TUNIS FAMILY.

ABRAHAM TUNES, founder of the family of that name in Pennsylvania, as well as a branch of the same family later known as Tennis, came to Pennsylvania from Crefeld-on-the-Rhine, with the first settlers of Germantown. He arrived in Phila- delphia in the "Concord," July 29, 1683, and was one of the original founders of this, the first German settlement in Penn's colony, and member of the Frankfort Company, the projectors of this colony, and the purchasers from William Penn, of the land on which they settled. Abraham Tunes participated in the division of this land, joining in the deeds by which it was apportioned to the actual settlers, recorded in the ancient Germantown Deed Book. On April 26, 1689, two hundred acres of land, a tract called "Sommerhausen," was laid out near Chestnut Hill, in "German Township," by warrant from Penn's commissioners, to Francis Daniel Pastorius; and on December 29, 1693, Pastorius conveyed it to Abraham Tunes and William Strepers, who held it jointly until after the death of William Strepers, who by will, dated in 1717, devised his interest therein to his son, John.

On June 14, 1724, "Abraham Tunes, of Sommerhausen, German Township, husbandman," and John Strepers, made partition of this two hundred acres be- tween them.

On November 20, 1708, Daniel Falkner, and others of the survivors of the Frankfort Company, conveyed to Abraham Tunes, seventy-five acres adjoining the above tract, on the line of Penn's Manor, of Springfield, now Springfield township, Montgomery county, in the extreme upper end of Germantown town- ship. On June 17, 1703, Daniel and Justus Falkner, as attorneys of Benjamin Furly, of the city of Rotterdam, merchant, conveyed to Abraham Tunes and John Lucken, one thousand acres of land purchased by Furly of William Penn. This land was laid out in what became Towamencin township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery ) county, and in 1709, Tunes and Lucken made partition thereof, each taking five hundred acres. On May 16, 1715, Abraham Tunes, of German township, and Bathsheba, his wife, conveyed to William Strepers, ten acres of the seventy-five purchased in 1708. Another tract was conveyed to Abraham Tunes, by Daniel Falkner, 1712, adjoining his other land, and on July 21, 1727, he conveyed to his "second son, Anthony Tunes," several tracts in German township, appar- ently all his real estate holdings there, comprising four separate tracts. No wife joined in this deed, from which it is to be inferred that she was deceased at that date.

Abraham Tunes was one of the purchasers, with Caus Rittenhouse and John Gorgas, on March 4, 1713-14, of the De Wees paper mills, the first in America.

On May 2, 1723, Abraham Tunes conveyed to his eldest son, William Tunes, four hundred acres of the five hundred acres surveyed to him in right of the pur- chase of Benjamin Furley, and the partition between him and John Lucken, in Towamencin township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) county, and William settled thereon. The name of Abraham Tunes, as signed to the various deeds, above recited, though appearing in the body of the deed as "Tunes," is written in proper form, "Abraham Teunisen," from which it may be inferred that his father's

TUNIS

Christian, and not his surname, was "Teunis," quite a common name among the Hollanders, and that, according to a Dutch custom of the time, the "sen" was added to the father's Christian name, to make the surname of the son. It is therefore im- possible, without research abroad, to trace the ancestry of this pioneer of the family in America.

It is not possible to definitely determine the date of the death of Abraham Tunes (or Teunisen), of "Sommerhausen," as a careful search of the civil records of Philadelphia county fails to disclose any probate records on his estate. It is prob- able that in his old age, having lost his wife, he conveyed all his real estate to his two sons, William and Anthony, and thereafter made his residence either with one of them or with his daughter, Alice, wife of Jacob Levering, of Roxborough. The births of his five children appear of record at Abington Friends' Meeting. It was not until some years after they had become landowners that the early set- tlers of Germantown made a concerted movement to have themselves declared ad- herents of the English Crown, in order that their title to real estate, under its jurisdiction, might become indefeasible. At a meeting of the Provincial Council at Philadelphia, May 15, 1706, the petition of one hundred and fifty "high and low Germans" was presented, requesting "(seeing they are not at present believed to be secure in their estates), for remedying the unhappiness they may be engaged in, if they still be considered foreigners, the Assembly may be convened with all Con- venient speed & a Bill be recommended from this Board for naturalizing all & every of the Petitioners, that they may have an undoubted right to hold, enjoy, alienate, sell & dispose of any of their lands, as the natural born subjects of Eng- land may or can do in this Provunce, & also that they may be capable of Electing & being Elected, to serve in Assembly & other Offices ; also that some of the Petrs. (petitioners) being Mennists who, (with their Predecessors for 150 Years past) could not for Conscience sake take an Oath, the same provision may be made for them by a law, as is made for those called Quakers in this Province, and that the said Law may be sent home with the rest, past by the Assembly, in order to obtain the Queen's Royal Approbation." Whereupon, "the petition being argued and considered, It is Resolved that is highly reasonable the Petrs. and all others in their circumstances should be rendered Secure in their Estates and Titles in their Lands in this Province" * * * "leave is given the Petrs. to procure the Attorney General to draw up a bill for that purpose, to be laid before this Board, where it shall meet with all due Encouragement." It was not, however, until September 28, 1709, that the bill was finally passed by the Assembly and presented to the Governor and Provincial Council, September 29, for naturalizing these Germans. The names of those naturalized, headed by Francis Daniel Pastorius, is given in the bill, and the name of "Abraham Tunnis" appears among them.

H'illiam and Magdalena ( Levering) Tunis had issue :

Abraham Tennis, settled in Richland twp., Bucks co .; d. there, 1750, leaving a widow, Anna, and several children;

Anthony Tennis, d., Towamencin, 1750, leaving an only child, Christina ; Samuel Tennis, of Towamencin, of whom we have no further record;

John Tennis, of Towamencin, of whom we have no further record;

Elizabeth Tennis, m. - Morris; mentioned in will of her brother, Anthony, 1750.

Alice Tunis, b. Jan., 1691-2; m. Jacob Levering, youngest son of Weigard, and brother of Magdalena, wife of her brother, William;

ANTHONY TUNIS, "second son," b. March 24, 1693-4; of whom presently.

ANTHONY TUNIS, second son of Abraham and Bathsheba Tunis, of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia county, was born at Germantown, March 24, 1693-4, and as above shown, received from his father a deed for the "Sommerhausen" home- stead, at Chestnut Hill, including his father's purchases of 1693, 1708 and 1712. He married at the Merion Meeting of Friends, December 5, 1718, Mary, eldest daugh- ter of John Williams, one of the pioneer Welsh settlers in the "Welsh Tract," in Merion township, by his wife, Ellen, daughter of Arendt Klincken, a Dutch set- tler in Germantown 1687. They continued to reside in Philadelphia county, Ger- mantown township, until after 1740, conveying at different periods portions of the Chestnut Hill property received from his father, but removed to Lower Merion township, on the opposite side of the Schuylkill, 1740; though he continued to own a portion of the Chestnut Hill property until August 20, 1746, when he made a conveyance to Michael Hillegas of ten acres thereof. He had, however, purchased two hundred and eighty-five acres in Chester county, 1730, which he conveyed in 1743, without having settled thereon. On his removal to Lower Merion, he purchased two considerable tracts of land near Merion Meetinghouse, and resided there until his death, 5mo. 20, 1762, when they were devised to his sons, Abraham and Joseph, respectively, by his will dated February 6, 1762, and probated at Philadelphia, May 29,, of the same year. These two "Messuages or Tenements" and tracts of land, described in his will, are doubtless the same as those marked on Scull and Heap's map of Philadelphia county, 1750-77, as "Tunis."

Anthony Tunis, member of Radnor (or Merion) Monthly Meeting of Friends, was married at Merion Meetinghouse, as before stated, 1718, and the births of his nine children are recorded on the register of that meeting. His father, Abraham Teunisen, was doubtless, "with his predecessors for 150 years Past," as expressed in the petition which he and others presented to Provincial Council 1706, a Men- nonist, and like a number of his com-patriots, finding no church of his sect in the colony on their arrival, affiliated with the Friends, and was recognized as a mem- ber, though we have been unable to find his name on the records of the meetings of that vicinity. Mary (Williams) Tunis, widow of Anthony, was huried in the Friends' graveyard at Merion, September 19, 1769.

Issue of Anthony and Mary (Williams) Tunis :

Elinor Tunis, b. Sept. 8, 1719, probably eldest dau., deceased at date of father's will, and mentioned therein as "Elinor Cook," and her children-Elinor, Anthony, and Mary Cook, m. Isaac Cook, at Abington Meeting, Sept., 1739;

Hannah Tunis, mentioned in father's will as "Hannah Riber," possibly an error of the scrivener, and meant for "Elizabeth Righter."

ABRAHAM TUNIS, eldest son of Anthony and Mary ( Williams) Tunis, was born February 6, 1732-3, in Germantown township, Philadelphia county. He married at Merion Meetinghouse, 1755, Hannah Humphreys, and when his father executed his will, 1762, was living on a plantation belonging to the father in Lower Merion, which was by the will devised to him. He did not long survive his father, however, as letters of administration were granted on his estate to his widow, Hannah, and the latter's stepfather, Richard George, September 2, 1767. His widow married, December 9, 1769, Charles Horton, and she and her three chil- dren, by Abraham Tunis, are mentioned in will of Richard George, 1771, and that of her mother, Esther George, 1776. At a session of the Orphans' Court of Phila- delphia county, held June 8, 1772, guardians were appointed for the children of Abraham and Hannah Tunis, on petition of the eldest son, Anthony, then just past fifteen years of age, and the real estate of their father, inherited by them, was divided by deed several years later.

Abraham Tunis married at Merion Meetinghouse. November 13, 1755, Hannah, only child of Benjamin Humphreys, Jr., of Haverford township, Chester county. by his wife, Esther, daughter of Isaac and Anne (Craven) Warner, of Blockley, Philadelphia county, and granddaughter of William and Anne (Dide) Warner, pioneer settlers of Blockley.

Esther (Warner) Humphreys, married ( second) at Merion Meetinghouse, Richard George, of Blockley, whom she also survived, but by whom she had no children. Richard George died 1771, and Esther, his widow, 1776; the wills of both mentioning the four children of Abraham and Hannah (Humphreys ) Tunis.

Daniel Humphreys, father of Benjamin, was born in Llangelynin parish, county of Merioneth, Wales, 1660, and was eldest son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Reese ) Humphreys. Samuel Humphreys died at Bryn-tallwyn, Merionethshire, Wales. 1677, and, July 27, 1683, the widow, Elizabeth, received from the Quarterly Meet- ing of Merionethshire, a certificate for herself and five of her six surviving chil- dren to transport themselves to Pennsylvania ; her eldest son, Daniel, having pre- ceded her to this province, 1682. Samuel Humphrey was one of the early converts to the doctrines of Friends and suffered much persecution for his religious faith, some account of which is given in the "Narrative of John Humphrey," of Merion. a brother of Samuel, who had come to Pennsylvania and settled in Merion, Phila- delphia county. 1683. and died there, September 28. 1699.

the other surviving son of Samuel and Elizabeth, accompanied his mother to Pennsylvania, and inherited the farm of his uncle, John, the narrator, above men- tioned, in Merion, and died there 1738. He married Mary Lewellyn, and left several daughters.

Daniel Humphrey, as before stated, came to Pennsylvania in 1682. He later took up land in Haverford, and married at Merion Meetinghouse, October 25, 1695, Hannah, daughter of Thomas Wynne, Speaker of the first Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania, 1682-83, having accompanied William Penn to America in the "Welcome."

Daniel and Hannah (Wynne) Humphreys were parents of ten children, six sons and four daughters. Their son, Charles (named in will of Esther (Warner- Humphreys) George, as her brother-in-law, and made one of the executors there- of), was a member of Continental Congress, 1774-76, having served continuously in Provincial Assembly from Chester county, 1763-75. Joshua Humphreys, son of Joshua, and grandson of Daniel, was a prominent ship-builder in Philadelphia, and designer of several ships of the early American navy ; a great-grandson, Sam- uel Humphreys, was Chief Constructor of the Navy, 1815-46. General A. A. Humphreys, of the United States Army, who served with distinction in the Civil War, was also a descendant.

Hannah Humphreys Tunis, widow of Abraham Tunis, married (second), De- cember 9, 1769, Charles Horton, but does not appear to have had any children by him. The date of her death was March 21, 1806. She is mentioned in the will of her mother, Esther George, 1776.
