,  who  told  him  he  should  have  gone  to  his 
brother.     In  1780,  he  was  appointed  major  of  the    Second  Regiment. 

In  1788,  he  was  appointed  clerk  of  the  Supreme  Court,  in  which 
position  he  continued  till  June,  1793,  when  he  was  chosen  governor  of 
the  State.  To  this  office  he  was  re-elected  eight  times  consecutively.  At 
the  time  of  the  "Whiskey  Insurrection,"  in  western  Penna.,  1794,  he 
marched  with  the  New  Jersey  troops,  as  commander  of  the  "Jersey  Blues," 
and  by  his  example  and  vivacity  encouraged  them  in  their  toilsome  journey. 
Fortunately  the  rioters  disbanded  without  an  appeal  to  arms. 

Some  of  his  letters,  written  during  his  revolutionary  campaigns,  have 
been  preserved,-  as  also  some  specimens  of  his  poetry,  of  which  he  was  an 
occasional  writer.  In  private  life  he  was  a  model  of  deportment  and 
careful  to  uphold  the  character  of  a  gentleman.  In  a  little  work  containing 
brief  biographies  of  the  governors  of  New  Jersey,  there  is  a  pretended 
portrait  of  Gov.  Howell,  and  underneath,  these  lines  : 

"Howell,  for  social  virtues  famed  afar, 
Shone  in  the  ranks  and  urged  the  dreadful  war  : 
His  graceful  form  expressed  a  noble  mind, 
The  soul  of  Honor,  Friend  of  human  kind." 

He  married  at  Mt.  Holly,  Keziah,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Mary  Burr, 
who  survived  him  many  years  and  died  at  her  son-in-law,  Dr.  Agnew's,  in 
Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  Aug.  9,  1835.  He  died  Apr.  28,  1802,  at  Trenton.  For 
the  most  of  these  facts  we  are  indebted  to  a  "  Centennial  Sketch,"  by  his 
grandson,  Daniel  Agnew,  late  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Penna.,  1876. 
They  had  eight  children, — 

1302.  Charles,  went  to  Mississippi  early  in  this  century,  and  married  two  wives  by  the 

name  of  Green.     No  further  record.

342.  Lewis  Howell,  twin  with  Richard,  was  a  surgeon  in  the 
army  of  the  Revolution,  and  died  unmarried  about  6,  28,  1778.  One 
account  states  that  he  was  in  the  Battle  of  Brandywine  and  while  attending 
to  the  wounded  found  himself  within  the  English  lines.  Watching-  his 
opportunity  he  darted  into  a  woods  and  though  a  ball  passed  through  his 
hat  he  escaped.     Two  days  after  the  battle  he  wrote  thus  : 

Dear  Father  : — I  am  happy  in  being  able  to  inform  you  that  I  still  exist,  and  am  not  a 
prisoner — a  state  I  thought  from  my  situation  unavoidable.  On  Thursday,  nth  September, 
we  were  alarmed  by  three  guns,  and  every  man  stood  to  his  post,  about  thirty  minutes  afterward 
a  firing  of  small  arms  was  heard,  which  proved  to  be  a  party  of  light  troops  under  General 
Maxwell,  who  repulsed  the  advance  party  in  three  several  attempts,  killing  many  with  little  loss. 
Captain  Cummins  in  this  action  distinguished  himself.  After  this  there  was  a  continual 
cannonade,  from  a  battery  erected  by  us,  to  defend  the  ford  over  the  Brandywine,  'till  near 
four  o'clock,  when  Lord  Sterlings  division  was  ordered  about  two  miles  to  the  right  from  the 
first  situation,  to  oppose  Lord  Cornwallis,  who  had  crossed  about  that  distance  higher  up.  We 
had  been  there  but  a  short  time  when  they  appeared,  and  the  heaviest  firing  I  ever  heard 
began,  continuing  a  long  time,  every  inch  of  ground  being  disputed.  Our  people  at  last  gave 
way,  not  being  supported,  with  the  loss  of  very  few — wounded  and  killed  not  exceeding 
twelve.  At  the  same  time  we  were  attacked  on  the  right,  another  attack  was  made  on  the  left, 
where  our  people  fought  them,  retreating  in  good  order.  Colonel  Shreve,  in  that  action  was 
wounded  in  the  thigh,  but  not  mortally.  Captain  Stout  was  killed,  and  one  sergeant.  These 
are  the  only  killed  in  our  regiment.  I  shall  inform  you  of  my  escape  from  the  enemy,  after 
having  been  among  them,  with  the  loss  of  my  mare,  saddle  and  bridle,  and  great  coat  and 
hat.  With  all  my  misfortunes  I  think  myself  happy  not  to  be  taken  prisoner.  Richard  is 
hearty  and  safe,  though  in  the  midst  of  danger.

328  THE  SHARP  LESS  FAMILY.

settled  in  Rhode  Island,  whence  he  removed  about  1684-5,  to  a  place

daughter,  Susan  J.  Bowen  : 

Cohansey,  Cumberland  County.  West  New  Jersey,  September  the  thirteenth,  in  the  year 
of  our  Lord  one  thousand  Eight  hundred  and  seven  : 

This  may  certify  to  all  people,  whome  it  may  concern,  that  Brother  John  Davis,  a 
member  of  the  Sabatarian  Baptist  Church  of  Christ  in  this  place,  was  Chosen  by  said  Church 
to  the  office  of  an  Elder  or  Evangelist,  and  he  was  Ordained  to  said  office  by  Solemn  Prayer 
and  the  laying  on  of  hands  by  the  Elders  of  the  Sabatarian  Baptist  profession,  and  by  them 
fully  authorized  to  administer  all  the  Ordinances  of  the  Gospel  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  in  all 
places  where  he  may  be  duly  called  thereto  :  which  was  done  and  performed  in  this  place  and 
in  this  Church,  the  day  and  date  above.

Elder  John  Davis,  as  he  was  familiarly  called,  continued  to  be  the 
pastor  of  the  Shiloh  Church  until  1841,  when  he  resigned  on  account  of 
his  growing  infirmity,  which  rendered  talking,  at  times,  difficult  for  him. 
During  the  first  year  of  his  ministry  he  baptized  and  received  into  the 
fellowship  of  the  church,  about  seventy  persons.  His  congregation  was 
always  large  and  he  labored  earnestly  for  their  benefit.  His  sermons  were 
generally  extemporaneous,  notes  being  seldom  used,  and  never  more  than 
a  brief  outline.  He  was  usually  slow  and  deliberate  in  speaking,  and  very 
careful  what  he  said.  In  181 1,  he  assisted  in  the  organization  of  the  Salem 
County  (now  Marlborough)  Church,  which  was  set  off  from  the  Shiloh 
Church;  and  in  1821,  he  performed  a  missionary  tour,  by  appointment  of 
the  missionary  society,  to  the  churches  in  the  western  part  of  Pennsylvania, 
Virginia,  Ohio  and  Indiana,  traveling  over  eighteen  hundred  miles  on 
horseback.  In  Elder  Davis's  early  days  he  preached  in  distant 
neighborhoods  and  settlements,  especially  on  funeral  occasions  ;  and  in  the 
pulpits  of  his  neighboring  ministering  brethren  he  was  always  welcome, 
being  esteemed  a  good  man,  sound  in  doctrine,  upright  in  his  deportment 
and  an  example  in  good  works.

discipline,  for  which  he  made  an  acknowledgment;  but  on  11,  27,  17S0,  it

358  THE  SHARTLESS  FAMILY. 

Isaac  Weaver  was  educated  in  Philadelphia  and  while  a  young  man 
taught  school  for  several  years ;  his  first  wife  being  one  of  his  pupils.  He 
received  a  good  education  for  that  day,  and  was  a  very  fine  penman.  In 
person  he  was  large,  being  six  feet,  four  inches,  in  height,  and  weighing 
about  240  pounds.  He  possessed  great  physical  strength,  was  very  erect, 
and  in  appearance  handsome,  stately  and  dignified.  He  was  complained 
of  by  Chester  Meeting,  7,  28,  1783,  for  marriage  by  a  priest  to  one  not  a 
member;  for  which  he  at  length  made  the  following  acknowledgment,, 
which  was  accepted  : 

To  Chester  Monthly  Meeting  : 

Whereas  I,  the  subscriber,  having  had  a  Birth  and  Education  among  Friends,  but  not 
having  sufficient  Regard  to  the  Manifestations  of  Grace  in  my  own  Heart,  have  at  Times 
deviated  from  their  known  Principles,  and  at  length  thro'  Levity  proceeded  so  far  as  to 
accomplish  my  Marriage  by  the  assistance  of  a  hireling  Ministry  ;  thereby  bringing  Trouble 
on  myself  and  Friends  ;  for  which  I  am  sorry,  and  desire  them  to  pass  by  my  Deviations,  and 
continue  me  under  their  Care,  as  my  future  Conduct  may  deserve. 

Isaac  Weaver,  Junr. 
3  mo.  26th,  17S4. 

From  somewhat  conflicting  statements  it  would  appear  that  he  was 
married  in  Cecil  Co.,  Md.  He  received  a  certificate  from  Chester  Mo. 
Mtg.,  10,  25,  1784,  to  Philadelphia,  from  which  place  it  is  said  he  removed 
to  Muddy  Creek,  Greene  Co.,  Pa.,  prior  to  1800;  thence  to  Lancaster, 
again  to  Muddy  Creek,  and  lastly  to  Castile,  where  he  died.  Though 
disowned  by  Friends  for  mustering  in  the  militia,  he  adhered  to  their 
principles  in  general,  and  used  the  plain  language  in  his  family.  He  was  a 
man  of  unswerving  integrity  and  served  in  both  houses  of  the  State 
legislature.  In  1800,  he  was  Speaker  of  the  Assembly;  in  1802,  State 
Treasurer,  and  carried  money  from  Lancaster  to  Washington  City  on 
horseback,  filling  the  office  with  credit  to  himself  and  honor  to  the 
State.  He  was  four  times  elected  Senator  from  the  district  composed  of 
Washington  and  Greene  counties,  to-wit,  1806,  18 12,  181 6  and  1820,  and 
in  18 1 7,  was  Speaker  of  the  Senate.  He  owned  a  farm,  but  being  much 
engaged  in  public  affairs  he  left  it  to  the  management  of  his  sons.  At  one 
time  he  was  nominated  for  governor,  but  his  advancing  years,  ill  health, 
and  finally  death,  cut  off  his  further  public  career.  For  the  descendants  of 
Thomas  Dell  Weaver  and  his  brother  Isaac,  we  are  indebted  to  T.  M. 
Potts,  editor  of  the  Canonsburg  Herald,  and  an  experienced  genealogist.

appears  to  have  been  a  jrth-day  Baptist  and  meetings  were  held  at  her 
house  about  1770,  but  she  removed  to  Chester  before  her  death,  which

near  the  line  between  La  Salle  and  Kendall  counties,  on  Fox  River.  A 
part  of  his  farm  lay  in  each  county.  He  and  his  brother  built  a  grist  mill

grist  and  saw  mills,  with  150  acres  of  land  which  his  father  had  purchased 
in  1  75$.  The  house,  built  1  742,  is  in  good  condition,  being  the  residence 
of  the  late  Thomas  M.  Harvey.  By  deed  of  5,  22,  1777,  Jesse  Martin,  of 
Westmoreland  Co.,  conveyed  to  Samuel  Jackson,  of  Londongrove,  for 
,£200,  a  tract  of  300  acres  at  the  mouth  of  Redstone  Creek,  known  as 
"  Martin's  Folly,"  now  in  Jefferson  township,  Fayette  Co.,  Pa.  Just  when 
they  removed  from  Chester  Co.  is  not  clear,  but  on  9,  1,  17S1,  they 
requested  a  certificate  for  themselves  and  children,  John,  Joseph,  Nathan 
and  Susanna,  from  New  Garden  Mo.  Mtg.,  to  Hopewell,  Ya.,  the  nearest 
monthly  meeting  to  their  residence.  A  committee  was  appointed  "to  take 
an  opportunity  with  him  respecting  the  manner  &  motives  of  his  engaging 
in  such  an  undertaking,"  and  the  report  being  satisfactory  a  certificate  was 
signed  10,  6,  1781.  The  erection  of  a  paper  mill  by  Samuel  Jackson  and 
lonathan  Sharpless  has  been  mentioned  (p.  248),  and  the  history  of  Fayette

1591.)    A    brief   testimony   concerning    Edith    Sharpies,    daughter   of 
Benjamin  and  Hannah  Sharpies,   of  Philadelphia  (dcc'd);    who  departed 
this  life  at  Jl'ilminglon,  Del.,  on  the  nth  of  jth  month,  i/Sg ;    in  the  25th 
year  of  her  age. 

She  was  born  on  the  13th  of  9th  month,  1764  ;  and  was  their  eldest  daughter,  to  whom 
her  father,  when  on  his  death-bed,  said  ;  "  my  dear,  I  have  loved  thee,  for  thy  obedience  to 
me,  and  tenderness  towards  me  ;  and  for  thy  sobriety  in  life  ;  which  I  hope  thou  wilt  continue 
in." 

She  was  one  of  those  dedicated  children,  who  are  made  willing  to  count  all  things 
appertaining  to  earth,  but  as  dross,  that  they  might  win  Christ  ;  and  have  an  inheritance  with 
him,  in  the  mansions  of  the  blessed. 

Her  pilgrimage  was  short,  but  well  improved  ;  her  chief  concern  having  been,  to  live 
the  life  of  the  righteous,  that  her  latter  end  might  be  like  unto  theirs.  Dear  young  people 
who  may  read  this  short  testimony  concerning  your  cotemporary  in  age ;  and  one  who 
"preferred  Jerusalem  as  her  chiefest  joy ;" — "Do  ye  likewise,"  that  your  end  may  be  like 
hers  ;  peaceful  and  happy  ;  with  a  clear  prospect  of  a  joyful  eternity.  What  else  is  worth 
living  for  ? 

Her  death  was  occasioned  by  a  decay,  which  proceeded  from  a  cold  :  and,  as  is  common 
in  that  disorder,  she  was  several  months  declining,  though  but  a  very  short  time  confined  to 
bed  ;  and  at  last,  went  off  like  the  snuff  of  a  candle,  sudden  and  easy:  so  much  so,  that  (as  I 
understood)  she  departed  early  in  the  morning,  while  the  family  were  all  out  of  the  room  ; 
they  having  no  prospect  of  her  end  being  so  near.  Just  as  the  sun  arose  this  bright  star 
disappeared. 


390  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

How  different  is  this,  from  the  end  of  those  who  have  spent  a  life  in  folly  or  wickedness, 
and  at  the  end  thereof,  lie  down  in  sorrow  and  misery,  and  wet  their  death  bed  with  tears  of 
anguish  ;   "finding  no  place  of  repentance,  though  they  seek  it  with  tears."

N.  J.  His  granddaughter  says  that  he  kept  a  store  in  Burlington,  N.  J., 
for  a  few  years,  and  afterward  in  Philadelphia  :  was  a  dealer  in  china  ;  also 
book  agent  and  publisher,  and  author  of  Family  Record  of  1816.  He  and 
his  wife,  a  minister  among  Friends,  were  noted  for  their  pure  and  guileless 
characters  and  lives  of  moral  worth  and  excellence.  Active  in  their 
sympathies  with  the  oppressed,  the  anti-slavery  movement  was  strongly 
espoused  by  them,  and  their  house  at  one  time  gave  shelter  from  the 
mob  to  William  Lloyd  Garrison. 

Mary  D.  Sharpless,  aged  84,  says  that  her  uncle  Joseph  "  was  a  good 
man  and  beloved  by  his  family  and  friends  ;  quiet  and  unobtrusive  in  his 
manners  ;  a  kind  husband  and  father, — by  occupation  a  bookbinder.  He 
was  very  energetic  in  getting  materials   for  the   family  record.     This  he

found  laborious  and  in  some  respects  annoying.  He  was  very  desirous  of 
obtaining  a  knowledge  of  the  trade  and  calling  of  persons  with  whom  he 
communicated  (on  account  of  the  work),  but  this  was  objected  to  by  many, 
therefore  he  gave  it  up." 

He  was  the  author  and  publisher  of  "  The  Story  |  of  |  Joseph  |  and 
his  Brethren,  |  set  forth  in  |  A  pleasing  and  instructive  manner ;  |  and

and  to  it  was  appended  "Patient  Joe;  or  the  New  Castle  Collier,"  in  verse;

In  1830,  Joseph  Sharpless  had  a  china  store  at  No.  15  N.  4th  street.

Some  account  of  the  death  of  John  Ferris,  son  of  Ziba  and  Edith 
Ferris,  of  Wilmington,  Delaware ;  who  departed  this  life  on  the  first  of  the 
nth  month,  1802,  in  the  2jlh  year  of  his  age. 

In  the  year  1802,  when  the  yellow  fever  prevailed  in  Wilmington,  John  was  appointed 
one  of  the  Board  of  Health :  which  station  he  filled  with  diligence,  and  strict  attention  to  the 
necessities  of  the  sufferers  ;  not  counting  his  own  life  dear  unto  him,  that  he  might  relieve  the 
afflicted,  and  administer  comfort  to  the  distressed.  He  continued  with  unwearied  diligence, 
visiting  the  sick  and  relieving  them  as  far  as  he  was  capable,  till  the  raging  pestilence  abated, 
and  the  recovery  of  the  sick,  denoted  a  speedy  termination  to  their  sufferings ;  and  those  who 
were  still  preserved  in  health,  might  reasonably  conclude  the  danger  over,  and  they  were  safe. 
Not  so  with  John: — Just  at  this  pleasing  juncture,  he  was  seized  with  that  disorder  from  which 
he  had  endeavoured  to  relieve  others  ;  and  died,  we  have  reason  to  hope,  the  death  of  the 
righteous  ;  and  that  his  latter  end  was  like  unto  theirs.  Having  laboured,  day  and  night,  as 
with  his  life  in  his  hand,  for  the  relief  of  others,  he  was  thereby  preparing  himself  for  the 
harvest  of  the  Lord  ;  and  was  cut  down  at  the  end  thereof,  as  a  sheaf  fully  ripe  ;  and  like  the 
pure  wheat,  was  no  doubt,  gathered  into  the  heavenly  garner  while  the  tares  were  gathered 
together  to  be  burned.

The  following  tribute  to  the  memory  of  that  virtuous  young  man,  Joint 
Ferris,  was  written  soon  after  his  death,  by  those  who  knew  his  worth;  and 
published  in  a  public  paper. 

Wilmington,  Del.,  nth  Month  1802. 
DIED,  on  the  1st  instant,   John   Ferris,  of  this  borough.     A  most  unexceptionable 

character,  his  temper  mild  and  conciliating.  He  was  a  most  worthy  citizen,  and  useful 
member  of  society,  which  lias  sustained  a  serious  loss  in  his  death.  He  fell  a  sacrifice  to  his 
Indefatigable  exertions  to  administer  comfort  to  the  sick,  &c.  during  the  late  mortality.  The 
Board  of  Health  have  entered  on  their  minutes  the  following  just  tribute  to  his  memory  : 

"Sensible  of  the  loss  which  the  citizens  of  this  place  in  general  and  this  Board  in 
particular,  have  sustained  in  the  death  of  our  worthy  fellow  labourer,  John  Ferris,  jun.,  who 
left  this  transitory,  for,  we  hope,  a  happier  state  of  existence,  seven  minutes  before  3  o'clock 
this  afternoon.  We  conceive  it  to  be  our  duty,  and  we  are  impelled  by  our  feelings,  to  insert 
on  our  minutes,  a  record  of  his  extraordinary  services  ;  the  prevalence  of  the  yellow  fever  of 
179S,  first  made  us  acquainted  with  his  efforts  and  disposition  to  relieve  the  afflicted  ;  but  the 
present  year  has  more  intimately  informed  us  of  his  usefulness.  As  soon  as  the  disease 
appeared,  which  has  made  such  ravages  among  our  citizens,  and  consigned  eighty-two  of  them 
to  their  silent  graves,  he  commenced  his  arduous  services  ;  and  during  its  continuance  did  not 
for  a  single  day,  intermit  his  attention  to  the  sick,  the  dying,  and  the  dead.  The  first 
mentioned,  he  wis  in  the  constant  practice  of  visiting  twice  a  day — he  took  upon  himself  the 
( are  of  the  funerals  of  the  latter.  When,  after  having  performed  a  serious  tour  of  duty  ;  a 
duty  enjoined  by  his  commiseration  for  the  distressed,  and  anxiety  for  their  relief;  he  fell,  a 
victim,  a  late  sacrifice  to  his  exertions,  for  the  happiness  of  others,  and  left  on  the  hearts  of 
his  fellow  citizens,  a  grateful  remembrance  of  his  labours,  and  his  virtues."

Benjamin  Ferris  was  a  person  of  remarkably  vigorous  intellect  and 
his  pen  was  frequently  employed  to  disseminate  his  ideas,  or  to  preserve  a 
record  of  interesting  facts.  He  was  the  author  of  A  History  of  the  Original 
Settlements  on  tlic  Delaware,  including  a  history  of  Wilmington,  1846;  a 
work  of  much  merit.  In  1S21-2,  under  the  name  of  "Amicus,"  he 
engaged  in  a  religious  controversy  with  Rev.  Dr.  Gilbert  ("Paul"),  in  a 
series  of  letters  published  in  the  Christian  Repository.  These  were 
afterward  published  in  a  volume  of  over  five  hundred  pages,  with  the  title, 
Letters  of  Paid  and  Amiens.  In  early  life  he  went  to  Philadelphia  and 
learned  the  trade  of  watchmaking  with  the  celebrated  Thomas  Parker,  at 
No.  20  N.  2nd  St.  Returning  to  Wilmington  he  adopted  the  profession 
of  a  conveyancer,  from  which  he  retired  with  a  competency,  to  enjoy  his 
literary  labors. 

A  Tribute  : — The  announcement  of  the  departure  of  our  dear  friend,  Benjamin  Ferris, 
has  already  been  made  in  these  columns,  but  his  numerous  and  widely  extended  circle  of 
friends  will  feel  that  something  more  is  due  to  the  memory  of  such  a  man.  A  rare  and  gifted 
spirit  has  passed  from  amongst  us,  and  entered  upon  the  higher  life.  His  wonderful 
conversational  powers  adapted  themselves  with  remarkable  versatility  to  all  ages  and  capacities; 
and  all  who  knew  him  can  recall  the  many  times  in  which  they  have  seen  hint  the  centre  of  an 
admiring  and  listening  group,  while  he  poured  forth  the  stores  of  his  abounding  treasury  for 
their  interest  and  instruction.  He  was  a  connecting  link  between  the  present  generation  and 
the  past,  his  retentive  memory  and  power  of  representation  enabling  him,  from  an  inexhaustible 
fund  of  anecdote  and  illustration,  to  give  life  like  pictures  of  the  character  and  manners  of 
those  who  have  long  passed  away. 


LINE   OF  BENJAMJN3,  JOSF.ni>.  395 

He  was  a  beautiful  example  of  the  cheerful  Christian,  and  his  high  gifts,  employed  in 
the  right  direction,  made  pleasant  and  attractive  the  lessons  they  conveyed.  His  able  pen 
w  i^  often  employed  as  the  earnest  advocate  of  the  spirituality  of  the  Christian  faith,  and  in 
defence  of  our  testimonies  ;  and  his  essays  on  these  subjects  were  acknowledged  to  have 
unusual  force  and  ability.  He  filled  many  positions  of  usefulness  during  his  long  life.  His 
sympathies  were  enlisted  on  behalf  of  the  poor  Indians  (especially  the  tribes  in  the  State  of 
New  York  |,  and  by  advocating  their  cause  with  those  in  authority,  he  was  instrumental  in 
redressing  their  wrongs,  and  in  promoting  their  welfare  and  advancement  to  a  higher  grade  of 
civilization.  But  the  most  impressive  lessons  gained  from  his  example  were  in  the  last  twelve 
years  of  his  life.  When  suddenly  deprived  of  the  powers  that  had  contributed  so  largely  to 
his  own  and  others'  enjoyment,  and  which  had  so  peculiarly  distinguished  him,  although  fully 
conscious  of  the  loss,  he  bowed  in  cheerful  acquiescence  to  the  Divine  will ;  and  the  strong 
gifted  man,  laying  down  strength  and  gifts,  entered,  while  on  earth,  into  the  heaven  of  love. 
Many  can  hear  witness,  that  however  great  was  the  enjoyment  of  his  society  in  the  day  of  his 
intellectual  power,  far  greater,  in  these  latter  days,  was  the  charm  of  the  sweetness  of  his 
spirit,  and  the  love  which  seemed  to  embrace  the  whole  human  family  ;  and  all  who  came 
within  his  influence  were  made  to  feel  how  blessed  are  they  who,  in  their  evening  twilight,  are 
permitted  to  see  the  arising  of  the  brightness  of  the  future  day. 

While  we  deeply  feel  the  absence  of  one  so  long  loved  and  honored,  we  must  also 
rejoice  that  the  burden  of  weakness  and  weariness  and  privation  has  been  laid  down,  and  that 
he  has  entered  upon  the  heavenly  inheritance  of  joy  unspeakable  and  full  of  glory.  We 
cannot  better  close  this  tribute  than  by  quoting  his  own  words,  so  applicable  to  himself: 

Thrice  blessed  even  here,  tho'  in  life's  lowest  station, 
The  Christian  who  sits  at  the  feet  of  his  Lord  ; 
With  joy  bears  his  cross  thro'  this  scene  of  probation, 
And  patiently  waits  his  eternal  reward.

The  following  obituary  is  from  the  pen  of  Charles  Miner,  editor  of  the 
Village  Record,  of  West  Chester,  Pa.: 

The  death  of  Isaac  Sharpless,  of  Birmingham,  is  mentioned  upon  our  last  page.  He 
was  41  years  of  age.  The  disease  of  which  he  died  was  consumption.  We  were  acquainted 
with  him  intimately,  and  cannot  let  the  occasion  pass  over  without  the  tribute  of  a  line  to  his 
memory.  Isaac  Sharpless  had  a  clear  and  discriminating  mind,  well  improved  by  education  ; 
and  it  was  his  delight  to  devote  his  talents  to  do  good.  He  was  found  foremost  in  the  support 
of  every  proposition  which  had  for  its  object  the  advancement  of  the  interests  of  society. 
We  have  frequently  been  indebted  to  his  pen  for  valuable  essays  for  our  paper,  chiefly  on 
agricultural  subjects.  Distinguished  by  his  domestic  and  social  virtues,  his  loss  to  his  family 
and  neighborhood  will  be  long  mourned  with  tears  of  sincerest  grief;  and  the  community  are 
called  to  regret  the  departure  of  one  of  our  most  valuable  and  promising  citizens  in  the 
meridian  of  life  and  usefulness.

hundred  fugitives  passed  safely  through  his  hands.  In  184S,  he  was 
prosecuted  for  assisting  slaves  to  escape  from  their  master,  and  fined  to 
the  extent  of  all  his  possessions.  Capital  was  freely  offered  him  by  his

account  of  a  decline  in  his  health,  which  occasioned  him  to  travel.  His

He  came  to  America  in  1S24,  in  company  with  his  parents  or  shortly  after, 
and  for  a  short  time  resided  in  Wilmington.  He  was  for  five  years 
superintendent  of  a  cotton  factor}' at  Rockland,  Del.,  but  in  1831,  purchased 
a  property  at  Rockford,  on  the  Brandywine,  near  Wilmington,  where  he 
resided  and  conducted  the  cotton  manufacturing  business  until  his  death. 
He  often  spoke  in  meetings  of  Friends,  but  was  not  acknowledged  as  a 
minister.  He  was  much  concerned  in  regard  to  the  divisions  in  the 
Society,  and  labored  diligently  to  promote  a  different  state  of  affairs.  In 
pursuance  of  this  object  he,  shortly  before  his  death,  prepared  a  book

John  Gibbons1  of  Warminster  in  Wiltshire,  was  a  purchaser  of 
500  acres  of  land  from  William  Penn,  by  lease  and  release,  Aug.  1,  and  2, 
16S1.  Of  this  he  conveyed  one-half,  Oct.  10,  and  11,  1682,  to  Robert 
Southery,  or  Suddery,  doubtless  his  brother-in-law.  The  evidence  is  that 
he  came  to  Pennsylvania  in  1683  (p-  177)>  ar>d  on  Nov.  27,  in  that  year 
surveys  of  150  acres  each,  were  made  for  him  and  Robert  Southery,  in 
Bethel  township.  There  he  settled  and  died  about  the  year  1721.  By  his 
wife,  Margery,  he  had  two  sons,  John  and  James,  of  whom  the  first  died 
in  1706. 

James  Gibbons2  m.  1  708,  Ann,  dau.  of  George  Peirce,  of  Thornbury, 
and  settled  in  Westtown  township  on  a  farm  of  600  acres,  which  now 
belongs  to  the  Friends'  Boarding  School.  They  had  three  children,  Mary, 
m.  her  2d  cousin,  John  Hannum2,  James  and  Joseph.  The  last  m.  Hannah

James  Gibbons3,  b.  1710— 11,  m.  8,  10,  1734,  Jane  Sheward,  from 
England,  and  settled  on  the  homestead,  where  he  died  in  1745.  His 
children  were  James,  William,  Jane  and  Thomas.

William  Peters,  of  Aston,  12,  1,  1756,  and  settled  on  the  homestead,  which 
he  sold  in  1795  to  Friends  for  the  use  of  a  boarding  school.  He  was  a 
good  scholar,  and  especially  fond  of  the  classics, — a  regular  book-worm, 
and  a  man  of  strong  individuality.  His  children  were  Jane,  Elizabeth, 
Ruth,  John,  Thomas,  Eleanor,  Joshua,  James,  Jemima,  Lucy  and  William.

Donaldson,  of  Wilmington,  Del.,  where  he  soon  after  settled  as  a  physician, 
and  continued  to  reside.  He  had  fourteen  children,  of  whom  all  but  the 
first-born  survived  him,  and  eleven  were  living  at  the  death  of  their  mother, 
1,  30,  1869,  at  the  age  of  83  years. 

Henry  Gibbons6,  the  eldest  surviving  son  of  his  father,  was  graduated  from  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  and  commenced  the  practice  of  medicine  in  his  native  town  before  he  was 
twenty-one.  Being  of  a  family  prominent  in  science,  literature  and  morality,  he  early 
interested  himself  in  such  pursuits  and  became  an  ardent  advocate  in  the  temperance  movement. 
Resolute,  fearless,  unflinching  and  self-sacrificing,  no  selfish  motives  ever  swayed  him,  when

"Delaware  Academy  of  Sciences,"  an  institution  which  exercised  a  marked  influence  in  the 
community.  Yielding  to  the  earnest  solicitations  of  a  medical  friend,  in  1844,  he  removed 
with  his  family  to  Philadelphia,  where  he  could  command  a  broader  field  for  his  pursuits  in 
science  and  literature.  In  conjunction  with  his  practice,  he  held  a  chair  in  one  of  the  medical 
colleges  of  that  city  until  1850,  when  he  joined  his  brothers  in  California.  Selecting  San 
Francisco  for  his  future  home,  his  family  soon  followed.  The  State  of  his  adoption  bears  daily- 
evidence  of  his  power  to  influence  for  good  ;  his  untiring  energy  and  unflinching  zeal  in  the 
cause  of  morality  and  reform  are  indelibly  stamped  upon  its  records. 

For  many  years  president  of  the  "State  Board  of  Health,"  of  the  "Prison  Discipline 
Association,"  of  the  "  Society  of  Prevention  of  Cruelty,"  besides  numerous  other  philanthropic 
institutions,  his  interests  were  always  to  improve  and  benefit  the  community.  In  1852,  he 
founded  the  Mercantile  Library,  for  some  years  the  only  one  in  the  State.  He  was  the  most 
prominent  founder  of  the  Academy  of  Sciences  ;  also  of  the  San  Francisco  Medical  Society. 
In  1861,  with  others,  he  founded  the  first  medical  college  on  the  Pacific  coast,  and  for  some 
years  performed  the  arduous  duties  of  both  president  and  professor.  When  this  college  was 
reorganized,  under  the  name  of  Cooper  Medical  College,  he  was  still  retained  in  his 
professorship. 

That  fifty-five  years  of  such  active  practice,  combined  with  his  varied  pursuits  in  almost 
every  branch  of  learning,  should  undermine  his  health,  is  not  surprising  :  a  change  was  advised. 
With  loss  of  health  came  an  intense  longing  to  visit  once  more  the  home  of  his  birth,  and 
commune  with  the  dear  friends  that  yet  remained.  This  was  encouraged  by  his  family,  with 
the  hope  that  the  change  might  prolong  life.  The  journey  was  made,  and  after  a  few  happy 
weeks  among  these  friends  he  gently  and  calmly  closed  his  eyes  in  the  old  home  of  his 
childhood,  nth  month  5th,  1884,  aged  76. 

A  man  of  unusual  mental  ability,  in  whose  character  were  united  the  highest  elements  of 
a  noble  nature,  his  universal  benevolence,  his  intense  love  of  truth  and  justice,  his  great 
simplicity  and  kindness  of  heart,  added  to  that  crowning  virtue,  a  spotless  purity  of  personal 
character,  presents  to  those  who  were  fortunate  to  be  his  associates,  the  very  highest  example  of 
enduring  excellence.  From  Biographical  Sketch.

Quaker  and  came  to  Pennsylvania,  bringing  a  certificate  from  Sandwich

children  (or  their  representatives)  as  follows :  Joseph,  Elijah,  Israel,  Mahlon, 
Elizabeth,  Mar)-,  Rachel,  Martha.  The  sons  of  Joseph  were  men  of 
remarkable  physical  development,  and  fine  horsemen.  At  the  beginning 
of  the  Revolution  they  were  of  good  reputation,  and  in  accordance  with 
their  Quaker  education,  proposed  to  remain  neutral,  but  being  surrounded 
by  intolerant  Whigs,  they  were  goaded  into  a  course  which  made  their  name 
a  terror  throughout  Bucks  and  the  neio-hborino;  counties.

In  February,  1781,  Irvin  Hinton,  a  young  teamster,  started  with  a  wagon  from  a  block- 
house on  the  present  site  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  to  bring  a  supply  of  provisions  from  Harrodsburg 
to  the  almost  destitute  families  gathered  at  the  fort  for  protection  from  the  Indians.  He  was 
accompanied  by  Richard  LaRue,  aged  19,  and  George  Holman,  aged  16  years. 
Although  mere  boys  there  were  none  in  the  fort  of  greater  intrepidity  or  skill  in  savage 
warfare,  and  the  first  had  been  in  at  least  four  Indian  wars.  They  had  traveled  only  about 
eight  miles  of  the  way  when  they  fell  into  an  ambuscade  of  thirteen  Indians,  led  by  the 
notorious  renegade,  Simon  Girty.  Having  discharged  their  guns  previously,  on  account  of 
the  wet  from  a  light  melting  snow  storm,  they  were  unprepared  to  offer  any  resistance.  Their 
captors  took  them  northward,  across  the  Ohio  river,  and  after  several  days  they  arrived  at  an 


LINE   OF  SAMUEL 3,  JOSEPH'.  4I7 

Indian  village,  where  the  prisoners  were  compelled  to  run  the  gauntlet.  While  their  further 
fate  remained  undecided,  Hinton  attempted  to  escape,  but  was  rei  aptured  and  burned  to 
death  at  the  stake.  Soon  after  this  a  rendezvous  of  the  Indians  in  the  Northwest  Territory 
was  ordered  at  Detroit,  whither  Girty  proceeded  with  his  prisoners.  On  the  way  they  paused 
at  an  Indian  village  on  the  Maumee  River,  where  LaRue  and  Holman  were  again  compelled  to 
run  the  gauntlet,  for  the  amusement  of  the  savages  ;  after  which  a  council  was  held  resulting, 
apparently,  in  their  sentence  to  burning  at  the  stake.  With  blackened  faces  they  were  bound 
to  the  stakes,  but  when  seemingly  about  to  suffer  a  most  terrible  death,  they  were  separately 
released  by  two  of  the  savages,  who  adopted  them  in  the  place  of  deceased  relatives. 

After  more  than  two  years  the  Indian  warriors  were  again  gathered  for  a  general 
conference  at  Detroit,  when,  amidst  the  drunken  revelry  that  ensued,  the  prisoners  found  an 
opportunity  to  escape.  Their  journey  southward  was  attended  with  many  hardships  and 
privations,  but  on  the  twentieth  day  they  arrived  safely  at  the  Ohio  river,  fifty  miles  above 
the  falls,  whence  they  floated  on  a  raft  to  Louisville.  Their  relatives  had  supposed  them  dead  ; 
the  brother-in-law  of  LaRue  had  administered  to  his  estate,  and  sold  a  four  acre  lot  belonging 
to  him,  which  was  located  within  a  short  distance  of  where  the  court-house  now  stands. 
Finding  that  his  affairs  had  been  settled  in  good  faith,  although  somewhat  prematurely,  he 
permitted  the  transaction  to  stand. 

Until  1805,  LaRue  and  Holman  lived  in  Woodford  County,  Kentucky,  when  they  both 
removed  to  Indiana  Territory,  and  located  within  two  miles  of  where  the  city  of  Richmond 
now  stands  ;  where  they  lived  the  remainder  of  their  lives.  Richard  LaRue  died  in  1845, 
but  George  Holman  lived  until  1859.  His  eldest  son,  Hon.  Joseph  Holman,  was  a  member 
of  the  Indiana  Constitutional  Convention,  in  1816,  and  represented  Wayne  County  in  the 
Legislature  several  years  ;  afterwards  holding  an  office  in  the  land  department,  under  the 
administration  of  Gen.  Jackson. 

Many  years  after,  when  peaceful  relations  were  restored  between  the  Indians  and  settlers, 
annual  visits  were  paid  to  LaRue  and  Holman  by  the  Indians  among  whom  they  had  lived ; 
upon  which  occasions  they  were  shown  the  greatest  hospitality,  always  receiving  upon  their 
departure  generous  gifts  of  tobacco  and  corn. 

Condensed  from  ne-wspaper. 

Richard  LaRue  married  a  cousin  of  George  Holman,  but  for  some 
reason  at  present  unknown,  he  dropped  a  part  of  his  surname,  and  was 
known  by  that  of  Rue.  His  grandson,  Richard,  and  the  three  sons  of  the 
latter,  being  all  of  the  male  representatives  of  the  family,  so  far  as  known, 
have  now  resumed  the  original  spelling  of  the  name. 

On  Oct.  2,  1734,  Jonas  LaRue  obtained  a  warrant  for  350  acres  of 
land  in  Leacock  township,  Lancaster  Co.,  Pa.,  and  on  July  19,  1 75 1 ,  he  was 
naturalized  as  a  citizen  of  Pennsylvania.  George  LaRue,  of  Chester  Co., 
was  naturalized  Aug.  18,  1 75 1 .     They  were  doubtless  from  France.

UWCHLAN    MEETING    HOUSE,    BUILT    1756. 


Lwchlan  Meeting  was  first  held  in  171 2,  at  the  house  of  John 
Cadwalader,  in  Uwchlan  township,  and  when  he  sold  his  farm  Jan.  16, 
1  715-6,  he  reserved  "a  piece  of  Ground  on  yc  side  of  the  King's  Road 
which  ye  sd  John  Cadwalader  allotted  for  a  burying  place,  and  to  set  a 
meeting  house  on  for  ye  use  of  ye  people  called  Quakers."     The  present

building  was  erected  in  1756,  but  was  remodeled  perhaps  ten  years  since; 
prior  to  which  the  above  sketch  was  taken  by  Walter  S.  Dowell  (No. 
1850).  The  walling  of  the  graveyard  appears  to  have  been  accomplished 
at  different  times,  in  1772-5. 

From  the  minutes  of  Uwchlan  Monthly  Meeting,  1  mo.,  8,  1778,  we 
take  the  following : 

A  few  Days  ago  the  Key  of  the  Meeting  house  at  Uwchlan  was  demanded  by  some  of 
the  Physicians  to  the  continental  Army,  in  order  to  convert  the  same  into  an  Hospital  for 
their  sick  Soldiers :  the  Friend  who  had  the  Care  of  the  House  and  Key  refusing  to  deliver  it 
forcible  entry  was  made  into  the  House  and  Stables,  and  as  there  is  no  Prospect  of  enjoying 
the  House  peaceably  from  next  First-day  it  is  agreed  that  Uwchlan  Friends  hold 'their  meetings 
at  the  House  of  our  Friend  George  Thomas,  in  the  Great  Valley,  and  that  our  preparative 
and  monthly  meetings  be  held  at  Nantmeal  on  the  usual  Days  till  further  Order. 

The  Monthly  Meeting  was  held  at  Nantmeal  8,  6,  1778,  but  a  month 
later  it  was  again  held  at  Uwchlan.

LIXE   OF  XATHA.Xs,  JOSEPH'.  425 

Nathan  H.  Sharpies  was  born  on  his  father's  farm  in  \V.  Goshen,  now  West  Chester,  and 

the  only  son  who  reached  manhood.     Like  most  only  sons  he  appears  to  have  been  much 

indulged,  when  a  child,  by  all  the  family  except  his  mother,  who  was  said  to  have  been  a  strict 

disciplinarian.     His  temper  was  very  quick,  often  causing  his  older  sister  trouble,  but  in  later 

years  by  strong  will  held  under  control. 

Of  his  school  days,  consisting  of  but  a  few  months  in  all,  we  have  but  little  account ;  yet 
he  doubtless  received  the  best  education  that  his  native  town  afforded. 

In  his  15th  year  he  became  an  apprentice  in  the  printing  office  of  Jones,  HofT  &  Derrick, 
and  assisted  in  publishing  the  "West  Chester  Gazette."  On  the  failure  of  this  newspaper  he 
assisted  his  father  in  the  store,  until  his  iSth  year,  when  he  joined  Philip  Derrick  in  publishing 
the  "Literary  Museum."  This  also  proved  a  failure,  being  premature,  as  society  was  then 
constituted. 

Continuing  to  assist  in  the  store  and  on  the  farm  a  few  years,  he  was  married  in  1804  to 
Martha,  eldest  daughter  of  Philip  Price,  and  thereafter  resided  on  his  father's  farm,  following 
farming  as  his  principal  business.  He  was  often  engaged  in  assisting  his  brother-in-law  in  his 
printing  office  and  his  father  in  the  store,  as  long  as  the  latter  lived.  His  father  dying  in  1817, 
left  his  estate  to  his  son  with  a  proviso  that  he  should  pay  all  debts,  provide  for  his  mother 
during  her  life,  and  pay  legacies  to  his  sisters.  These  trusts  were  faithfully  performed  as  to  his 
mother,  and  the  legacies  to  his  sisters  increased ;  and  his  care  and  kindness  for  those  who 
needed  it  was  extended  to  their  children  during  life. 

In  1818  he  built  the  house  at  the  S.  W.  corner  of  Union  and  High  Streets,  now  occupied 
by  Joseph  Kift,  for  his  mother,  who  occupied  it  less  than  two  years,  when  she  was  removed  by 
death.  His  elder  sister  moved  into  the  house  with  her  mother,  and  remained  in  it  until  her 
own  death,  in  1832.  At  the  time  this  house  was  built  there  was  no  permanent  brick  yard  in 
the  place,  so  that  each  person  burned  the  brick  he  wished  to  use  generally  on  his  own  farm. 
Whilst  Nathan  H.  Sharpies  was  burning  brick  for  his  own  house,  the  demand  became  so  great 
that  he  was  induced  to  burn  a  second  clamp,  which  were  readily  sold.  These  clamps  each 
contained  about  75,000  bricks.  Finding  some  profit  in  brick  making  he  concluded  to  continue 
in  the  business.  This  excited  competition  and  a  second  yard  was  started,  but  West  Chester  at 
that  time  could  not  support  two  yards,  so  the  business  was  soon  abandoned  at  both  for  a  time. 

In  1S26  Nathan  H.  Sharpies  was  elected  a  member  of  the  "  Chester  County  Cabinet  of 
Natural  Science,"  and  aisisted  it  with  both  purse  and  pen  until  1837,  when  he  was  appointed 
chairman  of  the  committee  to  build  a  new  Hall  for  the  Society.  This  hall  is  now  occupied  by 
the  Post  Office  department  and  other  parties. 

His  preference  in  the  sciences  was  for  botany,  which  he  studied  in  company  with  his 
friend  and  nearest  neighbor,  Dr.  Wm.  Darlington,  with  great  interest  and  pleasure.  His 
studies,  however,  were  not  confined  to  any  one  branch  of  science,  for  we  find  that  he  wrote 
up  a  paper,  giving  a  history  and  some  account  of  the  powers  of  the  telescope  presented  to  this 
Society  by  Isaac  Wayne.  It  is  one  that  was  used  in  the  war  of  1776  by  his  father,  General 
Anthony  Wayne,  and  is  highly  treasured  as  a  relic  of  that  noted  struggle. 

In  1829  he  built  the  house  on  the  South  west  corner  of  Church  and  Miner  Streets,  for 
Joseph  J.  Lewis ;  it  being  the  first  brick  house  built  on  the  farm  of  Wm.  Wollerton,  after  its 
purchase  and  partial  sale  by  Wm.  Everhart. 

In  1830  he  erected  Price's  Boarding  School  for  his  father-in-law,  Philip  Price,  and 
Hannah  P.  Davis,  daughter  of  the  latter  ;  who  conducted  it  for  several  years  with  great  success. 
It  was  built  on  a  part  of  his  own  farm,  and  he  remained  intimately  connected  with  its 
management  during  the  remainder  of  his  life.     He  was  one  of  the  trustees  of  the  West 


426  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

Chester  Academy,  and  in  1S32  he  erected,  by  order  of  that  body,  a  large  boarding  house  for 
use  of  students  attending  that  institution.  This  Academy  was  supplanted  by  the  State  Normal 
School,  to  which  its  funds  and  appliances  were  conveyed.  The  lot  and  building  were  sold, 
and  the  boarding  house  remodeled  into  a  hotel,  now  known  as  the  "Sherman  House." 

In  1836  he  joined  with  others  who  agreed  to  build  for  Joshua  Hoopes  a  house  suitable 
for  a  boarding  school  for  boys,  and  was  appointed  superintendent  for  its  erection.  This 
building  is  situated  on  the  highest  point  in  the  borough  and  is  now  owned  and  occupied  by 
Thomas  H.  Hall. 

As  an  executor,  guardian,  auditor,  arbitrator  and  appraiser,  his  services  were  in  frequent 
requisition.  He  held  the  pen  of  a  ready  writer,  and  many  of  his  letters  which  are  yet  extant 
are  very  valuable.  In  181 1  he  was  one  of  the  committee  of  Westtown  Boarding  School,  but 
was  glad  to  be  released  from  that  service,  as  he  soon  found  that  members  from  the  country  had 
but  little  influence  in  the  conduct  of  the  school. 

A  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  by  birthright,  he  became  one  in  early  life  by 
conviction,  and  was  consistent  through  life,  serving  the  meeting  as  clerk  for  many  years. 

When  the  division  in  the  Society  took  place  in  1827  he  declined  attending  the  business 
meetings,  believing  there  was  not  that  charity  exercised  by  either  branch  that  the  Gospel 
required  from  brethren.  He  labored  much  privately  with  the  prominent  members  of  the 
Society  to  effect  a  reconciliation,  avoiding  any  action  which  they  could  construe  into  a  violation 
of  the  discipline,  for  years,  until  he  was  fully  satisfied  the  effort  was  hopeless. 

During  the  closing  years  of  his  life  he  was  an  elder  of  the  meeting.

Joseph  Parker^,  b.  10,  2,  1722,  learned  the  business  of  a  tailor,  settled 
in  Philadelphia  and  m.  12,  21,  1752,  Catharine  Taylor,  of  that  city,  dau.  of 
Thomas,  dec'd,  of  Haverford.  He  was  for  many  years  a  member  of

Legislature. 

Thomas  Parker^,  son  of  Joseph^,  b.  6,  18,  1 76 1 ,  m.  11,  10,  1784, 
Beulah  Thomas,  dau.  of  Edward  and  Sarah  Thomas,  of  Philadelphia. 
Under  the  instructions  of  David  Rittenhouse  and  John  Wood  he  became 
a  clock  and  watch  maker,  carrying  on  the  business  from  1 783,  for  nearly 
half  a  century,  and  was  very  eminent  in  his  calling.  He  was  one  of  the 
first  members  and  for  sixteen  years  the  vice  president  of  "The  Pennsyl- 
vania Society  for  Promoting  the  Abolition  of  Slavery  ; "  for  several  years 
president  of  the  Mechanics'  Bank,  and  of  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the 
Almshouse.  "  But  of  all  his  public  acts  those  which  most  deserve  to 
perpetuate  his  memory,  were  in  relation  to  the  introduction  of  Schuylkill 
water  into  the  city." 

Eliza  Parker's  life  of  quiet  goodness  is  appropriately  set  forth  by  the 
following  tribute  from  the  pen  of  Anna  Sharpless  Brown  : 


SHE  is  thine  !  Almighty  Father  ! 
Sure  of  love  and  mercy  now  ; — 
Of  such  spirits  is  Thy  Kingdom, — ■ 

And  Thy  seal  is  on  her  brow  ; 
Threescore  years  she  walked  among  us, 

With  a  gentle,  upward  tread  ; 
Were  time  marked  by  deeds  of  goodness, 
Centuries  had  crowned  her  head. 

In  our  hours  of  social  gladness 

All  her  sympathies  were  stirred, 
Youth  and  Age  around  her  gathered 

To  receive  the  kindly  word  ; 
Anger  fled  from  her  appearing, 

And  the  heart  forgot  its  pride, 
Charity,  that  suffereth  all  things, 

Was  a  dweller  by  her  side. 


In  the  hour  of  pain  and  trial, 

Tender  were  her  touch  and  tone, 
Yet  her  presence  seemed  a  sunbeam 

Bright' ning  all  where'er  it  shone  : 
Cheering  the  faint-hearted  mother 

Till  the  infant's  wail  was  heard ; 
Then  her  arms  received  the  stranger 

As  she  spoke  the  welcoming  word. 

But  when  Sorrow  was  our  inmate 

Or  when  Trouble  pressed  us  sore, 
Or  when  Death  approached  our  household, 

She  was  ever  at  the  door  ; 
When  of  us  our  Heavenly  Father, 

Asked  the  treasures  that  He  gave, 
Little  loved  ones  she  had  welcomed, 

She  appareled  for  the  grave. 


LINE   OF  JACOB 3,  JOSEPH'. 


459 


Mother's  hand  was  not  more  tender 

To  support  each  drooping  limb, 
Or  to  part  the  clust'ring  ringlets, 

While  with  tears  her  eyes  were  dim  ; 
"This  is  but  the  little  casket," 

She  would  say,  in  pleasant  tone, 
"  And  the  jewel  '  Master'  lent  us 

He  has  taken  for  His  own." 


"  For  we  read  that  '  he  is  blessed 

Who  i  onsidereth  the  poor,' 
God  hath  said,  '  in  time  of  trouble 

His  deliverance  is  sure.'  " 
Those  who  knew  her  well  remember 

When  her  voice  the  silence  broke, 
How  she  charmed  a  list'ning  circle, 

With  the  happy  thoughts  she  spoke. 


Little  children,  poor,  forsaken, 

Ever  in  her  heart  had  place ; 
They  will  miss  her  word  in  season, 

They  will  miss  her  kindly  face  : 
And  the  fallen  she  would  plead  with, 

Letting  no  one  cast  a  stone, 
"  Sister  come  to  seek  our  Father, 

He  His  erring  child  will  own." 


Once  she  told  us,  and  each  feature 

Lighted  up  with  feeling  warm, 
'  Through  this  world  I  bear  a  basket 

Resting  on  my  spirit's  arm  ; 
'Tis  my  Master's  gift — and  ever 

In  his  service  it  shall  be, 
As  I  wander  forth,  I  gather 

Crumbs  of  bread  that  fall  for  me. 


Everything  for  her  had  beauty, 

Flowers  that  bloom  or  leaves  that  fall, 
She  would  spare  the  meanest  insect, 

"  One  Creator  made  us  all :" 
Many  a  weary,  foot-sore  pilgrim 

She  hath  cheered  along  Life's  road, 
Treading  still  the  narrow  pathway 

That  hath  led  her  up  to  God. 


"  When  I  see  a  hopeful  spirit 

Struggling  through  temptation's  hour  ; 
When  I  see  a  poor,  weak  blossom 

Bearing  up  against  the  shower  ; 
Every  word  that  falls  is  precious, 

Every  leaf  becomes  a  gem, 
And  I  lay  them  in  my  basket 

For  a  priceless  diadem. 


Brief  the  time  for  soul  communing — 

Few  the  hours  for  vain  regret ; — 
But  her  lamp  was  trimmed  and  burning, 

And  her  house  in  order  set ; 
Few  her  words — but  fitly  spoken, 

"  She  awaited  Master's  call : 
Poor  and  feeble — yet  she  trusted 

She  would  pass  the  gates  of  Pearl  I" 


"  From  the  lips  of  little  children 

I  have  gained  instruction  sweet ; 
From  the  pris'ner  thoughts  of  wisdom, - 

From  the  beggar  in  the  street  ; 
From  the  things  of  God's  creation  ; 

From  the  rainbow  arching  o'er, — 
And  I  lay  them  in  my  basket, 

Adding  ever  to  my  store. 


"Only  just  within,"  she  murmured, 
And  we  felt  that  she  was  near — 
Graven  were  the  words  she  uttered, 
As  the  last  from  one  most  dear  ; 
"  Some  have  thought  my  time  and  substance 
To  the  poor  too  freely  given  ; 
But  there's  hope  in  this  remembrance, 
It  may  smooth  my  path  to  heaven. 


"  Then  when  illness  comes,  or  sorrow, 

And  I  fain  would  comfort  give, 
Trustful  turn  I  to  my  basket, 

Words  of  healing  to  receive  ; 
Thus  I  labor  for  my  Master, 

Never  weary — never  faint, — 
Unaware,  a  cup  of  water 

I  may  offer  to  a  saint."

THE  SHARPLESS  FAMIL  Y. 


Thus  she  spake — and  inspiration 

Made  her  loving  face  more  bright  ; 
Now  her  lips  have  lost  their  sweetness, 

And  her  eye  its  holy  light, 
Strange  it  seemed  to  see  her  powerless, 

Who  so  helpful  was  to  all, 
C  )h  !   on  some  one  now  among  us, 

May  her  heavenly  mantle  fall ! 


When  we  gather  with  her  children, 

To  perform  the  last  sad  rite, 
Then  we  missed  her  cheering  spirit, 

Always  hopeful,  always  bright ; 
But  we  take  from  out  her  basket 

Thoughts  of  comfort  for  each  breast, 
Through  the  blood  of  her  Redeemer 

She  hath  gained  immortal  rest. 

Anna  S.  Brown.

Dr.  Joseph  Pancoast  was  one  of  the  leading  physicians  of  his  day,  and  died  greatly 
lamented.  For  36  consecutive  years  he  occupied  two  of  the  most  important  chairs  as  professor 
in  Jefferson  Medical  College,  from  which  he  resigned  in  1874.  He  gave  much  attention  to 
medical  literature,  and  it  was  as  a  distinguished  author,  as  well  as  a  successful  practitioner,  that 
he  won  deserved  fame,  both  at  home  and  abroad.  Viewing  him  as  a  man  and  as  a  physician, 
as  an  author  and  as  a  practitioner,  as  a  student  and  as  a  teacher,  it  can  be  truly  said  that  the 
city  of  his  adoption  and  the  profession  of  his  choice  have  just  cause  to  be  proud  of  him,  and 
that  the  world  is  the  better  and  happier  for  his  life. — History  of  Phila.,  1884,  ii.  1620.

The  Rt.  Rev.  William  Mercer  Green,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  First  Bishop  of 
Mississippi,  was  but  young  when  his  father  died,  and  it  was  to  his  mother's 
pious  example  and  watchful  discipline  that  he  was  indebted  for  a  proper 
training.  In  181 4  he  entered  the  freshmen  class  of  the  University  of  North 
Carolina,  at  Chapel  Hill,  and  while  pursuing  his  studies  became  interested 
in  reading  the  life  of  Bishop  Berkeley,  which  had  much  influence  in  giving 
direction  to  his  future  life.  In  1S1S  he  received  the  degree  of  A.B.  in  a 
class  of  unusual  distinction.  A  few  months  later  he  married  and  then 
commenced  a  course  of  study  for  the  ministry,  to  which  he  was  admitted  in 
1823.  For  four  years  he  was  in  charge  of  St.  John's  Church,  Williams- 
borough, at  the  same  time  paying  missionary  visits  to  Halifax,  Raleigl^ 
Oxford,  Milton  and  Hillsborough.  In  1826  he  removed  to  the  latter  place 
and  founded  St.  Matthew's  Church.  In  1837  he  was  appointed  to  the 
chaplaincy,  and  chair  of  Belles-Letters  in  his  alma  mater,  in  which  position 
he  continued  until  unexpectedly  called,  in  1849,  to  be  the  First  Bishop  of 
Mississippi.  He  was  consecrated  in  St.  Andrew's  Church,  Jackson,  Miss., 
Feb.  24,  1850,  by  Bishops  J.  H.  Otey,  of  Tenn.,  Leonidas  Polk,  of  La., 
X.  H.  Cobb,  of  Ala.,  and  George  W.  Freeman,  of  Arkansas.  The  decree 
of  D.D.  was  conferred  upon  him  in  1845,  by  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
and  that  of  LL.D.  more  recently  by  the  University  of  N.  C.  Some  years 
since  he  prepared  a  "tree"  of  the  Bradley  Branch  of  the  Sharpless  family, 
which  was  lithographed,  and  a  copy  found  its  way  to  the  reunion  of  1882. 


498  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

To  this  reunion  he  came  from  his  home  at  Sewanee,  Tenn.,  where  he  still 
resides,  anxiously  awaiting  the  appearance  of  the  Sharpless  Genealogy.

at  Orton  plantation,  on  Cape  Fear  River ;  son  of  John  Hill  and  Elizabeth 
Jones,  of  Wilmington.  Dr.  Hill  practised  medicine  about  ten  years,  was  a 
man  of  culture  and  ranked  high  as  a  writer.  For  twenty  years  prior  to  his 
death,  he  was  connected  with  the  Bank  of  the  Cape  Fear ;  first  as  cashier, 
and  four  years  as  president.  He  was  also  vice-president  of  the  Wilmington 
and  Weldon  R.  R.  Originally  a  rice  planter  of  Cape  Fear,  as  was  his 
father,  he  became,  after  1839,  a  large  cotton  planter  in  S.  W.  Georgia. 
He  sold  his  N.  C.  plantation  and  about  1842  removed  to  Early  Co.,  Ga., 
where  he  possessed  large  bodies  of  land  and  many  slaves.  "  He  was  a 
gentleman  of  the  old  school,  great  urbanity,  dignity  and  geniality."

useful  service  exemplified  the  Christian  graces  in  an  eminent  degree."  Of 
James  Bruce  his  son  James  writes, — "In  1779,  in  his  iSth  year,  he 
volunteered  as  a  soldier  of  the  Revolutionary  war.  His  father,  being  a 
Quaker,  was  opposed  to  his  son  bearing  arms,  and  through  the  intluence  of 
his  friend  Lawrence  Washington,  a  nephew  of  Gen.  George  Washington, 
had  his  son  James  appointed  wagon  master,  and  he  served  in  that  position."

kept  a  hotel  in  Hillsborough  one  year  ;  thence  to  Monroe  in  the  same

John  Sharpless  was  a  farmer  and  resided  at  the  homestead  of  his 
parents  until  about  1863,  when,  having  erected  new  buildings  on  the 
western  part  of  the  farm,  he  removed  thither,  and  in  1866,  sold  the  other 
to  his  brother-in-law,  T.  C.  Palmer.  He  presided  at  the  bi-centennial 
meeting  of  the  family,  at  Sharpless  Rock,  in  1882,  and  by  his  interest  and 
exertions  contributed  much  to  the  success  of  that  event.  As  a  member  of 
the  Society  of  Friends  he  was  deeply  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the 
Society,  and  occupied  the  position  of  an  elder  in  his  meeting ;  being  also 
frequently  appointed  on  the  important  affairs  of  the  church.  For  about 
nine  years  he  represented  Concord  Quarterly  Meeting  in  the  Meeting  for 
Sufferings,  a  body  organized  during  times  of  persecution  for  conscience' 
sake,  and  which  represents  the  Yearly  Meeting  during  its  adjournment. 
Kind  as  a  neighbor,  and  especially  to  those  in  need  of  assistance,  much  of 
his  income  was  devoted  to  charitable  purposes  ;  and  so  far  as  known  he 
was  without  an  enemy  in  the  world. 

Humility  and  watchfulness,  and  a  low  estimate  of  his  own  attainments,  were  very  con- 
spicuous traits  in  the  character  of  our  beloved  friend,  and  were  evinced  by  his  daily  prayerful 
and  careful  walk  before  the  world.  In  a  letter  to  a  friend,  written  but  three  days  before  his 
death,  these  virtues  were  strikingly  manifested  by  the  following  language  :  "  My  earnest  desire 
is  to  know  more  of  that  purifying  work  which  it  is  needful  for  all  to  submit  to,  to  cleanse  the 
heart  from  the  defilements  of  sin,  and  bring  it  into  closer  union  with  the  loving  spirit  of  the 
dear  Saviour,  *  *  and  that  my  feet  may  be  kept  in  the  narrow  way  the  few  remaining  days 
of  my  life,  is  the  sincere  prayer  of  my  heart."  Although  death  came  at  an  unexpected 
moment,  yet  his  family  and  friends,  while  deeply  afflicted,  are  comforted  in  the  assurance  that 
it  is  well  with  him  ;  and  that  through  adorable  mercy  his  immortal  spirit  has  been  permitted  to 
enter  into  endless  bliss. —  The  Fric?id,  lix,  176. 

While  quietly  seated  in  the  midst  of  his  family  about  9  o'clock  in  the 
evening  of  a  stormy  autumn  day,  he  was  called  to  the  door  by  a  request 


LINE  OF  DAXIEL',  DANIEL3,  JOHN:  579 

for  assistance  to  travelers  whose  carriage  had  broken  down  in  the  public 
road  near  by.  Going  to  the  stable,  in  the  under  part  of  the  barn,  to  get  a 
rope,  he  was  there  struck  down  by  a  blow  on  the  head,  which  is  believed  to 
have  caused  instant  death.  His  wife  had  endeavored  to  dissuade  him  from 
going,  and,  her  alarm  increasing  with  his  absence,  her  sister,  Jane  M.  Pratt, 
a  member  of  the  family,  went  out  to  the  road  to  look  for  him.  Seeing  no 
one  she  returned,  passed  the  house  and  went  to  the  barn,  where  she  saw 
his  umbrella  leaning  against  the  stable  door.  She  called,  but  no  answer 
came,  and  filled  with  terrible  apprehensions  she  sped  with  all  her  strength 
to  the  nearest  neighbor's  house,  the  birthplace  of  the  murdered  man. 
Meanwhile  the  stranger,  apparently  a  colored  man,  had  entered  the  house 
and  demanded  money.  He  was  met  with  a  calm  refusal  and  after  a  few 
unintelligible  inquiries  about  some  supposed  member  of  the  household  he 
withdrew,  perhaps  fearing  that  a  messenger  had  gone  for  assistance.  As 
it  happened  the  neighbors  had  just  put  horse  to  a  carriage,  and  they  brought 
fane  back  to  the  house  in  less  than  ten  minutes  from  the  time  she  started. 
The  lifeless  body  was  found,  but  the  murderer  had  flown  ;  and  soon  there 
burst  forth  the  flames  of  a  neighboring  barn,  which  he  had  doubtless  fired 
to  distract  attention  from  his  pursuit. 

As  the  news  spread  it  created  intense  excitement.  Stimulated  by  the 
hope  of  reward,  detectives  investigated  all  possible  clues,  and  reporters, 
desirous  of  notoriety,  called  upon  their  imaginations  where  facts  failed 
them.  No  one  will  ever  know  the  truth  by  reading  the  press  of  that  day. 
At  length  through  the  evidence  of  a  former  fellow  prisoner,  a  colored  man, 
named  Samuel  Johnson,  was  arrested  in  Philadelphia,  was  tried  at  Media 
and  convicted  of  the  crime.  The  character  of  the  witnesses  weakened 
their  testimony,  while  on  the  other  hand  the  defence  failed  to  produce 
rebutting  evidence.  He  now  lies  in  jail  awaiting  the  result  of  a  motion  for 
a  new  trial.

The  following  sketch  was  written  but  a  short  time  before  the  death  of 
Lydia  Shipley,  whose  remarkable  vigor  of  mind  and  body,  in  extreme  age, 
was  a  surprise  to  all  who  saw  her : 

Lydia  Shipley,  now  living  at  the  summer  residence  of  her  son  Samuel  R.  Shipley,  in 
East  Bradford,  at  the  age  of  ninety-six  years  and  six  months,  was,  by  her  second  marriage,  the 
wife  of  Thomas  Shipley.  He  was  a  noted  friend  of  the  slave,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death 
was  president  of  the  ' '  Pennsylvania  Society  for  the  Abolition  of  Slavery. ' '  For  many  years 
his  home  in  Philadelphia  was  the  gathering  place  of  such  men  as  William  Lloyd  Garrison, 
Benjamin  Lundy,  Arthur  Buffum,  Dr.  Joseph  Parrish,  George  Thompson,  M.  P.,  of  London, 
and  many  others  of  like  minds  and  sympathies.  The  colored  man  found  there  a  resting  place 
on  his  way  to  Canada,  and  no  man  in  Philadelphia  was  more  hated  by  the  slave  catchers  than 
he.  The  lines  of  Whittier,  in  the  memorial  poem,  written  in  1836,  upon  the  death  of  Thomas 
Shipley,  may  be  remembered  in  this  connection  : 

Oh,  loved  of  thousands,  to  thy  grave, 

Sorrowing  of  heart  thy  brethren  bore  thee  ; 
The  poor  man  and  the  rescued  slave, 

Wept  as  the  broken  earth  closed  o'er  thee : 
And  grateful  tears,  like  summer  rain, 
Quickened  the  dying  grass  again. 


£98  THE  SHAKPLESS  FAMILY. 

Lydia  Shipley  was  the  warm  and  sympathizing  ally  of  her  husband  in  his  labors  of  love  ; 
and  now,  near  the  close  of  a  long  life,  she  can  look  back  upon  the  wonderful  changes  which 
fifty  years  have  wrought  in  bringing  full  fruition  to  the  cause  for  which  her  husband  so  zealously 
labored.  Her  mind  still  remains  clear  and  her  faculties  have  been  retained  in  an  unusual 
degree.  She  recalls  the  events  of  the  year  1793,  when  the  yellow  fever  desolated  Philadelphia. 
Her  recollection  of  Nicholas  Wain,  John  Pemberton,  Richard  Jordan,  Thomas  Scattergood, 
and  many  other  worthies  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  is  still  bright  and  vivid.  She  can  recite 
many  passages  from  their  sermons,  delivered  some  eighty  years  ago.  George  Washington,  as 
he  appeared  when  President  of  the  United  States,  was  a  familiar  figure  upon  Chestnut  Street, 
in  her  native  city,  and  she  remembers  his  habitual  politeness  as  he  bowed  to  every  lady  in 
passing.

Charles  B.  Clement,  Paulsboro,  N.  J.,  writes  thus  : 

I  have  in  my  possession  my  grandfather's  clock,  cane,  knife  he  carved  his  wedding 
dinner  with,  and  a  stand  we  call  the  "  Anti-Slavery  Stand."  It  was  taken  to  Carpenters' 
Hall  by  him  when  the  Declaration  of  Anti-Slavery  was  signed  on  it :  also  a  box  that  holds 
pens,  wafers,  and  the  ink  glass  from  which  the  Declaration  was  signed.  Joseph  Sharpless 
lived  on  Fourth  Street,  near  Arch,  when  William  Lloyd  Garrison  first  came  to  Philadelphia. 
He  was  sent  to  my  grandfather's  by  the  keeper  of  the  Merchants'  Hotel,  which  was  the  custom 
when  his  place  was  crowded.  The  Merchants'  Hotel  was  for  many  years  the  favorite  stopping 
place  of  southern  men.  One  came  with  Garrison  to  grandfather's.  They  were  good  friends 
until  one  evening  when  sitting  by  this  anti-slavery  stand  they  got  excited  over  the  slavery 
question.  The  southerner  was  so  badly  beaten  in  argument  that  my  mother,  then  a  young 
woman,  took  his  part.  Garrison  seemed  hurt  and  surprised,  for  grandfather  had  taken  a  great 
interest  in  his  cause.  That  night  my  mother  thought  of  what  she  had  seen  and  heard  and  in 
the  morning  told  Garrison  she  would  always  be  a  faithful  friend  to  his  cause  ;  and  if  she  ever 
was  the  mother  of  a  sun  he  should  be  called  after  htm.  When  the  Pennsylvania  Hill  was 
burned  Garrison  and  his  friends  were  kept  prisoners  in  the  Hall  by  the  mob.  Dinner  time 
came,  and  my  mother  hearing  how  they  were  trapped,  thought  she  would  take  them  some 
dinner.     When  she  got  to  them  Garrison  said  it  came  to  them  like  manna  from  Heaven. 


684  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

The  first  thing  that  I  remember  in  my  life  was  seeing  my  father  taking  a  ride  on  a  fence 
rail,  surrounded  by  a  mob  of  drunken  men  from  Mount  Holly.  The  tavern-keeper  had  given 
them  a  keg  of  whiskey  to  break  up  an  anti-slavery  meeting.  My  mother  helped  Charles 
Rurleigh  away  from  the  mob  to  her  home.  In  1847,  she  started  a  First-day  school  at 
Haddonfield,  for  colored  children.  For  this  and  my  father  trying  to  teach  a  runaway  slave 
boy  a  trade  his  house  was  mobbed,  the  windows  broken,  and  stones  large  enough  to  have  killed 
me  lav  around  my  pillow. 

My  brother,  Joseph  Sharpless  Clement,  enlisted  in  the  2d  Penna.  Cavalry  two  weeks 
after  the  first  Hull  Run  battle.  After  serving  nearly  three  years  he  lost  his  life  by  men  in 
ambush,  while  with  Sheridan  on  his  last  raid  around  Gordonsville.

d.  there,  9,  2,  1SS2,  unmarried.  After  spending  a  few  years  at  the 
common  schools,  he  was  sent  while  a  mere  boy  to  Philadelphia  to  learn  a 
mechanical  business,  because  he  had  manifested  an  early  fondness  and  a 
remarkable  skill  in  the  use  of  tools.  When  his  task  was  finished  in  the 
city,  and  he  came  to  his  native  place  to  establish  himself  in  business,  he 
was  astonished  to  find  that  his  reputation  as  a  man  of  high  moral  worth 
and  stern  integrity  had  reached  the  town  before  him.  fie  was  offered, 
without  solicitation,  all  the  money  he  needed  to  engage  in  business.  He 
succeeded  beyond  his  most  sanguine  anticipations,  and  had  scarcely  passed 
the  prime  of  life  when  an  ample  fortune  induced  him  to  retire  from  his 
profession. 

But  not  to  rest.  Then,  as  it  ever  will  be,  I  presume,  many  widows 
needed  a  wise,  honest,  and  patient  counsellor.  And  wherever  they  in- 
quired for  one  they  were  advised  above  all   others  to  go  to  John  Ferris. 


686  THE  SHARPLESS  FAMILY. 

And  these  were  his  clients  that  kept  him  busy  even  to  the  last  month  of 
his  eventful  life.  Yes,  without  compensation,  in  the  storms  of  winter  and 
in  the  burning  heats  of  summer,  he  was  ever  faithful,  ever  watchful  of 
their  interests  and  welfare.  His  extensive  learning,  his  unquestioned 
ability,  and  great  experience  enabled  him  to  answer  many  abstruse 
questions  which  perplexed  and  worried  even  astute  lawyers. 

Honest  and  deserving  povertv  never  appealed  to  him  in  vain.  And 
there  was  scarcely  a  little  child  or  horse  or  dog  in  his  neighborhood  that 
did  not  know  him  well,  and  did  not  listen  with  evident  pleasure  for  a 
pleasant  word  from  him  as  he  passed  by.  He  left  an  estate  of  about 
>2  50,000,  of  which  a  residue,  amounting  to  $70,000,  was  directed  to  be 
given  to  benevolent  institutions,  at  the  discretion  of  his  executor ; 
preferring,  however,  in  case  a  House  of  Refuge  should  be  built,  that  the 
greater  part  should  be  applied  for  that  purpose.  C.    H.,   M.D.

Atlantic  City,  whither  he  went  toward  the  close  of  their  visit  to  accompany 
them  home.  Unfortunately,  before  starting  home,  it  was  determined  to 
take  a  sail  on  the  ocean  beyond  the  breakers  and  in  returning  the  boat  was 
suddenly  capsized.  The  two  children  were  at  once  swept  off  and  drowned, 
while  he,  clinging  to  the  boat  with  one  arm,  supported  his  wife  with  the 
other  until  assured  by  the  captain  that  she  too  was  drowned,  when  he 
clasped  her  in  his  arms  and  sank  beneath  the  waves  ;  thus  voluntarily

Haverford  College,  Pa.  For  a  few  years  prior  to  his  death  he  was  principal 
of  Friends'  Select  School,  Phila.  He  was  a  devoted  laborer  in  the  cause 
of  education  and  much  beloved  by  his  pupils  and  others.

Berfjamin  D.  Johnson  and  Elizabeth  Coale,  of  East  Bradford  township 
After  completing  his  education  he  spent  three  years  in  the  Iron  Works  at 
Coatesville  and  Thorndale,  Chester  Co.,  Pa.,  acquiring  a  knowledge  of  the 
manufacture  of  iron.  A  period  of  financial  depression  occurring,  he 
relinquished  the  business  temporarily  to  accept  a  position  which  was  offered 
on  an  engineer  corps.  Finding  that  occupation  congenial  to  his  tastes  he 
concluded  to  adopt  it  as  a  profession,  and  was  placed  in  charge  of  the 
construction  of  a  division  of  the  West  Chester  and  Philadelphia  R.  R. 
After  being  engaged  in  that  position  about  two  years  he  entered  the  service 
of  the  Pennsylvania  R.  R.,  holding  the  position  of  an  officer  of  that  road  a 
little  more  than  ten  years,  the  greater  part  of  that  time  in  charge  of  the 
Eastern  Division  as  Resident  Engineer.  Resigning  that  position  he  became 
the  chief  engineer  and  general  superintendent  of  the  Wilmington  and 
Reading  (now  Wilmington  and  Northern)  R.  R.,  then  in  process  of 
construction.  About  a  year  after  the  completion  of  that  road  he  removed 
to  Ohio  and  entered  upon  the  duties  of  chief  engineer  of  the  Painesville 
and  Youngstown  R.  R.,  surveying,  locating  and  constructing  that  road  until 
operations  were  suspended  in  consequence  of  the  financial  panic  of  1872. 
During  the  same  time  he  also  directed  the  construction,  as  chief  engineer, 
of  the  Mineral  Range  R.  R.,  of  Michigan.  Since  1874  he  has  chiefly 
resided  at  West  Chester,  Radnor  and  Bryn  Mawr,  Pa.,  pursuing  his  vocation 
mostly  in  Eastern  Penna.  He  was  the  projector  of  the  Bi-Centennial 
Reunion  of  the  Sharpless  Family,  in  1882,  and  took  an  active  part  in 
promoting  the  success  of  that  memorable  occasion,  and  of  the  resulting 
genealogical  compilation.     P.  O.,  Bryn  Mawr,  Pa.     Children, —

settled  on  a  farm  about  one  mile  northwest  of  Middletown  Meeting,  a  part 
of  the  Peter  Worrall  tract,  whereon  he  resided  till  his  death,  which  was 
caused  by  a  fall  from  a  load  of  wheat  in  harvest  time.  He  was  a  public 
spirited  citizen,  taking  an  active  interest  in  the  cause  of  education  and  good 
government.  In  the  spring  of  1865  he  was  drafted  for  military  service,  but 
being  conscientiously  opposed  to  war  he  declined  to  serve  and  was  finally

From  recently  discovered  information  there  is  no  doubt  that  the  family  name  was 
originally  Haworth,  descended  from  the  Haworths  of  Haworth,  in  Lancashire,  Eng. 

Lawrence  Haworth,  of  Thurcroft,  a  descendant  of  this  family,  was  the  father  of  Richard 
Haworth,  of  Waterside,  Lower  Darwen,  born  about  1530,  and  died  1602  or  1603.  The 
children  of  Richard  were  Lawrence,  Thomas,  James,  Peter,  Anne  and  Jennet. 

Thomas  Haworth,  of  Waterside,  dying  1637  or  1638,  had  four  daughters  and  a  son, 
Peter  Haworth,  of  Lower  Darwen,  who  died  in  1677,  leaving  children,  Thomas,  Richard,  M.  D., 
James,  John  and  Elizabeth.  The  son  Richard  was  an  apothecary  at  Blackburn, 
and  died  about  1694,  leaving  children,  Thomas,  Peter,  Grace,  Henry  and  Richard.  Henry 
was  born  in  1689,  which  would  seem  to  identify  him  as  the  emigrant,  but  we  find  instead 
that  he  was  an  apothecary  in  Blackburn,  and  governor  of  the  grammar  school  there,  in  1720. 
He  died  1728,  leaving  children,  Thomas  and  Robert. 

Another  Lawrence  Haworth,  of  Thurcroft,  in  Lower  Darwen,  d.  1619,  was  the  son  of 
Peter,  of  Thurcroft,  gent,  who  d.  1600,  and  first  cousin  to  Thomas  Haworth,  of  Waterside, 
above  mentioned.  His  son  Peter,  b.  1587,  built  the  present  house  of  Thurcroft,  in  1634, 
and  d.  July,  1675.  He  was  the  representative  of  the  family  at  the  Herald's  visitation  of 
Lancashire,  in  1664.  Lawrence  Haworth,  son  of  the  last  Peter,  m.  Grace,  dau.  and  sole 
heiress  of  Roger  Gillibrand  :  was  governor  of  Blackburn  grammar  school,  and  was  buried  at 
Blackburn  Church,  July  20,  1675.  His  son  Richard  Haworth,  of  Thurcroft,  b.  Dec.  8,  1656  ; 
buried  July  28,    1694,  was  the   father  of  Grace,  Peter  and   Richard.     It  may  be   surmised

whether  Henry,  the  emigrant,  was  not  also  the  son  of  this  Richard,  and  having  left  England 
was  omitted  from  the  English  pedigree.  Further  investigations  might  well  repay  the 
inquirer.

at  Burlington,  N.  J.,  Washington,  D.  C,  and  Richmond,  Va.  He  became 
a  cadet  in  the  Confederate  Naval  School,  and  served  while  a  mere  boy  in 
the  harbor  of  Charleston.  Being  with  Jefferson  Davis  at  the  time  of  the 
latter's  capture  he  suffered  imprisonment  for  several  months  at  Fortress 
Monroe,  after  which  he  joined  his  brother  in  Canada  and  proceeded  to 
England.  Entering  the  merchant  service  on  the  Atlantic,  he  rose  to  the 
position  of  mate,  and  removing  thence  to  the  Pacific  Coast  by  way  of  China, 
he  became  commander  of  several  steamers  in  succession,  ending  with  the 
ill-fated  Pacific.  While  a  passenger  on  board  of  the  Los  Angeles,  2,  23, 
1874,  on  her  voyage  from  San  Francisco  to  Victoria,  the  steamer  broke 
her  propeller  shaft  and  became  unmanageable.  Captain  Howell  bravelv 
volunteered  to  risk  the  danger  of  an  attempt  to  reach  land  in  a  small  boat, 
and  being  successful  walked  to  Astoria,  whence  a  tug  hastened  to  the 
rescue  of  the  disabled  vessel.  The  steamer  Pacific  was  foundered  in  a 
gale  off  Cape  Flattery,  near  Victoria,  11,  10,  1875,  and  Captain  Howell 
was  drowned  from  a  raft  on  which  some  of  the  unfortunate  passengers  had 
taken  refuge  ;  he  being  the  last  man  to  leave  the  ship.  When  one  of  these, 
a  woman,  was  swept  from  the  raft  he  sprang  to  her  assistance,  and  thus  in 
his  last  act,  which  cost  him  his  life,  displayed  the  same  heroic  chivalry  and 
generosity  which  had  marked  his  whole  career.  A  more  extended  notice 
will  be  found  in  the  History  of  the  Confederate  Navy,  now  in  press.

Samuel  L.,  b.  12,  29,  1832;  was  educated  principally  at  Westtown  Boarding  School, 
and  taught  a  district  school  in  Edgmont  for  two  winters.  In  1853,  he  removed 
to  Philadelphia,  and  entered  the  office  of  Joseph  Fox,  a  prominent  surveyor.  In 
1858,  he  was  appointed  one  of  the  City  Surveyors  and  Regulators,  and  was  re- 
elected by  the  people  for  four  successive  terms  of  five  years. 

During  this  time  he  was  an  engineer  of  Fairmount  Park,  and  was  one  of  the 
most  active  in  securing  this  pleasure  ground.  In  1872,  he  was  elected  Chief  En- 
gineer and  Surveyor  by  City  Councils,  and  in  1887  was  re-elected  for  the  fourth 
term  of  five  years.

Avenue,  and  the  new  canti-lever  bridge  at  Market  Street,  and  many  other  smaller 
bridges  in  various  parts  of  the  city  have  been  built  under  his  direction.  The  lo- 
cation of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  so  as  to  pass  through  a  tunnel,  thus 
making  a  safe  entrance  to  Fairmount  Park,  (of  which  he  is  ex-officio  a  commis- 
sioner) was  greatly  due  to  his  exertions. 

For  many  years  he  has  been  interested  in  genealogy,  and  has  collected  many 
records  of  the  Smedley  family,  with  a  view  to  publication.  He  has  therefore  been 
deeply  interested  in  this  work,  and  second  to  none  in  contributing  to  its  successful 
completion.

INDEX. 


In  looking  for  names  which  are  common  to  many  individuals  it  will  be  found  more 
convenient  to  search  for  a  less  common  name  of  a  near  relative,  as,  for  instance,  the  maiden 
name  of  wife  or  mother  of  the  person  sought  for.  The  married  names  of  females  will  not 
generally  be  found  in  this  Index;  and  the  same  may  be  said  of  names  in  the  Preface  and 
Additions  and  Corrections  at  the  beginning  of  the  book.

The  following  table  represents  the  number  of  descendants  in  the 
different  generations  and  in  the  principal  branches  of  the  family,  those 
under  twenty-five  being  omitted.  On  account  of  intermarriages,  the  total 
number  is  less  than  the  sum  of  the  divisions.  It  may  also  be  remarked 
that  all  the  descendants  have  not  been  discovered  in  some  of  the  branches.

SHARPLESS  GENEALOGY. 


NOTICE  TO  SUBSCRIBERS. 


Thj  Committee  appointed  at  the  "Sharpless  Bi-Centennial"  on  August  24th,  1882, 
to  prepare  a  genealogical  record,  have  devoted  much  time  and  attention  to  the  work  ; 
and  having  employed  Gilbert  Cope,  the  well-known  genealogist,  to  carry  on  the 
correspondence,  compile  the  information,  and  attend  to  the  printing,  at  a  moderate 
compensation,  they  are  gratified  to  announce  that  the  record  is  now  printed  ready  for 
binding. 

The  work  of  preparation  has  been  very  arduous  and  tedious,  and  to  obtain  correct 
information  has  required  a  vast  amount  of  persevering  and  oft-repeated  correspondence, 
subject  to  long  delays  from  neglect  in  replying  to  inquiries. 

In  order  to  obtain  reliable  copies  of  ancient  records  in  England,  the  valuable 
services  of  Henry  Fish  wick,  F.  H.  S.,  were  secured,  resulting  in  collecting  much 
information  prior  to  the  emigration  of  John  Sharpies  to  America,  in  addition  to  that 
furnished  by  Col  Joseph  Lemuel  Chester,  which  is  of  great  value  to  the  family  and 
those  interested  in  genealogy. 

These  efforts  have  been  rewarded  with  such  extraordinary  and  gratifying  success, 
that  when  the  originally  proposed  limit  of  960  pages  for  a  single  S5-oo  volume  was 
reached,  but  little  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  names  collected  had  been  printed. 

The  material  was  sufficient  for  two  volumes,  which  the  original  circular  to 
subscribers  advised  might  be  required.  Believing  that  a  single  book,  though  incon- 
veniently large,  would  be  less  expensive  and  more  generally  acceptable  than  two 
volumes  ;  for  the  credit  of  the  undertaking  and  the  family,  the  effort  to  make  the  work 
as  complete  as  practicable  has  been  persevered  in,  under  the  conviction  that  subscribers 
generally  would  willingly  pay  the  actual  and  necessary  cost  of  production,  without 
profit  to  any  one. 

The  Committee  having  entered  on  the  responsible  and  arduous  undertaking,  have 

11  much  valuable  time  and  labor  gratuitously,  for  the  benefit  of  all  interested,  and 
have  advanced  funds  to  complete  the  work. 


It  may  be  stated  that  beside  the  record  of  ig  325  descendants  from  John  and  Jane 
Sharpies,  the  pioneer  ancestors,  the  book  contains  a  full  report  of  the  Bi-Centennial 
gathering  of  the  family  in  1S82,  together  with  a  valuable  photograph  of  the  entire 
assemblage  on  that  occasion  ;  also  phototype  portraits  of  thirty  members  of  the  family  ; 
phototype  copies  of  ancient  marriage  certificates,  deeds  and  other  documents  ;  pictures 
of  several  Friends'  Meeting  houses  closely  identified  with  the  history  ;  and  a  large 
amount  of  interesting  information  respecting  the  ancestry  of  families  who  have 
intermarried  with  the  Sharplesses. 

The  expense  of  collecting  all  this  information,  amounting  to  1350  pages,  with 
illustrations,  exclusive  of  portraits,  and  nearly  one-half  more  paper  and  printing  than 
was  originally  estimated  for  a  single  volume,  has  made  the  actual  cost  of  production 
S7.00  per  copy  in  cloth  binding. 

The  edition  is  limited  ;  and  as  a  much  deeper  interest  is  tat  en  in  family  history 
than  at  the  date  of  the  record  of  1816,  which  is  now  very  scarce  and  valuable,  this 
volume,  which  is  an  elegant  large  quarto  weighing  ten  pounds,  will,  in  a  few  years,  be 
highly  prized,  and  the  fortunate  possessor  of  it  will  treasure  it  as  an  heirloom  in  the 
family,  wherein  future  generations  will  find  preserved  their  ances'ral  family  records 
easily  accessible.  Many  persons  will  therefore  desire  a  more  enduring  and  ornamental 
binding  than  the  cloth  furnished  for  the  general  edition.  Arrangements  have  been 
made  witW  the  binder  to  furnish  binding  as  follows  : 


For  a 


For  cne  volume,  bound  in  dark  cloth,  beveled  edges, 


ne  volume,  bound  in  half  morocco,  marbeled  edge, 


For  one  volume,  bound  in  full  morocco,  gilt  edge, 


$7.00 

8.50 

10.50 


You  will  please  forward  to  Gilbert  Cope,  West  Chester,  Peuna.,  within  ten  days, 
a  statemer.t  of  the  kind  of  binding  desired,  together  with  the  proper  amount,  which  may 
be  sent  in  postal  order.  When  the  money  is  received,  the  books  will  be  forwarded  by 
express.  The  express  charges  which  will  be  paid  by  the  subscriber  on  delivery  of  the 
book,  vary  from  fifteen  cents  to  two  dollars,  according  to  distance.  When  the  cost  of 
express  exceeds  postal  charges — one  dollar— it  will  be  cheaper  to  deliver  by  mail. 
Those  farther  west  than  St.  Louis,  and  south  of  Kentucky,  who  will  forward  one  dollar 
in  addition  to  the  price  of  the  book  for  required  prepayment,  will  have  those  books 
delivered  by  mail  instead  of  express.  After  thirty  days  the  books  unpaid  for  will  be 
disposed  of  to  other  purchasers.
