KENT Around whose "radiant fireplace" "We sped the time with stories old" PREFACE THE Maltby or Maulsby history is the result of long years of research. At first in carefully picked steps generation after generation backward, and then by leaps and bounds to that grand old record, the Domesday Book. Owing to our Quaker ancestry and the careful preserva- tion of the Quaker records, this for 230 years was a compar- atively easy matter, and William Maltby, the convert to Quakerism, was soon located in Nottinghamshire, England, in the little village of Orston, where some of the family still live, and from which C. W. Maltby writes: * 'My father, Thomas Maltby, died March 8, 1881, aged 101 years and 101 days." Before 1676 we have not attempted a connected history, although it could doubtless be traced much further by the aid of the long list of Maltby wills, going back many years be- fore the sailing of Columbus, and by other records that carry us back to the Domesday Book, with which "Malteby" our history will begin. We look backward with pride, and justly, to the early Quaker settlement of Pennsylvania, but are apt to forget or scarcely realize the great changes that have taken place dur- ing these years. That our Quaker ancestors suffered many privations and dwelt in rude abodes, that school houses were of later origin, and that education was within the reach of very few, comparatively speaking, is hard to realize. They truly lived "The Simple Life." Our history takes us back to still ruder conditions in England. Even into the history of the old "Manor house," whose name seems to carry a certain glamor of distinction with it, it is not wise to examine too closely, or the wooden a THE MAULSBY FAMILY structure of one or two rooms, with dirt floor and thatched roof with opening for the escape of smoke, would dispel many of the illusions to which we cling. Our modern society is all too prone to judge a man by his possessions, and his ability to gain more, and so value him, overlooking the things of greater worth. In speaking of the early Friends Bishop Westcott has said: "Fox was able to shape a character in those who fol- lowed him, which for independence, for truthfulness, for vigor, for courage, for purity is unsurpassed in the records of Christian endeavor.'' Such a character as this was William Maltby's— what more in an ancestor could we desire or ask ? He had back of him, too, a sturdy race of "freemen," against whose name history has recorded no blot or blemish. The gift of a "nine-hundred-year-old name" is something of which to be proud, and it is ours to guard and keep un- sullied, and link with a history of character above reproach, so that, again, of us it may one day be truly said: "The glory of children are their fathers." — Proverbs xvii, 6. SOURCES OF INFORMATION THE desire for a Maulsby family history seems to have originated in the three branches of the family, near the same time. Cora M. Payne (of William), in her "Genealogy of the Maulsby Family" (Western Branch), 1902, states that she is carrying out the wishes of and using material gathered by her grandmother, Lucinda Maulsby Davis. The records of Plymouth Meeting were searched and a family tree drawn up by Samuel Maulsby Corson (of Mer- chant) and, later, corrected by his sister Helen Corson Hovenden. It is hard to give date for the history of David. I think it began near fifty years ago when, as a little girl at my grand- mother's knee, I first listened to the story of Mary Laugh- arne. Later researches included the genealogy and some history of the other branches. It was while corresponding with Isaac Sharp, of Devon- shire House, London, in regard to the marriage certificate and other Friends' records relating to our emigrant ancestors, that I learned of the researches of Helen Corson Hovenden, and on comparing notes with her found that in all points, so far as covered by us both, our records were the same, or veri- fied each other. At this time Mrs. Hovenden kindly aided me by allowing me to copy several deeds and the marriage certificate of William Maltby, papers that were not then in my possession. Believing that the sources of information will be inter- esting to our readers, we give some of them, among which are a few of the many interesting letters written over twenty years ago by different members of the family, few if any of whom are now living. (1) 2 THE MAULSBY FAMILY Westminster, July 30th, 1885. My Dear Miss Ella:— I very much regret that I am without means to aid you in your un- dertaking, in which however I feel the deepest interest. My cousin, Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, died a few years ago at over 90 years of age, and was followed shortly after by Mr. Nathan Dean, both of Harford Co. They could have gone far back into the family history, but the idea of tracing it never occurred to me until a few years ago I met with Dr. Maulsby of Washington. It has been the tradition in our family, as I understand it, that my grandfather and grandmother lived in York, Pa., during the Revolution- ary War, and during the war or shortly after, came to Belair. They had but one child, my father. General Israel D. Maulsby. I recollect that in my youth, David Maulsby, of Bush, a blacksmith, was recognized by my father as a cousin. He removed to Richmond, Indiana, where his de- scendants are men of character and prosperity, as I have been informed. My grandfather and grandmother are buried at the Friends' Meeting House, near Fallston, and I presume belonged to that. Really I know no particulars. It is possible that Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers, who lives with Mr. Hewitt, Hanover St., a short distance below the market house, might know more. Yours truly. A^ Mia^ Miss Ella K. Barnard. It was also a family tradition that a member of the family built the first iron works, in Pittsburg, but failed for want of fire brick; and the family thence descended the Ohio River, a branch settling near Wheeling, where they yet are, and a branch settling in Missouri, where I heard of one, a respectable lawyer. One, Benjamin Maulsby. came to Leesburg, Va., and married Miss Markell, of Frederic. I have also heard that there is a large and wealthy family in Iowa, but I know no particulars. Belair, January 4th, 1885. Miss Barnard: I am sure you will excuse my not answering your letter when I tell you I have been sick for several weeks. My knowledge of the older members of the family is meager. My father's name was Israel D. Maulsby, grandfather's David Maulsby. I do not know the name of his father. My grandparents, also a sister and THE MA ULSBY EAMIL Y 3 her husband, came to Maryland soon after the Revolution, I think in 1783. Grandpa had an only child, son, who was my father; his aunt and uncle had two daughters, one of whom died early in life, the other, Mrs. Brown, a few years ago. She knew much more of the family history than I can tell, of relations by the name of Hicks and other names you mention that I never saw. Aunt and Uncle were first cousins, both Maulsbys, all de- scended from John and Mary [incorrecf], who came to the country with William Penn and settled in Pennsylvania. All the family were Friends and friendly to the English government, as perhaps you know. My father was the only member who was different in political sentiment. That, I presume, is one reason why we know so little of the family. Cousin Brown, who died at 86 years of age, was better posted in fam- ily history: she had the old family Bible. Dr. Maulsby of Washington, a retired surgeon of the U. S. Navy, wrote me for all the information I could give, as his nephew, Mr. Cor- son, was making a family tree. I will see you in the spring, if you like. Mrs. Bouldin can bring about a meeting, when by your knowledge I may be able to think of some things that I do not now. I have three brothers living: one in Oregon, one in Maryland, one in Indiana. I hope you will be able to read this scrawl : although it contains but little information. With best wishes I am Very respectfully, M. M. Howard. 914 Farragut Square, Washington, D. C, September 13th, 1886. Miss Ella K. Barnard, Dear Madam: — I had the pleasure to receive your two letters, dated Aug. 18th, 1885, and Aug. 31st, 1886, respectively. The former did not give me your address and, not writing for want of it, you must have been at a loss to account for the seeming discourtesy of my long silence. I had your address, in a former letter, but unfortunately it was overlooked and destroyed with many others, in the general sacrifice I am in the habit of making on the eve of leaving home for the summer. With this ex- planation I trust you will exonerate me from any intentional neglect to reply to your interesting letter, which together with the last bears evi- dence of so much patient research. You ask what authority my nephew Mr. Corson had for making John and Mary Maulsby (not Maltby) the parents of the family. I can only give you my belief in reply— that he copied his statements from the minutes of Plymouth Meeting and that he was a person of great accuracy in such matters. There are certain coincidences between the Race St. record and the Plymouth one, as for example Merchant was born at sea in 1699; but in his parentage and spelling his name there is a difference. Again, 4 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y according to the Race St. record, David the 2d, born 1750, married Sarah Reese, whereas in the Plymouth record William married Rose Rees in 1732. There seems to be inextricable and irreconcilable confusion in these records, and I do not pretend to be able to entangle them. The Towsontown lady mentioned by Mrs. Rogers as having made a family tree of the Maulsbys, and referred to in your letter of '85, I have never heard of. Please accept my sincere thanks for your kind letters and your ef- forts to bring order out of confusion in our family genealogies. Should you think it worth while to pursue the subject further and make any new discoveries, I shall feel greatly obliged if you will communicate them to yours Very respectfully. yCl4^ In a letter dated Jan. 24, 1885, Dr. Maulsby wrote:— I have been at the 'Rising Sun' Tavern in the neighborhood of Phila- delphia, but know nothing of it in connection with our family history. My nephew, who took such pains in making up our family tree, is no longer living, and it is not probable I will get any further information on this interesting subject, unless the annals of your branch of the family should furnish it; and when you shall have made out your tree, I will feel greatly indebted to you for a copy, which you have so kindly promised. Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 14, 1885. Ella K. Barnard, Dear Cousin:— I enclose you a list of my father's children and living grand-children, with that of one great-grand-child. You will observe that we are not a prolific family. I do not understand from your letter that you wish the dates of birth and marriage, but if you do, let me know and I will try to procure them all. Only a part of these records are in my possession, those relating to my own immediate branch. I am writing to my brother, S. R. McConnell, of BurUngton, Iowa, to forward you all the facts in the old family records, that will be of use to you. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 5 He is so deeply engrossed with his business that I cannot promise you immediate attention, but I think he will attend to it as soon as he can. I have led such a busy life that I have never had time to collect and arrange my family records and traditions, but have always hoped and am now planning for a season of leisure in which to undertake the work. I now regret deeply that I did not make more notes during my father's lifetime, as I have forgotten much that I have heard him relate. I should like very much to hear your version of the Laugharne romance, and if you have seen the home of our noted Welsh ancestress. I noted in a sketch of "The Wild Welsh Coast" by Wirt Sikes in (I think) the March number of Harpers' Magazine, 1884, a mention of Laugharne Castle which you probably also read. I fear it will be impossible to get the names of the children of David and Mary Malsby, as I have always been told the papers bearing upon the case were put in the hands of an agent authorized to secure the estate for the heirs, and were lost with him at sea. Cousin Beulah Harris told me this. I suppose she is very aged if living. The last time I heard from her my father visited her in Philadel- phia during the Centennial. The other David Maulsby I can tell you nothing of, but suppose he is the one buried at Rock Spring Church, near Forrest Hill, in Harford Co., Md., as I used to take great interest in looking upon his tomb in the yard when I went to school there as a child, and although I asked my grand- mother about him I cannot remember her account of him. I think you might get some data from Mrs. Mary Dallam, of Belair, widow of Col. Wm. T. Dallam, who was a daughter of old Colonel Maulsby, of Belair. Her brother, Wm. Maulsby, did live in Westminster, Md. , before and dur- ing the war, but I know not whether he is now living or not. I have mentioned these points, thinking possibly you might find some- thing in them to help you in your work, in which I am greatly interested. I regret deeply that I cannot furnish you more assistance. Do not hesi- tate to ask any questions that you think I may be able to answer, as I will gladly do all I can. I hope you may be able to complete your work and that I may have an opportunity of seeing it. You must be the daughter of my cousin, Susanna Kent.* I believe she married a Barnard; and my dear cousin Maria! How your letter carried me back to those early golden days when we were young and she was lovely. I have her picture now and often look at it, when turning over the relics of my youthful years. I knew she married a man named Davis and went to Staunton to live, and that during the war she was for a long time cut off from her friends; but had not heard a word since. I should like to hear about her and her family. Please give her my tenderest remembrances and ask her if she has the time and inclination to write me something of her history. ♦Susanna Kent married William Worthington. Mary Anna Kent married John Barnard. 6 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y You say she is in the South. I wonder if in our section, or likely to pass through it. If so, nothing could afford us so much pleasure as a visit from her. I suppose her parents are dead, or if living they must be very aged. Her mother viras one of my father's favorite cousins, and a visit from those cousins he prized very much. I have heard him tell how beautiful she was as a girl. I hope I have not become tiresome with my reminiscences, but I pre- sume upon your interest in family matters, as evinced in your work. My family is small, as you can see from the records, my husband, daughter Anna and myself constituting it. One married daughter lives in the same yard, so we see her family every day. My husband has been practicing medicine here since we came from Ohio, sixteen years ago, and the probabilities are that we shall make this our home the rest of our lives. Should any chance throw you in this di- rection, we should want to see you and renew the ties of kindred. With love to any of the family that may remain, I am, affectionately, your cousin, Sallie C. Price. 404 Georgia Ave. P. S. — I find I have omitted answering one or two of your ques- tions, which I am only able partially to do. Samuel McConnell raised Lucretia Parr, who I suppose is the niece of my grandmother's that you inquire about. I do not remember the name of the man she married. I can barely remember her, as she left their house when I was very young. I recollect that she was pretty and sprightly. She had a daughter [her- self'\, a widow, who kept a little china store on Eutaw St. near Saratoga, I think about twenty -five years ago, perhaps thirty, but I do not remem- ber her name. The Parrs took to china,* I think, as David [Preston] Parr had a china store somewhere in Baltimore [on Baltimore St.], There was a Maggie Parr, from Richmond, Va., I think, who assisted Cousin Beulah Harris in her store on Lexington St., during the war, but I do not know of her further. Cousin Mary Shoemaker if living could probably give you information about the Parr family, as well as others. I suppose she is, if living, in Philadelphia, as she was there the last time I heard from her. You may know all about her. I do not know if Angelina Orr left any descendants. I recollect her death is recorded in the old family Bible, but nothing further. S. C. P.

THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 31 Other Branches of the Maltby Family There are at least two other branches of the Maltby fam- ily in America: — The first of these is descended from William Maltby, Esq. , born 1645, who with his brother John emigrated to New England about 1666. John Maltby, of New Haven, m. Mary, dau. of Richard Bryan, of Milford, had John and Mary, and was lost atsea, 1676. June 10, an invent, of £58. Had a prefix of respect and was probably a valuable man. Mary m. Rev. J. Fordham. William, Branford, 1667, in 1673 was cornet of the New Haven troop and left descendants. — Am. Biography. Sarah Davenport first married Capt. Wm. Maltby, of New Haven. Three children. Their son. Rev. John Maltby, graduated at Yale, 1747. Wm. Maltby married, first, Hannah , and second, Abigail, daughter of the Deputy Governor (of Conn.), James Bishop, and left the fol- lowing children: — 1. Jane, who married Mar. 4, 16|*,o-, David Palmer, 6 Apr., 1668. 2. John, m. Aug. 13, 1696, Hannah Lord. 3. Mary, b. May 1, 1672. 4. William, b. Jan. 9. 1673, m. Eliz. dau. of John Morris. 5. Elizabeth, b. Apr. 30, 1676, m. Abraham Hoadley, Mar. 14, 169|. 6. Daniel, b. May 19, 1679, m. Esther Moss, Oct. 27, 1702 (second wife) . 7. Samuel, b. Aug. 7, 1693, m. Elizabeth Parker, Dec. 8, 1715. 8. Jonathan, b. July 26, 1698, m. Mrs. Sarah Potter, Sept. 25, 1719. This branch of the family is now being traced by Mrs. Clarence Verrill, of Soulsbyville, California, who is likewise Secretary of the "Maltby Association, " of which Mr. George E. Maltby, of Phila., is presi- dent. The second branch of the family, one that seems to be closely akin to our own, is descended from William and Jane Maltby, of Orston, Nottinghamshire. We publish their genealogy in part, as compiled by Prof. E. M. Blake, of the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona. See Appendix. From the Dictionary of Biography we take the following: Edward Maltby [see appendix], bishop of Durham, was born in the parish of St. George, Norwich, April 6, 1770. He was conspicuous for his Greek scholarship. In his 86th year he was retired by a special act of Parliament on a pension of £4500 a year. He died in his 90th year at 4 Portland Place, London. His portrait, painted by Sir Wm. Beechey in 1832, is at Durham. 32 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y William Maltby, a cousin of the above (1763-1854), was born in Lon- don. Was a life-long friend of Samuel Rogers, and with him made an assault on Johnson's door and fled before the irate countenance and voice of thunder that met them there. He was a lawyer and bibliographer.— English Biographies. Bishop Maltby refused the archbishopric of Canterbury. He was the last of the "prince bishops." He was granted arms in 1829. The family were of Yorkshire origin. George Maltby, bi'other of Bishop Maltby, died in Baltimore. He was owner of the "Maltby House." His gravestone contains the follow- ing: "A Memorial to Mr. George Maltby, a native of Norwich in Great Britan, who departed this life near the city of Baltimore, U.S.A., in the 45th year of his age, A. D. 1807." "He met with a fatal accident." Sept. 17 (?). He was born Sep. 26, 1765. [His age given above is not correct.— Prof. E. M. Blake.] Captain, afterwards Sir Nicholas, Maltby was in Ulster in 1575, and later we find him stationed there as military governor of Connaught.— Bagwell's Ireland under the Tudors, p. 338, 340-344, Vol. H. Weldrake refers to Richard Maulsby's reconstructing a fortress in the time of King John. [Notes have been lost.] WILLIAM AND MARY MALTBY Authentic History "Push inquiry to the birth and springtime of our state." THE beginning of our authentic connected history dates from the time when William Maltby of the little town of Orston, in Nottinghamshire, became a convert to Quakerism. It was during a season of stress and storm in England, of struggle against political oppression and religious intolerance, that the early Friends arose, and suffered perse- cution with other religous dissenters for the right to live and worship in freedom, each one according to the dictates of his own conscience. In Nottinghamshire, George Fox made his first convert and was there first imprisoned. In his " Journal" he tells of "going down into Nottinghamshire and finding there a 'ten- der people, " and later, "that the mighty power of God was then amongst Friends. ' ' It is likely that he won early recognition also, for, per- haps, his earliest legal victory was the establishment there of the legality of Friend's Marriages in 1661. (Cropper's Not- tinghamshire. ) William Maltby was one of the early converts to Quak- erism, and during the years that followed the special acts is- sued for their repression he suffered* with them. In that quaint old book, "Besse's Sufferings of Friends," the following records occur: "May 28th, 1676, William Maultby, of Orston. -For a meeting held about the same Time at the house of Rowland Dabney, they took from *By the Conventicle Aet of l(iG4, all persons who met in greater numbers than five, for any religious worship save that of the Comraon Prayer, were punished with fine, imprisonment and transportation on a third ollence.

"And from William Maultby, Robt. Bullivant and John Smith they took goods to the amount of 1 1 15s." And two months earlier: "The 28th day of the 3d moneth, 1676.

In Oct. 1685: "for a meeting at Sleanor goods were taken from Rich- ard Malsby valued at ;^0 6s 8 pence." In 1694 "William Maultby* of Estwood (Meeting) in the County of Nottingham had hay and a goose taken from him to the value of 5s by Peter Lolly well priest of the Towne aforesaid."

Our English Home The village of Orston, Nottinghamshire, is a very short distance from Elton station on the Great Northern Railway. It is 114 >^ miles from London, and 12 miles from Notting- ham, Q]i miles northeast of Bingham. t St. Mary's Church, Orston, is ancient, being a mixture of the Norman and perpendicular styles, and comprises chancel, clerestoried nave of three bays, aisles, south porch and low Norman tower, in which are four bells and clock. Services on Sunday twice a day. It is principally seated with chairs. There is a school in the village. The living is a vicarage, good house with the chapelry of Thoroton, about a mile away, ♦This was probably Wm. Maltby the emigrant, probably son of the former Wm.Maltby. At this time he seems to have been a yeoman or farmer. Other "sufferers" of Eastwood were William Day and Luke Hanke. The latter doubtless the ancestor of John Hanke of the Plymouth Settlement, who was prob- ably the child friend of John Maltesby, both belonging to Eastwood Meeting. f'All the world and Bingham," is an old Nottinghamshire saying; originating perhaps in an old sign telling that goods would be delivered to all parts of the world and to Bingham.

There is also a Wesleyan Chapel, but no Quaker meeting-house. The Orston Register dates from 1589. In the churchyard are several very nice trees; there are some fine yews. It is well kept. There are several grave stones in it, to the memory of some Maltbys, who died -1754, 1760, 1762, 1763, 1783, 1784, 1788, 1828, 1846, and others of more recent date. There is a spa of mineral water near the village, said to be a good remedy for scorbutic complaint. Earl Manvers is Lord of the Manor. Belvoir Castle, the seat of His Grace the Duke of Ruth- land, is about six miles from here. His son, the Marquis of Granby, attained his majority a few weeks ago, when there was great rejoicing. From letter of C. W. Maltby, Oct. 23, 1907, Chestnut House, Orston, Nottinghamshire. Also from a later letter: The population of Orston parish in 1891 was 408, and in 1901, 370. Farming is the principal employment for the men of the parish. Several of the females do lace clipping, which they receive almost daily from Nottingham. There is gypsum in the parish, and plaster of Paris is manufactured there. Eastwood is 8 1/2 miles beyond Nottingham, 20 1/2 miles from Orston. The older Maltby stones in the churchyard are illegible. The follow- ing and others are also there: "Here lies the body of Elizabeth Maltby, died Oct. 29, 1754, aged 29 years." "Here lieth the body of John Maltby, who departed this life May 9, 1762, aged 80 years." "Elinor Maltby, wife of William Maltby, died March 5, 1763, aged 29 years." "Here lies the body of Mary Maltby, wife of John Maltby, who de- parted this life June 24, 1769, aged 54 years." "In memory of John Maltby, who departed this life August 4th, 1781, aged 69 years." "WiUiam Maltby, who departed this life Oct. 26, 1783, aged 68 years. " "Sacred to the memory of George Maltby. Died May 24, 1846. In the 96th year of his age." "In affectionate remembrance of George Maltby, who died March 19, 36 THE MAULSBY FAMILY 1868; aged 48 years. Clayton, his son, died Oct. 17, 1880, in his 18th year." "In loving memory of Charles, son of George and Elizabeth Maltby. Born Sept. 8th, 1865, died Dec. 15th, 1900." The Emigrant William Maltby, of Orston, Nottingham, attended meet- ing at Rowland Dabney's house, and was probably a member of Eastwood Friends meeting, where an early record says "there was a monthly meeting." Our records however have been preserved by Chester- field Monthly Meeting. They give the death of Mary Maltby, wife of William Maltby, "*1706/7. 12. 6." and her burial at Breach. These are supposed to be the parents of William Maltby, the emigrant to America, and this William is doubtless the one first spoken of in "Besse's Sufferings." We have no further record of him. Possibly after his wife's death he followed his son's family to America.! This same register (Chesterfield) gives the birth of Wil- liam Maltby in 1705, a son of Thomas and Rebecca Maltby — so that there were other members of the family who were Quakers. Possibly this Thomas was the brother of William Maltby the emigrant to America. Also:— "William Moltby [theemigrant] of Orson [Orston], county of Notts, married Mary Roades, of Ripley, in the County of Derby, 5th mo. 9th, 1689." They were members of Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, and from the Register of Marriages and Births of this meeting, now at Somerset House, London, their marriage certificate has been obtained and is — "Certified to be an Extract from the Register or Record numbered Society of Friends 381, and entitled A Register of Marriages and Births *This date is written according to the Friends' method. The year expressed Iractionally means 170^', "Old" or New Style."

The family name in the Friends Records is spelled:— Maltsby, Maultsby and Maltby. [Isaac Sharpe.] Mary Roads (or Roades), of Ripley, in the County of Derby, was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Roades, and was born 11 mo. 30, 1662, being the second of a large family 38 THE MAULSBY FAMILY of children, of whom Adam, born 1660, was the older brother. Her brothers, Adam and John, had been early settlers of Pennsylvania, having settled at Darby in 1684. Proud says, "they had a religious meeting regularly fixed at Darby" (1682), and gives among the first and early settlers "Edmund Cartlidge, Thomas Hood, John Bartram (father of the bota- nist) and Adam Rhoads, who all came from Derbyshire, in England." William and Mary Maltby settled at Eastwood Eastwood [Estwood, Eastwayt, Estewic, Eswaicte], or St. Mary's Eastwood, is a parish in Notts, 9 miles N. W. by W. from Nottingham, containing 2184 inhabitants. There is a cattle fair held there annually. Some of the inhabitants are engaged in stocking weav- ing. There is coal in the parish that is mined at a depth of from five to fifty yards below the surface. It was one of the early Quaker neighborhoods. When the members of the clergy were called on in 1669 to report meetings in their neighborhoods, Thomas Howitt, curate, reports from Eastwood— "There is a monthly meet- ing of Quakers at this place. The number of persons that attend are sometimes forty, more or less." This Thomas Howitt himself became a Friend and was the paternal ancestor of the famous Nottinghamshire family of that name. The father of Mary Maltby, John Roades, with most of his children, finally settled in or near Philadelphia. No doubt profiting by the accounts sent home from the brothers and friends already there, William Maltby decided to go first to America and procure a home for his rapidly increasing little family. We have no record of his coming, but from the fol- lowing deed we find he was already here in the latter part of the summer of 1698.

A few months later, about Jan. , 1699, Mary Maltby fol- lowed her husband to America. Her father and sister and two younger brothers probably accompanied her, sailing on the ship "Bristol Merchant," of which John Stevens was captain. Her little son, born on shipboard, was given the name Merchant, from the vessel that carried them safely over. In the Chestnut street home that they found awaiting them they began the new life, with bright prospects, and surrounded here also by many kindred and friends. The children of William Maltby and Mary his wife, as re- *Jolin and Michael Blunston came from Derbyshire, England, In 1G82, and set- tled at Darby, Pa. They belonged to the same Friends' meeting in England as the Roades family. Adam Roades married the daughter of John Klunston. Michael's 2nd wife was an eminent minister. He died in 1730. He left £80, "to be employed in entertaining honest Friends," and £50 "to school the children of poor Friends of Darby Meeting." 40 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y corded in the Friends Records at Race St., Philadelphia, are as follows: Records John Maltby, son of William and Mary Maltby, was born in the Parish of Estwood, in the county of Nottingham in Old England, the 4th day of 3d mo., in the year 1690. Mary Maltby, daughter of William and Mary Maltby, was born in the Parish and county above said, the 7th of 1st mo., 1692. Elizabeth Maltby, daughter of William and Mary Maltby, was born in the Parish and county above said, the 25th of the 10th mo., 1694. William Maltby, son of William and Mary Maltby, was born in the Parish of Estwood in the county of Nottingham, the 18th day of October, 1695. (8th mo., old style.) Merchant Maltby, son of William and Mary Maltby, was born at sea in y' ship called the Bristol Merc""', the 7th of 11th mo., 1698/9. David Maltby, son of William and Mary Maltby, was born in Philadelphia, the 20th of 1st mo., IHf. William Maltby, the father of the above children, died 8th mo. 14th, 1699, and was buried in Philadelphia.* There is a slight difference between the recorded dates of the births of the family here and, in England, but we have accepted the one recorded here as correct.* On the 14th day of 8 mo. (Oct.), 1699, William Maltby died, and was buried in Philadelphia. During the summer the yellow fever had raged in the city and the mortality had been great (seven or eight dying in a day) . Thomas Story, who arrived here the same year, says: "Great was the Majesty and Hand of the Lord, great was the fear that fell upon all flesh.

Amongst those numbered was William Maltby, and the bright prospects of the little family were shrouded in gloom. His will, made three days before his death, is as follows: The 11th day of ye 6th month, 1699.

Friends Records, Arch St. Possibly it was when visiting her brother, John Rhoads, or her sister, Elizabeth Dawes, in Whitemarsh, that Mary Maltby first met David Williams, or "William" as the name is written in the older records. Or, perhaps, David William supplied the Chestnut St. bakery with flour from Spring Mill. However, it came about, and the Colonial records of the day are not likely to aid us with facts concerning this later ro- mance in the life of Mary Maltby. David William was a widower with five children when married to Mary Maltby; but with his farm, ferry and mill there was doubtless work enough for them all. One more child, Joseph William, was added to the fam- ily, and the children without doubt were educated at the Ply- mouth School. This family, with the exception of the son Isaac, spelled their name William, and as the William family was a dis- tinct one, we keep the spelling as found in the original documents. Later the records seem to indicate that Joseph William also adopted the spelhng Williams. It is, how- ever, given here in every case as found in the original records. *The children were all small at this time. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 45 Spring Mill Spring Mill is situated near the Schuylkill river, on the Schuylkill Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at a station of that name near Conshohocken. David WiUiam had, in 1697, bought considerable land* in Philadelphia and in Merion. [Philadelphia Deeds: Ex- emplification Book No. 7, page 74, etc., for a tract of land in Philadelphia county containing 513 acres from Wm. Mark- ham. Also a deed from Nicholas Moore et al, dated June 11, 1711, for a tract of 66 acres in said county, recorded Deed Book E., No. 6, Vol. 7, page 227. Also deed from David Hugh situated in Merion for about 100 acres, recorded in Deed Book H., No. 4, page 230.] And probably about that time built Spring Mill, an old grist mill still standing and bear- ing such evident marks of age that there seems little risk in assigning it this date, although we have no documentary evidence that the present mill was built at this time. It is known however to date far back of Revolutionary days (1712) , and for half a century was the only mill in this section. It is believed to be the oldest mill in Pennsylvania, and possesses great interest for the lovers of antiquarian relics. It supplied the American Army with flour in 1777 during the encampment at Valley Forge, and Washington is said to have often visited it to order flour for his military family or feed for his horses. It is still capable of doing good service, and its visitor today is struck by the contrast between its ancient and hoary walls and the busy life of the interior. Floors have been worn through and replaced, and often two layers of floor are visible, but many at least of the old girders and supporting pillars are still there. Some are greatly worm eaten, but still doing duty. The mill is built "solidly of stone, and was put up in sec- tions, according to the rough customs and scanty means of the men of those days. " "It formerly had an overshot wheel of *In 1696 he subscribes £4 for lands on the Susquehanna to the Susquehanna Land Company. See Appendix. 46 THE MAULSBY FAMILY forty horse power and turned out thirty barrels of flour per day, and still prides itself on the superior quality of its flour. This is supposed to be because of the uniform flow of water in floods and droughts from the grand sources that give its name." The old overshot wheel is gone, but the ancient hip-roofed fabric still looks as if it would stand the stress and storms of another century. The ferry* was just below the mill at the bend in the river. The English traveller Sutcliff crossed at Spring Mill ferry in 1804. The Bubbling Springs In the meadow just back of the mill, perhaps within a quarter of a mile, are the "bubbling springs," the wonderful source of the Spring Mill water power. Here in a park-like meadow the beautifully clear water comes bubbling up from some unknown source, and forms at once a creek of consider- able width with a swift current that turns the mill and joins the Schuylkill just beyond. Indeed the ground seems to be a meadow of springs. We were told by Mr. Robert T. Potts, who kindly did the honors of the place for us, that the waters of the spring had been analyzed by a professor of the Penna. University and found to be of the exact composition of the waters of Lake Erie, of which he supposed that it might be an outlet. From the following interesting record it seems that Spring Mill was sold to Robert Jones and Anthony Morris on the death of David William. At the March meeting of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia Co. , in 1715, the following petition was pre- sented:— The petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of Gwynedd, Montgomery, Skippack, and other of the adjacint townships, humbly sheweth: That inasmuch as the mill late of David Williams in plymouth [the mill was situated at Spring Mill in Whitemarsh] is built on a spring *The Schuylkill could not be forded at the ferry at any season of the year, and was considered more valuable for that reason.

[They therefore ask convenient roads to it] several of which said roads have been made use for these tenn or twelve years past, but obstructed at the pleasure of ill minded and contentious persons. [They then suggest the roads as named in the record of the court, adding] and your petitioners bringing their corn to mill in order to bring the meal to markett another road wants a confirmation leading from the said mill to the Great Road from Parkysomeny to Philadelphia, without which your petitioners must labor under great hardships and difficulties, for what is more necessary than a Convenient road to places of worship and to mills and marketts" [Etc. The petition is signed by thirty persons, most of them Gwynedd people.] Various differences about the road come to light in the petitions following for its readjustment. In 1752 the road was again reviewed, and a road varying in its upper courses from the one first laid out was surveyed. It began "at Spring IMill door" and ran by thirty courses and distances, by Plymouth meeting-house, the Dutch churchland (Boehm's) to Wissahickon creek, and "North Wales road near the meeting-house." The whole length of the road was 9 miles, 7 perches. From Plymouth meeting-house to N. Wales meeting-house, 7 miles, 24 perches. According to this the Spring IMill of David William was nearly two miles from Plymouth Meeting. The mill has passed through many hands since sold by Rees William and his brother Isaac Williams after the death of their father, and the number of acres with it seems to have varied greatly, but usually a tract on either side of the river is mentioned in the deed of sale. In one deed given in 1770 it is called "the noted mill." Consideration, 2219 pounds. In 1866 it was bought by Charles L. Hamilton, for $30,000. In early days the farmers of Providence township hauled wheat to this mill to pay the quit rent on the land purchased from the proprietary government; and also to be ground before hauling it to the Philadelphia market. Mount Joy, adjacent, if not part of the original prop- erty, was owned by Pierre Legaux in Revolutionary days. 48 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y He had bees and a vineyard then, and formed a company for the purpose of carrying out this project. In it many men of note were stockholders, including Washington, Burr, Girard, and others. The vineyard was not a success, probably be- cause the European varieties of grapes were grown. An old map of the plantation says: ''Plan of Spring Mill called Montjoye, dresse par Pierre Legaux pour la corporation de la vigne de Pennsylvanie, le 5 fevrier, 1802. Cette plantation contients 65 >4 acres." The plan of the property with that of the mill, Schuyl- kill and ferry, follows. Surrounding the mill is marked as land of MM. Paul and Leversley. The house at Mount Joy is likewise an ancient one and well preserved. The present owner, a descendant of Legaux, has preserved a jar of honey from which Washington ate on one of his visits here. The house* at Spring Mill possesses almost as much in- terest as the old mill, but unfortunately no date stone is found in either building. The house is built of stone with frame work pinned with wooden pegs, and is roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is entered by a low Dutch door, whose two parts have now been nailed together, but at the opposite side of the room you can still gaze out the upper half door, which opens as in ancient times. The ceiling is very low and the windows filled with small panes of glass. Beside the wide fireplace that occupies almost an entire side of the room is a great dark marble slab forming a square sink, with opening through the outer wall, and the doorsteps are of marble from a nearby quarry. As late as fifty years ago there was still standing a log- *Sarauel JLivezey, (1760-1840, ) bcKinning when quite a young man, kept a store in the old Smoke House at Spring Mill, which his father then rented for him. The father had a mill on the Wissahickon. At this time great teams loaded with grain passed down the road to Philadelphia. The fatlier would buy the grain and on their return trip the son would supply the driver with salt, iron, groceries, etc. At first he kept liquor, as was customary at that time, but finding it caused suffering in the families of his patrons lie discontinued its sale. Jjater it became necessary to his peace of mind to abandon the sale of goods that were the product of slave labor, and also things tending to " gratify the vain mind." He was for many years a minister of Plymouth Meeting. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 49 addition on the side next the mill— probably the first shelter built for the William family in 1697. In 1702 ' 'Harverf ord Meeting consents that a week-day meeting be held by turns on Fifth-days at David Williams's, at Hugh Jones's and at Lewis Thomas's homes." This was the forerunner of Plymouth Meeting. It was afterwards discontinued at David Williams's, prob- ably at the time of his wife's death. The Maltby boys as they grew older were each taught a useful trade*— the most useful in a new country, where the establishment of a home is the first necessity. William Maltby, or Malsby as now called, was a mason. Merchant a carpenter, and David a blacksmith by trade, but all three as they grew older bought land, and with their older brother John added the title " yeoman " to their own. They tell us that there is no record of the building of Plymouth Meeting-house, and we like to think that the Maltby brothers did their full share in its building, and that the old meeting-house stands today a lasting monument to their skill and industry. In some places the early meetings record that their men shall help by turns until the completion of the building, and direct how many shall come each day for that purpose until the work be finished. At the marriage of Edward Dawes of Plymouth and Sarah Casell (Cassel) late of Abington, Spinster, at their public meeting-house in Plymouth, 4th mo. 30, 1709, David and Mary William sign the marriage certificate. Other sign- ers are Abraham, Francis and Edith Dawes, Adam, John, Joseph and Sarah Roades, and Lumley Williams. [This is supposed to have been the first marriage in Plymouth meeting- house.] 9 mo. 28, 1710, Jenis William, daughter of David William, * Before leaving England Penn drew up laws to serve for the temporary gov- ernment of his colony. Of these number XXVIII was:— "That all children within this province of the age of twelve j'ears shall be taught some useful trade or skill, to the end none may be idle, but the poor may work to live, and the rich if they become poor, may not want." 50 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y was married to Edward David of Radnor. The certificate is signed by the two fathers, Edward David and David WilHam, by Mary Wilham, Reese Wilham and Isaac Wilhams, her brothers, and by EHza* Mallsby, Phebe and Ester Wilham, the sisters. The Mary Wilham here is probably her stepmother, and if so it is the last record we have of Mary Roades (Maltby) and also of her daughter, Elizabeth Mallsby. We have no record of the death of Mary (Maltby) Will- iam. David William, of Whitemarsh, left a will dated 9, 27, 1714. In it he does not mention his wife Mary; so it is likely that she died before this time. He mentions a son, Isaac, to whom he leaves his farm. Joseph is to have 100 acres adjoining the land of Isaac when 18 years of age, and in the meantime to be maintained with suitable food and clothing and to be sent to school and * 'learnt to write a clear, legible hand. ' ' David also mentions daughters, Esther, Phebe, Dennis (Jenis), and appoints Rees Williamt executor. Proved Dec. 18, 1714., No. 21, Phila. Wills, 171 D, 17. David William was a prominent member of the Plymouth and Whitemarsh settlement. In 1698 the meeting directs that "as there has been much sickness in the family of David Williams that a Com- mittee be appointed to visit them and proffer aid." They report the following month ' 'that David Williams was glad to accept the love of Friends, but says there is no urgent need of the assistance offered. ' ' Joseph William, son of David and Mary Maltby William, was born 1 mo. 19, 1705, and at the age of 18 inherited 100 acres of land in Whitemarsh adjoining the home farm willed to his brother Isaac. He probably removed to Radnor for, 6, 26, 1729, he makes known to Haverford meeting his in- tentions of "returning to Radnor from whence he came * Eliza frequently used as a nickname for Elizabeth, fllees William owned a farm of 250 acres in 1734. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 51 recommended to us. ' ' His certificate is signed at Gwynedd M. M. of this date by Isaac Williams, Rees William, and others. His intentions of marriage had been laid before Haver- ford, 9th of 6 mo., 1729, and Joseph William, son of David and Mary Maltby William of Whitemarsh, and Sarah Griffith of Merion were married at Radnor Meeting, 7 mo. 11, 1729. Among those signing the marriage certificate were: Rees William, Isaac Williams, Adam Roades, David Maulsby, Rees William, Jr., Eliza. Williams, Jenis David, Esther David, Joseph Roades, Robert Williams, Esther Morgan, Griffith Jones,* Eliza Jones, Sarah Lloyd, Mary Walker and Mary Roberts. Here one would expect to find the names of his sisters. Jenis is of course Jenis David, but is Esther, Esther Morgan, and are either of the Elizabeths, Elizabeth Maltby, or of the Marys, Mary Maltby? The southern and westward migration of the Friends had not yet begun, and it seems probable that the Maulsby sisters at this time were living at no great distance from the family home, and would if possible be present at the mar- riage of this their youngest brother. The children of Joseph and Sarah William or Williams were: — David Williams, b. 6 mo. 9, 1730. Edward Williams, b. 8 mo. 21, 1731. Abraham Williams, b. 12 mo. 28, 1732/3. Ann Williams, b, 9 mo. 22, 1734. Mary Williams, b. 8 mo. 21, 1736. Isaac Williams, b. 1 mo. 17, 1737/8. Catharine Williams, b. 12 mo. 10, 1739. Jacob Williams, b. 1 mo. 6, 1741/2. Joseph Williams, b. 6 mo. 7, 1744. * Proud says "Griffith Jones was from Surry." He was a member of the Penn- sylvania Assembly in lti83 and 1709, and a member of the Governor's Conncil in KiiJO. "There were also Welsh families of the name of Jones. Daniel Jones of Con- shohocken brought with him a certifleate of removal for self, wife and children from Haverfordwest, Wales, dated 1699. He had many descendants. The descendants of Kobt. John, of Gwynedd (son of John ap'/rhomas) assumed the name of Jones. Samuel and Griffith John were from Pembrokeshire, but I think kept the sur- name John. Griffith John, of Merlon, (d. 1907). His son was John Grifllth, and I suppose Qrifflth became the family surname. 52 THE MAULSBY FAMILY Joseph William seems to have married again, for the record continues — children of Joseph and Hannah Williams:— Rebecca Williams, b. 3 mo. 7, 1751. Eleanor Williams, b. 6 mo. 3, 1753. Sarah Williams, b. 8 mo. 10, 1755. Joseph William was a minister amongst Friends, for in 1737 (Radnor) we find that "he having expressed a desire for a minute to visit Long Island and New England," and that the following month (at Haverford) "Friends finding nothing in his circumstances or anything else to obstruct," he was granted the requested minute. We find record of other minutes also granted to him. Between 1744-1758 his son Abraham Williams, likewise a minister, requests a certificate to visit the West Indies, * which is likewise granted. Some of the Williams family settled in North Carolina, t ♦He probably visits also while here the family or descendants of Barnaby Maulsby, his cousins. tThere are several of the Williams family belonging to Fairfax M. Meeting in Virginia, about 1745. They were from Gwynedd, and removed to North Carolina, and later to the West. They may have been brothers. Wm. Williams brought a certificate from Gwynedd, 6, 7, 1845, and removed to Cane Creek. Humphrey Williams, wife and children removed to Cane Creek, 8, 30, 1765. Jonathan Williams and wife removed to N. Carolina. Richard, son of George, requests membership in 1746, and marries Prudence Beales, and removes to Carver's Creek. He gives the land on which New Garden Meeting House was built. His grandson, Jesse, was the Plymouth teacher. The following, omitting dates, is from the records of New Garden M. Meeting: Richard Williams, son of George Williams and Prudence, daughter of John Beales of Monocacy, in Prince George Co., Province of Maryland, married 11th of 10th mo., 1746. Children: Silas, Charity, Jesse, Richard, Prudence, Matthias, Sarah, Dor- cas, Ruth, Mary, John, Ann. Richard, the father, died 1781, and was buried at New Garden, N. Carolina.

M. and a man of note in the community. The Williams family was a large one, and we have made no attempt to trace it further, but the warmest friendship continued between the two families. The Williams cousins are always signers to the marriage certificates of the Maultby descendants. Robt. Jones of Gwynedd, cordwainer, died 1745, prob- ably unmarried. He left bequests to his cousin, John Evans; to his cousin, Eliz. Evans, wife of Thomas; his cousin, Owen Evans, son of Thomas; to Edward, Thomas, Griffith and John Evans, sons of Thomas; to Cousin Peter Evans; to Cousin Thomas Grifiith; to his cousins, the children of Joseph Will- iams, etc. ♦They usually emigrated in family groups. Ye Money Scales of John Williams 54 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y Plymouth Meeting and School The history of the establishment of Plymouth Meeting-, which was largely composed of the Williams, Maltby, Rhoads, Dawes and related families, will be interesting to their de- scendants and is here given:— 1702. Friends about Plymouth of the other side of the Schoolkill pro- pose to have a meeting on first days at Hugh Jones * * and a weekly meeting the fifth day to be kept by course at David Williams', at Hugh Jones', at Lewis Thomas', which this meeting consents to, if the Quar- terly Meeting approve thereof. — (Friends Records, Haverford Meeting.) Another account says:— At North Wales a meeting house was built in the year 1700, which was but two years after the arrival of the Welsh Friends at that place. Another was built in 1712, and the first meeting for worship held therein the 19th of 9 mo. First monthly meeting was held 22d 12th mo., 1714 or 1715. Plymouth meeting-house was built a considerable time before this. The meeting was in being the 4th of the 1st month, 1688-89, and how long before is not certain. — From Smith the historian's account in Armistead's Miscellany. Ancient Record of the Settlement of Plymouth Meeting About the year 1685, the township of Plymouth was originally pur- chased and settled by James Fox, Richard Gove, Francis Rawle, John Chelson and some other Friends that came from Plymouth in old Eng- land and who dwelled here for some space of time and kept meetings for worship at the house of the said James Fox. But being most of them tradesmen and citizens, and not used to a country life, they removed to Philadelphia, by which means the place became vacant for a time. But being again purchased chiefly by Friends, viz. David Meredith, Edmond Cartledge, Thomas Owen, Isaac Price, Ellis Pugh, Hugh Jones, and divers others; and as there were several adjacent settlers in Whitemarsh, viz. John Rhoads, Abraham Dawes, David Williams and several more Friends, these in the year 1703 by the approbation of Haverford monthly meeting, unto which they then joined themselves, kept their meeting at the house aforesaid, being then in possession of Hugh Jones, where it continued for some years; and then by consent was removed to John Cartledge's house, where it also continued for some years. But settle- ments increasing, and young people coming up, it was agreed to build a meet- ing-house for the better accommodation of Friends belonging thereunto, and also the convenience of a public place of worship near the burying ground which was prefixed some time before in Plymouth aforesaid and several deceased Friends being there interred, before the Meeting-house THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 55 was built. In the year the meeting-house was erected and on the 18th day of the month the first anniversary was kept therein. And our number increasing and not having the convenience of a monthly meeting among ourselves, we joined with the Gwynedd Friends to apply to Haver- ford monthly Meeting for their approbation to hold a monthly meeting of business, which together with the consent of the Quarterly meeting of Philadelphia was obtained. The monthly meeting was agreed to to be held the last third day in every month at Gwynedd and was opened the 22nd of the 12th month 1714-15. [Friends' Miscellany Vol. III.] Unfortunately the date of the erection of the Plymouth Meeting house was left a blank, but it was probably about 1710. From Gwynedd Monthly Meeting— 11 mo. 22, 1714-15. It is agreed that the monthly meeting for Gwynedd and Plymouth meetings is to be called by the name of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, to be held the last Third day in every month, unless occation appears for another day. John Evans is appointed by this meeting to be clerk for ye same. Edward Foulke and Robert Jones overseers. 1722. This meeting hath had in Consideration afternoon meetings, & it is agreed yt our first day morning's meeting begin at 10 o'clock, and in the afternoon at four o'clock." 2 mo. 25, 1725. Gwynedd First day morning meeting to begin at 10 o'clock by reason of ye afternoon meeting being held at several places." The first grant of Plymouth to Fox and Rawles was sur- veyed in 1686, and Thomas Holme, Surveyor General of the Province, was directed by the Commissioners to survey 5,000 acres of land together for a township, in the most convenient place for waters for the encouragement of the woolen in- dustry, which was intended. This original survey seems to have included 600 acres originally laid out by Penn for a town. On one of the earliest maps of Pennsylvania, this town is marked laid out in a one-mile square. As early as 1685 the people here petitioned for a "cart road" to Philadelphia. This is the present Germantown and Perkiomen pike, which was completed on the older road in 1804. In speaking of the Friends of Gwynedd M. Meeting, Howard Jenkins says: "It is impossible to study the records of this early period of the Colony's experience without being impressed with the evident strength of character and the 56 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y sincere religious nature of those who composed it. The ten- dencies and convictions of the people of Gwynedd at that time were obviously those of a simple and sincere body of Christians, closely united in feeling and maintaining in an unusual degree the primitive virtues of life." The Monthly Meeting had at one time as many as four- teen approved ministers. Of these Ellis Pugh, Rowland Ellis and William Trotter belonged to Plymouth particular meeting. The two former were from Dolgelley, Merioneth, Wales. Of Ellis Pugh his memorial says: "His ministry was Hving, profitable and to edification." He was honorable among his friends and of good report among all people generally, there- fore his memory will not soon wear out." "He slept with his fathers on the 3d day of the tenth month, 1718, in favour with God." Rowland ElUs "was endued with a gift in the ministry," and "his service was accepted, " * * * "being of sound judgment, ready and willing to assist his neighbors and friends in all cases, [civil or religious, when desired. " He died 1729. ' 'Concerning whom we trust, it may be said, he rests, enjoying the reward of the righteous, and his works do fol- low." William Trotter lived longer. ' 'His ministry was sound and savory. In his life and conversation he was grave, yet innocently cheerful, and strictly just in his dealings, also a lover and promoter of peace, unity and brotherly love amongst Friends. ' ' ' 'He departed this life on the 19th of tenth month, 1749 * * * to receive a heavenly reward of peace. ' ' The Village Plymouth Meeting is a settlement of Friends three miles from Norristown, Pennsylvania, and now scarcely more than double that distance from the Philadelphia limits. The home of David William was in Whitemarsh township, now known to be at Spring Mill on the Schuylkill River. The Plymouth Settlement was largely made up of En- glish and Welsh, who if not at first related soon became so THE MAULSBY FAMILY 57 by intermarriages amongst them. The Rhodes, the Dawes, and the Maulsby family of Whitemarsh, descended from a a common ancestor (John Roades) and married into the Wil- hams, Reese, Johns, Thomas, Morris, Harry, Jones and other well known Welsh families. The trolley that now connects Norristown with Plymouth seems singularly out of place when it enters the shady avenue leading past the meeting-house, on either side of which are roomy, substantial colonial mansions of stone, with a delight- ful air of dignity, of mystery and unwritten history, about them. They comprise the village of Plymouth Meeting, and the usual signs of village growth, the modern frame dwell- ings, are happily absent. In the old homesteads, however, there is no lack of progress or of culture, and the men and women that they send forth are foremost in their chosen field of labor. The meeting-house in its roomy grounds is surrounded by sycamores and oaks, some of which give evidence of a century's growth. Beyond it is the old graveyard, that was already in use before the building of the meeting-house. In it older part, David and Mary Maltsby William sleep in un- marked graves. Many others of the family are doubtless buried there, —Merchant and Elizabeth Maulsby and their chil- dren and grandchildren, but at this time there are few stones standing in the graveyard bearing the Maulsby name. This is partly because the older Friends objected to the erection of tombstones, and partly because a later generation becom- ing warped in that direction, destroyed many of those already existing. Doubtless in those days it was easy to identify the few graves of the settlement, and they were carefully tended by loving hands. Could the men of the older time have re- alized, however, the satisfaction a simple mark would be to the later generations of their descendants, the old stones and others would be there today. The meeting-house was built at two separate times. The first part, as has been stated, was built of limestone, about 1710, and the other part, of a brownish sandstone, was added to it 58 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y for a school. One hundred pounds of the money used for this purpose was left by a member of the Williams family. While in the yard was a log stable for the use of the boys riding horseback and coming from a distance,* as they often did to attend school, especially during the winter months, when they often came from a distance of six or seven miles. Among its teachers were Jesse Williams and Josiah Albertson. It is conjecture again, and yet almost certain, that Joseph William and some at least of his older brothers and sisters attended school here. Later, about 100 years ago, a new "eight square" school- building was erected, when the former became needed for meeting purposes, because of the increased growth of the community. The old octagonal building has now disappeared, and a still newer and larger building has taken its place. The Plymouth Meeting School was the only school in the township until after the Revolution. This building is situat- ed in the Meeting-house yard and is under the care of the Friends' Preparative Meeting of Plymouth. There seem to have been several funds left for school purposes by the members of Plymouth Meeting. Among them was that for the Williams School. The Williams School In 1813, Isaac Williams and Ann his wife deeded a lot con- taining 90 perches to Samuel Maulsby, Joseph Williams, Jr. , Knowles Lancaster, David Wilson, Isaiah Bell and George Martin, trustees, * 'for the benevolent purpose of educating children in school learning." Soon after an "eight square" building was erected, and for many years a school was held here under the direction of a committee appointed by Plymouth Preparative Meeting. In 1856, Joseph Williams and Knowles Lancaster, surviv- ing trustees, transferred the property to Charles Williams, *Davld Rittenhouse, the astronomer, was said to have attended school here. He was a farmer boy, and his plough was always covered with astronomical calcula- tions in chalk that he worked out while plowing. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 59 Lewis A. Lukens, Isaac Williams and others of Whitemarsh township. This old octagonal too was replaced by a modern building, and it is now under the care of the Board of the District of Whitemarsh. The Hannah Williams School The Hannah Williams school was a noted one in its day. It was for many years a boarding school. It was kept in one of the roomy old stone houses in the village. Deeds The first deed for the property of the Plymouth Meeting, from Lumley Williams to Isaac Pice, William Dickinson and Abraham Dawes, of Plymouth, and John Rhodes of Whitemarsh, was for 1 acre and 9 perches of land, and the consideration was two pounds. This was probably the origi- nal graveyard, to which from time to time land was added. In the next deed, granted in 1730, among the trustees are Rees Williams of Plymouth and Abraham Dawes, Jr., of Whitemarsh. In 1788 Isaac Williams is a trustee. Usually some one of the Williams family is represented in the trustees. In the Revolution Plymouth Meeting-house was for a time used as a hos- pital after the battle of Germantown, but not much seems to be known about its history during the Revolution. Samuel Maulsby, who was a boy at the time, remembered the arrival of the British troops here on the morning of May 20, 1778, and that they halted about an hour and a half by the meeting-house. They were on their way to attack Laf- ayette at Barren Hill. This delay is thought to have allowed Lafayette to make his escape. A curious letter from Brigadier General Mordecai Gist, commander of the "Baltimore Independent Company," has been preserved. It is dated ' 'Camp at Plymouth Meeting- house, the 13th day of the 12th mo., 1777." 60 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y "Friend John: I have these two nights past taken up my quarters in this House of contemplation, around which the antient fathers sleep in silent dust in emblematic representation of their silent meetings — nor can they stir from home until the spirit moveth them to rise, to speak, with fear and trembling." The Plymouth settlement was one of the first made in Montgomery Co. , and appears marked on an early map in 1698. It seems to have been from the first a prosperous and in- fluential settlement. Wm. Penn, in a letter from England to Thomas Lloyd, dated 14th of 4th mo., 1691, says: "Salute me to the Welsh Friends, and the Plymouth Friends— indeed to all of them." The first record of burial here is in 1690. John Rees was appointed the first recorder of births and burials, etc. , 25th 12 mo., 1722. Diagonally across the road from the Meeting-house is the old Samuel Maulsby homestead, now the residence of Helen C. Hovenden, and in it many treasures of art are gathered. The Meeting-house was burned in 1867, 2nd mo. 13. It was supposed the fire originated from hot ashes in the cellar. Meeting House Rebuilt The Meeting-house was then rebuilt, the old walls being used. Among the committee appointed for this purpose were Alan W. Corson, Elias Hicks Corson, John G. and Charles Williams. The work was completed 10th month 24, 1867, expenditure $5949.93, of which $5870.65 had been collected. Formerly there were two small porch roofs over the doors of the Meeting-house. When taken away to build the present porch, one was placed by Thomas Hovenden over his studio door, and George Corson [son of Elias H. Corson] took the other, placing it over a door at his home, that they might be preserved. General History The Maltbys can lay no claim to the Quaker patent of nobility— the coming to America with William Penn, on THE MAULSBY FAMILY 61 either his first or second voyage, although such claim has been made in a recent genealogy. Proud, in his history of Pennsylvania, tells us that: — "In the sixth month of the year, 1699, William Penn, with his wife and family, took shipping for Pennsylvania; and on the third day of the next following month, from on board the ships, lying in Cowe's road near the Isle of Weight, he took farewell of his Friends, in a valedictory epistle, di- rected to all the people called Quakers in Europe (Epistle dated "Cowes, Isle of Weight, weighing anchor, the 3d of the Seventh month, 1699.") He sailed on the 6th of the same month, and was near three months out at sea; so that he did not arrive in Pennsylvania until the beginning of the Tenth month (December), when a dangerous and contagious dis- temper, called the Yellow Fever, having raged in the pro- vince, and carried off great numbers of the people, had ceased." The "Canterbury" arrived at Chester, 1st of 10th month Dec. (O.S.), 1699, and proceeded to Philadelphia. As Emigrants The early Friends were proverbially a restless people, with no particular attachment for their new home, where they often did not tarry long enough to take root in the soil, but were swept onward toward the south and west by the great waves of emigration that rolled over the land. They went usually in family groups, often in search of better land or more congenial surroundings. John Maltby, the eldest son, early disappeared from the Plymouth settlement, remaining a while in Philadelphia, and dying in North Carolina in 1758. Nor did the other brothers escape the restless fever of the pioneer's blood. This was particularly true of the family of William the second son. Merchant alone died in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, but his grandchildren too, though in smaller numbers, mi- grated. 62 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y David Malsby, like his older brothers, soon sought a new state, and his grandchildren became pioneers in the [then] far West. Possibly their very large inheritance of Welsh blood tended to bind families into emigrant groups. It was in such groups as this that they usually emigrated, establishing in the new settlements, as soon as possible, the Meeting (Quaker) and the School. The Welsh family group, or Wele, consisted of parents, children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, who all lived together until all the grandsons were dead, and then sub- divided. This is hardly comprehensive, as by this time other gen- erations had been added. Owen makes the family group consist of nine generations. He says : "Under the ancient British constitution a man's pedigree was in reality his title deed by which he claimed his birth- right in the country. Everyone was obliged to show his descent through nine generations, in order to be acknowledged a free native — by which right he claimed his portion of land. A person past the ninth descent formed a new family. Every family was represented by its elders, who were dele- gates to the National Council. "In enforcing the laws, too, the knowledge of the nine generations was necessary. For instance, if a murder was committed, a fine was levied on the nine generations, the broth- ers paying the most, and the fine so raised was distributed in a similar way in the family of the murdered man. " The Ways By Which They Went The- upper westward roads of migration were, from York County to the Cumberland Valley to Shippensburg, where the ways divided. One branch going down the Cumberland Valley into Maryland, followed the Potomac to Fort Cumberland and along the line of Braddock's march, crossed the Alleghenies into Pennsylvania over the Laurel Ridge to Beesontown to Redstone Old Fort.* *Reditone was in Fayette Co., 14 miles South of Pittsburg. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 63 The other route was directly west from Shippensburg-, over the mountains, following the old military road through Ft. Littleton and Bedford to Redstone. The Revolution At the breaking out of the American Revolution, of the children of ; William and Mary Maltby, Merchant took the oath of allegiance and sided openly with the colonies, for which he is censured by the meeting, with which he after- ward makes his peace. His son Morris was in the American army. The family of David, the younger brother, were non- resistants— taking no part in the war and allowing their property to be ''distrained" at various times to pay the dif- ferent war taxes. The accounts of property taken were carefully kept by the "Meetings of Sufferings." David's wife was a Royalist. Of the family of William, his son David took the part of the Colonies. Mrs. Howard states that the family were Royalists. I think they, being Quakers, were more likely to have been non-resistants. Family Traits The earlier Maulsbys are said to have been fair, with blue eyes and light hair. They had strong features. This was true of the women as well as of the men of the family. They had a rippling softness of speech, in the utterance of their "thee's" and "thou's," that seemed strangely at vari- ance with their strength of character. They were cheery and light-hearted, busy people doing the world's work; having no great amount of this world's riches; interested in everything going on about them and living to a good old age, and yet, as has been said, exhibiting the very marked Maulsby trait — "that of never growing old." As Abolitionists The great majority of the family were perhaps aboli- tionists. 64 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y In the old Plymouth neighborhood, to the home of Samuel Maulsby, then that of his daughter Martha, wife of George Corson, all the early workers in the cause were welcomed. Benjamin Lundy, "the meek little New Jersey Quaker" Garrison Lucretia Mott, McKim, Mary Grew, Abbie Foster (nee Kelly) , Charles and Cyrus Burleigh, all found within the old home a hospitable welcome. Today it seems almost incredible that George Corson, for the then advanced views he held and for entertaining such guests as these, should suffer, as he did, persecution from his neighbors. But down in eastern Tennessee the honor of being one of eight charter members to the FIRST "Manumission Society" belonged to the pioneer grandson of William Maltby 2nd., David (named Ebenezer) Maulsby, of Lost Creek, Tenn. For it is now an acknowledged fact that it was not in the North but in the slave-holding states of the South— the Caro- linas and Tennessee — that the movement for the abolition of slavery was first organized. True it was largely among the Quaker settlers, but recently established there from the north- ern states. The apostle of this movement was Charles Osborn, a Quaker preacher, born in North Carolina, Aug. 21, 1775, who removed to Tennessee when 19 years of age. In 1806 he be- gan his work as a minister. In December, 1814, he organized the "Tennessee Manumission Society," in the old log "Lost Creek" Meetinghouse. Its charter members were:— Charles Osborn, John Canaday, John Swain, John Underbill, Jesse Willis, David Maulsby, Elihu Swain, and Thomas Morgan, all of whose names have a friendly sound, and who were all Friends. And this was but the beginning of his noble work. The years 1814 and 1815 were spent largely in the organization of many other societies. In 1816 Osborn removed to Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and in 1817 published the first number of The Philan- thropist, the first journal in America to advocate uncondi- tional emancipation. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 65 Of this paper Benjamin Lundy was an agent, and at this time Wm. Lloyd Garrison was yet a boy of nine years of age. Constitution of the Tennessee Manumission Society "1.

There are two signatures, Mary Walker and Mary Roberts, to the certificate, which may be a clue to her married name. We have no further knowledge of Mary Maltby. II. (4). Elizabeth, was born in the parish of Estwood, in the county of Nottingham, in Old England, the 4th day of 3d month, in the year 1694. In 1710 Elizabeth Maulsby signs as witness to the marriage of her step-sister, Jenis Willliam (daughter of David William) and Edward David, of Radnor. Mary and Elizabeth Maltby no doubt married early as Watson says; "there were no old maids in those days." The Quaker marriages in Philadelphia alone during the years between 1687-1714 numbered 324 — so says an old manuscript. At the marriage of Joseph William or Williams, Griffith and Eliza- beth Jones sign the marriage certificate. Possibly this may be Elizabeth Maltby. Elizabeth Williams is also a signer, but she is probably Elizabeth the wife of Isaac Williams. No further records have been found.

John Maultesby received Jan. 13, 1715 [Phila. Deeds, Book D. 181, p. 500.], from Adam Rhoades his uncle, the surviving trustee appointed by his mother previous to her second marriage, the property in Philadelphia left by his father. He was at the time living in Plymouth township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) County. The home of John Maultsby was near the village of Plymouth Meeting. It was a fine old colonial mansion, but has now been abandoned, because of the caving in of a nearby lime-quarry that made it unsafe for residence.

This was left by Edmund Cartledge in his will dated April 21, 1703, to his eldest son and heir, John Cartledge, who sold two hundred and fifty acres of it to Edward Dawes. Edward Dawes, by his will of December 13, 1714, ordered that this land be sold. The executors sold but did not actually convey the property to John Cartledge, who had become bound to John Maultsby on June 16th last for £400, and now the two hundred and fifty acres is conveyed to him for £200. The witnesses to the deed were John Shiers and William Dickinson. The deed was recorded April 7, 1744. (Philadelphia Deeds, Book G. 4, page 389).

On Sep. 29, 1724, Mary Rose and John Copson, executors of Aquila Rose, granted to John Maultsby the ferry and two tracts of land at either side of the river at the west end of High St. [Market Street] for the re- mainder of a term of 21 years. On this property John Maultsby gave a mortgage in 1728, satisfying it the following year. Mortgage, May 18, 1728. — John Maultsby, of the City of Philadelphia, yeoman, to John Hanke,t of Whitemarsh, ferry over Schuylkill river at *John Hank (probably the father) was also from Eastwood Meeting, and had suflfered much persecution in England. At one time, for being at a funeral, all their goods were taken from him and his wife. fJohn Hanke of Whitemarsh, at whose wedding to Sarah, daughter of Cad walder Evans, at Gwynedd, John Maltby (or Maultsby) was a witness, and from whom he borrowed money for a year, probably for improvements on the ferry, was the ancestor of Nancy Hank, the mother of Abraham Lincoln. John Hank was of English descent and from Eastwood. From Gwynedd, also from Nottingham, two other noted families emigrated about IT'jO. (Their membership was at Oley or Exe- ter meeting in Berks Co.) —the Boone and the Lincolns, whose families had inter- married repeatedly. Squire and Sarah Boon, with nine children, removed to N.

Waller Lewis, of Phila., by indenture of January 1, 1722, granted to Aquila Rose two tracts of twelve acres, one on the east and the other on the west side of the river, for the remaining part of twenty-nine years. On September 29, 1724, Mary Rose and John Copson, executors of Aquila Rose, granted to John Maultsby the ferry and two tracts for the end of the term of twenty- one years. This mortgage was satisfied by John Maultsby, June 2, 1729. (Philadelphia Deeds, Book F4, page 439.) The Schuylkill Ferry 1694. Minutes of the Assembly. —That there is not more than one ferry allowed over Schuylkill near this town.

That persons be employed to open High St. to the New Ferry immediately. At this time there were but three houses on High St. above Third, and from there to the Schuylkill was a forest of fine old trees, and the banks of the Schuylkill were most picturesque with a natural beauty untouched by man. Aquila Rose, a man of whom Benjamin Frankhn says — "that he was held in high esteem," received the grant of the ferry — August 19, 1723, for a term of 21 years, at 10 shilling annually. The conditions were that he was to build a causeway on the west side Schuylkill, and provide boats and keep buildings, etc., in perfect order. In the attempt to get things into order he overworked, and died the same month, before his buildings could have been much more than begun, although he has been given credit for their building by his son. The river was rigged with ropes to draw the boats across, and there Una, 17.50, settling at Holomant ford or Holman's ford on the Yadkin river. The fourth son and sixth child was the noted pioneer, Daniel Boon, born a member of Oley Monthly Meeting. The Lincolns settled In Kockingliam Co., Va. Abraham Lincoln, killed by Indians In Kentucky in 1782, was the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln, President of the U. S. Jolin Hanke and wife were lined for being at a funeral and all their goods taken from them. (Besse's Sufferings.) Possibly this was the father of the emigrant, or possibly he himself. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 71 was much trouble by reason of parties in sloops cutting the ropes to pass up the river. There had also been considerable trouble with the Welsh settlers, who had been allowed their own boat for the purpose of going back and forth to meeting. The former keeper of the ferry had accused them of using it for other purposes, and had seized their boat. Established rates of toll for the High St. [Market St.] ferry over the Schuylkill, Philadelphia, 1723. For each person, 1 penny For each horse loaded or unloaded, 1 penny For each coach or chariot, 1 shilling For each chaise, four-wheel, 6 pence For each chaise, two-wheel, 4 pence For each chaise, cart or wagon, with loading, 1 shilling For each without loading, 6 pence For each sled, loaded or unloaded, 1 penny For every cow or other neat cattle, boated or swam, 3 half pence For each live sheep, 1 half penny For each hog or swine, 1 penny The keeper of the ferry was also required to keep a house for the accommodation of travellers, and this "inn" usually took the name of the ferry. Before Rose received the lease: — Philip England, hee is keeper of the ferry and Ordinarie att Schuyl- kill under seal of Wm. penn, esq. — [Colonial Records of Pennsylvania]. Rose in his lease was required to improve the approaches with a causeway, to build a house, and also a boat and ferry house. In an attempt in 1736 to derive greater incomes from its ferries, the city petitioned the proprietary for control of the lands at either side the river in use by them. They obtained consent to vest in the corporation the right to lands at ferry at foot of High (Market) St. over the Delaware, but the pro- prietary required that the land at Schuylkill ferry should be paid for. Schuylkill is the name given by the Dutch, and means "hidden river," as the river could not be seen at its mouth. The Indian name for it was "Manajung Maniunk, " "the mother." Three kinds of boats were in use at the ferries: 72 THE MA ULSBY FAMILY * 'Wherries," carrying from twelve to fifteen people. "Horse-boats," for transporting horses, carriages and cattle. "Team-boats," propelled by horse-power. In some of the larger boats as many as nine or ten horses were used. They were arranged to walk in a circle on a tread wheel con- nected with the main shaft. By stepping on the wheel the shaft would turn. These boats were used until 1810, when steam ferry boats were introduced. The wherries were admirable boats — long and roomy, clinker-built— with iron-shod sterns. If the ice in winter was broken, they were propelled through the channel. If not they were dragged by hand over it, the men passengers being expected to turn out to man the ropes, the women and children riding. The ferrymen divided their year in two parts, winter and summer — this being the task of the oldest ferryman. It was usually from March to December and December to March. During the winter season the charges were doubled. As long as the horse-boats were kept at anchor there was a single charge, but when these boats were taken into the wharves the passenger knew his rate would be doubled. They had, too, no regular time for running, and did not trouble to cross until a boat-load was ready. How many im- patient passengers must have waited at the ferry-inn. A description of Aquilla Rose's funeral may be interest- ing — he was printer, poet, clerk of the Assembly and a man honored for merit, not wealth:— His corpse attended was by Friends so soon From seven at morn till one o'clock at noon, By master printers carried toward his grave, Our city's printer such an honour gave, A worthy merchant did the widow lead And they both took a stately steed. Next preachers, common council, aldermen, A judge and sheriff graced the solemn train, Nor failed our treasurer in respect to come, Nor stayed the keeper of the rolls at home, With merchants, shopkeepers, the young, the old, THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 73 A numerous throng not very easy told, And what still adds a lustre to it, Some rode well mounted, others walked afoot. # * * * .* * Thus died and was buried- A lovely poet whose sweet fragrant name Will last till circling years shall cease to move. S. Keimer's Eulogium. Thomas Chalkley, who was present at this funeral, records in his diary mention of another funeral when a thousand people were present. Everybody knew everybody else in those days, and funer- als and weddings were occasions that brought many together to show their respect, and perhaps, too, to enjoy this chance of seeing their neighbors and friends. Aquila Rose was an early literary celebrity, indeed he was Philadelphia's first poet, and the friend of James Logan, who with Gov. Keith and Thomas Chalkley attended his funeral.* Scarf's History gives three dates for his death, 1725 manifestly incorrect, and June and August, 1723, saying that the preference is given to the June date. This, too, can scarcely be, as the lease was not given until August 19, 1723. The date has been considered an important one, as it likewise helps fix the date of the coming of Benjamin Franklin to Philadelphia. When Franklin went to see Wm. Bradford, he told him that his son's (Andrew) head printer had died so recently that he did not think he could have had time to get anyone in his place. And Franklin filled Aquila Rose's place in Bradford's office as head printer. When Franklin visited Keimer he found him composing and setting up at the same time an eulogy on Aquila Rose, a part of which is: — '•He loved plain Truth, but hated formal Cant In those who Truth and Honesty did want. A curious artist at his business, he Could Think, and Speak, Compose, Correct so free, To make a Dead Man Speak or Blind to see. ' ' *For digging the grave of Aquila Rose, George Harmer is paid 8 shillings. 74 THE MA ULSBY FAMILY His son, Joseph Rose, who was afterward Franklin's ap- prentice, collected his father's poems, ' 'excepting the ones that were lent out," and published them in 1840. In his preface he says:— "A poet e'en did poetry disown? Or for a distant livelihood give o'er, Those instant pleasures that he felt before; Yet so Aquila did— the rustic toil, To make firm landings on a muddy soil Erect a ferry over Schuylkill's stream, A benefit to thousands— death to him! He saw his causeways firm above the waves. And nigh the deeps unless a storm outbraves When gusts unusual strong with wind and rain. Swelled Schuylkill's water o'er the humble plain, Sent hurrying all the moveables afloat, And drove afar the needful'st thing, the boat, 'Twas then that wading through the chilling flood A cold ill humor mingled with his blood." If Aquila died in August it does not seem possible that he saw his "causeways firm," excepting in imagination. It seems wiser to grant him his literary fame and give John Maultsby the credit for the building of the ferry and for the management* of it until the expiration of the lease in 1744, when not wishing it renewed it was granted to George Gray. True Maultsby did not get the grant from the executor until the following September, 1724, but very likely he had tried his hand at the running of it for the widow, before deciding positively on taking it permanently or being ready to give up farming for that purpose. The ' 'middle ferry" soon became valuable property. The Darby road originally crossed here; the old York road, the Baltimore Post and Stage road, the Chadd's Ford road began here; the Westchester road, the road to Lancaster and Haver- ford, all used this crossing, and the amount of travel was great. *We have been unable to And any record to prove that John Maultsby managed the ferry, hut on the other hand no new lease seems to have been given until the expiration of his term in 1714. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 75 As early as 1750 a committee was appointed to select a suitable place over Market St. for a bridge, and the place where "Captain Coultas now keeps his ferry" was decided on, but the bridge was not built until the Revolutionary days (1776) , and then it was only a temporary structure. When Evan Evans took the lease in 1757, he paid the city for the privilege £175 per year. During John Maultsby's lease came the severe winter of 1732-3, when ice fifteen inches thick formed on the Schuylkill, and on its breaking up did great damage, and all the ferries were blocked. The Will of Aquila Rose The will of Aquila Rose, printer, of the city of Philadel- phia, is dated the 19th day of August, A.D. 1723. He be- queaths his property to his wife and son Joseph, and ap- points his wife Mary and his good friend John Copson, mer- chant, his executors. The will is proved Sept. 23, 1723. According to the inventory taken 25 August, 1724, the ferry does not seem to have been very valuable property at that time: — House Ferry Causey Flat and Improvement £100 Small cart, 2 old boats, 2 wheel-barrows, 2 axes, shovel and pick ax £ 5 6 6 Nor were his personal belongings numerous, for the in- ventory continues: — Feather and flock bed, bolster, 2 pillows, 2 sheets, 2 blankets curtains, Vevilings and sack bottom bedstead 3 sheets and 3 blankets Wearing apparel Dressing table and couch 2 pewter dishes, 6 plates and 4 chairs Small pine table Old gun, pine chest £114 10 Appraised by: J. Cadwaldek, Edward Roberts. Further improvements of said estate were made by the ex- ecutors and sold for £79 13 6 £3 2 6 1 2 1 10 15 7 6 2 6 1 76 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y Perhaps it is because indexed under the name of Aquila "Reese" that the knowledge of the contents of the will of Aquila Rose has so long slumbered in oblivion. It decides the time of his death, and from the inventory of the property- it seems likely that certain improvements were made by the executors— possibly the building of the causeways formerly referred to, as in the accounts a number of small sums are paid, apparently for day labor. John Maultsby, having been raised at the Spring Mill ferry over Schuylkill, a few miles further up the river, was probably appealed to to take charge of the work at the death of Rose, and it seems finally accepted. His step-brother Rees William was one of the creditors of the Rose estate, and it may have been through him that this came about. Family of John Maultsby John and Mary Maultsby are said to have had a large family of children, but of them we have lost trace.

It was probably his son John Malsby, or a grandson, who became the owner, or part owner, and master of the ship "Three Sisters," but of him, too, trace has been lost.

The family were Quakers, and all attended the Friends' meeting for five generations, David Malsbury and his son Lewis being Quakers. On one side or the other there was Welsh blood, and Mrs. Conrad says she "well remembers" her "grandmother Mals- bury speaking of grandfather's Welsh blood, when he would get a little spunky." 1744—4 mo. 21, Samson Maleby, or Malsby, and Rebekah Willson were married in Philadelphia.

WILLIAM MALSBY, or Maltby, son of William Maltby, the emigrant, was born in Nottingham- shire, England, in the Parish of Estwood, on the ISthday of lOmo.,1695. He was raised in the Wilhams home at Spring Mill, and taught the trade of mason. In 1715 he is living among his mother's people in Ches- ter township (Chester Co. ) . He is a "single man" and so designated on the tax rolls. All over 18 years were taxed at this time. On October 18, 1721, William Malsby, mason, bought a tract of 200 acres of land from John Kendall and wife, for the sum of £60, in Limerick township, Philadelphia Co., (now Montgomery) Pa. [Phila. Deeds, I 3, 301], about six miles distant from Plymouth Meeting. He was married, 2d mo. 19, 1732, to Rose Rees, at Ply- mouth Meeting house. The following is taken from the records of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting:— Whereas, William Maulsby* of Plymouth, in the County of Philadel- phia and Province of Pennsylvania, and Rose Rees, daughter of John Rees of the township of in the County and Province aforesaid, hav- ing declared their intentions of marriage with each other before several monthly meetings of the People called Quakers, held at Gwynedd in the County and Province aforesaid according to the Good order used amongst ♦There is a record that William Maultby and Dor. Stegleigh were married Nov. 12,1728, in Philadelphia, but of them we know nothing further. Possibly William Maulsby was a widower at the time of his marriage to Rose Rees. The above Wm. Maultby however was married by a minister— and we have no Friends record to show that our William Maltby was "dealt with" for this offence against Friends discipline.

THE MAULSBY FAMILY 177 Mary Laugharne And now the more difficult task remains of giving a cor- rect account of Mary Laugharne. It is not our purpose to definitely establish her identity in the present volume. That, with the Laugharne history, stretching far back into the his- tory of ancient Britain, will be our theme in another volume. This deals with her history in America only, and some of the many family traditions that gather around her name. The following account is copied from notes written by Martin F. Conway, containing also a letter or statement writ- ten by his mother. The original is in possession of Mrs. Marjorie Martenet, Baltimore, Md. My mother, who was born in Harford Co., Md., of parents who moved to that locality from near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and who is now about seventy-five (75) years old, says that her father was the eldest son of a woman by the name of Mary Laugharne, who landed in Phila. from Haverfordwest, in South Wales, about 1748 [This cannot be a correct date. — E. K. B.], and who in less than a year after her arrival married a man by name of Maulsby, residing in or near Philadelphia. Mary Laugharne died a few years before my mother was born, but many papers were left attesting who she was, and much was said by persons in the family about her character and quality. It seems she was of a family of great wealth, if not rank, in the vicinity of Haverfordwest, Wales. That she was an only daughter, and that in consequence of a difference with her father about the person he wished her to marry, she abruptly left his house and obtained passage clandestinely on board a vessel bound for America. That efforts were afterwards made by her son to obtain estates or property supposed to belong to him as her heir. That an agent by name of Churchman was employed about the year 1798, to proceed to England and take steps in that direction. That all the documentary proofs deemed necessary were procured and entrusted to him; that he departed on his mission but never returned, it being announced in due time that he was lost at sea. My mother is the only surviving grandchild of Mary Laugharne, though her progeny of later degrees are numerous. Martin F. Conway. Washington, 1st May, 1871. The following is my mother's account of the story of Mary Laug- harne. M. F. C. 178 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y My Dear Son : I cheerfully comply with your request to write a statement of what I know about my grandmother, Mary Laugharne. I remember nothing of her personally, as she died (1792) two years before I was born, but I have often heard my father and mother and others speak of her. My mother was her favorite, and she would often talk with her about the grand home she had left in Wales and the many pleasant days she had there passed with kindred and friends. Her father's name was John Laugharne and her mother's maiden name Mary Wheeler. They lived in South Wales, near Haverfordwest. The reason she gave for leaving her home was that her father wished her to marry a man whom she disliked. The man's name was Rees. He was old and very rich and had a great wen* on his neck. Her father knew of her repugnance to him, yet he arranged for their marriage. He ordered her to prepare for visitors on a certain day. When the time arrived, he summoned her to be present, where she found her uncle, herself, the proposed groom, a clergyman, and several witnesses. He told her she must marry Mr. Rees then and there; she answered that she would not, and persisted in her refusal, whereupon he struck her over the shoulders three times with a whip. Upon this she left the house and never returned. By the aid of a servant and friend she contrived to conceal herself on board of a vessel at Haverfordwest bound for America. It was with the connivance of the mate that this was done, but the captain, who knew the position of the family, was astonished and alarmed when he ascer- tained that she was on board. Indeed, she had been advertised and a reward offered for her recov- ery before the sailing of the vessel, and the captain had seen it. He would not for all on board his vessel that she should have been there, but it was then too late, for they were far away at sea. In seven weeks they arrived at Philadelphia. This was about the year 1789. [This may have been intended for 1739, but is evidently incorrect. — E. K. B.] The captain placed Miss Laugharne in charge of a family of his acquaintance [Lloyd's], informing them of her quality and all the circumstances of the case. In a few months she was married to David Malsby, a Philadelphia Quaker, who had seen and fallen in love with her at first sight. My father was their first child [son], born about 1750. After a few years the family moved into Maryland, where my grand- father bought land and settled, where he and Mary Laugharne lived and died and were both buried in the little Quaker graveyard at Fallston, where rests also the remains of my father and mother and other kindred * Tradition says the wen was so large a footman supported it as Mr. Rees walked. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 179 dust. It was said that Mary Laugharne was heiress to a large fortune. My father once went so far as to pay ten guineas passage money to England to see about it, but changed his mind at the last moment. A man by the name of Churchman, who attended to the settling of estates in England, came to see him on the subject. My father related to him the circumstances and Churchman went over and came back, partly confirming the main facts. My father then furnished him with proofs of his being the oldest son of Mary Laugharne and gave him a power of attorney. Churchman said there could be a very large sum called "pin money " obtained with very little trouble, left her by her grandmother, Mary Wheeler. Churchman was to have a child's part of it. He went over the second time, but never returned. He may have secured the money and appropriated it all to himself. He had two sisters* living at a place called Peach Bottom, Pa., who said their brother died at sea. So much time, however, had elapsed and other matters nearer home engaging my father's attention, he let the affair rest, and nothing more was ever done about it. What I have said, of course but little is known of my own knowledge. What relates to Mary Laugharne is her own story, briefly expressed, and was told to me times without number, by both my father and my mother, and was always known and always much talked about by the various members of the family. I hope, my son, if yon should ever again cross the ocean you will go to Wales and learn what you can about the Laugharne family. Although no fortune or anything of the kind may be recovered, yet it would be a gratification to know who our progenitors were. Your affectionate mother, Frances Ann Conway. Washington, 1st June, 1871. The story of Mary Laugharne, continued by Jefferson Conway, son of Frances Maulsby Conway [June 7, 1907] : She occupies a romantic place in my memory. From the lips of my kindred in boyhood I heard : She was a star of the first magnitude in the society of her day, ele- gant and refined in manners, bright and fascinating in intellect, a sweet singer and a delightful companion. She was tall, willowy, and erect in form ; proud in walk and car- riage ; with bounteous black hair crowning a broad but shapely Saxon head, and her luminous, large black eyes, and prominent nose with a Roman curve were perhaps the most eloquent of all her features in sus- taining the romances of her early life in Wales and her adopted country. * Qainor and Hannah Churchman. The latter was for many years a teacher in Baltimore and Washington. 180 THE MAULSBY FAMILY They said that at fifteen years of age she was heir to a large estate ; that she had received, at that age, a precocious child, the best education Wales could give her ; that she early developed a pride and will which made death to her preferable to subordination to and domination by her guardians ; and that falling in love with a young man, he, to break the attachment and troth, was sent to the army and thence to India. She secured everything of her property she could move, and in hidden flight escaped to America, in search of a new home, where she set- tled amongst relatives in Maryland [?]. She was fond of outdoor sports, and was known amongst the people about her as a lover of horses, dogs, and hunting the fox, and became conspicuous for horsemanship and the prowess of a lady hunter. That she was a loyalist full of Tory enthusiasm, and once when our county of Harford was invaded by a body of English, the servants of a patriotic family near by were heard to say that the sons of that family were to lead an attack on the English at a designated time and places; and Mary Laugharne, dressed in the apparel of a man, sprang to a horse, a voluntary messenger for King George, and carried the secret to the English camp, fifty miles away. That on her return she was chal- lenged and pursued by a squad of cavalry, and distanced them so ably that when her house was surrounded and all the premises searched for the rough rider, whose trail led and ended there, no one could be found except a few ladies, servants, and a woman sick abed, attended by a nurse, and that woman was Mary Laugharne, inveighing against "savage man, who could thus invade the quiet, defenseless home, and outrage a sick woman."* The story of Churchman, as agent, is well authenticated, and comes from all branches of the family. It was generally supposed, however, that he died on his first voyage, as Mrs. Gill, of Brooklyn, N. Y. (1899), writes : Uncle Stephen Russell, then Inspector of the port of New York, hired a man named Churchman to go to Wales, etc. He went on the President, and she was reported lost with all on board. •'■ This story was also told me by Mrs. Bouldin of a member of the Malsby fam- ily, but she did not remember which one. She thought it happened near Philadel- phia. It seems more likely that David and Mary Laugharne Malsby were living in Moreland or Philadelphia during the Revolution, as Mrs. Bouldin has stated, and that this event occurred there. Geuei'al Lacey was encamped at the Billet (Hat- boro'), very close to or on the Malsby farm, in 1778, and it was probably from this place that Mary Laugharne made her famous ride. The neighbor referred to may have been John Fries, who, tradition says, headed a party of his neighbors against and pursued a party of British troops who were driving stolen cattle to the city. The remainder of the family were non- resistants, and favorable to the colonies. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 181 The following is the authentic account of Churchman's voyage and death on the home trip: John Churchman, son of George and grandson of John and Margaret Churchman, noted Friends' ministers, was born in East Nottingham, 5th mo. 29, 1753. He was a noted surveyor. In 1778 he executed a map of the Peninsula between the bays of Chesapeake and Delaware. About 1790 he constructed a "Variation Chart or Magnetic Atlas " and a " Stereographic Projection of the Spheres, on a Plane of the First Magnetic Meridian," on account of which he met with great opposition. Whilst persecuted in the land of his nativity, he maintained an encourag- ing correspondence with Sir Joseph Banks, Esq., Bart., President of the Royal Society of London, and others. Also with academies and societies at Hamburg, Prussia, St. Petersburg, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Cambridge, Paris, etc., and with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and the liberal-minded men in America. In 1792 embarked on a voyage to England and France to pursue his researches. He returned about 1796. Having received an invitation from a learned society in Russia, he visited Copenhagen and thence to St. Petersburg, where he met with great attention, and was elected member of the Imperial Academy of Arts and Sciences, and received a gold medal with the diplomatic honors thereof. He arrived in London in the year , still pursuing his studies. He received a silver medal from a society as an acknowledgment of some in- genious topographical discoveries. Sitting up late one night at his accustomed labors, he was found fallen in a paralytic affection, from which after a few months he so far recovered as to embark for home in the ship William Murdoch, Captain Horn. He never arrived, but died at sea in the ship, 17th of the 7th mo., 1805, aged about 50 years. Alfred Churchman, of New York (1884), had in his possession the portrait of Churchman [probably the traditional one, in court dress], and the original letter from George Washington, introducing him to the for- eign ministers in England and France. Gilbert Cope. For a copy of this letter I am greatly indebted to Rev. A. B. Church- man, of New York City, who writes : The following letter was addressed by General Washington to our great uncle, John Churchman, scientist, also member of Imperial Acad- emy of Arts and Sciences, St. Petersburg, upon the occasion of a trip abroad : 182 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y Mount Vernon, Sept. lOth, 1792. Sir: Your letter of the 5th did not reach my hand until the 8th— and this is the first opportunity that has offered since to give the receipt of it an acknowledgment. I have enclosed you two short letters of introduction to our Ministers at the courts of Paris and London. I wish your voyage may answer your own expectation and that the discovery may be beneficial to mankind, being Sir, Your Very H'''^' Serv' G" Washington. The following story was not generally known in the family : Jefferson Conway also states that Aaron Burr was employed by the family to secure the Welsh estate. When and where Morris Maulsby (of Merchant) became acquainted with Aaron Burr we do not know, but he probably knew him in Philadel- phia, or perhaps just met him in the inn at Bush, then county seat of Harford, and the stopping place of the stage en route to Washington. Surely, so says tradition, he went to see him for Mary Laugharne or the children, to put into his hands the business of procuring the Welsh estate for the family. Aaron Burr was in his day the most brilliant of all the lawyers of the country. Second in ability and success to none, in putting the mat- ter in his hands all felt sure of success. It must have been shortly before the duel with Hamilton took place, after which time Burr's own misfor- tunes were so overwhelming that little else was thought of. After his trial and acquittal in 1808, finding himself condemned and abhorred by the public, he made a secret flight to Europe, first confiding to his daughter, Theodosia, his accumulated legal papers. After four years of wandering and exile, he returned to America, and attempted to take up again the old life here. Theodosia sailed to meet him, taking with her, with other papers, those relating to the Wheeler-Laugharne property. The sad story of that last voyage is well known — how off Cape Hatteras all went down, and none were left to tell the tale. Although later rumors came of a savage pirate crew, the ending of the voyage always has remained a blank. And this time the " Laugharne papers," as they had now become known, were surely lost forever. [If this story is correct these were probably duplicate papers, for the original ones were still in possession of Hannah Churchman.] THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 183 The following is a copy of the contents of a letter in pos- session of Isaiah C. McConnell, of Burlington, Iowa. It was written to his grandfather, Samuel McConnell. The year in which it was written is unknown : Philadelphia, August. Friend McConnell : There has lately been some things transpired, which has led me to believe that if the papers which was in John Churchman's possession concerning a property in Wales or England which should of rights come to this family and thy wife being one of the principal heirs together with my mother, Tamar Sitler, and the rest of the heirs of Miss Laugharne, afterward Mrs. Maulsby — from some facts I have received from England, and from the best opinion of one of our most learned attorneys of the Phila. Courts that if any papers which can go to prove that the said Miss Laugharne, afterwards Mrs. Maulsby, was the daughter and heir of the family in Europe, there is no question but the property can be got to the family. On last week I went down to see Miss Hannah Church- man, the only one of that family that is now living, and to my surprise she stated that some years ago she had sent them to James Orr, of Belair, and she told me some few weeks back you had been over to see her. And if said Orr got the papers they must be in the possession of Morris Maulsby, in the neighborhood of Belair, who administered on his estate, and I think it our duty to look after it. If thee can give me an answer to the following questions thee will in time no doubt find it to thy advantage : 1st. If the papers were sent to James Orr and if they can be got ? 2nd. What is the nature of the papers and what will they go to prove ? 3d. If thy wife can recollect about the affidavit and what was the nature and who before, and what time it occurred ? 4th. When thy wife's mother was married, and in what church, and before what minister, and in what city ? 5th. If the affidavit was sworn to in Baltimore and before Esquire Salmon ? Now, if thee will take the pains to ascertain whether the papers can be got and write immediately to my father, Daniel Sitler. in Phila., at No. 103 North 3d Street, his dwelling house, that property may yet be got. Be particular in making all of the above inquiry and write imme- diately the answer, as Mr. Henry Clay will be in this city in a few days, and I should be glad to get his opinion, as he is well versed in English law. 184 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y Mother and father and children send their love to you and aunt, and say they would be glad if you and aunt could come to this city. The family is doing well. David Newcomer and aunt will be here in a few days. Joseph Johnson has just come home from a long voyage from sea. I shall close my letter hoping it will find you and all of our friends in good health. • Thy affectionate relative, Henry Sitler. N. B. — If I can get the papers I shall leave immediately for England, and if the old papers have been lost I shall get what papers I can get and go, as I am determined not to let it rest. I want to get ready to go by the next trip of the British Queen steamer or Great Western, and I feel confident thee will give me all the assistance in thy power, as it is of the greatest importance to me. I should have come over to see thee, but at this time am very busy and want to hear from thee first, as there might be some document in this city to be got, as I have always under- stood she was married here.* H. S. To Samuel McConnell, near Belair, Harford Co., Md. It was probably some time before it became g-enerally known that the Laugharne papers had been returned to the sisters of John Churchman. Then one of the family was sent for the purpose of getting possession of them, but the sisters, Gainor and Hannah Churchman, refused to give them up un- less they should have a child's share of the property— the same that had been offered to their brother. This was un- conditionally refused, and for years the Churchman sisters retained possession of the papers. Meanwhile family bick- erings and dissensions arose amongst the heirs, and nothing more was done. Finally one paper was offered for sale and bought. It was probably the old tree of the Laugharne and Wheeler families. (See fac-simile.) William Wheeler was member of Parliament from Haverfordwest, whether Mary's grandfather or uncle, I am not sure. Colonel Wheeler, her guardian, was unmarried. » The Great W>'-'itern first crossed the ocean In 1S3S. Frances McC'ounell died in 1843. This letter must have been written between these dates.— E. K. B. It was perhaps about this time that the papers were examined by J udge Wm. P Maulsby. IHE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 185 During the Peninsular war the family in Harford watched the career of a General Wheeler, whom they believed to be their relation. This scarcely could have been her mother's uncle, but was perhaps a younger member of the family. According to the letter of Henry Sitler, Hannah Church- man finally sent the papers to James Orr, of Belair, the hus- band of Angelina, youngest daughter of David and Mary Malsby. This was probably some thirty years after John Church- man's death, and by this time few of the older members of the family were living, and few ever knew that the papers had passed into the hands of James Orr. It is not probable that Henry Sitler ever got possession of them; at least he never did cross the ocean. Somewhere about 1864 an advertisement appeared in the papers for the heirs of one Mary Ann Laugharne, and Major John R. Kenly, of Baltimore, was sent over to investigate the matter, but nothing was accomplished. The following advertisement was probably the one re- ferred to, and evidently does not refer to our Mary Laug- harne. It was sent me by Mr. Columbus Smith, from Eng- land, about 1884, when he kindly offered to make some in- vestigations there for me ; but at that time I could only give him traditions to work on, and it all as usual came to naught. N. K. — Rep'"" of Mary Ann Chapman— Whereas Lydia Hooley by her will dated many years ago, bequeathed a life annuity or yearly sum of £20 to her neice, Mary Ann Laugharne, who subsequently married a Mr. Thos. Chapman, and afterwards lived and resided with him at Hobart Town, or elsewhere in Van Diemans Land, and is reported to have since died at the Hospital of Hobart Town aforesaid without having previously claimed the said annuity, which has been invested and accumulated up to the time of her reputed death. Now, therefore, the trustees acting under the Will are desirous of ascertaining whether the said Mary Ann Chapman is living or dead. If dead, when and where she died. Whether she left her husband her surviving, and if so, whether he is living or dead, and if dead, who is his legal personal repstv. ; and if she survived her said husband, whether she left any, and what children by him, her surviving ; and who is her legal repstve. All persons claiming through or under the said Mary Ann Chapman, or possessing any information relating to this enquiry, are requested to send 186 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y particulars of such claim, and the evidence in support thereof, or to communicate such information to Mr. Joseph Hooley Torr, Solicitor, No. 21 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. — London Gazette, 2Uh June, 1851. No doubt the American claim refers to this advertisement, as it is for a Mary Ann Laughorne, spinster, but who married a Chapman. Cuttmen's Index — addenda — contains Wm. Laughorne. Gun's Index contains Langharn family— 42, 294. In the meantime, Martin Conway was making his inves- tigations, but failing health prevented their completion. Mr. Smith's letters are interesting, as they definitely de- cide some of the often-asked questions. West Salisbury, Vermont, April 29, 'S4. Miss Ella K. Barnard :— Yours of the 10th inst. was received on my return from Florida. I have examined my whole collection and can find only the following in Di Bernard's list of names, which names have appeared in advertise- ments: "Mary Ann Laughorn " and "Mary Ann Laughorne." I have not got the advertisements, and know nothing of their contents, nor can I get the advertisements in England without purchasing copies of them, and as you cannot trace the family I fear it will not pay to get copies of the advertisements. You will notice this party had a middle name, Ann. Without you get more definite information I do not think it will be apt to pay for trouble and expense of searching. I expect to go to England next month and will take your statement of case with me, and make some enquiries there of agents about it, and if I find anything I will let you know. Re Wheeler claim in England: I have heard of this claim before, I think, and feel quite sure I have seen Wheeler advertisements in Eng- land. I do not remember that I have any particular information relative to unclaimed money there belonging to Wheelers. Perhaps your friends may give you some definite information about it for a starting point. My wife and daughter send kind regards to you and Miss Davis. Truly yours, Columbus Smith. 38 Alfred Place, Bedford Square, London, England, Nov. 3, '89. To Miss E. K. Barnard :— Yours of the 24th ult. is just received. We are glad to hear from you. I was just thinking of writing you. While in London I have been very ill for one month, not able to leave my house, and under the doctor's care. Am not now fairly recovered. My wife is much improved and my daughter is quite well ; has been taking music aud French lessons here. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 187 I have made many inquiries since I came here relative to Langhorn and Wheeler unclaimed property, but have been able to get on track of none recoverable. I have examined thoroughly the unclaimed dividends in Chancery, but find nothing there to which I think you can be entitled. I find, there, in the cause "Wheeler vs. Newsham the share of Freder- ick Wheeler of the legacy of £500." "The account in the cause first opened 1866." Nothing done in the case since. I examined in the Brit- ish Museum library some two hours about three weeks ago, but it was so damp, there, I took a cold which confined me again to the house sev- eral days, and in fact am not now over the cold, so I do not dare to go there again until they have fires. I find within the last 15 years they have passed several statutes of limitations, so no person can recover real estate of a person who has held the property under an adverse title 12 years, and in no event over 20 years, so I do not see how it is possible for Mr. Hewett or any one else to recover the property now. Real estate usually descends to the oldest male heir, certainly, if not willed otherwise. Personal property is divided as in America if not willed. When I return here next Spring I will try and find the Langhorn Castle by Miss Curtis. I must say I cannot see much of a chance for you to secure a prop- erty in England left by Langhorn or Wheeler. It is possible that I might alter my mind by a further search, but I think not. I send you enclosed an advertisement which I procured, but after getting it I think is not your case it refers to. It is too recent. We think of leaving here for Paris this week or next. Yours truly, Columbus Smith, In my endeavors to sift thoroughly all stories relating to Mary Laugharne, I have found some differences of opinion regarding various parts of the story. The following is one that may contain a needed clue : I have often heard father speak of the Laughorne property as the "Llewellen estate," and understood it to be situated in Wales. Henry Daniel Sitler. Washington, D. C, 3, 12, 1903. Some branches of the family claim that the father of Mary Laugharne was not living, and that her uncle Wheeler was her guardian. The "old tree " seems to indicate that her mother was twice married, and that she had three half sisters, Frances, Corbetta, and Mrs. Watkins. It should be possible to find their descendants. Our own traditions add somewhat to the preceding : 188 THE MAULSBY FAMILY That Mary's father or guardian took her one day to town and bought her with other things a " white satin " gown, and one day told her to dress in the "white satin " and come to the parlor, as he expected company to dine. When she appeared so arrayed, she found "the Mr. Rees," her uncle, a clergyman, and a few witnesses, and was told by her uncle that she was to be married at once to Mr. Rees, a large land holder, whose estate joined them; but on her refusal he struck her over the shoulders with a whip ; that she escaped at once from the house and hid until night and then went aboard a ship, probably at Milford Haven, about to sail for Philadelphia. That she took with her a few rings and some jewelry of value ; that in mid-ocean she first ap- peared on shipboard in the white satin, her only dress, and the one in which she crossed the ocean. Arriving in Phila- delphia, the Captain of the vessel went first ashore and re- turned with a Mr. Lloyd (or Wheeler) , a silk merchant, into whose charge he intended to put Mary until he could commu- nicate with her father or guardian. That Mr. Lloyd at once exclaimed, " Why, Mary, is it you ! " He had known her in Wales ; that he took her home and made her one of his fam- ily ; that he made every effort to reconcile her to her father or guardian, but that every effort failed. Mr. Lloyd had two daughters, and one morning Mary announced her wish to go with them to market, telling of a dream the night before. The rest of the story has been told; and very soon she was married to David Malsby. During her lifetime she steadily refused to make, or allow to be made, any effort to recover her property. After her death an agent from Wales appeared in Harford and visited amongst her children and assured himself of their identity, but after his return to Wales nothing further was heard of him. A strange fatality seems to have followed everything be- longing to Mary Laugharne. The burning of the Moreland house was the beginning. Whatever was left probably fell into the hands of her son-in-law, James Orr, along with the THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 189 Churchman papers, and a long chancery suit ensued between him and Morris Maulsby (and probably resulted in both of them being disowned from Meeting) . Betsy Sadler is sup- posed to have destroyed them. At least no trace of the papers has been found, and inquiry has been made amongst her relatives. Mary married David Maulsby, of Pennsylvania, and was married in Philadelphia, at the old Swedes' Church, or the Church of England on Second Street, Philadelphia. She had four children: David, Wheeler, and two others. The daughter's name was Angelina ; she died in Penn- sylvania or Maryland, but I cannot say which place. Aunt Beulah saw the grandmother when she was a little girl and heard her tell about her father wanting her to marry an old man with a very large and ugly nose — something like a wen on his nose— and said he was a Duke [?]. Mary was one of sixteen children. She told them her brothers and sisters were all embalmed and placed in a vault, where the family, she said, would go and look at them. I also heard from this friend that the Queen had issued a Proclama- tion, — it was in the Philadelphia Record which came out on Seventh days, — in which she said something about the heiress of the Wheeler estate. With love will remain thy cousin, M. G. Shoemaker. Mary Shoemaker, the writer of the foregoing letter, had great faith in the "Laugharne fortune," and firmly be- lieved that it was only waiting for the appearance of the heirs from America to drop into their extended hands. That there was such a fortune is an established fact, but it seems most unlikely that Mary Laugharne was its heiress. At least it does not seem that she could have been the daughter of John Laugharne, M. P. Could she have been his granddaughter ? However, we hope to give proofs, for or against, in our later volume. " Cousin Beulah " was born the year Mary Laugharne died, so could not have heard her story from her own lips, and no doubt the years added glamor to the romance. The story of the sixteen little children long seemed to me a most incredible one, but in these years of research I have learned to look for a kernel of truth in each tradition, and most un- expectedly found it here. 190 THE MAULSBY FAMILY In an old church yard near Haverfordwest is doubtless the tomb with a quaint inscription from which this story orig- inated, and it will probably lead us to at least the partial ver- ification of the story of Mary Laugharne, or I should say a verification, for she herself could have had no part in the addition of the various myths that now surround her name. Certainly she was familiar with the old parish grave- yard where this tomb, erected by the last John Laugharne,* M. P. , stands, and perhaps she often went there to see her mother's grave. The tomb, however, is to "fourteen little brothers and sisters ; " "one (more) of them was buried at St. Bride's," and the sixteenth was the wife of him who caused the tomb to be erected. The inscription on the tomb in Boulston Churchyard, four miles from Haverfordwest, is as follows ; Here lie the bodys of Morris Wogan, Esq,, And Frances Owen, of Orielton, his wife. Which Morris was son of Sir John Wogan the younger. As also Abraham Wogan, esq. and Jane Mansell of Margam his wife, And also Lewis Wogan esq. And Katharine Phillips, of Cardigan Priory, his wife, And also fourteen of their children. One daughter was buried at St. Brides. The said Lewis Wogan died March 25, 1692, Leaving behind him Anne, his only child and sole heiress Married the 26th of December, 1698, to John Laugharne of St Brides, In this county esq. Who caused this monument to be erected. (From Fenton's Pembrokeshire.) * About this time there were several John Laugharne's living near Haverford- west; John Laugharne, M. P., of St. Bride'sand Boulston, was a man of great wealth. He owned estates from Haverfordwest to Carmarthen, sixty miles in extent; he also owned St. David's, and a number of estates in different parts of Wales. It was the boast of this family that they "could travel from sunrise to sunset on their own land," and that was before the days of steam cars and automobiles, but in time of the more stately and slowly moving coach and six. This John Laugharne died in 1714, and his estate was eventually divided among three co-heiresses, his sisters. The pedigree of this family is a noted one. Mark Twain in his story of " The Death Disk " in the Christmas Harper, 1901. gives the story (with slight changes), of Major General Laugharne, the grandfather of John Laugharne. THE MA ULSBY FAMILY 191 David and Mary Laugharne Malsby attended Horsham Meeting. Horsham Meeting was established 24th of 7th mo., 1716. At first meetings were held only in the winter season. On 27th of 3d mo., 1719, Hannah, widow of Samuel Carpenter, by a deed of trust conveyed 50 acres of land for the use of Friends, on which the Meeting House was built, probably in 1721. In 1724 assistance was asked from Abington, Germantown, and Byberry, to build a house on the other side of the road. It was completed in 1724, and stood until 1803, when the present building was erected. II. (7.) David Malsby, born 1 mo. 20, lUh died after 1781 ; m. Mary Laugharne.

VII CHILDREN OF DAVID AND MARY LAUGH ARNE MALSBY " And still within our valleys here We hold the kindred title dear, Even vi^hen, perchance, its far-fetched claim To Southern ears sounds empty name; For course of blood, our proverbs deem. Is warmer than the mountain stream." —Scott. Mary Malsby Hicks JAMES HICKS, son of Henry and Mary Hicks, was born on Hicks' Adventure Farm, Baltimore Co., Md., Feb- ruary 2, 1736. He was twenty-five years old when David and Mary Laugharne Malsby moved into Maryland and bought from his brother Laban Ogg, alias Hicks ; the farm of Henry Hicks; and one year later, in 1761, he was married to their oldest daughter, Mary, a handsome willful girl of fifteen years, who had inherited from her mother, Mary Laugharne, a fondness for a gayer life than she found in this little settlement in the forest's edge. Tradition says that in those early years of their married life they held slaves, and that Mary "on occasions" had a little negro page to carry her train. For ten years they led as gay a life as the surroundings permitted, and then we are told that one morning, as Mary dressed for church and James and her brother, John Laug- harne, waited at the gate with horses ready saddled for the ride, there came a voice to her, saying, "Mary, go to Friends' Meeting today." So sure was she that someone spoke that she turned, saying, "Is that you, James ?" but there was no one there. She stood again before her mirror, and again came the voice, "Go to Friends' Meeting today," and again she looked with surprise to see no one there, and from the (193) 194 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y window saw the impatient horses pawing at the gate. A third time came the command, and slowly descending the stairs she at last appeared at the gateway with the announce- ment, ' 'We will go to Friends' Meeting today, James. ' ' ' 'And where is the Friends' Meeting, Mary?" he asked. "I do not know, but the horses will perhaps take us there, ' ' she ven- tured. So mounting, they rode off through the forest, cross- ing the little stream called the High Bridge, and slowly climbing the Duncale hill; and before very long came to a little log meeting-house in the woods (Fallston or Little Falls) , around which one more used to its appearance on First-day would have noted an unusual gathering, which in this in- stance betokened the visit of a noted minister of the gospel. Our little party entered, and soon the minister rose in the stillness, and, when he spoke of one to whom the voice of the Lord had spoken that morning and led to worship with them and for whom he was given a message, Mary list- ened and found it was for her. So much tradition has told us, and now we again turn to facts. From the records of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting we read: ' '5th month 26th, 1773. James Hicks and his wife Mary, ' ' etc. One more glimpse of Mary's impetuous character comes to us by tradition, that after joining Meeting she gathered her baby clothes, on which much work, expense and extra length had been lavished, and carried them to the open fire, threw them on it, and burned them all up. And now from this time on we are entirely dependent on records for the life of James and Mary Hicks. Both were active workers in the Meeting, and James an influential man in the neighborhood; and later during his hfe in "Baltimore Town," where they moved prior to 1792, we find him frequently acting as security, settling es- tates, etc. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 195 We can best give an idea of the times in which they hved and the work they were called to do, by copying some of the many entries from the records of Gunpowder Monthly Meet- ing during a number of years. From the Minutes of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting 5th mo. 26th, 1773. —James Hicks and his wife Mary and John Laug- han Malsby having been for some time past under care of Little Falls, and agreeable to request, are received as members. And from the womens' minutes: Mary Hicks and Constancy Lan- caster appeared here and having requested to be joined in membership with Friends, they having been under Friends' care for some consider- able time past, their lives and conversation appearing orderly and having the approbation of the brethren, they are by this Meeting received as members. 9, 20, 1774. —Agreeable to request of James Hicks and wife Mary, their children are received as members of our Society, namely : Susanna, Ann, Mary, James, Jane, and David. 3, 30, 1776. — James Hicks is appointed overseer. 9, 20, 1776. — Elisha Tyson and Mary Amos oifering intentions of marriage, Wm. Brigs and James Hicks are appointed to make necessary inquiries, etc. 1, 25, 1777. —James Hicks and Jno. Malsby appointed to visit Job Spencer. 4, 25, 1777. — This meeting has received amount of Divers Friends' Sufferings. Suffering to the amount of £155 lis 6d, whose names and sums as- signed is as follows : James Hicks, £7. 4, 25, 1777.— James Hicks appointed to prepare a certificate of re- moval. 3, 20, 1776.— Report being made that John and B F hath taken the Test which contains Principles Inconsistant with our Re- ligious Peacable Professions, James Hicks and Wm. Briggs are appointed to Treat with them. 2, 25, 1778. — B F., Sr., intends to appeal to the Quarterly Meet- ing. Therefore this Meeting appoints James Hicks, Wm. Bull, etc., to attend that meeting with a copy of minutes. 10, 31, 1778. — James Hicks and Joseph Dyer appointed to prepare some lines for a certificate for Wm. Briggs to Wrights Town. 7, 29, 1780. — James Hicks and John Mason are appointed to draw a few lines to testify against J. L for going out in marriage. 11, 25, 1780. — Agreeable to the advice of our last Yearly Meeting we appoint James Hicks, John Mason, and Joseph Dyer to inspect into the 196 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y state of the negroes, whether in a state of Bondage or Freedom, and to assist and advise as they may find occasion. This meeting being small we refer it to our next M. Meeting for an addition thereto. At the next M. Meeting Thomas Matthews and John Price, jun., are added to the committee and John Mason released. They are to report when called on. 3, 31, 1781. — Friends of Baltimore request leave to have an after- noon meeting at their Meeting house in Baltimore Town. We appoint the following Friends to meet with them on First day afternoon : Jacob Johnson, Wm. Amos, Sn'., James Hicks and Moses Dillon, and report their sense thereof to next Monthly Meeting. 4, 28, 1781. — James Hicks is appointed representative to Quarterly Meeting. 7, 28, 17S1. — Sarah R hath been guilty of dancing we therefore appoint Moses Dillon and James Hicks in company with Women Friends to visit her, etc. 1, 26, 1782. — James Hicks and Moses appointed to draw up some lines against the misconduct of Sarah R . 1, 26, 1782. — The Friends appointed to draw lines against the conduct of A L , W S , and Sarah N , have produced them, they are approved and put into the hands of James Hicks in order to be read at the Close of a Public Meeting at Little Falls if they don't incline to appeal, etc. 2, 23, 1782.— Case of Friends of Baltimore Town. Ruth H , Mary B and William W , hath gone out in marriage from amongst us, etc. James Hicks and others appointed. 3, 30, 1782. — The Friends appointed to draw some lines to Testify against the conduct of Ruth H , Mary B , and Wm. W , have produced them to this meeting and they are approved and put into the hands of James Hicks to have them read at the close of a Publick meeting where they have resided, if they don't incline to appeal, acquaint them of that privilege, serve them with coppies if they desire it and return s'^ papers to our next meeting. 5, 25, 1782. — Friends appointed in the case of B and N L report they visited them; it being no satisfaction this meeting therefore appoints James Hicks and Moses Dillon to produce some lines to Testify against their evil conduct, etc. At the next meeting, 6, 29, 1782, we find that as James Hicks has neglected to return the testification he is desired to return it at our next meeting. 6, 29, 1782.— John Sharp requests a certificate to Deer Creek M. M. James Hicks and Moses Dillon are appointed to prepare some lines for that purpose if after enquiring nothing appears to obstruct. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 197 9, 28, 1782.— This meeting informed that M R hath been guilty of dancing. James Hicks and David Lee are appointed to treat with him, etc. 10, 26, 1782. —James Hicks is appointed to attend Quarterly Meeting. 10, 24, 1782.— This Meeting being informed that Henry C hath for a long time neglected the attendance of our Religious Meetings and frequenting places of diversion, as also making too free use of spiritous Liquor, in which case this Meeting appoints James Hicks and Moses Dil- lon to treat with him, if they can get an opportunity, if not to draw a Testification against him and produce at next meeting. Little Falls, 1, 25, 1783.— This Meeting informs that Hester D hath married contrary to good order amongst Friends by the help of a Hireling Minister and to a man not of our society. We therefore ap- point James Hicks and Joseph Townsend to draw a few lines in order to Testify against her misconduct and produce at our next M. M. 1783. — A testimony produced against Eliza W — - for holding a negro in slavery, etc. 7, 26, 1783.— Little Falls M. M. William Bull and James Hicks ap- pointed with Abraham Scott in Philip H.'s case. These are perhaps sufficient to show something of the life and work of James Hicks. Opening next a book of the minutes of the Women's Meeting, we copy a few pages re- lating to Mary Hicks, whose name occupied an equally promi- nent part in that meeting, but in those days only a part of the business came before the Women's Meeting. From the Women's Minutes of Gunpoivder Monthly Meeting 5, 26, 1787. — Elkridge Preparative Meeting proposes to unite the two meetings, and Mary Hicks and Mary Malsby are appointed on the com- mittee in regard to it. 7, 28, 1787. —Mary Hicks is appointed a representative. Mary Hicks and Jane Wilson are appointed to prepare a certificate for Ann Moore to Buckingham. 12, 29, 1787. — Mai-y Hicks was absent and no reasons were given. 1, 26, 1788. — Mary Hicks gave her reasons for not attending last meeting, which were satisfactory. Mary Hicks, Mary Malsby and others are appointed to attend the Quarterly Meeting. 6, 28, 1788. — Mary Hicks is representative. 11, 29, 1788. — Mary Hicks and Mary Price to visit for accom- plishing her marriage contrary to discipline and deviating from our prin- ciples in dress and address. 2, 28, 1789.— Mary Hicks representative. 1, 30, 1790.— Mary Hicks is appointed on the committee to look after the poor. 198 THE MAULSBY FAMILY 1, 30, 1790. — Mary Hicks was appointed to make inquiry respecting the clearness of Margaret Dukehart. 4, 24, 1790. —Mary Hicks representative. 7, 31, 1790. — Mary Hicks representative but was not present, but a good reason for her absence was given. 2, 25, 1792. — Elizabeth H disowned for being married by a hire- ling minister. Mary Hicks was appointed to visit her. About 1792 James and Mary Hicks removed to Baltimore Town. Amongst the original members of Baltimore, from estab- lishment of the Meeting, 11, 23, 1792, were: George and Susannah Harris and two children: Mary and Beulah; James Hicks and Mary his wife, and seven children: Ann, Mary, Jane, Bathsheba, Henry, Tamar, and James. The total number enrolled was 234. The number of '"single men" and "single women" was given, and "apprentice lads" numbering ten. 1, 10, 1805. — A certificate for James Hicks and Mary his wife is given by Baltimore Monthly Meeting to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, and also one for their daughter Bathsheba. 3, 12, 1805. —A certificate for James Hicks, Jr., to Monallen Monthly Meeting. When James and Mary Hicks settled in Baltimore Town, they brought with them six of their little family: Ann, Mary, Jane, Bathsheba, Henry and Tamar. James, the youngest, was born here; they had buried a child of that name at Little Falls. Susanna, the eldest daughter, was already married for the second time, and she with her husband, George Harris, and children, Mary and Beulah, are also members of the new Meeting in Baltimore Town. David had remained at home on the Duncale farm, with perhaps his uncle Wheeler to take charge of that and the mill there, as we find no record of his coming to Baltimore. The Hicks home was No. 5 South High Street, and No. 7 was the cabinet maker's shop of Hicks and Low. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 199 The deed or lease is made out for lot 63 on the original plat. Front- ing on High St., 95 feet, back 166 feet to Lane's alley. Leased Jan. 23d, 1795, for 99 years, to be renewed from time to time, forever. This was subject to a yearly rent of £2i current money and taxes. About eighty years ago (1822), there was standing on this ground an old-fashioned white-cast house with dormer windows, and it was here most hkely that James and Mary Hicks lived for thirteen years. High Street in those days was filled with roomy old- fashioned houses, where many of the Friends lived. In 1805, with failing health, James longs for the quiet of his country home; and the family, now reduced to four, re- quest their certificates back to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting. James, Mary, and their daughter Bathsheba return there, where their son David is probably living, and James, Jr. , a physician, decides at the last moment to go to Monallen. James Hicks died the 19th of 11th month, 1808, and was buried at Little Falls. Reading between the lines of his last will, we see that the other daughters have no doubt been provided with their por- tion when they married, and now his first provision is for Bathsheba, in whose bequest we are much interested. The comfortable maintenance of his beloved wife is pro- vided for, and his two sons-in-law, George Harris and Joseph McCoy, are appointed his executors. At Mary's death, Ann McCoy, whose husband was better supplied with this world's goods than the husbands of the other daughters, gets but one-half as much as they. But the will is an interesting one, clear, concise, and business-like, and we copy it in full. Will of James Hicks Ninth month, 12th day, one thousand eight hundred and eight : I JamesHicks of Harford County in the state of Maryland being favored with my natural reason and memory do for the better setling of my tem- poral affairs and the disposing of the estate wherewith I am blessed withall, make, ordain, constitute and appoint this my last will and Testa- ment, revoking and hereby disannulling all other and former Wills and Testaments at any time before by me made, ratifying and confirming this only as my last will and Testament in manner and form following : — 200 IHE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y Imprimis. My desire is that all my just debts be paid by my exec- utors hereafter named. Item. I give and bequeath unto my daughter Bathsheba one brown colt between 3 & 4 years old, one side saddle and one bridle, one feather bed and furniture thereunto belonging, also four bed quilts, one breakfast table, six winsor chairs and one bureau. Item. My will and desire is that all the remainder of my real and personal Estate except an annuity of sixteen dollars and sixty-seven cents on two lots of Ground on High street in the City of Baltimore should be sold and that all the money arising therefrom and also all the money due to my estate over and above a sufficiency for the payment of my just debts may be disposed of in the purchase of Bank Stock and that the sales be made at such time as my Executors and Mary Hicks my wife shall think best. Item. I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Mary Hicks the above described annuity of $16.67 to her or her heii-s or assigns for ever. I also give and bequeath to my said wife Mary all the interest or dividends which may arise from the above named Bank stock during her natural life. It is also my will and desire that if the interest or dividends of the said bank stock should not be considered by my Executors to be sufficient for my said wife's comfortable maintenance that then they should sell such parts of said stock which they may believe to be necessary for the said purpose of maintenance, and render unto her the money obtained by such sale or sales. Item,. It is further my will and desire that all that shall remain of my estate at the Decease of my wife should be disposed of in the follow- ing manner. To wit: That my daughter Ann McCoy shall have one six- teenth part thereof and that the residue be Equally Divided amongst my other seven children, namely, Susanna, Mary, Jane, David, Bathsheba, Tamar and James. And lastly, I constitute and appoint my two friends George Harris and Joseph McCoy my whole and sole Executors of this my last Will and Testament, and my will and desire is that my said Executors will admin- ister on my Estate; in witness whereof I do to this present writing set my hand and affix my seal the day and year above written.

Of the ten children of James and Mary Hicks, James died young, Henry at eighteen; James, Jr., left no children, and David never married; so today of their descendants not one bears the name of Hicks. Of the daughters, Susanna married twice and left chil- dren; Jane married twice and left children; and Ann was twice married but left no descendants. These families were and their descendants have continued Friends down to the present time, with few exceptions. The other daughters, Mary, Bathsheba, and Tamar, were disowned for marriage to those not members of the Society. Bathsheba protested, but in vain. Indeed, in looking over the old records, we marvel that any members remained, and cannot but feel that they were dealt with in an unnecessarily arbitrary manner. 202 THE MAULSBY FAMILY But the Friends clung then as now to their birthright, and were often reinstated in membership. Four of the daughters were twice married; and one who knew them and who Hves today says they were handsome women. No doubt the air of romance that hung around the family, and visions of the Welsh fortune, brought suitors in numbers to their feet. For these were the years when Churchman, with power- of-attorney in pocket, was supposed to be collecting that wonderful fortune in Wales. After Bathsheba's marriage, the mother, Mary, again re- moves to Baltimore (3, 28, 1810), this time to the Western District and probably to the home of Ann McCoy on West German Street, near the new Lombard Street Meeting-house, but this was only temporarily, for on the 17th of 4th mo. , 1811,- Mary, the widow of James Hicks, was married to Enoch Gray of New Garden, Chester Co., Pa. The certificate states "with consent of parties concerned," and "at a public Meeting held at Lombard Street " — the fourth marriage in the new Meeting house. The following is the list of signers to the certificate: Isaac Underwood Geo.

Signed in and on behalf of Baltimore Monthly Meeting for the West- ern District held 6, 12, 1811. IzAK Proctor, Clerk Grace Knox On Fourth month 19th, 1819, we have one more ghmpse of Mary Gray, when she again comes to Baltimore and is pres- ent at the second marriage of Ann McCoy to Isaac Wilson, of Belmont Co., Ohio. Again we find that on the 6th of 1st month, 1820, Mary Gray requests of New Garden M. Meeting a certificate to Baltimore, which is granted and sent the following month. The last years of her life were spent in Baltimore, among children and friends. Two years later the executors of James Hicks close their accounts. Mary Gray was now sleeping the last sleep in the graveyard of the Eastern District, beside her brother John. She died 3d of 2nd mo. , 1822, aged 77 years. No family Bible has been found to this date, but the family is now so very widely scattered that this is not sur- prising. Some years ago, a copy of Job Scott's works, containing the family records, was in possession of Harris Graham; but it too has disappeared. One volume of the library of James Hicks is in possess- ion of the writer, in which his name is inscribed in a firm, clear hand, and the book. Volume I of George Fox's Journal, is designated as ' 'No. 6. ' ' o/pnej James Hicks rests in the shadow of the Fallston (Little Falls) Meeting-house, but no stone marks his grave. 204 IHE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y Mary Malsby Gray's Last Will and Testament In the name of God, Amen: I Mary Gray of the city of Baltimore, being now sick and infirm but of sound disposing mind and memory, do constitute and make the following my last Will and Testament, Viz. : I desire my friends to pay all my just debts and funeral expenses, then I give and devise my property in the following manner: To my son David Hicks I give the sum of one hundred and ten dollars to be paid to him at any time after the expiration of twelve months after my decease. To my son James Hicks I give and bequeath the like sum of one hun- dred and ten dollars to be paid to him in the above like manner. It is to be understood and I hereby direct that ten dollars of each of the above legacies is to be taken out of their sister Jane's share to be hereafter de- vised to her. I win and give to my daughter Susan Harris my silver temple spec- tacles. I will and give to my daughter Ann Wilson my new long cloak, and to my daughter Bathsheba Johnson my large looking glass. All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, I will and devise to be equally divided between my six daughters, namely: Susana Harris, Ann Wilson, Mary Underwood, Jane Cook, Bathsheba Johnson and Tamar Sitler. Whereas I have lent to my Grandson Jesse Cook, the sum of ten dollars since he has been in Baltimore, I direct that the same be taken out of the Legacy willed to his mother together with the aforesaid twenty dollars devised to my two sons. Whereas I have at different times loaned to my two sons-in-law Daniel Sitler and Robert Johnson small sums of money, yet unpaid, I hereby give them the said sums and request of my Executors to make no demands of them, it being understood I give up the same to them and their families. I request that my two daughters Susana tiarris and Ann Wilson shall have a full and discretionary power to divide and distribute accord- ing to the best of their Judgment all my Cloathing and household goods, in conformity to my intentions and devises in this will.

The name Hicks originated as a nickname, a form of Richard. The Hicks family were large land holders* in Maryland, receiving many early grants from Lord Baltimore. For a grant of land called Speedwell, of a hundred acres more or less, in St. Maries Co., John Hicks was to pay in the City of St. Maries, at the two most usual feasts of the year, viz.. The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin, and the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, the rent of two shillings sterling in silver or Gold. "Witness our dear son, Chas. Calvert, Esq. COECELIUS."

Charles Carrol leases to Henry Hicks, Chilmalira (or Clinmalira), a tract of one hundred and fifty acres in Baltimore Co., Md., To Henry Hicks and during the lives of James Hicks, Leban and Henry Hicks, sons of the aforesaid They yielding and paying therefore j'early unto said Charles Carroll, etc., on the first day of December the quantity of 900 pounds of good clean merchantable tobacco, clear of trash and ground leaves, to be delivered at some convenient landing on Gunpowder River in convenient cask to contain the same, and also two good capons, if de- manded.

Nor shall suf- fer more hands to work and till the devised premises than himself his wije and children and two servants. If the children should be unable to work, then he is allowed to take three servants. Shall allow free use of spring on land to adjacent tenant, and if Charles Carroll . shall erect a grist mill on this or an adjacent tract, then they shall make use of this mill, and no other, at lawful and customary tole. Shall plant 150 good apple trees before 5 years; they shall be forty feet distant. Shall trim them and keep them in order, and enclose by a fence, and in default shall pay ^6 to the said Charles Carroll. Shall keep houses and plantation in good order, etc. September 17, 1745. (Baltimore Deeds, Book D, p. 425.) In reading this remarkable lease of Charles Carroll of Carrolton one goes back to the old Saxon days in England. But even in Saxon days they did not attempt to say this man and his wife and his children shall do this work, or they shall do it with the aid of so many servants. Henry Hicks was a planter— owning one-fourth of his father's plan- tation, 400 acres, and two hundred acres of land purchased, making a plantation of 300 acres. To this is added the lease from Charles Carroll of 150 acres. Five years later, in his will, he directs that this land (leased from Carroll) shall be sold, and the money equally divided amongst all his children.

Co.), Pa., the 14th day of 6th mo. , 1750, and was ten years of age when the family settled near Forks Meeting House, Bait. Co. , Md. According to the records of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, his request to become a member was granted, Nov. 24, 1773. Sarah Rees's certificate was received at Little Falls from Warrington M. M., 4 mo. 10, 1779, and at the same time the marriage intentions of David Malsby, Jr. , and Sarah Rees were read, and the marriage was reported, in due time, as accomplished. Their early home was near Falls- ton, and in 1792 David Malsby, Jr., buys of Chas. Baker for p^l20 in specie, 100 acres of land, part of a tract called Antioch, near Winter's Run. Here they probably lived until 1st mo. 9th, 1811, when their certificate was re- moved to Baltimore, Eastern District Meeting. They lived on Lexington St. , near Liberty, and remained there until 1814, when the family again returned to the Fallston neighborhood. While in Baltimore, Pamela died 5 mo. 13, 1811; and Sarah Conway, 2 mo. 19, 1812; and both were buried in Eastern District burying-ground. During the following years, as well as in those already past, we find frequent mention of David and Sarah in the Gunpowder and Little Falls records. Owing to there having been four David Malsby 's during many of these years, attending the same meetings, and buying land in the same county, we find it impossible to 214 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y distinguish them, either in the meeting records, or in those of the land office, where their transactions are scattered through many volumes. We find: I. David Malsby, Sr. (the father), b. 1700, came to Maryland 1760, d. 17 . II. David Malsby, Jr. (the son), b. 1750, died 1830. III. David Malsby (the grandson), b. 1784, moved to Indiana, 1834. IV. David Malsby, son of Wm. Malsby and Rosanna, and nephew of David, Sr., came to Maryland about 1784, died about 1805. Settled near Belair, Harford Co., Md. Sarah Rees Malsby, died 4th mo. 8th, 1828, aged 75 yrs., 6mos., 17 days. David Malsby, Jr., died 3d mo. 17th, 1830, aged 80 years. And both were buried at Little Falls. In the letter of Frances Conway, she tells of her father having paid his passage money to England, but (and this is from another source) his wife was so loath to see him go, preferring to lose the prospective fortune rather than risk her husband to the uncertainties of an ocean voyage, that he altogether abandoned the idea of going. David and Wheeler Malsby died but two months apart. One who remembers them has said they were both worthy men, and both educated, which means, I suppose, a little better educated than the majority in those days.

At supper, Friend Pyle pushed toward him a glass cup-plate that he had overlooked, saying, "Here is a plate for thy cup, David." He looked at her with a twinkle in his eye, then slowly raised the edge of the tablecloth, saying with a slight drawl, "Well, thy table isn't so nice!" IV.

John Laugharne Malsby was born in Moreland Manor, now Montgomery Co., Pa., in 1753, 9th mo. 17th, and to him, her second son, Mary Laugharne gave her father's name— one that had been worthily borne by many generations of her ancestors. During his short life- time he proved himself worthy of the name. The tie between him and his sister Mary (Hicks) seems to have been a very strong one. Bearing the names of their Welsh grand-parents, they were yet Maulsbys as well, and had inherited the love of Quaker principles from their English ancestors. Together they requested membership, and were together received as members of Little Falls Meeting, and for the remainder of their lives endeavored to live the principles they professed, and were, each in a different way, diligent workers in the Meeting. John moved to Pipe Creek in 1778, and in 3d mo. , 1781, we find his marriage had been accomplished with Sarah Starr. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 217 He returns 1 mo. 25, 1783, from Pipe Creek, with a cer- tificate for himself, wife Mary, and daughter Racheh In 1784 he moved to Baltimore Town, where he leased Lot No. 63 on High St., and died thereat "his own house" the following year, 9th mo. 10th, 1785. He was buried in Baltimore Town. Memorial Testimony or Memorial, concerning John Malsby, late of Baltimore Town, deceased. This our esteemed friend, was born in Pennsylvania, the 17th of 9th month, 1753. His parents removed with their family to Maryland, and settled within the compass of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, whilst he was young in years; and being favored with an evidence of Divine grace, with earnest desires to make the necessary preparation for that awful summons: "Steward, give an account of thy stewardship, for thou mayst be no longer steward," which occasioned him to make a religious search and inquiry after the knowledge of God, and that worship which is acceptable to him, but could not enjoy true satisfaction of mind, until he came amongst Friends, which was in the year 1773. And having to experience the goodness of God to his soul, was concerned to bear public testimony thereto, and invite others to come, taste, and see how good the Lord is to them that love and fear his great Almighty name. In the year 1778 he removed within the verge of Pipe Creek Monthly Meeting, and soon after entered into a marriage state with Mary Starr, a member thereof; at which place he resided until the year 1783, and then, with the concurrence of his brethren, removed with his family and settled at Baltimore Town, where he was a diligent attender of meetings, and carefully concerned to take his family with him; cheerfully giving up his time to the services of Truth, when under appointment, but through diffidence, and under a sense of his own weakness, was rather backward in his appearances in the ministry, which were mostly short, but frequently attended with the seasoning virtue of Truth, made them acceptable and comforting to the living amongst us, who are truly sen- sible of our loss, but we trust it is his everlasting gain. After a short illness, he departed this life at his own house, the 10th day of 9th month, 1785, aged near 32 years, and on the 11th his remains were accompanied by a number of Friends and others, to Friends' bury- ing-ground there, and was decently interred, after which a solid meeting was held and several Testimonies borne, setting forth the uncertainty of our stay here, and the necessity of having oil in our vessels that our lamps may be kept burning against the midnight cry, "Behold, the Bride- groom cometh, go ye forth to meet him."* 218 THE MAULSBY FAMILY Signed in and on behalf of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, held at Gunpowder, the 29th of 4th month, 1786, by Joseph Townsend, Clerk. The foregoing Testimony being read and considered in our Quarterly Meeting, held at Baltimore the 6th of 5th month, 1786, was approved and signed on behalf and by order of the same, by Joseph Townsend, Clerk. John Laugharne Malsby was buried in the Old Town burying ground at Aisquith St. , and later his sister Mary was laid beside him there. Friends Records At the Monthly Meeting held at Gunpowder, 4 mo. 24, 1784, the name of John Malsby is proposed as an approved minister. And we copy a few of the minutes of Gunpowder M.

His parents' consent is produced in ivriting. And on the 21st Dec, 1781, John Maulsby of Pipe Creek in Frederick Co., son of David and Mary Maulsby, having consent of parents and parties concerned, etc., was married to Mary Starr. None of his family seem to have been present at the wedding, no one of the name of Maulsby having signed the certificate. John Malsby in 1784 Leases Lot 63. Bait. Deeds, R. 704.

The widow Maulsby had two children, Mary and David Maulsby. Richard Webb, Sr., by his second marriage, had one son, Richard Webb, Jr., who married Mary Walton about the year 1815. She died in the year 1834. And in the year 1835 he married Elizabeth Heaps.

His demand, 40 /. The said Gabriel Nanhorn also took from John and David Malsby, for a demand of £7, a mare thought to be worth £14. And for a demand of £3 he took from James Hicks a colt worth £7, 0, 0. 1778.— Taken from James Parr by James Barton, one mare valued at £15, for refusing to go to war. 1778, 8th mo. — Taken from John Malsby, Jr., by Joseph Rancher, for treble tax, 2 young cattle valued at £5, s. d. The "Association Paper" referred to in the Friends' records of the ' 'Meeting for Sufferings ' ' was the * 'Associa- tion of the Freemen of Maryland," a paper drawn up July, 1775, by the Convention of Maryland, and subscribed to by all its members, and designed to be also signed by all the freemen of the province. It began by stating the various grievances of the colonies, and continued: "We, therefore, inhabitants of the province of Maryland, firmly per- suaded that it is necessary and justifiable to repel force by force, do ap- prove of the opposition by arms to the British troops employed to enforce obedience to the late acts and statutes of the British parliament for raising a revenue in America, etc." Copies were sent through the counties for subscription, and lists of non-associates also returned. The latter were notified, Jan., 1776, to give in adhesion before April 10. If they refused, they were allowed to depart with all their property. If they wished to remain, the committee were empowered to disarm them, and if deemed necessary to require a bond that they would be guilty of no treasonable practices. The committee seem to have not understood that their paper was entirely opposed to the views of Friends, and could not be signed by them consistently. The committee probably thought the bond necessary; at least it was generally required, and the seizure of property from the Gunpowder Friends followed. Tamar and James Parr III. (26). Tamar Malsby was probably born in Moreland, and may have been married then to James Parr, who re- 222 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y quested to become a Friend and a member of Little Falls meeting. His wife was probably a member, but the Friends' records do not give her name, or those of her chil- dren. It seems probable that James Parr belonged to the Phil- adelphia family of that name who were Friends and emi- grants from Nottinghamshire, England. His parents were probably friends of the Malsbys. Unfortunately, I have been unable to obtain the name of his father, although I have made every possible effort to do so. The Bible of James Parr* was in possession of his grandson David, son of John, at Richmond, Virginia, some years ago. I at one time saw it, but unfortunately did not copy its records. It is now [?] the property of Alcesta, widow of John Parr, or her daughter Margaret, wife of Valentine Heckler, 2500 [?] Park Ave., Richmond, Va. I greatly regret not being able to give this connect- ing link, as the Parr history is most interesting. To judge from the inventory of the property of James Parr taken after his death, he does not seem to have been farming at that time, although the family tradition is that they lived at "Roselands, " Joppa.t Possibly they may have been living with and caring for the parents of Tamar at this * Years ago, when I was not so familiar with the peculiarities of writing in the older Friends' records, I made the mistake of copying "Pardo" [Pardoe] (written with the o on the end of the d) records for "Parr," and I sent them to a member of the family. Unfortunately they found their way, later, into print in a little history of the Parr family of Baltimoi-e. In the hope that they may not mislead the family further, 1 copy these records from an old note-book. Children of John C. and Sarah Pardo: Susanna, b. 1662/3; John, b. 1664; Re- becca, b. 1667; Sarah, b. 1670; Hester, b. 1673; Joseph, b. 1678. Sarah (Pardo), the mother, died 1694. Burled at Cliffs.

D.Preston Parr, Jr., in writing of the old grave-yard there .says : " He (his father), has seen piles of tombstones eight or ten feet high there, some of which would measure as much as a pile of cord wood containing fouror five cords. Most of these so broken up referred to the death, of parties born in England, Scot- land, Ireland, and Wales, etc. The largest number from England. There you see was a wholesale rooting out of the very oldest records of family foundations in Mary- land." THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 223 time, as another tradition of the Parrs is that the Malsby homestead was near Joppa. It seems likely that, although David and Mary Laug- harne Malsby spent the greater part of their lives in or near Philadelphia, their later days were spent amongst their children in Maryland, as they were buried at Little Falls— one would naturally suppose with one of the daugh- ters, either Tamar or Angelina. Tamar Parr married a second time, Dr. Lostater.

They seem to have been people with considerable property. William Parr of Shipston, Worcestershire (1678), was several times prosecuted for Tithes by the said Dr. Crowther. Upon one of these Prosecutions he was imprisoned above a Year at Worcester and a Judg- ment being obtained against him for 8 1. Tithes, he had taken from him 4 cows worth 14 1. And at another Time for 8 1. Tithes he had taken away 4 Cows and two Horses worth 30 1. The said Dr. Crowther had a power of holding an Ecclesiastical Court there, once in 3 years, to which the said Wm. Parr was cited for not coming to hear Common Prayer, and at appearing was committed to Prison by a Writ de Excommunicato capiendo, where he was remaining a prisoner two years and a half after. In 1660 William Parr was one of 47 sent to Prison for refusing to take oath. Anno. 1662. In the Month called May, William Parr was sent to Wor- cester Goal for refusing to pay Tithes.

H. D. went with him after we had done our busi- ness, to Dr. Redman's, to take his deposition on the same occasion. It is with a view of recover- ing for W. P's. children, some property in Notting- ham, old England, formerly belonging to Caleb Parr, father of William. 1798, July 28. — A suicide — It brings to my remembrance, a hired ser- vant who lived with Billy Parr at Point-no-Point, who put an end to his life by going down into the Necessary; he tore up ye seat, and let himself down in ye evening; was found dead there the next morning. The river was running within a few yards of the house. Why did he not prefer that more cleanly and I should think more easy method? 1800, June 8. — First day— The Locusts have come to town in great numbers this moi-ning. They are singing in a body in the trees in our yard and garden and flying from one tree to another. This is the fourth time they have appeared in my memory, tho I have noticed but three of the four. Ye first was in '48 or '49 when Samuel Parr lived in Chestnut St. next to Norris's. He had a spacious garden, and I remember he sent his mulatto girl Poll, to gather the Locusts up from off the Gooseberry and other bushes. She brought in, after some time, a com- mon hand basket half full, and threw them in the kitchen fire — perhaps more than a quarter peck. From the Journal of Elizabeth Drinker, 1759-1807.

(He bore the family name of Mary Laugharne's mother.) Tradition says a family Bible was burned the time the family moved into Maryland. Wheeler never became a member of Friends' Meeting, so we find no mention there as we have of the other members of the family, Tamar excepted. Wheeler Malsby bought a tract of 98 >^ acres of land, called Preston's Luck or Chance, from Thomas Bond in 1806, for $492.50. Here he lived and died. He never married, but his niece, Catharine Malsby Watkins, kept house for him. Morris Malsby settled his estate, as he had done that of his father, two months before. His chattel inventory is given as $246. 47, but the sales amounted only to S197.43. He too lies buried at Little Falls. His home was near Abington, eight miles from Fallston.

Proved 24 of May, 1830. Frances and Samuel McConnell III. (28). Frances Malsby was born 12th mo. 19th, 1761, the first of the httle family born in Maryland, on the "Hicks' Adventure," and "Bond's Forest" farm, and near the same time that her sister Mary was married to James Hicks. On September 28, 1782, the records of Little Falls tell us that Frances and Angelina Malsby request and are granted membership, and from this time on we frequently find their names on the Meeting books. 10 mo. 28, 1797, Samuel McConnellt and Frances Malsby's intentions of marriage are presented to the Monthly Meeting. He gives consent of parents, but hers are no longer living, her mother having died in 1792. The marriage certificate follows: Marriage Certificate Whereas Samuel McConnell of Harford Co. in the state of Mary- land son of Samuel McConnell late of Lancaster County, and of Ann McConnell now Ann Foster, and Frances Malsby Daughter of David and Mary Malsby of Harford Co. aforesaid deceased, having declared their intentions of Marriage with each other before several Monthly Meetings of the people called Quakers held at Gunpowder Meeting House in the County of Baltimore in the state of Maryland aforesaid according to the good order used among them and having consent of Friends con- cerned their said proposals of marriage were allowed of by the said Meet- ♦Wheeler was the only one of the family known to have had a slave, and this is why we do not think him to have been a Friend. Still, records were not perfectat that time, and he may have been a member. tMacConnell, a Celtic patronymic, is the English of MacConaill; Mac son of, and Conalll, the son of Conaill. It may be interpreted "'the son of the high or noble wielder." It is probably the same as MacDonnell. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 229 ing. Now these are to certify whom it may concern that for the full ac- complishing of their said Intentions this second day of the eleventh Month in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety seven he the said Samuel McConnell taking the said Frances Malsby by the hand did in solemn manner openly declare that he took her the said Frances Malsby to be his Wife promising thro' the Lord's assist- ance to be unto her a loving and faithful Husband until Death should separate them. And then and there in the same Assembly the said Frances Malsby did in like manner declare that she took him the said Samuel McConnell to be her Husband promising thro' the Lord's assist- ance to be unto him a faithful and loving Wife until Death should separate them. And moreover they the said Samuel McConnell and Frances Malsby (She according to the custom of Marriage assuming the^ Name of her Husband as a further confirmation thereof) did then and there to these Presents set their hand and We whose Names are hereunto also subscribed being present at the Solemnization of the said Marriage and Subscription have as Witnesses thereunto set our hands the day & year above written.

There their two children were born, and they were useful members (as the records show) of the Friends' Meeting, as well as the community at large. The husband was an active worker in temperance and the anti-slavery cause. Not for- getting that by education great reforms are more surely ac- complished, he with his son and other friends built a school for the children of the neighborhood, for in those days there were no public schools, nor yet for years afterwards, Samuel McConnell was a minister of the Society of Friends at Forest Meeting. In the history of Harford Co, , in speaking of the ministers of the last century, the two Friends are named: Bartholomew Fussell, ever faithful to the cause he served; Samuel McConnell, of strong mind, judgment and expression. The infirmities of age were long in coming to these dear people. The father when eighty years old still drove on errands of mercy in his old dearborn, often as far as Balti- more, twenty-five miles distant. And in the long winter evenings one who was a welcome guest tells us she remem- bers them seated, Cousin Samuel on one side and Cousin Frances on the other of the wide old fashioned chimney, in their high-backed chairs, while between them the great logs of the fire burned and crackled. There the grandchildren loved to come and gather closer around them as years passed. And to them in the old homestead came the final summons. The wife was taken first, and sitting alone the first evening the husband wrote: "My dear wife Frances* parted from my company this day." But it was not for long, for the next year he followed her, and they were laid side by side in the oldt Forrest Burying ground. IV.

M., 1, 10, 1805.— Samuel M'Connel is appointed to at- tend Quarterly Meeting. 1809. —Frances M'Connell is a representative. Samuel M'Connell's name is very frequent in the minutes, but a full record has not been made. Angelina and James Orr III. (29) . Angelina, youngest daughter of David and Mary L. Malsby, was born 1764, in Baltimore Co., Md., on the "Hicks Adventure" and "Bond's Forest" farm. With her sister Frances she joined Fallston Meeting, Sept. 28, 1782. Her name frequently appears as representative, and on various committees, from this time on until, in 1st mo. 31st, 1789, her intentions of marriage with James Orr were read at Little Falls M. M., and soon after she and her husband requested their certificate to Deer Creek Monthly Meeting. Here the remainder of her life was probably passed. James Orr was an elder of Deer Creek, and seems to have been an influential member, giving a liberal portion when subscriptions were raised in the meeting for various purposes. Later we find him disciplined for bad language and drinking, when he requests to be released as an ' 'elder, ' ' and names in his place his wife's nephew David (son of John L. Malsby) to succeed him. This is soon followed, however, by his disownment from the Society. Angelina lived but a few months longer, dying in 1814, second month 23d, aged fifty years, and was buried at Little Falls, 2 mo. 24.^'^ From this time on her husband went from bad to worse. This is mentioned here only because after his wife's death he seems to have come into possession of all those old family papers that have been hunted so long. Perhaps Mary Laugharne spent her last days with her youngest daughter. *See McConnell Bible. 232 IHE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y It is the tradition of several branches of the family that James Orr in some way deprived them of inherited rights. "Morris Maulsby, " so writes a member of the family, ' 'finally took up the cudgels of defence for the family, and a long chancery suit ensued, carried on during the rest of James Orr's life, and after his death by a woman named Betsy Sadtler, or Sadler, who, claiming to be his wife, retained successfully all that James* had grasped (during his lifetime. ) ' ' It was James Orr who finally succeeded in securing the family papers from Hannah Churchman, of Peach Bottom.

From the marriage certificate we quote ' 'son of Andrew and Mary, his wife, of Harford Co. , both deceased, and Ann, daughter of James and Mary Hicks." They were married at the Baltimore meeting house, 2'' mo. 17'", 1803; and the members of the family signing the certi- ficate were James and Mary Hicks, the parents, Enoch and Mary Underwood, Samuel and Jane Cook, David Hicks, James Hicks, Jr., Bathsheba Hicks, and George Harris. The home of Joseph and Ann McCoy was on German* St. , near Eutaw, a three-story brick house with one low broad step of marble, to the street, and is still standing. The old number was 31. Joseph McCoy was ' 'cotton and woolen card manufac- turer, ' ' 249 Baltimore St. , and was very comfortably off for those days. They had no children, and before many years Aunt Nancy was left a widow (1813). In 1819, 4th mo. 14th, Ann McCoy was again married, to Isaac Wilson, of Belmont Co., Ohio, with the consent of her surviving parent. She was married at the Lombard St. Meeting-house, and there were fifty-four signers to the certificate, amongst whom were Mary Gray (her mother), Enoch and Mary Underwood, J. G.

For a year she was very ill, and no one ever hoped to see her better again. But an operation on her side has relieved her of the previous suffering of years. May these lengthened-out days be unto her a time of refinement from all that is of earth and its cares, and give her to see the beauty of Heaven and Heavenly things, that she may know an increased growth in that life which knows no end, of the joys which an immortal world can alone give.

She was then disowned. 4 mo. 6, 1825. —A letter from Isaac G. Underwood, of Bait., to Joseph Kent, at Andrew's Bridge, Lane. Co., Pa., in which he speaks of Uncle Isaac Wilson and Beulah Harris. 12 mo. 19, 1830. —Beulah Harris writes in a letter to Maria J. Kent : "Aunt Mary and James Underwood very poorly, aunt's health declining for some time past." Little more is known of Mary Underwood. Her hus- band, Enoch Underwood, died early, and her sons, James and Isaac, died when young men, I think unmarried. * It may have been because of sickness that Ann Wilson did not sign her name, but up to this time education does not seem to have been as general in Balti- more as It was further north, possibly because a younger town. In a Friends' mar- riage certificate, dated 1822, among ninety-four signers, four women's names were written " by request." t Received at Bait. M. M., 10th, Tith mo., 1819, from Plainfleld, Ohio. Baltimore directory for 1822 gives him as Isaac Wilson, gentleman. 242 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y IV. (57. ) James Hicks, b. 6 mo. 26, 1767 ; died an infant. IV. (58. ) Jane Hicks, dau. of James and Mary Malsby Hicks, b. 2 mo. 15, 1770, on Duncale farm, Harford Co., Md. ; d. 1 mo. 28, 1849 ; was married, first in 1794 to Wil- liam Warner,* of Harford Co., Md. He not being a mem- ber of Friends, she was disowned for this marriage, 1st mo. 24, 1794. Testimony of the Monthly Meeting heldat Baltimore, 24th of 1st mo., 1794. Against Jane Warner (formerly Hicks), who hath had a right of membership with us the people called Quakers, but for want of a due re- gard to the dictates of Truth and good order established in the Society hath so far departed therefrom as to have her marriage accomplished by the assistance of a hireling to a man not of our society, notwithstanding she was precautioned to the contrary — which breach of good order we testify against and disown her from being any longer in membership with us until she comes to a sense of her error and condemn the same to the satisfaction of this Meeting, which that she may is our desire. She buried one child, a boy, William Warner,! who died young. Her husband lived but a short time, and Jane Hicks Warner \yas married again, 10 mo. 17, 1797, to Samuel Cook, of Warrington, York Co. Samuel Cook had a grocery store on Lexington Street, near the " New Market," and afterward a feed store at the southwest corner of Howard and Franklin streets, Baltimore. Their residence, w^here all their children were born, was at the northwest corner of Mulberry Street and Strawberry Alley (between Howard and Eutaw Streets), a two-story house with doi*mer windows, yet standing (1908), that has for some years been changed into a beer saloon. * Family traditions say her husband's name was Jesse, but I find nothing to verify this belief. The son of this marriage may have been called Jesse, but I think not. t The long gold baby chain and locket belonging to this child, and marked with the monogram \V. W., she gave, after all her other children had worn it, to her older daughter, Maria Jane Kent. It was again worn by her eleven children, and di- vided and worn by many of her grandchildren. Part of it is yet in possession of Margaret H. Maule, of Kennett Square, Pa. Her gold watch was given her son. Dr. Jesse W. Cook. It is the family belief that this son was named for the first husband. The middle name is his, but I think .Tefsse is for the father of -Samuol Cook. He gave the watch to his oldest son, Marcel- lious, who carried it for many years (a fine gold open-face watch). It was finally stolen from him when attending a" fair in Delaware County. Pa., only a few years ago, com- paratively, but I do not know the date. The locket, with the monogram W. W., was made into a breast-pin and worn for many years by Esther Jane Kent (Cloud), the eldest daughter of Maria J. Kent. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 243 In those days it was the last house out, and the back door opened upon the common. Here the children passed their early years going to the Friends' School at the " new " Lombard Street Meeting House, where the little Maria worked her first sampler* in 1812. Here she went to the marriage of her grandmother, Mary Malsby Hie ks, in the spring of 1811 (the fourth marriage to take place in the " new " meeting house), and on the certificate she wrote her namet, ' ' Moriah Cook. ' ' Jane Warner Cook dressed her daughters, Maria Jane and Mary Ann, in the Friends' plain dress of the day. They always wore the plain bonnet, one a little smaller than that of their elders, and of pure white instead of drab silk. Al- though their dress was plain, we have likewise heard of the white dresses with fifty tucks run by hand. Dressed wholly in white, with white silk bonnets framing their sweet young faces, they must, indeed, have resembled the lihes of the field, and with a vision of such as they before us, we wonder not at Lamb's saying, "Every Quakeress is a lily." O ^o/i^^n-. a^^-^zX^ In 1810, Jane Cook had been reinstated in membership with Friends, and the following year her husband and chil- dren were received, by request. Records The Monthly Meeting of Baltimore for the Western District informed that Jane Cook, formerly Hicks, had requested to be reinstated in mem- bership, and no objection appearing the Clerk was desired to unite with the clerk of the Women's in furnishing them with the necessary infor- mation. » Owned by Maria K. Davis. t She had been given by her parents the Bible name of Moriah (Mt. Moriah), but afterwards changed it to Maria. 244 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y ' 12, 12, 1810. —Jane Cook was received by her request as a member. In the following year Samuel Cook was also received as a member, 9 mo. 1, 1811, by request. Recorded in the book of membership for the Western District, Bal- timore : Samuel Cook, received by request, 1, 9, 1811. Jane Cook, received by request, 12, 12, 1810. Their children were : Jesse,* born 5, 24, 1801. Maria J., born 11, 24, 1803. Mary Ann, born 4, 12, 1806. Samuel H., born 11, 1, 1808. George W., born 6, 20, 1811. They were received as members of Baltimore M. Meeting, 11 mo. 13, 1811. The family removed to Warrington, 10 mo. 12, 1819. Removal to Warrington Heavy losses came to the family in Baltimore: the store was burned, and a valuable horse and cow likewise perished. Samuel Cook had also endorsed for a ship owner, by whom he lost considerable. In the fall of 1819 the family removed to Warrington, and here Samuel and Jane Cook spent their remaining years. They are both buried in the old Warrington Friends' grave- yard. Jane Cook's name is frequently found in the Meeting records at Warrington, where she was an active worker. Her husband, in his later years, was a minister. The family letters tell of frequent visits to Baltimore and elsewhere to visit Meetings and Friends, and one " long car- riage trip " (1842), to Ohio, where their son Jesse was living. Jane Cook is described by her grandchildren as tall and rather thin (unlike her sisters), with small face and very regular features, dark eyes and dark hair. Her grand- daughter remembers her as an immaculate housekeeper. She was likewise a loving wife and mother. ♦Jesse, in the original recoi'd, does not seem to have been given a middle name. He signs as witness to liis grandmother's will, Jesse H. (Hicks;, but seems to have later taken the middle name of Warner. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 245 Marcellious Cook remembers how when a boy he helped his grand- mother (after the flax had been carefully dried), to break, scutch and hackle it, in which latter process the tow was combed out, carefully saved, and afterwards spun for farm bags or for chain for carpets. The remaining flax was spun by her (Jane W. Cook) into the linen for the household. 58. Jane Hicks, b. 2 mo. 15, 1770; d. 1 mo. 28, 1849; m. William War- ner in 1794.

Cook was born in Baltimore, 5 mo. 24, 1801, and lived there until eighteen years of age, when he removed with his parents to Warrington, York County, Pa. (1819). Two years later he was given a certificate to York Monthly Meeting, where he was serving as an ap- prentice. The following year we find him in Baltimore with his grandmother, Mary Hicks Gray, studying medi- cine. In 1822 he was married in Baltimore to Elizabeth, daughter of Hosea Johns. At Warrington Monthly Meeting, held 9th mo. 18, 1823, Jesse W. Cook made an acknowledgment for his de- viation in performing his marriage "contrary to the order established amongst Friends," which was accepted, and he continued a member. On the 20th of 9th mo., 1827, Elizabeth Cook asks for herself and three minor children, Marcellious Samuel, Elizabeth Penelope, and The- odore, to be received in membership with Friends, which was granted two months later. In 1833, they removed to Russellville, Chester County, Pa., near which his sister, Maria Jane Kent, was living, taking with them a certificate from Warrington to New Gar- 246 THE MAULSBY FAMILY den Monthly Meeting for themselves and four minor chil- dren—Jesse and Hosea Johns having been added to their family. Here he farmed and practiced medicine for some years, then removed to West Chester, where he practiced medicine and kept a boarding school. From here Jesse W. and Elizabeth Cook removed''' (1839), to Selma, Clarke County, Ohio, and this was their home during many of the remaining years of their life. A part of the remainder was spent in Cincinnati, where Dr. Cook ac- quired a large practice. In 1863, Jesse W. Cook was appointed Surgeon, in charge of Third Division U. S. Military Hospital at Camp Dennison, Ohio, where he writes he was ' ' surrounded by from twelve to twenty-four hundred sick and wounded soldiers. ' ' From there he was transferred to the U. S. Hospital at Jackson, Mich., to superintend its construction; in charge of which he continued until the end of the war. During these years he attained an enviable reputation as a surgeon, and performed every duty faithfully and conscien- tiously, winning the esteem and respect of his fellow-man. t " It is astonishing, dear sister," he writes (1865), "how time ripens our feelings, how differently we see every thing after experience has taught us many valuable lessons we will not learn any other way. . . . Would that it was possible that our children as they grow up could appreciate our advice and profit therefrom, but nature's laws are fixed ; they must learn from experience as we did, and I have faith to believe that He who directed us thus far is still able and willing to guide, care for, and finally save them." Jesse W. Cook died 1 mo. 30, 1870, in Madison township, in the 69th year of his age, after an illness of fifty-nine days, caused by structural disease of the heart. *' Write my sis- ters," he said to a friend on his death-bed, " my faith is that of the ancient Friends to my last breath." * Dr. (!ook removed first to Cincinnati and six years later bouglit ttie farm at Selma. t He was presented a "Silver service by the citizens as testimony of his ser- vices as a physician and worth as an individual."

Maria Jane Cook, daughter of Samuel and Jane War- ner Cook, was born in Baltimore, Md., llmo.24, 1803, and educated at Friends' A Select School, Lom- bard Street. When sixteen years old the family removed to Warrington, York County, Pa. On 4th mo. 29, 1824, she was married in the War- rington Meeting House to Joseph Kent,* son of Dan- iel and Esther Hawley Kent, of West Bradford, Chester County, Pa. Her husband was a woolen manufac- turer, and the first year of their married life was spent at Andrew's Bridge, Lancaster County, Pa., where he had rented a woolen mill, and was likewise postmaster. The following certificate was forwarded : To Fallowfield Monthly Meeting, Chester County, Pa. : Dear Friends : Maria Jane Kent requests our certificate in order to be joined to your meeting; she being removed with her husband and set- tled within the limits thereof. On inquiry, no obstructions appearing, we recommend her a member to your friendly notice, and are your friends. Signed in and on behalf of Warrington Monthly Meeting, held the 23d of 6th mo. , 1824. Jesse Wickersham, ) „, , . ^ - Clerks. Ann Garretson, S Having bought a farm (Maple Grove), on the Little Elk, in Upper Oxford Township, Chester County, Pa., they re- moved here. The farm was mostly woodland, with but little cleared land, and with only a small log dwelling, but it contained a good water power. Busy years followed, a factory was first * Joseph Kent learned his trade at the factory of Elisha Cook, of Deer Creek, and was at this time a member of Deer Creek Meeting. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 249 built and supplied with water power by dam and race, and then other buildings followed in rapid succession. A frame part was added to the log dwelling, and a stone addition to that; finally a roomy brick colonial dwelling was built, with barns, outbuildings, mills and tenement houses. And here Joseph and Maria Jane Kent spent the remainder of their lives. Eleven children came to them, and nine lived to mature years and married. Their home was noted for its generous hospitality, and travelling Friends were always welcomed there and made at home by the gracious, queenly, loving mis- tress of the house. In 5 mo. , 1846, Maria Jane Kent was recorded a minister of London Grove Quarterly Meeting (Western Quarter) of Friends. Her especial gift seemed to be the power to reach the human heart and, discovering any dormant germs of good that might lie hidden there, to awaken them unto life and growth. This was more especially true of the young, who at once felt the influence of her presence, and the im- pulse toward higher living. " The task was thine to mould and fashion Life's plastic newness into grace ; To make the boyish heart heroic, And light with thought the maiden's face." Her life was one long sermon of loving thought for others, to whom she was ever ready to give a helping hand. Maria Jane Kent died at Maple Grove, 4th mo. 25, 1881, and was buried in the Friends' burying ground at Penn's Grove, at which place for so many years she ' ' sat head of the meeting."

In 1847 Joseph Kent writes in his diary that "eleven carriage loads of visiting Friends left Jonathan Wright's on their way to Indiana Yearly Meeting, going that day forty- four miles." In the party, beside themselves, were Eleazer Haviland and companion, Jacob Wil- lets, Lucretia Mott and companion, E. Peart and T. Paxton, Joseph Dugdale and others.

Although living in the Valley of Virginia during the Civil War, Franklin and Maria Davis suffered no hardships, excepting loss and de- struction of property. After the war, the feeling was more bitter toward Northern people, and this finally caused their removal from Rich- mond. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 253 He was several times drafted, but paid a substitute. In the final draft, when all men from sixteen to forty-five years of age were taken, he was ill with an attack of bilious fever, and so escaped. He several times "ran the blockade," to attend to business in the North. Confederate money was plentiful. They paid fifty cents per pound for coffee, and muslin and calico were twenty dollars per yard. Flour they paid for in gold, and it was ten dollars per barrel. Atone time Franklin Davis sold the hat off his head, a new one, for $1000. He was a prosperous business man, upright and just. 660. Samuel C.

Kent was with his brother-in-law, Franklin Davis, in the nursery business in Staunton, Virginia, before the War, and later in partnership with him at Rich- mond, Virginia. They were successful but strictly conscien- tious business men. When the nursery was removed to Bal- timore, in 1877, Samuel C. Kent retired from the firm, buy- ing a farm at West Grove, Pa. , where the remainder of his life was spent. He was much interested in Jersey and Guernsey cattle, and imported several herds. With his brother-in-law, Frank- 254 IHE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y lin Davis, and one or two friends, he started the Kent and Bissell Cattle Ranche in Wyoming, of which he was president and treasurer. Being in Stanton when the Civil War broke out, he ' 'ran the blockade," and made his way to Norfolk, where he was fortunate in meeting a party of officers of the Northern Army who had come from Washington on a secret mission in the Chesapeake. He was taken on board and made welcome among them. His pocket-book, filled with Confederate money, the officers divided, and generously gave him green- backs in their stead. He was deeply attached to his own meeting, and to the Society of Friends, and especially interested in the education of its younger members. He was always ready with influ- ence and money to aid the Meeting, and any good cause. He left bequests to Penn's Grove Monthly Meeting, to West Grove Preparative Meeting and to New Garden Monthly Meeting of Friends. He was a man of sound judgment, "upright in all his deal- ings, charitable to all." He was a man of great energy and ceaseless activity, interested in current events and well read. He was a loving, tender and generous husband and father. ' 'Few men had such an affectionate disposition, and lovable tenderness." V. (183). Mary A. Cook, daughter of Samuel and Jane Warner Cook, was born in the city of Baltimore, 4th mo. 12, 1806, and resided there until she was twelve years of age, when her parents moved to Warrington, York Co. , Pa. On 2nd mo. 29, 1826, she was married in Warrington meeting house to Cyrus Griest, son of Willing and Anne McMillan Griest, and they together commenced a life of industry and economy on a farm in the same neighbor- hood. In the spring of 1839, they purchased a farm at Menal- len, Adams Co., Pa., and with their six httle children moved into the house, which, with some remodehng and enlarging, remained their home during life. Three were THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 255 added to their little flock, and all, five sons and four daughters, grew to manhood and womanhood under the care and influence of this loving mother. In recalling the experiences of that home life, among the strongest impressions left with her children are their mother's unselfish devotion to the best and highest inter- ests of her family, and her deep concern that each son and daughter should go out from that home circle with every talent fully occupied, and with a "conscience void of of- fense towards God and man." She was an earnest and consistent member of the So- ciety of Friends, filled many positions of responsibility and trust in the meeting, and used every endeavor that her children should understand and value its principles and testimonies, believing them to be efficient aids for accept- able religious service and all right living. Her sympathy and loving ministrations did not stop with the home, but in times of trouble and affliction, when- ever or wherever sbught, they were freely given. 183.

Tyson was born in New Jersey in 1838 and went to Adams County, Pa., when quite a young man, and there carved out the prosperous career of a self- made man, having the esteem and respect of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He possessed a progres- sive spirit which he carried into all his undertakings. He was not satisfied with any kind of doing, but his effort was to excel. It was not the spirit to have things better than others, but to have them done as well as they could be done. This spirit was manifested in his nurseries, the care of his farm, in the beau- tifying of the surroundings of the home on the farm, and his influence had a far-reaching effect in his section of the county. His home became a type of the most beautiful country home in all the country about, with the effect toward the uplifting and development of the beauty of other homes. He took an active interest in everything involving the benefit and advan- tage of the community. His influence was ever for better con- ditions.

Most of these families, the descendants of Cyrus and Mary Ann Griest, still belong to the same meeting to which they belonged — Menallen, in Adams County, Pa. —ten miles from Gettysburg. Charles J. and Maria Tyson were living in Gettysburg during the battle. They left their home, when ordered to do so because of the bombardment, and when they returned found little disturbed. Bureau drawers had been emptied and all articles of linen taken. On the Brussels carpet in the parlor was a quarter of a peck of ashes where the rebel officers had burned their dispatches, but strange to say the carpet was not even singed. After the battle of Gettysburg a party of North Carolina Quakers (the Hinshaw brothers) , who had been forced to ac- company the Southern army, but who had refused to fight, finding themselves at liberty, inquired if there were Friends near the battlefield, and made their way to the Menallen neighborhood, and went quietly to work in the harvest fields of Cyrus Griest and others. They were arrested by the United States Marshal, as deserters, and thrown in Fort Del- aware, but were soon liberated through the influence of the Philadelphia Friends. V. (184). Samuel H.

The early years of their married life were spent on a farm in that neighborhood. In 1839 they, with their two minor children, Asahel W. and Maria Jane, were given a certificate to remove within the limits of New Garden Monthly Meeting, but before many years they returned to Warrington, where they dwelt during the remaining years of their parents' lives, living in part of the house with them, and farming their place. "^ Finally, in 1857, they removed to Indiana, taking the following certificate from Warrington Monthly Meeting: To Fall Creek Monthly Meeting, Indiana : Dear Friends: George W. and Elizabeth Cook requests our certificate for themselves and their seven minor children, viz. : Maria Jane, Samuel, Sarah Ann, Mary Elizabeth, Georgiana, Jesse G. , and Ruth Emma, to your meeting, and no obsti-uction appearing we recommend them as members and are your friends.

Here they were conscientious, useful members of the community in which they Hved, and have left many de- scendants who are to-day following in their footsteps. 1st month, 1747, George Cook writes his brother-in-law, Joseph Kent: "Susanna tells me thee is taking a city paper published by an asso- ciation of Friends [if I recollect aright the name of the paper is the In- telligencert], that thee is very much pleased with it, and as I have long wanted to take a city paper that would give general and useful informa- tion and that is not taken up with advertisements of patent medicines *7 mo., 1846, Samuel Cook writes to his daughter Maria: •'! have helped every day (since harvest commenced* a little to bind after the cradle, and reap some and rake."

Three years later she is married to Robert Johnson, and disowned from Friends, although she expresses a wish to be retained a member. At the time of their return to Harford Co. , Bathsheba Hicks is granted a certificate of removal to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, in 1805. From Gunpowder M. M., 7 m. 24th, 1811: The committee in Bathsheba Johnson's case produced the following report, viz: — We the committee appointed to treat with Bathsheba Johnson re- port that in company with another friend we have had an opportunity with her in which she expresses a desire to be continued in membership but also a submission to friends. As we understood she was seasonably cautioned we leave judgment in this case wholly to the Monthly Meeting. Signed: Edward Churchman, Elizabeth West, Ruth Whitaker, Elizabeth Amos. Whereupon Edw. Churchman and Amos Smith were appointed to pre- pare a testimony against her if no cause to forbear and produce at next Monthly Meeting. At the next M. Meeting the following was produced, approved and signed: Bathsheba Johnson, late Hicks, having after timely caution accom- plished her marriage contrary to our rules, we hereby disown her from membership with us until she return to the satisfaction of friends, which she may is our desire. Her home was at the corner of Baltimore and Light Sts. (where "The Hub" now stands), across from the old "Foun- tain Inn. ' ' It was a big square house, two stories, with dor- mer windows. Her husband died, leaving her with two boys— James Hicks and Joseph McCoy Johnson. "Aunt Bashaby" was a very handsome woman, growing stout in her later years. Her step son still living (1902) de- scribes her as "tall and remarkably handsome, as was also her sister, Tamar, who much resembled her. ' ' In 1824, when Lafayette visited America, he was enter- 262 THE MAULSBY FAMILY tained by "Aunt Bashaby." Her niece has told the story in this wise. Lafayette was staying at the old Fountain Inn, and when returning from a drive, as the carriage turned down Light St., saw "Aunt Bashaby" standing in her door. Struck by her appearance, he asked that he might be introduced to her. The introduction soon followed, and Lafayette was invited to tea, and the invitation was ac- cepted. The teapot from which he was served on this momen- tous occasion is a treasured heirloom in the family,— has figured at various Colonial exhibitions, and is now owned by the widow of her grand nephew, Joseph Cook, having been given to her sister, Tamar Sitler. Bathsheba Johnson was married a second time to David Newcomer, of Hagerstown, Md. , a widower with children, and there spent her later years. 5 mo. 19, 1844, Israel J. Graham writes in a letter to his cousin, Maria J. Kent: "We have lately had a visit from Uncle David and Aunt Bathsheba Newcomer. Aunt looks remarkably well and is very fleshy. Uncle David was tolerably well. "They were down at the time of the great Whig Convention, a time of great stir and excitement in our city, which well might be expected when we consider that there was added some forty or fifty thousand strangers to our present population, but which I am pleased to say all passed off without the occurrence of any serious accident, which too often is the result of such immense gatherings for political purposes." David Newcomer died, 1857, and his wife, Bathsheba, lived several years longer. She, Bathsheba, was buried in the Salem Reformed churchyard, near Clear Spring, Md., four and a half miles N. W. of Hagerstown, and the date of her death is inscribed there. Children of Bathsheba Hicks and Robert Johnson V. (186). Joseph McCoy Johnson, b. 1812, d. 1895. Was twice married and left one child.

His father died when he was seven years old, leaving the family in comfortable circumstances. His mother soon after married a wealthy man. At fourteen he was taken from school and put to work. Greatly desiring an educa- tion, he studied at night, until he acquired a fair education. He began life as a clerk. Moving in the most exclusive circles, he met and married, at the age of twenty-two, Mattie Powell, the grand-niece of President Zachary Taylor, one of the wealthiest girls of the South. Her father, a slave holder, had given his daughter the best education to be had. She was gifted with a beauti- ful voice, which was trained by a French teacher who had taught the children of the "crowned heads" of Europe. After his marriage, James Hicks Johnson became a planter, until after the war, when he was a merchant.

Tamar Hicks was born 6 mo. 19, 1781, and was disowned for marrying one not a member in 1804, 4th mo. 12th. She married Daniel Sitler, and lived in Baltimore until about 1816. They then went to Annapolis, and finally removed to Philadelphia. They lived for a time on Eleventh Street, just north of Market Street. At this date this location was a suburban district, and from Broad Street to the Schuylkill was largely forest. Later they lived at No. 103 N. Third Street, Philadelphia. [We have elsewhere given a letter from her oldest son, Henry.] The early records of Baltimore mention Tamar Hicks as owning several pieces of property,* and our old directory of 1799 tells us that she kept a ' 'cook shop' ' here. A ' 'cook shop' ' —what a tasty name! Immediately on seeing it there arises before one's mind's eye the vision of the delicious home-made pies and cakes that Tamar no doubt offered over her counter to her numerous and appreciative customers. But ere long she married, and ten children were born to her. Tamar Hicks Sitler died in the spring of 1859. The later years of Dr. Daniel Sitler and Tamar Hicks Sitler were spent with their daughter, Elizabeth Sitler Humphreys, in whose care they both died, and were buried in the Friends' Burial Ground near Camden, N. J. 62. Tamar Hicks, b. 6 mo. 9, 1781; d. ~ — , 1859; buried in Friends' Burying Ground, near Camden, New Jersey,* m. Dr. Daniel Sitler, 1804. They lived in Philadelphia.

Elizabeth Sitler Humphreys was a very intelligent woman ; well read, and at seventy-five could repeat most of Scott's and Cowper's poetry. Francis Humphreys was an engraver, and associated with John Sartain introduced mezzotint engraving into this country. He was educated at the Germantown Academy* in School Lane, Germantown, and studied engraving with his brother William. He did a great deal of fine bank-note en- graving. Old numbers of Godeys' Lady's Book contain some of his work. He reproduced much of Turner's work, and also completed a set of engravings illustrating Scott's novels. He was of an English family, but born in Dublin and brought to America when two years old. His brother returned to Eng- land and died in Italy. Francis Humphreys' descendants have no other relatives of the name in America. V. (183). Beulah Sitler, died quite young. V. (184). Daniel Sitler, m. Annie Fox; d. in New York in the late 70's.

It was an English and Dutch school, both languages being taught, also Greek, Latin and higher mathe' raatlcs, and the "rudiments of good raauners." It was expressly required that youths of Quaker parentage should not be required to take off their hats in saluting the teachers. In 1761 a lottery was started for the raising of funds lor the school. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 267 706. Stephen P. Russel Sitler. 707. Elizabeth Humphreys Sitler (Hood). 708. Charles R.

IX GRANDCHILDREN OF DAVID AND MARY LAUG- HARNE MALSBY Children of David and Sarah Malsby IV. (64). Morris Malsby. "March 16, 1802, Morris Malsby & Mary Lee were mar- ried "by Rev. John Allen, then rector of St. George's Parish, Harford Co., Md.— (Copied by J. Jay, Register of the Parish, March, 1885. ) They do not seem to have lost relations with the Society of Friends on this account, for a later record says : "1804. Morris Maulsby and wife bring a certificate from Gunpowder Monthly Meeting to Deer Creek. ' ' A little later, however, Morris is actually dismissed : "7 mo. 27, 1809. -Maurice Malsby disowned. Guilty of pursuing a man with fire-arms who offended him." Morris Malsby is known to have been concerned in a law suit with James Orr (see letter from D. P. Parr, p. 10, above) , and it may be that it was Orr who aroused such anger. A tradition says that the separation of Morris from the Friends was due to his having taken part in the Battle of North Point, 1814. But the date of dismissal disposes of the tradition. Mary Malsby, wife of Morris, remained in relations with the Friends, for we read : "11 mo. 22, 1810.— Mary Malsby, wife of Maurice, re- quests a certificate for herself and two minor children, David Lee and Rebecca, to Gunpowder. Certificate is signed for herself and son." The omission of Rebecca from the certificate is prob- ably due to her being a very young child — eight months old. Morris Malsby, son of David and Sarah Malsby, was a farmer, potter, and blacksmith. He was a very choleric (269) Mary Lee Malsby, "Aunt Polly" IHE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 271 man.

She lived in Harford County and Baltimore City until her mar- riage in 1824 to William Dorsey Conway, an Irishman by birth, but of Welsh descent. He had travelled exten- sively through Europe when a young man, and upon the death of his mother, Marjorie Dorsey Conway, came to America with his brother, Martin Conway, and a nephew, whose Christian name was James. James very soon be- came homesick and returned to Ireland. Martin went into the dry goods business with his brother, and lived only a short time after his arrival here. It is related that William Conway, going down Lexing- ton St., one day, saw standing in the doorway of her home a young lady (Sarah Maulsby), of such surpassing beauty that he instantly fell in love with her, and im- mediately set to work to obtain an introduction. A mutual friend made them acquainted, and they were married in 1810. Their only child, Sarah Pamelia, named for her mother and aunt, was born a year afterward. At her child's birth, Sarah Maulsby Conway died. 276 THE MAULSBY FAMILY After the death of his wife, W. D. Conway studied medicine at the Maryland University, residing the while with his father-in-law, David Maulsby, Jr., on Lexington Street near Liberty. After graduating from the Mary- land University in 1816 (his diploma is owned by Ella Laugharne Martenet) , he became surgeon in the United States Navy (his commission is in the hands of William A. Conway, of Washington). He married Frances Ann Maulsby, a sister to his former wife, 1824. They bought a place in Harford Co., Md., called Breton's Hill, not far from Fallston, where they lived until 1831, when they sold the place and went to St. Augustine, Florida. They planted an orange grove, and a short time afterwards there came an exceedingly heavy frost, the heaviest ever known in that part of the country, which killed every tree. A year or two after this calamity they moved to Charles- ton, South Carolina, where William D. Conway practiced medicine until his death in 1840, of yellow fever. His wife, a year later, returned to Maryland with her five children and Pamelia Conway. She lived in Baltimore a number of years, then went to Washington, where she spent the remainder of her life. She died in 1872, in her 78th year. While living in St. Augustine the family were in con- stant dread of the Indians, who at that time committed many atrocities on the white settlers, often visiting them in daytime with friendly words, only to make use of in- formation so gained for bloody purposes when night came. One of their neighbors was obliged to sit by and see them scalp her seven children, and then forced to sit and dry the scalps in the sun. The Conways' Charleston home was an interesting old house, said to be haunted, and of it strange stories were told. The lower part of the house was stone, and in it were the kitchen and dining room, but the living part was the frame second story, with its broad piazza, to which access was had by a flight of steps from the garden below. 7 HE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 277 V.

He removed to St. Angnstine, Florida, with his parents, in 1831, and from there to Charleston, South Carolina, a year or two later, where he attended college. Upon the death of his father in 1840 he came to Baltimore with the rest of the family, where he studied the drug business. He married his first cousin, Sarah Ann Maulsby, the widow of Thomas Amos and the mother of one child, Thomasanna Amos, He emigrated to Kansas and took up land. A year later his wife and her daughter joined him. They had three children, Marinus Willet, Oscar Clifford, and Inez who died at about the age of sixteen.

He removed with his parents to St. Augustine, 1831, and to Charleston, 1832; and upon the death of his father returned to Baltimore in 1840. 278 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y John H. Hewitt, in his ''Shadows on the Wall, or Glimpses of the Past," in speaking of him as a young man, says: "His mind was thoughtful, active, and orig- inal, and with a talent for oratory he sought associations which enabled him to develop it. He was a member of the Baltimore literary societies known as the 'Jefferson, ' which met at Marion Hall, the 'Murray Institute, ' which met in the basement of the Universalist Church on the corner of Calvert and St. Paul Sts., and the 'Minerva,' which met at what is now called Douglas Institute, on Lex- ington St." He learned the trade of printer in the American and Republican newspaper office, and became an able writer in the Republican and Argus. He studied law with Henry Stockbridge, Sr. , and emi- grated to Kansas about 1853, during the stormy days of "border ruffianism" and "Sharp's rifle missionary work." He took the Free State side of the controversy, and be- came the first representative of Kansas in Congress, where he served with distinction for two terms. He made a remarkable speech early in the war, in favor of letting the South peacefully secede from the Union. This not only attracted attention all over the country, but was translated and reprinted in the leading papers of France and Germany. It was a speech indicating severe thought, and confessedly able, but it lost him the sympathy of the Union men in Kansas, and they left him out in the next election. He was to have been a member of Lincoln's second cabinet. He was appointed consul to Marseilles, France, by Pres- ident Johnson. He married Miss Emily Frances Dykes, and resided in Washington, D.C., during the latter part of his life. He died there, in the year 1875, of pneumonia. He left one child, PameHa, now Mrs. Homer B. Harlan, of Washing- ton, D. C.

William Oscar Conway was the third child of WiUiam Dorsey Conway and Frances Ann Maulsby. He was born in Harford County, Maryland, in the year 1830; went with his parents to Saint Augustine, Florida, in 1831, and moved with them to Charleston, South Carolina, a year or two later. Upon the return of his family to Baltimore, he studied printing. At the age of twenty- one he became the assistant editor of a newspaper in An- napolis; afterwards studied law and became a land-law examiner in the Land Office, Washington, D. C, contin- uing there until his death in May, 1904. The April pre- ceding his death, having been in the Land Office for fifty years, he was presented with a silver loving-cup by the men in the office, by whom he was held in very high es- teem. He married Beulah Anna Grahame, about 1862. They had five children., All but two died during child- hood. The names of the surviving ones are Mary Frances and William Oscar. V. (211).

X GRANDCHILDREN OF DAVID AND MARY LAUGH- ARNE MALSBY Children of John Laugharne and Mary Starr Malsby DAVID MALSBY (72), son of John Laugharne and Mary Malsby, and Mary Coale were married 1806. They were members of Deer Creek Meeting, Hving first at Bush*, and later on Deer Creek, near Darlington, Harford Co., Md. They removed to Richmond, Indiana, about 1833. From the Deer Creek Friends' Records 10 mo. 23, 1806. Committee report that they attended the marriage of David Malsby and Mary Coale, who were married 8 mo. 28, 1806. The certificate was signed by [aunt] Angelina Orr, [sister] Mary Malsby, [mother] Mary Webb, and many others. 8, 24, 1809. The committee on building a meeting house at Abing- don report that they have obtained subscriptions to the amount of $340, have contracted for yard and had it surveyed, and agreed on dimensions of Meeting house and estimate of expense. House to be 24x18 ft., and cost calculated $440. James Coale, Joshua Husband, David Malsby and John Jewett are appointed trustees to whom the lot must be conveyed. William Williams writes in his journal (1828) : "That afternoon (1813) ■ got to Bushtown, to the house of our kind friends, David and Mary Malsby; where I staid on First day, the 13th, 6th mo., and on Second day, feeling better and anxious to get forward, parted with our kind friends.

"Had a large meeting at Deer Creek; Second day a highly favored meeting at Fawn; then on Third day we rode to our kind friends David and Mary Malsby's and on Fourth day had a small, yet highly favored meeting at Abingdon." Feb. 20, 1833. Samuel McConnell writes. "Lodged that night with my wife's nephew, David Maulsby, on the banks of Deer Creek." 1831, Maria Jane Kent writes to her mother, Jane Cook: "On our way to Baltimore we called atuncle [greatuncle] Samuel McConnell'sand found them well. Aunt quite as fleshy as she used to be. On our return we called at Cousin David Malsby's and found them also well." *Bush was formerly the county seat of Harford Co. (282) THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 283 10 mo. 1833. A certificate of removal is granted to Lydia, Mary, and Margaret Malsby. 1 mo. 1834. A certificate of removal for John Lathorn [Laughame] Malsby granted. Certificates of removal are granted to his family by Deer Creek Monthly Meeting, but one for himself is not given until after the following acknowledgment is received. 10 mo. 16, 1834. An offering received from David Malsby from White Water monthly meeting, read and accepted: — I am very sensible that it was for want of attending Limitation of Truth and uncontrolable events that I failed in my circumstances and in my tried moments I neglected to call my creditors together and gave the Lawyers a mortgage on my property and also wrote to my security a letter all of which I am sorry for. David Malsby. A certificate is then prepared for David Malsby to White Water Monthly Meeting. [Themselves and minor son, John Lathorn Malsby, spoken of.] David Malsby, son of John Laugharne Malsby, was a blacksmith, and after his removal to Richmond, Indiana, carried on the business quite extensively. His shop, a long, low building, must have been a picturesque sight, with its six forges, and busily employed apprentices. He manufac- factured plows, and probably did other work somewhat out of the usual line of black-smithing. Merchant B. Williams, the grandson of his cousin Susan- nah Maulsby Baldwin, was one of his apprentices. His daughter Lydia has related the following story: The following incident, says Abel Mills, was related to me by Lydia Maulsby Elliott, during my attendance upon the recent sessions of Prairie Grove Quarterly Meeting, at West Liberty, Iowa: "When my mother, Mary Maulsby, was about eignteen years old, she was keeping house for her brother and took in sewing. She had under- taken to make a waistcoat for a colored man who was going to be mar- ried. She believed she could not get the work done without absenting herself from a small indulged mid-week meeting. She arranged the work and spread it on the table. She was instantly struck with blindness. She groped her way around to a chair and sat quietly down and prayed that her eyesight might be restored, and if granted she would never let business prevent her from attending the meeting. Presently her sight 284 IHE MA ULSB V FAMIL Y returned, and she started to meeting on foot. On coming to a creek, a passer by took her into his vehicle to the meeting house. At the close of the meeting there was another opportunity to be conveyed to her home. Providence thus favoring her, she was enabled to finish the work she had undertaken. "My mother lived to be eighty-seven years of age, and I am eighty- four, and I never knew her to neglect the attendance of meetings when health would permit." Believing this to be a proper time to place this testimony before the world, I send for publication. Abel Mills. Mt. Palatine, 111. From Friends' Intelligencer, 3 mo. 26, 1892.

XI GRANDCHILDREN OF DAVID AND MARY LAUGH- ARNE MALSBY Children of Tamar and James Parr JOHN PARR (74) was a "cabinet maker" [Bait. Direc- tory] , but also a potter. The sons of James and Tamar Parr were all potters, as was perhaps also their father. They were probably the earliest potters of Baltimore. John Parr, b. 1 mo. 1, 1778; d. 12 mo. 20, 1811; m.

He was for a time in business with his uncle EHsha on Pitt St. (probably the original Parr pottery) , as was also "Big Jimmy Parr," who was, I think, his cousin. David Parr then had a pottery on Bond St. , and removed to Rich- mond about 1850. Het was a strong Southern sympathizer and during the war, when cannon balls were scarce, made them of clay for the Southern army. He lost all when Richmond fell. The earlier Parrs were very tall, hand- some men. David Parr, b. ; d. ; buried in Hollywood ceme- tery, Richmond, Va.; m. Charlotte Benner.

At an early age entered, as a clerk, the prominent grocery and shipping house of Wm. McDonald & Son; in a few years was admitted to partnership, and at the death of Mr. McDonald, in 1846, Mr. Parr and James McConkey succeeded to the business. Mr. McConkey died in 1870, and Mr. Parr continued the firm under his own name until the year , when his son, Henry A., was admitted, and the firm name became I. M. Parr & Son, and so continued until the death of Is- rael M. Parr, August 1, 1901. The firms of I. M. Parr and I. M. Parr & Son, as the records will show, conducted for a number of years the larg- est grain exporting business of Baltimore, and were among the leading exporters of the United States. Mr. Parr was ever deeply interested and an active participant in all matters tending to the commercial welfare of Baltimore. He was one of the original members and founders of the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange, organized in 1843, which in after years was reorganized under the name of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Parr was a most influ- ential member of these two bodies, and had the honor of holding two or more presidential terms in each. He was president of the Baltimore Board of Trade for one or more terms, president of the Baltimore Elevator Co. , a director in the Farmers and Merchants National Bank, and occu- pied at different times numerous positions of honor and trust. A man of noble character, kind, generous, and just, one whose life exemplified honor and sagacity in all his commercial relations, truth and fidelity in his relations to his fellow men, and love and cheer to his home circle. 290 1HE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y Israel Miltiades Parr, b.

Lucretia Parr Monroe moved the business to N. Eutaw St., where she carried it on for a number of years. Elisha and Elizabeth Preston Parr were members of the Presbyterian church. The Prestons were pioneers in York Co. , Pa. , and while visiting her parents just before the birth of her daughter Lucretia, Elizabeth, one day, when climbing a fence near the house, had an Indian shot graze her face and take one of her curls with it. She had presence of mind enough to go quietly on her way and was not molested further. Elisha Parr enlisted for the defense of Baltimore in 1812, and served in the "Maryland Line." V. (226).

XII GRANDCHILDREN OF DAVID AND MARY LAUGH- ARNE MALSBY Children of Frances and Samuel McConnell MARY McConnell, (77). Mary, daughter of Samuel and Frances McConnell (born on the old Mechem farm), married Isaac Whitaker and had a family of seven daughters and two sons. ' 'She was a good woman, " and her long married life was spent in one home near Forest Hill, on the farm that was part of "Whitaker's Invitation." This grant of one thousand acres had been made to her husband's father Joshua Whitaker,! who later divided it amongst his children, of whom there was a large family. Joshua Whitaker was a slave owner, but his daughters having become members of the Society of Friendst and he likewise leaning that way, he liberated all his slaves before his death. *The original grant was for four thousand acres, to the father of Joshua Whit- aker. One thousand came into possession of Joshua, who was a tobacco planter, and with his slaves rolled the casks of tobacco down the Joppa road to the wharf at Joppa. The original Whitalser's Invitation extended from Abingdon thiough, or near, Belair to Forest Hill.

McConnell, wife of Samuel R. McConnell, of 1015 N. Sixth Street, Burlington, Iowa, died September 12, 1908. She was born in Havana, Huron County, Ohio, March 21, 1846, and was the daughter of John S. and Lucinda Hester. She was an earnest and sincere member of the Methodist church, "firm in the faith and never tiring of good works." "She was a graduate of Baldwin University, of Berea, Ohio; the Dela- ware, Ohio, college, and Professor Steele's school of music." It was at Baldwin University that she first met her future husband, and they came to Burlington immediately after their marriage, January 16, 1873. They had two children, a son, Charles, born February 18, 1875, died March 17, 1882; and their daughter Hester. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and interested in all good works, in any of which she was well qualified to take a leading part. Her interest however centered in her home, "and it was from the home that her influence for good went out, and the good work that she did among and for those upon whom misfortune had frowned, was done so simply and so naturally, and so quietly, that it never attracted the attention of any who shared the honor of her ac- quaintance. She was a fine type of the very best of American women; prosperity did not spoil her, and in the depths of adversity she would have been the same cheerful, quiet. God-fearing woman, commanding the respect of all. " — Extracts from the Burlington Hawk-eye. V. (244). Nicholas Cooper McConnell, b. 6 mo. 30, 1844; d, 2 mo. 16, 1848.

Bible Records The date of the death of Frances McConnell having been omitted on page 230, the following records are given from the bible of Samuel McConnell, printed 1814, now (1885) in pos- THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 301 session of his grandson, Samuel R. McConnell of Burlington, Iowa. Frances McConnell departed this life on the 24th of 5th month, 1843, aged 81 years, 4 months, and 14 days, and was interred in Friends' burying ground at [old] Forest Meeting. Samuel McConnell departed this life on the 18th of 7th mo., 1844, aged 81 years, 5 months, and 5 days, and was interred in the Friends' burying ground at Forest Meeting. The deaths of David and Wheeler Malsby, the brothers, and that of Angelina Orr, the sister of Frances McConnell, are also recorded in this Bible. It is the only one that has been found belonging to the children of Mary Laugharne. The David Malsby Bible, possibly that of the father of the above, was burned in a fire in Kansas. The Parr Bible was at Richmond, Va., and of the others no trace has been found. History of Little Falls Meeting Some history of the meeting attended by so many of the Maulsby family, and where so many of them were buried, will probably be of interest to the family. Little Falls Meeting is located in Harford Co., Maryland, twenty miles northeast of Baltimore, eighteen miles east of Gunpowder, and ten miles northwest of Magnolia Station, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal- timore R. R. , whence there is a stage daily. The circumstances attending the establishment of this meeting are peculiar. From an account furnished Friends' Intelligencer, some years ago, by our esteemed Friend, Joseph Foulke, deceased, I extract the fol- lowing : William Amos, a military officer, who held a large tract of land in Harford County, about the year 1738, when walking one First-day morning over his premises, was induced to sit down on a log. Here his meditations and devotions were such as he regarded it as worship. He went again, and was deeply impressed with similar feelings. After continuing this practice for some time, he named the circumstances to some of his worthy neighbors, some of whom were induced to come and sit with him on the log. Others fell in by degrees, until their number in about six weeks in- creased to nine, when the log was nearly occupied. After meeting here for some time they inquired among themselves whether there were any other people who worshipped in this way. Hav- ing ascertained that their worship was similar to that of Friends, they went to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, a distance of nearly twenty miles (William Amos himself in his military costume). They laid their case before the Meeting which, on deliberate consideration, received them into unity and membership, and at once granted them an Indulged Meet- ing. The nine then erected a little cabin, which answered for a place of 302 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y worship about one year. They soon erected a log house, which answered their purpose for several years. This they subsequently enlarged, for an additional accommodation as a school house. At length they found it necessary to enlarge again, and erected a substantial stone meeting- house in place of the log building. In 1843, the present large and comfortable stone building was erected. From Friends' Records, 22nd of 8th mo., 1753, we find mention in the records of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting of a deed of gift from Thomas Bond, Sr., to his sons, Thomas and John, for the use of Friends, forever, of the land whereon Friends' Meeting House at Little Falls is built. This land was a part of Bond's Forest. The school house is likewise men- tioned as being here located. Establishment of Little Falls Meeting (Taken from records of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting and Quarterly Meetings.) In the year 1749 (8 mo. 2nd), Thomas Bond, Sr., gave one acre of land for the use of Friends, forever; and on it a meeting house, and later a school house of log, were built about this time. On the 27th, 9th mo., 1751, John Chalk, Willliam Amos, and Thomas Miles requested to be taken under care of this meeting, which is granted. 2, 25, 1752, William Wilson and several other friends and friendly people Dwelling on the North side of the Gunpowder River were at the meeting and Desired the approbation of friends to keep a publick first day meeting for publick worship of Almighty God convenient for them on little falls of the sd river which to this meeting appearing reasonable provided the approbation of the Quarterly Meeting be obtained. 8 mo. 11, 1752. At the Quarterly M. held at West River the commit- tee appointed at the preceding Meeting report in regard to Little Falls "such satisfactory information that it seemed good to grant their ap- probation." 22, 8, 1753. The committee appointed to survey the deed of gift of Thomas Bond, Sr., to his sons Thomas and John of an acre of land, part of the tract called Bond's forest, for use of Friends forever, report hav- ing surveyed that land (giving boundary lines), containing the present Meeting-house and school house. Signed: William Parrish, John Chalk, Thomas Bond, Sr., Thomas Matthews, Wm. Amos, Thos. Bond, Jr., Joseph Taylor, Henry Wilson, John Bond. 1754. Little Falls asks for a "mid-week meeting to be held on the fifth day before Monthly Meeting, and that at the close of the meeting for worship a preparative meeting may be held.

Story of Revolutionary Days It is related that during the Revolutionary war ' 'part of the Ameri- can army lay near the Gunpowder Falls meeting-house, which did not prevent the Friends from holding their usual meetings for worship. "Among these troops was a colonel of dragoons, whose resentment against Friends was raised to such a pitch of malice, that one day when traversing the country he came to the most extraordinary and cruel reso- lution of putting to the sword the Friends who were then collected at their place of worship; considering them no better than a company of traitors. Drawing up his men near the spot, he ordered them to halt, in order to make arrangements for the execution of his dreadful purpose. At this moment an awful silent pause took place, in which he felt his mind so powerfully smitten with convictions that he not only drew off his men, but conceived very favorable sentiments of the Society; and con- tinuing to yield to his convictions, he afterwards joined in communion with Friends, and continued faithful to the principles of truth professed by them." — Sutcliffe's Travels.

XIII ROADES HISTORY THE Roads or Rhoads* family is a very old one, and has flourished for 800 years. It is descended from Gerard de Rodes, a baron, living in the reigns of Henry H (1154-1189), Richard I, John and Henry III, who received great favors from all these monarchs. Richard I granted him the lordships of Langar and Barneston, in Nottinghamshire, and they were confirmed by John. These estates, says Thoroton (1677), went together be- fore Norman times, and have done so ever since. They were first granted to William Peverill, "Peverill of the Peake", but soon came into possession of Gerard de Rodes. He also owned "Clifton and Wilford," also in Notts., and Barton, and other estates. These also had been of the demesne of Wm. Peverill. These estates "he had during John, and Ralphf de Rodes, his son, a very great man, was possessed of them (1222) 6 H, 3." His son Gerard, lord of Melles, obtained them, and at the end of Henry or beginning of Edward I, granted them (Clifton and Wilford), and the services of free- holders there and at Barton, to Sir Gervase de Clifton. X He at * The name has varied greatly in spelling, often in the same document. These are its more common forms: De Rodes, Rodes, Roodes, Roades, Roads, Rhodes, Rhoades, and Rhoads. tl'216-9, a Sir Gorvase Clifton was Steward to Sir Ralph de Rodes. JThis Sir Gervase (or a later one) served eight terms in Parliament and enter- tained, from king to beggar. He was seven times married. One daughter married Sir Francis Rhodes. Many of the family tombs have etSgies. His grandslre. Sir Gervase, sleeps in efflgy on an ample tomb, with Dame Mary Nevill on one side and Dame Winifriede on the other. \\^e cannot help picturing a similar tomb with this Sir Gervase in efflgy in the midst of his seven wives. The list of the marriage outfit of Dame Mary is preserved, and the items for the marriage breakfast show the English of that day to have been "good providers." Sir Gervase Is probably an ancestor of our own, and if we find him to be so we must see an account of that wedding breakfast held so long ago.— See Thoroton's Nottinghamshire. (305) 306 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y first received £30 per annum rent, but afterward remitted this also. Clifton and Wilford contain 1200 acres. There are ' 'divers Seals of the largest Size of some of this Family in the Chartulary at Clifton, with their images on horseback on one side, and on the other 'Secretum, ' with a Lion Rampant upon a shield and one within a Bordure." Langar and Barneston had also belonged to Earl Howe. It seems that the Prior and Convent of Lenton, according to ancient custom, tithed the corn of Langar after it was gathered into the barn. This custom was remitted during Sir Ralph's day, and instead the tithing was done in the field. Sir Ralph insuring them against loss and allowing them if not satisfied to return to the former way of doing. Sir Ralph was also allowed the privilege of having a chapel in his court at Langar, if he would swear not to un- dermine the "Mother Church," and if Sir Ralph and his Lady Berta should attend church on all festivals, unless there be some ' 'manifest cause' ' for their not so doing. The chapel was also prohibited from having bells. There was also an ancient church or chapel in the fields of Langar, called St. Athelburga's or St. Auberg's. Sir Willliam de Rodes, supposed to be the brother of Sir Ralph, had some difficulty with the church authorities in 1257, but it was happily adjusted by dividing their cause of differ- ence.

Burke, in his "Commoners of Great Britain," gives this description: "The family of Rodes or Rhoades is of great antiquity, having flour- ished for several centuries in the counties of Nottingham, Lincoln, York, and Derby, successively. "The first settler on record in England, of this family, is Gerard de Rodes, a feudal baron, the capital seat of whose barony was Horn Castle in Lincolnshire. Camden says, Horn Castle was a soke or seignory of thirteen lordships. Gerard de Rodes was, consequently, one of the greater barons; his absence as ambassador will account for his name not occurring on the Roll of Magna Charta, he having been sent by King John, 29th March, in the ninth year of his reign, ambassador to foreign parts. "It is not known when the baronetcy became extinct, but the lands of Horn Castle were lost in the reign of Richard II." Froissart mentions two families of Rodes, or Rhodes; one the Counts d'Armagnach and Rhodes, who came from Normandy with Henry II, and Margaret his mother; the other de Rhodes, hereditary knights of Flanders.* It is not known to which family Gerard belonged. Burke says probably to the first, and equally and more probably to the last mentioned one. Wilson derives the pedigree of the Rodes from Rodeses, barons of Horncastle in Lincoln. — Boothroyd's Pontefract, page 268. In the Milnes pedigree (Beetham's Baronetage) there is no notice of any connection between the two families, and the account begins with Francis Rodes of Staveley Woodthorp. Sir John Rodes, Knt. Sir John Rodes, Knt., was master of the household to the most noble prince Edward, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, and Prince of Aquitaine. Sir John died, 4 Richard II. Edward, the Black Prince, b. June 15, 1330, d. June 8, 1376. His son became Richard II. He married in 1361 his cousin Joanna, daughter of the Earl of Kent. He was the hero of Crecy and Poictiers. * Whocame over with the Earl of Flandersand Tofti, Harold's brother, to assist William the Conqueror.— Froissart, Vol. 1, p. 121. A Sir John de Rhodes was amongst the knignti^ who came over to serve In Edward's army against Bruce. He died in the service of iiis legitimate monarch. 310 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y He lived in Aquitaine, returning to England shortly before his death. "He was a splendid example of the virtues and vices fostered by the spirit of chivalry." The Rodes estates seem to have been divided or disposed of in Notts., and others retained in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, where the branch of the family in which we are interested removed. It was founded by WilHam Rodes, * who married Emme, daughter and heiress of John Cachehors, t of Staveley Wood- thorpe in Derbyshire. This remained the family seat until Barlborough Hall was built by Francis Rodes. His son. Sir John Rodes, Knt., sold Staveley Woodthorpe, and made Barlborough the permanent family residence. Barlborough Hall, Derbyshire, was built by Francis Rodes, Esq., justice, about 1583. The coat-of-arms of the Derbyshire branch of the family is brought down to 1695. It has sixteen or eighteen quarter- ings. M.otto:—Rohur Meum Deus: God is my strength. The title became extinct at the death of Sir John Rodes, in 1745. He was unmarried, and willed his estates to his sis- ter, Francis Heathcote's grandson, who assumed the name of Rodes. Sir John and his mother. Lady Rodes (Dame Martha), were early converts to Quakerism. Barlborough Barlborough is about eight miles from Chesterfield, in the north-eastern part of Derbyshire, near the Yorkshire line. It is southeast from Sheffield. * The following probably refers to this William de Rodes: from Derbyshire Charter, compiled by Isaac H. Jeaues: No. 902. "Sale for £17.10.0. by Henry Grey, knight, Lord Grey of Coduor and Dame Margaret, his wife, for William Roodes [or Rodes] of Nottingham, of all trees, wood, underwood, etc., lying between Botery [Butterley] Park and Codnor Park to Michaelmas, 1178.

Arms Rodes of Barlborough 312 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y "Barlborough Hall (ancient Barleburg) is a handsome mansion house, and a good specimen of the Elizabethan style. It was built in 1583 by Francis Rodes, justice. It is nearly square and has four fronts; the principal one faces south, and retains its original appearance. It is most ornamental, having projecting bows, terminated in octagonal em- battled turrets, and large transom windows. It is approached by a flight of steps leading through a porch with Doric pillars into a hall that has been modernized. "The dining room contains a magnificent stone chimney piece with fluted Doric pillars supporting figures of Justice aud Religion, coat of arms, and various ornaments in bas-relief. "In the upper part are the arms of the Rhodes family, with this in- scription: 'Francis Rodes Servians suae Reginae ad legem A. D., 1584, aetatis suae 50.' In the lower part are two shields of the arms of Rodes, with different implements, the one supported by a judge on the dexter, and a lady on the sinister side. At the bottom is this inscription: 'Constitutus Justiciarius in Banco Communi, 30 Eliz.' On the sides are inscriptions describing his two wives and their issue. "The buff coat and sword of Sir Francis, worn in the time of Charles I, are preserved in this house. They are engraved in Grose's 'Ancient Armor,' Plate XXXIX." For picture of Barlborough Hall, see Glover's Derbyshire, Vol. II. "Barleburg" Hall [modern Barlborough] possesses the unique fame of being the same distance from all places where English speaking chil- dren dwell. Who has not played — "How many miles to Barleburg?" "Three score and ten." "Can I get there by candle-light?" "Yes, indeed, and back again; but beware of the old witch, etc. !" Was the witch one tried by Francis, the judge, in the days of good Queen Bess, we wonder? In "The Traditional Games of England, Scotland and Ireland," by Alice B. Gomme, nineteen versions of the rhyme sung in the game are given. She gives as the original verse the lines beginning, "How many miles to Babylon?" and the place name varied, as: Banbury-Cross, Barney Bridge, Banbury, Burslem, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Gandigo. The place name indicates that this version of the game: "How many miles to Barleburg?" came from the vicinity of Barleburg, Derby. It was no doubt introduced into Pennsylvania by the Derbyshire children — probably by the Rhoads, Maltby, Dawes, and other children, who traced their ancestry to Barlborough Hall. At the Conquest, Barleburg had a church, a priest, and one servant. The estate consists of 1655 acres, and is divided up into farms of from fifty to three hundred acres. It contains limestone and coal lands, and two hundred acres of wood. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 313 At Barlborough are tombs to different members of the family, as well as to: — Sir Francis Rodes, Baronet, who died March 14, 1675; and — Dame Martha, wife of Sir Francis, who died 25 Oct., A. D. 1719. aged 77 years. Francis Rodes, Jvstice Francis Rodes was born at Staveley-Woodthorp (the home of his family for five generations) , Derbyshire. His family was of ' 'very ancient descent, and had been enriched by marriage with the heiress of Cachehors, who appears in several charters." His mother was a He wet of Wales, [or Wallis, Yorkshire,] "of a rich and prosperous family, " and Sir Francis acquired great property by the ' 'gainful practice of law." He was made sergeant-at-law, 21 Aug., 1582, and justice of Common Pleas, 29 June, 1585. His will was dated 7 June, 29 Eliz., 1587, and proved 28 April, 1591. He died 7th January, 31st Eliz. Judge Rodes was seneschal to the Earl of Shrewsbury, In the church at Barlborough is a handsome marble monument, probably from the church at Worksop. Two of England's great tragedies are connected with Rodes history. Judge Rodes was one of the judges at the trial of Mary Queen of Scots, at Fotheringay, in October, 1586; and his granddaughter, Elizabeth, became the wife of the great earl of Strafford. His first wife was a daughter of Brion Sanford, of Thorpe Salvin. To the first son of this marriage, John, he left Barl- borough Hall, where his descendants still live. His other children were, Anne, Francis, and Peter. His second wife was Mary, daughter of Frances Charle- ton, Esq. , of Appley, Co. Salop, who was sister to Elizabeth, wife of John, Earl of Rutland. '"^ This wife had many chil- dren: — Katherine, Mary, "Godfrey, Robert, Francis, Trothe, Francis ded., Margaret ded., Elizabeth, Atheline, Cicely, Judeth and Brigit." *Henry, earl of Rutland, built Belvoir— 1555, d. 1565— the castle now standing near Orston, Notts. Haddon Hall was deserted by his family for this more splendid and modern residence. 314 IHE MA ULSB V FAMIL V A description of Barlborough Hall has already been given: Hunter, in his History of Doncaster, says: — "Houghton and Billingsley" passed united to Sir Henry Knyvet, of Charlton, Wiltshire, knight, who had acquired Hickleton, He had license from Elizabeth, in the 20th year of her reign, to alienate;* and his bond in £3,000 to keep covenant (Eliz. ) in respect of his agreement concerning the three manors with Sir Francis Rodes, has descended to the present possessors, who are likewise descendants of Sir Francis. At Gt. Houghton he built a large and handsome Eliza- bethan mansion for his "secondary eldest son." It was called the "Hall of Rodes." Judge Rodes desired in his will to be buried at Staveley, with his wives and ancestors. He willed Barlborough to his eldest son; to Sir Godfrey, Iloughton and Billingsley, and land at Darfield, subject to a rent charge for two younger children, Robert and Francis. To his son Sir Petert he willed Hickleton, and for him he had built a "capital mansion" upon nearly the same scale with the houses of Barlborough and Gt. Houghton. The arms of Rodes are carved in stone over the doorway. The early records of Hickleton are lost, and there is no proof that Peter left children. At any rate this property soon passed into other hands (1606). Staveley is four and three-fourth miles from Chester- field. It is now owned by the Duke of Portland. Judge Rodes in 1537 established a free grammar school at Netherthorp. To support it and two scholarships in St. John's College, Cambridge, he bequeathed £20 per annum, since augmented to £30. Great Houghton is still owned by the descendants of Sir Godfrey. In 1789, Mrs. Mary Rodes, or "Madam Rodes, " ' Gt. Houghton, with appurtenances and 20 messuages, 16 cottages, 20 tofts, 1 water-mill, I wind-mill. 3 dove cotes, 30 garden.^, SO orchards, 700 acres of land, 300 acres meadow, .500 pasture, 300 acres woods, 200 jampnorium, 200 acres moor, and 538, 4d rent, with appurtenances in Gt. Houghton, Little Houghton, Billingley, and Dar- field. t See Boothroyd's Pontlfract, p. 268. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL V 315 was living there. It then had much of the original furniture remaining. The walls were hung with tapestry, and on boards were painted portraits of Queen Elizabeth and many noted persons of her court. Thoresby, in his ' 'Diary, ' ' 1686, said he "visited 'cousin Rodes' at Great Houghton and was pleased with the portraits of eminent persons of Queen Elizabeth's time, and was glad to see the original portrait of the earl of Strafford." The earl of Strafford (Sir Thomas Wentworth) married for his third wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Godfrey Rodes. Sir Thomas Wentworth was a great Yorkshire landowner and a prominent member of the House of Commons (1628). At first a member of the popular party, urging the Petition of Rights, on the death of Buckingham his ambition caused him to "fling aside his cloak of patriotism," if such it was, and he became a minister of the first rank in the Council of King Charles. He was made Earl of Strafford, and by his tyranny and oppression got the hatred of the people, was impeached, and executed. The dramatic story of his life, impeachment, and death is well known. Lord Digby said his guilt was that of "that grand apostate to the Commonwealth, who must not expect to be pardoned in this world till he be despatched to the other." Strafford met death bravely, and said proudly, "I know how to look death in the face, and the people too." Having been warned of the vast multitude gathered to witness his execution: "I thank God I am no more afraid of death, but as cheerfully put off my doublet at this time as ever I did when I went to bed." For history of Lord Strafford see Green's Short History of England and Browning's "Strafford, An Historical Tragedy. " Lady Strafford and her daughter retired after his death to Hooton Roberts, where they lived many years. Lady Strafford died April, 1688, and in her will expressly ordered that no stone monument or escutcheon should be 316 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y placed to her memory. Her only child, Lady Margaret Went- worth, died unmarried. 1681. A view of "Hooton Roberts" is engraved by Bowles. For pictures of "Wentworth Woodhouse, " now "Wentworth, "* and interesting de- scription, see Thoroton's Nottinghamshire.] Great Houghton in History Great Houghton was attacked by a party of Royalists under Captain Gray, in 1642. All the out-houses were burnt, goods to the value of £600 destroyed, and Lady Rodes un- civilly treated; some servants were wounded, and one was slain, t Possibly it was this time that Scott had in mind when he wrote the lines to which Burke refers in the following: It would appear from the following quotation from "Old Ballads" that the family had at one time a seat, either in Scotland, or nearer the border than Horn Castle, Lincolnshire: " The House of Rodes on the Hill." "The Gordon then his bugle blew. And said, 'awa, awa. The house of Rhodes is all on fire, I hold it time to ga. ' " Sir Godfrey Rodes, son of Sir Francis Rodes, of Barl- borough Hall, was knighted, 13th July, 1615. His son, Sir Edward Rodes, knight, of Great Houghton, was one of the two dissenters among the gentry of Yorkshire, (young Hotham, his cousin [?], the other). He was arrested and sent to the tower, but not brought to trial. He served under Cromwell, at the battle of Preston; he had a colonel's commission from him in 1654, and was a member of his Privy Council, He was much in Scotland dur- ing the Protectorate, and was returned member to one of Cromwell's Parliaments for the shire of Perth, at the same time that his son was returned for Linlithgow. * The family of Wentworth consisted of sixty-three persons during Lady Straf- ford's time. t One stipulation at the treaty of Rothwell was that reparation should be made Sir Edward Rodes for injury done him. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 317 The last male heir of this branch, William Rodes, died unmarried at Great Houghton, in 1740, and the title became extinct. But the descendants of Sir Godfrey still own Great Houghton. This branch of the family became Presbyterians, and Hunter says: "The older branch of the family (those of Barlborough Hall) deviated still more widely from the faith of their fathers, and became Quakers. ' ' Sir Godfrey and family are buried at Darfield. For epitaphs, see Hunter's History of Doncaster, page 118. Sir Godfrey was four times married. Sir Edward's son Hammond was chaplain to the Countess dowager of Stafford (his aunt) . Richard Slater Milnes, M. P. , who married the heiress, expended £1000 in repairs at Great Houghton [or the Hall of Rodes] , and then abandoned the place, after a residence of ten weeks, building a new mansion. The old Hall was later a farm house, and then licensed as a public house. Sir Godfrey's Arms: Rodes Argent, a lion passant gules between two acorns azure in bend cotised ermine. Of the younger sons of Francis the Judge, little is known. From the parish records of St. Peters, Notts., is taken: Robert Rodes and Jone Hall were married, 2 Sept. , 1589. Peter Rodes and Margerie Hallam, married, 26 Nov., 1594. These are probably his sons. Of the other son mentioned in the will, Francis, we have not yet found record . He was living in 1587. Francis Rodes willed Barlborough Hall to his oldest son. Sir John Rodes, who was followed by three named Sir Francis Rodes, and on the death of the latter the property and title descended to Sir John Rodes, fourth baronet, who, leaving a will dated 13 March, 1731, died unmarried, 1743, and was buried (26th of 7 mo.) in the Quaker Burying-ground at Hansworth, Woodhouse. At his death the title became extinct, and the estates passed to his grand nephew, Gilbert Heathcote, who assumed the name of Rodes. Gilbert Heathcote, M. D., married Frances, daughter of Sir Francis Rodes. He was born at Brampton, 12 Oct., 1664, and was an eminent physician of London, and a Quaker. He died of bruises which he re- ceived by the overturning of his coach in the Hampstead road, August, 1719, and was buried at Bunhill Fields. 318 THE MAULSBY FAMILY He was the son of Gilbert Heathcote of Cutthorpe, and wife Lydia. Harleian, Vol. 37, p. 325, says Gilbert Heathcote of Cutthorpe, co. Derby, Gent., buried at Brampton, 7 Oct., 1677. He must be the Quaker G. H. of Barbadoes, 1669. See his letter — Mass. Hist. Soc. Collection, III, X, 76. Sir John Rhodes, Baronet "Among those from the higher walks of life who have released themselves from the shadowy and unsatisfying nature of earthly distinc- tions and enjoyments, may be mentioned Sir John Rodes. In early life he retired from walking in a vain show, and embracing the principles of Friends, sought his happiness in a life devoted to God. He was the in- timate friend of Thomas Story. [Name is spelled Rhodes in the Journal, but it would appear from annexed autograph to have been Rodes more correctly. There are Friends in Pennsylvania from the same locality, who write the name Rhoads. ] — Armistead's Miscellanies. Thomas Story, in his journal, 1686-1742, makes frequent mention of and pays frequent visits to Sir John Rodes and to the Heathcote family. 1696. —On the 15th fell in with the Meeting at Mansfield, which was small and poor; and that Evening went to Balbur Hall, and lodged with Sir John Rodes, Baronet; who being convinced of Truth very young, em- braced the same under the Cross, forsaking all the Honour of this World, and the Friendship of it, for that Honor which is of God only, and the Friendship and Fellowship of the faithful and sanctified in Christ, of whom he is beloved and honored in the Truth as worthy. 1714, 10 mo. 23. — I went that evening to Balbur Hall, to Sir John Rodes, and William Thompson with me, where I was kindly received by him, and the old Lady his Mother. Here I staid several Days, and had good conversation with them, being very open-minded and courteous, and of a good Understanding in the Things of God. He was convinced when young, and held his Integrity thro' many Temptations: But his Circum- stances differing from most among us in some respects: he lived unmar- ried, having a great Aversion to all that were wanton, light or vain; and being of nice Sentiments, both as to Virtue, Temper, Education and Parts; all these (as I suppose) he has not found to concur so perfectly in any one agreeable Person, as both to please the Delicacy of his own Judgment and suit the Good-liking of his Friends; which probably may have rendered his life less satisfactory, having for the most part, little agreeable Society; and though very sensible of these, and many other Disadvantages in this world for the Sake of Truth, yet he stands steady and true, preferring the Simplicity of Truth and the enjoyment of it, before all other Things. On the 27th, being the First of the Week, he went with me to the THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 319 Meeting at Hansworth-Woodhouse (the meeting he belongs to), and af- terwards to the house of Michael Milner, where I lodged that night and the next, but he returned home. See also, 1723-31-32-38. Sir John Rodes came of age in 1691. 25 of 4 mo., 1691.

(At this time John Roads, son of John of Ripley, had emigrated to America.) ''Hansworth Woodhouse (now Woodhouse) is one of five preparative meetings, of Balby Monthly Meeting, Yorkshire, five or six miles from Sheffield. ' 'Barlboro Hall is about eight miles from Chesterfield and six and a half from Woodhouse. Woodhouse being nearer and the roads more level, Sir John Rodes attended meeting here. It was also their family burying place, as he and the Heathcote* family are interred there. But Sir John seems to have be- longed to Derbyshire Quarterly Meeting, which books mention him as "Sir John Roads, Knight." In 1719 this meeting ap- points him to ' 'speak to members of Parliament about altering the Affirmative form." His seizures for tithes are regularly recorded in the Derbyshire book of Suffering, up to his death in 1743."-Edw. Watkins. In Wilson Armistead's Select Miscellanies, VI, 323-4, are portions of an interesting account of David Barclay, not yet ten years old, a son of Robert Barclay, "the Apologist, " taken from a manuscript at the conclu- sion of Robert Barclay's works, formerly in the library of Sir John Rodes of Balbur Hall, and dated, "Urie, the 20th of 12th month," 1691; con- cluding as follows: "Much more in the life and power of God spake he, not as a child, but as a man with weighty experience; and so his testimony and advice were to the reaching of all that were present, breaking some into tender- ness, filling some with joy and others with amazement. *The Heathcote family left £1360 for charities in Derby. A John Heathcote was the inventor of the famous bobbin-net machine in 1809, by which imitations of bobbin or cushion lace were made. "A great sum of money was derived from it." 320 IHE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y "The next day it was remarked that it fell so weighty on him again, as if he had been called thei'eto, and several came in to whom it was a seasonable declaration. With a lively power and brokenness was he at- tended, to all our admiration." iW^ In "Smith Doncaster" reference is made to the above, and the sig- nature of Sir John as being the most interesting of the series of auto- graphs of early Friends. It is one published in Wilson Armistead's Select Miscellanies. Samuel N. Rhoads, of Haddonfield, N. J., has the following books containing autographs of Sir John Rodes : William Penn's Sandy Foundation Shaken, 1668. Milton's History of England, published 1695. An abridgement of Locke on the Understanding, 1696. An Enquiry concerning Virtue or Merit, 1711. Works of Dr. Thomas Lydenham, 1717. The signature of John Roades, Sr. , has already been given under the will of William Maltby, to which he was witness. It was verified by the signature to his will. In the signatures of John Roads, Adam Roades, and Sir John Rodes, a great similarity, especially in the family R, is noticeable. The fact of Sir John's being called in the Meeting records John Roads, Jr. , also points to the near relationship of the family.

It seems probable that he was next of kin, and that Peter, "a divine," had left no heirs. According to pedigree the family of John of Sturton were as follows: John of Sturton^ 4th son. -Eliz., dau. of Simon Jessup, or Jason, of Edeal, co.Staf- ford. Anne. Charles, 3d son. Lived in Virginia. Lately mar- ried, 1695. -Harleian, Vol. 38, 585, 6, 7. I I John of Francis 2d son twice Cornhill, married in Mary- London land now (1698) Mary Tighe, in England, living 1695; William, aged 6, Feb., 1694-5. It had been supposed that this John and Elizabeth were the emigrants to Philadelphia, but this theory now has few supporters. According to Thoroton, Sturton was not owned by the family in 1698, and of John he makes no mention. Clifton still had "some interest" in the property. There seems no reason to think that this family were Friends. Unfortunately the English researches have not been completed (Jan. 1, 1909), and the following pedigrees are added in hopes that they may aid future genealogists to establish the ancestry of John Roads of Ripley.

York (he was blind), whose descendants founded the Devonshire branch of the family. See Burke or Harleian pedigrees. John Roads oj Ripley The Friends' records of Derbyshire refer to Sir John (Roades) Rodes and to John Roads, or Roades, of Ripley. They seem to have belonged to the same family, Sir John being referred to as John Rodes, Jr. ; but so far the records have not helped us to solve our problem. Who was John Roads of Ripley? Sufferings of Friends 1670. During the months of July and August for attending meetings at Tupton* and Pisley in Derbyshire and at the house of of Thomas Fawkes, John Rhodes had £20 taken from him.-Besse. And the Derbyshire Book of Sufferings gives, 1670: John Roads was fined £20, 10s, Od, and had taken from him cows, swine, shoes, leather, corn, hay, household goods, to a dish and spoon and working gear: all which did amount to the value of £20, Os, Od. As this was done "by warrant of John Lowe, called Justice," who lived at Derby five miles from Fritchley and three miles from Ripley, it is evident John was now living in the neighborhood of Ripley. 1680. Also for being at a meeting at Tupton, John Grattont and John Rhodes were each fined 20 1 and had goods distrained to the value of 40 1. — Besse. For Tithes. — 1688. In corn and other goods taken from Lady Rhodes, t £27, 15s, Od. 1689. From Lady Rhodes, £22, 00s, OOd. -Besse. John Gratton, the fellow sufferer of John Rhodes, has told in his journal how for "preaching the everlasting gospel, his only crime," all he had was to be taken from him, and how tender Friends and his towns- people were for him, and that even the constable sent to "strain" his goods was greatly troubled by what was required of him. That he finally took a list of the goods and did not move them, and proclaimed them for sale "in the market-place and the steeple-house, " but that not one person came to buy! * Tupton was four miles from Chesterfield. There was an early meetiug-house here. Before the building of Chesterfield meeting-house, in 1697, meetings at Ches- terfield were held at the "Ould Hall," a Friends' house, or at Tupton, and either at Tupton or the "Ould Hall" William and Mary RhoadsMaltby were married. tSee Journal of John Gratton. J Widow of Sir Francis Rodes. Sir John, their son, came of age in 1691. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 325 John Roades was probably also a minister, as he was likewise fined £20, and the meeting does not seem to have been at his house, but at that of Thomas Fawkes. He was not a rich man, and $100 probably covered most of his mov- able property, everything to a "dish and a spoon." But it did not deter him from preaching, and the second time he was fined $100, and goods taken to that amount. 1693.

Kindness of Gilbert Cope. "These entries are on the same page, and show that the spelling of the name was supposed to be the same. In 1698 the entry occurs "John Roades, of Barlborough Hall," and after it "John Rodes of Barlborough Hall." Ripley was in the parish of Pentrich, * and the examination of the parish records gives only two names of the Roades family: "A. D. 1656, Dec. 21, Elizabeth, dau. of George Rodes, baptized. Borne 8 Dec^ "1662, May 15, Jeremiah, the sonne of George Rhodes, Junr., baptized. These are certified by Wm. J. Ledward, Vicar of Pentrich.

George Rodes was son of the first Sir John by his second wife Frances, 3d dau. of Marmaduke Constable. He was buried at Barlborough, 27 Dec, 1665, and from the above seems to have left descendants. Possibly we are descendants of him. Dissenters' Records 1698. "Dissenters bury in churches and churchyards, but do not bap- tize in churches. Many registers are kept by late act of Parliament and some few by no act or method at all — this is to be found in one place and that in another. "—Thoroton's Nottinghamshire, and Edward Watkins writes: "I doubt if there were public registration offices then, apart from the Church of England. In 1695 all births, marriages and deaths were taxed on a scale of degrees in rank — till then there was much looseness in records, especially of Non-conformists not Friends." According to this it would be very difficult and perhaps impossible to find the connecting link between John of Ripley and the Barlborough *'Pentrlch is two miles from Ripley. tSouth Wlngfleld Is two miles from Ripley. 326 THE MAULSBY FAMILY family, especially if they were already non-conformists before becoming Friends, and the preceeding records seem to indicate that this was so. 1652.

Sturton, Streton, Estreton King Henry VIII, by letters patent dated 1st May, 32 H 8, granted to George Lascelles, esquire, and his heirs the manor of Sturton and appurte- nances, and all mess., lands, etc., in Sturton, Wiseton (Hall 318), Whiteley and Littlebrough, which were late Thomas Darcies, Knt. (Lord Darcy attainted). His grandchild. Sir George Lascelles, Knt., was of great years but left only a daughter and heir married to Sir'Francis Rodes, whose son and heir married Anne, one of the daughters of Sir Gervas Clifton, mother of the present Sir Francis Rodes, baronet, and another of his sons named Clifton Rodes, who hath some interest in this place, married Lettice, another daughter of Sir Gervas Clifton, but had no issue by her; he since married Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. John Scrimshire of Cotgrave. — Thoroton's Nottinghamshire, Vol. Ill, p. 298. It does not seem likely that John of Sturton could have had so many other children that were overlooked by the genealogist, or that John himself had emigrated to America without some mention being made of the fact, as was made of the emigration of his sons. Then the family of John of Ripley were about of an age with those of John of Sturton. These are some of the reasons that make us think they were not one and the same. We then must search further back in the pedigree for the ancestry of John of Ripley. Possibly we may find it in the next generation, and that it may be from Henry or George, buried at Barlboro, 27 Dec, 1665. Or in the pre- vious generation, and from one of the three younger sons of Francis, the Judge — Peter, Robert, or Francis. Friends' Records The following are sent by Edward Watkins, of Fritchley: "Derbyshire Friends' Quarterly Meeting Book begins 1672. In it are various mentions of John Roads, or Roades, on appointments to visit such as were somewhat remiss or dis- orderly, in 1674, 1675, and 1678: so evidently he was a Friend of some standing and good concern. ' ' ' 'John Roads's name does not occur in the English meeting THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 327 records in 1683-84-85-86, but ''on the 3d day of 7th month, 1687," he signs the following paper: "Hour friend phillip Taylor and Sarah Clarke at our Monthly Meet- ing at Breach House have declared their intentions of Marriage And soo farr as we know they are clear of all others And wee finding nohing against wee have unity with them both in that weighty matter of Mar- riage, from our hands at our Monthly Meeting.

"In 1688-9 he was paid 25 shillings towards expenses of going to London (as meeting representative), so perhaps he was not quite so well to do at that time. "On the 12th of 1st mo., 169", occur the names on a similar certificate, of clearness for William Dawes of Greasley, and Elizabeth England of Eastwood, from Breach house, of John Roads (who again heads the list) and Elizabeth Roads, probably his wife. If so this is the last mention we have of Elizabeth Roads. "On the 30th of 4 mo., 1692, a minute runs: 'This day Edward Dawes of Grayley (Gresley or Greasley) and Elizabeth Roades* of Estwood (Eastwood) both in the county of Nottingham hath declared their inten- tions of marriage before us and having handed a certificate from the Monthly Meeting unto which they belonged and relations consent there- unto on both sides we leave them to proceed as they hath full freedom.'* [Probably living with her sister Mary Maltby at Eastwood.] "*Luke Hank ( the ancestor of Abraham Lincoln ) was a weaver. Luke was the father or brother of John Hank, the emigrant to America. The Friends of the 17th century were largely yeomen, outside of the large cities. A number in Derbyshire were hand-loom weavers; power looms were not yet in- vented. Weaving was done in a small way, with at most but from 4-6 looms in a room. When cotton spinning machinery was first invented, steam power had not come into use and the first machinery was worked by water-power. About seven miles from Ripley (four rhiles from Fritchley), at Cromford. .\rkwrlght built the first cotton mill in the world, in 1770, on the river Derwent. Before 1770, all cotton and other yarn was spun by hand, and weaving done on looms worked by hands or feet, and no factories of any kind existed.— Edward Watkins. In America, hand-looms were in use as late as 1830-40. Cassinet was made fV)r the men's clothing and linsey-woolsey for the women's; tlie former was sent to the fulling mill and "fulled," the latter was home-tinished. It was often striped. Both were half cotton, half wool. t Afterward Mary Maltby. 328 THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y "1693 occurs a signature, 'John Roads, junior. ' This may be Sir John Rodes of Barlborough Hall, who came of age in 1691, and was put on appointments in the Quarterly Meeting in 1691 and 1719. "On 10, 1 mo., 1697, from our monthly meeting at Breach occur the names of Abraham Dawes, Edward Dawes, John Roads, and William Molltbey.* "This is the last mention of the family in the records of Derbyshire Quarterly Meeting, or in any English Friend's records, and as neither his name nor that of any other Roads occurs in the Breach (Ripley) monthly meeting book, which begins in 1700 (excepting those relating to Sir John Rodes), I take it for certain that the whole family had left the neighbor- hood by 1700, and John Roads between 1697 and 1700. John Gratton says in his journal that 'about or soon after 1695 many Friends went from Derbyshire to America. ' "At one time I thought the fines and amount seized from John Roads in 1670 was evidence that he had taken a position at Barlboro' Hall as steward for his nephew, who came of age in 1691, and that the record in Friends' book of sufferings was simply, as was often the case, a year or two out of date. But closer examination precludes this being a seiz- ure for tithes. In the firstplace the record distinctly states: 'John Roads was fined £20, 10s, Od. ' It would not say 'fined' if it was a 'seizure for tithes. ' This is explained by a quotation in the life of John Gratton as follows: "The next First day I went again, and the meeting (it was not a Friends' meeting) fell in course to be at an Elder's house, one Humphrey Chapman, at which time a very wicked Act was put in force against religious meetings that were in other manner than according to the liturgy or practice of the Church of England, where above the num- ber of five besides the 'family were assembled, and the fine was £20 the house and £20 the preacher, and five shillings a hearer. ' From this it seems John Roades was fined £20 for the meeting being on his premises (or for being a preacher), and five shillings each for himself and wife as hearers." "On the Barlboro' estate the seizures for the years 1688, 89, 92, were /27, 15s, Od, ^22, Os, Od, and £22, 10s, Od. *"The Maltbys, Friends, lived at Eastwood, Just over tlie stream tiiat divides Notts, and Derbyshire, on the Notts, side, but being within two miles of Heanor, Derbyshire, was attached to it as part of Breach Monthly Meeting, which was held alternately at Breach (near Ripley), Sawley (near Long Eaton), Little Chester (now part of Derbytown;, Eastwood, 'and Heanor. There were several Maltbys, William, Richard, and I think Daniel." "William Maltby is distinctly mentioned in 1694 as of Eastwood, in the Derby- shire book of sufferings, but a removal of a few miles would take him into Chester- field Monthly Meeting. Eastwood we look on as the Maltby headquarters."— E. Watklns. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 329 "Ripley is about twenty miles from Barlboro; Chesterfield* is a little to the west of a line between them, but is much nearer to Barlboro. It is thirty- two miles to Sturton and thirty to Litchfield." Amongst proof of John of Ripley and John of Sturton being the same person, Edward Watkins gives: "Both John Roads of Ripley [not Sturton] and the Rodes family of Barlboro were Friends more or less contemporaneously, quite so from 1688 on. Their names spelt the same in Friends meeting books and both families belonging to Derbyshire. "The first Friend that we know of at Barlboro Hall is Lady Martha Rodes in 1688, when seizure for tithes was made there for the first recorded time. For such a woman, that is for a woman in such a position, to become a Friend would be most likely to require some strong family influence or sup- port such as an uncle might give, she being left without husband or grown up children." (Her son was eighteen at that time.) [John of Sturton was her uncle by marriage and this reference is to him. But Edw. Watkins, while still believing it possible that John of Sturton and John of Ripley are the same, has almost abandoned this idea.] The above is taken from manuscript sent by Edward Watkins of Fritchley, near Ripley, Derbyshire, England, Also much of the following material relative to that sec- tion of England is from his letters to myself, and others to Jos. R. and Samuel N. Rhoads of Philadelphia, to whom I am indebted for it. It has been believed by some American genealogists that John of Sturton and John of Ripley were the same person, but later facts seem to make it improbable. It is hoped that the question of the identity of John of Ripley will soon be solved, and if not in time for our book the full evidence will be found in Barlboro' Chronicles, by Joseph R. Rhoads, of Philadelphia, who is only waiting for this information to publish his valu- able history of the Rhoads family. [Adam's descendants.] Emigration to America Many of the Derbyshire Friends emigrated to America at an early date.

They seem to have been rather a notable little community. John Blunston* brought with him the foUowiug certificate: "This is to certify to whom it may concern that John Blunston of Little Hallam in the County of Darby hath it in his mind to transport himself into Pennsylvania in America; that ye said John Blunston hath walked orderly & so far forth, as wee know is Cleare upon all accounts. "Att Breath-houset ye 13th of ye 5th month 1682 by us whose names are hereunder written. John RoadsJ Joseph Potter Richard Seaford Edmund Cartledge Will Day Adam Roades Thomas Whittbe William Wooly Samuel Fox Joshua Fearne Michael Blunston" From this certificate it seems that the Friends signed each other's certificates and emigrated in a body to America, at least that is true in this case: a number of those signing his certificate emigrated with him to Darby, and possibly John Roads was one of these. Among the early settlers there were Adam and John Roades, Jr., sons of John Roades of Ripley. At the house of John Blunston, the Friends' Meeting was established in Darby in 1682. Catherine (Catty), daughter of John Blunston, be- came the wife of Adam Roades. John Blunston was min- ister, attorney, member of the Provincial Assembly for thir- teen years (until 1699, he declines to serve longer) , of which he was several times Speaker, member of the Council, and appointed by William Penn as one of the Council of State. There were also Joshua Fearne, Justice, Clerk of Court and Sheriff, and Josiah Fearne (at the marriage of whom to Sarah, daughter of John Blunston, Letitia, daughter of Wil- liam Penn, was present and signed the marriage certificate), John Bartram, the grand father of the botanist, Edmund *John Blunston was a "frame-work" knitter. tWhltelee, White Lee, Whitley, or Whitt Loe, was the local name of the Monthly Meeting held a* Breach, or "att Breath-bouse," as some of the Darby certificates of re- moval to America say. The old c was written like a short t, hence this is probably a mistake. In 1693 "Whitelee Mo. Mtg. derives assistance from Friends (Q,. M.) throughout this county for building and repairing their Meeting house at Breach." After 1700 the Mo. Mtg. is regularly called Breach and the name Whittlee is dropped. Before 1700 it is occasionally called Breach. Breach or Whitlee is near Wingreaves.— E. Waikins. t Again in this case John Roads signs first. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 331 Cartledge, from the "Ridings,"* William Wood, and others. In a lettter from England, in 1684-5, William Penn writes — ''Salute me to William Wood, John Blunston, Griffith Jones," and others. There was probably an earlier emigration of Friends from Derbyshire to New Jersey, where the meeting of Ches- terfield was established as early as 1677, and a meeting house built in 1680. Lady Rodes, mother of Sir John Rodes, the last baronet, had a grant of 872yV'o acres in Downes Township, Cumberland Co., New Jersey, no doubt an original grant. It was re-surveyed to Samuel Baker in 1718 by J. A. Penn, granted with Gawen Laurie, etc. This land was orig- inally part of Fenwick's grant. This was in southern New Jersey, a part of East Jersey. Chester- field Meeting, however, was further north, near Bordentown, Whether John Roadest or Roads, of Ripley, emigrated at this time (1682), or not, we cannot say, but the Colonial and Friends' Records seem to point that way. Possibly he was here as agent for Lady Rodes and had not yet decided to emi- grate permanently. As early as 5th month, 1683, he is a member of the Council.

Richard Rhoads seems afterwards to have settled In Baltimore, as there is a record of liis will there, 27 Feb., 1767. In his will he mentions wife Sarah, and children John, Thomas, Sarah, Martha, Richard, Alexander McComas, Acquilla, William, Priscilla, and deeds them various parcels of land, amongst which are John's Forest, Poor Man's Purchase, Rhoads' Last Shift, and Rhoads' Necessity. There are also the names of Wm. Rhoades, Henry, Richard, Anthony, and John on the record of laud purchases. This family does not seem to have been Friends, as there are no records relat- ing to them amongst the Friends' records. One of the witnesses to the will of Richard Rhoads was a Friend. 382 THE MAULSBY FAMILY Wm. Penn to bring in a "Bill concerning horses goeing out and coming into this Province."

During 1683-85-86-87 John Roades was a member of the Governor's "Councill," and in 1684 was a member of the As- sembly, and the names John Roads or Roades, and Elizabeth Roades, seem to indicate that John Roads and wife, of Ripley, were in America at this time, possibly buying land first in Sussex,* where they could scarcely have lived, as John seems to have been in Philadelphia most of the time, both at morn- ing and afternoon sessions of the Council. Possibly after these years John Roades returned to Eng- land to bring with him the remaining members of his family to America. Possibly Elizabeth died in America, as there is no record of her death in England. During this time there is no mention of John Roades in *"John Roads, or Roades', name does not occur on the land recordsof Sussex.

In deed dated 26 August, 1698 (recorded in Chester Co.), John Roads conveys to Edmund Cartledge of Darby, 100 acres, part of the tract bought from Whitbee. In this deed he is called "John Roades the elder of Philadelphia." So at this time John Roades was living in Philadelphia. From this it seems that John Roads, with his son-in-law Wm. Maltby, preceded the family to America, both buying homes about the same time in Philadelphia. The date of Mary Roades Maltby's coming is fixed by the birth of her son on shipboard (see page 39) . She was probably accompanied by others of the family. And on the ' 'Eigth day of the ffirst month, ' ' ' '1700 or 1699, ' ' John Roades of Darby cordwainer bought of Jacob Simcocks and Rebecca Haws 108J8 acres of land in Marple township, Chester Co., Pa., for One Hundred and ffifteen pounds currant sillver money." (This deed is owned by Joseph Rhoads, 12 N. Third St., Philadelphia.) This property he left to his younger son, who established a tannery there, and it was still owned by his descendants up to within a few years, when it was sold to the State.

Deed of Plymouth Meeting Property The first deed of the Plymouth meeting property was made out to trustees, in 1704, although it had previously been in use many years. Abraham Dawes and John Roads were two of the trustees named in the deed. THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 341 They were prominent Friends in the vicinity, and held the property in trust for the meeting, as was then and still is the custom. A second deed, Dec. 2, 1730, increasing the amount of land two acres, names the trustees Rees Williams and Abra- ham Dawes, Jr., of Whitemarsh. In 1838 two more acres are added in Plymouth township; the trustees named are the same, excepting Rees Williams, who was perhaps no longer living. On Jan. 14, 1758, all the trustees named in the first deed being dead, the then living heirs of John Rhoads were the grantors for the first tract of one acre and nine perches: Barnabas Rhoads of the county of Phila., Yeoman. John Rhoads of the county of Bucks, Yeoman. Samuel Rhoads of the city of Phila., House Carpenter. Rachel Harper of Lancaster Co., widow. Mary, wife of William Thomas of Phila. Co. The only surviving children of John Rhoads, late of Whitemarsh township, in the County of Phila. , deceased. In 1691, March 28, he purchased of Wm. Penn 58 acres of Penn's Manor of Springfield. (19 Pa. Archives, sec. ser., p. 651.) In 1701 he applied to Penn's Commissioners of property for permission to cut fifty trees from said manor, for fencing his plantation. John Roads, Jr., also bought 200 acres of land from his brother-in-law, in 1693. Deed from George Willcox, son and heir of Barnabas Willcox, late of the county of Philadelphia, merchant, for 250£ currency of Pennsylvania, to "John Roads of the said county yeoman, and Hanna his wife." The land formerly encroached on that of Thomas Paschall — so bordered on the Schuylkill River, within the liberties of Philadelphia. Also bordered on William Powells' land, also Wm.

(Phila. Deed Book H, No. 17, p. 415.) He settled on land in Whitemarsh, and resided there at the time of his death. His wife Hannah was daughter of Barnabas Wilcox, Es- quire, member of the Assembly and for several years one of the justices of the peace and of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. Joseph Wilcox, the brother of Hannah Rhoads, was fre- quently a member of the Assembly, and in 1705 was Mayor of Philadelphia. There was considerable trouble about the fisheries and navigation of the Schuylkill in early days, and the history of Montgomery Co. gives mention that, — "Barnaby Roades got fast in a fish dam" for several hours, and lost his load, * and was in danger of life, etc. The following family are probably the descendants of Barnabas Rhoads. Ann Roads, who died March 16, 1839, was the mother of Abraham Rhoads, b. Dec. 4, 1787? of Gwynedd, d. Nov. 22, 1866; m. Sarah Baker, d. April 3, 1340. Their children were: — Charles, b. 1816.

Of Samuel Rhoads of Philadelphia, house carpenter, we have further records. Honorable Samuel Rhoads, son of John Rhoads, Jr. , and Hannah (Wilcox), was born, 1711. In 1741 he was city Coun- cilman; elected to Assembly in 1761 with Benjamin Franklin, and again in 1762-63-64 and '71-72-73-74. In 1774 he was elected 'Canoes were made from a single poplar log from which the heart had been taken. They carried 140 bushels wheat or 4 tons of briclt. THE MAULSBY FAMILY 343 delegate to the Continental Congress, and the same year Mayor of Philadelphia. He was a founder of the Pennsylvania Hos- pital, and a member of the board of managers; also of the American Philosophical Society, and its vice-president; and a director of the Philadelphia Library. His portrait" [?] in oil is in Carpenters' Hall, Philadelphia, he being a member of that Company, of which he was president and treasurer at the time of his death. He died 12, 14, 1784. He was a member of Franklin's famous ' 'Junta. ' ' Frank- lin, writing of the officers of the Philosophical Society, speaks of him as Samuel Rhoads, "Mechanician." He was also a founder and a first director of the Phila- delphia Contributionship (1752), the first insurance com- pany in America. He was also a member of the Hand-in- Hand Fire Company. In 1751 he was chosen by the Assembly to examine the Schuylkill with a view to bridging it, and in 1761 was appointed one of committee ' 'for cleaning, scouring, and rendering the Schuylkill navigable." In 1762 he was chosen by the Assembly, with Lieutenant Governor Hamilton and others, to attend a conference with the Indians at Lancaster. He was Benjamin Franklin's colleague in the Assembly, and during life his friend. Some of Franklin's letters to him are published in the Penna. Magazine of History, vol. XV., p. 35. Both were interested in the prosperity of Philadelphia. In a letter dated 1771 he makes inquiries about canals and their construction in Eng- land, because "the growing trade of Baltimore Town in Maryland, drawn principally from our province west of the Susquehanna, begins to alarm us with serious apprehensions of such a rival as may reduce us to the situation of Burlington & Newcastle," etc., "and we can devise no means of saving ourselves but by a canal." Of Samuel Rhoads, William Rawle said, — "He was a re- spectable merchant of Philadelphia, belonging to the Society of Friends. Without the talent of speaking in public, he pos- sessed much acuteness of mind. His judgment was sound, and his practical information extensive." * The portrait is not to be found and possibly never existed. 344 THE MA ULSBY FAMILY Samuel Rhoads* married, May 12, 1737, Elizabeth Chand- ler. Their children were: 1. Hannah, who died unmarried, Nov. 1. 1797. (See Eliz. Drinker.) 2. Mary, b. Aug., 1738; d. May 2, 1779; m. Feb. 15, 1764, Thomas Franklin, Jr., of New York, who died Jan. 11, 1797. Their son, Waltert Franklin, was Attorney General of Pennsylvania, 1809-1810, and General Emlen Franklin, Thomas Emlen Franklin, Attorney General of Pennsyl- vania, 1851-2 and 1855-58. Rear Admiral Samuel Rhoads Franklin of Washington, D. C., and General William Buel Franklin, of Connecticut, are their grandchildren. 3. Samuel Rhoads, Jr., b. Aug. 7, 1740, Port Warden of Philadelphia, and Member of the American Philosophical Society; m. June 27, 1765, Sarah, daughter of the eminent Quaker merchant, Israel Pemberton. Their son Samuel ("Sammy") married Mary, daughter of Henry (also an eminent merchant) and Eliz. Drinker. Elizabeth was opposed to the marriage, but says that James Pemberton said "Sammy was a lad of very good moral character, " and "James Logan thought it a very suitable match, Sam being a worthy young fellow. " — See Journal of Elizabeth Drinker. Their daughter Elizabeth, m. Samuel W. Fisher, had four children, and her descendants are those of Coleman Fisher of Philadelphia and Rhoads Fisher of Texas. (For part of this history I am indebted to S. Castner, Jr., of Phila- delphia. ) Elizabeth Roades Elizabeth, b. 1667; m. Edward Dawes, 1 mo. 14, 1692-3,1 and settled in Plymouth township. It seems likely that Elizabeth Dawes died before 1709, at which date Edward Dawes married at Plymouth meeting Sarah Cassel, spinster. The marriage was well attended by various members of the family— see page 49. Abraham, Francis, and Edith were probably his children. Edward Dawes died about 1714. In a deed of Plymouth Meeting dated March 13, 1767, Abraham Dawes is one of the trustees. In deed of 1788, Abraham Dawes is no longer living. *Clty of Philadelphia— Taxes V^aluation of Samuel Rhodes, Sen., (?) £24000; tax 60. t Sarah, a daughter of Walter, married Dr. John A.

Esther Rhoads, 6, 20, 1812, aged 68. Ezekiel Rhoads, 1, 20, 1813, aged 76. John Rodes, Sr., as stated in his will, was a yeoman and cordwainer. He purchased lands in White Marsh, Mont- gomery County, and various tracts in Delaware County, amounting to five hundred and fifty acres. At the time of his death he resided in Upper Darby, Delaware County. In 1699 he bought 108 acres of land in Marple, Delaware County, which, with other property, he bequeathed to his youngest son, Joseph. Joseph Rhoads I. and Abigail Rhoads ' 'Joseph Rodes, or Rhoads, of Marple, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, was born in Derbyshire, England, 5th of Sec- ond month, 1680. He had lately attained his majority when he came into possession of the place in Marple, on which his lineal descendants have resided ever since, adding to it from time to time. There he established a manufactory for leather, and enlarged his estate by purchasing two hundred and fifty acres lying between the property, on which he had built a stone dwelling, and Crum Creek. "The 2d of Seventh month, 1702, he married Abigail Bon- sall, daughter of Richard Bonsall. ' 'Joseph and Abigail Rhoads had four sons and five daugh- ters".

E. Rhoads and Sons of 12 N. Third St., Philadelphia, and 40 Fulton St., New York City, the lineal descendants of Joseph Rhoads, whose old ledgers, with sales of leather in 1723, are preserved. To the family of Joseph and Abigail Rhoads belonged: Dr. James E. Rhoads, editor of The Friends' Review and President of Bryn Mawr College. For history of this family see "Clovercroft Chronicles," by Mary Rhoads Haines, from which the following quotation is taken: — "The family is pre-eminently English, being traceable in Derbyshire, the very heart of England, up to the twelfth century. Something has been impressed upon it by the abode of numerous generations in that ro- mantic country. Its varied surface, high hills, rocky gorges, wooded valleys, caverns of spar, and numerous mines; the rivers Derwent, Dove, Rother and Wye, with smaller sparkling streams, combine their attrac- tions and foster in the denizens of highland and vale a love of home and of the beautiful, a free and thoughtful spirit." She writes in a letter dated: — "Heanor: Seventh mo. 20, 1875. "My dear Daughter [Hannah Rhoads Garrett], "Being near Ripley, in Derbyshire, the place from which our ancestors emigrated two centuries ago, I wish to write to thee while here. "As I sat in meeting last evening among a somewhat rustic people I looked back to the past, and thought how graciously the hand of our Lord has led us as a family all that time. And now after the lapse of two hundred years, I, the eldest of my generation, have been brought back to this spot to worship after the manner my fore fathers had chosen, in spirit and in truth, as I trust, depending on Jesus Christ alone as Priest and Prophet. "Our aged host is Francis Howitt, brother to the poet William Howitt, and this home has sheltered the family for three successive gen- erations; his grand children now come to play around the hearth-stone. "Heanor is a small town on a hill; we have seen it only in the rain, for the weather is wet and cool, and I still wear winter underclothing and sleep beneath blankets "Bubwell Cottage. Afternoon. — Left Heanor this morning at 9.42 o'clock, with Mary, daughter of Francis Howitt, and came by train to Rowsley. We had to change trains near Ripley; the village and church are on a hill and I could see them quite well from the railway. Ripley is a chapelry belonging to the parish of Pentrich. The road leads up the highly picturesque vale of the Derwent." XIV APPENDIX MALTBY MALTBY is a surname of local origin indicating that those who first bore it came from a place of that name. Two places in England now bear the name, parishes in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. A parish and village in Norfolk, now called Mautby, was Maltebei in Domesday time. There is at least presumptive evidence that the surname Maltby arose independently in each of these three places, as it is found as De Malteby on the Rotuli Hundredorum of 1273 in both Norfolk and Lincolnshire, and as DeMaltby on the Poll Tax List of the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1379. The Nor- folk Malteby became Maultby and then Mautby, and as a surname further deteriorated into Maubie and Mawby. Nottinghamshire is now the principal home of the Maltbys in England, and there are secondary centers in Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. Mawby is rare outside of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. The name Maltby indicates a Danish settlement in which the maltster plied her ancient trade. Its English equivalent is "Maltham" or "Malt-town." The old Danes were fond of their ale, and the surnames Malter, Maltster, Maltman, and Malthus {i. e. Malthouse) were all at home in that part of England once occupied by the Danes. The great numerical predominance of maltster over malter, both as a common noun and as a surname, is but one of many indications that the active work of malting, brewing, etc. , was in the hands of the women in those early days. The prototheme is the Old Norse malt, which is cognate in etymology and identical in meaning with the old Saxon (349) 350 THE MAULSBY FAMILY malt, the Old High German, Middle High German, and Ger- man malz, the Middle Low German molt and 7nalt, the Dutch mout, Danish and Swedish malt, Anglo-Saxon mealt, Middle English malte, mault, and malt, and the Scotch-English maut The radical idea in Teutonic may be seen in the Anglo- Saxon meltan, "to melt, dissolve, liquefy," the Old Norse maltr, "rotten," and the Old High German adjective malz, "melting away, soft, relaxed." The cognates farther afield support this. These include the Latin mollis {for moldvis) "soft, tender," etc., the Old Slavonic mladu, "young, tender, soft," the Old Prussian malda, "young," the Cymric 6^2/c^c^, "soft, gentle, tender," Breton hie, "weak;" the Greek amalduno, "to soften, weaken, destroy," and meldo, "to melt, liquefy;" the Sanskrit mrdus, "weak, soft, tender, mild." The deuterotheme by is our most common Scandinavian suffix in place-names, and is an infallible proof that the Dane was once in the land. It appears in Danish and Swedish as by, in Norwegian as bo, in Old Norse as bxr and byr, and was loaned into Anglo-Saxon as by or bye. It is derived from the Old Norse bua, "to dwell," and originally denoted "a dwell- ing, " then "a farmstead," and later "a village or town." This same by appears as a prefix in our "by-law," the Danish bylov and Swedish bylag, a law of a village or town- ship, made by local authority and of local application. From a participial substantive bonde, contracted from boande, buande, of the same Old Norse verb, we get the band in hus- band (Anglo-Saxon husbonda) and the surname Bond, signi- fying "one who occupies and tills the soil, a husbandman."

Notes 'This second volume is the so-called "Little Domesday," consisting of nine hundred large octavo pages and containing the survey of only three counties, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. ''The shire name stands at the top of each left-hand page in the "Little Domesday." The name of the tenant- in-chief, here Rex, the King, stands at the top of each right hand page. ^This is still called the "Hundred of East Flegg." ItisHsted eleven times in the survey of Norfolk. It contains Castre, Filby, Gernemwa, Haringeby, Maltby, Nessa, Ormesby, Ronham, Scroteby, Stokesby, and Trikeby. *The name survives in Mautby, a village and parish of Norfolk. ^Tenuit, held. The past tense here indicates the time of King Ed- ward the Confessor. *Wistan, mentioned only here in the entire Domesday. It is a variant of Wigstan. Twelve of the name are listed in the Onomasticon Anglo- Saxonicum (p. 492). St. Wigstan or Wistan became King of Mercia in 850; another of the name fought at Maldon; others were dukes, thanes, abbotts, deacons, etc. No one of the dozen was an ordinary man. ''Liber homo, freeman. This term in the Domesday is one of consid- erable latitude, sometimes signifying the freeholder of a manor, some- times anyone holding in military tenure. Many so called were tenants of the King in capite. •^Radulfus or Ralph the Staller, i. e., Horse-Thegn, or Master of the Horse, stood high in the esteem of Edward the Confessor. He held large estates in both Norfolk and Suffolk. He was a holder under Ed- ward also in Lincolnshire and Cornwall. 'The carucate was as much arable land as could be tilled with one plough and the oxen belonging to it in a year, having meadow, pasture, and houses for the householders and their cattle. The amount differed according to time and place, the nature of the soil, and the customs of husbandry. Carucates of 60, 100, 112, 120, 150, 160, and 180 acres are mentioned. The Norfolk carucate in Domesday is plausibly argued by Maitland to have been 120 acres. The carucate is the fiscal unit in measurements of land in Suffolk, Norfolk, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire. The solin or solung is so used in Kent. In all other counties the hide is the unit. '"This semper refers to pre-conquestual days. The Inquisitors were THE MA ULSB V FAMIL V 353 to make a triple estimate: first, as the estate was held in the time of Edward the Confessor; second, as it was bestowed by King William; and third, as it stood at the formation of the Survey. ^^Villani, villeins: these were tenants to a kind of estate superior to downright slavery, but inferior to every other condition. Some were annexed to the manor or land and transferable only with it; others were annexed to the person of the lord and transferable by deed from one person to another. They could not leave without their lord's permission: if they ran away or were purloined from him, they might be claimed and recovered by action, like beasts or other chattels. They held at their lord's pleasure small portions of land to sustain them- selves and their families. They could acquire no property either in lands or goods. Their service was mean, such as manuring the lands, hedging, ditching, etc. The law, however, protected their persons, as subjects of the King, against atrocious injuries of their lord. ^^Bordarii , bordars: these were of a less servile condition than the villani. They had a bord or cottage, together with a small parcel of land allowed to them on various conditions. Sometimes they provided poultry, eggs, honey, and other provisions to their lord; sometimes performed various services at the house or about the estate, such as ploughing, grinding, threshing, cutting wood, etc. '^Servi, slaves or serfs: the lowest class of men, without any pre- determined tenure of land, and appointed to servile works at the arbitrary pleasure of their lord and for such wages or maintenance as he chose to give. They were protected as to life and limb against the ill usage of their lord. ^*Caruca, plough. This always includes the team of eight oxen to draw the plough. The term must be distinguished from carucata above. The latter is properly abbreviated car; the former, car. The Norman scribes of the Domesday frequently confuse these and this has led to no end of trouble for Domesday interpreters. Such an entry as: Tunc i car. in d{omi)nio p{ost) et m{odo) ii boves (At that time one plough on the demesne land, afterward, and now, two oxen) : found on fol. 123b, in the Norfolk survey, shows that car. in d{omi)mo is a caruca and not a carucata. ^'^Dimidia, half, i. e., a half caruca or four oxen, making a total of twelve. ^^Dominium, demesne: that part of an estate which was held to the proper use of the lord, in distinction from the tenemental lands. "Every Lordship or Manor was itself the similitude of the Kingdom at large. The lord divided his Manor as the state had divided the King- dom, into two parts: the one he retained for his own support, and was partly cultivated by his villeins and copyholders, and was called his de- mesne; the other part was parcelled out among his dependents who re- turned him their services." — Gilbert, the Law of Tenure, Introd. p. 10. 354 THE MAULSBY FAMILY ^'' Hominum., literally "of the men," i. e. belonging or pertaining to them, so the tenemental lands. ^^Pratum, meadow. This is always carefully noted in the Domesday, showing its importance. It is distinguished from pastura, upland pas- ture. ^^Molinus, mill. This was always a valuable adjunct to an estate and always belonged to the lord. Mills are always carefully listed in the Domesday. This mill was apparently on a stream between Maltby and an adjoining manor, so shared equally between the two holders. '^"Sa.linx, salt-pits. In Domesday times, rock or fossil salt was un- known in England. It was first discovered in Cheshire as late as 1670. The salinse so frequently mentioned in the Domesday are, in the coast counties, pits or ponds for evaporating sea water, and in the inland counties works for refining salt from the salt springs. In the "Little Domesday" the salinae of Norfolk and Essex are especially numerous. ^^Animalia. This is the Domesday term for all bovine animals not used for ploughing. Other animals, as horses of various kinds, sheep, goats, etc., are all listed separately. ^^A Liber homo dimidius was one whose homage was divided between two lords. ^'^Commendatio tantum was the lightest bond existing between a free- man and his lord. It indicates only such service or obligation as the freeman voluntarily tendered to some powerful lord for protection. In times of danger and lawlessness such protection was highly prized and much sought by freemen who feared for their own welfare or the safety of their property. The Norman scribe here committed the error of writing emd. for cmd. i. e. the abbreviated form of emendatio for that of comrnendatio. Emen- datio is a rare term in the Domesday. It has to do with crimes and mis- demeadors, delinquencies, and fines, is not associated with freemen and is not found joined with tantum. On the other hand the phrase commen- datione tantum occurs scores of times in the Domesday and is especially frequent in the "Little Domesday" in the survey of Norfolk and Suffolk. In the former it occurs several times on a single page. ''^Semper: here begins the estimate at the time William assigned the lands of Maltby. Cf. note 10 above. ''^R. comes. This was Ralph Waher or Guader. He had been a traitor to Harold at Senlac, and William had constituted him Earl of Nor- folk and Suffolk. In 1074 he rebelled against William; was defeated in battle, sailed to Denmark to obtain aid, and was outlawed by William, He then went to the duchy of Britany, where he possessed the two castles of Guader and Montefort. He afterwards joined the Crusade against the Saracens, where he lost his life in 1096. After his rebellion and flight, THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 355 his lands reverted to William. Most of them had been given again before the Domesday, but Maltby here appears a part still retained by the King. ^*The description at the time of the Survey now begins. ^'A Bordarius diwidivs was a bordar whose homage and service were divided between two lords. Only fifteen of them are found in the entire Domesday, four in Norfolk and eleven in Suffolk. ^^Soca, soc. The franchises, privileges, etc., of civil and criminal jurisdiction, and the funds accruing from fines, forfeitures, etc. ^^Solidus, shilling. The Domesday shilling is always twelve pence. The Saxon shilling was but five pence. It is usual to multiply Domesday values by thirty to get a fair modern equivalent in prices, valuations, etc. ■'"The increasing value of the lands of Maltby is noteworthy. From a carucate and half of land (probablv 180 acres) it had grown to two carucates and fifty acres (probably 290 acres) of cultivated land; from two and a half ploughs or twenty oxen to eight ploughs or sixty-four oxen, from four to ten acres of meadow, from forty shillings of Edward's time, to fifty in the time of Earl Ralph and to sixty-six and a half in the time of the Domesday. '^^Leuca, leuga, lewa. This is our word league but not our measure. The Register of Battle Abbey defines it as "four hundred and eighty perches or twelve quaranteines. " Ingulphusspeaks of it asamile. The old English mile, however, was more of a traditionary than an ascer- tained measure. Its extreme limit seems to have been about two of our miles, and its most common length about a mile and a half. We may as- sume this value for the leuca here. ^"^Quarentena, from the French quarente, forty, was the forty-long or furlong, a measure of forty perches. The perch varied from ten to twenty-four feet, but usually about sixteen. The longer perches were used especially for forest measures. These measurements give the manor of Maltby a total area of 12X8X10=960 acres. ^'^Geldum, geld or dane-geld, was a land tax, raised originally as a tribute to the Danes. It is first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 991, when ten thousand pounds were thus raised for the Danes. In 994 £16000 were levied. By 1002 the tribute had risen to £24000; in 1007, to £30000. In 1018 Cnut collected £83000. With a Dane upon the throne, this tribute became an occasional war-tax. It was abolished by Edward shortly before the Conquest. No sooner was Wil- liam crowned than he "laid on men a geld exceeding stiff." The next year he "set a mickle geld" upon them. The Domesday was really a geld-book. Its primary object was to register all the geldable property in the realm. The geld on the manor of Maltby was slightly over three per centum, a rather stiff tax. 356 THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL V This is the most interesting of the Maltby records in the Domesday Book. There are ten other passages in which the name Maltby occurs (D. B., tom. II, fol. 180a; tom. ii, fol. 225b; torn. I, fol. 305; torn, i, fol. 319: tom. i, fol. 319, 2; tom. i, fol. 348b 2; tom. i, fol. 349b; tom. I, fol. 355b; tom. i, fol. 356b; tom. I, fol. 359b). All these records manifestly relate to Maltby as a place name, distributed among Norfolk, Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire. The translation of the passage given above, and the accompanying explanatory notes, were furnished by Professor S. Grant Oliphant, of Olivet College, Olivet, Michigan.

Their only child, John Barnard, married Mary Anna Kent. Phebe Williams was educated at Westtown, and at the boarding school of Hannah Williams at Plymouth Meeting. In her younger days she learned to spin, and had fine old linen towels of her own make, also long knitted linen stockings, for which she had spun the thread. She did beautiful sewing. The buttons on all wash goods at that time were made at home out of thread. An old man in the neighborhood of Elkdale cut out bone buttons by hand, and the village blacksmith at Sadsbury made their great cloak-hooks from pieces of silver money — first beating them into wire and then shaping them. » These records are at Marlborough, Pa. THE MA ULSBY FAMIL Y 361 Some years ago [1904] I had given me the old money scales of John Williams, and an old embroidered wallet that belonged to James Williams. The latter was of a quaint pattern (Florentine embroidery) in crewels on canvas, with his initials "J. W. " and the year "1776" worked in. It was lined with a green drab silk and neatly bound. Holding it in my hands, I thought I noticed a slight thickness in one corner, under the cover, and after some time I succeeded in drawing from it, through a worn fold, a small tissue-covered curl of golden hair, that looked as if it had been cut from a child's head only yesterday. I then found in the other corner a silken thread of baby hair. I put them reverently back, to stay while the old pocket-book lasts, where the mother's deft and lov- ing hands had hidden them away long years before, that they might lie close to the heart of their father. John Williams, "Gentleman John, " kept a store, I think on the turn- pike, a short distance above Atglen (Penningtonville). At this time there were living in this neighborhood four John Wil- liamses, descended from a common ancestor. They were designated as — "Ugly John," "Meeting-house John, " "Gentleman John," and, alas! "Dirty John. " The kind heart of the latter, however, finally won for him the name of "Neighbor John Williams." James Williams was a farmer, living, I think, near Parkesburg or Coatesville. — See Chester Co. Records at West Chester. The Goshen meeting was first held at the house of Robert William, who was called "the king of Goshen." These extracts from Elizabeth Drinker's Journal evidently belong to this family. "1785, Jan. 8, Seventh day. Molly Williams, a young woman from Sadsberry, came here with a letter to John «& Henry Drinker, from Wil- liam Downing, desiring them to recommend her to some place in Town, for a few weeks, while she visited her Brother, who is in Jail here. He was taken up in South Carolina as a refugee, and brought here for y" reward offered. His name Amos Williams— entire strangers to us. Ye young woman not knowing where to go, and not having had y'' small Pox, we invited her to stay with us till she could get a place nearer y'' Prison, where she every day took victuals &c to her Brother." 1790, Sept. 25. Many here this day. S. Trimble and wife, Joseph Hampton, Deborah Guest, Ann Williams, and another Ann Williams, and John Hopkins lodged with us. ****** Oct. 3. Went to meeting this morning after all our company was gone but Ann Williams, Jr. The following letter of disownment from the Orthodox Friends at the time of the Separation may be worth preserv- ing: 362 J HE MA ULSB Y FAMIL V "Phebe Barnard, a member of this meeting having joined with others in holding meetings subordinate to a sociation called a Yearly set up out of the unity, contrary to the Discipline, and subversive of the order and harmony of our religious society for which she has been treated with by a committee of women's meeting, but she not manifesting a disposition to return to us, we therefore Disunite her from membership with us as a religious society. Issued at Sadsbury monthly meeting, 10th mo. 6th, 1829. Phebe Barnard considered herself one of the Hicksite Friends. From one of her samplers, worked in 1814, 1 copy: Be soverign grace the guardian of my youth, May heaven-born virtue in my breast preside, While honor, innocence, and truth Attend my steps and all my actions guide. Friendship's a pure, a heaven-descended flame. Worthy the happy region whence it came. The sacred tie that virtuous spirits binds. The golden chain that links immortal minds. Joseph C. and Phebe Barnard lived at Bart, Lancaster Co., Pa. He was injured at a barn raising, and died soon afterward, a young man. His father, Richard Barnard, 4th, and his wife, Sarah (Chambers), are mentioned in the Journal of William Williams, who meets them at Rich- mond, Va., in 1813, attending meetings, and travels with them to Alex- andria and to Sandy Spring, where they "lodge at Edward Stabler's. " He afterwards visits them at their own home at Marlborough, Chester County, Pa. In 1827-8 Richard Barnard 4th was present at Woodbury Monthly Meeting, in New Jersey, at Philadelphia Yearly Meeting,* and at the Yearly Meeting of Chio at Mount Pleasant, and at the latter place was one of those giving evidence in the trial following the Separation. — See Trial of Friends at Stubenville, Ohio, pages 97, 340. John Barnard John Barnard was educated at the Friends' school at Marlborough, Chester Co., Pa. His teacher, Isaac Martin, who taught there many years, was one of the best of old-time school masters. In bookst bound in quaint old-fashioned papers, many serious prob- lems are solved, and often illustrated. The map drawing, the work in botany, in book-keeping, in geometry and trigonometry, is good.

THE MA ULSB Y FAMIL Y 363 sionally the subject matter is varied by the introduction of a quaint picture, as of the Simese twins, or some old problem like the following, illustrated in colors: "I am constrained to plant a grove To satisfy the maid I love. This beauteous grove shall be composed Of nineteen trees in nine straight rows. Five trees in each row I must place. Or I never expect to see her face. " The school, for which land was given, wholly or in part, as was also that for the meeting-house, by his great grand-father, Richard Barnard 3d., overlooked the hillside fields, where that sturdy old Quaker, taking his scythe or sickle, led and out-distanced his six stalwart sons in the harvest field, until their mother (Lettice) would beg that he "would not work the boys so hard . " It overlooked, too, the meadow stream, from which Richard filled his bottles with water when on his way to wash the feet of a neighbor who refused to be friendly, and thus succeeded in making him his friend for life. See for this interesting story "Friends' Miscellany, " Vol. V, page 369. "John Barnard died suddenly in Oxford Township, Chester Co., Pa., 8 mo. 11, 1854, of paralysis of the brain, aged 33 years. "He was a man of sterling integrity, generous and noble in all the relations in life, clear in his moral perceptions, and earnestly devoted to the Christian reforms which are the glory of the present age. His religion was practical rather than theoretical, humanitarian rather than theological in its manifestations. The wretched inebriate, the flying fugitive from slavery, and the poor and afflicted of every class found in him a faithful friend. He was unwavering in the defense of what he believed to be truth, however unpopular, and his influence was directed against every institution, and every custom which he thought calculated to impair the happiness of any portion of the human family. With all his firmness, he was so gentle, affable, and unassuming as to win the re- spect and love of all who knew him." The above was written by his uncle, William Barnard, whose second wife was Mary, sister of Benjamin Lundy. The Barnard family were abolitionists. William and Eusebius and families were disowned from Kennett Monthly Meeting, because of these views. They were members 364 7HE MAULSBY FAMILY of the Progressive Friends at Longwood, from 1851 until after the war, when at the invitation of Kennett Monthly Meeting they returned to their former membership. On an old letter from John Barnard is this seal or wafer: ' 'The Almighty has no attribute that can take sides with the slaveholder." Captain Thomas A. Maulsby Captain Thomas A. Maulsby, aged 77 years, one of the most distinguished veterans of the State, died Tuesday morn- ing, October 6 (1908), at his summer residence, at Moun- tain Lake Park, at three o'clock. All night long, blue-coated veterans of the famous Maulsby 's Battery, who in the stirring days of the sixties stood guard over the tent of their beloved commander, watched as a guard of honor over the remains as they lay in state in a local church. His career during the Civil War won for him much honor, and no citizen in the state was held in higher esteem or more prominent than he. He had resided here the greater part of his life, and was honored and loved by every true cit- izen. A good man has gone home. His remains were brought to Fairmont and now lie in state in the First M. E. Church, watched by a guard from Maulsby's Battery. The interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery. At the conclusion of services in the church. Judge J. W. Mason will read a biographical sketch. The Fairmont Lodge, No. 9, A. F. & A. M. , of which he was a member, will continue the services. After the Masonic rit- ualistic services at the grave are concluded, the command to which Captain Maulsby belonged will take charge, and the bugles will sound the tattoo, and a squad will fire the fare- well salute over the grave, and taps will be sounded in true military form. — From the Fairmont Times, Oct. 7, 1908.
