EVERY author has, or ought to have, a reason for his undertaking; and I conclude some wUl 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 rec&rd 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, wiU, no doubt, prove incorrect ; but I judge, correct- ness in all cases wiU 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 aU, 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- ried, I mention their marriage, and name their 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 WUliam 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 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 loth, 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 tvventy-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 : ist. 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. 5th. It is believed that the whole expense can be met by the disposal of five hundred copies at $5 per copy, amounting to $250x3, 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 $2S shall be paid by each subscriber when the list of subscribers is complete, making up a fund of J625 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 reftinded 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. loth. The undersigned are subscribers to the amount of gioo each, for the purposes and conditions above specified. Signed by J. Clemson 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 timfe 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. GILBERT COPE.

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 sniall figures attached to names, as ThomasS, 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.

THE SHARPLES FAMILY OF LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND. SHARPIES 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 barony 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. 1 272-1 307) 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.-j- 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.J 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 NeTiill, folio 404. X Whitaker's History of IVhalley, 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 townshijD 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 Manchester Directory furnishes over forty 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 a/z«j- Warde." Sometime before 1578, Janet, the * Mamecester, Chetham Society, vol. liii. f 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 FAMILY. g 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 Wood and Anne, his WIFE, FORMERLY WIFE OF ALEXANDER Ward ttlias 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 FAMIL 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 fift)'-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, i 598.* 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 S a. THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. ■ J himself and his assigns, occupied the tenement during his Hfe 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. 8 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.

(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.

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 : Anne==Jeffrey Sharples=2d Margaret Stones buried 30 March (will 1602-3) married 20 October, 1580 1580. I Richard Sharpies, Elizabeth Sharpies, Elizabeth Sharpies, buried 23 Feb. buried 27 May, 1576-7- 1577- 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 Jefifrey Sharpies held a cottage in Ribchester, in Lancashire, in 1647. (See Church Survey, Record Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, vol. i. 201. lO 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 1815, 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: i. 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: i. Christiana, who married the Rev. Mr. Knowles, died 1826 ; 2. Jane, married Mr. Mackie ; 3. Mary, 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. M ■^^0m ^t rM SHARPIES OF FRECKLETON. DUGDALE, in his Visitatiotts 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 ever)- 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 William 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 Januarj-, 1562-3 ; a son of his was buried 23 January, 1540-1, 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 * John Harland, MSS. t Inq- Post- Mort. Record Office. (11) 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 1591, 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 kinsmin, 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 of 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, mort. 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 16 10), 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, 160 1-2, aged ninety-five. The John Sharpies, of Freckleton, who purchased the advowson of Kirkham, in 1591, 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, 1644, 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 * Hist. Kirkham, Chetham Soc, xz\\. faszim. THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. 13 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 Whinings, in the parish of Rispham, in Lancashire, and Edward Veale, in "his will dated 25 November, 1650, left " ten shillings to his son-in-law, George Sharioles."

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 (IS) i6 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. dawn of the bi-centennial year, 1882. About the first of the sixth month (June) of that year, a circular was prepared, to which several prominent members of the family attached their names. The following is a copy of the circular : "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 Hneage. 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: "Sewanee, Tennessee, July 24, 1882. "My Dear Sir: Your letter ha.s 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. 1 8 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. 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 beeii 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. AH 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. 8-24-1 882. THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. jg For a few invited guests (not members of the family) badges of pink satin were provided ; on tliese 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 W. 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, 1882." 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 N'ezvs, published at West Chester, Pa., August 25, 1882 : In 1682, 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 FAMIL 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 cdmfort common to such an occasion. At the head of all this work our townsman, J. Clemson Sharpless, was conspicuously active and energetic, and to his energy and executive abilities much credit is due for the very successful observance of this day, so rich in historic lore to every member of this well-known, influential and prosperous family. Large baskets, with snow white cloths, bespoke an ample provision of good things to tempt the inner man, and, as each new arrival reached the THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. 2 1 grounds, they were carefully taken charge of, and in the rounds of hand- shaking and cheerful greetings the scene was such as is only seen when long-separated friends again join hearts and hands at the family altar. Up to high noon the stream of visitors, relatives and participants continued to pour into the grounds from all directions, and amid the many greetings prominent was heard the exclamation, " Why I never before knew that you were a Sharpless !" Members of the various family branches carefully and enthusiastically compared their respective family-trees, and thus the kin found unlooked- for enjoyment in meeting those whom they never had met before and with whom they had never realized' any existing kindred tie. The committee of arrangements gathered together at about eleven o'clock in the old dwelling on the grounds and held a conference for making such changes and additions to the programme as were deemed necessary. The fast increasing multitude proved that the most sanguine expectations of those foremost in getting up the event were being more than realized and success in every particular was assured. Upon the sloping lawn benches from a near by meeting-house had been placed, and upon these hundreds took occasion to rest and enjoy little tete-a-tetes. 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 direcdy 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 Foriiter." " Dwellers in Peace" and " Pioneers for Conscience." 22 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. And, too, the work of registering the members of the family required no Httle 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 FAMIL V. 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 Penn, 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 FA MIL V. 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 fteld 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 esl, 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 SHAKPLESS 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 Nainenbuch, "old Dutch name book," by Forstemann : "It is a most complete, solid, and trustworthy work, extremely well an-anged 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 m 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 SHARPLESS FAMILY. 27 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 spiritualism could screen them from the wrath of judges, bishops and legislators. They 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 Sufferings ; 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 for one month's absence from their parish church and fined tive^ity poimds. 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 unity, 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 28 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. lived six weeks or more until better protection could be had in a cabin of their erection against this Rock. Yon house upon the rising ground erected by Joseph, the youngest son, attests his skill as carpenter of that early period. Here in the wilds with roving Indians around them, but from whom they probably received kind acts, because their better nature had as yet been only appealed to, and fresh in their memory were the published purposes of the coming Governor, who, in a letter dated twenty-first of second month, 1682, addressed to them, says : " This I send to assure you of my love and desire you to love my friends; and when the great God brings me among you, I intend to order all things in such a manner that we may live in peace, one with another, which I hope the great God will incline both me and you to do. I have already taken care that none of my people wrong you ; by good laws I have provided for that purpose," etc. He also had written to a great Sachem a letter dated second month 2 1st, 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 nth 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. 29 Our immediate progenitors, although not rich in the fullest sense of worldly treasure, had treasure in a higher sense of which they could not be despoiled. A blessing rested on them, their offspring have been prospered, and it is not an uncommon remark that they compare favorably with the masses for sobriety and good citizenship. Our first ancestor had but a short tenure here. But as he had lived so as to deserve a good name, we trust that he realized in full the proverb: " A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death better than the day of one's birth." His consort died at the age of eighty-five years and three months, her zeal for her religious profession having been manifested in her old age by her walking to meeting and back, a distance of more than two miles, when she was eighty years of age, and her health and vigor are testified to by the fact that it was of preference she performed the journey on foot. John, James, and Joseph were left, and from these the whole of this family have descended. In the year 1736, Joseph removed to lands purchased by his son Benjamin of his uncle Samuel Lewis, who had obtained the patent. These lands consisted of three hundred and eighty-seven acres in West Cain Township. Joseph purchased of his son these lands, at the same time selling or exchanging one hundred and fifty acres of land in Middletown to Benjamin. As by the records in the office at West Chester, the dates of the deeds are shown to be alike, June 24, 1736. Of this land, on the 27th of January, 1743, the records show a transfer of one-half of the whole to John Taylor by Joseph. And at the same time a removal to Middletown by him, where he still held lands. The lands spoken of in West Cain are described by survey of record as by lines of lands of Evan Lewis, Richard Tranter, and Nathan Sharpies. This was probably a son of Joseph, and these then "western lands" were fields of speculation, no doubt, as those beyond the Mississippi now, in their relation to the rest. We can say little of the history of the descendants of the three brothers. They are great in number and found in every profession, every trade and business. As well might we attempt to describe a mighty oak of the forest with no limb or leaf like another, as to portray even the leading features of such diversity. So far have the branches of our family- tree extended that it needed some such an event as this to bring them to a mutual knowledge of their many relatives. Yesterday but few of those 30 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. born on Pennsylvania soil knew of their many brethren in the south, children of Elizabeth, daughter of John 3d, of whom we have a worthy representative with us — Bishop Green. There comes from Iowa the voice of many, 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 inscr'iption of that heraldic device : "Pro veritate Siiffer 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 FAiMIL Y. Then his spirit, enshrouded in shadows of night, Was quickly illumined by the true Inward Light, When he clearly discerned he must closely abide With the Spirit of Truth hence his teacher and guide. Then gathered about him such tnith-seeking men As EUwood and Pennington, Barclay and Penn. They founded a sect, and we freely must own We are reaping rich fruit from the seed they 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 tnist was reposed in the arm of the Lord. 'Twas a trust ne'er betrayed, for His arm was their stay, His finger it was that oft pointed the way. His voice that gave comfort ; they knew it was He Whose voice stilled the waves of the wild Gallilee. That our ancestor found with these worthies a place, Let us join in our thanks everyone of his race ; We own it to this, tho' deny it you may, That we've homes in this land full of blessings to-day. In this land o'er the sea, Penn was founding a State, An asylum for all, both the poor and the great, Under laws wisely framed they could worship at will, With their conscience unfettered its dictates fulfill. Two centuries have seen its prosperity grow, And millions to-day own the debt that they owe To Him, its great founder, whose wisdom has planned The best of all governments known in our land. When the monarch-like oak stood fast rooted here. And this stream slaked the thirst of the fleet-footed deer, When the fox from his lair, and the wolf from his den. Stole forth in the shadows to prowl through this glen ; 'Twas then that our ancestor came to this spot, By the side of yon rock he erected his cot, Though rude it might seem in the sight of those here, It gave shelter and comfort to all he held dear. 'Twas here with contentment and peace he was blessed, 'Twas here that he toiled, and here he found rest, While the stars o'er his head did loving watch keep. This murmuring stream sweetly lulled him to sleep. 31 32 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. 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 tlirough 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 FAMILY. 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 ist, 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 die subject of the liistory 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 Penn'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, 16S2, all but my brother Thomas, who died upon the sea. John Sharpies, my father, died in 16S5, being about the age of 6i 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 171 1.' "The last mentioned Daniel Sharpies was my grandfather. My grandmother, Sarah Sharpies, daughter of Bartholomew Coppock, was born in the year 1 7 1 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, 16S2, and loaded THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. ,^ upon their backs such things as they could carry, and set off, wending their way up through the woods, and 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 si.\ 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. f ■% 0"*''1 ''Q "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: a 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 ot 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,' 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 ancestors, and as the Hessian fly had lately destroyed the wheat crop, so that it w;is not so easy for the farmers to make a living as it had been, he came to the conclusion to improve the water-power. Accordingly, about the year 1787, 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 wa-, 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 SHARP LESS FAMILY. 07 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, 1S43, 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 SHARPLESS 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 of Darlington 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, 1684. One of 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 setders 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 Jf J the initials of John and Jane Sharpies, with a coat of arms consisting of a * Quit-rents appear to have had their origin in the feudal system, under which all the lands were supposed to Ijelong to the king, and those who occupied them were allowed to do so in consideration of personal services of various kinds, but chiefly those of a military ch.iracter. These services were not always rendered immediately to the king, but often to an intennediate 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 that the tenant goes quit or free of further service. In the course of time this institution, like many others, lost much of its original significance and at the time William Penn sold lands in his province quit-rents were probably regarded merely as a judicious method for securing a revenue. lie says, in his proposals 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." Tlie payment of quit-rents was 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 in this respect. THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. ,„ 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 John^ 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 1 688, 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 1816, 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 ceiic/l a.nd 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 40 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. imprint, London, 1697, and the inscription, " Lydia Lewis, her Book, 1703," shows it to have been her property before her marriage, in 1 704, to Joseph Sharpies. The most imposing reUc 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 1 700. 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 l^reserved. 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 earnesdy expressed the wish that this heraldic sign might have been permitted to lie buried, as he regarded it of more X ^ 7HE SHARP LESS FAMILY. 41 value to remain in obscurity than to be revived and fostered by present and future generations.

After a short stay in Philadelphia the family came to Chester, towards the close of the year 1 7 14, and in 171 7 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 1726 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 inthe Society of Friends. 42 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.

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.

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 flashing 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. 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, 16S2. In the same room were several large chairs, which some suppose were brought from England two hundred years ago by members of the family. The chairs are put together with wooden pins. In the garret were several . chests, trunks, bedstead and spinning-wheel 44 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. belonging to different members of the family, all of which are upwards of one hundred years old. In each room of the old house different articles of 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, bangs 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.

ADDRESS Ai Sharplcss Rock, Eighth Month 2-j.th, iSS^ PREPARED BY EZEKIEL HUNN, JR., ES(,>. 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 entided 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 setder as an emblem of the dignity and respectability of the name of Sharpies in the mother country, as well as of the high degree of confidence reposed by the sovereign in the ancestor to whom they were originally granted ; a dignity, respectability and confidence which it is believed have never been abused by any of the descendants of that ancestor either in England or America. With a view of obtaining some information as to the history of the family and the family arms, a correspondence was commenced in the year 1878 between Henry W. Sharpless, a prominent member of the American branch and at that time a member of the well known firm of Sharpless & Sons, Philadelphia, Pa., and Colonel Joseph Lemuel Chester, of London, England, who was undoubtedly the chief genealogical student and the highest authority in pedigrees that England or America could produce ; and the information furnished by him was incorporated in a very interesting report, especially prepared by this learned man, which report is made a part of this essay verbatim. And here let it be said that few men have even after death received such and so many tributes of well deserved praise from the people of a land they have adopted as Colonel Chester. He died in London May 29, 1S82. During his illness he was called on by Mr. (4S) THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. ^g Lowell, the American Minister, and by many distinguished Englishmen. His death was caused by internal cancer and his remains were interred in Nunhead Cemetery. Flattering obituaries appeared in TJie Times, The Academy, The Aiheiucnm and other English papers ; the Dean and the Chapter of Westminster announced their intention of erecting a memorial tablet for him in Westminster Abbey ; and full notices and complimentary articles appeared in all prominent newspapers in the United States. From this man, therefore, while he was yet able to give us the benefit of his superior knowledge and his extensive research, we have obtained the report above referred to, and as Mr. Sharpless spared no expense and Colonel Chester no trouble in obtaining the material wherewith to compile it, we have the satisfaction of knowing that it is the result of the combined effort of money, experience and industry, and that it probably exhausts the subject. There is now living in Philadelphia a widow named Mary Sharpies, who emigrated with her husband, Thompson Sharpies, to this country only a few years ago from the very locality in question, who takes an especial pride in spelling her name with one final s (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 family 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 of the Family of SiiARrLESs, 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 Shai-plcs 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 accejDted 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 ricrht, but were content to remain THE SHARPLESS FA MIL Y. 5 1 what they had been before. The rijjht, 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- quendy 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 terminadng 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 perfecdy 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 15S7, 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 how to be obtained. 52 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. We Start with the fact, abundantly proved hereafter, that John Sharpies, the emigrant to Pennsylvania in 16S2, 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 ])eriod of nearly four centuries, I 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 fiict and the chief link in the chain of circumstantial evidei.ce to be presented. This Jeffrey 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 : To be buried in Fbxton church. My goods to be divided into 3 parts, one of which I give to my wife Margaret, and one to my daughter Klizalieth; to I'homas Hopwood 20 shilUngs; to James Harper 40; to Kalherine Harper 10 shilUngs; to my brother Eicliard my best suit of apparel ; to Richard' s datighler Alice 5 shiUings and 4 pence ; to my three god-daughters each 12 pence; to Adam Stones my stag leather breeches and pair of shoes; to John Stones 40 shillings; to xwj cousin Richard Ward 10. All residue of my estate to my said wife and daughter. I appoint my wife and Richard Ward executors. I owe my uncle Alexander Ward ^5.10.0. My wife to have and enjoy half my Tenement for life, and I desire my right worshipful Master to be good to my wife and daughter, and not have my Tenement divided so long as my daughter is unmarried, and my said d:uighler i.-> not to marry without their consent. The will was proved by the executors, at Chester, on the 19th Ma)', 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 oi the goods. THE SHAH PL ESS FAMILY. ^, It is evident, therefore, that this Jeffrey Sharpies was what may be called a well-to-do yeoman. The expression " my right worshipful Master" does 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 of 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 ^vill. But on the 23d February, 1576-7, his son Richard was buried; on les, Jnhn 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 FAAflLY. 59 The will was proved at Chester, on the loth November, 16S5, m wliich year the testator had died in Pennsylvania. It is evident that John Sharpies, with a forethought nniisual in American emigrants of that period, instead of disposing of all his possessions, reserved 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, being 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 alia$ 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 points 6o THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. 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 die family of Sharpies from time immemorial and confirmed it to the representatives who claimed it, both in 1567 and 1665.

Alfred Fryer, of Elm 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 e.xjDect, which had not already been searched out by descendants who had exj^lored 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 any 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 I 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 fiice. The church has been rebuilt about 1S30. 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 Bcssc and Fox. It (^4) THE SHARPLESS FAAllL Y. 65 possesses a beautiful church with an octagonal tower. It is ancient. I send thee a photo. At Nantvvich the last wife of John Milton was buried, but at a little Baptist graveyard and 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 Sharjiles.

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 die 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 greatly concerned" them. In Ilotten'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 Coiinnoiicrs it is stated that Judith, daughter ot Armigill Sharpies, of Louth, in Lancashire, married Edward Massing- berd, Esq., baptized 15S9, and left two sons. Cuthbert Sharpies was mayor of Liverpool in 1 699. Aaron Troughton, Escp, 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. I 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, I 711, which Mark Carleton brought to Philadelphia from P^riends of Mt. Melick Meeting, in Ireland.

July 12, 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 II mo. 19, 167S, and Daniel Moor, of the same place, was buried i mo. 26, 1681. Abigail Moor, dau. of Daniel and Mary, was born 11 mo. 26, 167S. Margery does not appear to have left issue. A daughter, probably unnamed, buried at Wybunbury, Jan. 21, 1620-1. * It is proposed to xise this spelling of the name in the early generations and, so far as known, in the cases of those who still adhere to it.

Of her last husband nothing further is known and it does not appear that she had children. Rebecca, bapt. at W. Jan. 30, 1630-1 ; 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, 16S2, and settled on adjoining land, taken up on rent. She died 2 mo. 25,(?) 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.

JOHN SHARPLES-. 69 Whitley, sons of Ralph and Ehza (Elizabeth?), of Norcott or Norcett ; also of Ralph Moores, of Norcett, 11 mo. 23, 1661. Jane Moore died i mo. 27, 1671. The relationship of these to Jane Sharpies can only be con- jectured. After 1682 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, 1733. Thomas died in Newtown township, 1752, leaving a widow, Susanna. Margaret, b. Apr. 24, 1699, m.

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, loS. " CHESHIRE. "Anno 1674 and 1675.

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) 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. With the hope of greater advantages to his family, both spiritual and * The printing of tliis work has been somewhat delayed with the hope of obtaining a copy of this lease. It appears that the book refeiTed to was for some obscure reason kept in the Land ClBice 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 ofhce, 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 witli other valuable documents. JOHN SHARP LES '. 7 1 temporal, John Sharpies embraced the offers of William Penn 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 tlie transaction. A copy of the release is here given : " %\\\$ ^ttrtcatUVie, made the ffifth day of April, in the yeare of our Lord One thousand six hundred Eighty and two, And in the xxxiiii yeare of the Reigne of King Charles the Second over England, &c., ^{tll'ffHf William Penn of Worminghurst, in the County of Sussex, Esquire, of the one part, and John Sharpies of Hatherton in the County Pallatine of Chester, yeoman, of the other part.

WM PENN" "Sealed and delivered in the presence of John Martin, the mark of Wm X Corker, Harb'^ Springett." 74 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. This release was recorded 5 mo. 11, 168S, 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, wrote 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. 16S2, all but my brother Thomas who died upon the Seas the 17:5 mo. i6S2."''- The time of the arrival of the " Lion " is fixed by a certain Bible record and corroborating evidence at the 13th of 6 mo. 16S2. An interesting letter f written by Dr. Edward Jones, a passenger, dated " Skool Kill River, y^ 26th of y^ 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, y« town is to be buylded 15 or 16 miles up y« 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 y^ died of a surfeit * * * * We are short of our expectation by reason that y^ town is not to be builded at Upland, neither would y^ Master bring us any further, though it is navigable for ships of greater burthen than ours." The close coincidence in the given date of arrival, and the death of a child at sea, are the grounds for supposing that John Sharpies and family were passengers on the Lion, but it is a question whether the son Thomas, in his fourteenth year, would be referred to as a child. The records of Chester Monthly Meeting show that Thomas Powell, son of Thomas, was buried at sea " about the same time " as Thomas Sharpies, and that a child of Thomas Minshall died at sea 4 mo. 5, 1682. Dr. Smith, the historian of * The original of this account is not known to exist, but a copy made by a grandson, Daniel Sharpless, is preserved. t Contributed by Dr. J. J. Levick, to Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, iv. 314. JOHN SHARPLES'^ 75 Delaware County, 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 1 6S2 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- hned to the lowlands along the Delaware River. 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 OlofT 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 y'^ same hee seating and Improoveing s'^ Land according to his hono'' y*-' 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 setders made it desirable to get 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 conveyance for this land being quaint and somewhat historical is here given in full : "tfUiS ^lUUttturC made the Twelfth day of Septemb' in the yeare of our Lord, according to the Computation used in England, one Thousand Six hundred eightie and Two, Between Thomas Nossiter of Batcome branch, alias Wolley Still's Creeke, in the province of Pennsilvania, hus- bandman, of the one part, and John Sharpless of Batcome Branch, alias Wolley Still's Creeke, aforesaid, husbandman, of the other part, Witnesseth That the said Thomas Nossiter, for and in Considera^n of the sume of ffourtie pounds of Current English money, to him in hand paid by the said 76 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY.

J se.-\ in the presence of us, ^ Jos. Curtis. John Sharples." Richard Ingelo." Recorded in Phila. 3 mo. 25, 16S5 ; E i. 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 1682." 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, 78 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, 1682, 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 of 12 mo. (Feb. 1682-3) 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 2 th of March, but each county sent only twelve persons — three for Council and nine for Assembly. The following petition, without date, was doubdess 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-. jg 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 /th 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.

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 doubdess 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 y^ i7thofy<= 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 y^ Towne of Chester : Ordered, that the Grand Jury doe meet on y^ 22th Instant att Tho : Nositer's there to Consider of y^ Premises. JOHN SHARPLES' "The names of the Grand Jury Impanelled to looke out a Convenient High way leading from Providence to Chester, — 'James Kenela, James Saunderlaine, Thomas Nositer, Neales Lawson, John Hastings, William Oxlev, Thomas Minkshaw, John Harding, R(jeert Taylor, "VVm : Rawson, George Wood, Anthony Nelson, Michael Isard, John Child, Richard ffew, Thomas Colborne, Robert Robinson." In this day it would not be thought proper to appoint a person on a jury to la)' out a road through his own land, as was the case with Thomas Nossiter, 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 1st 2d day in y"^ ist weeke of y<= loth moneth, 1684:" "Robert Taylor, Supervisor for the High Wayes Presented Thomas Nositer for tarnning (turning) the High way from Providence to Chester. The names of the Grand Inquest ordered to Inspect the same, — Joseph Richards, William Woodmanson, John Child, John Sharply, Gilbert Williams, Thomas Powell, John Nexen, John Worell, Randolph Vernon, WoLY Rosen, William Hues, Thomas Vernome, Robert Taylor, Thomas Person, Thomas Minkshaw, Randolfe Maline, Joseph Steedman." With some other business the Court adjourned " vntill the ist 3d day of the next moneth," and the next session was held "the 6th day of the I ith moneth, 16S4," at which time it was — "Ordered, that Peter Taylor and Robert Vernome be received into the Grand Jury in the Roome of John Child and Thomas Minkshaw [Minshall], And Thomas Colborne in the Roome of John Sharply." These are the only instances in which the name of John Sharpies appears on the records of the Court, and the reason for his being set aside from the grand jury is not given. At the next Court, held 12 mo. 3, 1684, "Thomas Nositer made Over a Certaine deed unto Walter ffausett, dated the 3d day of y'= 12th moneth 1684, for a Parcell of Land lying and being on the north side of Ridly Creeke." Also, " Thomas Nositer was Presented by y*^ Grand Jury for falling of marked Trees and Blocking up the high 82 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. 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, and in that year William Edmundson, 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, 1681," 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 y^ 11 month 1681. A monthly meeting of frends belonging to marcus hooke & vpland held then at Robert Wad's house." At a Monthly Meeting held 7 mo. 11, 16S2, "It was then agreed y' a meeting shall be held for y^ service & worship of god every first day at y* court house at Vpland. And also agreed that there be three meetings in the week time ; the westerne part to meet at Chichester the 5 th 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, 1688, — "It is desired by the. meeting that all friends belonging to this meeting bring in their Cerdficates to the next monthly meedng ; and those that have none, to come to the said meeting and sadsfy 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 BartholomeAV 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.

JOHN SHARPLES- «3 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 acres 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. 24° E., 52 perches; then N. 65° and a half E., 45 perches; then N. 24° W., 52 perches; then S. 65° 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, 725^ feet north of Race Street — no number of feet or date of survey given, but possibly 171^ 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 SHARPLESS FAMILY. Returns thereof Into the Secretary's Office. Given at Philad'\ y^ 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 : y" 9th of }•' month, 1685 I' An appraisment made of y'' eastate of John Sharpies of y= county of Chester latly deceaced by vs whose names are herevnto it subcribed being y^ appraysers of y° said count)', which said appraysment is as followeth ; (viz) for his wearing apparell .... for ip/^ yards of cloth & for new tiking for 5 & >^ yards of serge & 2 yards of Kersey for 23 yards of camlett & 20 yards of flaxen cloth . for 5 yards of holand & 2 remnants more of linen cloth for 4 & >^ yards of dimetee & one peece of firett Ribon for butens & filletting, a sadle & pillion for a bed, bedsted blankets & sheets & bolsters for one bed for annother bed bedsted & blankets for annother bed bedsted blankets & sheets, &c. for 2 blankets more & 2 bolsters & a pillow for 7 & ^ yards of round [?] tiking for 6 & 3^ yards of hukellback for a parcell of new Shoes & for torah [or terall ?] flax for a paire of sheets & for torall hemp for a fish nett & a cuting knife & 4 old reaping hooks for 2 spits & for wheat & buckwheat in y^ vper room for plate & 2 bushell of Indian & 1 1 cheshiere cheeses for 5 sacks & for lumber in y= vper room . for a set of harow teeth & a chafing dish & 8 lb of steell for 4 locks plains & a paire of old boot legings for Pheebee's wearing apparell for more wheat .... for a bed bedsted curtains sheets & blankets, &c. for 3 turkey workt cushins caried over 69 : 16 : 06 15 00 10 00 18 GO 10 00 09 GO 06 00 10 00 15 06 15 06 °3 00 03 OG OS OG JOHN SHARPLES' 85 Brought over for a paire of sheets a paire of drawers a white wast coate & a childs coate . for sheets table linen pillow bears [?] & 2 yards of holand for a remnant of callico & 4 shirts for 16 lb of new pewter for 33 pound of old dito . for a brase warming pan & 4 brase pans for one old dito pan & 3 old kitels & 2 frying pans for 4 shovels 2 dung picks 6 iron hoops & some scrape Iron for cart wheels and 2 shirs 2 coulters 3 old siths 4 saks 2 bags one winowing sheet & woorking tools a cart roap a pa small brase kittell a bridle & a desk . for a small brase ladle & porke & beefe & a brase morter for chests tubs chirns a spining wheell & other lumber in y'= iner room for 2 pots 3 kitles a small skillott & a brase skimer for a fire shovell & tongs &c in y'= kichin chimney for a paill a tin pan 6 nogens & other lumber in y'= kichin . for 4 bush of english salt & a parcell of old Iron things in a chest for a maull Steell mill & 2 chains of iron & other old- Iron things for 5 old suas [?] 2 Iron rakes & 2 tubs & a grindstone & winles for 3 ploughs & a cart & a harow & an oxe yoake & iron traces & other horse harnes ........ for corn in y° barn 9 "^* = 10* & corn in y'= ground 14 'J* is all 23 '.^' = 10^ . for y" cleard land with fencing & y'= dwelling house barn & other buildings for 226 acres of uncleared land at home for a horse 2 mares & a colt & an oxe a cow & a heifer for swine ...... for 630 acres of land taken up in y" woods for 330 accres of purchased land untaken up for dpts [debts] ..... for cash ...... 16 :o6 05 : 00 00 : 06 17 : 00 02 : 00 : 00 01 : oS : 00 13 : 06 06 : 06 00 00 00 : 05 : 00 02 : 00 : 00 01 : 00 : 00 01 ; 01 : 00 3 : 00 : 00 23 : 10 : 00 65 : 00 : 00 45 : 00 : 00 28 ; 00 : 00 OS : 00 : 00 63 : 00 : 00 1 6 : 00 : 00 01 ; 16 : 00 totall 359 : 17 ; 00 Witnes our hands : the mark of R.

J 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 1714, when offices were again established in the other counties. The records of the early office in Chester County are probably lost. 85 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. " Att an Orphans' Court held att Chester y<^ 6th day of y^ ist moneth 1687:" "Ordered, that Jane Sharpies give in Security to this Court faithfullj and Truely to discharge her trust as Administatrix to her Deseacc' Husband, John Sharpies." "Att an Orphans' Court held y<= 3d day in y« istWeekeof y"-' 8t moneth, 168S :" "Jane Sharpies being called came into Court and made appear by Thomas Brasie and Jacob Simcocke, Register, that Shee had given in Security to y«= Registry of this County according to law in the behalfe of y'= 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 marriclge before this meeting, 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 Sharpies-, John', 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. r ■ Ct n^ n^' '^ n^ O^ Q^ ffrSLCLk £<. ■^ -. w l^y^ ' >.;!„ ,;?.^ ,,,,,.;^ Hannah Pennell. JOHN SHARPLESK 87 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 y"^ next months meeting." "At a monthly meeting held at Walter ffaucet's the 7th of the 9th month, 1692 : John Sharpies & Hannah Pennell Layd their intention of marriage before this meeting, being the second time : all things being found cleare concerning them they are referred to their Liberty to proceed according to the order of Truth."

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, 16S9. Elizabeth, b. ; d. ; m. Josiah Taylor, 1690. Hannah, b. 7 mo. 23, 1673; d. 10 mo. 31, 1721 ; m. John Sharpies. Joseph, b. 10 mo. 12, 1674; d. 9 mo. 30, 1756; m. Alice Garratt. James, b. 9 mo. 11, 1676; probably died young.

Robert Pennell was appointed constable of Middletown 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, setded in Edgmont township, and had the following children : Hannah, b. 11 mo. 4, 1702; d. 6 mo. 21, 172S; m. Joseph Jackson. Robert, b. 6 mo. 20, 1704; d. i mo. 9, 1726, unmarried. Joseph, b. 6 mo. 3, 1706 ; d. 1728, immarried. Alice, b. 8 mo. 2, i 709 ; d. young. Ann, b. 8 mo. 2, 1711 ; d. i mo. 25, 1802 ; 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 administrat'x 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 s"* John Sharpies, Hath Remised Released & lor ever quit claimed unto the said John Sharpies All her Right Title Interest Claim & demand what- soever of in & to the Two hundred & forty acres of Land within menconed, with all the Improvem*^ & ap^^tenances thereto belonging, now in the Tenure of him the said John in pursuance to a certain division of the s"* Jo" Sharpies, the father's Estate lately made by the mediacon of certain freinds : JOHN SHARPIES' 89 iO ImV( and fa bald the s"^ Two hundred & forty acres of Land & premises w'^ the ap^.tenances, unto the s'' John Sharpies his heirs & assigns, To the use of him the said John Sharpies his heirs & assigns for ever ; Reserving unto her the s"* Jane her Thirds of the s"^ Land & p'mises Dureing her life, If she require the same. In witnes whereof she hath hereunto set her hand & seal the ninth day of the ffourth month Ano. Dni. 1696. "Sealed & delivered in the p'sence of " the mark of John Croxton. Jane (J.) Sharples." John fawcit." Prior to this John Sharpies had purchased from Joshua "Hastinges" 40 acres in Nether Providence, adjoining the homestead, by deed of 4 mo. 10, 1691 ; of which the price was £12,. 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. 18, 1702. The next day Joshua " Hastinges " of the city of Philadelphia, yeoman, for ^53 (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 y^ lothof y* first month, 1696-7." This lot was assigned by John Sharpies, 12 mo. 4, 1699, to his brother Joseph. William Swarfur (or Swaffer), for £2)~'^7^-A^^ i" 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 i^atented May 7, 1 704, to William Swaffer, who had married her daughter, Mary Caldwell. Aug. 26, 17 12, 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, 90 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 16S5 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 Digg 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 doubdess 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 surveyor 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 Philad=^ the 21st day of the 12th Month, 1 700-1. "To Edward Penington, Surveyor Generall of j William Penn." the Province of Pennsylv^ 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 ist 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 SHARPLES^. ^I 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 14^ 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 i 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 y*^ oversears for y*^ 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 of Caleb Pusey and John Sharpies, who desire to be released Ninth mo. 25, 1 71 7, John Sharpies is appointed an elder in the room of Caleb Pusey. 92 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. Second mo. 25, 1720, 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). Filth mo. 29, 1723, he is succeeded by Thomas Vernon as overseer. Second mo. 27, 1724, he is succeeded by Thomas Vernon 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: ffishborn & hannah Sharpells are Chosen overseers for Chester Meeting." The latter is succeeded by Katherine Fairlamb 6 mo. 25, 1707. First mo. 30, 1713, "Hannah Sharpells is Chosen overseer for Chester Meeting along 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 : WILL OF JOHN SHARPLES. The twentyth second day of the third month, in the yeare one thousand seven hnndred' and thirty seven, 1737.

John Salkeld' of Chester, a noted minister among Friends, visited England in 1726. In his manuscript diary we find the memorandum, " the 10, of y'= 4 mo: 1726, Left with Tho^ Edes two pounds five shillings for a sett of Slays for John Sharpies. CHESTER MEETING. We have seen that in 1681 it was agreed that a meeting should be held every First day of the week at the Court House at Upland, and this was probably continued for ten or more years. Fourth mo. 6, 1687, it was "Agreed that Bartholomew Coppock, James Kenerly, Randall Vernon & Caleb Pusey do agree & contract with such workmen or workman, as they shall see meet, to build a meeting house att Chester 24 foot square & 10 foot high in y^ walls, & y' y^ abovesaid persons do come themselves, & the said workmen they agree [with], & give an account thereof to y^ next monthly meeting." Nothing is said of the proposed location but on 10 mo. 5, 16S7, 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 ^lo^ conveyed a lot of ground in Chester, on the ist of ist month, 1687-S, "to the use & behoof of the s^' 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 Ogden ; for Edgemont, Thomas Worrilow and James Swaffer ; for Springfield, George Maris, the younger, and Mordecai Maddock ; for Marple, Thomas Pearson and Josiah Taylor.

Eighth mo. 12, 1691: "this meeting allso desiers 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 y^ next months meeting." Eleventh mo. 2, 1 692 : " Ordered by this meeting that Randall Vernon and Randall Meallen goe to Tho: Powell and returne him the two pound ten shillings that he saith he Lent toward building y*= meeting house, & paying CHESTER MEETING. 99 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 y^ accounts w"^ y"" concerning y^ meeting house at Chester, and also to receive y'= Deed of y^ Land the s'^ house stands upon, and give an account thereof to the next monthly meeting, and also to bring the s'' 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 y^ same, & this meeting orders John Simcocke to keep the Deed till farther order," &c. FIRST MEETING HOUSE AT CHESTER, IIUILT I693 This, the first meeting-house in Chester, was doubtless completed in 1693. It is not now standing, but our picture of it is taken from Dr. lOO THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. Smith's History of Dclazuare 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. For 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. 5- James Sharpies/ John', born at Hatherton, Cheshire, Eng., I mo. 5, 1670-1 ; died in Nether Providence township, Chester (now Delaware) County, Pa., about 1746; married i mo. 3, 1697-8 to Mary Edge, who died 2 mo. 17, 1698: 2d marriage 12 mo. 20, 1699, to Mary Lewis, born in Glamorganshire, Wales, 5 mo. 10, 1674; died about 1753, in Nether Providence.

John Edge ^^"'th 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 JAMES SHARPLESk JOI 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, 171 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. Abigail, m. 3 mo. 24, 1705, to Edward Woodward; d. 9 mo. 27, 17 16.

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 WorralP (Mary', Nathaniel-*, James^, James=). The inscriptions show that it was bought from Walter Faucet, evidendy 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 y^ last of y'= ii'^' month, 1697-8: Jams Sharpies & Marey edge laid thayr intention before this meetin of taking each other as husband & wife, this being y^ first time, thayre parants being heare & consenting: tho: Minshall & robart Vernon is opoynted to make inquirie conserning his clearnes & mak report to y^ nixt meeting thereof" The women appointed Mary Hoskins and Phebe Peckow to inquire concerning Mary Edge.

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 Lewis: My Love unto thee and all thy family, hoping y' thou art in good health as I am at this p''sent writing : thy Brothers and thy to sisters and all their familyes are in very good health and doe remember their loves unto thee and thy wife.

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; 17 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, 11 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, i 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, 171 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 7 19 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, JAMES SHARFLES^. 107 & 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 •with 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, i 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 Io8 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. awarded to James Sharpies. This had been patented to his father 5 mo. 28, 16S4, for ZZ'^ 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 my 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 E.xecutors 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 y« follow- ing manner and form.

The foregoing will was proven Oct. 1 3, i 746, by Thomas and Joseph V'ernon, on their affirmations. It shows entire confidence on the part of the testator that his wife would deal jusdy 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 setders upheld.

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 y^ Intestate in her life time by 40 Acres of Land to y^ value of 100 pounds and also we find that David Sharpless, another son of y^ Intestate has been advanced 100 acres of Land to y^ value of 250 pounds ; all which we submit to y^ wisdom of y'^ 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 ^6-16-8, each, if the real estate were sold at the valuation set upon it.

"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 setded in each perticuler first day's meeting, w<='^ 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, 1691-2: "Ordered by this meeting )•' from henceforth Walter ffaucet receive all y<= respective collections belonging thereto, & that y^ persons y' receive it at each meeting either bring or order it into his hands to every monthly meeting, and y' y^ said Walter pay away none of it but by y^ 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 (.16, PR O VIDENCE MEE TING. i r - First-day meetings, was continued by Friends liere 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 every first and 3'^ day, and at Thomas Minchall's every first & 4"' day, and at John Bowater's every first and 5'"^ day." Third mo. 2, 169S: "Chester monthly meeting being called, Chester ffriends desiering the weekly meeting to be at Randell Vernon's the second 5''' day of each month This meeting doth alovve 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 3^ day be on y^ 5"' day." Twelfth mo. 6, 169S-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 y^ 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. i, 1699: "According to the order & request of y^ 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 y'-' high roade side, is the most Conveniant place for that service & accordingly this meeting approves of y^ 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 oft"." IlS THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. Third mo. 12, 1701: " Providence meeting requesting that whereas their weekly meeting being the second 5''' 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 II 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 large gatherings. Eighth mo. 26, 1754: 'Tt 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 y*= Old End with stone and such necessary Repairs on y'^ Inside as They shall Think proper, and to make Report of y^ cost and Charge when Done, — Providence friends agreeing To pay a Quarter part Thereof; and this meeting agrees to keep y^ next monthly meeting at Chester at y'^ 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. 28, 1814: 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, 1814, 'Tt 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^ 19 Monthly Meeting was held at Middletown during the time of rebuilding, but in the new house again, i mo. 30, 1S15. 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 I mo. 25, 17 17, 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, i mo. 7, 1 748-9, but on I mo. 27, 17S3, it was represented that the former trustees (of 1717) 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, Jun^, Caleb Cowpland and William Surman. In 17S3 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 28, 1814, vesting the property in certain trustees. 8.

Of these the first four were born in Nether Providence and the others in Middletown township, as appears by the family Bible. At Chester Monthly Meeting, i 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 y« county of Chester, yeoman, & Lidya Lewis of haverford in y' county afores'*. Spinster, having declared their Intentions of taking each other as husband & wife before severall Publick meetings of y'' People called Quakers, according to y^ good order used amongst them, whose ^ceedings therin, after deliberate consideration therof and consent of parties and Relations concerned, being approved by y' meetings : Now these are to certifie, all whom it may concern, that for y^ full determination of their s^^ Intentions, this 30''' day of y' 3'^ month in y"= year 1 704, They, y= s"^ Joseph Sharpies & Lydia Lewis, appeared in a Publicke & solemn assembly of y= afore- said People, niett together for y' end and purpose, at the meeting house at Haverford, afores , according to y^ E.xample of the holy men of god Recorded in y= Scriptures' of trueth ; he the said Joseph Sharpies, taking y= s") Lydia Lewis by the hand, did openly declare as foUoweth, viz., In the fear of the Lord and in this Assembly, I take this my frind, Lydia Lewis, to be my wife, ^raising to be to her, by god's [assistance], a faithfull loving husband untill it shall please y^ Lord by death to part us : and then and there in y« s"!

This deed never having been recorded it is thought proper to give it here in full : " Know all men That Jane Sharpies, widow & administrafx of Jo" Sharpies, late of Providence, in the County of Chester, deceased, & John Sharpies, son & heir of the s'' John Sharpies & Jane his wife, for the Consideracon of six shillings to them payd by Joseph Sharpies, another son of the s'' John & Jane Sharpies, And for y^ better support & mainte- nance of him the s"' Joseph, have given, granted, enfeoffed, & by these presents confirmed, unto the said Joseph Sharpies, all that Tract of Land in the s'^ County of Chester, Beginning at a corner marked maple Tree Standing by Chester Creek, by the mouth of a small run of water, Thence runing up the several Courses of the s'l Run to a corner marked Red oak ; Thence north west, by a Line of marked trees, Two hundred & ten perches to a corner marked white oak ; Thence by a line of marked trees, South west, Two hundred & eighty perches, to a corner marked Ash tree standing by the said Chester Creek ; Thence down the Several Courses of y*^ s^i Creek to the first menconed maple tree, containing three hundred acres : — granted & confirmed unto the s'^ Jo" Sharpies in his life time in fee simple, by patent from the propriefy, Wm.

Sealed and delivered Jane Sharples, 1 seal. \ in the p^sence of her J nT'ke. l,_^_,i Richard Crosby, { SEA^} Michael Blunston, John Sharples. Dad Lloyd." 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. i, 1683, and the above descripdon, 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 120 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 ]0 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 Mary 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 SHARPIES^ I 2 ■, 1700, the old house, which is still standing, the folloAving statements by David Simpson of Blairsville, Pa., will be of interest: I will sa)- here in regard to family heirlooms the first John Sharpies brought with him a small Roman \ase 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 Josejih 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 sister having her own family to attend to at that time, strangers carried every thing off they could lay hands on. I ^^'anted my mother to give me that ^^ase some years before she died but she told me she would not part with it while she li\-ed : 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 ne.xt neighbor, on the north, upon whose land the meeting-house had been built. They were succeeded, i mo. 29, 1708, 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. 28, 1713, from which we may conclude that he removed to the Middletown tract in the spring of 17 13. There having been great inaccuracies in many of the early surveys, a law of property was passed in 1700, and confirmed in 1701, which enacted that any person's land might be resurveyed, "and if upon such resurvey (after allowance of four acres in the hundred, over or under, for difference of surveys, and six per cent for roads) an overplus shall be found, the possessor thereof should have the refusal of it from the Proprietary at reasonable rates ; and in case of disagreement about such rates the Proprietary was to choose two men and the possessor two more, who should either fix a price on the said overplus land, or appoint where it should be taken off for the Proprietary, in one entire piece, at an outside (saving to the purchaser or renter his improvements and best conveniences), any three of whom agreeing should be conclusive ; and the charges of resurveying should be borne by the purchaser or renter of the main tract, if he bought the overplus, or if not, then by the Proprietary ; and that deficiencies should be made good by the Proprietary, according as he received for overplus land as aforesaid." 124 ^-^-^ SHAJiFLESS FAMILY.

Given under our hands & the seal of the Province at Philad'^ the 15th Day of y' 10 m° 1701. EDWARD SHIPPEN, GRIFFITH OWEN, To Edward Penington, | THO: STORY, JAMES LOGAN. Surveyor Gen'. ) 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 i mo. 14, 1 701-2, and the other II mo. 17, 1701, 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 Comm''^ upon application made by & non agreem' w'^' Joseph Sharpless have ordered that thou shalt cutt off from his Tract lately resurveyed the 90 acres of overplus found therein, which pray ^form as much to y^ Prop'''^ 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 y'^ land of Thomas Martin ; from thence running by a piece of overplus land, taken oft" from this Tract for my use, Northwest JOSEPH SHARPIES^. j ^ - two hundred & fifty four perches, to a corner black Oak ; then South forty six degrees westerly, two hundred & eleven perches, to a walnut Tree growing by y*^ side of Chester Creek ; from thence down by y^ said Creek, on several Courses, four hundred & fifteen perches, to a white Oak growing by y* mouth of y^ said Run ; from thence up by y*^ s'^ Runn, on several courses, one hundred eighty five perches to y^ 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 Darlington 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, 16S2, 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, 1731, 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 McMichell^ who with his wife, Barbara, conveyed it, Jan. iS, 1762, to Samuel Oliver, and the latter, with Elizabeth his wife, now of Goshen Township, conveyed it to Josiah Wilkinson of Nether 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 17 15, in place of Jacob Minshall, and he was succeeded by Joseph Pennell 3 mo. 27, 1717. 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 i mo. 26, 171 5, he purchased from Samuel Tomlinson of Middletown, "cordwinder," and Mary his wife, 98 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 FAMILY. between his sons Benjamin and Samuel, giving the latter loo acres, and to the former 1 50 acres, with the buildings, and 9 acres of the Aston tract. At the same time he purchased from his son Benjamin a tract of ■x,%'] 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, 1737, for a certificate of removal thereto, with his wife and some of his children.

JOSEPH SHARPLES\ 127 In his new home Joseph Sharpies was an active member of West Cahi Meeting. In 1743 he joined with other inhabitants of West Cahi in petitioning to have some of the boundary- hnes 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 setde within the verge of Chester monthly meeting, and requested a Certificate to said meedng ; 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 cerdficate from Bradford does not appear to have been presented at Chester undl 4 mo. 30, 1746. Lydia Sharpies was appointed an overseer for Middletown Meeting, 1 1 mo. 30, 171 5, 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 mudlated by the loss of a litde 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 Hving at the time of its reception.

I have heard that [ni)'] granfather, by m\' father, was the huntsman at L[ ] hall, and my father was a convinced man when young, and maryed my mother Phebe Endon among friends; by whom he had five children, of whom I am the [only] SerA'i\'er. m)' father mist his way In his second marriage, and Lost his condision Inwardly and outwardly, and also the unity of friends ; by which means his famil}' sufered and wear dispersed.

It is pleasent to hear from relations att a distance in the outward, but I ofen thought that the Spirituall Kindered exceeds all outward Linage ; and to have our names writin in heaven, and to be of that generall assembly and Church of the first Bom, and of the household of faith, and to have our union in Christ, In whom all the famalys of the earth are Blessed — this is m)' Delight ; and where the outward and the Inward meet in one I have true imity with it ; and I am truly glad to hear that you ha\-e so many of you keept your unity with friends, and I greatl)' Desire that you may be keept and presarved to the End through all your tryalls, temptations and provokeations, in these perillious times, wherin the tryal of our faith and patience is Exercised. I ha\'e ofen had a near simpathy with you on that side the water of Late, and had you in rememberance in m_v near aproches before the Lord, that he might arise to your help and scater your eniniys ; and as friends are carfuU and conserned to flee to the name of the Lord, that Everlasting Tower of Safty, where the rightious and the right minded have allwa}-s been protected, through fire and through water, and these that are thus jjresarved of the Lord have greatly the advantage of those that make flesh their arm, and Depart from the Lord in * Samuel Spavold was present at Chester Monthly Meeting 9 mo. 26, 1757, and Isaac Howell oljtained a certificate to accompany him to Carolina.

One of his letters is dated at Chester, in Pennsylvania, 11 mo. II, 1755. After traveling over 8,000 miles on religious service in America, he sailed from New York, 6 mo. 5, 1756, and arrived at Dublin, 7 mo. 9, 1756.

[On outside] To Joseph Sliarples, sen att Midletown In the County of Chester In Pennsalvainia These. From an account of the writer of the foregoing letter hi 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- bury 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, 1784, 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., 1757, letters of Adm'on in Common form on the Estate of Joseph Sharpless, late of MIddletown in the County of Chester, deceased, who died Intestate, I30 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. was duly granted to Joseph Chamberlin, who was Solemnly affirmed to Exhibit a true and perfect Inventory and Conscionable appraisement of all & singular the goods & Chattels, Rights & Credits, which were of the said Intestate, into the Register's office at Chester, on or before the Nineteenth day of June next, and to make a true and Just account of his Adm'on on or before the nineteenth day of May, Anno Dom., 175S.

Ninth mo. 6, 1699: "The ffriends of John Bowater's meeting Lay their Intentions of Building a meeting house. This meeting constituts & appoints Philip Roman, Robert Pyle, Nathaniel Newlin, George Robinson, John Hood & John Wood to determine the place for that service, and make report to y^ next Quarterly meeting, under all their Hands, that it may be entred in this meeting Book." At Randall Vernon's, 12 mo. 5, 1699-700: "Whereas the friends belonging to the meeting that is kept at y^ house of John Bowaters have an intention to build a meeting house for the service of Truth, but not wholy agreeing where to sett it, y^ friends concluding to Lay it before y^ Quarterly meeting for y^ determination thereof; accordingly it was done y'= 6''' of y^ 9'^^ month, 1699.

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 1 690 ; 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. ist, Page 591, &c., the 30th day of the 4th month, A. D. 1822 ; which said Deed is deposited in the monthly meedng book case." In the fifty years, commencing with 1787, there were over nine hundred interments in the grave-yard belonging to this meeting. 9.

Mtg., dated lo mo. 4, 1 71 7, which states that he had " Hved 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, Jr., 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 setded, and which is still in possession of their descendants. Their marriage certificate, on parchment, 151^ 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. Nanny 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., I mo. 25, 1728, in room of Phebe Lewis, and was succeeded by Dorothy Yarnall 9 mo. 24, 1729. Henry Howard was appointed overseer, 11 mo. 31, 1731-2, in room of Samuel Lewis, who in turn succeeded him 8 mo. 28, 1734.

George Ashbridge, of " Edgmond " and Mary Malin, of Upper Providence, were married 8 mo. 23, 1701, at Providence Mto-., and settled in Goshen township.

At Chester Monthly 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, 1 74S-9, "Alice Commings is chosen I40 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. overseer for Chester meeting along with Eliz: Sharpies, in place of our Friend Agnes Salkeld, Deceased." Elizabeth was succeeded by Sarah Sharpies 5 mo. 30, 1757, and their positions were reversed 6 mo. 27, 1763. On 12 mo. 28, 1767, "Esther Hoskins is chosen overseer with Elinor Harrison, for Chester Meeting, in the room of Elizabeth Sharpies, Deceased." By a deed dated April 16, 1726, John Sharpies of Ridley, yeoman, conveyed to his son John Sharpies, cordwainer, " for the sum of five shillings of lawfuU money of the s'^ Province," and "for the natural love & affection which he hath & beareth to the s"^^ 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 1832 to 1830, 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 : i. The following were some of the items : A silver watch and two walking Cains, /5 : 15 : o Two Bibles, one Testament, Sewel's^j History, Thomas Story's Journal, and \ 4:13:2 other books, ....

J His share of various crops at home, and hay at the marsh mentioned. The administration accounts, filed Dec. 17, 1770, show a total of ^^425 : 12 : 53^, 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, 8^^ acres in Ridley, on the Delaware River, and 4 acres in Chester township, valued altogether, by Sheriff, Jesse Maris, and twelve jurors, at ^^^-53 : 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, 1771, to Reuben Roberts, who had married the second daughter, Margaret. The following petition relative to a change in the township line, having been chiefiy in the interest of the Sharpless family, is here presented verbatim : Chester fs : To the Honourable Justices of the Court of Gen' Quarter Sessions of the Peace to be held at Chester the Twenty Seventh day of February Anno Domini 1753.

Josiah Hibberd doubtless came from England but the exact place of his nativity has not been discovered. He setded 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=. 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.

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 beino^ 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, 1748, 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, 144 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. and again 4 mo. 6, 1 764, 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 i 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 i mo. 7, 1785, that he had been paid ;^i : 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, 17S1, 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.

Susannah, b. Oct. 21, 1735 ; d. Apr. 12, 1810; m. 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, 1884, — "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 cofifm ; 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 frequendy say that my great grandfather, Samuel Bond and Richard Clayton came 1 46 THE SHARPLESS FA MIL V. from England and setded on joining farms: Both observers of the Lord's Sabbath, as their posterity bearing the name of Bond does to day, with the exception of those who think more of gaining the world than Heaven." M. W. Blair also gives the tradition that the first Bond arrived at Philadelphia when but a single cabin stood there, its chimney topped out with a headless barrel, and that his name is said to have been Samuel. Allen Robinett, a purchaser of land in 1681 from William Penn, was living, with Margaret, his wife, in Upper Providence township early in 1683. A warrant dated 2 mo. 28, 1701, directs the resurvey of 250 acres in Upper Providence to Samuel Robinett, son of Allen Robinett, and Richard Bond, son-in-law of Allen Robinett ; and it appears that a patent was granted for this land 4 mo. 30, 1702, to Samuel Robinett and Sarah Bond, for 335 acres. Randall Malin acknowledged a deed to Richard Bond, dated Dec. 22, 1696, for two acres of land in U. Providence, and the latter was constable for Upper Providence in 1697. The family may possibly have returned to England for a time, but Samuel Bond appears as a taxable in Upper Providence from 17 15 to 1724. In 1732 his mother was the wife of Joseph Carter, of Ridley, to whom she was probably married in 1708. Joseph Carter was disowned by Friends of Chester Mo. Mtg., 6 mo. 30, 1708, because he "hath actually married to one who doth not any wayes profess the truth with us," notwithstanding he had been precautioned two months ago. In 1732, Sarah Carter appointed her son Samuel Bond of Cecil Co., Md., her attorney to acknowledge two deeds for a tract of land called " Kinsly " in and about the forks of North East river in Maryland, which she and her husband had sold to Samuel Gilpin of Concord and Edward Taylor of Naaman's Creek. At Chester Mo. Mtg., 9 mo. 28, 1726, Ann Sharpies was complained of for marriage by a "priest" to Samuel Bond, who was not a member. For this she made an acknowledgment, which was accepted 5 mo. 31, 1727. She and her husband probably removed to Maryland soon after marriage, as he is not found among the taxables in Chester County after 1724; but it was not till 3 mo. 30, 1737, that a certificate was granted by Chester Mo. Mtg., transferring her membership to Nottingham. In the records of the latter meeting we find the following : Ann Bond informs this meeting in writing that she has dehberately, from a principle of duty, joined the 7th day Baptists ; we therefore release her from membership with us, desireing her welfare every way. Signed in and by direction of Nottingham Monthly Meeting of friends held ist Mo. 5th 1747. John Churchman, Clerk. LINE OF ANNi,/OHNK ' Morgan Edwards, in his account of the Seventh Day Baptists, says — 147 The third society of them is at Nottingham in Chester county =i= * * The meeting is kept sometimes at the house of Abigail Price in said Nottingham, but chiefly at the house of Samuel Bond in Cecil county, in the province of Maryland. The families to which Notting- ham is central are six, whereof 8 persons are baptized, viz. : Daniel Osborn, Joseph Osborn, Samuel Bond, Richard Bond, Richard Clayton, Abigail Price, Ann Bond, Mary Bond. Here a Yearly Meeting is kept on the last Sabbath in August. This was their state in 1770. They originated from the Keithians at Upper Providence, but having no minister among them, and lying wide one of another, they have not increased. By deed of Jan. 14, 1742, Samuel Bond purchased 200 acres of land from Richard Clayton, which the latter had obtained by patent from the Lord Proprietary of Maryland in 1728. The consideration was ^50, and the land is described as part of a larger tract lying on the west side of the little branch called " Batchelor's fun" (or fund), adjoining George Robinson's land, called " Doe Hill." This tract of land is also called Batchelor's fund in other records. Doe Hill is on Little North East Creek, directly east of Gilpin's Falls. Samuel Bond also purchased 100 acres, June 10, 1743, from John McFarland, for ^36, Pennsylvania money. This was patented to Edward Rumsey in 1703, under the name of " Rumseys Ramble," and is described as lying in the forks of North East River adjoining " Coxe's Park " and " Batchelor's Fund." The will of Samuel Bond of Milford hundred, Cecil County, Mary- land, is dated Oct. iS, 1776, and proven April 30, 1783, in which he gives to his wife, Ann, during life, the homestead and 100 acres, adjoining Augustine Passmore and Richard Clayton ; and at her death the same was to be the property of his grandson Samuel Bond: to son Richard the remainder of the land : to wife the clock and one-third of the personal estate, and the remainder to daughters Sarah Howell, Margaret Davis and Susannah Davis : wife and grandson, Samuel Bond, executors. Witnesses, Richard Clayton, Samuel Gilpin, Ann Smart, Margery Gilpin, Elnathan Davis, Elijah Cole. In 1785 Ann Bond leased the land devised to her by her husband, to her grandson Samuel Bond, for ^15 per annum, to be paid to the person whom the said Ann Bond should agree to live with. Her death occurred the following year in Cumberland Co., N. J., whither she had gone to visit her daughters. Samuel Bond, senior, is spoken of traditionally as a popular Justice of the Peace and quite an "oracle" in legal matters. Among the Bond family records it is recorded that "Richard Clayton 148 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. departed this life the 4th day of August in the year 17S1, supposed to be about 88 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, /s : to Hannah Davis, /s, 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 y« Estate of Thomas Clayton, deceased : That whereas, Thomas Clayton, a bond servant 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 y« two orphans, viz., Richard and Elinor Clayton, Dus allow Twent)- six pounds to Richard Adams, of Pennsylvania mony, for their passage & dyett in England and dyett on bord ship, dyet in Maryland, and bringing them up to Pennsylvania. 17- Daniel Sharpies^ John^, b. at Ridley 12 mo. 24, 1710-11 ; d. at the same place (then Nether Providence) 8 mo. 17, 1775; m. 2 mo. 15, 1736, at Springfield Meeting, to Sarah Coppock, b. 7 mo. 22, 171 2, d. 11 mo. 30, 1797. Their children were — 65. Thomas, b. S mo. 29, 173S ; d. , 1797 ; m. Martha Preston. 66. Rebecca, b. 10 mo. 22, 1740; d. 2 mo. 3, 1796; m. John Eyre. 67.

Hannah Thomas and Sarah Reynolds. Among the first purchasers of land from William Penn were Barthol- omew Coppock of Saltney, in the "county palatine" of Chester, England, and Bartholomew Coppock of High Leigh, in the same county, both of whose deeds bear the same dates, March 21 and 22, 1681. One of this name was a witness to the will of John Worthington, executed on board the "Friendship of Liverpool," Jan. (11 mo.) 16, 16S4. Both setded in Springfield township, and their lands were laid out adjoining the line of Marple, the first named being to the eastward of the odier. He of High Leigh had married Helen (also written Ellen and Eleanor), a sister to 4^ a/ / -, / '. o ^ J /a. tc W -f-* ■A 1 y fpf?^//Art^ s^-'^fr VJ^ ,£t>- ARKIAOE CEWriH-ICAThl,— UA>!:ii 3<:l Month, |P^ Shakples to Sakah Coppock LINE OF DANIELS, JOHN'. j .„ 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. lo 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, 1 701, 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 Nickson (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. i, 1685, and d. 5 mo. 30, 1 70S. 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.

Starr, 9 mo. 24, 1762 : again appointed 9 mo. 30, 1765, and succeeded by James Barton 9 mo. 23, 1768. In 1758 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, 1758, to visit families: appointed Elder 5 mo. 29, 1758, 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 8 mo. 27, 1772, instead of Esther Hoskins : appointed with others i mo. -7' ^111 y 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, 1786, 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 £b 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 y^ 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 176S. 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 ^3. Daniel Sharpies was also interested in this matter and on LINE OF DANIEL3, JOHN^. jcj 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, 176S. 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 Sharpless do secure and Indemnify the Township of Nether 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 otherivise 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 ^^'as 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 Jiis 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 _^io 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 v>'ith 4 acres of marsh in grass, 49 acres woodland in Chester, iSo acres of land with the buildings, 34 acres uncultivated land, 6 horses, 7 cattle and 7 sheep ; one negro girl and one saw-mill.

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 engagement." James Sharpies- of Lower Providence, yeoman, and Mary, 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, 1 748, 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.

He was complained of 5 mo. 29, 1758, on account of a debt to Daniel Sharpies, and on 7 mo. 31, 1758, it appears that his goods had been seized but not yet sold, and he was also ■ complained of for suing David Sharpies, who apprehended himself in danger of having to pay money twice over. Richard was disowned 11 mo. 27, 175S. In 1786 he was assessed in Marple. Esther Gorman, widow of Richard, died about 1S07. A beaver hat.

Nicholas Newlin, a gentleman in easy circumstances, with Elizabeth, his wife, and children emigrated from Mt. Melick, County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1683, and settled in Concord township, (now) Delaware Co., Pa. His certificate from Friends in Ireland, dated 12 mo. 25, 1682, 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 suflerings here for the testimony of Jesus, or coveting worldly liberty." He gave evidence before the Provincial Council, 7 mo. 7, 1683, 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 large 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 1687, and after his death. May, 1669, were continued at his widow's. She died in 171 7. Some of their children appear to have remained in Ireland, but three of them, Nathaniel, John and Rachel, came to this country and from the first are descended those of the name here. John died unmarried and Rachel married Ephraim Jackson. A horoscope among the "Taylor Papers" bears the inscription, "Netus Natheniel Nulen anno 1665, desem 18 d: 3 h: 21 m: P. M.," which would make it appear that Nathaniel was young when married, 2 mo. 172 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. (April) 17, 16S5, to Mary Mendenhall, from Wiltshire.

Nathaniel Newlin continued to reside in Concord and was a prominent person both in the Society of Friends and in the community, being for several years a member of the Provincial Assembly, a commissioner of property, justice of the county courts and a trustee of the Loan Office of the province. In 1724 he purchased a tract of over 7000 acres on Brandywine, now known as Newlin township. Although advanced in life he married again 2 mo. 17, 1729, Mary Fincher, and died in the following month. John Newlin3 was married in 171 1 to Mary, dau. of Richard and Jane Woodward, of Middletown, who survived him, and died 11 mo. 24, 1790, aged 10 1 years. Their children were — Mary, m. 5 mo. 20, 1752, to John Hall of Concord. Jane, m. 3 mo. 26, 1736, to Samuel Sharpies (29). Rebecca, m. 2 mo. 16, 1740, to Richard Fawkes of Newtown.

Joseph Sharpies and wife Lydia conveyed to their son Samuel Sharpies, of Middletown, weaver, July 24, and 25, 1736, 100 acres of the original survey in Middletown, being the eastern part thereof. Samuel also purchased from his brother Joseph, by lease and release, Feb. 15, and 16, 1739, 21 acres, 44 perches more of the original tract; and by deed of April 5, 1754, obtained from Thomas Grisell and Margaret, his wife, 95^ acres adjoining, to the estward, which almost exactly coincided with the 90 acres of overplus land, cut off by the re-survey of 1 701-2, and patented to Thomas Martin. In 1764 he was assessed with 217 acres and buildings, worth ^22 per annum, 7 horses, 7 cattle and 19 sheep: tax ^1:11:3.

Nathan Sharpies removed with his parents to West Cain township, in 1737, and on June 4, 1740, they conveyed to him 193 acres of land in that township, it being the western half of the tract which his brother Benjamin had formerly owned. This land lay about a mile westward of West Cain Meeting and was lately owned principally by Phinehas Ash. Nathan married and took his wife to this place, but in 1 744 they removed to a part of her father's land in Bradford, containing 32 acres, on which Nathan took a lease for seven years dated Mar. 25, 1743 (1744?), Joseph Townsend agreeing to erect a barn thereon by the ist 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. 1 74 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL \ '. 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, 1747, purchased from William Dean, of Birmingham, and wife, Lydia, 2035^ 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 jDlace 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 11, 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 /lOO, 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. i mo. 13, 1759 ; d. 8 mo. 29, 1S23 ; 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, 175S, 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, 1791, 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, Eng. is thought to have been the .son of a Richard Townsend who, as a Friend, suffered persecution bj' imprisonment at Cirencester in 1660, 1662 and 1675. ^^ is also stated that the son be- came a Friend and "received the Truth in the love thereof 3 mo. ist, 1672, went to London in the 3d mo. 1676, and was married to Ann LINE OF NA THA Ns, JOSEPH -'. j ►, c Hutchins, 3 mo. 25, 1677. He came to Pennsylvania in company witli William Penn, on the Welcome, 16S2, 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 1683, 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 17 13 he removed to Philadelphia. He died at the residence of his nephew, Joseph Townsend, in East Bradford, i mo. 28, 1732, and was buried on the 30th, at Philadelphia. His children were Joseph, b. 10 mo. 2, 167S, 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 the Welcome, 9 mo. 2, 16S2, d. young; Mary, b. 3 mo. 22, 1685 ; Joseph, b 5 mo. 16, 1687, m. 9 mo. 11, 171 1, to Elizabeth Harmer, and left a dau., Ann, b.

William Townsend of Bucklebury, carpenter, brother of Richard, the emigrant, was married 11 mo. 28, 1679 to Jane Smith, but she did not long survive, and he was married again, 2 mo. i, 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 Townsend', b. n 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. 18, 1683, dau. of Julian and Esther Wooderson. They with his sister Joan received a certificate from a Monthly Meeting at Newbury in Berkshire, dated 11 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. II, 1715 ; thence to Chester 6 mo. i, 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 Abington. Articles of agreement were signed Oct. 21, 1725, between John Wanton, of Newport, Rhode Island, and Joseph 176 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 £\o, per 100 acres, to be paid in three instalments — ;^ioo immediately, ^100 on Oct. 21, 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. 11 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 were — William, b. 5 mo. 26, 171 1 ; d. 11 mo. 13, 1792, unmarried. Mary, b. 8 mo. 16, 1713 ; d. 10 mo. 8, 1781 ; m. Henry Woodward. Joseph, b. 4 mo. 8, 1715 ; d. 10 mo. 3, 1749 ; m.

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 1764 he was assessed as a weaver with 15 acres, one mare and one cow. Robert Pyle' 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 JANE3, JOSEPHS j^y at Hilperton ii mo. 7, 1705, over 80 years of age. William Smith of Bromham house in Wiltshire, having purchased from William Penn 1250 acres, by lease and release Aug. i, and 2, 1682, conveyed 150 acres thereof to Robert Pyle May i, and 2, 1683, ^"^ '^^ 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 Rec^ because I saw yesterday 2 leters from Rob. Pile." Again writing to his sister Jean Coole 2 mo. 18, 1684, he says, "this day we Rec^ thy letter dated y^ 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 y^ widdow Beazer's house & not a word of y"^ how they was ; w'^'^ 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 find that Robert Pyle of Stanton Barnard in the county of Wilts, yeoman, executed a power of attorney, Aug. 29, 1688, to enable Robert Pyle, Jun^ 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 subsequendy 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 Sarah, b. 11 mo. 27, 16S2 ; d. 12 mo. 16, 1706 ; m.

Nicholas Pyle' purchased, Mar. i, 1688, from John Palmer and wife Mary, and John Hannum and wife Margery (daughters of Robert Suddery), 150 acres in Bethel, and setded thereon, but on Mar. 2, 1696, 178 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. 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 1716. Ralph Pyle' 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 i, 1746, aged 46: buried at Concord Church. John Pyle-, son of Robert, was married in 17 10, to Lydia Thomas, dau. of Peter and Sarah, and again 7 mo. 20, 17 16, to Susanna Chamberlin^ dau. of Robert and Mary, of Concord. By the first he had Sarah (m. Henry Phillips) and Moses (m. Mary Darlington and Mary Cook) : by the second, Jacob (m. Jane Sharpies), William, Ebenezer, Stephen, Israel, Mary (m.

Abraham Sharpies removed with his parents to West Cain township in 1737 ; received a certificate from Bradford Monthly Meeting to Chester, 9 mo. 15, 1744; thence to Concord 3 mo. 30, 1748. He and his wife received one from Concord 9 mo. 6, 1756, to Goshen, and thence to Chester, with six children, 10 mo. 8, 1762. He received one to Concord 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 JAC0B3, JOSEPH^. I 7g Sharpies of Nether Providence, made 9 mo. 23, 1784, by William Swaffer and Daniel Sharpies, amounted to /71 : 15 : 5i-<. He died intestate and administration was granted to his son Abraham, Oct. 5, 1 784. 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 1 708, 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 1 715 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.

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, 1783 ; thence to Concord i mo. 3, 1788 ; thence to Philadelphia (N. District) i 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, i 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 Apparell, /21 : 12 : 6; \6yi hives of bees 2^6 : 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 loth, 175S: Jacob and Ann Sharpless in memory of y' Brother John Blakey," by which it appears to have been a gift from John Blakey. Of Charles Balkey nothing further has been learned. A bible LINE OF \VILLIAM3, JOSEPH^. igl 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 Sharpless, her do., about the year 1727. 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 evidendy 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. 35- William Sharpies^, Joseph^ b. in Middletown 3 mo. i, 1725; d. in Concord 5 mo. 4, 1751, and buried on the 6th at Concord Mtg.: m. 10 mo. 30, 1747, at Concord, to Abigail Sharp, dau. of Joseph and Mary, deceased, of New Garden township, b. 2 mo. 28, 1729; d. 2 mo. 14, 1S05.

Mtg., 9 mo. 15, 1744. Upon his marriage he settled at Newlin's mill in Concord.

The edition of i8i6says: "Peter married Elizabeth Chaddock, from England : and after her death he married Sarah Paschall, of Philad''. 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 might have given a more correct record. 43- Hannah Howard-+, Hannahi, b. 2 mo. 15, 1729; d. 3 mo. 2, 1774; m. 1 mo. 28, 1754, at Providence Mtg., to AugUStine Passmore ot Milford hundred, Cecil Co., Md., b. 7 mo. 27, 17 14; d. 5 mo. 25, 1782; being his second wife.

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." 47- James Howard^ Hannah3, b. in Edgmont 11 mo. 9, 1738; d. 3 mo. 19, 1S25 ; buried the 21st at Middletown ; m. 11 mo. 12, 1761, at East Nottingham Mtg. to Alice Passmore, b. 10 mo. 8, 1744 ; d. 6 mo. 27, 1784; dau. of Augustine and Judith Passmore of Milford hundred, Cecil Co., Md. : second marriage 2 mo. i, 1787, to Hannah Jones, widow of Richard Jones, and (supposed) dau. of Moses and Elizabeth Harper, of East Bradford.

Thomas Dell of Ridley, in his will dated 8 mo. 31, 1749, devised his lands to his wife, durin^r life, after which his grandsons, Thomas and Samuel I90 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. Swayne were to have the use of them for 25 years and at the expiration of this term they were to be divided between the daughters, Sarah and Mary, of his son Thomas Dell, deceased. Thomas Swayneo, 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 Swajne 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 libert)' 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 7 mo. 25, 176S, in room of John Levis, and received a certificate to Darby Mo. Mtg., 5 mo. 25, 1772. 50.

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 JOHN3,JOHN^. jgi awarded by Orphans' Court in 1771, 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, 1771 : 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 /179: o : 4, but Lucretia W. Sharpies, as the daughter of the eldest son, received a double share or ^358 : o : 8^; to secure which Reuben Roberts mortgaged to William Swaffer, Oct. 21, 1771, the land east of the Providence road, 97 acres, and Zyi 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, 1 771, to John Price, Esq., of Lower Chichester, for ^200. This was satisfied Dec. i, 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 1771. In 1774, Reuben Roberts was assessed in Nether Providence with 170 acres and buildings, worth ^17, per annum, 3 horses, 5 catde 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 383/ 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 Engle. 51- Elizabeth Sharpies^ John3, b. in Ridley 6 mo. 25, 1734; d. at Wilmington, N.

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, 175S. It is said they settled at first in Guilford County where there was a colony of Friends, but they afterward removed to Wilmington, where many of their descendants still reside. The Friends' records of that State have not been accessible but it is understood that their children left the Society early in life, yet their posterity hold in great veneration the memory of their Quaker ancestor, Elizabeth Bradley. Richard Bradley's mother is said to have been a Wood and his birth-place Kendal in Yorkshire. 52.

At an Orphans' Court, Dec. 18, 1770, on petition of Thomas Swayne, William Swaffer was appointed guardian for Lucretia Woomy Sharpless, under 14 years of age, dau. of John Sharpless, Jr., deceased. One Joseph Sleigh or Slay produced a certificate to Chester Mo.

His wife received one to the same meeting 7 mo. 26, 1762. They may have resided temporarily in Ridley after this date as we find one George Sharpies an inmate of Ridley township, 1764, but they were living in Germantown in 1771, and later : in 1S16 they lived with their unmarried daughters in Philadelphia. John Lewis of Philadelphia city, "Bisket baker," son of Samuel Lewis of Haverford, carpenter, and Grizzel, his wife, was married March 20, 1734-5, 'It Springfield Mtg., to Alice Harvey, b. 10 mo. 10, 1713 ; dau. of Joseph Harvey of Ridley, who m. in 1708, Mary Simcock, b. 11 mo. 4, 1 688, dau. of Jacob and Alice Simcock of Ridley.

Traditions are not often reliable yet are generally based on facts. 194 ^-^-^ SHAHPLESS FAMILY. 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. 54' Josiah Hibberd^ Pliebe3, b. in WilHstown 2 mo. 22, 1733; d. in East Whiteland 10 mo. i, 1802; buried at Goshen Mtg. : m. 10 mo. 25, [764, at Goshen, to Susanna Owen, b. at Chester 7 mo. 9, 1731 ; d. in E.

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. i, 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 pardy conveyed 150 acres thereof to Alexander Ross, and afterward, with Martha his wife, LINE OF PHEBE3,JOHN^ ■95 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, Jr.. who reconveyed it on the 2 2d 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, iig 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, 1765, in room of Josiah Garrett, and was succeeded by Randall Malin, 1 1 mo. II, 1768. 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.

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, 1771, who, with his wife, sold the 98 acres to Nathan Madack, 3 mo. 26, 1781. 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 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, 1801, 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. i, 181 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 W'illistown 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, 1782 and two in 1784. At Goshen Mo. Mtg., 4 mo. 9, 1784, "The ffrds 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 soUid 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- cluded to forward the request to the Quarterly Meeting, at a session of which, held 11 mo. 10, 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 1828, the Orthodox portion again made use of the old building. It was torn down about the year 1875. 59- Caleb Hibbard^ Phebe3, b. in Willistown 12 mo. i, 1742; d.

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 loi acres in two tracts. In 1774 he was assessed with 50 acres, 1 horse and 2 cattle; in 1786, with 176 acres, a tanyard, i horse and three cattle. In 1799 he had the same land, worth ^10, per acre, 2 stone houses, 2 log barns, tanyard and buildings, 2 horses, 4 cattle and a saw-mill. Peter Thomas' and Sarah Stedman both of "Springtowne" de- clared their intentions of marriage before Chester Mo. Mtg., i mo. i, and 2 mo. 5, 1686, and were married 2 mo. 15, 1686, at John Simcock's house in Ridley. They afterward removed to Willistown and settled on a tract of 528 acres, on Crum Creek, next above Francis Yarnall. Peter died 4 mo. 5, 1722. Their children, so far as known, were Lydia, m. in 1710 to John Pyle, Peter, Jacob, m. 9 mo. 6, 17 17 to Elizabeth Richards, and Joseph m. 1 718, to Jemima David.

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.

Allen Farquhar', 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 William^, 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 "y^ province of Pennsylvania to y^ 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.

Howell, did not belong to that school but respected his wife's views so much that he sold out his possessions in New Casde 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.

He became a Sabbatarian, perhaps through the influence of his wife, and was ordained 2o6 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. Nov. 13, 1768, 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 meeting-house was built, of brick, and there was a large 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 Caermarthen shire, 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 Nov' : i : 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.

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, w^ere 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. 64. Susanna Bond% Ann3, b. in Cecil Co., Md., Oct. 21, 1735; d. at Shiloh, N.

Dickinson Sheppard and Reese 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, 1 8 10, 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 setdement 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 EAMIL Y. to Long Island, whence Jonathan and EInathan Davis, supposed to be sons of one of the above three brothers, came to Trenton, and EInathan became the Surveyor General of New Jersey. Jonathan Davis, Jr., son of EInathan settled at Shiloh, married Esther, daughter of Isaac Ayars, and had six children : Jarman, b. Feb. 24, 1732 ; m. Esther Ayars. Jonathan, b. Jan. 26, 1734; d.

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 EInathan 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 1716, 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 agreement, and names as found in the oldest records. We whose names are hereunder written do join together upon the articles and agreements following : ist. 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. i Cor. 8 : 6 ; i Tim. 2:5)2 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 i ; 19-21 ; 2 Tim. 3 : 16 : Mark 7 : 13 ; i 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 i : 25 ; Romans 7 : 25 ; 3 : 31 ; 13 : 8-10 ; Eph. 6 : 2. 4th. We believe the si.\ principles recorded in Hebrews 6 : i, 2, to be the rule of fliith and practice. 5th.

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.

Anna Swinnev. To Jonathan Davis, senior, is ascribed tlie 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 j^astor, 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 fiat 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 Ayars, a prominent member, administered the ordinance of baptism in the absence of a pastor. In 1786 Nathan Ayars was called by the church and ordained, and remained pastor till his death in 1810. 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 183 1, 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 1844, 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 1848 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 1850. Eld. George R. Wheeler of Salem also officiated occasionally, butT 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 meetings 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, resio-ned 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 the number of communicants 1 212 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. was about three hundred and seventy-five. A. H. Lewis remained with the Church till July 3, 1876, when he returned to Alfred Centre, N. Y., 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. D. 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, in 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 away to make room for an enlargement of the graveyard. In 1S50 the present building, 42 by 64 ft., was erected, and dedicated in 1851, of which we give a view. A picture of the second building might 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. LINE OF DANIEL3, JOHNk ^ j , The architect and builder of the present structure Avas David A. F. Randolph, and among the carpenters who worked at it were Abel S.

The following is a copy of the testimony against him : Whereas Thomas Shaq^less, 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.

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 Avere in advance of others in this matter yet the leaven was slow to work. In 1 7 1 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 belonging 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 Meeting." 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, Ju"^., are appointed to Endeavour to unite together In order to administer suitable advice & Counsel to those that are or may be in need thereof, at this time of outward commotion & Tryal : And keep a regular Record of friends' sufferings within the vergre of this Mo'>' Meeting." LINE OF DANIEL s, JOHN^ 219 Daniel Sharpies and others were appointed, 11 mo. 24, 1777, to join with a committee of the Quarterly Meeting in laboring to discourage the frequenting of taverns and dram shops, the distillation or use of liquors distilled from grain, or selling of grain for that purpose. John Sharpies, Daniel Sharpies, Abraham Pennell, Sarah Sharpies, Hannah Sharpies, and others, were appointed 3 mo. 30, 1778, to join with a committee of the Quarterly Meeting in laboring " for a Reformation in regard to the Due & Wakeful attendance of meetings, Plainness of speech, apparel & Household Furniture." At Chester Monthly Meeting 3 mo. 31, 1783: — " Chester Preparative Meeting infomis this Meeting that there is four Lotts or pieces of Land belonging to their said meeting, Granted by Deeds of conveyance at sundry times to several Tmstees 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.

She also accompanied Sarah Talbot on a visit to the Western Quarterly Meeting and its branches in 1819; and in 1820, to Warrington Quarter and its branches. In 1823 she went as companion to Sarah Emlen, a minister, to attend Baltimore Yearly Meeting. Daniel Sharpies inherited from his father the old homestead in Nether Providence (formerly Ridley), with 240 acres of land, and 8 acres of marsh and upland in Ridley. On Jan. 25, 1793, Daniel and wife conveyed to John Crosby of Ridley, for £(y, the right to dam the water of Ridley Creek to a certain height for use of a mill in Chester township. In this conveyance the saw-mill of Thomas and Daniel Sharpies is mentioned. On the same date Crosby obtained 5 acres, 61 perches of land in Chester township, from Thomas Sharpies, and conveyed to Daniel 27 acres in Nether Providence, on Ridley Creek. Daniel and wife conveyed to George Hinkson of Chester township, 2 mo. 8, 1797, the 8 acres 121 perches of upland and marsh in Ridley, for ^275 ; it being the same which his father had purchased from Peter Dicks May 16, 1758. In 1798, James Barton and Caleb Cobourn conveyed to Nicholas Fairlamb and Daniel Sharpies, a small lot for the use of a school. By deed of 10 mo. 31, 1801, Daniel purchased from his nephew, Jonas Sharpless, 48 perches of land in Chester opposite the breast of Daniel's mill-dam, in order to erect a " Butment " thereon. He also purchased from his nephew, George Sharpies, 18 acres, 16 perches, on Ridley Creek, Sept. 30, 1806. Some mention is made on page 36 of his building of mills and houses. By his will, dated i mo. 27, 181 5, he gave to his wife ^800, with some personal property including six large table spoons marked I. R., a home and privileges, &c.: to son Isaac, the messuage, fulling mill, carding mill and land where he lives, about 27 acres, he paying to dau.

A codicil gives to his son, John, a strip of land one perch in width, which his grandfather had reserved on the northwest side of his land for a passage to Providence Road. William Reynolds is said to have married Margaret Exton, by whom he had John, b. 1650, Francis, b. 1652, and Henry, b. 1655. Henry Reynolds' came from England in 1676, and settled in Burlington, N.

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. LINE OF MARY3, JAiMESK 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, iSoi, and Jesse, being a member of Goshen Meeting, was disowned for the rash act, 1 1 mo. 6 iSoi, 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 ist, 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. i, 181 1. 77- Mary Garrett^, Maryi, was married about 1762, to Jonathan Eldridge, of Goshen, who was not a Friend and the marriage being "by a jjriest" she was disowned 11 mo. 5, 1762.

Jonathan Eldridge is said to have been a twin brother to David Eldridge of New Jersey, where the family were among the earliest setders ; 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, 1771, 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 apparendy 224 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. trifling, brought on lockjaw.

Maybury Helm, supposed b. in Maryland, 1708, d. 1790; m. about 1734, Ann Parrish, dau. of Edward and gr. dau. of Capt. Edward Parrish, who emigrated from Yorkshire, Eng., prior to 1669, and patented large tracts of land in Anne Arundel, Howard and Baltimore Counties, a portion of which, called " Parrish's Fear" is now in possession of Rebecca and Mary McKean, daughters of John and Ann McKean. Leonard Helm was a farmer and surveyor. 87. James Sharpies'*, James^, 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 1764, James Sharpies, Jr., is put down among the single men, in Nether Providence, but afterward transferred to the inmates, and a mason by trade. His marriage probably took place about that time. George Wider and one Anna Catharine Sharpless, widow, were 228 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. married (St. Michael's and Zion Church record) June i, 1766, but nothing further is known of her. One James Sharpless was a private in Capt. Peter Z. Lloyd's company, in the Revolutionary War, 1776, but his place in the family has not been found. 88. Joshua Sharpies^ James3, " married Susanna Brogdon, daughter of Samuel Brogdon, of Middletown, and settled in Providence." (Edition of 18 16.) They had two children, 427. Isaac, b. 1772 ; d. 1S52; m. Hannah Wright. 428. Samuel, d. 1863 ; m. Maiy Hohnes. 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. 90. Nathaniel Sharpies^ James3, b. in Nether Providence, d. there 6 mo. 9, 1789; m.

LINE OF RA CHEL J, JAMES\ 229 He inherited the homestead with 161 acres, by the will of his father, and was a tavern-keeper from 1785 till his death.

Josiah removed to Nether Providence and in 1772 purchased 109 acres there which formerly belonged to Joseph Sharpies^. By his first wife, Rosamond, he had Matilda (Lacey), b. May 10, 1741 ; Israel, b. Dec. 24, 1743; Josiah, b. Aug. 15, 1745; Keziah, b. Aug. 7, 1 746 ; and by second wife, Mary Carver, b. 2 mo. 6, 1733, had William, b.

Joseph and Hannah Wilkinson removed to New London township, Chester Co., and have numerous descendants, of whom William Steele, a grandson, has furnished some of these records. 92. Sarah DelH, Rachels, was married 7 mo. 20, 1750, at Chester Mtg., to Isaac Weaver, son of Richard and Elizabeth, of Chester borough. It is said that he died in his 89th year and she in her 8 2d, and another account places his birth about 1723. His grandson, Harmon Weaver, says he died near Morgantown, Va., in his 93d year.

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 Fallowfield 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 catde and 5 sheep. He and wife, by deed of Oct. i, 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 neo-lect 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, 178S. 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 O.xford, blacksmith," by lease and release, Feb. 20, and 21, 1681, 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.

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 wiie, 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, i mo. 25, 1733, but about 1756, after Richard's death, all except Isaac joined the Episcopal Church. 93.

The residence of William and Mary Pennell was in Middletown on the brow of the hill a lltde 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 loS 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, 1773, from Peter Grubb the iron-master, of Lancaster Co., 250 acres in Middletown, extending eastward from Chester Creek, at the present W^awa 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 servants and one negro. In 1774, he had 750 acres, grist and 232 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. saw mills, 5 servants, 11 horses, 22 cattle and 30 sheep.

He was complained of 6 mo. 27, 1757, for suing Samuel Minshall at law, without consent of the meeting, and was disowned 12 mo. 31, 1759, for neglecting to pay debts to others. In 1764 he was a tenant of Frederick Engle in Middletown, and about 1772, removed to Birmingham, but returned to Middletown or Providence, 1796. Their children so far as known were — 455.

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, 1760, and received a certificate to Wilmington, i 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 faithfuU adherence to the Divine principle in her own heart, gave way to a Libertine Spirit so far as to be married by a priest ; and also hath Refused to give a satisfactory account of the sueing a member of our Society : Therefore we do hereby Disown the said Abigal Gilpin to be of our Society, until she Comes to a true Sence of her misconduct and Condemn the same to the satisfaction of this meeting, which that she may is our Desire.

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, 1764, and on 7 mo. 30, 1764, an acknowledgment from her was accepted by Chester Mo. Mtg., which granted her a certificate to Wilmington, 5 mo. 27- 1765- Soon after marriage they setded 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 pardy 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 234 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. 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.

Her second husband, by will dated 9 mo. 26, 1805, devised his land in Middletown, on the east side of the great road, about 160 acres, to his son Edward, at 2 1 ; and to his five daughters that part of his land on the west side of the road, being 80 acres. He was buried at Middletown Mtg., 10 mo. 7, 1805. His widow married a 3d husband, John Levis, and was buried at Middletown, 2 mo. i, 181S. A "child" of Edward Wood- ward was buried there i mo. 2, 1799, and those who survived were — 471. Sarah, m. James Sharpies (No. 428) and Edward Salyards. 472. Alice, m. Jacob Warner. 473.

The discipline of the Society of Friends required those contemplating marriage to have the consent of parents, verbal or written, at the time of "passing meeting," as the declaration of their intentions is usually termed. This will explain the following document : " These may Inform all whome it Doth Concern that the proposels of marriage Between Aquilla Star and Abigail James is Concented to by Abigail James's mother and step-father, these from Edward Woodward and "April 25, 1796."

They settled at first within the limits of Goshen Mo. Mtg.; thence to Darby, 1752, and to Haverford, 175S. He died 11 mo. 25, 1815, as recorded in the Sharpless family bible. His daughter Sarah married a 2d husband, McCleaster, but little is known of her history. 104. Jesse Sharpies-*, David3, is supposed to have been the same as the father of Jesse, whose children could only say their grandfather was so named.* He may have had other children but nothing is known at present beyond the fact of his being the father of 47S.

Her husband lost his right of membership among Friends, in 1 77 1, and is said to have been pressed into the army during the Revolutionary War. She was left to manage her farm and take care of her young children, which she accomplished through many trials and hardships. She had nine children, 479.

Sharpless, of Keyser, Mineral Co., W. Va., b. at Elk Garden Feb. i, 1S44 (m. Carrie A. Nesbitt), is the son of Jesse Sharpless, d. 18S3, and Catharine Dixon of Piedmont, and grandson of Aquilla (b. about 1796) and Sarah Sharpless. Jesse always spoke of his gr.nndfather as coming from the eastward, among the first settlers ; and later in life passing on westward, leaving only his son Aquilla, who was bora there. Jesse had brothers William and others, not named. Perhaps his grandfather may have been a son of Jesse (No. 104). 238 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. 485.

She appears to have lived In 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 share of her father's land In U.

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. Mtg. 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 membershija 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 LINE OF JOSEPHS, JOSEPH'^ 241 terrible disease. Tlie meeting- commenced on tlie 2 2d of gtli month, and on tlie 5th of loth month Joshua Sharpies (No. 131) wrote thus: I this day heard of the affecting account of the decease of three Friends more wlio 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 hiisband 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 and Mary Sharpies were — 525.

Their bible, printed 1770, is now in pos- 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, 1771. 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 14:6, 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, 1788.

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 i 785. 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.

"Note, that Nathan married three Rachels, and all of them ministers." 246 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. By deed of Nov. 16, 1785, 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, 179S, 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, ZlV-it 3-cres more of William Pennell's estate, and by deed of Mar. 24, 1798, obtained from Jonathan Pennell, of Chester, 1193^ acres in Middletown, for which he paid $2000. This last purchase was disposed of Aug. 21, 1800, to William Doyle, for $2151. In 181 5, 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.

The marriage certificate, on parchment, is signed by si.xty-six witnesses. He received a certificate from Chester to Concord Mo. Mtg., 8 mo. 30, 1779, being placed as an apprentice to a member of the latter meeting. A returning certificate was granted him 6 mo. 6, 1787, and he received one to Sadsbury, 4 mo. 27, 1795 ; from which place he produced one at Catawissa, 8 mo. 26, 1797. He setded near Sunbury about 1795, and followed the milling business in company with F>.obert Coburn, for about two years, and for a few years after in company with his nephew, Enos Sharpies.

[First edition, p. 91.] A Testimony from Nottingliam MoJithly-meding, approved there the 2gt/i day of the jtli month ijSo, concerning onr friend Benjamin Sharpies, jr. deceased. He was son of Benjamin Sharpies of Middletown, in Chester county, Penns)lvania ; 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, brief!)' 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 v.'ilful neglect of dut}-, yet I see I might have been more attentive and diligent, but have a lively hope, my omissions will be forgi\ea, and my transgressions blotted out. Many other expressions he dropt in a pious, ^^'eighty frame of mind ; and was sometimes heard in fer\ent 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 bod)'. 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 e.xpressive 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 i8th of the 6th month, 1780, in the 40th )ear of his age; and on the 21st, was decentl)- interred in Friends' Burying-ground at East Nottingham.

In an old manuscript memoir of Benjamin Ferris3, 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 setded Eastward from Boston, at Groton ; then moved to Charlestown, where my father, Zechariah Ferris- 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 1 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. i mo. 6, 1803, aged 85 y, I m, 24 d. John Ferris3 of New Milford, b. 1710, was married 3 mo. 15, 1738, to Abigail Tryon of New Fairfield, and they had seven children, as follows : Deborah, b. 12 mo. 7, 173S; Abigail, twin with Deborah; Nathan, b. 6 mo. 7, 1740; Rosamond, b. 10 mo. 7, 1741; Ziba, b. 6 mo. 13, 1743; Matthew, b. i mo. 14, 1745; Elizabeth, b. 12 mo. 7, 1746. With these children they removed to Wilmington, in 1748, bringing certificates "from our Monthly Meeting held at the Oblong in y<^ County of Dutches & Province of New York, y<= 21^' of y^ 2"'' mo: 1748." Of John it is said he "hath y« Love of his neighbours here amongst us. He hath also a Gift in y« Ministrey which has been to our Comfort." He died of small-pox in 1750. Zebulon Ferris, perhaps a nephew, produced a certificate from Nine Partners, N. Y., dated 3 mo. 17, 1750. Savage says {Genealogical Dictionary) that Zechariah (Samuel?) Ferris of Charlestown, 1675, had children, Zechariah, baptized 6 Feb. 1676, Sarah, 12 Nov. 1676, Hannah, iS July. 1680. The name was written " Ferriss " by the second, third and fourth generations. LINE OF BENJAMJN3^ JOSEPH^. ''Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright. For the end of that man is peace!' Edith Ferris was the daughter of Benjamin and Edith Sharpies, of Middletown, Chester county, Pennsylvania. She was born the loth of ist Month 1743 [N. S.]. From nature she received 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, great 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 tnith 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 tnie 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 t\vo 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 Erysijielas) with great patience and 254 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. sweetness. She arranged all her little concerns with perfect composure ; and the last day she was with us, said — " All my prayers are answered ; I did desire an abatement of my sufferings, and to have a little tranquil enjoyment of you before I went ; and now my pain and distress are gone, and I have nothing on ni)- 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 Sth of 2d month, 1S15. and her remains were interred on the loth. " Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth ; )-ea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours ; and their works do follow them." [First edition, p. 97.] 131.

For a few years they were members of Concord particular meeting, of which he was appointed an overseer, 1 1 mo. 3, 17S4.

He was appointed an elder 2 mo. 8, 1786. On the back of his first marriage certificate he made the following entry: Edith Sharpies departed this Life on the iSth of ist Mo., 17S7, 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 lile, 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 very 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 1 798 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 e.xamine 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 printeci 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 accoimt of the ravages of the yellow fever, in 1798, which may be found in the same volume. He was one of the founders of the Birmingham Library organized in 1795. In the 4th mo., 1800, Joshua and Ann Sharpies took charge, as superintendents, of the Friends' Boarding School in Westtown, which had been opened about a year, and continued in that station till 10 mo. 17, 181 1, when they returned to their home on the farm.

Elizabeth Sharpies, widow of Isaac, received a certificate from Chester to Concord Mo. Mtg., 6 mo. 27, 1785, and thence to Westland, Washington Co., Pa., II mo. 5, 1788. There she became the wife of Rees Cadwalader, but her further history is unknown. An account of the last sickness and deatli of Isaac Sharpies, zvith sonic of /lis last expressions, jnostly taken down in writing; by his sister Rebecca ; being as follows, My dear brother Isaac Sharpies was taken sick on the Sth of the first month, 17S0, wliich proved to be the small-po.x ; we were in hopes for several days, he would have had it fa\-ourabl)-, 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 Avant 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 migjit 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 prett}' 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, " pra)' for me, my dear, in these trying moments." Then calling for his mother, and 258 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. affectionately kissing her, said, "farewell, dear mother! I believe thou mutt part with thy son, 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 father, 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 Caesar, 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 tmderstood, 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 a.sked 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 lirst month, 17S0, being in the 32d year of his age. [First edition, p. loi.] Oji-r beloved sister Rebecca zvrote the follotuing short tcstiiiionv concerning' her dear deceased brother Isaac Sharpies, a little before she icas seized with 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 BENJAMINS, JOSEPH^. 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 I sensibly feel ; and he will be greatly missed in this family, as well as in more public services in the Church. Rebecca Sharples. [First edition, p. 105.] Eli Yarnair s iestimony 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 religioifs 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. Eli Yarnall. [First edition, p. 107.] 133- Rebecca Sharpies'*, Benjamln3, b. in Middletown, 10 mo. 26o THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. 29, 1749; d. 2 mo. 9, 1780, unmarried. She and Isaac Coates, of East Cain, declare their intention of marriage 3 mo. 22, 1771, but at the next meeting it was minuted that " the marriage laid before last meeting, between Coates and Sharpies, is put by, on account of the man's indisposition of mind." Although his aberration was but temporary they never renewed their engagement, and he married Hannah Stalker, 1 2 mo. I, 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^. 261 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 : " I have been thinking about Innoculation, and cannot see any cause to repent that I 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. 2 62 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. " O how hard it is to give up !" Praying for resignation, and that His will might be done : and some time after, said 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.

His father, Mordecai Yarnall^, son of Francis', 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 SHARP LESS FAMILY. Co. ; to which he produced a certificate, dated 10 mo., 1770. Owing to a disagreement with his master, who appears to have been of a violent temper, he absconded, went to New York, and enhsted 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, 12 mo. 7, 1780, which was, after due consideration, accepted. A certificate transferring his membership to Philadelphia was granted 4 mo. 5, 1781, 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 BENJAMINS, JOSEPH^. 265 When he rose to advocate the cause of Truth, it was with solemn dignity in his manner and countenance — humihty 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, 1791, 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, N. 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 Miscellmiy, vol. ii. ; and in Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of Friends, an interesting memoir will be found. Lines to the memory of Hannah Y'arnall (late wife of Peter Yarnall,) who departed this life, April nth, ijgs, in the jist 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, friend, and wife. Were strong attractions to allure to life ; With mild obedience she resign'd them all ; Nobly attentive to a greater call. Her lively faith presented brighter views. Than what the earth-born worldling, keen pursues. Finite at best, each glitt'ring bauble flies, And bursts the bubble, when the mortal dies. Then deep eternity succeeds to time. All-wondrous rapture, soaring and sublime. 266 THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. One universal church shall there extend, And virtuous spirits, in true homage, bend Before the splendors of Jehovah's throne, Where sin and sorrow are alike unknown. No vain distinctions bind : no narrow sects : One general shepherd, one pure flock protects. One font of love, beams forth the glorious light, Perpetual day dispels the gloom of night. Nor sun nor moon with waning lustre fades, But one resplendent blaze, the whole pervades. E. F N. [First edition, p. 122.] A testimo7iy of the Mtmthly Meeting of Horsham, concerning our beloved friend Peter Yarnall, deceased ; who departed this life at his house in Byberry, the 20th day of the 2nd month, ijg8, hi the ^^th 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 BENJAMINS, JOSEPHS 267 in their families, for wliich service lie 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:—"! 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. i6th. 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- ness 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 infimiities ; 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 quiedy expired without sigh or groan. And seeing it hath pleased the great Head of the church, in his wisdom, which is unsearchable, to remove from works, this our dear friend ; thereby stripping the church of one who was concerned for the enlargement of her borders ; may we unite in fervent supplication to Him who is the great Lord of the harvest, that he may be pleased to qualify, and send forth more faithful labourers into his harvest. Signed on behalf of the Monthly-meeting aforesaid, held the 2nd of the ^th Month ijgS, by Ezra Townsend, Clerk. [First edition, p. 123.] To the Memory of the late pious Peter Yarnall. When those, whom flatterers call the great, have died. The sons of folly, wealth, ambition, pride; What mourning throngs have crowded round their grave, With solemn songs from death their name to save ; But when the truly great, the pious, die. How few the breasts that swell with sorrow's sigh ! Yet there are minds, O Yarnall ! where thy name Shall be embalm'd with honourable fame ; Minds that delight in virtue, and disdain To stoop to soothing adulation's strain ; Such souls sincerely give melodious praise, To those who fairly win th' immortal bays. If aught earth-born, can give the laurel crown, Those spirits, whom their God and Saviour own. Who nobly forfeit wealth, and ease, and life, To wage with vice a more than mortal strife ; Who climbs the steeps where heaven and virtue lead, May humbly claim the imperishable need. Such is the high and honourable claim, That virtue boldly pleads for Yarnall's name. His private sphere, e'en clouded eyes shall find, By deeds of light, an image of his mind. A cordial love, where love was due alone, Expressed in nature's unaffected tone, Stamping each heart, that tenderness could feel. Deep with sincerity's undoubted seal. But if reproof were due, reproof was heard, With angel meekness gracing every word, T'was music of the soul, that won esteem E'en from the giiilty heart. LINE OF BENJAMINS, JOSEPH^. 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 argimient 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 I 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, 269 270 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. Deep 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.

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 276 THE SHARP LESS FAMILY. 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 Talbot^ 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 setded on the land of her first husband, being 430 acres, and who established iron works on Chester Creek, at what is now Glen Mills. In 1761, Joseph Talbot and all of his children except Margaret, Mary and Martha, who were then married, became members of Friends' Meeting, at Middletown. He was married there 5 mo. 8, 1761, to Lydia Townsend, widow of Joseph^, and dau. of Francis Reynolds, and a third time, 8 mo. 21, 1776, at Concord Mtg., to Ann Sharpies, widow of Jacob (No. 34), and dau. of Charles and Susanna Blakey. His residence was In Aston township from 1773, till his death In 1783. His children, all by the first wife, were — Margaret, m. Thomas Grisell, son of Edward, of Edgmont. Mary, m.

They received a certificate to Uwchlan Mo. Mtg., 1 1 mo. 25, 1782, and settled on a heavily timbered farm which he purchased in Uwchlan township. Here he started the coopering business, then an LINE OF SAMUELS, JOSEPH^. 277 important industry, and which he continued, in connection with farming, the rest of his life. To the former, probably more than to the latter, he was indebted for what financial success he had. As his means increased he added to his original purchase two other adjoining tracts, and later, a tract of 150 acres in what is now Upper Uwchlan ; all now in possession of his grandchildren except 75 acres of the last tract, owned by John R. Hoffman. Joseph H. Smedley has the original homestead of 82 acres, joined on the west by William T. Smedley, and next to the latter is the farm of Sharpless and T. C. Smedley.

The log house in which William Sharpies was bom 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. loth, 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 21. 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 18 19. 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, to a lot S. 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 gi6oo. 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 ist 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 ^1824. Jones remained about one year, at the end of which time the stock was valued at g 1937. 20. The town of West Chester was erected into a borough March 28, 1799, and William Sharjiles became the first burgess; being also reelected in 1807, and 1811. 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 Niess, under the firm name of Ketchum & Niess, who continued until March, 1804, when they 28o THE SHARPLESS FAMILY. failed, leaving their creditors to divide a considerable loss, and the store again fell into the hands of William Sharpies. In 1807, William Taylor became a partner in the store (Sharpies & Taylor), and continued three years, when he witl\,drew, as it is said, because Wm. Sharpies had decided to discontinue the sale of spirituous liquors. In 1815, 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.

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.

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 instnictive to my mind, and I hope will be lastingly remembered by me." [First edition, p. 1 16.] LINE OF J A COB s, JOSEPH^ 293 184.

Va. 341. Richard Howell^, Sarah4, 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 LINE OF ANN3,J0HN^. ^25 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 poetiy, 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., 1S76. 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. 1303. Sarah, b. S, 5, 1783 ; d. 8, 3, 1S68 ; m.

One account states that he was in the Batde of Brandywine and while attending to the wounded found himself within the English hnes. Watching his opportunity' he darted into a woods and though a ball passed through his hat he escaped. Two days after the batde 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 alaniied 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.

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. Attest, Amos Stillmax, 1 ^, , ,, „ \ Elders. Matthew Stillman, j 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. 359- Rachel Davis5, Susanna4, b. 8, 10, 175S; d. 2, 14, 1782 ; m.

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 catde, 10 sheep and 2 servants. At Chester Mo. Mtg., i, 27, 1766, his wife produced the following certificate from Friends in Co.

He was therefore disowned i, 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, 1818-1S21, and clerk to the board of Directors of the Poor, from 2, 20. 1799, till his death.

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. 26"', 1784. 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 lasdy 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, 181 2, 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. John Price married Abigail, widow of Enoch Job, and dau. of LINE OF RACHELS, JAMES^. 359 Ellsha and Rachel Gatchell, of East Nottingham, Chester Co., Pa., and had sons, EHsha and David. Her father was a prominent magistrate in his day, and an active participant in the border troubles with Maryland. She appears to have been a 7th-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.

He came to America in 1S24, in company with his parents or shortly after, and for a short time resided in Wilmington. He was for five years superintendent of a cotton factory at Rockland, Del., but in 1831, purchased a property at Rockford, on the Brandywine, near Wilmington, where he resided and conducted the cotton manufacturing business until his death. He often spoke in meetings of Friends, but was not acknowledged as a minister. He was much concerned in regard to the divisions in the Society, and labored diligently to promote a different state of affairs. In pursuance of this object he, shortly before his death, prepared a book entitled A Persuasive to Unity, which, by his direction, has been freely and widely distributed among those claiming to be Friends.

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), and on Nov. 27, in that year surveys of 150 acres each, were made for him and Robert Southery, in Bethel township. There he settled and died about the year 1721. By his wife, Margery, he had two sons, John and James, of whom the first died in 1706. James Gibbons^ m. 1708, Ann, dau. of George Peirce, of Thornbury, and settled in Westtown township on a farm of 600 acres, which now belongs to the Friends' Boarding School. They had three children, Mary, m. her 2d cousin, John Hannum^, James and Joseph. The last m. Hannah Marshall, and they were the parents of Mary, wife of William Hill (p. 245). James Gibbons3, b. 1710-11, m. 8, 10, 1734, Jane Sheward, from England, and settled on the homestead, where he died in 1745. His children were James, William, Jane and Thomas. James Gibbons-*, b. 5, 18, 1736, d. 10, 17, 1823, m. Eleanor, dau. of William Peters, of Aston, 12, i, 1756, and settled on the homestead, which he sold in 1795 to Friends for the use of a boarding school. He was a good scholar, and especially fond of the classics, — a regular book-worm, and a man of strong individuality. His children were Jane, Elizabeth, Ruth, John, Thomas, Eleanor, Joshua, James, Jemima, Lucy and William. William GibbonsS, b. 8, 17, 1781, d. 7, 25, 1S45, m. 5, 14, 1806, Rebecca Donaldson, of Wilmington, Del., where he soon after settled as a physician, and continued to reside. He had fourteen children, of whom all but the first-born survived him, and eleven were living at the death of their mother, I, 30, 1869, at the age of 83 years. Henry Gibbons*, 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 4o8 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL Y. 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 1S50, 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.

The sons of Joseph were men of remarkable physical development, and fine horsemen. At the beginning of the Revolution they were of good reputation, and in accordance with their Quaker education, proposed to remain neutral, but being surrounded by intolerant Whigs, they were goaded into a course which made their name a terror throughout Bucks and the neighboring counties.

In February, 1781, Irvin Hinton, a young teamster, started with a wagon from a block- house on the present site of Louisville, Ky., to bring a supply of provisions from Harrodsburg to the almost destitute families gathered at the fort for protection from the Indians. He was accompanied by Richard LaRue, aged 19, and George Holman, aged 16 years. Although mere boys there were none in the fort of greater intrepidity or skill in savage warfare, and the first had been in at least four Indian wars. They had traveled only about eight miles of the way when they fell into an ambuscade of thirteen Indians, led by the notorious renegade, Simon Girty. Having discharged their guns previously, on account of the wet from a light melting snow storm, they were unprepared to offer any resistance. Their captors took them northward, across the Ohio river, and after several days they arrived at an 2358. John, b. 9, 15, 1821 ; d. 6, ic 2359- Richard, b. 2, 22, 1823 ; 2360.

While their further fate remained undecided, Hinton attempted to escape, but was recaptured 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 1S05, 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 neivspapcr. Richard LaRue married a cousin of George Holman, but for some reason at present unknown, he dropped a jDart 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, 1751, he was naturalized as a citizen of Pennsylvania. George LaRue, of Chester Co., was naturalized Aug. 18, 1751. They were doubtless from France. 672. Elizabeth Smedley^, Phebe^, b. Uwchlan, Chester Co., Pa., 3, 8, 1783; d.

Sliarples was born on liis fatlier's farm in W. Goshen, now West Chester, and was 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, Hoff & Derrick, and assisted in publishing the "West Chester Gazette." On the failure of this newspaper he assisted his father in the store, until his i8th 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 18 17, 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 perfomied 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 1 8 18 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 1S32. 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 1S37, 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 comj)any 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 Wayiie, 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 1832 he erected, by order of that Ijody, 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 Westtovvn 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 1S27 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. —Extract from Memoir by P. P. S. 68g. Hannah Sharpies^, William4, b. u, 6, 17S5; d. 10, 5, 1843 ; m. Isaac Rogers, -. u, 1819.

He was one of the first members and for si.xteen 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 ui. With a gentle, upward tread ; Were time marked by deeds of goodness, Centuries had crowned her head. 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. 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. But when Sorrow was our inmate Or when Trouble pressed us sore. Or when Death approached our househ- She was ever at the dooi- ; 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 /A COB 3, JOSEPH^. 459 Mother's hand was not more tender To support each drooping limb, Or to part the chist'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 considereth 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, Willi the happy tiiougiits she six.ke. 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 slie 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 ! ' ' ■ 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 sulistance 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." 46o 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. Oh ! 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.

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. 901.

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 1818 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, Raleigh Oxford, Milton and Hillsborough. In 1826 he removed to the latter place and founded St. Matthew's Church. In 1837 ^^ 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., N. H. Cobb, of Ala., and George W. Freeman, of Arkansas. The degree 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 18S2. 498 THE SHARPLESS FAMIL V.

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 1S66, 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 Friend, 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 DANIEL 4^ DANlELs, JOHNk 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 o-et 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 Jane 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. 1501. Jane Sharpless*^, Johns, b. n, 28, 1826; m. 12, 3, 1856, at Chester Mtg., Charles L. Warner, of Philadelphia, b.

The following sketch was written but a short time before the death of Lydia Shipley, whose remarkable vigor of mind and body, in e.xtreme 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. 598 THE SHARPLESS 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. 1601.

J., writes thus : I have in my possession my grandfiither'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 fovorite 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 arginnent 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 son he should be called after him. When the Pennsylvania Hall 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. Wlien she got to them Garrison said it came to them like manna from Heaven. 684 ^^^ SHAliPLESS FAMILY. The first thing that I renumber in my life wa? seeing my father taking a ride on a fence rail, surrounded by a mob of drunken men from Mount Holly. Tiie tavern-keeper had given them a keg of whiskey to break up an anti-slavery meeting. My mother helped Charles Burleigh 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 lay around my pillow. My brother, Joseph Sharpless Clement, enlisted in the 2d Penna. Cavalry two weeks after the first Bull Run battle. After serving nearly three years he lost his life by men in ambush, while with Sheridan on his last raid around Gordonsville. 2094.

After spending a few years at the common schools, he was sent while a mere boy to Philadelphia to learn a mechanical business, because he had manifested an early fondness and a remarkable skill in the use of tools. When his task was finished in the city, and he came to his native place to establish himself in business, he was astonished to find that his reputation as a man of high moral worth and stern integrity had reached the town before him. He 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. 6S6 THE S?IARPLESS FAMILY. And these were his clients tliat 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 faitliful, 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 poverty never appealed to him in vain. And there was scarcely a litde 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 #250,000, 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.

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 jDOsition 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.

From recently discovered information tiiere 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 Himily, 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., )ames, 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 MAR\ J, HANNAH*, [OHNs, JOHN- 935 whether Henry, the emigrant, was not also the son of this Richard, and having left England was omitted from the English pedigree.

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 e.xertions. 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. 5444. James Pennell^, Joseph^, b. and d. Middletown twp., m.

Rebecca Caldwell, sister to John Sharpies', with her daughter, Mary Caldwell, and Sarah Steadman took up a tract of 1 80 acres in Nether Providence, adjoining the land of John Sharpies. This land was resurveyed 9, 5, 1703, and patented 3 mo. (May) 7, 1704 (or 1705), to William and Mary Swaffer. William Swaffer and his brother James came from Newton, Cheshire, Eng., arriving about 1 684. William Swaffer, of Nether Providence, and Mary " Caudwell," of Ridley, were married in the 6th month, 1694, at a meeting held at the house of Walter Faucet, in Ridley. Her mother and aunts, Mary Ellis and Jane Sharpies were among the witnesses. William was an active member of Chester Meeting and served at different times as an overseer. He died in Nether Providence, 2, 17, 1720, and his wife probably not long after. Children, — 1. Rebecca, b. i, 20, 1696-7, probably died unmarried.

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. NAME. PAGE. PAGE.
