THE WALKERS.

BERRY says : " The name of Walker, as appears by certain
records, was so called from their anciently holding various
employments in the Royal Forests, as Verderers, King's Forest-
ers, or Walkers, having the custody of certain walks, boundaries,
or allotments ; but at what remote period the surname of Walker,
simply, was adopted by any branch of the family as a distinguish-
ing appellation remains a matter of doubt."

There are many families of this name in Great Britain,
descendants of which have settled all over the world, and there
seems to be no connection between them, pointing to one
fountain head, as in some other patronymics. It is well repre-
sented in Burke ; every Biographical Dictionary has several
Walkers in its lists, and it has been said to have the longest list
of eminent men in biographical history. It was called " one of
the mighty Sixty," in the rolls of Great Britain, occupying
seventeenth place, — that is, there were sixteen families more
numerous than it.

The name also signifies " fuller," or weaver, in old English.
We have a Ralph Ganger, or Walker, who came in with William
of Normandy, too ; and if any of us wish to set up a coat-of-
arms, we may choose our crest and motto from the Peerage, and
flaunt it with the best of them. Plenty of American families
have tacked themselves on to an ancestor, with no better claim
than a similarity of name ; it may be that we descend from a
long line, with its root in the Norman Conquest, or earlier, but

2 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

we have nothing to prove it, or even to point that way. Our
first ancestor whom we can call by name — Lewis Walker — left
no mention of his father's name or people. There was nothing
extraordinary in this at that time. He was starting a new Hfe in
a new world, and " Lewis Walker, yeoman," sufficed. I have
tried to connect him with the older branch, but unsuccessfully.
What I did succeed in finding, I have put in the following pages.
My imagination has constructed, out of the little I had, a man
strong, brave, and true, who founded a family not unworthy of
him, — the members of which are scattered over a great part of
our country, and have been known for nearly two hundred years
as the Walkers of Chester Valley.

(fTijaptrr jFirst*

" LEWIS WALKER, YEOMAN."

THAT " the history of a family is a history of the land," is a
recognized truth of Genealogy. Without the homestead, the
members are separated ; with nothing to bind them together they
are scattered and lost, like beads when the string is broken.
There is no place where the tribe can meet, and where each one
can feel the interest of heredity in the trees that shelter it, and in
the streams that water the ancestral acres. What one sows a
stranger reaps, is too true in the present condition of our bustling,
restless life in America, and it is spoken of with pride when a
man can say, " I live in the house where my father and grand-
father have dwelt before me." We have some such homes in Penn-
sylvania, as all can testify, and one of the oldest, where for seven
generations one family has lived, for nearly two hundred years,
Walker following Walker, can be seen in Chester Valley, and is
the subject of my story.

It lies between the North and South Valley Hills, and
extends to the border line of Montgomery County. The creeks
that drain its fertile pastures empty themselves, after a mile or
more of pleasant loitering among green willowy nooks, into the
cheerful, calm bosom of the Schuylkill River. Here dwell the
farmer folk, the peaceful Quakers, descendants, for the most
part, of those men and women who, for the sake of a quiet en-
joyment of their religion, threw in their lot with those who came
to make a home for themselves and their children in tlie New
World. Here are the old homesteads where the scattered chil-

4 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

dren gather from far and near on days of family reunion, and up
on the hill-top, close to where the new Quaker meeting-house
looks proudly over the country side, is the old graveyard, where
they are, one by one, brought to sleep with their fathers, when
life is done. Let us pause a moment at this spot ; it is the
peacefulest resting-place, and before we have done our story all
these small green hillocks will seem like dear old friends. Stand-
ing here, let us look about us. What a wide sweep of pretty
country ! Green pastures where the cattle graze, where yellow
grain ripens on the upland, and old farm-houses nestle among
the sycamores and apple orchards, their many chimneys smoking
with the incense of hospitality, and through it all green country
roads leading out beyond the sight to Port Kennedy, Paoli,
King of Prussia, and Wayne.

On our left is the long woody range of the South Valley
Hill. Beyond that are the homes of wealth and luxury, that have
not yet succeeded in getting a foothold in this simple, pastoral
community. To the northwest Valley Forge is hidden from
view by the wooded eminence of Camp Hill and Mt. Joy. The
rising ground prevents, also, a sight of the Schuylkill River to
the north, not far away.

But before us and behind us, as far as we can see, the land,
with few exceptions, belongs to the Walkers, or to their kinsmen.
If they are not of the family, they have married into it. At one
time, less than fifty years ago, there was scarcely an exception ;
but several families have been obliged to leave their paternal acres
for other homes, and their land has passed to strangers. Directly
in front of us, between the four roads, and still the property of
the family, is the original Walker land, where our earliest Penn-
sylvania ancestor lived and died. The first settled part of this
section of the country w^as where Joseph Walker now lives,

the same that were erected nearly two hundred years ago.
Here, before 1708, came Lewis Walker and his wife, with their
family of little children, to make a home for themselves on virL^in
soil.

He had left Wales in 1686, arriving in Pennsylvania in 1687,
after "a tedious passage of thirteen months," it is said. A
mother and sisters were left behind him, but, though a desultory
correspondence was kept up between them, they never saw each
other again. We have no knowledge of the name of the ship
which brought him to these shores, and were it not for two old
letters that have come down to us, would we know anything of
his family in Great Britain.

The old chronicles, written by various members of his family
a hundred years ago, always say that he came from Merioneth-
shire,* Wales ; but this, we think, is a mistake. The following
letter, copied from a yellow and faded document that had lain
for more than a century with other papers in our great-great-
grandmother's desk, removes all doubt from my mind as to his
birthplace.

* Leah Moore is the authority for this, as will be seen by the following :

" I have in my possession a brass, leather-trimmed snuff bo.v, containing the follow-
ing memoranda :

" ' Lewis Walker, of the great Valley, Tredifiin Township, Philadelphia County, in
his youth left Marioneth in Wales 1686, had a tedious thirteen months on the water, 1687."

month since May last and is gone I dought not to a better place where she
shall look her Redeemer with joy and comfort in the face. I was very
Loath to part with her if I could have help't it but god almighty was
pleased to call her and we must all submit to his will. I had no assistance
from any one towards her subsistance when she was grown weak, but what
my own hands did administer to our reliefs and 1 bless [and] Glorifi god
we did not want for anything. I expected to have had a letter from
yo" before this time and would have come to yo" in this ship : but I have

I have a great desire to come over if I can get things ready for the next

for my passage I doe not dougt but in a short time to repay yo" againe, but
however I desire yo" not to faile to send me a letter by the first opertunity.

Isaac Phillpin's letter appears as a postscript to that of Jane
Walker. There is another letter from Jane Walker, a copy of
which will be inserted later.

The old Radnor records have several certificates of member-
ship from Redstone Meeting. Ellis Pugh and David Rees both
brought certificates of membership from there. In an old jour-
nal of a traveling preacher, whose name I neglected to record, I

have read that he went "to Pembrokeshire, and came to James
Lewis's house, not far from Redstone, and next day went to
Haverfordwest." In " Besse's Sufferings " occurs the following :
" Pembrokeshire, i66i, James Lewis is imprisoned for attending
a meeting [of Quakers]. 167 1, Henry Lewis of Redstone fined
25 sh. Corn was seized from Henry Lewis by a priest of Nar-
berth." He is also called " Henry Lewis of Narberth." Evan
Protherah, of Narberth, 1670, has goods worth £?,, losh. taken
from him for tithes. (An Evan Prothera was present at Lewis
Walker's wedding in 1693. See page 16). Hugh Roberts, a
preacher, went to Wales, into Pembrokeshire, " to Rediston, and
had a very precious meeting, thence to Haverfordwest ; return-
ing stopped at Redstone again, and had a very good meeting at
James Lewis's house." Adding these facts to the evidence con-
tained in Jane Walker's letter, I think we may decide that Lewis
Walker came to Pennsylvania from Pembrokeshire ; and I am
inclined to believe that he was one of those who came with
Rowland Ellis, Eighth month (October) 6th, 1686, from Milford
Haven, Pembrokeshire. Being a native of Redstone, he would
be likely to depart, along with his neighbors, from the nearest
port, which was Milford Haven, a very short distance from that
place. Rowland EUis took passage, along with about a hundred
of his neighbors, on a Bristol ship, bound for Pennsylvania, by
the southern route. It was winter, and the passage was a very
long one. Many of them died from hunger while at sea, and
others soon after their arrival, from the effects of the privations
which they had endured. The vessel touched at Barbadoes,
where they remained six weeks and recuperated somewhat.
They arrived in Pennsylvania at the beginning of 1687. The
tradition in the family that Lewis Walker and Mary Morris,
whom he afterwards married, left Wales in 1686, and arrived in
Pennsylvania in 1687, "after a tedious passage of thirteen

"LEWIS WALKER, YEOMAN." 9

months " (which last statement I have long doubted), makes it
seem very possible that they were among the passengers of this
ship. Lewis Walker was a young man, and a bachelor ; and he
first met the English girl, who afterwards became his wife and
the mother of our race, on the ship that carried them across the
ocean.

Ctjaptrr Scronti,

THE OLD HOME IN WALES.

WHILST visiting England in the summer of 1894, we went
into South Wales for the purpose of hunting up Redstone.
At that time we had not located it ; we only knew that it was in
Pembrokeshire. When we left London we felt that we were
going into a wilderness ; we had been warned of the poor accom-
modations we should find there, of the uncertainty of railway
travel, etc., till we fancied that we were doing an unheard-of
thing. For this reason we went direct to Tenby, a watering-
place mentioned in the guide books as one of the pleasantest on
the British coast. We afterwards found that there were small inns
in all the numerous towns of this part of Wales, at most of which
we undoubtedly could have been comfortable for a few days.
However, we did not regret having chosen Tenby ; we found it
a charming old town, with mediaeval walls and towers, and
beautiful views of Carmarthen Bay. From this little town we
made excursions all around the countr^^ which we found inter-
esting and beautiful. Yet we could find no trace of Redstone,
though we inquired at post offices and consulted local directories.
We had given it up, when one day returning from the inspection
of the ruined castle of Manorbeer, we stopped to get a cup of
tea at the station where we took the train for Tenby. While
eating her delicious bread and butter we asked the woman if she
knew of a place called Redstone. " Yes," she said, '' it must be
near Narberth ; it is the only Redstone I know." Consulting a
road map of the region about Tenby, we found the place where

THE OLD HOME IN WALES. II

she had located it. Afterwards, in a gazetteer of Great Britain,
we found it described as a " hamlet near Narberth, Pembroke-
shire, Wales." The next day we went to Narberth, a market
town, ten or twelve miles from Tenby, which we found a most
quaint old village, built of gray stone, with a ruined Norman
castle dominating the hill-side. Its winding streets go up and
down the hills, with narrow sidewalks and rough stony foot-ways.
There is also an old church, whose characteristic high square
tower is seen from afar. The houses are small and picturesque ;
I doubt if there has been a new one built this century. Follow-
ing the directions given, we took the road leading north out into
the country. Passing by several old mansions, shaded by trees
and hidden by hedges from the too inquisitive gaze of the foot-
passenger, we soon came to where the road terminated at its
junction with the main road that leads to Haverfordwest.
Directly in front of us was a farm house, and at the corner on
our left was a pretty little rose-embowered cottage. But where
was Redstone ? No one was in sight to whom we could apply for
information. It was pouring rain ; the cottage was near and very
inviting, and so we decided to ask our way there. The young
woman who came to the door in answer to our knock, told us
that we were in Redstone ; that the cottage was Redstone cottage,
and the other building was Redstone farm. I took from my
pocket a copy of the old letter written in 171 5, and commenced
a series of questions which so bewildered her, that it is possible
our respectable and sane appearance, only, saved us from being
considered lunatics. Fortunately her father came to the rescue,
and invited us into the house. We gladly accepted the invitation,
closed our dripping umbrellas and took the offered chairs by the
open fire in the pretty, cheery room. They had recently come
into the neighborhood, but they took an interest in our search,
and put us in the way of getting information, — the old gentleman

12 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

accompanying us without an umbrella in all the downpour. We
learned that there had been a Quaker meeting-house close by,
and a graveyard, though no trace of either now remains. Not a
hillock marks the place of sepulture, or distinguishes it from the
adjoining pasture land. There is another Friends' burying-
ground a few miles away, but there are no Quakers left in this
part of Pembrokeshire. A Welshman, called " Old Tom," who
was born and bred on the spot, showed us where the meeting-
house had been. At Narberth we hunted up the owner of Red-
stone, a Mr. Roblin, currier, who looked to be about seventy years
old. He told us that his father had bought Redstone in 1820,
it being part of a large estate. The farm comprised thirty acres
of land. The cottage, we were told, was built about one hun-
dred and fifty years ago, but the farm house was older, quite two
hundred years. It had always been known as Redstone.

On further inquiry we learned that the names mentioned in
Jane Walker's letter were all familiar ones in the vicinity ; and
we were told also that there was a nice piece of property waiting
for a missing heir of the Protherah family, which would be in-
herited by a cousin, if he were not soon found.

The name of Walker was unknown, but there were several
families in Pembrokeshire named Eynon, one of which had a
clock and watch store in Narberth. We think that Lewis
Walker's mother was an Eynon, because his sister Jane writes of
an " unkell Eynon " who went to fight against the French. The
Lewis family, which was also connected, as will be seen by refer-
ring to the same letter, has disappeared from the neighborhood.
Walker, we know, is not a Welsh, but an English name ; and I
believe that we are the only Quaker Walkers in this country.
Referring to " Besse's Sufferings " once more, I find that there
were several of this name in Yorkshire, in 1660 and 1664, who
suffered imprisonment for attending meetings at Sedburgh, and

THE OLD HOME IN WALES. It

for refusing the oath. I think that Lewis Walker's father might
have gone from Yorkshire into Wales, there married and died.
I have read that Quakerism was introduced into Wales from
Yorkshire. But all this may be foreign to the subject, as we do
not even know that he was a Quaker; his son, Lewis, was one,
because he was married according to the ceremony of Friends at
Haverford Meeting, and he was a prominent and valuable mem-
ber of the Society ; but when he joined it \vc do not know.
That he lived in this part of Wales is certain, and that he was
more English than Welsh seems clear. He did n<jt use the
Welsh language, and he was very tall, — his height being given
as six feet and four inches ; while the Welsh are usually a short,
thick-set people, and carry these characteristics down through
many generations.

However, this part of Wales is more English than Celtic, and
is called " Little England beyond Wales," being mainly peopled
by the descendants of a colony of Flemings, who were brought
here by Henry L, in 1 107, to help civilize the Welsh, by arts of
peace. They differ from the Welsh in language and character.
This part of the country is mostly agricultural ; its undulating
surface strongly reminded us of Eastern Pennsylvania. The
small cottages are picturesquely located. They are so old that
they seem a part of the soil, like the rocks, and are whitewashed
from the foundation stone to the chimney top. The numerous
small towns and villages are clustered about an old church,
whose tall, square tower has been a landmark for centuries to
the wayfaring man. The turbulency of the unconquered Celt
occasioned the necessity of many strongholds, or fortified castles,
whose ruins are now a source of income to the proprietors by
attracting many curious visitors to see these crumbling relics of
another time. The Eastern Pennsylvanian will constantly see in
Pembrokeshire the names of people and places as familiar to him

14 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

as his own, and it will be interesting to trace the differences that
climate and government have made between him and his Welsh
relations. As we stepped from the streets into the smooth paths
that led along hedgerows, far out into the fields of the country,
on our long walks of exploration, we felt the blood of our fore-
fathers leap in our veins. We walked where they had walked,
and gazed on the enchanting scenery on which their eyes had
rested. We felt that we were truly visiting our old home. We
doubt not their memories often returned with homesick longings
to these very spots while meditating in the quiet of Haverford,
Radnor, or Valley meeting-houses on a First-day morning.

THE NEW HOME IN PENNSYLVANIA.

LEWIS WALKER on arriving in Pennsylvania went to Rad-
nor, where he bought 300 acres of land of David Evans, and
rented 200 acres more. Radnor was one of the earliest settlements
of Pennsylvania, forming a part of the Welsh tract. In Proud's
" History of Pennsylvania," we read : " Among the adventurers
and settlers who arrived about this time, were many from Wales,
mostly Quakers. They had early purchased of the Proprietary
in England 40,000 acres of land on the west side of the Schuyl-
kill River, which included Merion, Haverford, and Radnor."
This was the Welsh tract, and " was given them that they might
preserve their language, and settle their difficulties in their own
tongue and with their own juries and magistrates, 'being
descended from the antient Britains,' and that they might not
entangle themselves with laws in an unknown tongue." As
early as 1690, there was a community of thirty families at Rad-
nor, mostly Quakers. Here Lewis Walker settled, and Second
month (April) 2 2d, 1693, he was married at Haverford Meeting-
house to Mary Morris. The Radnor Meeting Book of Marriage
has recorded, " Lewis Walker of Merion, batchelor, and Mary
Morris, spinster, married 2nd Mo. 22nd, 1693, at Haverford
Meeting House. Witnesses : — William P'lower, Francis and
William Howell, Morris and William Llewellin, and 38 others."
I insert the copy of the original marriage certificate, thinking
the offspring of this marriage will be interested to see what a

goodly show of people attended the wedding of their ancestors.

(Pennsylvania Archives, 3rd Series, Vol. 1. p. 15.)

Lewis Walker was not content with his Radnor property ; in
his wanderings and hunting trips (he is said to have been fond
of the chase) he had seen land more to his liking. Beyond the
densely wooded hill was a pleasant valley, w-ell watered and fer-
tile, waiting the hand of the farmer to produce abundant harvests.
A river lay beyond, ready to float the products of the farm to
the waiting markets of the city so rapidly growing at its mouth.
His prophetic eye saw the advantages of the place for a home,
and in the language of a local poet,

" He bought the land from hill to hill,
And his children's children live there still."

From a point on the South Valley Hill, we may stand to-day
where he is said to have stood, and see the same stretch of
country that excited the admiration of our ancestor, impelling
him to break up his settled home and start afresh as a pioneer,
beyond the forest, seven miles away. This is said to have been
a great trial to his wife, who had felt happy and safe at Radnor ;
the peril of the unknown was upon her, and her imagination

peopled the country with bears, and savage Indians. At last
her fears were overcome, and early in the century we find them
in their new home in the Chester Valley. I have not been able
to get the exact date at which they moved ; but Futhey and Cope,
in their " History of Chester County," name Lewis Walker as
the first settler of Tredyffrin township, in 1705. To quote fur-
ther from the same work, " Tredyffrin Township is situated in
the Great Valley in the most easterly part of the county. It is
part of a large tract which was surveyed for the Welsh, and was
principally taken up and settled by them. The name is Welsh,
and signifies valley town, or township. Tre, or tref, town ;
Dyffrin, a wide cultivated valley ; hence the compound ' Tredyf-
frin, the town or township in a wide cultivated valley.' The
township is sometimes called Valleytown or Valleyton in old
writings — an evident effort to anglicise the name. In a deed of
conveyance from Lewis Walker to Llewellyn David, in 1708,
the grantor is recited as ' of the township of Valleyton in the
county of Chester.' In the assessment of taxes in the year
1722, the name is spelled Tre yr Dyffiyn. The date of the
organization of the township is not certainly known, but it was
prior to the year 1707, as in that year Thomas David repre-
sented the township as constable."

The section first occupied and cultivated as a homestead
comprised the farms now owned by Joseph and Mathias Walker ;
but in a short time he owned all the land extending west from
the Montgomery County line as far as what is now called the
Baptist Road. The Swedesford and the Back roads marked the
north and south limits of this tract. But he had other property
in the neighborhood ; and, before he died, must have been
possessed of nearly 1 000 acres in Tredyffrin township. Although
it had been held in other names — having been taken up for spec-
ulation— it was still virgin soil. Some of it was purchased from

John Kinscy, who held a large section of the country in his
name.* (See Appendix A.)

Lewis Walker, after the English manner, gave a name to his 1
new home, and for many years it was known as " Rchobeth."
It is a singular coincidence that the first New England Walkers
were settled in Rehobcth, Massachusetts. One of the (jIcI
" Family Chronicles," written years ago by Marian Walker
Meares, of Philadelphia, says : " Moving seven miles further into
the wilderness he set up his home by one of the most beautiful
springs of that fertile spot, which he called ' Rchobeth.' This
spring now, as then, throws up its sparkling waters, and his

Fortunately the early settlers of Pennsylvania were never
reduced to the straits of the Pilgrims and Puritans of bleak New
England. There were deer, turkeys and pigeons in the woods,
shad and other kinds of fish in the rivers, and many kinds of fruit
growing wild around them.*

The house which Lewis Walker built at " Rehobeth," was
situated on a sunny slope, shaded by walnut and sycamore trees,
and is supposed to have been built of stone which was dug
from a quarry near at hand, the same " old quarr\'," grass-grown
and cedar-crowned, that now forms a picturesque background to
the buildings. As has been remarked before, a part of this old
house is still standing, and comprises a part of the eastern end of
the present structure. This house was a large building for the
times ; it was suf^ciently large for a meeting to be held in it for
many years. One of the lower rooms was separated by a mov-
able partition into two, for the use of the business meetings of
the Society of Friends, as we see them in the meeting-houses of
the present day. We know that in 171 3 "Stephen Bevans and
Lewis Walker have requested to have a meeting sometimes at
the house of Lewis Walker. This meeting do condescend that
Friends may keep a meeting at Lewis W^alker's the first day of
the week in the Sixth and Eighth months next." (Radnor
Records.)

I read in some old history of Friends, that in 17 14, the
" Friends inhabiting Perquaming (Perkiomen) and this side of
Schuylkill in ye Valley being desirous yt a meeting be allowed

ym every other mo. to be and hc<^\n att Lewis Walker'.s house
the first in 2d mo. next, and thence every other month at Joseph
Richardson's house until ye 9th mo. next." These mectinjjs
were continued at Lewis Walker's house until 173 i, when tliey
were transferred to the new meeting-house on the hill. In an
old Quaker Journal, before mentioned, the preacher writes :
" 1st mo. 14th, 1722. At Lewis Walker's in tlie Great Valley,
where we had a large meeting out of doors, with many other pro-
fessors. All were attentive and the Gospel Power and testimony
went freely forth." Li 17 18, "Joseph Thomas and Jemima
David were married at Lewis Walker's house."

About 1728, the Haverford Monthly Meeting appointed a
committee to aid the Valley Friends in fixing a site for a
meeting-house. It left them at liberty to build the said house
" at the grave-yard near Lewis Walker's, deceased, which was
left by the said Lewis by his last Will for that purpose."

But in these intervening years much had been accomplished.
When they first went to " Rehobeth," there was no communi-
cation with the outside world except by trails ; roads had been
laid out, lands cleared, barns built, orchards set out ; and thus
with sowing and reaping, and bu)-ing and selling, the years flew
by, until the 23d of December, 1728, when Lewis Walker's
busy and useful life came to an end. He was buried in the
grave -yard on the hill, on his own land, which he had bequeathed
in his Will to the " use of the Friends forever." It was formerly
one of the particular tenets of the Friends that marble or stone
should not distinguish the graves of their dead, and for this rea-
son it is not positively known which of the numerous graves in
this old yard belongs to him ; but there are two mounds, notice-
able for their length, which have always been pointed out as
belonging, one to Lewis Walker and the other to his serving
man, but which is which it is impossible to determine.

2 2 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

The following is taken from The Friend, Vol. XXIX., p. 268,
published at Philadelphia, Fifth month 3d, 1856, and entitled:
" Biographical Sketches of Ministers and Elders, and other
concerned members of the Yearly Meeting of Philadelphia."

"LEWIS WALKER.
"This Friend, who is spoken of as a 'worthy elder,' belonged to
Haverford Monthly Meeting, but his farm was in the Valley. ' He had a
meeting at his house for several years, and was instrumental in settling a
meeting there. He gave a lot of ground to the use of Friends of that meet-
ing where the Meeting-house is built. He lived in love and unity with his
friends.' He died on the 23rd of the Tenth Month, 1728, and was buried
at Friends' burying ground in the Valley."

The last Will and Testament of Lewis Walker, probated
before Peter Evans, Register General, 24th day of January,
1728.

OLD FAMILY PAPERS.

T INSERT the following old papers, which are interesting as
illustrating the colonial farm-life of the day, as well as having a
genealogical value. For years they lay undisturbed in a neat
little walnut desk, that was brought into the family by Sarah
Thomas, whose initials it bore. She married Joseph Walker,
a grandson of Lewis Walker ; the box with its contents came
into the possession of Zillah Kendall, a granddaughter of
Joseph Walker, and is now owned by her son, William W.
Kendall, of Philadelphia.

The oldest paper was a receipt for money received by Griffith
Miles from Lewis Walker, dated 1695.

1700. " This bill bindeth me Lewis Walker of the Township of Rad-
nor, County of Chester within the Province of Pennsylvania, Planter, to
pay unto Evan Prothero of the same Township, County and Province, or
to his certayn Attorney, his Executors, Administrators or Assignees the
sum of Twelve Pounds and Twelve shillings current silver money of the
said Province at or upon the First day of the Sixth Month next after the
date hereof to which payment well and truly to be made I bind myself,

It had been a question in the family as to what had become
of the sister, Jane Walker, who had written the letter from
" Redstone." Some thought that she had come to Pennsylvania,
as was her evident intention ; while a more romantic maiden
fancied that she had married Isaac Phillpin, who had seemed
interested in her. This uncertainty was cleared up, fortunately,
by another old letter, recently discovered, poorly written on
coarse paper, folded square and sealed.

In 17 1 2 Thomas Waters and Lewis Walker could not agree
concerning the boundary line of certain lands. Instead of going
to law about it. arbitrators were chosen, as was the custom among
Friends at that time, who decided that Lewis Walker should
give up his claim, and that Thomas Waters should pay him at
two different times the sum of ^^3 i is. 6d.

On the 26th of May, 17 19, " Hugh William, John Jones, John
Morgan, Lewis Rees, Lewis Lewis, and Morgan Jones laid out a
road beginning at the grave yard near Lewis Walker's to the High
Road." This road w'ent through the lands of James Davids, Morris
Davids and Thomas Simmons " to the High Road at INIargaret
Samuel's." The road over the hill to Radnor, and that to
Swedesford on the Schuylkill, were laid out in 17 13. There
seems to have been some trouble in locating these roads, judging
from the petitions found in the little desk. There were some
who wanted the Swedesford road higher up on the hill than
it now is.

OLD FAMILY PAPERS.

31

When Lewis Walker died he had been forty-two years in
America, and more than half of this time he had iixcd in
Tredyffrin ; he had come to it a wilderness, and had left it a
flourishing settlement. His eight children were grown up, and
nearly all of them married and settled on farms near him. His
widow continued to live at " Rehobeth " until her death. Her
will was probated on the 19th day of March, 1747. She was
buried by the side of her husband. We have no knowledge of
her family. If she came to Pennsylvania with her parents or
relations they must have died, or had a different surname, as no
one of the name of Morris signed her marriage certificate,
excepting a Morris Llewellyn. It was customary at that time for
the children of Welsh parents to take the first name of their
father for their last name, and this might have been the case with
Mary Morris. It is recorded that she was eighty years old at
the time of her death ; therefore she must have been born in the
year 1667. The youngest son, Isaac, lived with the mother and
cultivated the farm. The terms of their contract are shown in
the following indenture :

This Indenture made the 20th day of Aug. 1736 being the 9th year of

SECOND GENERATION.

NO. 2. Daniel W.\lker- (Lewis ^), born at Radnor, Penna.,
2d mo. 26th, 1694, died at Tredyffrin Township, Chester
County, Penna., in 1772, married Lydia Barnard, daughter of
Richard Barnard, who came from Sheffield, England, in the year
1682, and settled in Middletown, Delaware County, Penna. (See
Smith's " History of Delaware County.") Daniel Walker took
his bride to a farm given him by his father, in the Deed of which
he is called " Heir apparent of Lewis and Mary Walker."
(This farm is now owned by David Abraham.) Here he resided
for many years, until his death. The old house, in a good state
of preservation, is still standing. Daniel Walker was but
twenty-one years old when he married. His name appears as a
resident land-owner in the assessment of 1722 ; also in the list
of Constables serving between 1707 and 1753, in the list of
Supervisors of Roads from 1725 to 1753, and in the list of
taxables for 1753. His will is recorded at Philadelphia, in
which he leaves all his real estate to his wife ; to his children
Rebecca, Daniel, and Zillah, £10 each ; to his son Jacob his
writing-desk ; to Beulah Richards, his daughter, his one-horse
chaise and harness when her mother is done with it. All the
property after the mother's death goes to the children. His
wife's will is also recorded at Philadelphia. She died in the year
1 774 ; she calls herself " of Coventry Township, Chester County,"
and was evidently living there at the time with her son-in-law,
James Thomas, whom she mentions in her will. She leaves a
legacy of ten pounds to the Friends' Meeting-house in the Valley.

SFXOND GENERATION.

41

After the death of his mother, Daniel Walker entered a claim
to certain lands and rij^hts in the estate, which were resisted by
the family of his brother Isaac. To show how these family dis-
agreements were adjusted in those days, as well as to give the
names of certain residents of that part of Chester Valley, I in-
sert copies of the papers relating thereto.

We whose names are underwritten, being neighbors of yc unhappy
persons whose decision depends upon your determination, ye which judge-
ment we dont doubt will be according to equity and Impartiality (if properly
informed) intending no offense or impartiality to any person immediately
concerned or you who is called to their assistance, to lay down our opinion
and that which we frequently and generally hear of others of our neighbors
when discussing about ye affair yt [illegible] or intend to reserve part of
that land called Kethins* for wood to support ye plantation which he lived
on (which is known to us to be scarce without it) and as to Daniel's selling
part of it to pay Debts due on the estate wc say nothing by reason of ye
equity of it is not plain to us.

But it appears to us if Daniel is made possessor of what he now by
report lays claim to, Viz, having an hereditary right to part of all ye land
left to Mary Walker it will by all appear and reduce Isaac Walker's widow
and her five small children to a narrow livelihood if not to the charity of
meeting or other good Christians. We have had dealings with Isaac
Walker and some with his son after him, we have ever found them just and
generous therein and not critical in their accounts, ^^"e therefore desire
you to consider ye widow and ye fatherless and to show mercy if it were in
the midst of judgment.

42 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

Those who have signed hereunto doth not Hve to exceed two miles and
a half difference from said parties.

Addressed

To Mr. Isaac Norrice & Consorts, &c. .ic.

At the request of Joseph Walker, son of Isaac, these may inform you,
the arbitrators on that case depending between Daniel Walker and the said
Joseph Walker concerning that piece of land in dispute, I have not much
to say, in respect of the Property [of that land] for this reason. When
Mary Walker the testator was on that paragraph bequeathing that tract of
land and Plantation to her son Isaac, &c. where she then lived, I asked
what quantity it might be ; her answer was as it is expressed in her will,
Two hundred and two Acres more or less, and whether she thought the
words " more or less " in the meaning might include the whole and by that
no room for others to claim, I cannot say. I hope since the parties put
their cause to referrence to men of understanding beyond my capacity they
will judge and determine the Property according to Equity, and further
touching the bill of charge drawn against the Estate, considering the Pay-
ment of the several Legacies and other former debts contracted on that
Estate in my opinion that bill ought not to be allowed in manner and form.

Thomas Thomas.
Radnor, jth Mo. nth Day, 1736.

It is evident from the above that Thomas Thomas wrote the
will of Mary Walker. The following throws additional light on
the subject :

Whereas Daniel Walker lays claim to a certain piece of land in the
actual possession of Joseph and Sarah Walker which was absolutely ye
estate of the late Mary Walker, Dec'd. left to her by Will of her husband
Lewis Walker, Dec'd. whereas we have chosen Arbitrators to make a final
end determination concerning this piece of land which the said Daniel
pretends to have a right to. The Arbitrators are as foUoweth : Rowland
Evans, Esq. of North Wales, and Thomas Jones of Blockley and John
Smith and William Fishor of Philadelphia who are to inspect into the right
of Daniel Walker in justice and equity and if any Right the[y] find, a
value set thereon, and in case they cannot agree they have full power to
choose an Umpire and give their award in writing thereto.

SECOND GENERATION. 43

I do not know the decision of the arbitrators, only that
Daniel received ^22, i8.s. 5d. for his share of the disputed
property.

In the Pt'Jinsyivania Magazi)ic of Histojy and Biography, Vol.
XVII., in article entitled, "The Old Iron Forge, Valley Forge,"
by H. M. Jenkins, we find that Daniel Walker was one of the
original owners of the Valley Forge. It was first called Mount
Joy Forge, and was built by a partnership composed of Stephen
Evans, Daniel Walker, and Joseph Williams, between December,
1742, and April, 175 1. It stood on the lower east side of
Valley Creek, in what is now Montgomery County ; it was
burned by the British in 1777. The Valley Forge property was
originally part of the estate of Letitia Penn, a gift from her
father, the founder. Wm. I^enn, his grandson, was fourth owner,
who conveyed 175 acres of it to Stephen Evans and Daniel
Walker, February ist, 1741— '42 (5th conveyance). They con-
veyed it to Isaac Walker five days later, December i8th, 1742.
Isaac Walker and Sarah, his wife, reconveyed the tract, with
precisely the same metes and bounds and the same extended
recitations of title, to Stephen Evans and Daniel Walker, from
whom he had just received it, and Joseph Williams of Lower
Merion, miller.

In the Pennsylvania Gazette, April 4th, 1751, appears this

advertisement :

To be sold, the third part of Mount Joy Forge, situate in Upper Mer-
ion on the River Schuylkill, by the great road leading from Philadelphia to
the French Creek Iron Works, 20 miles from Philadelphia and not so far
distant from three furnaces ; the said works are in good repair, with one
third of the utensils to be sold also 1 20 acres of land belonging thereto ;
for title and terms inquire of Daniel Walker living near the said premises.

According to H. M. Jenkins, whose article on Valley Forge
I have referred to and quoted, this property included the grounds

44 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

on which Washington's Headquarters now stands, as well as " a
considerable part of the encampment site." The high wooded
hill on the other side of the Valley Creek was called Mount
Misery. It is said that Wm. Penn himself gave the names to
these two commanding eminences, to commemorate the occasion
when he lost his way on Mount Misery, and after much wander-
ing was found on Mount Joy. They are known by these names
to the present day.

Daniel and Lydia (Barnard) Walker had eight children :

two ewes and lambs to P^lizabeth Walker, daughter of Lewis
Walker, May 13th, 171 2.

Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. XIX., contains
the following reference to the Hammer family : " 20th i ith Mo.
171 3. James Hamer of the County of Philadelphia desiring to
purchase 300 A. of land in the Manor of Gilberts next above
that part of it where Jonas Potts is settled upon a lease granted
him about the year 1708, agrees to pay ^75 for the same."

Mannor of Gilberts above Parkeocoming, granted to his father for

warrant to James Hammer for 200 A. at £10 p. Ct., dated 10th
mo. 8th, 1717."

James Hammer, Sr., in his will recorded at Philadelphia,
bequeaths his property to his son James, and mentions his chil-
dren Adam, Mary, Sarah, Deborah, and Margaret Hammer,
while to his wife he leaves an annuity of los. and some furniture.
Lewis Walker and Joseph Richardson are trustees. James
Hammer, Jr., who married Elizabeth Walker, died in the year
1748. His will is also recorded at Philadelphia. He calls him-
self a native of Philadelphia, and mentions his sons James,
Samuel, Abel and Lewis, and his daughters Margaret, Marj-,

known of Joseph Walker. There is no record of any children

born to them ; as ^Iar\- Walker left legacies to many, if not all

of her grandchildren, and Joseph's children are not mentioned,

it is probable that they had none. A little note to his father is

in existence, which I insert here.

be our Joseph, but the names are family names, and for that rea-
son I insert it.

No. 5. Hannah Walker ^ (Lewis ^) born at Radnor, Penna.,
9th mo. 15th, 1699, married Samuel P>ans, of Gwynedd,
"Cooper," 4th mo. 15th, 1724, at a meeting of her father's
house. The marriage was witnessed by Hugh and John Evans,
Lewis, Mary, Daniel, Lydia, Joseph, Enoch, Abel, Isaac, Eliza-
beth Walker, and 68 others.

Samuel Evans was the son of Owen and Elizabeth Evans.
A very interesting account of the l^vans family is given in
" Historical Collections of Gwynedd," by Howard M. Jenkins.
For the benefit of those who have not access to this bookT will
give a few extracts. Owen ap Evan was one of four brothers
who settled in Gwynedd in 1698. They were William. Thomas,
Owen, and Cadwallader. Their father Evan ap P^van, of W'ales,
was son of levan, or Evan Robert Lewis (born 1585), of Mer-
ionethshire, Wales. They trace their descent back through
many generations to Mervyn Vrych, king of Man, one of tlie
Welsh Princes of the little island, who married Essylt, daughter
and sole heiress of Conan Tyndaethwg, King of Wales, who
died 818-20. Both Mervyn and Essylt were descended from
Llud, King of Britain, brother of Caswallon, the chief who re-
sisted Csesar and whom he calls Casscvallaunus.

Samuel and Hannah (Walker) Evans had six children :

in.inicd April ::ist, 1727, Mary, daughter of Thomas and EHza-
beth Jcinian. of Trcdyffrin Township, Chester County, Penna.
Thomas Jerman is spoken of as " a noted Quaker preacher and
thrifty miller," who settled early in Chester Valley. "March
1st, 1697-8, an agreement was entered between Thomas Owen of
the County Borough of Carmarthen and Mercer owner of the good
ship ' William Galley,' Saml. Haines, master, riding in the River
Towy, on the one part, and on the other between David Powell
of the Parish of Nantmell, in the County of Radnor, and John
Morris of the Parish of Karbadam fynyth in the same county to
carry a number of persons to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania at a
cost of £s each for all passengers above twelve years."

It also provided for their goods and for their maintenance
during the voyage. The vessel was to sail May loth, 1697-98,
provided the wind was favorable. Among the subscribers was
Thomas Jerman, who arranged for three passeng.ers. Thomas
Jerman died 1740, his wife a year later. In his will he leaves
300 acres of land to his daughter Mary Walker. A daughter
Elizabeth married Captain Patrick Anderson, of Schuylkill
Township.

Enoch and Maiy (Jerman) Walker were married at the house
of Evan Jones. It was witnessed by Lewis, Mary and Daniel
Walker, John, Mary, Thomas and Elizabeth Jerman.

P2noch Walker's name is among those who served as con-
stables in Tredyffrin Township from 1707 to 1753, as well as
among the road supervisors, serving from 1725 to 1753. He
lived, it is supposed, on the farm joining his brother Daniel's
land on the east, as that tract of land was left him in his father's
will. They had six children :

No. 7. Abel Walker' (Lewis ') born 7th mo. 17th, 1703,
married Sinah Pugh, born 1709, daughter of Ellis and Mary
(Evans) Pugh, at a public meeting at Gwynedd, 4th month 13th,
1727. Her mother, Mary Evans, was a daughter of Owen and
Elizabeth Evans, of Gwynedd. (See No. 5.) She married 3d
mo. 3d, 1708, Ellis Pugh, son of Ellis and Sinah Pugh, of
Radnor. The Pughs, in the "Visitation of Wales," are cited as
descending from one ap Hitgh ; some of them trace their descent
through a long line of ancestors, which includes Jupiter and
Noah, to "Adam, the first man that God created." Ellis Pugh,
the grandfather of Abel Walker's wife, was born in the Parish of
Dolgelly, Merionethshire, Wales, 6th mo., 1656. His father
died before his birth, his mother a few days afterwards ; he was
converted to Quakerism in 1674, when he was eighteen years
old, by the preaching of John ap John, commenced preaching in
1680, and came to Pennsylvania with his wife Sinah and some
children in 1687. They brought their certificate of membership,
dated 1686, from Redstone Monthly Meeting, Pembrokeshire,
Wales, to Radnor Monthly Meeting. It is recorded in the Penn-
sylvania Archives that Ellis ap Hugh took up 182 acres of
land in the Welsh Tract, July i6th, 1886. He made a visit to

5© GENEALOGY OF THE WAIRER FAMILY.

Great Britain in 1706, returning in 1708. There is a short bio-
graphical sketch of liim in " Piety Promoted," Vol. II. He died
1718. He is spoken of in the old records as " a very .serviceable
person and of exalted character."

Abstract of the will of Plllis Pugh : " Ellis Pugh of Phila-
delphia, mason, sons, Thomas, Job and Ellis, son-in-law Ellis
Roberts, granddaughters Katherine and Mary Meredith, Sinah
Pugh, grandson Ellis Pugh, daughter Ellen Davis. Wife's
name not given. Son Job, executor. Overseers, son-in-law,
Meredith Davids, David IMeredith, John Moore, Robert Jones.
Witnesses, John Moore, William Griffith, Cadwalader Jones,
Robert Jones. Signed, November 29th, 17 18. Proved March
1 6th, 1 7 18-9. Recorded at Philadelphia, Book D, p. 116."

Ellis and Sinah Pugh had children — Ellis, who married Mary
Evans; Thomas, married Jane Roger (See No. 106); PZllen,
married Meredith Davis or Davids ; Job, born at Radnor, 1693,
married 7th mo. i6th, 1731, Phcebe Evans, of Radnor, widow,
at Plymouth Meeting-house, [his will, dated 1757, " of Nor-
riton, yeoman," mentions brothers Ellis and Thomas, sister
Elizabeth, stepchildren Evans, granddaughter Sinah Pugh.
Executors, Hananiah and Michael Pugh,] and Abraham Pugh,
born at Radnor, 1695, who probably died young.*

Ellis Pugh, 2d, died before his wife, and she married, second,
William Roberts, son of Edward, of Merion, 9th mo. 13th,
1736. She survived her second husband also, and passed the
last years of her life with her daughter, Sinah Walker. Her

married Joan Price " at John Jarmans house, Radnor," 1692. Two sons were born —
David, 1694. and James, 1695. He moved to Chester County in 1714. I think this
family settled Pughtown, Chester County. Jonathan Pugh, born 1734, flied 1798, lived
and died there. His grandson, Joseph T. Pugh, of New Brighton, Beaver County, Pa.,
born 1st mo. 6th, 1809. writes that he is the earliest ancestor of whom he has any knowl-
edge.

will was made 1748, and proved in August of the same year.
In it are mentioned her grandsons P'llis and Elijah Pugh, her
granddaughter Mary Pugh, her only daughter Sinah Walker,
the daughters of her son, Ellis Roberts, her brothers John, Cad-
walader, and Thomas.

Abel and Sinah Walker lived for some years in Chester Val-
ley, on the farm bequeathed him by his father, and here all his
children were born. He sold this place, and 5th mo. 14th, 1747,
is the date of the removal of the certificate of himself, his wife
and children from Radnor Monthly Meeting to Hopewell, Va.
His aged mother-in-law accompanied them. It is written that
"she was a wt)rth}- Friend, being so mindful of her latter end
that she prepared and took with her her last wrapping linen."

They settled at trailing Waters, in the Shenandoah Valley,
not far from Martinsburg. They, with many of their descen-
dants, were members of Hopewell Monthly Meeting. The
descendants of Abel Walker are more widely scattered than any
other branch of the family. Many of them ha\'e attained emi-
nence and all are worthy citizens. The old Virginia homestead
is, I believe, still standing, and in possession of a member of the
family.

Abel and Sinah (Pugh) Walker had nine children :

Isaac Walker took his seventeen-year-old bride to the home-
stead, " Rehobeth," where they lived with his mother until her
death, when he inherited it, along with the one hundred acres left
him by his father. He thus came into possession of all that
tract of land bound by the four roads, which now comprises the
three farms of Joseph, Mathias and William H. Walker. A
handsome inlaid walnut chest, marked with her initials, which
Sarah Jerman brought to the house to which she came as a
bride, is still there, a valued heirloom of her great-great-grandson,
Joseph Walker. Isaac Walker's name is among the list of road
supervisors from 1725 to 1 75 3, as well as in the list of taxables
of 1753. He died intestate 2d mo. 23d, 1755. I have seen a

piece of writing, the commencement of his will, but he had got
no further than " I commit my soul to God, and my body to be
decently buried." Dying- without making a will his eldest son
Joseph was administrator, and many curious bills and papers were
thus preserved to us, which aid us in our genealogical research,
as well as enlightening us in the customs of the times.

The next paper I copy is somewhat obscure ; I do not think
Isaac Walker ever kept a tavern, yet here is a hcense to sell
beer and cider. They might have been sold as farm products.
The apples and cider of " Rehobeth " have always been famous,
and in those days beer was brewed in every well regulated house-
hold. Even Wm. Penn hoped to rival the French in wines made
in his province.

Court next, he giving security and observing all the laws and ordinances
made or to be made relating thereto.

There is a very long shoe bill from which I make some
extracts, to show the value of shoes in 1752. The boys' shoes
cost 7s. 6d. pair. Rachel's (a four-year-old daughter) 3s. 6d.,
for soling a pair of pumps 2s. 6d., and for " ye wife's shoes " 6s.
There are in all about three dozen pairs of shoes and pumps
covering a period of nearly three years, besides a great deal of
patching and soling. There are shoes for " both Sallies," for
"Bettie," Ben and Esther Racket, Mol Murphy and "Joe's
wife and child." The shoemaker also supplied a raccoon hat for
1 8s., three felt hats at 5s. apiece, and a quarter of veal for 2s.
6d. Michael Willys was the shoemaker.

I supplement the above by presenting a copy of a bill show-
ing some of the household expenses of that period.

Another bill has among the items charged for, a spelling-
book at I OS., an exorbitant price when we consider that its
equivalent, $2.50, represented in those days five times its present
value. No wonder spelling was a luxury. The new gowns
were of calimanco and camblet, and 4s. is the price paid for the
making of three short gowns.

The funeral expenses of those days were much increased by
the necessary entertainment of the guests. A family would have
been severely criticised if it had neglected to bid the neighbors
and kinsmen from far and near to assist at a burial, as well as to
provide them with a good dinner afterwards. The following
small bills will show us some of the details :

Joseph Mitchell.

Tredy. ye 17th of 4th Mo. 1756.

There were two school bills paid out of the estate. One
dated 1755, "Paid to Samuel Willis £^ 4s. for a quarter's
schooling for two children." Another dated the 27th of Sept.,
1756, when Samuel Willis acknowledges the receipt of £2 for
three quarters schooling for two children " due the last of Janu-
ary by agreement of the said Isaac Walker in his lifetime."

It would be interesting to know where the school was kept.
There must have been some means of education in the neighbor-
hood, as even in the time of Lewis Walker his children wrote a
very fair signature. In Philadelphia there were sex'cral very
good schools, but they were too far off to be of advantage to
our colonists. It is well known that the Quakers early appre-
ciated the necessity of good schools, and Enoch P^lower adver-
tises as early as 1683 his terms for teaching to read, write, and
cast up accounts (Proud's " History of Penns}'h'ania ").

6o GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

Sarah, the widow of Isaac Walker, continued to reside at the
homestead until her second marriage with Jacob Thomas, of
Willistown, istmo. 25th, 1759. They were married at Newtown
Meeting, and it was witnessed by Jacob, Jr., Isaac, William and
Hezekiah Thomas, Joseph, Daniel, Sarah, Beulah, Sarah Walker,
and thirty-five others. A few months previously, Dec. 8th,
1758, she had released to her son Joseph her share of the estate
for ;^50. The home farm at this time comprised 268 acres, as
Joseph, the eldest son, had received 100 acres out of the west
end for his inheritance before his father's death. Each of the
children on coming of age released their rights to their elder
brother for ;^ioo, and thus Joseph Walker came into possession
of the original tract, the plantation of his grandfather, Lewis
Walker. (See Appendix B.)

Sarah Walker must have taken her younger children with
her to her new home, as her son Benjamin writes himself "of
Willistown," and both he and his sister Rachel married there.
Jacob Thomas, her second husband, did not live long after his
marriage; his will, written 3d mo. 28th, 1760, probated Oct. 2d,
1765, mentions his wife Sarah, children Joseph Walker, his
brother Joseph, step-son Benjamin Walker, step-daughter Rachel
Walker, nephew Jacob Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, and Abraham
Thomas, friend John Evans. Exec, Sarah Thomas, Joseph
Walker ; witnesses, Thomas Waters and Jonathan Roberts.

Sarah Thomas lived until April 26th, 1802, and had almost
reached her ninetieth year. She is represented as being a woman
of unusual ability. Because she sometimes put "her mark " to
business papers along with her signature is no proof that she
could not write her name. I am told by those well informed on
the subject that this was frequently done in those times, as affir-
mation to the signature to give it emphasis, as some used a seal.
Leah W. Moore, one of her descendants, thus writes of her :

SECOND GENERATION. 6 1

'I'he eloquent tongue or pen of a ready writer, can they set forth all
her virtues ? In her last sickness she appeared all love. As she lived, she
died, advising her children to live in love. One evening during her illness
one of her grandchildren, Enoch Walker, sitting by her bedside, spoke in
an affectionate manner of his dearly beloved grandmother, how she had
been blessed from her youth until a good old age, what a large family she
was going to leave, and not a profane person amongst them. She died
most calmly and peacefully. Her parents died in her minority, and I have
heard her say how blessed her life had been. How the Lord had tenderly
cared for her all her life. She was a most tender, affectionate mother, a
good neighbor, most careful and tender for poor bound children, saying
such had none but the Lord to cry unto. She was my great-grandmother.
I remember well saying to her, " Why, thee don't look much older than my
grandfather." She replied, " I am only eighteen years older." She died
9th mo. 26th, 1802, at the house of her daughter Rachel, at Eastown, and
was buried in the Valley Graveyard by the side of her husband Isaac
Walker. The number of her children, grandchildren and great-grand-
children was one hundred and sixty two.

Isaac and Sarah (Jerman) Walker had eleven children :

Thomas, son of Thomas Maule, " late of Salem, New England,"
a merchant of Philadelphia. She is said to have been a most
comely damsel, and while on a visit to Philadelphia so attracted
the attention of the young merchant of whom she was making
some purchases that he desired to become better acquainted.
He therefore adopted the happy expedient of not being able to
make the right change, and promised to take it himself to her
home in the Valley on the following " First Day." He rode up
with the money at the appointed time, and was so much pleased
with his visit that he came again, and yet again, and it ended in
a wedding at the Valley Meeting-house on the loth day of 8th
nio- 1753- Although the acquaintance had a romantic begin-
ning, we may be sure Daniel and Lydia Walker had a knowl-
edge of the stranger's family before he was admitted into their
household, and as they were married by Meeting, a strict inquiry
would be made into his character and antecedents before consent
would be given to the marriage.

Radnor to Philadelphia Monthly Meeting 12th mo. 13th, 1753.

The Richards family were among the earliest settlers of Tredyf-
frin, their land lying along the Schuylkill River between Valley
Forge and what is now Port Kennedy. The old homestead,
still standing, is now owned by Mr. Joseph Patterson.

In the " Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography,"
Vol. \l., I find there was an Owen Richards who emigrated
before 1718, and that Rowland Richards, of Merion, purchased
land in Tredyffrin 1707-8. It is supposed that Owen and Row-
land were brothers. Rowland Richards, who died in 1720, had

Thomas at Radnor Meeting-house, ist mo. 4th, 1764. The
marriage was witnessed by Esther, Michael, and Thomas
Thomas, Daniel and Jarman Walker, and others. Jacob Walker
inherited the Valley farm on the death of his father, and his
name frequently appears in the old records. In the " Book of
Sufferings" at Radnor, his name is down for £^^. This shows
the amount carried away by the Hessians on their famous raid
through the Valley after the battle of Rrandywine. The house
in which Jacob Walker lived at that time has a bullet hole in the
stairway. It is said a Hessian soldier fired the shot through a
window opposite, declaring that a rebel was in the house. The
old-fashioned mantelpiece also carries its marks of ancient daj's,
" 1776" being cut in the wood in several places. One can see
them through many coats of paint.

that on the 12th day of November, 1761, in the city of Philadel-
phia and Province of Pennsylvania, Jarman Walker and Jane
Malin, both of Chester County, were joined together in the holy

She was born 3d mo. 25th, 1734, and died " 12th ye 3d mo.,"
1792.

Thomas Thomas, born 3d mo. 12th, 1690, died 5th mo. 13th,
1754, was the eldest son of William and Elizabeth Thomas, who
settled at Newtown, Chester (now Delaware) County, Penna., in
1698. They were Quakers, but joined the Keithites, or as they
called themselves, "the Christian Quakers," at the time Keith
made the schism in the early church of Pennsylvania. In 1708
William Thomas joined the Seventh-day Baptists, and was dis-
owned by Friends. Thomas, his son, deeded, Jan. 30th, 17 17,
half an acre of land to Philip Rytherah, Henry Lew'is and
David Thomas, all of Newtown, to be used by the Seventh-day
Baptists for their burying-ground. This was afterwards pur-
chased by the Newtown Baptist Church for their grave-yard.
William Thomas was connected through his wife with Richard
Iddings, the grandfather of General Anthony Wayne. She is
supposed to have been a sister of Richard, and daughter of
Richard and Sarah Iddings, of Nantmeal ; Richard Iddings, Sr.,
died 1726. Richard Iddings, Jr., in his will, dated March i6th,

Thomas Thomas, the eldest son of William and Elizabeth,
married Sarah Jarman, born 2d mo. 14th, 1695, daughter of
John and Margaret Jarman. The name of Jarman, Jerman, or
German, comes from the old Flemish colonists, called Germans,
who were brought into Wales, 1107, by Henry I. John and
Margaret Jarman came from Llanidles, Montgomeryshire, Wales.
Some records say they came from Llangerigg, Radnorshire. The

John Jarman was an active member of the Society of Friends
at his home in Wales, and suffered both imprisonment and fines
f )r conscience' sake. Be^se, in his "Sufferings of the Quakers, "
says: "Anno 1677, on the i8th of the Month called July, two
priests in Montgomeryshire, Wales, gave information of a meet-
ing at the house of John Jarman in that borough-town (on the
Severn), upon which the Mayor with constables came thither and
arrested seven of tlie assembly and committed them to prison."
As a fine for allowing th.is meeting to be held at his house a cow
worth £2 I OS. was taken from him. Indeed, this one meeting
cost the worshipers assembled there, in fines, the round sum ol
£27 I OS.

John Jarman settled in Radnor, Delaware Count}-, Penna.,
on a farm of 100 acres purchased by him 4th mo. 4th, 1688

patent for 152 acres adjoining the above was executed to his
widow Margaret Jarman, Oct. 25th, 1703. Her son John agrees
to pay a Noble per acre for this land. To show how little atten-
tion was paid to the .spelling of proper names at that time, we
see in these papers, "The Minutes of ye Welsh Purchasers,"
that the clerks have spelled the name Jarman two different ways,
and botii are wrong. They have it German and Jermain.

Settling in Radnor at an early date in its history, John Jar-
man was instrumental in building up and establishing the
Friends' Meeting-house that is still occupied by the Society.
He gave the land on which it was built, and, although he may
not have lived long enough to preach in it, he did preach at the
religious meetings that were held in private houses in the settle-
ment. He was appointed constable in Radnor in 1689, but
refused to be qualified for the office until the sheriff apprehended
him for contempt of court. The date of his death is not
recorded, but he was buried at Radnor, 12th mo. 14th, 1697.
His wife Margaret died loth mo. 30th, 1740. Her will, dated
"23rd December, 1731," in which she leaves to her son John
Jarman her residence " with all lands and appurtenances there-
unto belonging." To her daughters Margaret, Priscilla, Eliza-
beth, and Sarah she leav^es 40s. each, and to her grandson,
Solomon Thomas, " one good yearling filly, or 50s." She also
leaves 20s. to repair Radnor Meeting grave-yard. A memorial
of Margaret Jarman was sent from Radnor Monthly Meeting to
Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting, 7th mo. i ith, 1758. The two
eldest children, Elizabeth and Sarah, who came with their parents
from Wales, died young. The other children, born in Pennsyl-
vania, were : John, born Nov. 1 2th, 1684, " the first male child born
of European parents in Radnor Township (Smith's " History of
Delaware County") ; Priscilla, born 1687 ; Margaret, born 7th
mo. 9th, 1689; Elizabeth, born 9th mo. i6th, 1690 ; and Sarah,

born 1 2th mo. (February) 14th, 1695, who married Thomas
Thomas. John Jarman, Jr., was a man of note in Radnor, as
well as one of the earliest mathematicians in the colonies. He
commenced publishing an Almanac in 1722, the title-page to the
first issue of which is as follows :

"AN EPHEMERIS FOR THE YEAR 1722,

"OR AN ALMANAC.

" 'Sun, Moon & Stars, the Heavens on high
Are seated all in Majesty,
Distilling of their Influence
On our Terrestrial Globe from Thence.'

" Philadelphia, Printed by Andrew Bradford in the Second Street."

Copies of these Almanacs are preserved in the Ridgway
Branch of the Philadelphia Library. This Almanac appeared
yearly for more than thirty years, except in 17 14, when he
visited England and Wales. In an obituary notice in the
" Pennsylvania Chronicle " he is spoken of as a " gentleman well
known for his astronomical calculations." He was also some-
thing of an astrologer, and in his later years was endow ed with
the gift of second sight. He married 2d mo. 8th, 1725, an Irish
woman, named Mary, by whom he had two children, — Priscilla,
born loth mo. 3d, 1730, died 7th mo. 6th, 1769, who married
Rees Thomas (see No. 112), and Lewis, born 9th mo. 21st,
1732, who died unmarried.

Sarah Jarman, who married Thomas Thomas, had si.x chil-
dren,— Jacob, who married Sarah Russell, 2d mo. 15th, 1747;
William (see page 79) ; Solomon, who is mentioned in his grand-
mother Jarman's will; Hezekiah ; Priscilla, who married Abijah
Stephens (see No. 207) ; and Sarah, who married Joseph Walker
when she was eighteen and he twenty-one years old.

Joseph and Sarah Walker went to live on the farm that

74 (lENEALOCY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

joiiiLHl his father's estate, wliieh kind was bequeathed to Isaac
Walker by his father, Lewis Walker. Here a house was built,
which, with some enlargement and improvement, still stands, the
home of his great-great-grandson, William H. Walker, A grist
mill was erected close by, where Joseph's younger brother,
Asahel, assisted him as miller. Joseph Walker was essentially
a man of affairs. His father dying when he was quite a young
man, he, as administrator to the estate, had the care of settling
up the property, as w^ell as looking after the young brothers' and
sisters' education and settlement in life. It will be remembered
that he acquired by purchase all the original tract of land left
by his father, besides other property, of w'hich more will be said
hereafter.

Sarah Walker, or " Grandmother Sarah," as she is always
called, was a worthy daughter of worthy sires, and is always
spoken of as a notable woman. The times in which she lived
called for extra courage from the wives and mothers. The Indian
massacres and border wars, that caused such trouble to the Sus-
quehanna settlers, did not reach Chester Valley except by rumor.
The early settlers about Philadelphia had always maintained the
friendliest relations with the Indians, and when, in 1764, they
were called upon by the authorities to give money or men to
help quell the disturbance about Lancaster, some of them
objected to assisting the cause in any way. The Quakers all
over the country were much exercised, arguing that they had
had no trouble with the savages, because they had treated them
humanely. There were riots in the streets of Philadelphia, occa-
sioned by the attitude of the Quakers, and dead bodies of the
massacred w^hites were conveyed along the Lancaster Pike, from
the scene of carnage to Philadelphia, that their wounds might
speak for them. But though the Indians left them at peace,
another foe, quite as deadly, entered the household of Joseph

THIRD GENERATION. 75

Walker, and carried off tliree sinall children. The smallpox
was epidemic in 1764 in the Valley.

The winter of 1777 and '78 also marked an epoch in this .sec-
tion of the country, and must have changed the whole tenor of
the lives of the inhabitants. Most of them were conscientiously
opposed to war, it being almost exclusively a Quaker commun-
ity. There is no doubt that many of them were Tories, but
Joseph Walker and his wife seem to have been in sympathy with
the American cause, if they were not declared rebels. General
Washington himself said that previous to wintering at Valley
Forge he had looked upon the Quakers as Tories and sympa-
thizers with the British Army, but that he had found them most
kind, and to be relied upon when he dwelt among them. They
would not be spies on either side, although some of them were
offered substantial benefits. Knowing this trait in the sect, spies
took advantage of it, and sometimes adopted their costume and
manner, thus bringing the Quaker name into disrepute.

The country hereabout was roughly visited by both parties.
When the British passed through it after the battle of Brandy-
wine, they tarried a few days, and were most unwelcome guests.
Howe, who was in command, halted his army between New Cen-
treville and Howellville, making his headquarters at the house of
Samuel Jones, a near neighbor to Joseph Walker. (This house
is now occupied by Mr. Frank Latch.) General Cornwallis
stopped fjirther up the Valley, at the house of the late " Widow "
Rees.

After the British had swept over the country, helping them-
selves as they went along to all they could use or carry away,
General Washington's troops came and encamped at Valley
Forge. The residence of Joseph Walker was not far from the
encampment, and General Anthony Wayne, being a kinsman to
his wife, took up his quarters with them. The Historical Society

"](> GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

of Pcnns}-lvania has recently caused a memorial stone to be
erected on the place, commemorative of Anthony Wayne's resi-
dence there during that troubled time in our country's history.
The house is much the same as it was then. There is a secret
closet in one of the bed-chambers, of which General Wayne
made use for hiding his papers. The two parlors were thrown
into one, and the great corner fire-places were pulled down a
few years ago when the house was repaired.

To protect the property from the ravages of the soldiers a
guard was granted to Joseph Walker, as witness the following
paper :

As I have foraged at Mr. Joseph Walker's and have taken as great a
quantity of forage from him as he can possibly spare without distressing
his Family which is large, and he has been plundered greatly by the
Enemy he Desires you will give him a protection.

Joseph Walker's son Lewis, who was eleven years old at
this time, remarks in old writings, which are still in the possession
of his family, that his " father's house was headquarters for
officers of the army then lying at Valley Forge," and that he
was thus brought into contact with the suffering soldiers of that
period. In speaking of his mother, whose memory he revered,
he would say, " Ah, that noble, that queenly woman ! How
well do I remember the day when five deserters were brought
back, and a court-martial was held in the house, at which General
Wayne presided. Some one told m\' mother that an example
was to be made of them, and that they were to be shot. She
had the General called out of the room and said to him : ' Cousin
Wayne, I hear five deserters have been taken and are sentenced

THIRD GENERATION. 77

to be shot. This must not be. Poor fellows, hungry, cold and
almost naked, if I was a soldier I would do so too.' The
General turned no deaf ear. The voice of pleading mercy was
heard, and they were pardoned." (From notes of Lewis
Walker's daughter, Marian Meares.)

To the soldiers standing guard about the place Sarah Walker
was uniformly kind and thoughtful ; she had corn mush made
for them daily, whicli her little son Lewis carried to them, along
with milk. Another chronicler of a wider reputation, Henry
Woodman, in his " History of Valley Forge," says : " One
thing the suffering soldiers particularly craved in the spring of
1778, was vegetable food, as they had long been confined to the
salted provisions of the camp. His (Joseph Walker's) meadows
abounded at the time with docks and other greens, but the guard
would not permit them (the soldiers) to enter. His bene\'olcnt
wife took upon herself the responsibility of permitting them to
enter the meadow and collect the greens to boil with their .'^alted
provisions. Neither the soldiers nor herself were ever molested
for the liberty they had taken."

The same writer tells us that " during the war Joseph Walker
endeavored as much as possible to take no part with either of
the contending powers, he being a man of pacific principles and
a member of the Society of Friends. This gave occasion for
many to condemn him as a Tory, but such was his steady and
consistent conduct that he escaped with less loss of property
than many others. He had a large field of rye and one of
wheat, and the whole of his mowing ground, that were not de-
stroyed, Wayne having placed a strong guard over them to pre-
vent the enclosures being taken away."

The Friends' Meeting-house at the Valley was used as a
hospital for the sick soldiers at Valley Forge, and I liave always

ncitjhborhood. The soldiers who died were buried in the grave-
yard close under the western walls of the house, a trench for
that purpose being kept constantly open.

General La Fayette, who was quartered at Samuel Havard's
house (now the home of Mr. Harry Wilson), was a frequent
vi.sitor at the home of Joseph Walker, and it is said that the
little Naomi, afterwards the wife of William Thomas, was a
special favorite of the gallant young Frenchman. She would sit
on his knee and amuse him with her prattle, and on one occasion
pinned a "posy" in his coat. The officers of the Continental
Army were quartered all about the neighborhood : General
Knox was with John Brown, who lived at the head of the Dam,
late the home of Mrs. Mary Jones ; the Count Du Portails lived
with John Havard, on the farm adjoining ; while the Baron de
Kalb was with Abijah Stephens, near the camp (see No. 267).
All of these houses are still standing, some occupied by the de-
scendants of the original owners.

Sarah, the wife of Joseph Walker, died 3d mo. 12th. 1792,
aged fifty-eight. She was buried in the Valley grave-yard two
days later, and it is recorded in the family Bible that over a
thousand people attended her funeral. Isaac Potts, of Valle}'
Forge, preached the funeral sermon. It was a fashion of the
time to write acrostics and obituary verses ; several of these
poetical effusions are in my possession which have Sarah Walker
for their theme. One written by a kinswoman, Sinah Hammer,
speaks of

" Her hospitable house, her open door,
Her arms e'er ready to receive the poor."

I have one letter, written, evidently, to her daughter Priscilla
after her marriage, which is undated and unaddressed, a copy of
which I insert here :

THIRD GENERATION. 79

The evening 9 day of i i month.

Dear child, I long to see you very much and have been looking for

you, my dear child. 1 think thy months is very long. I can't go to see

you for thy sister Naomi is offen poorly and a good deal low spirited. I

expect every day she will send for me. 1 was very glad that thee and thy

dear companion went to see them. 1 would been glad to be with you but

it seems as bad to leave home now as ever I think. Betty is gone away and

I have nobody but the little girls, but Molly Thomas is with us now, and

when I turn my back the girls is sassy enough to Polly so I must stay to

keep good order and then we gose on pretty well. We heard that thy

bosom friend is gone and left thee awhile, on a good errant, I hope, and I

think thou art happy to have such a blessed companion and 1 believe the

more he gives up to serve his good master the more favors and blessings you

will receive both spiritual and temporal. We received a letter from thy

Uncle William * they were all well and gave good accounts and a kind

invitation for us all to sell here and go there where we may live esey, no

fines to pay. Now I must conclude with my kind love for your welfare

every way. Near one at night, thy father gone toward Philadelphia, from

thy tender mother

Sarah Walker.
Just agoing to bed.

For the good reputation of the family it is but proper to add
here that "the girls " who were " sassy" were not the daughters of
the house, — they were all married ; they might have been young
serving maids, it being customary at that time for housekeepers
to have young girls apprenticed to learn house work.

Two years after Sarah Walker's death, her husband married
again. His second wife was Jane Rankin, widow of William

* William Thomas, her brother, went to Georgia to live, but disapproving of
slavery, left the south and removed to Ohio with his daughter Rebecca and his son
"Cam," and settled there, in Muskingum County In 1805 he came on a visit to
Pennsylvania to see his sister's family. His daughter accompanied him ; he was then
eighty years old and the whole journey was made on horseback. He wrote verses of
fair quality and recorded certain events in the lives of himself and family. It has been
my privilege to hear some of these recited by his great-niece and my great-aunt Mary
W. Roberts. (See No. 252.)

Rankin, wlio, it is said, was a British officer. She was a resident
at the time of London Grove Township. They were married at
New Garden Meeting, and the wedding certificate is signed by John,
VVilHam, John, Jr., Kitty, Ann, Mary and Rebecca Rankin, her
chikh-en, all or nearly all of whom came to live with their mother
at her new home in the Valley. Maiy and Kitty Rankin married
in the Walker family, as will be seen later. Jane (Rankin) Walker
died suddenly, March 9th, 1813, of a paralytic stroke while
returning from a visit " in the gig " to her step-son, Isaac Walker,
who lived at " Rehobeth."

old when his mother married her second husband, Jacob Thomas.
He learned the trade of cooper, and in 1764, when he releases
to his brother Joseph all his rights to his father's estate, he calls
himself " Benjamin Walker, of Willistown." (See Appendix B.)

He married, 4th mo. 13th, 1769, Ruth (died 8th mo. 5th,
1 8 17), daughter of John and Ann (Jones) Morris (see page 86),
at Newtown Meeting-house, at the sam-e time that his sister
Rachel married Lewis Morris, a brother of Ruth. In 6th mo.
4th, 1772, Benjamin Walker, with " his wife Ruth and child
Sarah," moved their certificate from Uwchlan to Warrington
Monthly Meeting, York County, Penna. Here he purchased a
large tract of land (about 1,000 acres) in the vicinity of the
Warrington Friends' Meeting. A stone and log house was on
the property at the time of the purchase, and here the family
lived until 1790, when he erected near it a large stone mansion.
This house stood until 1886, when it was torn down by Joshua

The old stone house that was built in 1790 has, at various times,

Benjamin Walker, writes : " My father was about seven years

releases all his rights to his father's estate to his brother Joseph,
for ^100. (See appendix B.) In this paper he calls himself
"Asahel Walker, of Tredyffrin, in the County of Chester,
Province of Pennsylvania, millwright." On 4th mo. 9th, 1771,
he, along with his wife and son James, removes his certificate of
membership from Merion Monthly Meeting to Warrington, York
County, Penna. The next move is on ist mo. iith, 1788,
when " Ashahel Walker, wife and children, Ann, Isaac, Mary,
Sarah and Asahel, remove their certificate to Sadsbury." (Rad-
nor Records.)

Mr. Harris, in his " Biographical History of Lancaster
County," gives a short account of Asahel Walker, which I insert.

Asahel Walker of Sadsbury Township, was born at the Valley Forge,
in the year 1746. He was the son of Isaac and the grandson of Lewis
Walker, who emigrated from the Principality of Wales about the year 1 700,
and purchased a large tract of land from William Penn at the Valley
Forge, where, it is said, William Penn visited him the following year. He
erected a commodious stone edifice thereon, at which a meeting of the
Society of Friends was established in the year 17 13. . . . Although it has

84 GENEALOGY OK THE WALKER FAMILY.

underLjone repairs, it is standint^ as a part of the family mansion at the
present time (1872). The land is now divided into about ten farms, and is
still held by his descendants. His grandson, Asahel Walker, was united
in marriage with Ann, the daughter of the well-known James Moore, of
Sadsbury, in the year 1769. tie afterwards purchased a tract of land in
Sadsbury, which had belonged to his father-in-law, and which had been
taken up by William Penn in the year 1700, while on his visit at the Gap.
and which he had surveyed off for his own use.

At the age of sixty-six years he divided this land between his sons
Isaac and Asahel, which is now owned and occupied by his grandsons
Isaac and Asahel C. Walker. After thus adjusting his temporal matters,
he retired from the cares of the world, and spent the remainder of his life
(over a quarter of a century) in promoting the cause of his Divine Master,
and became a worthy minister of the Gospel Truths in the Society of
Friends. During no period of his life did he seek public distinction, yet
he had charge of various important public and private trusts for members
of diflerent religious persuasions. During his whole life he was truly a
worthy and faithful member of society, so that he may be classed with the
good, and remembered with the just. He departed his well-spent life in
the year 1838, in the 93d year of his age.

His descendants are still numerous and respectable ; besides the
Walkers, are included some of the Moores, Pownalls, Coopers, Linvilles,
Ellmakers, Dillers, Worsts, and Hersheys, Mrs. Percy Barnard, Mrs. Mary
L. Roberts, of Texas, the Sprouls, Houstons, and some of that^ excellent
and highly respectable family of the Trouts of the Township of Bart.

Asahel and Ann (Moore) Walker had eleven children :

20th, 1748, married 4th mo. 13th, 1769, at Newtown Meeting,
-Lewis Morris, of Eastown, Chester County, Penna. Lewis
Morris was grandson of John Morris, who came to Pennsylvania in
the year, 1708, with his wife, Jean, and son, John. They came
in the ship with Ellis Pugh, who was returning from a visit to
Great Britain (see No. 106), who mentions in his diary that they
were his fellow passengers, and adds that he " taught their son
John his A, B, C's on shipboard."

John Morris came from Merioneth, Wales, and probably from
Dolgelly, though this cannot be proven. That they knew Ellis
Pugh, of Dolgelly, makes this seem possible. And if it could
be ascertained that John Morris came from there, there is a chance
of his descendants inheriting some millions of pounds now lying
ill the Bank of England awaiting a claimant. Some few years
ago an effort was made to claim it, and it is from a pamphlet pre-
pared at that time, called " The Morris Family," loaned me by one
of the descendants, Anna B. Walker, of Emerson, Ohio, that I
have collected the following data regarding the family, which I
insert.

The estate in Wales was a valuable mining property, besides
which there was a large sum of money that went with it. The
Morris family in Pennsylvania knew their ancestor had left
brothers in Wales, who were unmarried and in good circum-
stances, and who had visited them in America. There was also
a rumor of an inheritance, but for some reason no attention was

86 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

paid to it. Early in this century an advertisement began to ap-
pear for certain heirs of the Morris family, in the newspapers of
Pennsylvania, which attracted the attention of some members of
the family, and an effort was made to investigate it, and, if they
were the heirs, to lay claim to it. Bfit nothing could be done,
because there was no proof that John Morris was from Dolgelly,
Wales.

John Morris, the emigrant, bought a large tract of land in
Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Penna., and settled there-
of five children born to them, but three married : John, born 1705,

died 1786, married Ann Jones, 1738; Margaret, married

Phillips ; and Jean, married Rowland. The family lived

forty years in Bucks County, and when John Morris died in 1748,
he left his property to his grandson, Lewis Morris, w hen he should
attain the age of twenty-one. In the year 1761, John Morris,
2d, turned the property over to his son, Lewis, according to the
terms of the Will. In 1764, Lewis Morris, then about twenty-
four, with his father, left Bucks County and came to Eastown,
Chester County, to live, where they bought land, some of which
is still in the possession of the family.

John and Ann (Jones) Morris had ten children, four of whom
mariied : Ruth, married Benjamin Walker (see No. 51) ; Lewis,
born 1739, died 1823, married Rachel Walker; Morris, born
1 741, married Ruth Buffington ; and Anthony, born 1747,
married Elizabeth Evanson.

Lewis and Rachel Morris lived on their farm in Eastown
Township, and here Rachel's mother died, in 1802. Rachel and
her husband both sign their names to the release given to Joseph
Walker, Feb. 5th, 1770, when they gave up, for the sum of ^100,
all their rights to the estate of Isaac Walker, deceased. (See

grandfather Richards lived, there is not a trace of the old Society
of Friends left. The httle meeting-house is gone, and in its
stead is a very small Episcopal Church. Even that has had its
day, and is no longer used. The little burying-ground is all
overgrown with a copse of young forest trees. There is nothing
to show there ever was a burial place. The whole country side
is now made up of thrifty but illiterate Irish Catholics."

died at Mt. Pleasant, Jefferson County, Ohio, Sept. 8th, 185 1.
He married Ann, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Pugh) Walker
(No. 248), April 14th, 1802. They lived for some years at the
Richards homestead, on the Schuylkill River, and here all their
children were born. They decided, for some reason, to sell the
Pennsylvania home, and move west. Accordingly, on Nov. 2d,
1 8 24, they started, driving up through southern New York, passing
through Buffalo, until they came to Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, which
place they reached on the i8th of December, where they ended
their long journey. They had traveled by wagon 635 miles in
forty-si.x days. The eldest son, Isaac, fortunately, kept a jour-
nal, by which we are enabled to follow them in their travels.
(See Appendix C.) I have heard my great-aunt, Sarah Robin-
son, tell how the family at " Rehobeth " went to the top of the
Meeting-house hill to see the great wagons winding their way
out into the distance, and that they could scarcely see them for
their tears. Ann Richards was born at " Rehobeth," and was a
much loved sister of Joseph Walker, who then owned it.

Samuel and Ann (Walker) Richards prospered in their new
home, and both died there. Ann died in the year 1849. ^ think
they never revisited their old home, but some of the family, of
whom Joseph Walker was one, paid them a visit a few years
after their emigration, driving both there and back again.

There is a letter from Ann Richards, dated 1833, in which
she expresses herself as very happy in Ohio. She says the
farmers there " live well, dress well, and are getting rich." They
have good society, their neighbors are well-informed people, and

they feel very much at home, though she says they look back
with affection to Chester Valley. The cholera was raging
around them when she wrote, but they had escaped. She speaks
of their neighbor, Thomas Robinson and his family (see No. 249).
Another neighbor, James Rankin, who married Caleb Dilworth's
daughter, had a woolen factory near them, while John Rankin's
son Stephen had gone to Canada to sell the estate there. (See
No. 46, under Jane Rankin.)

Isaac Walker took his wife to the old homestead, " Rehobeth,"
where they resided the remainder of their lives, and raised a
large family of children. When the Hessians came through
this section of the country, they paid a visit to them, and drank
up all the milk that was set to cool in the spring-house. It is
said that the thirsty soldiers took up the full milk pans and drank
it all down ; then without pausing to wipe the cream from their
long beards, continued their search for something to eat or carry
away.

Isaac Walker was a prosperous farmer and made many im-
provements on the old place. A new barn was built in his time
and an addition was put to the west end of the house. The
initials "mw" mark the gable end of the new part, which con-
sisted of a wide hall running through the house, and two large
rooms on the first and second floors, opening into it. A long
piazza in the front of the house, facing the south, made quite a
respectable mansion out of the old home. W^hat is now the
large parlor, was then two rooms, with big fireplaces and carved
mantlepieces, which have recently been removed for more modern
ones. One of these mantlepieces contained a small secret closet
that only the sharp eye of the initiated could detect. Fortunately,
it was never needed to hide anything but the pipes and tobacco

of our great-grandfather, though it was put there for convenience
in case of war, the silver spoons and papers not always coming
out of the ash hopper or well, where they were sometimes
hurriedly thrown on the approach of the enemy, in as good con-
dition as when they went in.

Isaac Walker also dug the well that has supplied drinking
water for the household for so many years. Before it was made
the water was carried from the spring at the foot of the hill. It
is said that they dug for days without finding water, and were on
the point of giving it up when they struck the solid rock and a
stream gushed forth that has flowed continuously ever since, even
in the times of greatest drought.

Isaac Walker, by indorsing notes for his brother Enoch, be-
came involved in his failure early in the present century, which
caused his father, Joseph Walker to leave the farm," Rehobeth," to
Isaac's eldest son, Joseph. Isaac was, however, to live on the
farm the rest of his life. His wife, Mary Walker, accidentally
gave their daughter, Zillah, the wrong medicine, which caused the
child's death. The mother never recovered from this shock, but
suffered from melancholia for several years, until her death. Her
husband wrote a letter to his children a short time after her
death, which is, I think, worthy of being inserted in these pages.

Valley, 7-24, 1813.
Dear Children :

I have took up my pen to put on record your dear mother's worth-
She was a woman beloved by her Maker and by all mankind generally.
As for me, I have met with a stroke occasioned by her removal from me,
which I am not able to withstand. But still I have hopes, tho' small, and
confidence if I keep to the faith, to rest with her and the just and upright
in the Kingdom of Heaven where the righteous are at peace. She was one
that was counted worthy to be afflicted in body and mind for the obtaining
of her soul's salvation, which is my belief she has gained, she being a
mild and discreet woman. From the first of my acquaintance with her,

I04

that was about the year 1764, then I was a lad, and from the acquaintance
I had with her I thought there was something in her modesty and behavior
that fixed my affection on her. As we grew in years we were the more re-
spectful of each other until we were married, which was in the year of our
Lord, 1775. From that day until the day of her death she was a loving
wife unto me, a tender and affectionate mother, a good neighbor, and a
follower of Jesus Christ, her Redeemer.

Dear children, about fifteen years ago, she was brought very low, with
a severe fit of sickness that the doctor called an inflammation on the liver.
Then you were young, and I put up my supplication unto the true and liv-
ing God Almighty according to my weak ability, that if the Lord would be
pleased to raise her until the children grew up, if she should then be taken
from me I could then give her up unto the Lord for allowing my petition.
But poor weak man, I am scarcely able to bear the trial ; but when I take
a view of our children which the Lord has favored us with, whose orderly
conduct gives me great satisfaction, I hope it may be for my good, and for
the good of you all, my dear children, I conclude with my prayer for
you all as one child, that you should choose the Lord for your portion and
the God of Jacob for the Lot of your Inheritance. This is what I request
of you all. Then you will be members of the Church MiUtant, and like-
wise of the Church Triumphant.

These are your father's prayers and love to you all, my dear children.

Isaac Walker.

A few years after the death of his wife, Isaac Walker married
Sarah, widow of Paul Conard, and daughter of Joseph and
Sarah (Shoemaker) Roberts, of Montgomery County, Penna.
Sarah, the second wife, was born 8th mo. 27th, 1771. She had
a son, Isaac Walker, who was born when hjs father was sixty-four
years old, who studied medicine and was graduated at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. Dr. Walker practised medicine in Chester
Valley, and was widely esteemed. He married, but left no de-
scendants.

Henry Woodman, in an article written at the time of Isaac
Walker's death, says of him : " He was unambitious of the
honors of the world, but of those virtues which adorn private life

FOURTH GENERATION. 105

he was excelled by none. Generous, benevolent and humane, his
pride was in doing good. He performed his social duties with-
out parade, and his religious obligations without ostentation."

He was a large, powerful man, of great muscular strength. It
is told of him that on one occasion a robber entered the house of
a neighbor (Wm. Cleaver, his niece's husband), and prowling
around the kitchen with felonious intent, stepped upon a trap
door, and was precipitated into the cellar below, out of which
there was no egress, the ladder being drawn up at night. The
thief, in his efforts to escape, made so much noise as to arouse the
family. The neighbors were sent for, and the first to arrive was
Isaac Walker. He looked down into the dark pit and seeing the
man told him to hold up his hands and he would pull him out,
which he did with so much force as to not only pull the man up,
but to throw him on the floor, where he held him until he was
bound, ready to be carried to prison the next day.

While Isaac and Mary Walker occupied the old homestead,
a dreadful murder was committed in a house across the meadows
on the site of some of the buildings belonging to the late Thomas
U. Walker. Nearly all of the occupants of the house were
murdered by a pedlar and his accomplices, who hoped to find
gold hidden in the house. One of the victims managed to crawl
across the fields to Isaac Walker's, with his throat cut from ear
to ear. He aroused the family, who took him in, and he died on
the kitchen floor shortly afterward. A long ballad on this
gloomy subject was at one time extant, I have heard fragments
of it, but have never seen the verses.

Isaac and Mary (Pugh) Walker had ten children :

Priscilla Yarnall seems to have had some of the poetic fire of

by her on the death of her mother.

Acrostic on the death of Sarah Walker, deceased the 12th day of
3d mo., 1792. Composed by her daughter, Priscilla Yarnall :

" Sweet husband and dear children, oh, do not wish my stay ;
Archangels wait my coming, Messiah trod the way.
Remember all my counsel, how sorely I've been try'd,
Ah, He who's all compassion that truth has verified.
Handing forth his cup of Life, my soul has satisfied.
Wrestling, Jacob like, his Blessing long I've sought.
And that my tender offspring to his Banquet might be brought ;
Leaving the things that are behind, in faithfulness pursue,
Keeping his blessed precepts, all which are just and true.
Even as my comfort now doth flow, so will my love with you remain.
Resigning all unto the Lord, and hope to have you yet again."

1757, died 3d mo. 17th, 1839. He married 4th mo. 2d, 1789,
Margaret, daughter of Richard and Hannah (Potts) Currie.
Margaret Currie was born March 13th, 1772, died May 5th,
1858.

Richard Currie was the son of Rev. WilHam Currie, first
pastor of old St. David's Church, Radnor, who was born at
Glasgow, Scotland, in the year 1710, and was educated at the
university there. He came to America as a tutor to the son of
Mr. Carter, of Virginia, on the recommendation of the faculty of
the College. After holding this position for several years, he
went to New Castle, Delaware, where he became acquainted
with the Rev. George Ross, Rector of the Immanuel (Episcopal)
Church. Under his instruction, Mr. Currie examined the
doctrines of the Church, and by him was recommended to the
Royal Society of England, where he proceeded for ordination.
Returning to America about the year 1737, he became lay-
reader of Perkiomen Church, as well as of St. David's, Radnor,"*'
and St. Paul's, Chester County, Penna. In 1752, he became
the first regular Rector of these churches. He married, ist,
Margaret Ross, born 17 14, died 1771, the daughter of the Rev.
George Ross, of New Castle, Delaware.

The following is taken from " Some Account of the Mission
in Pennnylvania," delivered at a convention of the clergy of that
Province, in Philadelphia, May 2d, 1760:

"Mr. Currie, the Society's Missionary here (Radnor), labours under
great indisposition of body, and could not attend the convention. He is
much esteemed in his mission, which is a very extensive one, and neglects
no opportunity that his health will permit of doing his duty."

In 1760, he writes from Radnor asking that a habitation be
provided for him, saying that he had been in the Society's

service for twenty-three years. Tlie Society was called " The
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts."

From Dr. Perry's " Historical Collections of American
Colonization Churches." Mr. Currie to the Secretary of "The
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts" :

Radnor, March 31st, 1760.
Rev. Sir : I must beg leave to acquaint the Secretary that although
my hearers are many in number, especially at Radnor and Great Valley,
yet they are become so very careless and lukewarm that I can not get them
to meet on Easter Monday to choose a Vestry, &c.

I am. Rev. Sir,

William Currie,

At the commencement of the Revolutionary War, Mr.
Currie, feeling that he could not violate his ordination vows by
omitting the prayer for the King, and his congregation insisting
that it should be left out of the service, resigned his pastorate
May 1 8th, 1776. (See Appendix D.)

After the Ratification Treaty between England and United
States, the clergy being thus absolved from their oath of office,
Mr. Currie again officiated in St. David's Church, performing the
marriage services and administering the ordinances of baptism.
In 1783, he was again installed as pastor. The last years of his
life were passed on his farm in Tredyffrin, with the family of his
granddaughter, Margaret (Currie) Walker. His second wife was
Lucy Ann, widow of David Jones, and daughter of Thomas
Godfrey, of Tredyffrin. She died in Tredyffrin, February 14th,
1778, aged fifty-four. The Rev. William Currie died October
26th, 1803, aged ninety-three.

His will is recorded at West Chester, Penna., Book K, page
436. He mentions his granddaughters Margaret Hoffa and
Sarah Shuben, sons John and William, his grandchildren, the
children of his son Ross Currie in New Brunswick, his grand-

daughter Margaret, the wife of Thomas Walker, his grand-
daughter Ann, the wife of William Broadess, and he leaves ten
English pounds to St. David's Church, Radnor. His estate was
valued at ^^"3116 4s. gd. His books were valued at ;^i8 los.
He was buried at St. David's, Radnor, along with his two wives.

The Rev. George Ross, the father of Margaret, the Rev.
William Currie's first wife, born 1673, died 1754, was graduated
at the University of Edinburgh in the year 1700, taking the
degrees of M.A. In 1705 he came to America as a missionary,
from Ross-shire, town of Tain, parish of Fern, Scotland. He
was one of the first missionaries sent by the Church of England
to the British North American Colonies, for the propagation of
the Gospel. He married his cousin, Joanna Williams, of Rhode
Island, and settled in New Castle, Delaware. After three years
he moved to Chester, Pa. In 171 1, while on his way to England
on a visit, the ship on which he was a passenger was captured by
the French, and he suffered much hard treatment at their hands.
After his release from captivity, he returned to America and to
New Castle. In 1717, he accompanied Governor Kieth on a
tour through the counties of Kent and Sussex. He had charge
of the Immanuel Church at New Castle from 1705 to 1708, and
again from 17 14 to 1755, in which last year he died, aged
seventy-three. He was buried beside the church ; a marble
tablet, bearing a Latin inscription, is on the exterior wall of the
old church, in commemoration of him. One of his sons was a
Signer, but all his children seem to have occupied prominent
positions in our early history.

His son, John Ross, born 171 1, died 1766, was appointed by
George III. Attorney General for the three counties in Delaware,
from 1754 to 1763.

Another son, Eneas Ross, born 17 16, died 1782, was or-
dained in Whitehall Royal Chapel, London, 1 740. He succeeded

his father as Rector of Immanuel Church, where he continued in
charge until his death.

A third son, George Ross, born 1730, died 1779, studied law
under his brother John, moved to Lancaster, Penna., 175 i, elected
to the Continental Congress, 1774, where he continued to sit
until 1777. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence. In 1779 he was appointed Judge of the Court of
Admiralty for the State of Pennsylvania, and died July, 1779.

A daughter, Mary Ross, married the Rev. Wm. Thompson,
of St. Stephen's Church, Cecil County, Md. Catherine Ross, a
second daughter, married Wm. Thomson, an Irishman, who was
appointed captain of a troop of Light Horse, of the ist Bat.
Pennsylvania Regiment, May 31st, 1758. At the siege of
Boston in 1775, he had command of the first rifle regiment raised
in Pennsylvania, and was the second Colonel appointed in the
Continental Army. During the Revolutionary War he became
a general officer, and at its close settled in Cumberland County,
Penna., where he died 1781, leaving several children.

Gertrude, another daughter of the Rev. Mr. Ross, married
in 1763, George Reed, who succeeded John Ross, his brother-in-
law, in 1763, as Attorney General for the three counties of
Delaware. In 1774, he was elected to Congress from Delaware,
and was one of the signers to the Declaration of Independence.
He was also one of the five signers who framed the Constitution
of the United States. In 1779 he resigned his seat in Congress.
In 1793, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Delaware, which office he held until his death in 1798.

Margaret Ross, who married the Rev. Wm. Currie, before
mentioned, had seven children : John Currie, a lawyer, of Beth-
lehem, Pa. ; James Currie, a physician, practicing in Chester
County, Pa. ; William Currie, a physician, commissioned Surgeon
in Coloniel Atlee's Musketry Battallion, April 6th, 1776, but

to Philadelphia in 1792, where he died, 1829; Richard Currie,
born 1750, died Sept. i6th, 1776, married Hannah Potts, born
1755, died Feb. 23d, 1778. He joined the ist Militia of Penn-
sylvania, at the commencement of the Revolutionary War, and
marched with his company as far as Amboy, New Jersey, but
was obliged, on account of sickness, to return home, where he
died. He left a widow and three little children to the care of his
father. His wife did not long survive him, and both are buried
in St. David's Churchyard. His children were : Margaret,
born March 13th, 1772, who married Thomas Walker; Ann,
born Sept. ist, 1773, married William Broadess ; and Richard,
born July 23d, 1776 ; Alexander Currie, a physician, went to the
West Indies, married and died there ; Ross Currie, of St. Ann's
Parish, New Brunswick, was commissioned 2d Lieutenant, Jan.
5th, 1776, in Capt. John Huling's Company, promoted Nov.
nth, 1776, to Reese's Company, captured June 8th, 1776, at
Three Rivers, and was drowned in the St. John's River, Sept.
1st, 1790, when he was thirty-six years old, leaving a widow and
two children ; Elizabeth Currie, married Dr. Demon, of Reading,
Pa. (The particulars of the Currie and Ross families were
furnished by Mrs. Winfield Wilson, of Chester Valley, and Mr.
Charles Howard Colket, of Philadelphia, Pa.)

We see by the foregoing pages that Margaret, the wife of
Thomas Walker, came from a family prominent in Church and
State, quite different from the quiet Quakers with whom we
have heretofore been occupied. But, though Thomas Walker
was " dealt with " and dismissed from Meeting for marrying a
church- woman, he continued a Friend, used the " plain lan-
guage," went to meeting, and both he and his wife were buried
in the Valley graveyard, along with his ancestors. Margaret,
his wife, although inheriting fighting blood, was herself a most

peaceful woman, as were also her numerous children. With the
single exception of their first child, all the children grew up,
married, and lived to be grand-parents. They were remarkable
for the family affection that existed among them to the very last.
She lived to be a very old woman, and was of exceptional vigor.
They lived on the farm formerly owned by the Rev. William
Currie, her grand - father, which farm was bought by Joseph

eldest son of Rees and Priscilla (Jarman) Thomas, her second
cousin. Rees Thomas was a grand-son of Rees Thomas, who
came to Pennsylvania, 1 791—2, and settled in Merion on a large
tract of land. The villages of Brjm Mawr and Rosemont
occupy portions of the original farm belonging to him. This
land was a part of the Welsh tract, and was bought by Rees
Thomas, 300 acres from Sarah Eckley, v/idow of John Eckley,
and the adjoining tract from Edward Prichard. Soon after his
arrival in the Province, he married Martha Aubrcv, to whom he
had plighted his troth before leaving Wales. They were married
4th mo. (June) i8th, 1692, at Haverford Meeting. (For an in-
teresting account of the Aubrey family, as well as for some in-
cidents in the life of Rees and Martha Thomas, see Appendix E.)

Rees and Martha Thomas were people of prominence in the
new settlement at Radnor ; the former was a member of the
Provincial Assembly in 1705, and his wife was a preacher in the
Society of Friends. In a religious periodical, called The Friend,
Vol. XXIX., p. 148, Martha Thomas is mentioned as a "worthy
elder, zealous for good order in the church, and exemplary in
her family." "She was buried the 9th of the 12th month,
1726, at Friends' burying ground at Radnor." Rees Thomas,
in his will, Sept. loth, 1742, left to William, his son, 200 acres
out of the north end of the Eckley tract, and to his eldest son,
Rees, his dwelling-house and plantation of 290 acres.

Rees and Martha (Aubrey) Thomas had six children, —

Rees, born 1693, married Jones; Aubrey, born nth mo.

30th, 1694, went to England, where he married Gulielma Penn,

William, the eldest son of the above, took his wife, Naomi
Walker, to the Thomas homestead to live, where they resided
the remainder of their lives. Their eldest child, Mary (Thomas)

Il6 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

Wynne Wood, 3rd Mo. loth, 1829.

My mind being engaged for some time to preserve a record of my
family smce their arrival to and settlement in this country, for the perusal
and information of my dear children and relatives that may feel an interest
in rehearsals of this kind, and having received the account hereinafter re-
lated (concerning my dear parents and ancestors) from undoubted author-
ity, I have thought proper to transmit it in writing.

My great-great-grandfather, Rees Thomas, the elder, married Martha,
the daughter of William Aubrey. They removed from Wales, in Great
Britain, aboutthe year 1695, and settled on a tract of land of about thirteen
hundred acres, which my said ancestor had purchased in what was called
Upper Merion Township, Philadelphia County, and Province of Pennsyl-
vania, ten miles west from Philadelphia. (Their grandson, William
Thomas, my father, remains to be possessed of about one quarter of said
original tract, whereon he now resides, and my youngest brother, William
P. Thomas, now occupies the same stone house they erected for a dwell-
ing-)

Their children were William, Rees, Aubrey, Herbert, Richard, and

Elizabeth. They were members of the religious Society of Friends.

Robert Proud, in his history of Pennsylvania, mentions the before
named Rees Thomas as being a member of the Provincial Assembly,
appointed at a particularly trying time in 1705, when they had the good
success to settle the disputes that had existed between the Deputy Governor
and two last Assemblies, "and in consequence of which a great number of
laws were passed and the public affairs for a time bore a more favorable
aspect." He is also mentioned in a public capacity in 1725. I have no
record of the time of their death.

William Aubrey, the brother of my aforesaid great-great-grandmother,
Martha Thomas, married Letitia, the daughter of William Penn, the
founder of Pennsylvania. I have been informed that they had no chil-
dren, in an account preserved of the family record in the possession of the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

William Thomas, the oldest son of Rees and Martha Thomas, married
Elizabeth, daughter of David Harry, of Chester County, (whose name is
recorded in Proud' s History of Pennsylvania, as being many times a mem-
ber of the Provincial Assembly.) My aforesaid great-grand-parents,
William and Elizabeth Thomas, had children whose names were Rees,
Martha, Mary, Hannah, Elizabeth, Jonathan, David, and Richard.

FOURTH GENERATION. II7

I have always heard that William was a very mild tempered man,
very constant in his attendance of Reli<;ious meetinj,'s, but that he was too
indulgent with regard to the management of his children, and thereby let
them go into improper company, to the manifest neglect of business and
proper improvement of their minds, which afterwards proved very much to
the disadvantage of some of them and a great source of sorrow to himself
and friends.

He built a very good, substantial stone house, finished in a superior
style for that day, on a beautiful situation, and improved a considerable
part of his parental estate. The house and part of his farm are now in
the possession of George Curwen.

Rees, the second son [On consulting the letter of Rees Thomas, the
elder, in Appendix E, it will be seen that Rees was the eldest son. The
letter had not been discovered when Mary Jones wrote her notes. — P.W. S.]
of Rees and Martha Thomas, married a daughter of Dr. Edward Jones,
who was also the ancestor of my late husband, Jonathan Jones. They had
children, but only two daughters lived to be married, — Letitia, the wife of
David Evans, and Nancy, the wife of Samuel Williams. They were re-
spectable and useful citizens of Philadelphia.

Aubrey, the son of Rees and Martha Thomas, went to England and
there married Gulielma Marie, the daughter of W^m. Penn, the oldest living
son of the before mentioned Wm. Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania.
They had one son whom they named Wm. Penn Thomas. Our uncle,
Aubrey Thomas, lived but a short time after his marriage. I have been
informed that his widow, in an affectionate letter which she wrote to some
of her husband's relations, mentioned her said little son as an interesting
child.*

Herbert, the son of Rees and Martha Thomas, married a daughter of
John Havard, of Tredyffrin Township, Chester County. (See No. 250.)
They had one son, who died in his minority. Our uncle, Herbert Thomas,
was much loved by his family for his amiable disposition and kindness of
heart. I have heard him spoken of frequently, with much affectionate
feeling.

Richard, the son of Rees and Martha Thomas, died when a young
man. He was not married.

Elizabeth, the daughter of Rees and Martha Thomas, married, I have
been informed, Samuel Harry, of Chester County, a brother to my great-

of Pennsylvania.

grand-mother. The only descendants of this marriage with whom I am
acquainted are Hannah, the wife of Dr. Thomas C. James, of Philadelphia,
and their children.

Kees, the son of William and Elizabeth Thomas, married Priscilla,
the only daughter and final heir of John and Mary Jermon (Jarman), who
was a learned and respectable inhabitant of Chester County. He (John
Jarman) lived near Friends' Meeting-house in Radnor Township, where he
possessed a very valuable estate. My grand-parents, Rees and Priscilla
Thomas had children, whose names were — Mary, William, John, Hannah,
Reese, Jonathan, and Priscilla.

My said grand-parents, I have always heard, were industrious, worthy
people. They built the mansion house on the farm now belonging to my
dear father, and in which he dwells, as also other substantial buildings, and
improved the parental estate to advantage. My grand-father died in the
45th year of his age, a few years after he had buried my grand-mother.
Their children being all in their minority, when by the Allwise dispensation
of Divine Providence they were left orphans at the commencement of the
Revolutionary War, a time trying in one way or another to all the inhabi-
tants of this countr)', but more particularly to orphans.

They suffered much in not obtaining the advantages of education, to
which they were entitled, as also in their estate. Nevertheless, their
Heavenly Father, in the abundance of his gracious mercies, preserved them
from many of the evils of that day. May we remember his goodness with
gratitude and thanksgiving always, for he still continues to make good his
blessed promises of the father of the fatherless and friend of the widow
unto this day. May we all be enabled through the redeeming love and
power of our blessed Saviour to serve and trust in him who is our only
sure support and protector in time of trial and need, and I believe will ever
remain to be a sure support to all those that love and keep his command-
ments.

My great-aunt, Martha Thomas, married John Llewelen, a surgeon
of consequence and respectability, of Merion Township. They had child-
ren, two of whose names are all that I am acquainted with, Morris and
Eliza.

Mary, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Thomas, married Peter
Evans, but had no children. She lived to an advanced age, and was, I
believe, much respected, being a sensible, conversable woman, of good
ideas and retentive memorv.

FOURTH GENERATION. II9

Hannah, the daughter of WilHam and EHzabeth Thomas, married
Jonathan Powell. She had no children, I have always heard she was an
innocent, inoffensive woman, that had many serious trials to pass through.

Elizabeth, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Thomas, married
Abraham Evans, of (iwynedd Township. They had several children,
those that I rememl^er were William, Elisha, Edith.

Jonathan, the son of William and Elizabeth Thomas, married twice.
I do not recollect the name of his first wife, but remembered to have heard
her spoken of as a valuable woman. They had children — Rces, Rebecca,
Elizabeth and Richard. His second wife was Ann, the daughter of .Samuel
Haley. They had children — William, Samuel and Ononah. My said
great-uncle lived to an advanced age. I was always interested in his com-
pany, having visited him several times. Many of his remarks I have
frequently reflected on since his death, having considered them fraught
with good sense and Christian feeling. He resided for many years and
died on his farm in Chester County.

David, the son of William and Elizabeth Thomas, married

Rhodes. They had children — Martha, Lydia, Aubrey, William, Eleanor.
My said great-uncle or aunt neither lived to an advanced age. I remember
to have seen him when a child. He died on his farm in Merion.

Richard, son of William and Elizabeth Thomas, married Ann

I have heard that he was of uncommon comely appearance, but unfortun-
ately not attentive enough to Divine principles of light and truth, which is
given to every man that cometh into the world to profit withal. He was
led by unprofitable companions into improper habits that destroyed his
peace of mind, wasted his estates (having been left a double share by his
uncle Richard) with gamblers, after which his bodily strength being
impaired, he was taken ill, during which indisposition he experienced many
seasons of remorse and contrition for his many deviations from the course
of life that would have blessed him with comfortable reflections on a bed of
sickness or death, and might have left his widow and daughters in the
possession of a comfortable independence, all of which preyed on his mind
during the latter part of his life. I have been led many times to contem-
plate his last trials with an ardent desire that his contrition of heart may
have been accepted by our Heavenly Father, in mercy, through his dear
Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in whose love and redeeming
power is the only stay and sure support of our poor and frail nature.

I20 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

8th, 1776, married Naomi, the daughter of Joseph and Sarah Walker, of
Great Valley, Chester County, Pa., who were exemplary and pious people,
and, I believe, respected by all who knew them. I have heard many testify
in an uncommon manner of the affection and grateful remembrance they
had of the noble and generous acts of kindness and hospitality extended
by my dear grand-father to themselves and others during the Revolutionary
War and since. They being members of the Religious Society of Friends,
whose principles would not permit my grand-parents to take an active part,
either offensive or defensive, in the struggle of that time, therefore, united
their efforts to do all that was in their power to relieve those that were
in trouble or distress, without respect to persons or party ; many were the
opportunities that presented for exercise of the law of kindness and acts of
charity to the poor, half clad and shivering soldiers, as well as private in-
dividuals. General Wayne selected their house for his headquarters for
six months during the winter that General Washington had his army in
winter quarters at the Valley Forge, which was a few miles from my grand-
father's dwelling. They were, of course, surrounded by the American
Army, and, consequently, witnessed a great portion of the distress and
suffering of that eventful period.

The above named William and Naomi Thomas, my dear parents, had
nine children, whose names were and are : Mary, Rees, Sarah, Joseph,
Emily, Priscilla, Louisa, William and Jane W. It is, I believe, by Divine
appointment, that my dearly beloved mother has been called from workc
to rewards. She was a woman of uncommon good understanding, and
had the spirit of discernment superior to many of her time. She seemed
very desirous to train us up in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

My two dear sisters, Emily and Sarah, have also departed this life, and
we hope and trust, have with our dear mother, entered into their eternal
habitations of rest and peace.

My Aunt Mary, the oldest child of Rees and Priscilla Thomas, married
Anthony Tunis, the oldest son of Abraham and Hannah Tunis, persons of
respectability in Lower Merion. Their children's names are: Charles,
William, Abram, Rees, Priscilla, Jane, Aubrey and Richard Tunis. My
father and Aunt Mary are all of their father's family that we know of having
children. My Uncle John and Aunt Priscilla are dead. Aunt Hannah
lives with my father, not married. Rees and Jonathan went to Kentucky,
and we have not heard from them for many years. Mary Jones.

FOURTH GENERATION. 121

Rees Thomas, who married Martha Aubrey and founded this
family, had a brother William living in 1722. (See Penna.
Archives, II. Series, Vol. XIX., p. 715.) William and David
Thomas were among the witnesses to his wedding in the year
1792. It is thought they were his brothers or near kinsmen.
(Penna. Maga., No. 13, 1889, p. 488.) I have thought the
Wm. Thomas mentioned in No. 4(>, might be Rees Thomas's
brother, as they lived near each other and were contemporaries.
In " Besse's Sufferings," we find that in 1661, in Pembrokeshire,
William Thomas, of Landewy, James Lewis and others were sent
to prison. Also, that William Thomas, of Landewy, was fined
40s. for tithes, not paying which a horse and mare are seized.

(Stevens) Pancoast, of Philadelphia. Mary Pancoast was born in
the year 1772. Lewis Walker left his country home in the year*
1782, when he was fourteen years old, and went to Philadelphia

to learn the trade of hatter, in which he served an apprenticeship
of seven years. He was actively engaged in business until the
day of his death. He was one of the original members of the
Welsh Society, to which he belonged for fifty years, its object
being to help Welsh settlers on their first arrival in Philadelphia.
In an obituary notice of him published in the Pennsylvania
Inqiurcr, at the time of his death, we read : " Lewis Walker, our
most estimable citizen, who retained until the day of his death a
most vivid recollection of the sufferings of the American Army at
Valley Forge. The encampment was on the farm of his father,
and Lewis Walker was then a boy about eleven years old. His
father's home was the residence of several of the officers, among
whom was General Wayne, his mother's cousin. Mrs. Walker
was very kind to the soldiers who were on guard near her house,
and it was the daily duty of Lewis to carry them a large pot of
mush and milk prepared for them by his mother. He enjoyed
an untarnished reputation for honor and integrity. His manners
had evidently received the impress of his early associations, and
were characterized by a stately courtesy that well became his
peculiar dress of short clothes and top boots, but did not conceal
the natural gentleness and kindness of his heart."

The following notes, taken by Lewis Walker during the sum-
mer of 1832, when cholera was epidemic in Philadelphia, were
found among his papers after his death, by his daughter, Marian
Mears.

8th mo. 8th, 1832. The situation of the Citizens of Philadelphia at
this time on account of the increase and spreading of the cholera, and
the number of deaths reported every twenty-four hours, is truly alarming
particularly to those residing near the seat of contagion. About the
skirts of the city there are many scattering cases, and it has been rapidly
increasing. The inmates of our Arch St. Prison are in an alarming con-
dition. About twenty deaths with double that number of new cases were
reported yesterday for the last twenty-four hours. Our Alms House has

FOURTH GENEKATION. I 23

not escaped. Many deaths have taken place there. It was thought ad-
visable by the managers to have one or two hundred of the inmates re-
moved to the new and more commodious building in Blockley on the west
side of Schuylkill, which was done, but alas, the sickness has broke out
amongst them and many of them are dead. Of the 116 new cases re-
ported for the last twenty-four hours there were but fifty-six within the limits
of the city, except those in the IVison and Alms House. I find there are
many of our citizens but little alarmed, our streets are so completely
cleansed and the gutters well drenched with a copious stream of the
Schuylkill water and every known nuisance removed and all the cellars
white-washed and every foul filth wherever deposited ferreted out. Yet
very many are on the wing or just awaiting to take their flight, whither to,
they know not. None of the small towns within a day's ride of this may
be exempt.

.Some consider the farm-house the safest place for escaping from the
disorder . . . I do not consider it a light matter for people to abandon
their business and homes for weeks or months having no certain knowledge
when they may return. We all have our fears and apprehensions of dis-
aster of some sort or other. It's true, we know not where we are safe,
whether at home, in the bustle of business, or in the pursuit of safety by
flight to an adjoining neighborhood. These considerations are of primary
importance, and ought to be duly weighed. 'Tis our incumbent duty to
repose full and entire confidence in the protecting arm of an all wise Provi-
dence, as he only can direct our destinies ; implore his assistance with all
our might, to have the mind in a composed state, unruffled and not tossed
as it were with a tempest. . . .

The Physicians reported this day 160 new cases, 270 odd deaths, for
the last twenty-four hours in the city and Liberties. A Barber was dis-
charged from prison late last week, on First-day morning he shaved his
customers, and was a corpse before night. It is not unusual for some of
the intemperate class to be swept off in but a few hours of sickness. I
have taken some pains, within a few days, with my acquaintances, resident
in different wards of this city, to obtain what information they possessed
about the health of their respective neighborhoods. Not any of them knew
of a single case of cholera amongst them.

8th Mo., 9th. The Board of Health reports at 12 o'clock this day,
for the last twenty-four hours, 76 new cases and 23 deaths for the city and
Liberty. This decrease will undoubtedly have a tendency of allaying the

excitement in some degree. Who can devise its origin, or who can say it
took its flight in Europe and crossed the Atlantic to the shores of North
America, or that it was generated by insects, or something of that species
which are seen on or about corruptible matter. These insects are not ex-
cluded from Hospitals, Gaols, &;c. and are often seen following a corpse to
its final deposit. We do not know there is not a poisonous property
attached to them, which will communicate — insensibly — to what ever they
may touch, as it is with some of the venomous reptile species. Whatever
they touch, almost instant death ensues. The small particles of matter
emitted through their fangs into animal nature we know, and have sorrow-
fully seen its sad effects. Its operation must be instantaneous, and injec-
tion inconceivably small. Conjecture might with propriety compare it with
one of the smallest of their tribe, which is known to be invisible without
the assistance of a magnifier. We must admit a cause for the general
devastation of this afflicting visitation amongst the human family. We see
the objects most subject to be arrested are the refuse of human nature or
the outcast sons and daughters of Bacchus. Their ranks are much reduced,
and were the disorder to continue a few months longer their number would
be almost extinct. It is not altogether confined to that class ; here and
there we see a respectable citizen, who had been uniform in life and habit,
falling before the Destroying Angel. This is admitted to be a righteous
judgement from the Almighty on the land, and calls loudly for a calm and
quiet submission to his mandate, — " Be still and know that I am God."

Phoebe Miller, of Chester, Penna. Enoch Walker was one of
those positive characters who attract attention and leave their
impression on the community in which they live. He seems to
be of a more enterprising spirit than the other members of his
family, but unfortunately his business ventures did not all suc-
ceed, and his failure affected others. Combined with a daring
spirit, he possessed a most loving disposition. He was one of
those men who live in the traditions of the family. He resided
for awhile on the farm now owned by Mathias P. Walker, and
built the house there which was first occupied by him. After-

ward, he bought " Moore Hall," * near Valley Forge, where he
lived for some time. Here he became involved in business, and
was declared bankrupt. He then went to Lackawaxen, Wayne
County, Penna., to look after some property belonging to the
estate of his father, who had recently died. This property con-
sisted of a large tract of unimproved land containing 4903
acres, which Joseph Walker had bought of Thomas Cadwalader
for $6,000 in the year 1808. The heirs of Joseph Walker were
desirous of learning if anything could be done with this land,
and Enoch was chosen to make investigations. In the year
1820, Enoch Walker, with his children Phoebe M., George M.,
Sarah M., and Priscilla, removed their certificate of membership
from Radnor to Stroudsburg Monthly Meeting.

There are some letters in the family that were written from
Enoch to his brothers from Lackawaxen, relative to selling the
property and settling up the estate. There was at that time
(1822) a saw mill on the place, a house had been built which
they hoped to have plastered soon, a well dug twenty-eight feet
deep, and thirteen acres of land had been cleared ready for
sowing. It was at one time hoped that they might start tan-
neries there — the bark to be procured from the locality and the
hides brought from New York City — but it was found to be
impracticable.

When Enoch Walker first went to Lackawaxen, his brother
Jesse, and his nephews, William Rankin and Peter Walker,
accompanied him. Probably his wife had died previously, as
her name is not on their certificate of removal. However, along
with his own children there was quite a colony of Walkers
around him. But misfortune followed him even into the wilder-

ness ; his two charming young daughters, Priscilla and Phoebe,
while on a visit to their relatives near Philadelphia, took sick and
died of a fever. I think they died on the same day, Nov. 1 3th,
1832 ; Priscilla at Germantown and Phoebe at the house of her
cousin, Mary Jones (No. 274), in Lower Merion. The two
funeral processions met at the cross-roads, near the Valley Meet-
ing House, and both were buried in the same grave in the old
graveyard. Some years after their bodies were removed to
Lackawaxen, where they now rest along with the other members
of the family.

Sarah M. Walker and her brother Georcre were the onlv
members of Enoch Walker's family who lived to mature age,
and neither of them married. They lived together in their
mountain home, and, as one who knew them remarked, " the
dearest old people they were." Their home is now owned by
Dr. Norris, of Philadelphia, who occupies it during the summer.
When Sarah M. Walker died a few years ago, there was an
obituary article published in a magazine, the name of which I
fail to remember, concerning her. It spoke of her worth in the
highest terms, of her " help to the poor by wayside, the orphan
in the asylum, the wounded soldier on the battlefield and the
condemned felon in the grated cell." Her picture, which
appeared as a frontispiece, represented her to have been a large,
handsome woman. George Walker lived to be the last of his
family^ residing in the old home until his death, which occurred in
the winter of 1892, in his 94th year. He had been engaged to
marry his cousin, Beulah Richards (No. 172), who died in her
eighteenth year, about the year 18 16. He was a surveyor and
a man of note in the county. He died possessed of considerable
property.

daughter of John and Hannah (Rogers) Morris, of Eastown
Township, Chester County, Penna. (No. 391). It is recorded in
the Radnor Monthly Meeting Record-book thus : " Joel Walker,
son of Abel and Ann, of Warrington, York County, married
Mary Morris, of Newtown, loth mo. 13th, 1820." Mary Morris,
on the death of her father in 1800, went to live with her grand-
mother, Rachel (Walker) Morris. She was then but three years
old. While on a visit to her cousins in York County with her
aunt, Ann Morris (No. 145), she met her cousin, Joel Walker,
whom she soon after married. They lived in York County
until the year 1838, when they moved to Ohio, where the family
has since resided.

A grand-daughter, Anna B. Walker, of Emerson, Ohio,
furnishes me with the following account of their emigration :

"In the spring of 183S, Joel and Mary Morris Walker
decided to emigrate to Eastern Ohio, with their family of five
sons and two daughters, in company with Jacob McMillan and
family. They started on their journey the ist of 4th mo. Joel
Walker had previously visited Jefferson County, Ohio, and had
arranged with his friend, Nathan Hussey, to live on his farm
adjoining his home-place, the said property being situated about
seven miles northwest of Mt. Pleasant.

" According to the custom of the time, they traveled in their
own conveyance. The Walker family had a large English
wagon, drawn by three horses, and a carriage, or dearborn,

I40 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

drawn by one horse. They stored what furniture and bedding
they could in the wagon, besides a great amount of provisions.
The sixteen-gallon copper kettle was filled with pies, as they
were considered a necessity — especially to the boys. It took
them two weeks to make their journey, as they were not able to
travel more than twenty miles a day. They stopped at taverns,
or rather unfurnished buildings, at night, where they used their
own bedding and provisions.

" The route from York was through Gettysburg, Bedford,
Somerset, Mt. Pleasant, Washington, Washington County,
thence on the National Pike Road to Wheeling. They had crossed
the Ohio River at Martin's Ferry on the i6th, and remained there
over a day, on account of a heavy snow. At that season of the
year the roads in this part of the country were almost impassible.
The snow and rain of winter had made the rich soil like mush to
the depth of one or two feet, and the travelers were an entire day
going from Martin's Ferry to Mt. Pleasant, a distance of nine
miles. The two families were obliged to double teams in order
to get their wagons up the many hills.

" On reaching Mt. Pleasant the McMillan family went to a
brother's house, two miles farther on. The Walkers went to
their new home, where they remained a few years, until they
bought a farm of their own in Belmont County, four miles south-
west of Mt. Pleasant, where Joel Walker and his wife resided the
remainder of their lives."

and has added an interesting postscript to his brother Isaac's
journal of the trip. (See Appendix C.) Samuel Richards was
married three times. His first wife was Mary A. Giles, who died
of the cholera, leaving two sons, Lewis W. and Samuel. His
second wife was Sarah Ann Kelvey, who possessed beauty both
of person and character. She, too, died early, leaving three
sons, John K., Charles D. and Joseph W. She was descended
from a Scotch Highlander, named MacKelvey, one of the sup-
porters of Prince " Charlie." * After the Battle of Colloden, he
escaped to France with the Prince's party, married a French
lady, and settled down to a life of exile, along with many other
Scotchmen, loyal subjects of the unfortunate Prince. In the
year 1764 their son, Thomas, was born. In 1792, during the
Reign of Terror, the family fled to England. Here they were
at first kindly receiv^ed, and Thomas MacKelvey, who about this
time seems to have dropped the " Mac," and was called Thomas
Kelvey, married Ann Secor, niece of Thomas Secor, Archbishop
of Canterbury ; but, suspected of disturbing the neutral position
of the government, they were forced to leave London. Thomas
Kelvey, with his wife and their son John, next emigrated to
America, and it is supposed that they formed a part of Blenner-
hasset's colony. The family in Ohio have some interesting heir-
looms that were brought over with them at this time, among others
a beautiful miniature portrait of Thomas Kelvey. He is repre-
sented in the picturesque costume of his time, with curled wig
and lace ruffles. The Kelvey family soon became identified with
their new home, and John Kelvey there married Keranhappuck
Hussey, a descendant of Christopher Hussey, one of the early
settlers of New England, who, with Tristram Coffin and Thomas
Macey, was among the original owners of Nantucket Island.

*In the " Legitimest Kalender," 1895, among the people attainted and driven out
of Scotland by Act of Parliament, 1745-46, is " Alex. Macgilivrae, of Drumglash,
gentleman."

FIFTH GENERATION. iaJ

Keranhappuck Hussey was also a descendant of the Rev.
Stephen Bachiler (i 561-1660). Non-Conformist, who left Eng-
land for Holland, and after a short residence there, came to
America in the year 1632. He went first to Lynn, Massachu-
setts, where his daughter Theodate (died 1649), who married
Christopher Hussey, had preceded him. From Lynn he went
to Ipswich, thence to Newberry, where he lived until 1638, when
he settled at Hampton, Massachusetts, where he was installed first
pastor of the Congregational Church. For an interestino-
account of the Rev. Stephen Bachiler, the reader is referred to
"The Life of John G. Whittier," by Pickard. It mentions the
" Bachiler eyes" as being " dark, deep set and lustrous," with a
tendency to repeat themselves from generation to generation.
Sarah Ann Kelvey had these eyes, and she has transmitted them
to some of her children. The Rev. Stephen Bachiler, who was
one of the ancestors of Daniel Webster, as well as of our
American poet, John G. Whittier, who has immortalized him in
•' The Wreck of Rivermouth," may well claim our attention, and
his descendants in the Walker family have reason to be proud of
their Bachiler blood. We can see that Sarah (Kelvey) Richards
was of distinguished ancestry, and, with such a record, it is not
to be wondered at that her eldest son should seek the poHtical
field, and interest himself in the affairs of government.

Samuel Richards married for his third wife, Laura A. West-
lake, by whom he had three children. He was a resident of
Ironton, Ohio, where he was connected with the iron business. He
frequently visited his relatives in Chester Valley, and was much
beloved by all of them. He was a tall, dignified gentleman, of
scholarly tastes. He died in the seventy-eighth year of his age,
and was carried to his grave by his six remaining sons. His
children were :

Delaware County, Penna. They lived at the old homestead of
the Rhoads family until about the year 18 10, when they moved
to Philadelphia, where Joseph Rhoads engaged in the lumber
business with his brother, Daniel J. Rhoads, under the firm name
of "J. & D. J. Rhoads." In the City Directory for 1810, their
office is given "on the south side of High St. (now Market St.),
near the Permanent Bridge." Their lumber yard extended from
what is now Twenty-second St. to Twenty-third St., and the land
from thence to the Schuylkill River was occupied by them as a
yard for cord wood and building sand. The sand was brought
up the river in a sloop owned by them, which was the first boat
to make regular trips up the river, as theirs was the first firm to
have a place of business on the Schuylkill wharfs.

In 181 5 they resided in the house now numbered 1709
Market St., and here several of their children were born. In
1820 Joseph Rhoads built a house, which was demolished in
1801, on the "west side of Schuylkill Fifth St.," now Eighteenth
St., near Filbert. In 1824 he sold out his interest in the lumber
business to his cousin, Amos Jeanes, who had been his partner
for some time in his brother's place, and returned with his family

and both are buried in the Friends' Graveyard at Darby, which
piece of ground was given to the Society by John Blunston,
great-great-grandfather of Joseph Rhoads. Joseph Rhoads was
a member of the Society of Friends, and took a decided part in
the proceedings which led to the Separation, giving his hearty
support to that branch of which Elias Hicks was considered the
exponent. He was active in the anti-slavery cause, always
giving assistance to the escaped slaves. He was also one of the
earliest in the temperance movement, and a pioneer in abolishing
whiskey from the harvest fields. (Copied from an article written

Beulah (Walker) Richards. (See No. 70.)

No. 249. Joseph Walker^ (Isaac,* Joseph,-'^ Isaac,- Lewis ^ ),
born at " Rehobeth," Tredyffrin Township, Chester County,
Penna., 8th mo. 24th, 1780, died there, istmo. 19th, 1858, married
5th mo., 18 1 2, Priscilla, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Coates)
Robinson, at Gwynedd Meeting-house. Priscilla Robinson was
born 6th mo. 20th, 1783, died 5th mo. 19th, 1835. Thomas
Robinson was a son of William and Rachel (Parks) Robinson.
William came to Pennsylvania a bachelor, marrying, about the
year 1728, Rachel Parks, who came with her parents from Ire-
land, in 172 I, to Chester, Penna. There are several heirlooms in
the family that belonged to her. One of them is a small chest
marked with her initials, another is a receipt book written by her
in the year 17 18. The penmanship of the latter is fine and the
receipts are interesting and choice, showing her to have been a
good housekeeper. Of William Robinson's parents we are in
ignorance. The name is English, and it is thought he may have
come from Yorkshire. There are many of his name there. He
was a Quaker. In the Book of Records of the Philadelphia
Monthly Meeting we find that a person of that name came to
Philadelphia from Thirsk, Yorkshire, 1702, bringing his certifi-
cate, signed by Joseph, Samuel, Thomas and Nicholas Robinson
and others. As the last two are family names, it seems probable
that William Robinson, the grandfather of Priscilla, might have

been this man. Again, in " Besse's Sufferings," Vol. i, p. 127,
the name appears: 1655, Matthew Robinson, imprisoned at
Carlisle for refusing to pay Tithes. Anne imprisoned for preach-
ing in Carlisle. 1662, Adam, "four beasts" were taken from
him worth £2'^. 1684, John and Thomas were imprisoned
and excommunicated at Cumberland. In 1660, in the North
Riding of Yorkshire, Isaac, Nicholas, Thomas and William
Robinson were imprisoned for refusing the oath.

William Robinson died in 1755. From " Abstract of W^ills,"
Pennsylvania Historical Society: "William Robinson, of New
Providence, Philadelphia County, proved June 7th, 1755, men-
tions wife Rachel, children William, Thomas, Nicholas, Mary,
Elizabeth and Rebecca Valentine. Witnesses, Owen Evans,
Thomas Valentine. Signed, May 18th, 1755." He had seven
children: William, born 1728; Elizabeth, born 1730, died 1839,

married Rossiter ; Rebekah, born I73'2, married Thomas(?)

Valentine ; Mary, born 1736, died 18 13, married Bane ;

Thomas, born 3d mo. 9th, 1739, died 8th mo. 27th, 1822, mar-
ried Sarah Coates ; Nicholas, born 1741 ; Rachel, born 1743.

Thomas Robinson, son of William, married Sarah, daughter
of Moses and Priscilla (Hutchinson) Coates, 5th mo. 22d, 1771.
He rented a farm of Mr. Morris, near Phoenixville, on the Schuyl-
kill River, where he lived for over fifty years. When he died he
had his sons settled well in life on farms of their own. The
family saw something of the British Army on its passage to
Philadelphia, and an interesting anecdote is given in Cope and
Futhey's " History of Chester County," concerning Thomas
Robinson and the English General who tried, unsuccessfully, to
make him guide the troops across the river.

When the Schuylkill Canal was cut in the year 1822, there
was an outbreak of fever in the vicinity which was very fatal,
and Thomas Robinson, his wife, and daughter Rebecca, all died

of it within a few weeks of each other. He had seven children :
Rachel, born 1773, married William Davis, and has descendants
in Lancaster County and Chester, Penna. ; Moses, born 1 774,
died 1855, married Anna Thomas (see No. 105 ) ; William, born
1776, descendants in Port Carbon, Penna. ; Thomas, born 1779,

Sarah, bom 1787, died 1872, lived after the death of her parents
with Joseph Walker at " Rehobeth," and is buried in the Valley
Graveyard ; Rebekah, born 1793, died 1822. Moses, the eldest
son, lived in Charlestown Township, Chester County. He was
a surveyor, as well as a farmer, and a noted penman. There are
many deeds, wills and marriage certificates that were written by
him in which the hand-writing compares favorably with the old-
time manuscripts of recluse monks that are shown with su much
pride in museums and galleries. He was also one of the first
farmers to plant hedges in this country'.

Sarah Coates, the wife of Thomas Robinson, born 1748,
married 5th mo. 22d, 1771, died lOth mo. 1st, 1822, was a
daughter of Moses Coates, who was the son of Moses and
Susanna Coates. The latter brought their certificates, dated 3d
mo. 8th, 1 7 17, from Carlow Monthly Meeting, Ireland, to Haver-
ford, Penna. Susanna Coates was a native of ]\Iunster, Ireland.
They settled at Phoenixville, in Chester County, about the year
1 7 5 I . They had six children : Samuel, married Elizabeth, daugh-
ter of Aaron Mendenhall, in 1743, and had three sons, — Aaron,
Moses, and Isaac, the latter of whom married Hannah Stalker,
and v.-hose children reside at Coatesville, Penna., which town
was named for their grandfather, who settled there. (See " His-
tory of Chester County," by Futhey and Cope.) Moses, married
Priscilla Hutchinson, from near Penn's Manor ; Benjamin, mar-
ried Ann Longstreth, 1756, daughter of Bartholemew and Ann
(Dawson), and grand-daughter of Christopher Longstreth ;

FIFTH GENERATION. I 67

they had children, — Jane, Susannah, Benjamin, and Tacy
Coates ; Jonathan, married Jane Longstreth, sister of Ann, and
had Ann, James, Hannah, Jonathan, Susannah, Phoebe, Keziah,
Grace, Isaac, Jane, and EHzabeth Coates ; Aaron, lived at Hav-
erford ; Elizabeth, married John Mendenhall (?). Moses Coates,
the second son of Moses and Susanna, lived on the farm settled
by his father, a large tract of land that is now incorporated in the
town of Phoenixville. It is told in "The History of Chester
County " tliat " Benedict Arnold, after the victory of Saratoga,
which his gallantry had won, remained for a week at the house
of Moses Coates, near Phcenixville." He gave a party under
the cherry trees, to which General Washington, though invited,
did not come. Generals Gates and Mifflin, Colonels Davis and
Ballard were quartered at the house also, and had a guard of
twenty-four men. The tea table from which they are said to
have drunk many cups of tea is still in the family, as well as
some of the tea cups and the small silver teaspoons used by them.
The Coates family occupied this property for some time after the
Revolution, when the son, Moses, went to Virginia and settled
there, marrying, previous to his removal, Hannah, daughter of
Mordecai Moore, of Chester Valley. I think he was the only
son. Isaac Anderson, in an article published in " Potter's
American Monthly," for January, 1875, entitled " History of
Charlestown," written about 1802, mentions them among the
original settlers of that township. He says : " The family of
Moses Coates by purchase and in the female line own and pos-
sess a part of the real estate of their great-grandfather."

Some verses composed by Moses Robinson, the great-
grandson of Moses Coates, may be of interest to the lover of old
times. As he laid no claim to the laurels of a poet, we will not
criticise their literary merit.

1 68 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

MOSES COATES.

In the village of Phoenix and near a small rill,

That ripples o'er rocks as it descends from the hill,

By some wild honey locusts and near to the road,

The Pioneer of the Wilderness took up his abode,

Where a dark, tangled forest spread over his ground

And the howling of wolves made the valleys resound.

When the country around was all covered with wood,

A boundless wilderness and deep solitude.

His cattle did then to the wilderness stray,

And when evening drew near, he'd be wending his way

Through thick-set woodland and deep forest dell,

Directing his course by the sound of their bell :

And to prevent them from falling to the wild beasts a prey

He would lodge them in folds e'er the close of the day.

In morning, to the forest he would go with his axe.

And in health he did never from his labour relax.

Till his energy and strength made the wilderness yield.

And a rich, yellow harvest waved over his field.

His labour each year did new beauties disclose.

And the wilderness blossomed like unto the rose.

The bounties of Ceres his labours beguiled.

And where late was a desert, a paradise smiled.

His seven stout sons, so blithesome and gay.

With cheerfulness worked on his farm through the day,

And when evening approached and the herd boy appeared,

The lowing of cattle and cow boy was heard.

His farmers returning most jovially along,

The plough-boys were greeted with the dairy-maids' song.

The songs of his spinners made his mansion resound,

And their spinning wheels then went merrily round.

WTiilst his weaver hard by, in a separate room.

Was timing his ditty to his shuttle and loom.

With the product of his soil were his graneries stored.

And crowned was, with plenty, his hospitable board.

Kind Providence granting what he could reasonably desire,

And he rose to a competency to which few could aspire.

FIFTH GENERATION. 1 69

But now, alas, how changed is the scene.

There is scarcely a vestige of what it has been.

Far down in his meadow where his cattle once strayed,

The sons of old Vulcan * their fire works displayed.

Dark columns of smoke in the heavens have appeared,

And loud peals of thunder are freciuently heard.

And near its north border, close by the old swamp.

Where Jack o' the Lantern did oft light his lamp,

There stands a huge column, belching forth smoke and flame.

As if ^tna and Vesuvius were playing a game.

His beautiful garden has gone to decay,

And his mill and his mansion have both passed away ;

And the boats may be seen, now, passing along.

Where his haymakers were enraptured with the dairy-maids' song.

But nearly a century did since intervene,

And Oblivion's dark mantle has shrouded the scene.

♦

In these verses allusion is made to "seven stout sons" of
Moses Coates, but only five are recorded. Moses, 2d, had, I
think, but the one son, who went to Virginia.

Joseph Walker and his wife went, immediately after their
marriage, to a farm in Radnor Township, near old St. David's
Church, where they lived until 1822, when on the death of his
father he inherited the homestead " Rehobeth," to which he
moved, and there resided till his death. Priscilla, his wife, is said
to have been a gentle, quiet woman, and, like all the members of
her family, of an amiable disposition. On her death, her sister
Sarah took charge of the household, and was a mother to the
small children, by whom she was tenderly loved and honored.
She lived to be eighty-five, retaining all her faculties to the last.
She never wore " flannels," and all her gowns were made low-
necked and of a by-gone fashion, her shoulders being discreetly
covered with silk or mull kerchiefs. She was a famous knitter,
as well as a charming story teller.

lyo GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

Joseph Walker was a large, handsome man, with a ruddy
complexion, and a kind and cheery manner. Residing at the
homestead, and being near the meeting-house, of \yhich he in-
herited the office of care-taker, all the stranger Friends came to
his house, where a hearty welcome was always accorded them.
In his day the Quaker preachers traveled all over the country
on mission work, sometimes in carriages, sometimes on horse-
back, and whenever they came near the Valley they turned aside
to make their home with Joseph Walker for a few days. He
sometimes preached in small meetings ; though he was not
endowed with the gift of eloquence, he was what is called "an
accepted minister." He and Joseph Davis sat at the head of the
Valley Meeting in the galler>', and, in the absence of visiting
preachers, had a few words to say. Their example as God-
fearing, honest men and courteous gentlemen had possibly more
effect on their hearers than the words they uttered.

During Joseph Walker's occupancy of the homestead the
house was extensively changed. A kitchen was added to the
north side, and the former kitchen was converted into a sitting-
room, while the quaint old room which had served for meetings
of worship in Lewis Walker's time, and had been the family
room for over a century, was transformed into a dining-room.
The bed-rooms in the old part of the house were also changed.

Joseph and Priscilla Walker, along with six of their children,
are buried in the graveyard at the top of the hill. They had
eight children :

County, Penna., 2d mo. 2d, 1782, died at "The Meadows," in
the same township in the year 1822, of typhus fever, a disease
epidemic at that time in the vicinity. He married Jane, born
1783, daughter of David and Susanna (Malin) Havard, of Tredyf-
frin Township. In 18 13, Hananiah Walker made acknowledg-
ment to the Radnor Monthly Meeting for " marrying out," and
a year later his wife did the same.

The Havards were among the earliest settlers of Chester
County, the first on record being John Havard, who took up a
large tract of land lying between Howellville and New Centre-
ville about the commencement of the i8th century. This tract
comprised the farms of the late William Ritter, David Wilson,
William Roberts, and William Davis as well as that owned by
A. J. Cassatt, called " Chester Brook," which until recently
was the property of David Havard.

The family came originally from Wales, but from what part
of the Principality is not known. In the " Pennsylvania Archives,"

172 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

3d Series, Vol. XIX., we learn that, "By virtue of a letter of
Attorney under the hands of the said Joseph and Mary Lloyd, of
the town of and county of Haverford West, cordwainer, dated
30th, 1st mo., 1690, Granted 100 acres to Mary Havard, widow
of David Havard, deceased." This would seem to indicate that
they came from Pembrokeshire. There are Havards now living
in Narberth, which is only a few miles from Haverford West.
Again, in the same volume of the " Pennsylvania Archives," we
come across the name, when "4th mo. 5th, 1696, Hannah and
John Parson sold 210 acres to David Havard, dying intestate, left
his son, John, heir to the said land, to whom Mary, his mother,
relict of the said David, and the said Hannah, relict of John Day
and now wife to James Atkinson, requested it may be confirmed
b\- patent." This was done at a Session of the Commissioners
of Philadelphia, 3d mo. loth, 1701. (This was part of John
Day's grant of 1250 acres given 6th mo. 19th, 168 1.) Again, in
Minute Book G, "Signed a patent to David Harvard for 229
acres." I cannot account for this anachronism of David Havard
being dead in 1690. and buj-ing land in 1696, except it be
another David Havard. We know there was one of that name,
a " glover," who had a daughter Ann, who married John Powell,
cooper, I ith mo. 12th, 1696. The marriage was witnessed by
John and David Havard. (Radnor Meeting Records.)

John Havard. son and heir of David and Mary Havard, born
in Wales, 1674, married, 1706, Margaret, daughter of John and
Elizabeth Lewis, of Haverford. He was executor to her father's
estate. There is in the family a Church of England prayer-book,
dated 1656, that was the property of Margaret Lewis. They
Hved in the house recently occupied by David Havard, near
Howellville, which is still standing. Margaret, the wife of John
Havard, died in 1712, leaving two daughters: Mar)', born 1709,
who married, 1738, Herbert Thomas (see No. 112); and Mar-

garet, born 171 i, who married, loth mo. 27th, 1762, John
Hibberd. John Havard married second, Sarah Evans, and had
John, born 1714; Ann, 1716; f^annah, 1718; Elizabeth, 1720;
Sarah, 1721 ; David, 1723, died 1724; (?) Samuel, 1726, and
Benjamin, 1729. (Radnor Meeting Records.)

John, the son of John and Sarah (Evans) Havard, married
Miriam Thomas. A house was built for them on a part of the
Havard tract, which was afterwards occupied by their grand-
children, William Davis and his sisters ; a portion of the farm
was also given to them. They had but one child, Mary, who
married William Davis. This property was put up for sale on
the death of the last child of William and Mary (Havard) Davis,
and it was bought by David Havard, the former owner of
" Chester Brook." During the winter of 1777-8, General the
Count Du Portails had his headquarters at the house of John
Havard, and has left his name cut upon one of the panels of
a door.

David, another son of John and Sarah (Evans) Havard, mar-
ried Susanna Malin. (There must be a mistake in the record or
else another son was born after the death of the Da\-id who died
in 1724.) They lived at the homestead and inherited the farm
of 300 acres that went with it. They had three children : Sarah,
born 1775, married Jonathan Miller; Benjamin, born 1780, mar-
ried Mary Jones ; and Jane, who married Hananiah Walker.

The other son of John and Sarah (Evans) Havard, who lived
to grow up, was Samuel, who, with his two unmarried sisters,
lived in the house on the other side of the creek, which was
recently the home of William Ritter. He never married, and at
his death, in 1808, left his land, the Ritter and Wilson farms, to
his nephew, Dr. John Havard Davis, from whom it was after-
wards sold by the sheriff. It is said that this same nephew
inherited, along with the land, thirty thousand dollars in silver,

which was as much as three men could carry. The two sisters,
Hannah and Sarah Havard, willed all of their property to their
nephew, Benjamin Havard, who gave it to his only daughter,
Susan, who married William Roberts (No. 680), who is the
present owner.

Benjamin and Mary (Jones) Havard had a son David, before
mentioned, who married Mary Reinhart. They lived at the old
home until it was sold, and there all, except the last one of his
children, who is the child of his second wife, were born. His
eldest daughter, Lydia, married Abijah Stephens, the son of
William M. and Susan (Davis) Stephens (see No. 267). His
other children are Frank, John, David, Lewis, Charles, Ellen and
Wade Havard.

Elizabeth, daughter of John and Sarah (Evans) Havard mar-
ried at "Tredyffrin :Meeting, ist mo. 3d, 1753," John, son of
John Jacobs, of Providence, which marriage was witnessed by
John, Sarah, Hannah and Samuel Havard. It is recorded also
that " David Powell, of Philadelphia, surveyor, and Mary
Havard, of Merion, widow," were married in 1706. Witnesses,
John, William and ]^Iargaret Havard. This William Havard
who signed the certificate must have been a member of the-
family also; he married loth mo., 1712," Captain Roche's
daughter, Elizabeth." William Davis, Justice of the Peace of
Chester County, married them.

Henry Woodman, heretofore extensively quoted, says in his
" History of Valley Forge " that General Lafayette took up his
quarters with Samuel Havard, who lived on Valley Creek, two
miles south of Washington's headquarters, and "that a friendly
intercourse" was kept up between him and the Baron De Kalb,
who was at the house of Abijah Stephens, lower down the
Valley. From the same authority we learn that General Knox
lived with John Havard, whose property extended towards

FIFTH GENERATION. I 75

Valley Forge on " both sides of the Baptist road," and that
General Lee was quartered with David Havard.

Though the Havards were Quakers, they owned slaves, and
when it became obligatory in the Society to free their negroes or
forfeit their membership, which was about the year 1750, David
Havard gave his their freedom. It is said though they accepted
their freedom they all returned to the old home to die. It is
characteristic of the family that they took them in, as they have
always been noted for their kindness to the poor and the dis-
tressed, as well as for their hospitality to their friends.

There was a Havard family in Wales that occupied a promi-
nent place in its history at one time, and although we have found
nothing to connect them with the Chester County Havards, yet
the similarity of names leads one to think that they are of the
same origin. In " The Visitation of Wales," 1 591, we read:
" In 1092, Bernard Newmarch, or Nova Mercata, followed the
example of other Norman Knights, and crossed over from
France to Wales, wasting the country in Breconshire and put-
ting all that opposed him to the sword. He took possession of
various choice lands and gave others to his followers. To one
of these, Sir Walter Havard, he gave the Castle of Pontwilym,
where for many generations they resided in considerable,affluence.
The name of Havard appears to be a corruption of De Havre, or
Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the Seine in Normandy."
(Havre signifies mouth.)

In I 591 Lawrens Havard prepared a family record for the
Herald, who made a visitation in Wales at that time. When
this occurred all manner of persons who pretended to the use of
anus, or were styled esqidrcs or gentlemen, had to appear before
him and show by what authority they claimed the distinction.
They were ordered to bring their arms, crests, pedigrees and
descents, " and such evidence of ancient writing as may justify

176 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

the same." As long as the laws of chiv^alry were honored this
custom was continued, and without it many pedigrees would
have been lost. After 1688 it was discontinued, partly by the
incompetency and dishonesty of the persons deputed by the
Heralds to collect information. The earliest of the published
records is 1529, and they were collected about every twenty-five
years. Sometimes a family would neglect it by reason of poverty,
for there was a tax to pay, and sometimes they let it fall into
desuetude, as in the time of Cromwell, for conscientious reasons.
The Quakers, following the example of the early Christians,
looked upon all such things as worldly pride. They gave up the
outward sign of noble birth, and frequently cut themselves off
from every member of their family who was of another religious
way of thinking. For that reason many of the Pennsylvanians
left their coats-of-arnis in the old world, though entitled to bear
them.

The record prepared by Lawrens Havard contains eleven
generations, commencing with Sir Peter Hafart, of the time of
William Rufus, who would probably be a son of Sir Walter. It
runs thus : David and his brother John Havard, son of Larens,
son of Hary, son of Thomas, son of Wiliam, son of Wiliam,
son of Meredyedd, son of Madog, son of Gwalter, son of John,
son of Sir Peter Hafart.

Another "Visitation " of 1597 gives: Pyrs Havard, son of
Thomas, son of John of Radnor, son of Piers, son of John, son
of Hywel, son of Stephen, son of Davydd, son of Llewelyn
Crygeryr, who married Jonet, daughter and heir of Thomas
Havard.

The arms of this old Welsh family are very simple, — a
roughly executed bull's head, the motto, "In deo spes." One
of the mottoes of a branch of the family is, " Hafardiad pen tarw
kock a thair ser aur." I have seen the arms carved on the east

FIFTH GENERATION. 1 77

end of the " Vicars Chapel " in the old Priory Church at Brecon,
Wales. This Chapel was erected by the Havards, and in the
time of Queen Elizabeth was known as the " Havard Chapel."
The initials B. H. are carved above it. The arms appear on
several tombs of the old church. Indeed, this part of Wales was
the home of the family for generations. The old castle of Pont-
wilym was near Brecon, and Brecon Castle, the stronghold of
Bernard Newmarch, though in ruins, still dominates the town.

From "Antiquities of Glamorganshire " : "There camemanie
gentlemen with the said Bernard Newmarch, among them, the
Havards of the Manour of Pontwilym." "The Havards after
sixteen generations removed to Dolhaidd, and afterwards to
Goitre, Carmarthenshire." "A name which has been familiar in
Breconshire ever since surnames were invented." " Pontwilym,
where the Havards for many ages held sway."

From " County Families of Wales," by Thomas Nicholas,
Vol. I., page 89: Havard, "for many generations resided in
considerable affluence at Pontwilym. In the 8th generation
Madog Havard married a Welsh lady of the family of Einion
Sais, ancestor of Sir David Gam." *

"Thomas Havard served as sheriff of Breconshire, 1543,
'49, '56, but the name does not afterwards appear. About the
1 6th generation, the family for some reason or other left Pont-
wilym, and probably the principal branch left Breconshire, for we
find no mention of them henceforth at Pontwilym. John, the son
of the sheriff, who is said to have married a daughter of Llewelyn
ap Rhys, of Peytyn Gwyn, and who is not called ' of Pontwilym,'
had a son Harry, of Dolhaidd, County Carmarthan, and his
grandson Harry, is called 'of Goitre in Emlyn.' This Harry

married Mary, daughter of Rev. Morris Williams, vicar of
Llangelen, 1613. In about six generations after him the name
disappears in Carmarthenshire, through failure of male issue.
In Breconshire, in junior branches it exists longer, and is pos-
sibly not yet extinct. The site of the ancestral mansion is
still dimly visible in the depression of a moat which sur-
rounded it."

There was a Sir William Havard, Knight, of Cardiff, Gla-
morganshire, in 1586. Thomas Havard lived in Radnor town
in 1597. In 1 591 a Da\"id Havard had brothers and sisterS
named John, Ffylib, Nickolas, Ann, Mari, Marged, and Elsbeth.

On or before his marriage with Jane Havard, Hananiah
Walker gave up the business of hatter, to which trade he had
serv^ed an apprenticeship with his uncle Lewis Walker, in Phila-
delphia, and went to farming. He bought the property adjoin-
ing that of his brother Joseph, from Helen, a daughter of John
Miller, and called it "The ]\Ieadows," John Miller had bought
it from William Godfrey, who inherited it from his father,
Thomas Godfrey, who came here from Wales in 1708. The
house in which the Godfreys lived was torn down some thirty or
more years ago. It had served as a tenant house for John
Miller, who had built himself a new dwelling close by, which is
now the residence of the Walker family.

To this " new house" came Hananiah and Jane Walker, and
here their children were born, but all too soon both the father
and mother died, leaving four children to the guardianship of
their uncle, Joseph Walker. An aunt, Rachel W^alker (No. 256),
lived with them until her marriage.

The children of Hananiah and Jane (Havard) W'alker were :

Mary W. Roberts was a woman whom every one loved and

to everybody, and of a social disposition, which delighted in
giving and receiving visits. She helped keep alive the feeling of
kinship among her relations, and the notes collected by her were
the nucleus of this genealogy. She had a good memory, and
knew the youngest amongst us as well as she knew our earlier
ancestors. She seemed the connecting link between the genera-
tions. She had known her grandfather, born 1731, as well as
his mother, born 171 3, who died 1802 ; therefore her stories of
" old times " were valuable and interesting. She might well have
been called "the family minstrel." She would recite old ballads,
commemorative of local events, — those composed by her uncle,
" Billie " Thomas, being the favorites. She lived to a good old

becker, who was born in Holland, probably in Flomborn, about
1674, and came to Pennsylvania before 1702, where he died
April 4th, 1754. He married, 1699, in Germantown, Pa., Eve,
daughter of Hans Peter Umstat, who arrived in Philadelphia on
the "Francis & Dorothy," Oct. 12th, 1685. This ship sailed
from London, Richard Bridgeman commanding. Hans Peter
was son of Nicholas Umstat, who died at Crefeldt on the Rhine,
1682. Hans Peter died 1702.

Hendrick Pannebecker settled about Wernersvalle, Penna.
(For more particulars see " The Pennypacker Pedigree," by
Judge S. W. Pennypacker.) His son, Jacob, born 17 15, died
1752, married Margaret Tyson, daughter of Mathias (died 1766)
and Barbara Tyson, and granddaughter of Cornelius and Mar-
garet Tyson. Mathias Pennypacker, son of Jacob and Margaret
(Tyson) Pennypacker, born Oct. 14th, 1742, father of Sarah
Walker, was a noted Mennonite preacher.

According to an entry in his father's note-book, " William
and Sarah moved to the Lower place, 4th mo. 3d, 18 17." The
dwelling-house, known as " Rehobeth Spring," was built by
Enoch Walker, and was occupied by him for a time. The farm
is a part of the original Walker tract, and lies bet^veen " Reho-
beth " and the " Wayne Headquarters farm." William Walker
lived here for more than fifty years. He was a prosperous
farmer, a man of genial disposition, and much hospitality was
dispensed in the old rambling farm-house by him and his family.
His wife, Sarah Walker, had the reputation of having been the
prettiest girl in Charlestown Township, and no one would doubt
it who looked at her in her beautiful old ao;e. She has trans-
mitted her good looks to her children along with her warm-
hearted, social disposition. They celebrated their golden
wedding in 1867, surrounded by a number of children, grand-

1 86 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

The Stephens family are among the earliest settlers of
Chester County, and some members of it still occupy the land
purchased by their ancestor from William Penn, They have
been associated \vith the Walkers from the earliest times, both in
business and social relations, and the two families have so fre-
quently intermarried that the histor}- of one is almost the history
of the other.

Lewis Walker and Stephen Bevans were the originators of
the \^alley ^Meeting in 171 4. Stephen Evans (or Bevans) with
Daniel and Isaac Walker were the pioneers in the iron industry'
of Pennsylvania. The forge they started at ]\It. Joy for its
manufacture gave the name of Valley Forge to the place. (See
Penna. Alaga., Vol. XVII., p. 93.) Stephen Evans' name is
attached as a witness to Lewis Walker's will, as well as to several
of the wedding certificates belonging to the family.

The earliest ancestor of whom the present generation has any
definite knowledge is Evan ap Evan, or Evan Bevan, who had
a large grant of land (tradition says 2000 acres) in the Welsh
tract. This included the farms now owned by William Fisher,
the late Abraham Beidler, James Chatwin, Lewis Piersol and
W^illiam Stephens. Henr\- Woodman, in his " Histor}' of Valley
Forge,"* says : "The original tract, containing upwards of 2000
acres, was taken up by Evan ap Bevan, or Evaniah Be\an, a native
of Radnorshire, in the Principality of Whales, about the year 1686.

"Whether he emigrated to this countr}- or not, I cannot say
with certainty, but from ha\ang seen his name to certain title
deeds, I have come to the conclusion that he must have resided
for several of the last years of his life in this, then, Province of
Pennsylvania. One thing is certain, that he was the original

*" History of Valley Forge," a series of letters that were written many years ago
by Henrj' Woodman, a descendant of Evan ap Evan. They were published in a Bucks
County newspaper, and have been preserved by a member of the family in a scrapbook.

FIFTH GENERATION. 187

ancestor of the Stephens family, since very numerous in that
part of the country, and some branches of the family now in
possession of a part of other land granted to him years ago.

" I have always understood that this was the first forge
(Valley Forge) for the manufacture of iron in the Province, and
was first commenced by Stephen Evans, a son of the aforesaid
Evan ap Bevan, and Isaac Walker, a son of Lewis, the original
ancestor of the Walker family, since, and at this time composing
a numerous and respectable portion of the inhabitants of that
part of the country, some of them now being in possession of the
original portion of land granted to him in 1684."

Stephen Bevan, the son of Evan ap Evan, changed his name
to Stephen Evans. In the Radnor Monthly Meeting Records
we may see the register of his marriage. It says : Stephen
Evans, of Tredyffrin, batchelor, married Mary Davis, spinster,
daughter of William, of Upper Merion, 9th mo. 12th, 17 18. He
took his wife to Tredyffrin, where a house was erected near by
the present Stephens homestead, now owned by the Fisher
family, and here they lived, farming the large tract of land he
had inherited from his father. He had a brother David, as will
be seen on reading his will, who probably shared in his father's
estate. From "Abstract of Wills," at Penna. Hist. Soc. : " Stephen
Evans, of Chester Co., Yeoman : his wife Mary, sons, Jesse and
Abijah, executors. His children, David, Ruth (Hayle), Benja-
min, Abijah, and Jesse : grand-daughter Prudence Hayle.
Trustees, his brother David and Thomas Waters. Witnesses :
David Stephens, Thomas Waters and William Godfrey. Signed,
Feb. 2 1 St. 1754. Proved, June 12th, 1754."

In the will of David Lewis, 1752, he mentions his friends
Abijah, Jesse and Benjamin Stephens, and Stephen Evans is
appointed one of the executors. Of these children, Abijah
Stephens married Priscilla Thomas, daughter of Thomas Thomas.

1 88 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

(See No. 46.) The wedding was witnessed by Mary, David,
Elizabeth and Hannah Stephens, William, Hezekiah, Philip and
Rebekah Thomas and others. David, another son of Stephen
Evans, married Elizabeth Edwards, daughter of Maurice and
Eleanor Edwards. David lived near Valley Forge, in the house
now occupied by his descendant, William Stephens. His wife,
an only child, inherited a large farm adjoining, now owned by
Mr. Pearsoll. They had three children : ^Maurice Stephens ;
Abijah Stephens, married Elizabeth Moore ; and Eleanor Steph-
ens, who married Jacob Richardson, of Valley Forge.

Abijah Stephens, in course of time, built a larger house for
his family near the old one. He was a prosperous farmer, and
much respected in the neighborhood. He and his wife were
worthy people, and, like other residents of that section of
countr)', they were intimately associated with the American
Army at Valley Forge. It is said that every- bit of rail fence on
the Stephens farm was burnt by the soldiers for fire wood dur-
ing that memorable winter of 'yy and 'j8. Various other heavy
losses were sustained by them. He had what is called " a dft
in medicine." He had the title of " Doctor," though he had
never studied at any college for the degree, and his ser\'ices
were highly appreciated by the soldiers at the camp. He made
a salve, noted for its healing powers, that was much in requisi-
tion, the receipt of which is still in the family and still used. His
services as a physician were always given gratuitously and his
posterity was taught to do the same. As one of his descendants
remarks, in furnishing me with incidents relating to her family :
" That is perhaps the reason that none of us have ever risen to
wealth." There are some interesting stories related of the family
that were sent me by Mrs. Lydia W. (Stephens) Hillis, which I
take pleasure in inserting :

FIFTH GENERATION. 1 89

FEEDING THE SOLDIERS.

' ' Washington having decided to encamp for the winter at Valley Forge,
sent some of his officers in advance to secure headquarters for the different
commanders. The utmost secrecy in regard to their movements 1)eing
necessary, they could give but little warning, except to pass through the
neighborhood and write upon the doors of the different houses the name of
the General who expected to occupy it. Upon my grandfather's door they
wrote 'Headquarters of General Wheeden.' Knowing the famished
condition of the soldiers, my grandmother prepared a large pot of soup —
they having killed a beef a few days before — and baked from a large tub of
buckwheat batter a quantity of cakes. Upon these, with accompanying
vegetables, the soldiers were feasting when General Wheeden arrived, and
he, being of a very inhuman disposition, swore at them for entering the
house before his arrival, striking some with his sword, all fleeing from him
in abject terror. Regardless of the threats of the commanding officer, my
grandmother ordered the soldiers to carry the vessels of soup into the
yard, and there they devoured their meal, as ' described by my grand-
parents, ' like ravenous beasts,' so great was their hunger.

" Happily, General Wheeden' s reign was of short duration. His
successor was Baron De Kalb, between whom and my grandfather a warm
friendship was formed. Many letters passed between them afterwards,
none of which have been preserved, except a letter of introduction which
was brought by a friend of the Baron, Captain Du Ponceau, of Philadelphia,
who was seeking country air in quest of health."

Sarah S, Walker, wife of Moses Walker (No. 670), and great-
grand-daughter of Abijah Stephens, has seen the original letter
of introduction, and fortunately had a copy of it along with some
explanatory remarks clipped from a newspaper :

A REVOLUTIONARY LETTER.

" During the time when the American Army was encamped at Valley
Forge in 1777-8, the Baron De Kalb, who held the rank of Major-General,
and who was afterwards killed at the first battle of Camden in South Caro-
lina, had his headquarters at the house of a gentleman, named Abijah
Stephens, not far from the historical camp-ground.

" After the Army had left this part of the country, the Baron gave a

IQO GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

friend a letter of introduction to Mr. Stephens, some copies of which are still
in existence. This is the letter :

" ' Philadelphia, April 12th, 1780.

• ■ ' Sir : — Captain Du Ponceau, a particular friend of mine, going to
Valley Forge for change of air and the recovery of his health, and being un-
acquainted with the country, I shall take it as a very peculiar favor if you can
and will do him the service to introduce him into some neighboring houses.
I shall be glad to hear from you and your family. I hope they are all well.
Though I was very poorly, yet when I left you in 1778, I recovered so well
during the campaign that I have been hearty ever since. Colonel Dubuison,
whom I left in camp in Morristown, is well. Major Rogers left the army
in October, 1778, and is since at home in Baltimore. I am to set out for
South Carolina in a short time. Could have wished to call on you before,
but do not think I have it in my power.

" ' I wish you all happiness, wealth and prosperity, and am, sir, your
very humble servant, The Baron De Kalb, Major-General.

" ' To Mr. Stephens, by favor of Captain Du Ponceau, near Valley
Forge.'

When the Hessian troops passed through the Valley they
visited the Stephens homestead, an account of which has been
furnished me by Mrs. Hillis in the following words : " When
the family saw the Hessians approaching they secured such
articles of value as they could, among them a set of silver spoons,
which they placed in the pocket of grandfather's mother (Mary
Davis Stephens), who was then very old and in her dotage. The
first act of the Hessians was to seize grandfather by the collar,
draw a dagger and rob him of his watch. Their actions, of
course, alarmed the old lady, who kept feeling in her pocket and
exclaiming, ' Prissie, does thee think the spoons are safe ? ' For-
tunately the soldiers did not understand English, though, with
all their rudeness, they seemed to respect old age, taking her
affectionately by the hand and calling her ' M udder '."

The old arm-chair in which " Grandmother Stephens " sat
when the Hessians invaded the premises is now owned by

Thomas Thomas, of Philadelphia, who received it from his
mother, Mary H. Thomas, of Norristown, Penna., who is a
descendant of Abijah Stephens through the Woodman family.

Abijah and Priscilla (Thomas) Stephens had seven children,
who, it will be noticed, retained the name of Stephens, after the
English manner, instead of taking Abijah for their patronimic,
which was the Welsh custom, and which the family had hitherto
adopted. Their only son, Stephen, married Sarah MacVeagh,
daughter of Jeremiah and Eleanor (Evans) MacVeagh, 4th mo,
27th, 1 79 1. They were married at the Valley Meeting-house.
(Jeremiah MacVeagh, who married Eleanor Evans, of Gwynedd,
was an ancestor of the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh.) Stephen
Stephens inherited the farm, and when he retired from active life
he built an addition to the house which he occupied, — his son
Abijah living in the other part of the house, and farming the
land. He died 8th mo. 31st, 1845. He had Abijah Stephens,

Nov. 2d, 183 1, Eliza Ann Brooke, daughter of Abner and
Mercy (Kinsey) Brooke, and granddaughter of Mahlon Kinsey,
of Chester County.

Isaac Walker received the rudiments of his education in the
school-house that his father had built upon the place, and of
which he was for a time the instructor. He afterwards attended
the Friends' Grammar School at Sadsbur}^ At the earnest
solicitation of his mother he learned the trade of a tanner and
currier. His father broke ground on the old farm to build a
tan-yard for him, the old vats are still there, but in 1830 he
purchased a tannery in Sadsbury, near to the village of Smyrna,
which he afterwards founded, and where he combined the busi-
ness of merchant with that of tanner. In the winter of 1839,
under the administration of Governor Porter, he was appointed
to the charge of the Gap Division of the Philadelphia and Col-
umbia Railroad, in which position he continued for five years.
In October, 1847, he purchased a part of the home farmstead,
near the Gap, where for more than thirty years he was engaged
in farming. In 1872, he bought the " Penn Spring," and erected
a monument there commemorative of the Founder. He also
bought the " Shawnee Garden," the home of his mother's ances-

FIFTH GENERATK>N. 217

tors, where he built three houses. He continued in active busi-
ness, that of merchant and farmer, up to the time of his death,
which occurred on the sixty-first anniversary of his marriage.
He and his wife celebrated their Golden Wedding in 1881.

Isaac Walker was noted " for his rare knowledge of matters
pertaining to the early settlement of Lancaster County, and has
written considerably on the early history of the south eastern
section of the county." (See " Biographical History of Lancas-
ter County," by Harris.) He was conceded to be one of the
best local historians of the day, and the most of his leisure time
was spent in writing for the newspapers on this subject. He was
also a student of the Bible, and was remarkably well posted in
ancient history.

It is interesting to notice the ancestry of Isaac W^alker. His
great-great-grandfathers were all pioneers in the Province of
Pennsylvania, and men of reputation in their locality and of their
time. They were : ist, Lewis Walker ; 2d, Andrew Moore, one
of the first settlers of Lancaster County, in 1723 ; 3d, Jeremiah
Starr, a first settler of New Garden, and a member of the Prov-
incial Assembly in 1740. (He and his wife, Rebecca, emigrated
from Ireland. Their daughter, Ann, married James Moore, son
of Andrew) ; 4th, Guion Miller, who was one of the first settlers
of Kennett Square, Chester County ; 5th, Isaac Taylor, one of
the surveyors of William Penn. (He helped to make the
boundary line between Lancaster and Chester Counties. He was
the original purchaser of all the land in the Gap, and the first
stone house erected there was built by him. He was also a
member of the Provincial Assembly from Chester County from
1705 to 1723) ; 6th, Nathan Newlin, a member of the conven-
tion which framed the old Constitution of Pennsylvania, whose
daughter, Mary, married Gains, son of, 7th, Joseph Dickinson,
an early settler of Salisbury Township ; 8th, Edward Jerman, of

Joseph Walker is president of the Gap National Bank, of
Lancaster County, and a member of the Commercial Exchange
of Philadelphia. He is an enthusiastic genealogist, and has
assisted in collecting and arranging the various members of his
branch of the family. His interest in his ancestry commenced
many years ago, and he has given much attention to the subject.
He has looked up the different Walkers in Great Britain who
are mentioned in the encyclopedias and biographies, and finding
there was one in the law, one an iron-master, and one an agricul-
turist, each of which had achieved success, he is of the opinion
that our family might belong to that of the latter because we
have always been more or less interested in the cultivation of the
land. This theory is a very plausible one, and worth inquiring
into. There was a John Walker, of Dairy, belonging to a Mid-
lothian family of the same name, who is celebrated as the person
"who first introduced the system of fallowing land or of thor-
oughly revising wheat crops. He was a person of great intelli-
gence and enterprise, and set an example of superior farm culture
to his neighbors." (See " Landed Gentry of Great Britain and
Ireland," — Burke. ) He lived in the i8th century. Joseph
Walker rightly argues that the characteristics of a family would
develop in some direction, good or bad, for many generations,
and he thinks that, though we cannot prove it, we are of the
same blood as this Midlothian family. He reasons that his own

father was of the t)-pe of John Walker, of Dairy. The Walkers
are noted for their affection for their ancestral acres, and, though
many of thcni have entered the professions, there are very few
who have gone into mercantile business. Joseph Walker is a
resident of the Gap. He has five children. His eldest son is
united with him in business, becoming a member of the firm
in 1880.

Yorkshire. Tradition says it is descended from Donald Bane,
son of the murdered Duncan, who, on the death of his brother
Malcolm, claimed the throne of Scotland, as was his right
according to the, then, Scotch law. Malcolm's son, with the
assistance of the English, dethroned him after a short reign, and

Donald was obliged to seek the shelter of the highlands, along
with his Gaelic chieftains. After some years of desultory fight-
ing they were driven from Scotland, and, it is said by some
authorities, came to northern Yorkshire, where the sons of
Donald founded the family that bears their name. However
true this may be, the Bayneses are of distinguished and ancient
lineage, and there are to be found on their family tree many
names that testify to their worth. In an old pedigree that goes
back eight hundred years, are warriors, crusaders, nuns, and one
bishop, while in the later centuries are poets, painters, clergymen,
and dissenters, both of Church and State. One of Cromwell's
most trusted officers. Captain Adam Baynes, was of this York-
shire family and a near relation to the forebears of Mary Baynes
Walker. This branch lixcd at " Heigh-holm " Hall, near Kil-
lington, Westmoreland, which property was owned by them for
many generations. They have been associated with Yorkshire
since 1182, when, according to Burke, one of them came there
from the north and established the famil)'. (See the " Deucator
Leodientis," " Reitstap," and "Burke's Peerage.") The arms
are : "Arms sa. A shin bone in fesse surmounted by another
in pale arg. The crest — a cubit arm. vested, az., cuffed,
erminois, the hand holding the jaw bone, arg." Motto :
" Furor arma ministrat."

When George Fox appeared in Yorkshire preaching the new
doctrine, William and Joseph Baynes of " Stangerthwait " were
among the earliest converts to Quakerism, and they suffered much
in fines and imprisonments for conscience' sake. (See " Piety Pro-
moted," and " Besse's Sufferings " ).

In the troubled times of the Commonwealth and for some
years afterwards the records of church and meeting-house were
not kept with the care necessary for their preservation, and,
aithough we know that James Baynes' grandfather was of this

stock, we cannot find any record of his birth. We simply con-
jecture that he was a son, born of a second marriage of Joseph
Baynes of " Stangerthwait," with Barbara Askew, 1691. Joseph
was born in 1633, and James Baynes in 1700, when his sup-
posed father was sixty-seven years old. Joseph was son of James
Baynes, " Yeoman," died 1671, and his wife, Agnes, died 1664,
of " Killington," Westmoreland. (There are other records of
the family now extant, and in course of preparation by other
members of the family in England, which it is not necessary to
insert in this work.)

James Baynes, born 1700, died 1772, married, 2d mo. 7th,
1736, Mary, daughter of Thomas Lambert, of " Blean," a farm-
house so-called, in Wensleydale overlooking Semerwater. She
was born 17 1 1, died 1797, and both are buried at Bainbridge, in
Wensleydale. They had ten children : Mabel, born 1736, mar-
ried, 1757, Adam Harker ; Thomas, born 1737; James born
1739, died 1785 ; Maiy, born 1741, married, 1765, Christopher
Mires ; Margaret, born 1743, married, 1778, John Rickaby ; John,

born 1746; Oswald, born 1748, married, 1777, Mary Lambert;
Ann, born 1750; Joseph, born 1765, died 1778.

Frances Beezon, the wife of John Baynes, was daughter of
John Beezon, of " Wood Hall Park," a farm in Wensleydale, long
in possession of the Beezon family. John Beezon, in his will
dated 1773, leaves a " property called Shellcote, on the Scarr,
north of the Turnpike road leading from Woodhall to Askrig,"
to his daughter Frances Baynes, along with " Wood Hall Park,"
and all the plate and furniture. Frances was born at " Wood
Hall Park," 1751, and died there, 7th mo. 4th, 1781. She is
buried in the Quaker graveyard at Aysgarth, not far distant.
John and Frances (Beezon) Baynes had five children : John

John Beezon Baynes, the eldest son, inherited "Wood Hall
Park," on the death of his mother, and on his marriage with
Miriam, daughter of Thomas Priestman, "yeoman," of " Dur-
ruddun," Cumberland, England (in some family papers it is
written " Dearrudding, in the Parish of Greystock, in the county
of Cumberland " ), he took her there to live. He sold the
property in 18 1 8 to Christopher Alderson Alderson, and moved
with his family to America. They at first settled in Wilmington,
Del., but his sons afterward removed to Baltimore, Md., where
they engaged successfully in business, and were prominent mem-
bers of the Society of Friends in that city. They had : Beezon,

of Thomas and Hannah Priestman before mentioned. (In 17 13

near vicinity of " Wood Hall Park." Here he was occupied in

sheep-raising and cheese-making, the moorlands being especially
adapted for the pasture of sheep, while the Stilton cheese is still
one of the products of the diaries as it was a hundred years ago
and more. In 1822 James Baynes, following the example of his
elder brother, sold the place that had been so long in the posses-
sion of his mother's family, and came to Pennsylvania. He
brought with him his wife and their nine children, and after
various removals the)- at last arrived in Tredyffrin Township.
They rented a farm belonging to Charles Greaves, and here his
daughter Mary became acquainted with their neighbor, Thomas
R. Walker, whom she afterwards married. This farm was origin-
all\- owned bv Lewis Walker, who gave it to his eldest son
Daniel, on his marriage in 171 5. It is now owned by David
Abraham.

James Baynes' children were : — Hannah, born 1 804, died
1839, married John Brookes; John, born 1805, died 1827,
buried at Chester, Penna.; Frances, born 1807, died 1830, buried

1 82 1, died 1862, buried at Plymouth, Penna.

James Baynes and his wife died at Plymouth, Penna, and
both are buried in the Friends' Graveyard at that place.

Thomas R. and [Nlary Baynes Walker were married at a
public meeting at the Valley meeting-house, and this was the last
wedding that ever took place there. After that it became
fashionable to marry at the home of the bride. They went first
to live at " Belhvood Farm," farming for a cousin, Jane W.

Cleaver, and living in part of the house, but before the year ended
a farm was bought for them at Whitpain, Montgomery County,
Penna., to which place they moved and where they remained for
several years, until about the year 1853, when Joseph Walker,
the father of Thomas R. Walker, purchased the Greaves property,
before mentioned as being the home of James Baynes, and here
the family removed, and here they resided until, on the death of
Mary B. Walker, the property was sold to settle up the estate.
On the marriage of their eldest son, Isaac, in the year 1873, a
new house was built for him on the top of the hill, a hill which
gave the name of " Prospect Farm," to the place, in which house
he lived, managing affairs for his father, who was a helpless
invalid for years before his death, being afflicted with rheumatic
gout.-

Thomas R. Walker was esteemed by all who knew him. He
had the strong, independent character that corresponded with his
commanding height. He was over six feet tall, of an obliging dis-
position, hospitably inclined, and with a mind that might have
achieved distinction had he entered one of the professions. He
valued education above all things, and gave his children the
advantage of good schools. He had had a good education himself,
having been a pupil of Joseph Foulke, and was gifted with an
excellent memory. He was a good mathematician, and assisted
his children in this branch of their studies particularly, being
' able to work out a difficult problem in his mind during the
nights when he could not sleep for pain, and have it ready to
explain to them in the morning. For many years a literar}''
society was held every alternate week at his house and that of
his neighbor and kinsman, Havard Walker, which gave a taste for
reading and study to the whole neighborhood, and raised the
tone of society generally. In all his enterprises he was assisted
by his wife, they being singularly congenial in their tastes.

They were both Elders of Radnor Monthly Meeting. Though
they were consistent Friends, they were not bounded by any
creed. The house in which they lived for so many years of
their married life was the oldest and plainest in the Valley, yet
there was none that contained a happier, more united family, and
the children that grew and thrived therein look upon it, even
now, with a reverence hard to understand for the present gen-
eration. They feel that the blessing of a father and mother such
as theirs cannot be overestimated.

Sarah S., daughter of Joseph and Eleanor (Stephens) Davis.
Joseph Davis was descended from the Radnor family of that
name that came originally from Wales and settled there.
According to " Notes and Queries" in the Pennsylvania Maga-
zine, I find there were three brothers of this name among
the early settlers, William, of Radnor, Thomas, of Tredyffrin,
and Llewellin Davis.* Sarah S. (Davis) Walker thinks she is
descended from William, of Radnor, because that is a family
name and she knows that her grandparents are buried in the
Radnor Meeting Graveyard.

The Davis family, though numerous and very respectable, can
only go back to Joseph, of Willistown Township, Chester County,
the great-grandfather of Sarah, whose son Mordecai lived at the
Waterloo Mills, in Eastown Township, Chester County. This
property belonged to the wife of Mordecai, who, with her sister,
owned it. Mordecai bought the sister's share, and it remained
in the family until recently, when at the death of John Davis,
the son of Mordecai, it was sold. Mordecai Davis and his wife
are buried at Radnor. In 1821 they bought a farm in Tredyffrin
for their other son, Joseph, who came there to live. This
property was originally owned by Thomas Waters, who gave it
to his daughter on her marriage with Colonel Dewees. On the
death of Mrs. Dewees, her son Waters Dewees inherited it, who
sold it to Mordecai Davis.

When the Hessian troops passed through the Valley, Colonel
Dewees hid his valuables in various places, thinking in this

* Llewellin Davis had two sons, Isaac and Llewellin. Isaac was the father of General
John Davis, of Howellville, Chester County, Penna., who has a son, Major Charles L.
Davis, U. S. Army.

manner to save his gold and silver, though he could not keep
his cattle from the marauders. A bag of gold coin was hurriedly-
hidden under the smoke house, and would have escaped detec-
tion had not a hen, fleeing before a pursuing soldier, taken refuge
there also, and the man, following, found the precious treasure,
which he carried off exultingly, blessing the happy accident that
procured him so much riches.

The Dewees house was well built and in a good situation,
much the same as it is at the present day. During the occupa-
tion of Valley Forge by Washington's troops, this house was the
headquarters of General Mifflin. Mrs. Dewees resided here after
her husband's death and died here.

Joseph Davis, the new owner, married Eleanor, daughter of
Stephen and Sarah (MacVeagh) Stephens (see No. 267), and
here they lived the rest of their lives, and on the death of Joseph
Davis, a few years ago, the property went to their only son,
Mordecai, who with his family now occupy it. The three chil-
dren of Joseph Davis married descendants of Lewis Walker.
Sarah, as before stated, marr\^ing Moses Walker ; Susan, the
second daughter, married Lewis Walker (No. 676), and Mordecai
married Hannah Mary Beidler (No. 1530).

Joseph Davis was a preacher in the Valley Meeting, and was
much beloved and respected. His second wife, Elizabeth Peart,
a widow, was also a preacher, and a gifted one. He is buried in
the Valley Graveyard with both his wives.

Moses Walker and his wife went to live on a farm which he
had purchased from the estate of James Barry, which land lies
near and overlooks the Schuylkill River near Merion Station on
the Readincr Railrod. Here thev resided until the death of
Moses Walker. The property is now owned by his widow, who
lives here with her only remaining child, whose husband William
Ramsey farms the place. Moses and Sarah S. (Davis) Walker
had three children :

about twenty years ago, and went to Downingtown, Penna., where
their two surviving sons still live.

Joseph Walker, the youngest son of Joseph and Priscilla
Walker, lived at the homestead with his father and sister Mary
until the death of Joseph Walker, when he inherited the property
according to the conditions of his father's will. After his mar-
riage he made some slight improvements at " Rehobeth," and

house in which he first saw the light, and delights in tales of
"auld lang syne."

Ellen L. Walker died very suddenly of pneumonia, December
31st, 1889. She was generous and warm hearted, always ready
to assist her neighbors in distress and to join them in their

daughter of William and Ann (Wager) Potts, of Plymouth,
Montgomery County, Penna. Martha (Potts) Walker died
January 2d, 1894.

William Potts was descended from David and Alice Potts,
early settlers of Pennsylvania, whose son Nathan, the youngest

of ten children, born probably 1710, married Hester , and

had a son Zebulon, born 1746, who married Martha, daughter
of Joseph and Ann Trotter, and died March 17th, 1801.

Zebulon Potts was a notable man of Plymouth Township.
In 1 774 he was appointed constable. He was an ardent Whig,
and the British, receiving information, through the medium of
spies, of his active opposition to their cause, sent out parties on
several occasions to capture him. Once they were almost suc-
cessful. In 1777 he was appointed one of the Justices of the
Court of Quarter Sessions and Common Pleas. In the Assessors'
list of 1780 he is represented as having 100 acres of land, five
horses, three cows, and "an aged mother to support." In Octo-
ber, 1784, he was elected the first sheriff in Montgomery County.
He died at Harrisburg, Penna., while he was State Senator.
(See History of Montgomery County.) His son William was
with him in his last sickness and brought his body home.

Among other children Zebulon Potts had William, born 1787,
died 1 88 1, who married Ann, daughter of Jesse Wager or
Wicherline, who lived on a small, well-kept, and valuable farm

on the banks of the Schuylkill River, near Conshohocken, Penna.
This farm became his by inheritance when he was t^vo years
old, at which time he went there to live, and was never farther
away from it than to Philadelphia in his long life time. His
sister, EHzabeth, was grandmother to the American novelist,
James Fenimore Cooper.

Havard and Martha P. Walker lived on the farm and in the
house where Havard was bom, and here they celebrated their
Golden Wedding, in the winter of 1890. He, with his tvvo
daughters, still live there and farm the place, assisted by his only
grandson. Although he is past four-score, he is still compara-
tively hale and hearty, and is interested in all public affairs relat-
ing to his native count}'. For years he has been a director
of the public schools, and there is no man so well known by the
younger generation of Chester Count}^ The eldest daughter is
a woman of remarkable intelligence, and has wielded an immense
amount of influence for good in the locality. In her own little
circle she is an authority on all things mental and moral. Had
she devoted herself to literature, instead of doing the duty that
lay nearest to her, she might have achieved a national reputation.

The Cowgill family, consisting of Ellen, her daughter Jane
and three sons, Thomas, Ezekiel and John, came to Pennsylvania
with William Penn, on the ship " Welcome," in 1682. They
settled in Kent County, Del.

From " Pennsylvania Archives," 2d Series, Vol. XIX. :
" 171 5. John Cowgill desires the grant of about 100 acres of
land joining on his other tract, near the branches of Duck Creek,
in the County of New Castle, where he had planted a tan yard,
at id. an acre rent."

Henry Cowgill, "son of John," of Kent County, Del., is
supposed to be the son of John, the tanner and emigrant. In
the Record Book of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting it is recorded
that Henr>' Cowgill married Alice, daughter of Josiah Pain, of
Nottingham, Chester County, Penna,, on the 4th day of istmo.,
1742. My correspondent, Ella V. (Walker) Conard, has a copy
of the marriage certificate. John, a son of Henry and Alice,

He married, nth mo. 12th, 1772, Catherine (bom 3d mo. 26th,
1754), daughter of WiUiam and Hannah Shephard, of Notting-
ham, Chester Count)'. John and Catherine Cowgill went to
Virginia, taking with them their certificate from Deer Creek
Monthly Meeting, dated 7th mo. 3d, 1775, to Hopewell Monthly
Meeting in Virginia. Among the children born to them was
William, who married Eliza Coates, aforementioned.

The Cowgill family is supposed to have come from the north
of England. The Virginia Cowgills were people of means and
lived in good style. A member of the family writing from Dela-
ware says she remembers hearing her father tell of a visit his
great-aunt Cowgill paid them when he was a boy. She came
from Virginia to their Delaware home in her handsome chaise
drawn by a pair of fine horses with a dignified negro man as
driver, a mode of travel which much impressed the boy. Eze-
kiel Cowgill, the emigrant, went to Virginia, and has descendants
still living there. The editor of Tlic Kansas Fanner is a
descendant of Ellen Cowgill.

On the death of William Cowgill his wife came to live in
Pennsylvania, among her mother's relations, and here David
W^alker made the acquintance of her daughter Hannah, who is
said to have been ver}' beautiful. They were married, loth mo.
27th, 1 84 1, and went to live on a farm purchased by David
Walker from Dewalt Beaver, in Tredyffrin, not far from his old
home. This land was originally a part of John Kinsey's pur-
chase, and was sold by him to John Beaver, which family retained
possession of it until it was sold to David Walker. Some years
ago the old Beaver house was partly torn down and remodeled
as it is now. Hannah, the wife of David Walker, died some
years before her husband, and both are buried in the Valley
Graveyard. They had four children :

2 68 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

No. 670. Sarah Roberts^ (Mary,^ Isaac/ Joseph,^ Isaac,-
Lewis ^), born in Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Penna.,
died 1895, married, April 12th, 1833, John Williams, of
Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Penna. He was a
descendant of Lewis Williams, who, it is said, came to America
on the same ship with Lewis Walker, in 1686-7. Tradition is
that they were cousins, but all proofs of relationship were
destroyed b}- a fire that occurred in the Williams family about
the year 1820. He married Lettice, daughter of James Parry
of Tredyffrin, who came over on the same ship with her future
husband. Lewis Williams was one of the original members of
the Great Valley Baptist Church, joined " by letter from Wales."
His wife's father was a Presbyterian, and her brother John gave
the ground where the Great Valley Presbyterian Church now
stands. Elizabeth Parr}^, her sister, married James David or
Davis, who gave the land for the erection of the Baptist Church
in the great Valley.

Lewis and Lettice (Parry) Williams had three sons, Joseph,
John, and James, who lived in Whiteland, Chester County, until
after their father's death in 1735, when they went to Charlestown
Township, and settled there in 1744. Joseph Williams was part
owner of the old Valley Forge in 175 i, being in partnership
with Stephen Evans and Daniel Walker. (See No. 2.) John
Williams, his brother, a weaver, was a member of the Great
Valley Baptist Church " by baptism." In 1726, Lewis Williams
with his family and some other members of this church with-
drew from it and founded the Seventh Day Baptist Church at
French Creek. In 1770, John Williams was a deacon at Vincent
Baptist Church. He was hving in 1793. His son David also
lived to be over ninety. John married Mary , about 1720.

John and Sarah (Roberts) Williams resided all their married

Roberts built a home on a part of the Havard tract which came
to her by inheritance, and here they lived for almost fifty years
together. He was a public-spirited man, and frequently held

Epping, New Hampshire, October 15th, 1809, died in Phila-
delphia, April 5th, 1883.

SIXTH GENERATION. 277

Tristram Coffin Colket was the son of Peter and Phoebe
(Hamilton) Colcord. At an early age he left his New P^ngland
home and came to Pennsylvania, where he changed the spelling
of his name to Colket. , The reason he gave for this change
was because it was pronounced by his associates as if it were
written Colket. In the old New England records, we find the
name has been written in a variety of ways : — Colcord, Colcorde,
Collcord, Colcot, Colcote, Colcott, Colker, Colcutt, Colkit, Col-
ket, Colkett, Calcott, etc.

The earliest New England ancestor of this family was Edward
Colcord, who was born in England 1616- ly, died in 1685,
(probably) came to America 1631-33, settling in New Hamp-
shire. Another ancestor is Tristram Coffin, born 1609, ^^^^
1 68 1, who came to New England in 1642.

From "New England Genealogical Register," Vol. 2, p.
336 : " Peter and Joanna Coffin had a son Tristram (which
signifies sorrowful), born in Plymouth, England, who married
Dionis Stevens, and came to New England 1642, with his
mother, two sisters, Eunice and Mary Coffin, and five children
of their own : I. Tristram, Jr., II. Peter, III. Elizabeth, IV.
James, V. John. He, with Thomas Macy, Christopher Hussey,
and others bought Nantucket Island and settled there."

The Coffins of New England claim descent from Sir Richard
Coffyn, who came to England with William the Conqueror.

Tristram Coffin Colket came to Philadelphia poor and
unknown, and by his own exertions and foresight succeeded in
amassing a large fortune. He was interested in no less than
thirty-eight corporations at different times and in various capa-
cities, some of which are as follows : — Director of the Central
R. R. of New Jersey ; the Morris Canal Co. ; Tioga Improve-
ment Co. ; North Penn. R. R. ; Penn Township Bank ; Citizens'
Pass. Railway Co. ; City Bank ; Northern Saving Fund ; Presi-

Isaac, ^ Lewis '), of Philadelphia, married Emily Hayman, daughter
of Colonel Holstien, of Upper Merion, Montgomery County,
Penna. William B. Thomas was engaged in the manufacture of
flour, owning and operating large mills in Philadelphia and the
Gulph. He was Colonel of Volunteers during the Civil War,
recruiting and commanding the ig2d Penna. Regt. This regi-
ment was organized July, 1864, at the time General Lee made
his raid into Pennsylvania. Among the soldiers composing it
were many youths, out of school, several of them being descend-
ants of Lewis Walker. They marched to meet the invader, but
happily the southern troops were checked before their arrival,
much to the disappointment of many of the young soldiers, who
were burning with patriotism and anxious to undergo their
baptism of fire. They were in no engagements, but were used
principally for guard duty at Fort McHenry, Johnson's Island,
and Gallipolis, Ohio. At the end of their four months' enlist-
ment, they returned to their homes, in time, for those who had
a vote, to cast it for Abraham Lincoln. Colonel Thomas also
commanded a regiment of militia in the invasion of the State the
previous year.

Edward B. Conard is grandson of Dennis Conard, who \\-as
descended from Tennis Konnard, one of the early settlers oi
Germantown, Penna., who came to America with Daniel Pastorius.
The first religious meeting of the Germantown Quakers was held
at the house of Tennis Konnard, 1683.

From The Friend: " Dennis Conard, or Cunard, as the name
was often spelled in early times, was born at Cresheim, in Ger-
many, where he was convinced of the principles of truth by
William Ames, in or about the year 1657. He came among the
first Germans to Pennsylvania, and settled at Germantown, where
the first meetings for worship of Friends were held at his house.
He was esteemed in religious society and often employed in its
affairs. ' He was,' says T. Chalkley, ' a man of an inoffensive
life, much given to hospitality, and left a good report behind
him. He lived to a great age, dying about the close of the 9th
mo., 1729. The meeting held at the time of his death was large,
many of the early settlers of that part of Pennsylvania attending
it.' "

In the " Pennsylvania Archives," 2d series, Volume XIX,
we read that " Dennis Konders, of Germantown, Dyer, having in
a petition to the Proprietor, dated, 15 of 8br, 1 701, exhibited that
he, having purchased 500 Acres, had taken up but 225, and begs

Journal kept by Isaac Richards from Valley Forge, Chester
County, Penna., to Buffalo, N. Y.

Chester Co. Penn., nth Mo., 2nd. 1824. Began our journey from
the Valley Forge, Chester Co., Penn., to Buffalo, in the State of New
York. Crossed the Schuylkill at Long Ford, passed the Trappe, and
crossed Perkiomen at Mill and lodged at Gerhart's Tavern, where we
were well entertained. Distance, 24 miles.

3rd. Began our journey early this morning and crossed a branch of
the Perkiomen, passed through Charlestown and Quakertown and
crossed the Lehigh. Thence through Bethlehem, and lodged at Dris-
hack's Tavern, five miles from Bethlehem ; poor entertainment, with a
greasy landlady. Distance, 28 miles.

4th. Proceeded on our journey early this morning, passed through
New Town and Nazareth. Thence through Shawney Town and
Jacobsburgh and crossed the Blue Mountains at Hellers. Jesse
Roberts, Jacob W. Richards and myself climbed to the top where we
had a fine prospect of the surrounding country and fired our pieces to
the surrounding hills, but we were none the better for that as we had a
walk of nine miles before we overtook the rest of our company. So
much for our fun. We lodged at John Stom's tavern where we were a
little Yankeed. Distance, 26 miles.

5th. Started early this morning on our journey, but we had not
proceeded above three miles when we were forced to put up on account
of the rain. Stopped at Eddinger's Tavern, about eight o'clock.
The rain having subsided we started about two o'clock, although we
had several showers in the afternoon. We crossed the Pocano Moun-
tains and barrens and lodged at Thomas' Tavern, in the edge of the
Beech woods where we were well entertained. Distance, 12 miles.

6th. Started early this morning, having to pass through the Beech
woods, a distance of 12 miles, with but one house the whole distance,

and a wild looking place it is for a person to pass through that has
never travelled any before. We crossed the Lackawaxen and one of its
branches and lodged at Swingle's Tavern, where we were well enter-
tained. Distance, 27 miles.

8th. We proceeded on our journey early this morning, eager to
arrive at Uncle D. Richards (No. 65). We passed through the moun-
tains, the County town of Susquehanna County, and arrived in the
evening about seven o'clock, at Uncle D. Richards. Glad to get a
little rest. Distance, 27 miles.

9th. We stayed there and hunted, viewed the hills of the Susfjue-
hanna County, but found nothing very enticing. The iith, alter
refreshing ourselves with two days rest and replenishing our provisions,
we pursued our journey over the hills of the Susquehanna County,
about 12 miles when we crossed the line into the State of New V'ork.
Crossed the North Branch of the Susquehanna at Oswego, a flourishing
village, where we lodged at Manning's Inn. Well entertained. Dis-
tance to-day, 20 miles.

1 2th. Took an early start this morning over a middling level road,
though the late rains had made it very heavy travelling. The land
appears to be better than any we have seen since we crossed the Blue
Mountains. White oak and chestnut oak begin to make their appear-
ance in considerable quantities to-day, though we saw some few of
them yesterday. Hemlock is beginning to disappear very fast,
although it has been our constant companion for upwards of one hun-
dred miles. The streams are clear on this side of the riv<;r, but on
the other side they are dyed by the hemlock, through which they pass.
Lodged at Smith's Inn, where we were well entertained. Distance,
25 miles.

13th. Started this morning, having a very rough road, it having
froze very hard last night and being soft the day before, has made the
road extremely rough. We passed through Ithaca, a flourishing village,
at the head of Cayuga Lake. The land appears very fine in this place.
The wood is principally sugar maple, beech, pine, the different kinds
of oak, with some hickory. We had a fine sight of the lake after we
had passed the town a mile or so. J. Roberts, J. Richards and I went

down within a few miles of it when we discovered an immense number
of wild ducks ; a fine shot, but we had no guns with us, and were
forced to leave them behind, and march back, not well pleased that
we had not an opportunity of discharging our pieces at them, at least
once. We passed through Trumansville, and lodged at Thomas's
Tavern. A Pennsylvanian from Philadelphia, good entertainment.
Distance, 20 miles.

14th. Started early this morning on our journey over a very rough
road. Passed through a very fine, level country, apple and peach
orchards appear to be numerous. A great deal of the former fruit is
not yet gathered in. We passed through Farmersville and Ovid village
but were forced to put up about three o'clock in the afternoon. We
stopped at Depue's Inn, where we were well entertained. Distance,
20 miles.

15th. We took an early start this morning though it still continued
to rain a little. The country is about the same character as that we
passed through yesterday. We were forced to lay by from about 11
o'clock this morning until 3 in the afternoon. We stopped at Hen-
gan's Inn, a Dutch Yankee, for he Yankeed us. The rain having
abated, we went on and lodged at Teel's Inn, on the shore of Seneca
Lake, where we were well entertained. Distance, 13 miles.

1 6th. We started this morning through the mud. Passed through
Geneva, situated on the North-west side of Seneca Lake, near the out-
let of the same. Then we passed Canandaigua Lake and thence along
the shores of the same for about ^ of a mile. We passed through the
town of tlie same name, a very flourishing place, two miles beyond
that we lodged at Wilder' s Inn. Good entertainment. Distance,
20 miles.

17th. We took an early start this morning, and passed through
East and West Bloomfield. The land is now becominsf more hillv the
farther we advance. Plenty of mud to-day. Fruit is still plenty.
We lodged at Osburn's Inn, in the village of Owen. Distance 20
miles.

1 8th. Left our lodging early this morning, the mud having frozen
last night made the roads very rough. We crossed the Genesee River,

passed through Caledonia. I'he land is becoming more hilly with
several veins of limestone running through it. We pxssed through
La Roy, and lodged at Reynolds' Inn, where we were well entcrlaiucd.
Distance 19 miles.

19th. Took a middling early start this morning. The road is still
getting worse the farther we proceed. We pa.ssed through Hatavia, a
very flourishing place. The country is not so fertile as it has been.
We lodged at Goffs tavern. Distance 17 miles.

20th. Left lodgings early this morning and proceeded over a rough
road. The mud still continues very deep. We arrived late in the
evening at Williamsville, where we lodged. Distance 19 miles.

2ist. Started this morning at sunrise, the road still about the same.
Passed through Buffalo, a very flourishing village, situated on Buffalo
Creek and Lake Erie. Crossed the Creek and lodged at the beach of
Lake Erie, at Salisbury's Inn. Poor accommodations. Distance 14
miles.

22nd. Proceeded this morning along the shore of Lake Erie the
distance of 4 miles. Travelling on the beach is both difficult and
tedious. The sand is so deep and loose that it fatigues our horses
more than the mud. We lodged at Tubs Hollow at Hunt's Tavern.
Distance, 14 miles.

23rd. Started early this morning eager to arrive at our journey's
end. The road is extremely bad in some places. We were up to the
wagon bed in mud, with rain. We arrived at J. Taylor's about 3
o'clock, P. M. on the 23rd of the nth Mo., 1824. Distance to-day,
12 miles.

After staying here five days and viewing the country, which we did
not find so good as represented to us, we therefore resolved after travel-
ling 400 miles to steer to some other point. We left Taylor's on the
28th, for the State of Ohio. We crossed Clear Creek, thence through
the Indian settlement. The land appears to be very fertile, great
numbers of horses and cattle are feeding on the prairies. But few of
the Indians attend to much farming. We crossed Cattaraugus Creek,
and lodged at Howar's Tavern, where we were well entertained. Dis-
tance, 14 miles.

380 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

road getting better, it not having rained since we left Taylor's. We
lodged at Lyon's Tavern. Good fare. Distance 17 miles.

2nd. Left our lodgings early this morning and passed through the
town of Erie. Not a very populous place considering the time since
it was laid out. We lodged at Huston's, a house of entertainment on
the turnpike leading from Erie to Pittsburg. Well entertained. Dis-
tance 14 miles.

3rd. It being a rainy morning, we did not start until late. The
road very muddy. We arrived in the evening at Waterford, where we
put up at King's Tavern, and were well enteatained. Distance, 14
miles.

4th. Started this morning early, crossed French Creek at the
outlet of Labreuf Lake. Lodged at Keepler's place, nothing to brag
of. Distance 14 miles.

5 th. Started this morning early. The snow fell last night to the
depth of about 2 inches. The road very bad, the day very cold, we
traveled 8 miles, when we arrived at Meadville and put up at Hurst's
Inn. In this place we tho't of putting up for the winter at least, but
were not all agreed. We stayed here until the 7th, when we again
turned out on the road. We arrived at Georgetown, put up at Dunn's
tavern, good fare. Distance 15 miles.

8th. Took an early start this morning, the day cold and the road
very rough. We arrived at Mercer, the county town of Mercer
County, where we put up at Herrington's Tavern. Not very good fare.

9th. Took an early start this morning, very cold ; we passed
through some very poor looking country, for about ten miles and then
it began to grow better. We lodged at Hunter's, a private house,

The parties referred to in this journal consisted of Samuel Richards
and his wife Ann W. Richards, and their seven children, with their
nephew, Jesse Roberts, of Lower Merion Township, Montgomery
County, Penna. Their names and ages at the time of the journey as
follows, viz . :

Samuel Richards, age 46.

Ann Richards, age 46.

They traveled with a four horse team loaded with their household
goods, consisting of beds, bedding and personal clothing in trunks,
chests, &c., and such cooking utensils as were necessary to cook the
provisions on the journey, together with three shot guns, or smooth
bore rifles. Our mother and Ann rode in the wagon on a seat fixed
for them. The rest of the children had seats when they wanted to
ride, but made most of the journey on foot. When the roads were
good and walking could be dispensed with, the four boys would mount
the horses and the rest take seats in the wagon and we could make
time faster, but this was seldom the case. The writer was the youngest
of the boys, and he has a very distinct recollection of the journey.
Many times he felt tired and foot sore from the walking he had to do
during the trip. It was fifty-five years, last December, when the jour-
ney was closed, and all the parties comprising the company have gone
to their long home except the two last mentioned in the above list.

The Wardens ami Vestrymen of St. David's Church.

Gen TLEMEN :

Age and infirmity having rendered me unable to officiate any
longer, I take this method to let you know that I shall decline attend-
ing your church any more, but though Providence has so ordered that
I can serve you no more in public, yet God forbid that I should cease
to pray for you in private. No, as I have taken the best care 1 was
able under an infirm state of health to shew you a good and right way,
so while I breathe I will not cease to pray that God may give you his
Grace to enable you to walk in it. And as I shall not cease to pray
for you, I beseech you, neglect not to pray for yourselves.

Prayer is at all times your duty, but more especially in troublesome
times. When deprived of the church, make use of the closet, and then
pour out your complaints to him who seeth in secret and will in his
own good time reward you openly.

A devout man, though he has but his chamber to retire to, and his
doors be shut upon him, yet he lives as it were in Goshen. When
flashes of judgment burst upon other persons, 'tis calm in the prayer
room ; when the destroying Angel had overrun every house in Egypt
with death, when there was nothing but carcasses and crying in each
dwelling, there was not one Shriek in all the Land of Goshen. When
a thick darkness dwelt upon the nation, the praying Israelites had light
in all their dwellings, and when sad, dark clouds sit, as it were, on
God's countenance, and pours down Inundations of Tempests upon a
carhless, lukewarm and backsliding people, yet even then his face
shines in the Closets of Devotion there he breaks in and reveals his
comforts as is so there as his Angel was at that time a Pillar of light to

Rees Thomas and Martha Awbrey, Early Settlers in Merion.

by george vaux.

Rees Thomas and Martha Awbrey seem to have arrived in America
late in the year 1691, both being passengers in the same vessel with a
large number of other persons, members of the Society of Friends.
They were engaged to be married prior to their departure from Eng-
land. Rees Thomas appears to have been a native of Monmouthshire,
a district closely bordering on Wales. The certificate furnished him
by the Friends of Chepstow (a town not far from Bristol, from which
emigrant vessels frequently sailed) testifies that he "had been very
serviceable upon the account of truth in all honest designs," and " one
that walked according to the order of truth from his first convince-
ment," And also that he was " of a meek and quiet disposition and
well beloved of all sort, [and] descended of a good family. ' '

Martha Awbrey was descended from an ancient Welsh family,
which, for many generations, had been seated in Brecknockshire.
The pedigree of the family is preserved in an ancient roll or chart,
dated 1633, in the hands of an English descendant. The chart also
contains pedigrees of various families allied by marriage to the Awbreys,
together with designs of coats of arms, about sixty in all. The Awbrey
pedigree traces descent from Saunders de St. Awbrey, brother of Lord
St. Awbrey, Lord Marshal of France and Earl of Boulogne, who came
into England in 1066. The name seems to have been Teutonic, and

formerly Alberic or The White King. Sir Reginald Awbrey,

knight, son of the former, " came to the conquest of Brecknockshire
with Bernard Newmarke in 1092, by whom he was granted the manors
of Aberkynfrig and Shvch " (Slough).

From Sir Reginald the descent of the family property is traced
through twelve names, most of which represent generations, to Richard
Awbrey, of Aberkynfrig, who died in 1580, having previously sold

386 GENEALOGY OF THE WALKER FAMILY.

the ancient seat of the family at that place. His son, Richard Awbrey,
married Anne, daughter of William Vaughan, and in right of his wife
became Lord of the Manor of Llanelyw. He died in 1646, and was
buried under the floor of the chancel of the church of Llanelyw. His
grave is covered with a flat tombstone, forming part of the pavement,
which has upon it the following inscription :

" Here lyeth the body of Richard Awbrey of Llanelyw Gent, who
married Anne Vaughan daughter to William Vaughan of Llanelyw,
who had issue William, Richard, Thomas, John, Theophilus and
Elizabeth. Died the 23 day of September 1646."

The combined arms of the Awbrey and Vaughan families are also
carved on the stone, and the inscription, as far as it precedes the state-
ment of issue, runs around the four sides of the tablet, beginning at
the top, and terminating at the upper end of the left-hand side.

Richard Awbrey (the second) had several children, as above stated,
of whom William, the eldest, and Thomas, the third son, as well as
their father, were Puritans and Parliamentarians. The second son,
Richard (the third) was an adherent of the king, and a clergyman,
being vicar of Boughrod in Radnorshire. William had no son, and
the Llanelyw estate being entailed the heir to it was the second brother,
Richard. In order to keep the property in the hands of the descend-
ants of Puritan stock, William, finding his death likely to be near,
hastily married his only daughter, Elizabeth, to her first cousin,
William, the eldest son of his brother Thomas, both of them being
under age. This was in 1646, about a year before his decease, and
by his will he sought to place his son-in-law in the position of a son
of his own. Richard, the clerical brother and heir in tail, instituted
legal proceedings to recover the property, but the matter was finally
settled by arbitration, apparently in such a way that the youthful
couple, William and Elizabeth Awbrey, were able to retain the Llane-
lyw estate.

It is probable that William Awbrey was a member of the Society
of Friends. It is certain that his sons, Richard and William (the
latter of whom married Letitia Penn for his second wife), and his
daughter Martha, belonged to that religious denomination. He had

APPENDIX. 387

ten children by his wife Elizabeth. He died in 17 16, aged ninety,
and was buried in Llanelyw churchyard, where is still to be seen an
altar-tomb erected over his remains, with the following inscription :

"Here lyeth the body of William Awbrey of Llanelyw, Son of
Thomas Awbrey Gent. Married Elizabeth daughter of William
Awbrey. Had issue Ten. Richard, William, 2 Thomas, Theophilus,
Anne, Mary, 2 Martha and Elizabeth. Departed this life in Hope of a
Joyful Resurrection, the 16 of December 1716, aged 90."

The figures 2 before the names Thomas and Martha indicate that
there were two children of these names. There are tombstone inscrip-
tions at Llanelyw, showing that the first Martha died in 1662, and the
first Thomas in 1669.

Rees Thomas settled in Merion, where he acquired a considerable
body of land, upon part of which the present villages of Bryn Mawr
and Rosemont stand. He was married to Martha Awbrey at Haver-
ford, on the 1 8th of the Fourth Month, 1692. The phraseology of
the marriage certificate evidently presents the very words used by the
parties when taking each other in marriage. The following extract is
given :

"The said Rees Thomas solemnly declared, friends I am standing
here in the presence of God and before you I do take Martha Awbrey
to be my wedded wife and by God's assistance do promise to be true
and loving and faithful unto her and to behave myself unto her as
becomes a man to behave himself towards his wife so as to continue
till death part us. In like manner the said Martha said, I am here in
the presence of God and before you I also take Rees Thomas to be
my husband and I do promise to love him and make much of him till
death part us. ' '

A few years after their marriage, Rees and Martha Thomas wrote
jointly to her aged father. The original of this letter is still preserved
in the hand of a descendant. It is dated, " Ye 29th day of ye 2d Mo
1695," and is addressed, " Most dear & tender Father." The follow-
ing extracts will be found interesting, the original spelling being
preserved :

" I had about 16 score bushels of wheat this year. I have 15 heds

In addition to the two children named in the foregoing letter,
Rees and Martha Thomas had a third son, William. Of these, Rees
and William left descendants. Awbrey visited England and married
Gulielma, the only daughter of William Penn, Jr., and granddaughter
of the Founder. He did not long survive his marriage, and died with-
out issue, probably in England.

Rees Thomas survived his wife a number of years. Martha died
in 1726. After her death a small book was published by S. Keimer,
entitled, "A collection of Elegiac Poems devoted to the Memory of
the late virtuous and excellent Matron and worthy Elder in the Church
of Christ of the Society of Friends Martha Thomas, late wife of Rees
Thomas of Merion of the County of Philadelphia in the Province of
Pennsylvania and Daughter of William Awbrey of Llanelieu in the
County of Brecknock in Great Britain who departed this life the 7th
of i2th Mo. 1726-7."

A modern edition of the same, bearing the above title, was printed
by Lydia R. Bailey, Philadelphia, 1837.
