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.

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
6 THE SHAKPLESS FA MIL Y.
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
* Record Office, vol. 143, K. 5 and 5 a.
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
* Record Office, K. 5 b.
S THE SHARPLESS EAMIL Y.
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
* Record Office, vol. 159, W. 11.
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.
% Record Office, vol. 71, II. 15.
THE SHARPLESS EAMIL Y. g
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

THE SHARPL ESS EA MIL V. , 3
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

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
THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
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 —
Committee
of
Arrangements
SHARPLESS
BI-CENTENNIAL.
6-14-1682.
8-24-1882.
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

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.
24
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

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

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.

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

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
which John Sharpies 2d and seventy-four others signed an agreement
not to tdve rum or strong drink to the Indians.
A "bull's eye" silver watch, owned by Chalkley Smedley, of Uwchlan,
Chester County. Tradition says it was brought over by John Sharpies
in 1682.

in Wales ; now owned by John Sharpless.

THE SHARPLESS FAMILY IN ENGLAND.
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

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

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.
52
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 :

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
S4 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
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.
59
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.

68 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
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.
(i.) John Sharpies', bapt. at Wybunbury, Cheshire, England,
Aug. 15, 1624; died 4 mo. 11, 1685, near Chester, Pennsylvania; married
2 mo. (April) 27, 1662, to Jane Moor, perhaps a sister to Daniel Moor, of
Hankelow, born 163S, died near Chester, Pa., 9 mo. 1. 1722. Issue:
2. Phebe, b. at Mearemore, 10 mo. 20, 1663 ; d. near Chester, Pa., 4 mo. 2, 16S5,
unmarried.
_ 3. John, b. at Blakenhall, 11 mo. 16, 1666 ; married Hannah Pennell.
4. Thomas, b. at Hatherton, 11 mo. 2, 1668 ; d. at sea 5 mo. 17, 1682.
5. James, b. at Hatherton, 1 mo. 5, 1670-1 ; married Mary Edge and Mary Lewis.
6. Caleb, b. at Hatherton, 2 mo. 22, 1673 ; d. near Chester, Pa., 7 mo. 17, 16S6, from
the bite of a snake.
7. Jane, b. at Hatherton, 6 mo. 13, 1676 ; d. near Chester, Pa., 3 mo. 28, 1685.
8. Joseph, b. at Hatherton, 9 mo. 28, 1678; married Lydia Lewis.
Among- the Friends' records in Cheshire we find the burials of Thomas
Moore, 5 mo. 30, 1658, and Joshua Moores, 4 mo. 1, 1659, at Over

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

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':

Recorded in Phila. 3 mo. 25, 16S5 ; E 1. vol. 5, p. 61.
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.
JOHN SHARPLES-. jq
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
ist 2d day in y* ist weeke of ye ioth moneth, 16S4:" "Robert Taylor,

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

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
84
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.

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,
1692 : lohn Sharpies & Hannah Pennell Layd their intention of marriage
before this meeting, beingr the second time: all things beinor found cleare
concerning them they are referred to their Liberty to proceed according to
the order of Truth."

17. Daniel, b. 12 mo. 24. 1710-11 ; d. 8 mo. 17. 1775 : m. Sarah Coppock.
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.
Elizabeth, b. : d. ; m. Josiah Taylor, 1690.
Hannah, b. 7 mo. 23. 1673 : d. 10 mo. 31. 1721 : m. John Sharpies.

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
the sd John Sharpies, Hath Remised Released & .or ever quit claimed unto

Sharpies, the father's Estate lately made by the mediacon of certain freinds :

"Sealed & delivered in the prsence of " the mark of , — * — ,

i
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
Acknowledged A Deed for one hundred Acres of land to John Sharply ;
the land lying In the Township of Neither Providence, the deed beareing
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,
go
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
bought for that purpose; the situateing of which, as allso ye manner of
Building the same, is left to their discretion, And that this meeting do
defray the charge of the same, so that it exceed not one hundred pounds ;
and that there be one conveniant chimney at least, and that the sd John
Bristow & Caleb Pusey do give account of what they have done at ye next

Walter ffaucet and Randall Vernon to goe to these y' subscribed to the
building the meeting house, that they forth with bring their pay unto
Caleb's mill & make report at ye next months meeting."

shillings that he saith he' Lent toward building ye meeting house. & paying
CHESTER MEETlSu.

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
house at Chester, and also to receive ye Deed of ye Land the sd house

and also to bring the sa Deed." Second mo. 2, 1694 : " In pursuant to the
order of last months meeting John Bristow brought in the Deed of the
meeting house, as allso his account of his disburstments for Building
ye same, & this meeting orders John Simcocke to keep the Deed till
farther order." &c.
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.

John Edge with his wife Jane and family, emigrated from St. Andrew's
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 :
Sarah, m. 16S6 to Thomas Bowater, and d. 2 mo. 26, 1692.
Joseph, not known to have married.
Mary, m. to James Sharpies.

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

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^ :

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.
WILL OF JAMES SHARPLES.
"The twenty eight Day of the fifth month, (called July,) in the Year
one Thousand seven Hundred Thirty four, I, James Sharpies of Nether
Providence in the County of Chester and Province of Pensylvania, yeoman,
Being in health of Body and of Perfect mind and memory, thanks be given
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
Lydia, Mary, James, Rachel, Sarah, David and Esther ; and as for those
that are yet unmarried I Leave my Wife to Give them or any of them
What she shall see meet : and my Will is that all my Just Debts that I
shall owe at my Desease, with my funerall Expences, be first paid &
Discharged, The same to be Levied and Raised out of my Estate by my
Wife, Mary, and Samuel Levis, yeoman, both of Chester County, aforesaid,

"Signed, Sealed, Published, Pronounced ' — , —
and Declared by the said James
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
(116)
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
first days & week days meeting be removed from Thomas Minchall's to
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.

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

Sharply Acknowledged A Deed To Joseph Sharplye for three Hundred
Acres of land lying in Midletowne, the Deed Bareing Date the ninth
day o\ June, 1696.''
This deed never having been recorded it is thought proper to give it
here in full :

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."

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
JOSEPH SHARPLES-\ , 2 5
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
126
THE SHARPLESS FA MI I. Y.
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:
" From Chester Monthly Meeting, held att Providence meeting house,

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,

In Pennsalvainia
These.
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:
"Be it Remembered that on the Nineteenth day of May, Anno Dom.,

At a Quarterly Meeting held 3 mo. 3, 16S6: "Agreed y* a meeting

Coppocks, for ye ease of such y1 live westerly in ye woods, and ye rest of
friends living ye other way, upon y' same day, to meet at ffrancis Stanfields

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

At Randall Vernon's, 12 mo. 5, 1699-700: "Whereas the friends

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.

Marriage Certirk Henrv Howard ro Hannah Sharples
mi, i
LINE OF HANNAH3.J0HX:.
'o/
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

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.

George Ashbridge arrived at Philadelphia, 5 mo. 5, 1698, as re-
corded in the family Bible, a large book, 20 by 13 inches and 4^ inches thick,
printed 1716, presented to Friends' Library, on Cherry Street, Philadelphia,
by Sarah Ashbridge. George Ashbridge, of " Edgmond " and Mary Malin,
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
daughter of Randall Malin, of Upper Providence, from Great Barrum in
Cheshire, Eng. She died 2 mo. 15, 172S, and he m. again 1 mo. 6,

Meeting, 12 mo. 31, 1759:
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."
At Chester Mo. Mtg., 11 mo. 30, 1748-9, "Alice Commings is chosen

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 :

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 :

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

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."

64. Susannah, b. Oct. 21, 1735 ; d. Apr. 12, 1S10: ra. Elnathan Davis.
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
14S THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
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

Marriage Certipioate Daniel Sharples to Sarah Coim<kk
l.m M. inch April IStl i i .
LINE OF DANIELS, JOHN'. I49
Daniel Williamson, and had three daughters, Mary, m. to Richard Wood-
ward ; Deborah, m. to William West, an uncle of the celebrated painter
Benjamin West, and Hannah, b. 10 mo. 9, 16S4. who m. her cousin Robert
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.
Sarah, b. 7 mo. 22, 1712 ; m. Daniel Sharpies.
Esther, b. 10 mo. 12, 1714: m. Seth Pancoast, 3 mo. 21, 1741.
Martha, b. 11 mo. 2. 17 16-17.
Daniel Sharpies was appointed an overseer of Chester Mtg., 1 1 mo.
2S, 1757, in room of John Sharpies, released, and was succeeded by William
i;o THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
Starr, 9 mo. 24, 1762 : again appointed 9 mo. 30, 1765, and succeeded by
James Barton 9 mo. 23, 176S. In 175S he became one of the trustees for
Chester Meeting, and in 1759 was appointed a trustee for a school lot, in
which stations he continued until his death.
Sarah Sharpies was chosen overseer for Chester Mtg., 5 mo. 30, 1757,
with Jane Bezer, instead of Elizabeth Sharpies : appointed with others, 4 mo.
24. 175S. to visit families: appointed Elder 5 mo. 29, 175S, in addition to
Grace Lloyd, for Chester Mtg.: succeeded by Elizabeth Sharpies, 6 mo.
27, 1763, as overseer: appointed with others 9 mo. 23, 1763, to visit
families. On 8 mo. 27, 1764. Elizabeth and Sarah Sharpies and Agnes
Minshall are appointed to revise the women's minutes, and Sarah Sharpies
to record them. Sarah Sharpies was chosen overseer with Elinor Harrison
S mo. 27, 1772, instead of Esther Hoskins : appointed with others 1 mo.
27> 1777- to pay a general visit to all the families of this monthly meeting :
appointed with others 12 mo. 29, 1777, to join men friends in discouraging
" the too frequent use of Spirituous Liquors and visit those that keeps
Houses of Publick entertainment:" appointed 3 mo. 30, 1778, to join the
committee on reformation : succeeded by Hannah Sharpies as overseer 4
mo. 26, 17S6: with others appointed 11 mo. 27. 1 7S6, to visit the prepara-
tive meetings, and 11 mo. 28, 1790, to visit families.
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

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
road, from Crum Creek westward.
In 1764 James Sharpies^ was assessed in Nether Providence with 160
acres and buildings, worth ^15 per annum ; 40 acres of uncultivated land,
at £6 per 100 ; £$ per annum, ground rent ; 3 horses, 3 cows and 3 sheep.
His tax amounted to £\ : 6, and he was appointed to collect the tax for
that year. On Oct. 16, 1766, he and Elizabeth his wife conveyed to John
Hinkson of N. Providence, yeoman, the 40 acres on the south side of the
Philadelphia road, and on Mar. 13, 1770, they sold to Elisha Jones, of
Springfield, yeoman, one acre and twelve perches, on the north side of the
road at Crum Creek bridge.
158 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
Elizabeth Sharpies was chosen overseer of Providence Meeting, 8 mo.
28, 1 751. instead of Judith Broom, and was succeeded by Ann Vernon, 3
mo. 24, 1755. She was living- in 1775, but the date of her death is unknown.
The will of James Sharpies was dated Feb. 18, 1775, and proven June

The inventory of personal estate, Sept. 15, 1775, by James Crozer
and Caleb Davis; amounted to £125 : 1 : 7.
21. Rachel Sharpies3, "ye Daughter of ye above Said James
Sharpies, was born at neither Providence ye ninth day of ye fifth month,
and it was ye Sixth day of ye weeke, 1708," and was married 8 mo. 17,
172S, at Providence Mtg., to Thomas Dell, of Ridley, where they
settled. She died at the age of about 30 years. Their children are said
to have been six in number (1st ed.) but only the following are named :
91. Abraham, probably died young.

Edward, b. 2 mo. 24, 1704 ; d. 5 mo. 20, 1704.
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
160 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
Ridley, containing together 157 acres, being part of the 260 acres already
mentioned. Thomas Dell, senior, by will, 8 mo. 31, 1749, devised the
messuage where he lived and about 108 acres to grandsons, Thomas and
Samuel Swayne, for twenty-five years, and then to the two daughters, Sarah
and Mary, of his son Thomas, deceased.
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.
22. Sarah Sharpies3, " ye Daughter of ye Above Said James

Richard Woodward1, with Jane, his wife, settled in Thornbury
township, where he purchased 230 acres of land from John Simcock, by
deed of 1 mo. 6, 16S7. In 1698 he conveyed this land to his sons, Richard
and Edward, and removed to a purchase of 250 acres in Middletown, where
he died 10 mo. 7, 1706, aged about 70 years. His widow was alive in 1 7 1 5.

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 :

1 64 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
William Taylor1 and his brother, Peter, came from Sutton in

John and Margaret Jarman of Radnor, b. 9 mo. 16, 1690. They settled on

1720.
Peter, Jr., died March, 1739-40, and his widow was married 4 mo. 15,

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

Richard Gorman was received into membership at Providence
Meeting, 10 mo. 30, 1745. He produced an acknowledgment, 4 mo. 25,

complained of 5 mo. 29, 1758, on account of a debt to Daniel Sharpies, and

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

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,

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
L IX E OF NA THA M, JOSEPH'. , - -
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

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.

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,

received one from Concord 9 mo. 6, 1756, to Goshen, and thence to

9 mo. 25, 1772, with children Mary, Esther, Abraham and Rebecca, but
returned to Chester with one dated 7 mo. 5, 1775, with children Mary,
Esther, Abraham and Rebecca. The inventory of the estate of Abraham
LINE OF JACOBS, JOSEPH'. jjg
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

which belonged to John Sharpies, son of Jacob, contains this record of
"Charles & Susanna Blakey's children:"
John Blakey's Nativity, Old Style, March 21st 1724.
My sister Ann Sharpies*, her do., about the year 17:7.
Susanna Blakey, her do., not known.
At Goshen Mo. Mtg., 3 mo. 20, 1745: "Ann Blakey Requesteth to
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.

They had two children, —

Wistar.
190. William, b. 1750, of whom no further trace has been discovered. The edition of

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
desk, to be kept for him until he arrive to the age of twenty-one years :
remainder of estate to be divided between Abraham and a child yet
unborn : wife and brother Samuel Sharpies to be executors.
The inventory, by William Trimble and Joseph Gilpin, near three
pages, amounts to ^470 : 8 : 6, including ^292 : 9 : 1 1, in bonds and bills.
Of books there were 'Life of our Saviour," £1, "George Fox's Epistle,"

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
and Newtown, whereon the latter resided ; after which the same was to be
divided between John, Peter and Richard Howard. In 1 764 John Howard

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.

Richard Howard received a certificate from Chester Mo. Mtg. to
Philadelphia, dated 7 mo. 31, 175S, and brought one back to Chester,
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

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

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

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.

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

patented 12 mo. 6, 1685. This was about a mile from Springfield Meeting,
on the road to Clifton. Francis afterward purchased 510 acres in Willis-
town township, adjoining the line of Edgmont, and extending westward
from Crum Creek nearly two miles. He was a member of the Provincial
Assembly in 171 1, and died in 1721. He was married in 1686 to Hannah

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.
58. Benjamin Hibberd4, Phebe3, b. in Willistown 8 mo. 25, 1740;
d. 4 mo. 14, 1819; m. 10 mo. 19, 1769, at an appointed meeting in Willis-
town, to Mary Garrett, b. in Willistown ; d. 4 mo. 19, 181 1 ; dau. of Isaac
Garrett3 (William2, William1,) and Elizabeth Hatton, of Willistown. They
had five children,

303. Orpah, b. 2 mo. 18, 1782 ; d. 7 mo. 31, 1827, unmarried.
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.

202 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
As a cabinet-maker Isaac Thomas made the old-fashioned long eight-day
clocks which are now much sought after as relics and specimens of antique
furniture. Caleb Hibbard (the son ?) also made some of them early in
this century.

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.

He removed to Virginia in 1799, and took up the fine bottom land lying on
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
about 1808, or early in 1809 ; when the writer was 80 years of age.

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
2o8 THE SHARPLESS FA MIL Y.
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.

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.

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.

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

Counsel to those that are or may be in need thereof, at this time of

Daniel Sharpies, Abraham Pennell, Sarah Sharpies, Hannah Sharpies, and
others, were appointed 3 mo. 30, 1 778. to join with a committee of the

Furniture."
At Chester Monthly Meeting 3 mo. 31, 1783: —
" Chester Preparative Meeting informs this Meeting that there is four Lotts or pieces of

several Trustees for the use of Friends belonging to said Meeting : that some of the said
Trustees are Deceas'd, some disowned & some removed away out of the verge of said meeting :
that according to the powers granted in three of the Deeds of Trust, among other things it is
provided and Expressed that when any of the said Trustees should depart this life, are Disowned
or remove away, that the Preparative Meeting at Chester should chuse or appoint others in
their room or stead. Therefore the Preparative Meeting appoints for the burying ground Lott
Daniel Sharpies, Tristram Smith & Daniel Pederick in the room or stead of Edwd Russell,
Samuel Howell & Daniel Sharpies, who are all Deceas'd ; and for the schoolhouse Lott Daniel
Sharpies, Tristram Smith & Dan1 Pederick, in the room or stead of Joseph Hoskins & Daniel

Preston and John Fairlamb, who are deceas'd, and James Barton, who is Disown'd : and as to
the Lott whereon the Meeting House stands, by the Deed executed by the Trustees for the
same the Monthly Meeting is empowered to appoint ; Therefore in pursuance thereof this
Meeting appoints Daniel Sharpies, Tristram Smith & Daniel Pederick in the room or stead of
Jonathan Cowpland and Thomas Sharpies, who are Disown'd, & Edward Russell, who is
Deceas'd."

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

was caused by an accident at the mill.) His widow m. 12 mo. 1, 1779,

John Haines "of Ancocas Creek," Burlington Co., N. J., was a

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

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

married (St. Michael's and Zion Church record) June i, 1766, but nothing

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,

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.

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.

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
sheep, 2 sen-ants and one negro. In 1774, he had 750 acres, grist and

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

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

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.

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,

and two children embarked for Pennsylvania. They landed at New Castle

♦James A. Sharpless, of Keyser, Mineral Co., W. Va., b. at Elk Garden Feb. I, 1844 (m. Carrie A.
Nesbitt), is the son of Jesse Sharpless, d. 1883, and Catharine Dixon of Piedmont, and grandson of Aqnilla (b.
about 1796) and Sarah Sharpless. Jesse always spoke of his grandfather as coming from the eastward, among
the first settlers ; and later in life passing on westward, leaving only his son Aquilla, who was born there. Jesse
had brothers William and others, not named. Perhaps his grandfather may have been a son of Jesse (No. 104).

Philadelphia previous to her marriage, and on recommendation of Friends
there, her acknowledgment for marriage by a priest, to one not a member,
was accepted 'by Chester Mo. Mtg., 12 mo. 26, 1765. A certificate to
Philadelphia was given her, 5 mo. 26, 1766, and she brought one back to
Chester, 12 mo. 26, 1774; about which time they probably settled on her

Haines, b. 6 mo. 13, 1745, d. 181 5, dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth Haines
of Kennet, Chester County. They had no children. He received a
certificate from Chester Mo. Mtg., to Concord, 8 mo. 26, 1765 ; thence to
Kennet, 6 mo. 7, 1769 ; thence to New Garden, 7 mo. 16, 1778.

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
Meeting by Friends of Chester Monthly Meeting. The children of Joseph

session of Elizabeth (Pratt) Darlington ; also a book entitled " Eden, or A
Complete Body of Gardening," printed 1757. For their marriage "by 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
and Elizabeth, besides two who died in infancy, were —

took one to Philadelphia, 8 mo. 31, 1786. With three children, Joseph,
James and Hannah, they produced one to Darby, 10 mo. 4, 17S7, and
obtained one thence to Chester 5 mo. 2, 1799, with children Joseph, James
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

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,

1797. He settled near Sunbury about 1795, and followed the milling
business in company with Robert Coburn, for about two years, and for a
few years after in company with his nephew, Enos Sharpies. About 1805,

he moved to Catawissa and bought a farm, on which an addition to the
town is now being built. In 1S09, ne bought a grist mill near Catawissa,
and in 18 12, in company with John Clark, built a paper mill at the same
place, which was destroyed by fire in 1S83. He quit milling about 1835,
and moved into Catawissa, where he died. A life-long member of the

themselves and two children. Edith was appointed an overseer for
Redstone Mtg., 6 mo. 3, 1808, and Jonathan was doubtless a useful
member, but the record has not been obtained. She was succeeded by
Agnes Vail 12 mo. 31, 1813. From Ellis's History of Fayette County we
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

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

"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright. For the end of that
///an is peace."
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
re* eived a good person, and rare beauty of features; but being, early in life, brought under the
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

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."

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.

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.
[First edition, p. 101.]
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.

indisposition of mind." Although his aberration was but temporary they
never renewed their enorao-ement, and he married Hannah Stalker, 1 2 mo.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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."

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,

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.

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
280 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.
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
this name is intended, is uncertain. At Quarterly Meeting, 6 mo. 2, 1686:
■" Agreed y' ye meeting at Francis Stanfields, upon fresh consideration be
Removed to Bartholomew Coppock's ye younger, to begin ye next first day
and yc 4th day folowing untill freinds se cause to remove it."
Third mo. 4, 1696: "This meeting Consents yl the meeting at
Bartholomew Coppocks be setteled every first and 3d day." Two years
later the mid-week meeting was altered to the 5th day.
Twelfth mo. 6, 1698-9 : " The friends belonging to Springfield meeting
propose their intentions of building a meeting-house at their grave yard,
which this Quarterly meeting consents unto."

At Chester Monthly Meeting, 8 mo. 25, 1703: "Memorandum, that

The name of Springfield first appears in the account of collections, 1 2
mo. 24, 1 700-1, and the monthly meeting was held in that meeting-house
3 mo. 26, 1 701.
At Quarterly Meeting, 6 mo. 13, 1739, it was ordered that £1%, should
be paid to Friends of Springfield, to help them to defray the charge of
rebuilding their meeting-house ; the same being the interest on Joseph
Need's donation, and paid by his request.

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,

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

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
meeting, was missing. He followed the troops and soon found the animal,

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.

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

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.]

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.

341- Richard Howell5, Sarahs born, according to the best
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.

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.

appointed that he should use his freedom to improve his gifts by speaking

in public on Sabbath days, and at other times and places as occasion might
require, or offer to him." The following document is in possession of his
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.

yeoman, he purchased from Charles Norris and wife two adjoining farms in
Providence, on the south side of the James Sharpies tract, for ^860.
Towards the close of that year he was assessed in Nether Providence with
200 acres of land, and buildings, worth ^16, per annum, 3 horses, 4 cattle,
10 sheep and 2 servants. At Chester Mo. Mtg., 1, 27, 1766, his wife

discipline, for which he made an acknowledgment; but on 11, 27, 17S0, it
was represented that he " hath paid all fines demanded of him, and
endeavours to Justify himself therein." He was therefore disowned 1, 29,
1 78 1. Mary Trego was disowned by Goshen Mo. Mtg., 2, 9, 1781, for
attending music and dancing at night. Joshua settled in West Chester
and became one of the most useful citizens of that borough. His business
was that of a surveyor and conveyancer, but he took part in all public
measures : was burgess and treasurer of the town, county commissioner,
1818-1821, and clerk to the board of Directors of the Poor, from 2, 20.

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.

day, and an active participant in the border troubles with Maryland. She
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
occurred about 17S4. Her son Elisha was perhaps the first resident
lawyer of Chester, who was a native of the county. David Price m. II, 14,

Elizabeth was disowned by Chester for her marriage, 6, 28, 1784, but they
were admitted again in 1786, and took a certificate to Haverford the same

He took the real estate of his father at the appraisement, consisting of over
750 acres, with grist and saw mills, in Middletown, 100 acres in Aston and
265 acres in Fallowfield, Chester Co., Pa. The other heirs executed a

Dell 206 acres in Middletown and 100 acres in Aston ; also to Nathan
Sharpless and wife, and Esther Pennell, the grist and saw mill, and sixty

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

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."

his Brethren, | set forth in | A pleasing and instructive manner ; | and

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.
LINE OF BENJAMINS, JOSEPH'. 393
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.

Thomas Garrett was one of the most noted of those unselfish citizens
who gave freely of their time and means to assist the poor and oppressed
to a land of freedom. His house was one of the principal stations of the
so-called Underground Railroad, and it is said that nearly twenty-nine
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
friends, with which to carry on his business, that of a dealer in iron and

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

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

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

the cause was one that could benefit humanity. He was one of the prominent founders of the
"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.

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.

Albin was a farmer and resided for some time on a farm belonging- to
Robert Pennell, in Thornbury. In 1S27, he moved to a farm of Mark
Pennell, then a minor, and in 1837, purchased the Mercer farm at Thornton,
which had been in the Mercer family a long time and the house very old.
Isaac Mercer, who married Phebe Pyle (No. 2464). was the last Mercer
proprietor. In 1845, Bethlehem M. E. Church was organized, and Albin
Pyle, by deed of Mar. 26, 1846, gave a lot at the X. E. corner of his farm,
to Israel Pyle (No. 755), and others, trustees, upon which a building was
erected. Albin, as a given name, appears to have been derived from
James Albin, who died Sept. 29, 1750, aged 41, and was buried at
Concord P. E. Church. By some the name is written "Alban." Children, —

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."
460
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.

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.

Iowa, 10, 6, 1862, and was buried in Kossuth Cemetery, Des Moines Co.
" Early in life she united with the M. E. Church, and through a long and
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."
He removed from Frederick Co., Va., to Highland Co., O., in 181 5, and
kept a hotel in Hillsborough one year ; thence to Monroe in the same
county and kept tavern there until his death. His widow and children
removed to Fayette Co., O.. but in 1838, emigrated to what is now the

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.

wife was issued. She escaped from her home, tied up in a feather bed,
was taken on board a small schooner in the harbor and after some days
the vessel left without her being discovered. She returned to Philadelphia,

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.

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.

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.

at Concordville, and was one of the founders of the Delaware County
Medical Society. After three or four years he removed to Philadelphia,
and became connected with the Central Dispensary for about five years.
He next became a partner with his cousin, John M. Sharpless, in the
manufacture of dye-stuffs at Chester. Since 1866, his residence has been
in West Chester, retired from the practice of his profession, except as a
consulting physician. His health was never robust, and for several years
he has spent the winters in Florida for the benefit of a milder climate. At
the time of his death he was one of the managers of the Pennsylvania
Training School, near Media, Pa. As a student of botany, in the depart-

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
yielding up his life rather than live without her. Children, —

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

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
LINE OF MARIS, HANNAH*, fOHN*, JOHN*. 935
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

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.
Bridges over the Schuylkill River at Penrose Ferry, Fairmount, Girard
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.

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.
