LAND TITLES BY GILBERT COPE
F OR certain reasons William Penn decided that his chil- dren by his second wife, Hannah Callowhill, should suc- ceed him as proprietors of Pennsylvania; and for the surviving children of his first wife, Gulielma Maria Springett, he made special provision by a grant of 50,000 acres of land.
It may be briefly stated that his first marriage took place April 4th, 1672, and he came to Pennsylvania in 1682, but re- turned to England in 1684. His second marriage took place Nov. 1I, 1695, and with this wife he arrived again in Penn- sylvania on Dec. 3, 1699; and on the 17th of 12th Mo. (Feb- ruary), 1699-1700, he issued a warrant for the survey of 30,000 acres of land for Letitia and William Penn, Jr., mostly in Chester County but partly in New Castle County, (now) Dela- ware, of which he was also proprietor. This survey included the greater part of Kennett and all of New Garden township, with about 12,000 acres in Delaware. The whole was divided into two parts by a north and south line, but for some reason Letitia received 1000 acres more than her brother. To each part was given the name of the Manor of Stenning, and the idea seems to have been that the grantees might lease the lands to settlers and still retain the ownership. This, however, they did not care to do, but from time to time appointed attorneys to dispose thereof to purchasers. It happened that the most of those who purchased the lands of William Penn, Jr., came from Ireland, and these brought the name of New Garden from their native land. Among them was John Miller, who came over in 1709, but did not obtain a deed until 1713. His death occurred the following year, and by his will he devised to his son Joseph the homestead, or north-eastern part of his purchase; to William he gave the western part with a mill, and to James the south-eastern part, containing 300 acres.
When the site for a meeting-house was agreed upon, James Miller and Ann his wife conveyed to certain trustees a plot of six acres, described thus :- Beginning at a stone, a corner of James Starrs land; thence by the same West twenty-nine perches to a stone; thence North by land of James Miller, thirty-three perches to a stone; thence East by James Miller's land twenty-nine perches to a stone; thence South by Thomas
88
Lightfoot's land thirty-three perches to the place of Beginning. The deed was dated 26th of 10th Mo., 1717, and the trustees were Simon Hadly, James Starr, Thomas Jackson and Michael Lightfoot. A later deed recites as follows :-
"And whereas the said Simon Hadly, James Starr, Thomas Jackson and Michael Lightfoot, by Deed Poll dated the twelfth of December, A. D., one thousand seven hundred and ninety (twenty ?) three, under their hands and seals duly executed, did confess, acknowledge and declare that the said six acres of land with the appurtenances were so conveyed to them as Trustees in Trust for the use and benefit of the Monthly Meet- ing of New Garden of the religious Society of People called Quakers and did covenant and promise that they and the sur- vivors and survivor of them and his heirs should and would hold and dispose thereof for the use aforesaid and in such manner as the said Monthly Meeting from time to time should order, Direct and appoint : But the said Simon Hadly, James Starr, Thomas Jackson and Michael Lightfoot are all long since deceased without having conveyed the said six acres of land and appurtenances to other trustees, the said Simon Hadly being the survivor of them and some of his heirs removed to Carolina and other distant parts and others not members of said Society : And whereas the said Society by their Petition having requested the aid of the Legislature to vest the said six acres of land with the appurtenances in certain other trus- tees in the said Petition named; whereupon the said Legisla- ture of the Commonwealth did Enact that the said six acres of land, with all and every the appurtenances thereunto belong- ing, should be vested in John Philips, Isaac Richards, Jr., William Thompson, Thomas Hoopes, Halliday Jackson and Jo- seph Sharp, and the survivors and survivor of them and their heirs and assigns of the religious Society of the people called Quakers, belonging to the Monthly Meeting of New Garden
aforesaid. Deed Book A. 5, p. 304.
The above mentioned Act of Assembly was passed Feb. 21, 1795.
The trustees might not sell any part of the meeting lands but they could do what was equivalent, lease it for 999 years, and those named in the Act of Assembly, by a deed dated 22d of 6th Mo. 1797, did lease to James Miller, son of the first grantor of the meeting land (who died in 1774), a triangular strip six perches wide at the N. W. corner of the meeting property and extending to a point 26 perches southward, con- taining 78 square perches of land.
And in the same deed James Miller granted to the trustees

an equal amount of ground on the north side of the meeting property, for the same term, thus described :- beginning at a stone in the Newport Road, thence south three and four-tenths perches to the northeast corner of the meeting land; thence westward by the same 23 perches to a stone-the northeast corner of the triangle above mentioned-thence by an exten- sion of the new west line, three and a half per. northward to another stone; thence eastward, along the north side of the graveyard wall, 22 perches to the beginning. James Miller also granted a right of way from the N. W. corner of this addition, to the Newport Road, and at the same time reserved a plot two rods square, beginning four perches from the N. W. corner, for a family burial ground; all which is recorded in P2, of deeds, page 20. It would appear that the trustees had placed the graveyard wall above this addition before the lease was executed.
On 8th Mo. 2, 1844, Isaac Richards and Joseph Sharp, the survivors of the trustees last named, conveyed the trust to John Richards, Isaac Hoopes, Amos Barnard, Jeremiah Starr, Ellwood Michener and James Gawthrop.
On 5th Mo. 23, 1882, Ellwood Michener and James T. Gawthrop, the survivors, conveyed to George Webster, J. Wal- ter Hoopes, Samuel Wickersham, Thompson Richards, Asahel Linvill and Charles T. Starr.
On Oct 8., 1907, Samuel Wickersham and Thompson Rich- ards, the survivors of these last, conveyed to William F. Dow- dall, Charles Parrish, Lawrence Thompson, H. Llewellyn Chandler, Thompson Richards and Samuel Wickersham.
The present trustees have secured a small addition at the S. W. corner in order to make the west line straight from be- ginning to end.
A road was laid out Feb. 1720-1, "from John Stroud's on ye West side of Marlborough to Mary Miller's Mill, ( Avondale) thence to New Garden Meeting House to ye road formerly laid out from ye lime kilns to New Castle."
In 1733 the road from the meeting house southward was laid out to the line of New Castle County.
