Benjamin Men- denhall also arrived in Concord Township with his brother John. He was styled a wheelwright .. He did not become a landholler until Twelfth Month, 7-8, 1701, when he bought 250 acres of the tract in northern Concord, surveyed to William Hitchcock, Twelfth Month, 18, 1682, upon which he settled. He married Ann Pennell,

NEWLIN.
Nicholas Newlin, a gentleman in easy circumstances, with Elizabeth his wife and children, emigrated from Mt. Meliek, County Tyrone, Ireland. in 1083. and settled in Concord Township, now Delaware County, Pa. His certificate from Friends in Ireland express a fear that his removal was caused by a fear of suffering for his testimony of Jesus or coveting worldly liberty. "but his life here showed him to be firm in the performance of duty under all cirenmstances." (Dr. Smith. ) He purchased 500 aeres to- wards the northern part of the township by survey, Ninth Month. 24. 1683. and patent Third Month, 1. 1685, and settled thereon. He was appointed to a sept in the Provincial Commeil in 1685 and was a Justice of the Courts of Chester County for several years.

Two hundred and twenty-fifth Anniversary
Ile was probably the most influential member of Concord Meeting in his time and monthly meetings were frequently held at his house from 1687 umtil his death in 1699, and afterwards at his widow's. She died in 1717.
Of the three children, Nathaniel, John and Rachel, who ac- companied him from Ireland, it is only through the first that his descendants of the name are known, as John died unmarried and Rachel married Ephraim Jackson and they had a large family, but removed from this neighborhood.
Nathaniel Newlin, born in Ireland by some account December 18, 1665, married Mary Mendenhall, the immigrant, Second Month (April, O. S.), 17, 1685. They resided on the plantation of his father, which was re-surveyed to him Second Month, 2, 1703. as 552 acres. In 1704 he built the mill now at Markham Station, and there is still in the wall a stone with the mseription, Nath- aniel and Mary Newlin, 1704. He, like his father, was prominent both in the affairs of the Society of Friends and in the com- munity. He was for several years a member of the Provincial Assembly, a Commissioner of Property, Justice of the County Courts and a Trustee of the Land Office of the province. In 1724 he purchased a tract of over 7,000 acres on the Brandywine, to which was given the name of Newlin Township. Although ad- vanced in years, he married a second wife, Mary Fincher, Second Month, 11, 1729, and died in the following month, Third Month, 1729. According to Dr. Smith, he built a brick house in 1699 on the site of the building erected by John Sharpless on the now State road in Concord, which stood until the latter tore it down, about 1836, to build a new mansion, which has recently been burned and replaced by another house. Nathaniel and Mary had seven children, viz :
1. Jemima, born Twelfth Month, 9, 1685; married Richard Eavenson. 1712.
2. Elizabeth, born First Month, 3, 1687-8; married Ellis Lewis, 1717.
3. Nicholas, born Third Month, 19, 1689; married Edith Pyle, 1715.
4. Nathaniel, born Seventh Month, 19, 1690; died Twelfth Month, 1731 : married Jane Woodward.
5. John, born Twelfth Month, 28, 1690; died 1753; married Mary Woodward.
6. Keziah, born Twelfth Month, 22, 1695-6; married William Baily. 7. Mary, born Second Month, 12, 1699; married Richard Clayton, 1724.
Nathaniel and Jane ( Woodward) Newlin had a son, Nathaniel Newlin, who married Esther Metealf, of New Jersey.
(1) These were the parents of Thomas Newlin, who married Sarah Grubb, Fourth Month, 18. 1872. who were the parents of John H. Newlin, of Concord, long identified with Concord Meeting, who died First Month, 8, 1892
(2) They were also the parents of Mary Nowlin, who married Gaius Dickinson, Fifth Month, 26, 1757, son of Joseph and Eliza-

beth, of Sadsbury, Lancaster County, Pa. These had a daughter, Anna Dickinson, who married Isaac Walker. These in turn had a daughter, Mary Walker, who married Samuel Slokom in 1837, son of Thomas and Susan ( Miller) Slokom, born in Sadsbury 1817; died Eleventh Month, 13, 1889. He was a farmer and banker and a man of great influence in Lancaster County. His widow, Mary ( Walker) Slokom, was of sturdy Quaker stock, and during her long life had great influence in the Society of Friends. She died in Chester, Fourth Month, 20, 1893, aged 87 years, and was buried at old Sadsbury Friends' Burial Grounds. Through their daughter, Deborah Dickinson Slokom, who married William Hall Sproul, Third Month, 5, 1862, son of James and Anne ( John- son ) Sproul, born Eleventh Month, 6, 1837, they have a grandson. Hon. William Cameron Sproul, born Ninth Month, 16, 1870, near Octoraroville, Colerain Township, Lancaster County, Pa., who has become identified with much that pertains to the interest of the Society of Friends and also of the public welfare. He is one of the managers of Swarthmore College, in which he graduated in 1891, and donor to that institution of an astronomical observatory and telescope. Ile has very many business connections, one being as a partner in the "Chester Times" and "Morning Republican" Association. In 1896 he was elected to the State Senate of Penn- sylvania and has been re-elected thrice to the same office, in which he has been a conspicuous member. The Sproul road bill bearing his name now on the statutes of our State will long commemorate his ability to promote measures of vital interest to the welfare of the people of this favored State.
(3) It is thought that Nathaniel and Esther Newlin, who doubtless resided in the southwestern part of Concord, were the parents of the Nathaniel Newlin who was elected the second Senator from Delaware County for two terms, 1794 to 1796, two years, and 1796 to 1800, four years. Delaware County was formed from a part of Chester County, September 26, 1789, and John Sellers was its first Senator.
PAINTER.
The first Painter to arrive in this vicinity was Samuel Painter, who arrived in Philadelphia probably in 1699, and subse- quently bought land in Birmingham, in which township his son also, Samuel Painter, had previously settled, and who is supposed to have immigrated with his father from that part of England bordering on Wales, Samuel, Jr., born about 1680; died about 1755; married Elizabeth Buxcey, Fourth Month 7, 1716, daughter of Humphrey Buxcey, of Husk, in Berkshire, England, born about 1690; died Sixth Month, 20, 1711. Samuel. Jr., became a very large land owner in Birmingham and adjoining townships and in addition to being an agrientturist also followed his trade of tailoring. They had six children, viz :
1. Mary, who married isaac Gilpin (g. v.).
2. Samuel, born Second Month. 5. 1719: died Third Month. 24, 1801 : married Esther Gilpin. Sixth Month, 5, 1741. in Concord Meeting. (See under Gilpin.)
133
Two hundred and twenty-fifth Anniversary
They had seven children, viz: (1) James, the grandfather of Minshall and James Painter, of Middletown, Delaware County, long noted scientist and in public affairs; (2) George; (3) Lydia, who married Isaac Baily, the ancestor of many of the Baily families of Chester County; (4) Joseph; (5) Thomas; (6) Han- nah, who married Joseph Townsend, and (7) Samuel, who was twice married, but left no issue. He was, however, a very prominent man in his time.
3. John, born 1720; died 1765; married Agnes Cobourn, 1743, and he married, second, Sarah Yeatman, 1751, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Bennett) Yeatman, by whom he had a son, Samuel Painter, born Second Month, 29, 1752; died First Month, 17, 1802, and who married Elizabeth Bennett, 1779, daughter of William and Deborah ( Wardward) Bennett, Sixth Month, 2, 14, 1751; died Fourth Mouth, 1, 1829. These were the parents of Sarah, John Sidney, William and Milton Painter.
Of these Sidney married Robert Pennell (see under the name Pennell), and William, born Fourth Month, 12, 1785; died Seventh Month, 6, 1854, married Phebe Churchman, Eleventh Month, 18, 1807 in Concord Meeting, daughter of Edward and Rebecca (Peirce) Churchman, born Seventh Month, 24, 1775; died Ninth Month, 23, 1831. They settled on the homestead of his ancestors near what has long been known as Painter's Cross Roads, west of Concordville. They were anti-slavery propagandists and main- tained a station on the once famous "Underground Railroad." He was a man of strong character and a thrifty farmer, owning 600 aeres. They were both active members of Concord Meeting, but about 1850 removed to Wilmington, Delaware, and were buried at Wilmington Meeting. They had nine children, viz: Mary West, Samuel, Dr. Edward, Milton, Charles, Darwin, Eliza, John and Margaret Churchman Painter.
PALMER.
John Palmer appeared in Concord as early as 1686 and is supposed to have come from England as a servant. It is certain that in 1688 he purchased 100 acres of land of William Penn's agents and settled upon it. Ile married Mary Southern, a daugh- ter of Robert, who had taken up land in both Bethel and Thorn- bury. They were at first Friends, but went off in the Keith separation ; their children, however, remained as Friends, of which they had six, viz: John, Jr., Catherine, Alice, Margery, Ann and Mary.
The line of Palmer descendants so far as the name is con- nected with Concord comes down through the son John. Jr., and so far as the daughters are concerned. whilst both Ann and Mary married brothers, to wit, William and James Trimble, it is only through William and Aun that the Concord family are identified. The other daughters and their children removed from the neigh- borhood.
John Palmer, Jr., married Martha Yearsley in 1714. They took an interest ir the Society of Friends and he was interested

in the establishment of schools. They had quite a number of children, of which only four, viz, Moses, Elizabeth, Martha and John, grew up, married and left descendants. The son Moses, born Fifth Month, 26, 1721; died Sixth Month, 20, 1783, married Abigail Newlin, 1745, and, second, Abigail Sharpless, 1752. By the first he had a son, John, who married Hannah Martin, 1769, whose son also, John, married Beulah Walter, 1801, of whose children (a) William W. Palmer married Hannah Trimble, 1834, and who was long a very prominent member amongst Concord Friends as clerk, overseer and elder, was the father of Dr. Edward L. Palmer, who made the response at the opening of our Anniversary (g. v.).

He was the father of Lewis Palmer, as mentioned in our Anniversary Proceedings, and grandfather of Charles Palmer, A.M., of Chester, Pa., active in Friends' philanthropie work ; also of Samuel C. Palmer, Ph.D., a professor at Swarthmore College.
Moses Pahner by his second wife, Abigail Sharpless, had a son, Moses Palmer, born 1757; died 1840, who became an extensive land owner in Concord and was a member of the State Legisla- ture, 1798 to 1802. He was very active in Friends' Meeting affairs at Concord, in which he became an elder. He left a large family of children, who mostly removed to Cincinnati, O., Baltimore and other parts of Maryland.
The youngest son of John, Jr., and Martha Palmer, also John, married Hannah Pyle, 1756; they left a long line of descendants, of which, with the other branches of the Palmer family, they are described in the Palmier Genealogy (q. v.).
PEIRCE.
George Pearce (as he wrote it), of Winscom, in Somerset County, England, and Ann Gainer, of Thornbury, in Gloucester, were married Twelfth Month ( February, O. S.), 1, 1679. They emigrated from Bristol with three young children in 1684. Upon hls arrival in Philadelphia he presented two certificates to a meeting of Friends held at the Governor's house: one from the Monthly Meeting at Freshbay, the other from Thornbury Meet- ing. He had 490 acres of land surveyed to him, Twelfth Month. 6, 1684, for which he obtained a patent, September 22, 1685. They settled here and gave the name of Thornbury to the township, in memory of his wife's former home. He also purchased other lands near him and became a very extensive land owner. Ilis name appears amongst Friends soon after his settlement, and no one exceeded him in strict attention to his religious duties in Concord Monthly Meeting.
He was amongst the first to be appointed an overseer in the meeting and afterwards became an elder. In 1722 he desired to be released from this appointment because of his age and dull hearing. He married, second, Anne Pyle, a widow, and they removed to Marlborough about 1732, where he died abont 1734 Ile gave a share of his time to civil affairs. He represented

Chester County in the Provincial Assembly in 1706. He was one of the company who erected the first Concord mill. He had ten children, viz :
1. Betty, born Ninth Month, 18, 1680; married Vincent Caldwell.
2. George, born Second Month, 23, 1682.
3. Joshua, born First Month, 5, 1684.

6. Mary, born Tenth Month, 25, 1690; married Joseph Brinton.
7. Caleb, born Twelfth Month, 21, 1692; married Mary Walter.
8. Gainer, born Second Month, 1, 1695; married Sarah Walter.
9. Hannah, born Second Month, 21, 1696; married Edward Brinton.
10. John, born Second Month, 15, 1704; died in his minority. Of these (3) Joshua married Aun Mercer, 1713, and, second, Rachel Gilpin, 1722. They were settled in Marlborough, Chester County, and have numerous descendants, amongst which were those who planted the well-known Aboretum.
(1) Aun married James Gibbons and they settled in West- town on 600 acres of land, which through his son James, Jr., and grandson, also James, was sold about 1798 to Friends for the establishment of the well-known Westtown Friends' Boarding School.
(7) Caleb married Mary Walter, Second Month, 15, 1724, daughter of Goodwin and Elizabeth ( Sanguist) Walter, immi- grants, born Eleventh Month, 5, 1698; died Tenth Mouth, 1753. They resided on a portion of the ancestral acres, where he died, First Month, 22, 1779. Their son, Caleb. Jr., born Eighth Mouth, 21, 1733; died Second Month, 23, 1815; married Ann Mendenhall, Fifth Month, 1, 1754, daughter of Robert and Phebe (Taylor) Mendenhall, born Second Month, 26, 1738; died Second Month, 22, 1828. All these were members of Concord Meeting and were there buried. Of An ( Mendenhall) Peirce Concord Monthly Meeting issued a testimony from which we extract : "She was remarkable in early life for her uniform stability of conduct and evinced a concern at that time to take up the Cross, so that she became exemplary for moderation and plainness. Being a preacher of righteousness in life and conversation, she never permitted herself to assume anything of a dictatorial spirit. She was remarkably careful to discourage everything calculated to engender strife, but rather at all time to exercise the office of a peace- maker. She was likewise much interested for the tender care and support of the poor amongst as and in her neighborhood, and more especially for those who with herself were advanced in age." These were the parents of thirteen children of which we can only note the ninth, Thomas Peirce, born Ninth Month, 5, 1770; died Eleventh Month, 1. 1826; married Margaret Trimble Third Mouth, 18 1794, at Concord Meeting, daughter of Samuc

and Esther (Brinton) Trimble, born Sixth Month, 8, 1769; died Fourth Month, 30, 1850.
These settled in Thornbury and had children, William T., Robert, Caleb, Esther Ann, Phebe, Samuel T., died young ; James Emlen, died young, and Thomas J., of which Caleb, who married Mary May, became the parents of the late Thomas May Peirce, the founder of the well-known Peirce Commercial School, now conducted by his daughter in the "Record" Building, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and Phebe became the wife of Jolm Bening- ton, the centenarian, who was a very concerned Friend and an elder in Concord (Orthodox) Monthly Meeting.
