M. REV. JAMES GRIER.
The Rev. James Grier was born in Bucks County, Pa., about 1750. Where he received his academical training is not known. He was graduated at the head of his class by the College of New Jersey in 1772, and passed a year as a tutor in that institution. He was hopfully converted by the preaching of Whitefield, and studied theology under the direction of Dr. Witherspoon.
Mr. Grier was licensed by the Presbytery of Philadelphia in 1775, and installed as pastor of Deep Run Presbyterian Church, Bucks County, Pa., in 1778, where he remained until his death. He preached his last sermon November 18, 1791, and died the next day.
Mr. Grier was an excellent scholar, a faithful and instructive minister of the Gospel. His only son, John Ferguson Grier, organ- ized and became pastor of the first Presbyterian Church in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Although fully competent both by learning and ability to prepare works worthy of remembrance, Mr. Grier, like nearly all of the Presbyterian clergymen of his day in the Middle States, gave no production of his pen to the public. This is the more remarkable as the press of New England, during the last century, especially, teemed with Thanksgiving Sermons, Funeral Orations, Patriotic Addresses and less ephemeral productions.t

BRANDYWINE CREEK.
This stream, the Susquehanna of Chester County, retains the name given it by the Dutch, while they held possession of the country around its outlet. Brandywein Kill, clear-water river, is mentioned by the First Governor under the Duke of York in 1665. On account of the abundance of fish in its waters this stream was much fre- quented by the Indians, and its banks were among their favorite camping-grounds. Many of the sites for propelling machinery afforded by its rapid current were utilized at an early period. Several' of the first grist-mills erected West of the Delaware River were dependent on this water-course for their motive-power.
Owing to the clearing away of the forests, giving rise to greater evaporation, and the removal of fallen timber and other obstructions from its channel, permitting the rain-fall to pass off more rapidly, this stream is much smaller than it was a century ago. A ferry was kept several years by Chadd at the crossing which bears his name, and when the Hessians attempted to force a passage at that place during the ill-starred battle fought on its banks, they were obliged to carry their muskets on a level with the shoulder, and many of the wounded by Wayne's artillery were drowned.
There are few streams of no greater length nor volume of water more noteworthy than the Brandywine. This is manifest whether attention is directed to the conflict which bears its name, the numerous factories for which it supplies the motive-power, or the well-tilled farms of the moral and intelligent communities which people the large portion of Chester County which it drains.
The Presbyterians indicated the locality of their first Meeting- Houses and the religious associations connected with them by giving them the names of the nearest known natural objects, as streams, valleys, levels, etc. Thus Great Valley, Neshaminy, Deep Run, Head of Christiana, Octoraro, Doc Run, Chestnut Level, and Forks of Brandywine, or in the quaint style and orthography of Adam Boyd, the Fforks.
The Friends rejecting the Indian names as savoring of heathenism, called their houses for public worship after the Townships in which
256
APPENDIX.
they were placed, as Birmingham, Goshen, Uwehlan, Nantmeal, Caln, etc. That they did so is a matter for regret, as it has caused the original names of nearly all the streams in Chester County to be forgotten. In Lancaster, Berks, and other Counties a majority of the water-courses retain, with some modifications, the names they received from the Aborigines, but in Chester County two streams only, the Pocopson and Octoraro, perpetuate the remembrance of the most friendly and unwarlike of the Indian tribes.
While the annals of many portions of this State contain details of " Indian outrages," the history of one of the oldest Counties shows that the Lenni Lenape and their " white brothers" dwelt peaceably together along the Brandywine and other streams upwards of a hundred years .*
O. NANTMELL TOWNSHIP.
This Township, now divided into five, was formed and some set- tlements made along its Western limit by Welsh immigrants in 1720-22. It included a large area, being bounded on the North by French Creek, West by the mountain (Welsh Mountain), Southeast by the Barren Hill, and Northeast in part by Marsh Creek. When Lancaster County was set off from Chester, in 1729, the division line between the two Counties became the Western limit of Nantmell, while the Southeast boundary of Springtown Manor, laid out in the same year, separated it from Caln.
Nantmell remained almost an unsettled wilderness until the Scotch Irish, who landed at Newcastle in 1729, and the years immediately following, passing up the Brandywine and along the " Indian Trail" which led from the Great Valley to Conestogo Valley, chose this township as their places of abode.
The Scotch and Scotch-Irish were the poorest in worldly goods and the least refined of the first settlers, but being energetie, economical, and industrious, they soon dotted the Township with humble but

APPENDIX.
comfortable homes. As they, like all who came to America at that period, sought " freedom to worship God" rather than wealth, a church was soon organized and a building for public worship provided. The Manor Meeting-House, the first in Nantmell Township, and for a hundred years the only Presbyterian Church within its boundaries, was built in less than three years after records prove that those who erected it had become settled residents.
The first dwellings were made of unhewn logs; the barns were small and thatched with straw. The buildings were placed near a spring, no wells having been sunk until at least half a century after- wards, and the now common suction-pump unknown till upward of thirty years later. Coming from countries where timber was scarce and valuable, and not being skilled in wielding the axe, they spared the forests, making ditches the boundaries of farms, and using the privet for the separation of fields.
The section of country included in Nantmell being elevated, and the currents in the streams rapid, the purity and abundance of the water, an object of particular interest with the first settlers, caused it to be named and settled sooner than many other portions of the County. As further evidence of this, it may be stated that the name of the Township, Nantmell, or good water, of the principal stream, Brandywine Kill, clear-water river, and Springtown, the name of the Manor, all refer to the water, and what is worthy of remark, each of these names was given by immigrants of different nationalities. Nantmell by the Welsh, Brandywein by the Dutch, and Springtown by the English.
The Indians appear to have appreciated the advantages of the bracing air, pure water, and abundance of fish and game which Nantmell afforded, as one of their principal towns and burial-places was situated in this Township.
The influence of the Manor Church, which, after the lapse of one hundred and fifty years, still flourishes, is manifest both in the general morality of the inhabitants and in the fact that eight out of every ten of those who own the farms occupied by their forefathers are descendants of members of that church.
Although Nantmell has produced few literary or scientific men, yet two natives of it have received the degree of D.D., two of LL.D., and at least four members of the Chester County bar, three editors of

ably-conducted periodicals, nine physicians and two well-known edu- cators claim Nantmell as the home of their infancy .*

EXTRACT FROM MINUTES OF PRESBYTERY. SEPTEMBER, 1716.
Meetings or Presbyteries constituting one annually as a synod, to meet at Philadelphia or elsewhere, to consist of all the members of each subordinate Presbytery or meeting for this year at least. There- fore, it is agreed by the Presbytery after serious deliberation, that the first subordinate meeting or Presbytery do meet at Philadelphia, or elsewhere, as they shall see fit, to consist of these, viz., Messrs. An- drews, Jones, Powell, Orr, Pradner, and Morgan, and the second to meet at New Castle, or elsewhere, as they shall see fit, to consist of these, viz., Messrs. Anderson, Magill, Gillespie, Wotherspoon, Evans, and Conn. The third to meet at Snowhill, or elsewhere, to consist of these, viz., Messrs. Davies, Hampton, and Henry.
Of the above Fifteen Presbyterian Clergymen, only one, Andrews, was a native. All of the others were immigrants from Scotland, Ireland, or Wales.
