JAMES CLAYPOOLE, son of John and Mary (Angell) Claypoole, was born ac- cording to his own statement in the month of October, 1634. In 1677 he was a merchant at Bush Lane, Scots Yard, London, and a member of the Friends' Meeting at the Bull and Mouth. He does not seem to have married, however, "according to the good order maintained among Friends," as he records in his own hand the fact that he was married in Bremen, Germany, on February 12, 1657-58, by Conradus Selius, a Calvin minister, to Helena Merces. Evidently a successful merchant of considerable means, and on intimate terms with William Penn, and other well-to-do and influential Friends, his attention was directed to the colony of Pennsylvania, quite as much, as a field for commercial enterprise as an asylum from religious persecution. He was one of the organizers of the Free Society of Traders, who purchased large tracts of land in Pennsylvania, and to whom William Penn granted manorial rights, in a very elaborate and liberal fran- chise. James Claypoole was secretary of the company, and also treasurer, and one of committee of twelve named at the meeting of the society in London, on May 29, 1682, who were to reside in Pennsylvania. Nicholas Moore was named as president, and John Simcock, later Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, deputy presi- dent. The committee of twelve, exclusive of the officers who were to reside in Pennsylvania, were: Thomas Brassey, Robert Turner, Thomas Holme, John Bezer, Francis Plumstead, Griffith Jones, Anthony Elton, James Harrison, John Blunston, Isaac Martin, Walter King, William Haige.

While many thousands of acres were actually laid out to the Society of Free Traders, in Philadelphia, Chester and Bucks counties, little of it was ever settled while owned by them, the tendency of the early settlers being toward individual ownership, under the easy terms offered by Penn, and the society closed out and their land was sold by trustees selected for that purpose in 1724.

James Claypoole purchased five thousand acres, to be laid out in Pennsylvania in his own right, and on December 16, 1681, writes to his brother, Edward, stating this fact, and adds, "I have some thought of sending one of my sons over with some servants and a little stock, to build a house and get cattle and corne, etc. * and I shall want some advice how to improve the land." One thousand acres of this purchase of five thousand acres was laid out to James Claypoole on the Neshaminy, in Warrington township, Bucks county; one thousand acres or more on the west side of the Schuylkill, at the present site of Manayunk, and his "Town Lot" was on the Delaware river front, near the mouth of Dock creek, ad- joining that of Samuel Carpenter, another wealthy pioneer merchant of the infant city, who like James Claypoole was destined to take a prominent part in the affairs of the province, as well as to aid materially in establishing the commercial su- premacy of the city of Philadelphia over that of any other port in the America colonies.

James Claypoole carried out his intention, expressed in his quoted letter, of "sending one of his sons over, with servants, etc.," as his eldest son, John Clay-

1446

CLAYPOOLE

poole, sailed from the Downs, April 23, 1682, in the "Amity," with Captain Thomas Holme, whom William Penn had made one of his Commissioners of the Province and his Surveyor-General, John Claypoole, accompanying Holme as his assistant and clerk. Under his father's directions he did build a house on the lot on the "Banks," Front street, Philadelphia, which on the arrival of James Claypoole, with his wife and seven remaining children, in the "Concord," October 8, 1683, he writes to friends in England, "is 40 feet long by 20 broad and without a chimney." He proceeded at once to erect the much needed chimney and a fur- ther addition to his house and took up his home therein. He also erected a wharf and storehouse and engaged extensively in the shipping trade, his brother, Edward, being apparently his foreign agent, as evidenced by the letters exchanged between them. His lot was one hundred and two feet front on the river, and extended back three hundred and ninety-six feet, the "Claypoole House," thereon being No. 37 Walnut street.

James Claypoole, by virtue of his business ability and close friendship and asso- ciation with William Penn, became at once a prominent factor in the founding and administration of the colony. On August 19, 1684, he, with Robert Turner and Thomas Lloyd, constituted the Board of Commissioners of Property, and were commissioned by the Provincial Council to issue warrants of survey, and patents for land to purchasers. He was commissioned a Justice of the Peace, September 14, 1685, and a Justice of the Courts on November 6, 1685, and of the Provincial Court. He was returned as a member of Colonial Assembly from Philadelphia, March 30, 1685-86. At a meeting of Provincial Council, held July 5; 1686, James Claypoole's petition was presented to be commissioned Register General of the province, in the place of Christopher Taylor, who was deceased, but the Council, "thought it not fit to settle it on any one person, but leave it to ye Govrs. disposal." They, therefore, ordered that Robert Turner, William Frampton and William Southersby "take ye charge of ye office of Register Genll, in as full and ample a manner as Christop. Taylor, had in his Life Time," to be answerable to the Coun- cil for the fees thereof. However, at a meeting of the Council, held November 18, 1686, William Frampton, being deceased, and both Robert Turner and South- ersby declining, to continue the care of the office, "it was unanimously (agreed) that ye Genll. Registry be proposed to the acception of James Claypoole Senior, he haveing lately Requested ye same, upon his consent thereto a Commission be Drawne to Impowre him to act therein Dureing ye Govrs. Pleasure." At their next meeting, November 19, 1686, "the commission for Register General was this day given to James Claypoole, Senr, and he attested accordingly." On March 30, 1687, he was returned as a member of Provincial Council from Philadelphia for a term of three years, took his seat therein and an active part in its proceedings until a short time prior to his death, which occurred August 6, 1687. Samuel Carpenter was elected to succeed him. He had been eminently successful in his business undertakings and left a goodly estate for that period. His wife, Helena, survived him and died a year later, August 19, 1688, both being buried in the Friends' burying-ground, on Mulberry street.

JOHN CLAYPOOLE, eldest son of James and Helena ( Merces) Claypoole, born in or near the city of London, November 15, 1658, was sent by his father to Penn- sylvania, to prepare a home for the family in Philadelphia. He was made an assistant or secretary to Thomas Holme, Commissioner and Surveyor-General of the Province of Pennsylvania, and accompanied him in the "Amity," which sailed from Gravesend, April 23, 1682. In the letter written to England, almost immedi- ately on his arrival, James Claypoole states that he is installed in his new house erected under the supervision of his son, John, in Philadelphia, with his wife and eight children. That John, the eldest, "writes for the Register," and James is "Book-keeper for the Society of Free Traders." In the minutes of the Provincial Council, of October 26, 1683, he is named as the foreman of the jury selected to try Charles Pickering for counterfeiting. He is erroneously named in the Penn- sylvania Archives as a Provincial Justice in 1685-86, the minutes of Council show- ing it was James Claypoole and not John who was commissioned. He was Clerk of the Colonial Assembly from 1686 to 1690, and was High Sheriff of Philadel- phia from 1687 to 1690, and April 29, 1693, to his death on September 8, 1700. He was also "Collector of Supply Money" for Philadelphia.

JOSEPH CLAYPOOLE, youngest son of James and Helena (Merces) Claypoole, was but six years of age when he accompanied his parents to Philadelphia, in the "Concord," in 1683. He appears to have learned the trade of a wood-worker, or at least followed that business, as he is styled in deeds and in his will as a "joiner." He was a prosperous business man and became a large landowner in and around Philadelphia, purchasing a number of lots in the city proper, which he later im- proved. He was concerned in promoting, and assisted largely in the founding and building of Christ Church, and contributed much towards it, and was its first warden, and for many years one of its leading members. He married (first) at Charleston, South Carolina, July 20, 1703, Rebecca Jenings, of that town. She died November 30, 1715, and he married (second), April 10, 1716, Edith, daughter of John and Sarah Ward, of Philadelphia, who was buried at Christ Church, Jan-

CLAYPOOLE

ABRAHAM GEORGE CLAYPOOLE, eldest son of James and Mary (Chambers) Claypoole, born in Philadelphia, in the year 1756, was one of the most ardent patriots of the Revolution. When it became apparent that a resort to arms in defense of the rights of the colonies was unavoidable, he and his younger brother, David C., converted their fowling pieces into muskets by the addition of bayonets, and supplying themselves with ammunition, enlisted as privates in Captain Mifflin's company of Philadelphia Militia, and participated in the fortification and defense of Billingsport. He later entered the Continental service and was Captain-Lieu- tenant in Colonel John Patton's regiment, during the Jersey campaign of 1777; was promoted to Captain, June 10, 1778, and transferred to the new Eleventh Regiment, and from that to the Third Regiment, Continental Line, January 17, 1781 ; retired from the service as Captain in the Third, January 1, 1783. He was one of the nine original members of the Pennsylvania Society of Cincinnati. As an officer of the United States Bank, about 1815, he went to Chillicothe, Ohio, and established a branch of the bank there, of which he became cashier. He died Feb- ruary 11, 1827.

Captain Claypoole married (first) at the Second Presbyterian Church of Phila- delphia, February 4, 1789, Elizabeth Popewell Falconer, who died in 1794. He married (second), November 23, 1795, Elizabeth Steele, who died at Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1818.

BRINTON FAMILY.

Brinton, compounded from two Celtic words, brin, a hill, and ton, toun, tun or dun, an enclosed or fortified camp or fort, or in short a town, gave the name to a number of parishes in different parts of England, from which in turn the holders of the ancient manors, out of which these parishes were formed, derived their sur- names. In the same manner the domain of Brienton, on the right bank of the Seine in Normandy, gave the name to the noble family of "de Brienton," who were, however, in no way connected with the Brinton family of England, with which this narrative is concerned. The family from which the Pennsylvania family of Brinton derives its descent, took its name from the parish of Brinton, later cor- rupted into Brimpton, in southern Berkshire ; a fertile tract of about fifteen hun- dred acres in the angle of the little rivers of Auburn and Kennett. According to the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror, compiled in the eleventh century, this parish was held in part by Ralph de Mortimer, one of William's most power- fnl Barons, who was a blood relation of his liege lord, and received from him over one hundred lordships.

Earl Mortimer conferred his Manor of Brinton on one of his Norman follow- ers,who took from it his name, being known as Robert de Brinton, of Brinton, county of Berks. This Robert de Brinton, who flourished about 1150, married Eva, daughter and heiress of Hamo, of Longford, in Staffordshire, and acquired in right of her, the Manor of Longford, Shropshire, the estate of Church-Eaton- cum-Orslow, in Staffordshire, and Mid-Aston, in Oxfordshire. He died about 1185, leaving two sons-Adam and John ; his widow marrying (second), in 1190, or 1191, Walter de Wetfield, who died in 1215.

ADAM DE BRINTON, eldest son of Robert and Eva, entered into possession of his father's several estates; but, being an ardent supporter of the Magna Charta, came in for a share of the vengeance of King John, who deprived him of his lands by a royal writ, dated September 15, 1216, and conferred them upon his younger brother, John de Brinton; but on the accession of Henry III., that monarch under date of November 4, 1217, reinvested Adam in his domain. He died in 1235, aged nearly seventy years, and was succeeded by his son,

ADAM DE BRINTON, second of the name, who was invested with the estates of his father, January 26, 1236, and in 1240, held in fee of Longford, in Shropshire, as well as Church-Eaton and Orslow, in Staffordshire, Middle Aston, in Oxford- shire, and Brinton, in Berkshire. In 1260-61 he was appointed Commissioner, with Thomas de Roshal and Hoel de Madoc, to meet Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, at the Ford of Montgomery, to negotiate a treaty with him on behalf of the Crown. He died June, 1274, and was succeeded by his son,

ADAM DE BRINTON, third of the name, then over thirty years of age, whose wife's name was Maud. In the summer of 1277, he was summoned for service against Llewellyn, and being a Knight of the realm, attended in person the muster held July 1. 1277. In 1287, he was appointed "Conservator of the Peace" for Berkshire, and was again summoned in 1297 to appear with horses and arms at London, on July 17, for service "beyond the seas," under King Edward, who then contemplated an incursion into France. In 1301 he was summoned to muster at

1452

BRINTON

Berwick-on-Tweed, to attack the Scots. He represented Berkshire in 1300 as a Knight, and as "Lord of the Manor of Brinton" held, twice a year, free court of jurisdiction at the manor house for the trial of offences, etc. He was succeeded in May, 1315, by

JOHN DE BRINTON, his eldest son, born 1287, who is mentioned in a list of land- holders in 1316, as Lord of Brinton and Wasing, an adjoining parish on the south; of Middle Aston, Oxford; Church-Eaton, Stafford; and Longford, Shropshire. He was Sheriff of Oxford and Berkshire, 1319-22, and again 1327-28. In 1324 he was ordered to seize, in the King's name, goods and chattels belonging to aliens in Oxfordshire. He sat in Parliament as Knight of Berks, 1327, and in 1359, was appointed one of the twelve gentleman of Shropshire to collect, arm and drill the adult male inhabitants to protect the realm in the absence of the King beyond the Deas. He was the last of the family to hold the undivided right in the lands in- herited by the de Brintons from Eva, heiress of Longford. He having conveyed Longford to his son, Thomas de Brinton, and Isabella, his wife, 1375, and she surviving him held it by right of survivorship, and he leaving no issue it passed out of the family. He, however, held by inheritance the other estates of his father, John de Brinton, that of Church-Eaton-cum-Orslow, was claimed by his next of kin and was the subject of litigation for many years, being finally ad- judged to the family of de Brinton, and held in 1464, by one John Brynton. The estate of Brinton, in Berks, however, passed out of the family after the death of John de Brinton, father of Thomas, and the family seem to have settled perma- nently in Staffordshire, and as indicated by the record of the holder of the estate of Church-Eaton-cum-Orslow, as "John Brynton" dropped the "de," and were thereafter known only as Brinton.

William Brinton, the Quaker ancestor of the Pennsylvania family of the name, living at the little village of Nether Gournall, in the parish of Sedgely, Stafford- shire, but seven miles from Church-Eaton-cum-Orslow, held by John Brynton, in 1464. but two generations at most before his time doubtless came of the same family, but no records have been discovered to form the connecting link.
