| 57 | «b»GRIFFITH JOHN the EMIGRATE «/b»In or near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the year 1683 was born to John & Elinor Philipps a son named Griffith. According to papers found in the West Chester Historical Society he was the 2nd of 6 issue: Samuel, John, Robert, Sarah & Thomas (Merton). The Merle Huff Papers state that there was another son Daniel, but that is the only place this writer has ever seen that. Nothing is known of his early life. In Haverfordwest there is a place called Hotel Mariner which was built in the 1650s-we stayed there. I had such a good feeling thinking that Griffith had most certainly seen this building & perhaps had even been in it when he was young. There has been some speculation as to why the brothers left their home & migrated to the colonies. A relation told me that he had heard that Griffith was a widower & needed a change - why would Samuel & his wife come if that was the reason? Another told me that he heard that Griffith owed a tin mine in Wales & got into some sort of trouble & had to leave - the government then took over the tin mine. We checked this story while in Wales & England & were told that there never were any tin mines in Wales - they were all in the Cornish section of England. There was tin factories or mills in Wales; Wales in the late 1600s was the scene of considerable religious activity. The Quaker leader, George Fox, visited there in 1657 & his preaching gained many converts. The movement caused controversy & religious oppression cause many of the Welsh converts to decide to emigrate to the colonies. This, I feel sure, was the reason our ancestor came to these shores. Furthermore I feel that they used the old Welsh custom of name changing so as not to embarrass or cause undue trouble for their family they left behind. Griffith, with his brother Samuel & Samuel's wife, Margaret took passage from Wales (probably from Haverfordwest as the tide used to come back that far & in those days it was quite a busy port) Dec., 1708. Arrived in Philadelphia on 11 Feb., 1709. It has been reported that the trip was long & hard as they sailed through some bad weather that held them back, causing them to run out of food & fresh water. Upon landing the trio went to Goshen which was known as the Welsh Barony & seemed to have been a Quaker Settlement. Nothing was recorded about Griffith until around 1714 when he & Ann Williams requested permission to marry at their Monthly Meeting. It should be noted here that Griffth was then 31 & Ann was 14! The customary investigations were made by the appointed members to be sure each was acceptable for this marriage. The approval was given, however it was stressed that hopefully most young girls would not rush into wedlock at such an early age. On 23 July, 1714 Griffith & Ann were married. It must have been a happy, successful union for they were married 64 years & became the parents of 12 children. Ann was b. 1700, the d/o Robert & Gwen Williams. Ann's father, Robert, who was known as "King of Goshen", was born in Wales in 1647. He married Gwen Cadawallader in the colonies 9 Apr., 1691. Robert died 1734. Gwen's parents were John & Sarah (Roberts) Cadawallader. About 1715 under the auspices of David Lloyd, the Keeper of the Great Seal, Uwchlan Twp. was settled & Griffith was one of the first to purchase farmland there. He referred to his property as a plantation. In 1765 the valuation of Griffith John's property listed: 120 acres with buildings; 10 acres of woodland; 2 horses & 2 cows. It has been written of Griffith that "he became a prominent minister of his sect. He stood well in his church & after his death a testimony relating to him was published by his Monthly Meeting. He lived in great simplicity & plainess & was a lover of peace & labored to promote good feeling among his neighbors. At the advanced age of 90 he was still a constant attendant at his Church, having been a minister there for over 70 years." He died 29 May, 1778, age 95. Ann died 13 Jan., 1782. Perhaps I should mention here that this writer found in one place a story that the parents of our ancestor came over here to the colonies & settled in a different township from the brothers. This writer does not accept this story for nowhere has there been recorded that any member of our family was in that township. One must realize that the name of John was a fairly common one in Wales & so many who used the old Welsh custom of name changing came here as John folks. There was another Griffith John who had arrived here about the same time as our Griffith, settled in another township & also raised a large family. Many places I have found that others doing research had gotten the two families mixed up. Hence those parents were from another John family Griffith JOHN: His Ancestors and Descendants By: Marijane (John) Zerphey http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nungesser/John/ | Family: F3226

| 60 | Taylor COUNTY GA Bios Adams File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by John Adams traceradams@mindspring.com ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taylor/bios/adams.txt THE ADAMS FAMILY By John R. Adams, Sr. The earliest information that is known at this time about the Adams Family dates back to Virginia in the late 1700's. Benjamin Adams of Southampton Co., Va. died about 1795. His will was dated October 30, 1794 and probated March 12, 1795. His wife was named Margaret and her maiden name is unknown at this time. The children listed in the will were as follows: daughter Sally Ivey, wife of Adam Ivey; daughter Priscilla Prince, wife of Joseph Prince; daughter Nancy; son Arthur; daughter Betsy, (Elizabeth) wife of Jordan Pate; Charlotte, wife of Herbert Pate; granddaughter Sally Adams; and wife Margaret. Arthur Adams was the next in our Adams Family line. He married Elizabeth Reese, daughter of Randolph and Sarah "Sally" Harris Reese, in Southampton Co., Va. August 27, 1801. They were the parents of Benjamin Adams, born February 16, 1803, in Virginia; Sarah Adams, married Wike Ivey; Charity Adams, married Jesse B. Farr (of Upson County, Ga.); and an unknown daughter who married Simeon Reese. They moved to Columbia Co., Ga. about 1808 and Arthur Adams died there in January, 1822. Benjamin Adams is the next Adams in our family line and his family and his mother Elizabeth Reese Adams moved to Warren Co., Ga. after the death of Arthur Adams. His father's sister, Charlotte Adams Pate, and her husband Herbert Pate were living in Warren Co., Ga. at that time. Benjamin Adams married Emily Ivey in Warren Co., Ga. December 18, 1823. She was the daughter of Dinkins and Lydia Hodgins Ivey. Lydia Hodgin(s) Ivey was a Quaker and the daughter of John and Mary Vernon Hodgin(s) both Quakers and original settlers of Wrightsborough, Ga. John Hodgin(s) land grant was dated February 2, 1769. Benjamin and Emily Ivey Adams moved to Upson County, Georgia about 1838 and settled south of Thomaston. Their land was located west of U. S. 19 south of Thomaston past Tobler Creek. Tobler Creek ran through their land. Benjamin Adams owned Land Lots 160, 161, 169 and 50 acres of lot 192. At one time he owned lot 163 and he sold it to Davis Dawson. All these lots are in the 16th District of Upson Co., Ga. The south west corner of Lot 163 is where my dad, Elder John Bentley Adams, said that Uncle Joseph Lee Adams told him the Benjamin Adams family cemetery is located. Benjamin and Emily Ivey Adams and three of their children are believed to be buried in this cemetery as well as his mother Elizabeth Reese Adams. The children of Benjamin and Emily Ivey Adams were: (1) Arthur Adams born October 9, 1824. He married first Unicey C. Snipes and second to her sister Antoinette Snipes. Jewell Adams Adams' husband Luke Adams was a descendent of this family. (2) Amanda Adams born December 3, 1826. She married Thomas Jefferson Norman and they settled in Bell Co., Texas. (3) Dinkins Adams born January 20, 1828. He married Georgia Ann Amanda Snipes and they settled in Bell Co., Texas. (4) Benjamin Ivey Adams born April 15, 1829. He became a doctor and settled in Alabama. He died October 6, 1885 and is buried at Cleburne Co., Ala. I located him this year and have not researched his family. (5) William David Adams born September 10, 1830. He married Samantha Jane McKindley and they settled in Bell Co., Texas. (6) Elizabeth Adams born January 12, 1832. She married Francis Marion McKenney. She died in Taylor Co., Ga. from complications of childbirth. She was the mother of seven known children including two sets of twins. She died February 21, 1860 after the birth of her second set of twins. Francis M. McKenney moved to Lee Co., Ga. (7) Curtis Albert Adams born August 15, 1833. He married Mary Elizabeth Jane Rivier. Curtis Albert Adams was killed July 9, 1864 in The War Between The States. His wife and children settled in Thomaston. (8) Drucilla Margaret Adams born May 3, 1836. She died November 15, 1844 and is believed to be buried in the Benjamin Adams Family Cemetery. (9) Mary Ann Adams born February 10, 1839. She married James M. Taylor and they probably settled in Alabama. (10) Emily Adams born March 15, 1841. She died October 28, 1847 and is believed to be buried in the Benjamin Adams Family Cemetery. (11) Joseph Randall Adams born January 25, 1843. He married Mary Elizabeth Caldwell and their family is the subject of this cookbook. (12) Lillian Miranda Adams born March 8, 1845. She married Doctor Joseph C. Chatham and they are believed to have settled in Alabama. (13) Elline Annet Manervia Adams born March 14, 1847. She married Andrew D. McComb and they are buried in Buena Vista, Ga. Andrew McComb married Martha F. "Mattie" Adams, daughter of Joseph Randall and Mary Elizabeth Caldwell Adams, as his second wife. (14) Eveline J. Adams born abt. 1849. She died September 23, 1851 and is probably buried in the Benjamin Adams Family Cemetery. (15) Davis P. Adams born abt. 1854. He lived with his sister, Mary Ann Adams Taylor after the death of his parents. (16) Eldora Adams born abt 1855. She was listed in the house of her brother-in-law Francis Marion McKenney in Terrell Co., Ga. in 1870. Benjamin and Emily Ivey Adams attended Good Hope Primitive Baptist Church in Upson County, Ga. They both died in March of 1863 and the inventory of their estate gives us a picture of how they lived. They owned 14 slaves at the time of their death and they were valued at $32,623.00 and 656 acres of land valued at $10,075.00. Some of the items sold at the sale of their estate: 25 Sheep, 124 hogs, 20 cows, 1 bull, 3 mules, 1 horse, 1 colt, 2 buggies, 1 saddle, 1 side-saddle, 9 bee gums, sewing machine, spinning wheel, blacksmith tools, set of china, 5 beds (with 16 children they had to sleep more than one to the bed), 200 lbs. of bacon, 168 lbs. lard, 549 bushels of corn, 52 bushels of wheat, 13 bushels of barley, 27 lbs. of wool, 8 bales of cotton, 2 ovens, one large oven, 18 chairs and 1 table. Joseph Randall Adams was away at War when his parents died in March of 1863. He was in the Battle of Stones River, Tennessee on December 31, 1862 through January 2, 1863. By February 9, 1863 Joseph and Co. B, 2nd. Georgia Sharpshooters were in Chattanooga, Tenn. His service record does not state whether he went home when his parents died. Joseph Adams was wounded September 20, 1863 in the battle of Chickamauga, Tenn. He probably went home at that time because there is no record of him going to a hospital. Joseph Randall Adams married Mary Elizabeth Caldwell on November 5, 1863. He was at home on November 24, 1863 and he purchased 10 hogs for $1813.00. He purchased a Negro girl named Susan for $2860.00 at the estate sale of his fathers property on December 1, 1863. We researched for years for Joseph Randall Adams and Mary Elizabeth Caldwell Adams' marriage record. This year Ruth Hays Cooper gave me some items from Aunt Lola Adams Waters' family and a copy of their marriage certificate was among the items. The certificate is very large and in very bad condition. The following information: Mr. J. R. Adams of Upson County, Georgia and Miss M. E. Caldwell of Taylor County, Georgia were by me united in marriage according to the ordinance of God and the laws of the State of Georgia at John Caldwell's house on the 5th of November AD 1863.

Caldwell was Pleasant Creed Caldwell brother of Mary Elizabeth Caldwell) There were pictures of Joseph and Mary Adams in the top corners.

| 71 | Daniel Andrews and his brother John were two of the children of John and Sarah Andrews of Dinwiddie County, Virginia. The family was members of the "Society of Friends" (Quakers). The meeting was at Gravely Run a country meeting, about 12 miles from Petersburg, Virginia. Daniel and John Married sisters, Sarah and Edna Crew. Early Friends were not allowed to marry outside of the Friends Society. Possibly Sarah and Edna were not brought up as members of the Friends Society. This and local unrest on account of slavery may have been factors in their decision to move north to Ohio. Sarah and Ednas mother, Miriam, owned a 177 acre farm in Columbiana County, Ohio. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrews Vs.

| 74 | Grandpa Andrews was a strong man, He worked hard all of his life. When I first meet him I think he was getting bald, but you could still tell he had red hair. He worked the farm in Marshalltown, Iows, raised hogs and corn. I remember when visiting he would have tomatoes with sugar on them for lunch. He was a quiet man, but when he spoke you listened. When he was young, I do not know at what age he was roping a horse and had the rope around his fingers. He lost all of the fingers on his right hand, except his thumb. He always smelled like work. He had a wonderful workshop in the barn where he could build or fix anything. These are the things I remember.

| 80 | ANDREWS HISTORY John and Sarah Butler lived and died in Dinwiddie County, Virginia and were members of the "Society of Friends". The meeting was at Gravely Run - a country meeting, about 12 miles from Petersburg, Virginia. Daniel and John were two of their children. They married sisters, Sarah and Edna Crew. In 1826 Daniel and wife Sarah decided to move to Ohio. There was so much unrest on account of slavery - also early Friends were not allowed to marry outside of the Friends Society and that was not good. They loaded all their possessions in a wagon drawn by a fine 3 year old mare named "Fancy" and also took Sarah's mother, Miriam, along. Miriam had already bought a farm of 177 acres in Columbiana County, Ohio. Not long after the long trip over the Allegheny Mountains, Sarah lost her babe and she died in childbirth. Daniel lived in Miriam Crew's home until John and Edna came. He then bought 77.acres of Miriam's land and built himself a home there. Later he went over into Jefferson County Ohio and married Mary Ratcliff - his second wife was a first cousin of his Sarah. Mary was the child of Isaac and Margaret Ratcliff. He was a pioneer resident of .MT. Pleasant,Ohio. Daniel and Mary Ratcliff Andrews had 12 children - two died in infancy. All were born in Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1850 Daniel moved his family to Marshall County, Taylor township, Iowa where he bought and improved a good 200 acre farm. During the Civil War Daniel speculated in wool at $1.50 a pound. He lost his farm and September 27, 1865 he died. He was buried in the "Friends" cemetery at Bangor, Iowa. The support of the mother and sisters fell on -William and James' shoulders. The brother Isaac was away at school. William and James bought 105acres in Taylor township, near the other farm. They improved that and raised pure bred hogs and cattle. James Married Asenath Wilson October 17, 1887. "Abe" and Viola Cotton went them in their "spring wagon", to James Montgomery, the preacher, to be married. Asenath moved in with his family. In 1880 Mary Ratcliff Andrews died and was buried in the Prairieville Cemetery across the road from their farm. The weather and roads were very bad that spring, and Mary told her sons not to try to bury her beside her husband at Bangor. It was about 18 miles away and would have been a terrible trip under the existing conditions. The Prairieville cemetery was close and many Friends were buried there. In 1889 William and James dissolved their partnership. William was in insurance business. James bought a large farm in Sinn township, Marshall County. The new farm cost $16.00 per acre. The old one sold for $50.00. James and Asenath lived there until he retired in 1909. They moved to 7 South 9th Street, Marshalltown and lived there until 1928 when they went to Whittier, Calif., where James died January 1, 1937. Asenath passed away November 20, 1942. Both bodies were brought back to Marshalltown and buried in Riverside Cemetery. Duncan Rea Williams III (rea@drwilliams.org) transcribed this document in 1998 from a typewritten document received from his grandmother, Iva (Lounsberry) Andrews, daughter of Edwin C. Andrews. From Portrait and Biographical Record Jasper-Marshall-Grundy Counties - Iowa Published 1894 James Andrews James Andrews, a leading farmer of Linn township, Hill County, Iowa - his home being in section 21, was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, June 7, 1845. He is son of Daniel and Mary Ratcliff Andrews. His paternal Grandfather John Andrews and his wife Sarah Butler Andrews ware members of the "Society of Friends". They lived and died in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. Daniel Andrews Was born November 6, 1803 and emigrated to Columbiana County Ohio in his early manhood. He was a farmer by occupation and after engaging in that vocation in Ohio till the fall of 1856, he moved to Marshall County, Iowa and bought 240 acres In Taylor township, to the improvement of which he devoted himself until shortly before his death on September 27, 1865. He was first a Whig and later a Republican and like his father before him a "Friend". He was twice married. His first wife died without children, in childbirth. But to himself and second wife (Mary Ratcliff) were born 12 children, all but two of whom lived to maturity. They are as follows: Margaret (Mrs. John Lloyd); Elizabeth(deceased)wife of Adna Fogg; Isaac R.; Sarah, wife of Ezra Teagarden; William; James; Martha, wife of Dr. William Owen; Mary, wife of Willard Santee; Deborah; Hannah Butler. The mother of these children, who was born in Virginia, was a daughter of Isaac and Margaret Ratcliff, a pioneer of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio and of English origin. Our subject (James) was born and brought up on a farm, and when eighteen years old, with his brothers began caring for the family. He bought 105 acres where he resided until 1890 when he moved to his present farm. He and his brother William had years before, made a specialty of breeding hogs of fine grades. The present fine property belonging to Mr. Andrews comprises 388 acres on section 21, and is under good cultivation. Mr. Andrews was married October 17, 1878 to Miss Asenath Wilson, whose birth occurred in Hamilton County Indiana, May 3, 1860. She is the daughter of Nathan Wilson and Anna (Clayton) Winslow. The father of Nathan was Samuel Wilson, and he was the son of Joseph who was born and reared in North Carolina. His wife being Sarah(Charles) Wilson, of Quaker stock. Samuel Wilson also of North Carolina, emigrated to Hamilton County, Indiana during the early days of the settlement. He was the father of 13 children, 8 boys and 5 girls. His wife Ruth Thornburg died in 1860. He afterward moved to Leavenworth County, Kansas, where he died in 1866. Nathan Wilson was born in Hamilton County, Indiana on July 12, 1837, and in addition to farming, worked as a blacksmith and carpenter. In 1864 he emigrated to Kansas where he engaged in farming, and also worked at his trade. In the early spring of 1876 he came to Marshall County, Iowa, but at the end of 3 years he located in Grundy County (Felix Township). Five years later he became owner of 320 acres in Cherokee County, near Marcus, Iowa. Mrs. James Andrews is one of 10 children, the others being as follows: Andrew Franklin; Alvin E.; Mary A. (Adaline) deceased of TB.; Sarah Ann; Albert C.; Emma; Mattie E.; Ida M.; and Bertha A. Our subject and wife are parents of 7 children. Daniel; Edwin C.; Louella; Anna M.; Clara E.; Raymond J; and Nathan Franklin. (Three were born later) They have all been given good school advantages, and have been brought up in the faith of the "Friends" Church, of which their parents are members. Mr. Andrews and wife are among the most esteemed citizens of the community in which they dwell, and in their lives one sees mirrored forth the peaceful and beautiful teachings of their love by faith. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Anna Clayton daughter of Evan Baldwin and Mary Mills Clayton descended from Sir Robert Bruce III -King of Scotland. She was of the 5th generation. Tradition has it that the daughter of Sir Robert Bruce fell in love with her fathers coachman, and he disinherited her. They were married and came to America where, for a time, they had to live in a cave until they could get a home. James Baldwin -author of many text books- was a first cousin of Anna Clayton Wilson.

| 86 | Ruth was the oldest of three children. Her early childhood was spent on the family farm in Minnesota. Some time later the family moved back to Iowa. Ruth was a precocious student, graduating from high school when she was 16. Attending college was probably not a common occurrence for girls of her generation, but her family highly valued education and sent her to Whittier College in 1924. She majored in mathematics and physics and minored in French. She lived with relatives in the town of Whittier. It was here that she met and fell in love with Duncan Williams. Unbeknownst to Ruth, her Whittier relatives did not approve of this young man and, to separate the couple, arranged for Ruth to be called home, back to Iowa when she was a junior in college. She attended William Penn College in Oskalosa, Iowa until she was married in March 1928. She and her new husband began their lives together in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming where they first lived in an apartment on Ivinson Street. During the first Fall in their new home Ruth was diagnosed with tuberculosis. The following remembrance of this period is from a letter written to Ruth's daughter shortly after Ruth's death (Jan. 9, 1988) by a good friend, Gerald Spence: "I first met your dad (Dunc) circa 1928. I was working in the State Chemist Lab. In Laramie when one morning a tall young man walked in and asked the Chief if he had a little space where he could make some simple tests on Limestones for the cement plant that was a-building south of town. The space was given and he went to work. He was in and out of the lab. collecting and testing various limestones and shales. After a couple of weeks he didn't show up, then after a period he showed up again and said he was married. Esther, my children's mother, and I soon called on these two very pleasant young people. They were only slightly junior to us and we became good friends. We picnicked, we fished and we played cards. Then your mother became ill and was in a sanatorium in Colorado for a number of months. Ruth was pregnant and the Drs. insisted on an abortion feeling the pregnancies and tuberculosis were not compatible. Ruth returned to Laramie and made a good life for herself and your dad and you and Rea." Actually Ruth spent a couple of years in the t.b. sanatorium in Boulder, Colorado. (She was there at the same time as Robert Frost's daughter.) Part of her treatment was a procedure called pneumothorax, in which one of her lungs was permanently collapsed. When she came back to Laramie, she and Duncan built a home at 706 South 14th Street. This home was quite modern (for the 1930s) and had a lovely big yard and garden. Eventually she had a clean bill of health and was told that she could start a family. Her first child, Sarah, was born in 1940 and a son, Duncan Rea III, in 1942. She suffered a miscarriage in 1944 or 1945 and had no more children. Unfortunately, every winter Ruth was susceptible to bouts of bronchitis and other congestive difficulties. (It was unfortunate that she was a dedicated smoker.) In 1952 she had her useless lung removed (and in the process had a near-death experience), a procedure that vastly improved her health. She no longer spent winters with weeks at a time coughing and suffering. Ruth probably disliked cooking, and housekeeping in general, although she was a proficient homemaker. In 1947 the family moved to a two-story stucco home at 1524 Rainbow Ave. To make ends meet, they rented two or three rooms out to college students for many years. Off and on over the years, Ruth took occasional courses at the University of Wyoming, but never completed her college degree. Her passion was knitting, and she could knit anything! And she did knit hundred and hundreds of sweaters and other articles during her lifetime. For several years she was the joint owner of a yarn shop in Laramie. Another of her passions was making custom jewelry with local stones that Duncan had polished. She learned the art under the tutelage of Robert Russin, the famous sculptor at the University of Wyoming. She also loved playing, bridge, reading mysteries, and, after they got TV in 1958, watching soap operas. She was also very interested in politics (both local and national). She was a member of the Laramie City Council and President, first, of the Laramie chapter and then of the State League of Women Voters in Wyoming. The family's move to LaCanada, Ca, in 1959 was difficult for Ruth who had lived in the small community of Laramie (where she knew everyone and everyone knew her) for thirty-two years. Her children were growing up and her husband now commuted to work in Los Angeles every day. After Duncan died in 1971, Ruth moved to Ft. Collins Colorado, near where her two brothers and mother were living. She continued knitting and was a volunteer for the Ft. Collins hospital association. In 1981 she moved to Northern California to be near her daughter. She spent the last years of her life living at the Redwoods in Mill Valley where she continued to knit (earning some spending money by making production sweaters of mohair in luscious colors) and play bridge with new friends. Ruths ashes were scattered by her children at Drakes Beach in Marin County on Mother's Day, 1988. | Ruth Agnes Andrews

| 90 | Notes from ancestry.com: Mary Ansley, wife of Job Morris, was sister to Thomas, Benjamin, Rebecca and William Ansley, Jr. Thomas married in Monmouth County then moved to Warren County, Georgia. Mary and Job also married in Monmouth County and Mary moved to Warren County with the children after Job died. It was in Warren County, Georgia where Thomas' son Abel Ansley and Mary's daughter Lydia Morris (first cousins) married on January 30, 1790. Jimmy Carter is descended from Abel and Lydia through their daughter Ann Ansley who married Wiley Carter. Wiley and Ann Carter's son, Littleberry Walker Carter, married Mary Ann Diligent Seals and moved to Sumter County, Georgia. Jimmy is their great grandson. When Thomas moved to Georgia, he settled in Wrightsboro, a community Royal Govenor Wright gave to emigrating Quakers for religious freedom, thereby giving Augusta a buffer from the Indians. Thomas fought in the Revolution and when he returned from the war the elders would no longer let him live in Wrightsboro (anti-war, anti-violence, royalists that they were). As a result Thomas bought land just outside Wrightsboro and built a house for his family, known as the Rock House, which still stands and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Arms. Thomas, London--"Ar, a chevron or and sa, betw three ravens close of the last. Crest. On a branch of a tree lying fessways (at the dexter end some sprigs vert) a raven, wings expanded sa."(*) An interesting figure in the family line is Philip Thomas, the grandfather of Sarah Arnold, second wife of Samuel Waters, Sr. (Jericoe, 1696.) The "Thomas Book" contains a long account of him and of his supposed descent from Sir Rhys ap Thomas, and for this descent, I refer my readers to that book. But I give an abridged account of our ancestor for the benefit of those of the family, who may not have access to it. "Philip Thomas of the mercantile house of Thomas and Devonshire at Bristol, Eng., was son of Evan Thomas of Glamorganshire, Wales, born 1580, died 1650. This was the earliest ancestor of the family of whom there is documentary proof." . . . Philip Thomas in 1651 removed to the Province of Maryland, and the earliest land patent in his name, dated Feb. 19th, 1651/2, conveys to him 500 acres of land called 'Beakeley' or 'Beckly' on the west side of Chesapeake Bay " in consideration that he hath in the year 1651 transplanted himself, Sarah his wife, Philip, Sarah and Elizabeth, his children, into our province.'" He would appear to have come directly from Bristol to Maryland. Between 1658 and 1661 he had patented to him 100 acres called 'Thomas Towne,'1665 a patent of 120 acres called 'Fullers Poynt' in 1668 a patent of 300 acres called 'The Planes' and numerous other patents of unnamed tracts. This land lay mostly in Ann Arundel County near what is now known as West River. Fullers Poynt between the Severn and South Rivers is now called Thomas Point and is the site of a lighthouse. A man of character and resolution, the emigrant soon acquired influence among his neighbors and affiliating himself with the Puritan party, he became one of the leaders in the conflict with Lord Baltimore, the Proprietary, and his representatives in the Province. When Cromwell and the Parliamentary party were supreme in England their sympathizers in Maryland broke out in open rebellion (under Colonel Richard Bennett) and Philip Thomas with a commission as Lieutenant was of the muster in Ann Arundel County, Md. After the surrender of the Governors party to the revolutionists, Philip Thomas, Mar. 20th, 1656/7 was appointed one of the six High Commissioners of the Provincial Court, the father of his son-in-law, John Mears, being another. When Oliver Cromwell ordered them to restore the government to the Proprietary he was one of the Commissioners to make the surrender, which was effected Mar. 24, 1658/9. After this he does not seem to have taken an active part in the political affairs of the Province." In April, 1672, George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends arrived in Maryland,landing at the Patuxent just in time to reach a "very large meeting and held for four days to which besides Friends came many other people divers of whom were of considerable quality in the world's account." He remained in America until after the next "general meeting" at West River which commenced May 3rd, 1673 and lasted four days. In describing this meeting he says, "divers of considerable account in the government and many others were present, who were generally satisfied and many of them reached, for it was a wonderful glorious meeting." It is probable from the tenor of Philip Thomas's will, that he was one of those "reached" by George Fox as were a number of his family whose names are enrolled upon the early records of the Society of Friends. It is certain that the wife of Philip Thomas became a Quakeress and a preacher. Further on, the writer gives an extract of his will. " The clause making the 'body of Quakers' a final court of appeal in the event of any dispute concerning its provisions was a common clause amongst the Society of Friends." Philip Thomas**** married in England, Sarah Harrison, who died in 1687. ************************************************************************* The following pedigree is from the "Visitation" of London, Volume I,353: ************************************************************************* Michael Harrison, of the County of Lancaster, came & lived at Kendall, County,Westmoreland.

The children of the marriage of Philip Thomas and Sarah Harrison were: Philip, born in England. Sarah, born in England, married in 1672, John, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Mears; both died in 1675. Elizabeth, born in England, married first William Coale, second Edward Talbot; she died in 1726. Martha,born in Maryland after 1651;married after 1672,Richard Arnell or Arnold,who died in 1684. Samuel, born 1655; married May 15th, 1688, Mary, daughter of Francis Hutchins of Calvert County. The children of Richard Arnold and Martha Thomas were: Samuel, died young. Elizabeth, born 1682; married first Jacob Giles, second Thomas Hawkins. Sarah, married Samuel Waters, Sr. (of "Jericoe"). The following extract from the Land Records of Ann Arundel County will be of interest: "Into court came Samuel Waters of Ann Arundel Co., in Right of his Wife, Sarah, one of the Coheiresses of Rich'd Arnold, late of Ann Arundel Co decd, claimed a Title to 50 acres of Land being a moyety of 100 acres wh the s'd Richard Arnold purchased of Thomas Pratt who was the Grantee of John Cumber the Original Purchaser of 600 acres called Cumberstone."

In his will he indicates that he gave the land, but the land records show a price. This was in Section 27, in Mount Pleasant Township, which was founded ca 1800 and was settled by Friends from various locations. Mount Pleasant became known as the literary center of eastern Ohio as periodicals, magazines and books began to be published there. A Friends Boarding School was erected in 1837, and the area attracted persons interested in a higher realm of mental and spiritual development. At the same time a woolen factory, tannery, meat market, flouring mill, and the first factory for the weaving of silk in the U.S. began there in 1840." "At the same time Pleasant Grove was known as "Hole in the Ground". This odd named referred to a coal mine in the area.
