m t Concerning Joseph Paull, the Quaker im igran and founder of the Paul family in Philadelphia , an effort is here made to make reference to all known

. e recorded facts No p rsonal memoir of him, and but one letter written by him , has come down to us . There is in fact little left but the dry- as - dust records occur Wi o n ring in Deeds , lls , and ther public docume ts , together with the form al but minutely accurate rec ords of the Quaker Meetings with which he was con

nected. Perhaps the recital of these things may be found tedious , but it is my belief that such materials , if ex am ined fﬁ with su cient care , may be compelled to yield up some sort of a picture of the man, clothing the dry bones with human ﬂesh . This I have tried to do . Some years ago I compiled in manuscript a ten tative account of various lines of his descendants bear ing the name of Paul and hoped to complete it by tracing the female lines also ; but this must remain in manuscript , to be completed if at all , by someone else , for it has not been possible for me to give to it the very considerable amount of time required . Accordingly, I am now printing a few copies of such part only of my manuscript as relates to Joseph Paull the immi ’ grant , his son James , and the latter s son John, who e e was the parent of the broth rs , Thomas and Jam s e Paul, living in Philad lphia during and after the Revo lution from whom our immediate family is descended . Of these two brothers I have endeavored to supply fo r

preservation a full record of the descendants . This much I am now printing for the beneﬁt of my children I and grandchildren . will leave to some of them the

extension of this work should it ever seem desirable .

( 1 ) JOSEPH PAULL was a Sergem aker of Ilmin ster, Somerset County, England, whence he emigrated P nn l to Oxford Township, Philadelphia County, e sy va nia 1 6 5 , in the fall of 8 , three years after William Penn t i e founded the Ci y of Ph lad lphia . Ilminster is in the southwestern part of Somerset mi shire , about ten les from Taunton and near to the b oundary lines of Devonshire and Dorsetshire . It is a very ancient town with a history reaching back to x Sa on times . Especially interesting is its very old parish church . An account of the town and its history has been published by Mr . Street, late Vicar of the “ ”

c . Ilminster Chur h ( The Minister of the Ile , by Rev

James Street , Taunton,

Pauls live in Ilminster today, and have lived there since early Tudor times , and probably longer . The f name in the old records is spelled indi ferently, Pol,

Poole , Polle , Pawle , Pall , Palle , and no doubt in other ways . One cannot but suspect some confusion or pos sibly identity with Powell (the Welsh of ap Howell) . During the 1 7th Century the name was usually spelled

Paull . The family seems to have been closely connected w ith the woolen and cloth making industry during the l h 1 n 6t and 7th centuries . This was and long had bee the chief industry not only of Ilminster , but of the other towns in the neighbourhood of Taunton .

With a View to improving this useful art , the great Duke of Somerset in the l6th century brought from the Rhine country a number of German families Who w ere skilled in cloth making , and settled them in vari ous towns in Somersetshire in order that their superior knowledge of the art and mystery of cloth making 6 FIRST GEN ERA TIO N

m ight be disseminated through the county . These Ger m “ ” ans knew how to make serge cloth, with a some w hat different weave from that previously practiced by the English weavers . Thereafter the cloth makers of “ ” “ Somersetshire became serge makers , and Taunton serges ’ found a market not only in England but on the continent . The business was carried on upon a con “ ” i r - s de able scale . The Serge maker , who occupied as m we will assu e, his long, low, thatched Tudor dwelling on the village street, extended his house to a consider able length and placed in the extension a number of hand looms which were operated by weavers hired l from the neighborhood . There was usual y a dye house in the rear where the yarn was dyed and often a spin ning establishment where the wo ol - combers and e spinners worked . The product of thes operations was “ ” the e e m sold to Clothier, of whom ther wer any in

Somersetshire , who in turn sent the cloth to the London m or any other convenient arket . Among the Germans who came from the Rhine country to Ilminster during the reign of Edward VI , Stes slin en t ck sh was Peter Meyer of g , Bezirksamt S o a , 58 Oberrhein . In 1 7 his daughter Maria married t William Paull , also of Ilminster, who was the Grea

Grandfather of Joseph . This William Paull was a “ ” clothier, as was his son John . His Grandson

William, and Great Grandson Joseph were both “ ” r m k se ge a ers . This is the line in which we are in t rest d e e . Of John Paull we only know that he was a clothier i D olishw ake resid ng in , a little village one and one half miles south of Ilminster . He had several children including sons , William and Thomas . This second William Paull was a sergem aker. He was also a Church Warden of Ilminster Church II during the reign of Charles . The record of his marriage is of interest . During the Commonwealth an Act of Parliament permitted certain Justices of the ni Peace to solem ze marriage. This was because so — JOSEPH PAULL ANCESTRY m any of the parish churches were without any clergy in c e man charge , or because in other pla es indep ndent m inisters who were unacceptable to the parishioners ,

had been put in charge of the parish churches . At h Ilminster, James Strong, who for a time had t e living, was particularly obnoxious to many of the town ’s

people . ﬁv i At Weston , Combe St . Nicholas , e m les distant

o P . from Ilminster, lived Henry B nner , J . , who was “ ” one of these marrying Justices . His marriage reg ister is preserved among the records of Wells

Cathedral , and in it are recorded the large number of marriages which he performed at his house for the fee

. d of six shillings each But as a favor , or for an ad i tional consideration , he would go elsewhere to per

form the ceremony, and he has entered in his registry 2 3 1 655 mi that on Tuesday, October , , he went to Il nster and there married William Paull and Mary Townsend

“ ‘ ” T ow nesind . ( spelled ) , both of Ilminster Of this

marriage were born a number of children, including

Joseph Paull, the subject of this sketch . After the

death of this wife , William Paull married on December 9 1 669 , , as his second wife, Petronella Somers , this marriage being set down in the records of Ilminster

Church . There is no reason to suppose that William Paull

ever became a Quaker , for his name does not occur in

their records . Quakers were numerous in Ilminster In even before the Restoration of King Charles II. the year 1 659 the Ilminster Meeting numbered 2 90 persons and among them is found William ’s brother “ ’ ” Thomas . In Besse s Sufferings there is a detailed record of the hardships to which his religion subjected 1 1 Thomas Paull . In 66 distraint was made upon his

2 - 5s . goods to the value of £ . for non attendance at the 1 2 parish church . In 66 he was put in jail for attending 0 1 6 . meeting . The same thing happened in 7 Later in

the same year, being in London, he was taken from

meeting and committed to N ew gate as a rioter . 8 FIRST GENERATION

1 4 1 65 Joseph Paull was born at Ilminster July , 7, and the inﬂuence of his uncle Thomas is sufﬁcient to account for his presence as a boy at the Ilminster Quar terly Meeting on and His name does not again occur in the Ilminster records until

1 681 . During this interval he was residing at or near rli Ba scom be in Devonshire . This was also a woollen town and we may assume that his residence there had “ ’ ff something to do with this trade . In Besse s Su er ” 1 ings (Vol . , page is the record of distress taken from Joseph Paull in the year 1 676 for attending l meeting at Bar iscom be. At this time he must have h contracted his friends ip with Robert Welsh, a well known Quaker of considerable means who lived about U fculm e t one mile away at , and who , wh n he af erwards wanted an agent to manage his land in West Jersey, chose Joseph Paull , then living in Philadelphia . At the age of twenty- three Joseph Paull chose a ﬁ wife . His marriage certi cate is recorded in the rec ords of Collum pton (Devon) Meeting as follows

W H EREA S it hath been an intention of marriage duly published at several meetings of the people of God called Quakers in ye County

of Devon Somerset , between Joseph Paull ofHolcombe Rogus inthe

wherein the said Margaret did formerly reside . And in all nothing n appearing [contrary to& the prosecutio of the said marriage , but a of full consent friends relations to the same. At the usual meeting ’ Collom ton o affores d place at p in the County fDevon , the said Joseph Paull and Margaret Roberts did take and declare each other to be ’ ’ husband and wife . The s d Joseph taking the s d Margaret by the hand said these words viz : ffriends in [the presence of&the Lord this assembly of people I doe take thee Marge’rt Roberts to be my wife promising as the Lord shall enable me to be unto thee a faith n o d t full and loving husba d till the L rd shall separate us by ea h . ’ ’ ’ Mr ’ And the s d a gt having the s d Joseph by the hand s d these words

It w ill be notic ed that no others of the name of Paull or of Roberts have signed this document . Social ostracism of this sort was the penalty of dh a erence to the Quakers . Shortly after this he returned with his wife to Ilminster and is there recorded among those present at the Ilminster meeting continuously from 1 681 to This date in the Quaker calendar corre

2 9 1 685 a e ponds to July , , and is the l st occurrenc of his name in the Ilminster meeting records . During this interval two c hildren were born to him whose births are recorded in the records of the Meeting thus

In the same place it is also recorded that Petronella h 8 6 8 9t 1 7 . w . Paull, the ife of William , died , mo It may ’ from this be inferred that Joseph s step - mother had it become a Quakeress . From other records appears “ s er em aker 3 that William Paul, g obiit June ,

During the reign of Charles II of England , perse i cut on bore heavily upon the Quakers . They were con tinuously harass ed for their refusal to pay tithes or 1 0 FIRST GENERATIO N

for take the oath , or wearing their hats in Court , and especially for attendance upon meeting . All of these hardships they bore without resistance in assertion of their primary tenet of liberty of conscience , the full realization of which in our own times is in no small degree the result of the teachings and practice of ff c George Fox . Their sole, and ultimately e e tive weapon of defence against intolerance was found in i increasing protest , and appeal to the consc ence of the world . To this end an extraordinarily complete and detailed record of all their persecutions was kept with that methodical regularity characteristic of all the do ings of the Society of Friends . After the times of which w e are speaking there was compiled from these records the monumental work known as “ Besse ’s Col ” f has lection of the Su ferings , etc , to which reference already been made . 1 62 1 In this work (Vol . , p . ) and also in John Whit ’ “ ” e in ing s Persecution Exposed, is giv n some detail the account of the breaking into Ilminster Meeting on 2 8th 1 682 n a the of May, , by Henry Walro d , notorious 31 in persecutor of the Quakers . As a result friends , ” cluding “ Joseph Paull of Ilminster were by him ar fi rested and con ned in the common gaol at Ilchester , fif a some teen miles way . From the last mentioned work we further learn “ that the friends abovesaid from Ilminster and Stoke meetings were had to Bridgewater sessions in the 5th 1 682 or month following (July, ) and indicted f a riot by the said Henry Walrond, tried without a jury, and fi 6 8d s . ned . apiece and committed to gaol until pay ment ; where they remained until 1 2thmonth 1 683 and then they were released as hereafter in that year ” “ will appear ( Persecution Exposed in Some Mem ” 2 d 1 1 33 . 1 79 oirs by John Whiting, ed London, , pp . ,

This John Whiting was also imprisoned in the same gaol during part of the above mentioned interval . He also records the following of another prisoner in — JOSEPH PAU LL SERGEMA KER AND Q UAKER 1 1

“ the same gaol Edward Blinman, Sen . of Shepton r 2 9th 1 683 Mallet was brought to p ison the of October, 3s for not paying . for three Sundays absence from

so- Church ( called) by warrant from Francis Paulet , ” the persecuting Justice of Wells . This Edward Blin man of Shepton Mallet was a Clothier who on May 1 0 1 682 ta o , , had ob ined fr m William Penn, who was then making preparations to found his trans - Atlantic 1 000 t colony, a deed for Acres o be laid out in Penn Blendm an sylvania . Edward Blinman (or ) never came to Pennsylvania, but his town lots in Philadelphia wer e ’ a e m e and design t d by his name on Hol s map , his pur chase was subsequently made over to his fellow- pris oner Joseph Paull . John Whiting in addition to the book just men “ tioned , wrote another work called First Publishers ” of Truth which lay unpublished for over two hundred w as and years , when it edited by Norman Penney, by him 228 published (London , In this (page ) there “ is a list of those Friends in S omersetshire who not ” only received the truth but part of the Ministry . In “ this list , along with others who had an eminent testi mony ” is mentioned “ Joseph Paull of Ilminster who went to Pennsylvania . The imprisonments of the Quakers in these days

to were not always severe . It seems have rested in the discretion of the gaoler to release trustworthy prisoners

for d on parole ays at a time . This relieved him of the a expense of feeding his prisoners , and we ccordingly ﬁnd that several of the prisoners conﬁned in the Ilches ter gaol , including Joseph Paull, attended Quarterly Meeting at Marston Magnus 22 - 1 - 1 682 - 3 and at Streete

2 - 4- 1 6 1 83 . After his release from Ilchester gaol his various activities among Friends are of record . Minute Book N 1 o . of Ilchester Monthly Meeting has been preserved and gives a picture of the life of a Somersetshire

Quaker of this period . 1 2 FIRST GENERATION

73 e ac It seems that the Ilminster Register ( . . , the count of Quaker sufferings for conscience sake) had I d been badly kept. t was deman ed back from the local a “ fh Friends , and they were required to propose su ’ e R t r th e ci nt person to keep the egis e in e future . Th ir choice of Joseph Paull as such person w as approved by

e e 308 - 1 684 the Monthly Meeting at Ilch st r, . At the Monthly Meeting at Ilchester the last of the “ 2nd month 1 685 Joseph Paull giving an acc ount that himself and Francis Wilkins had visited Alex Key touching his disorderly walking as formerly mentioned, the he said that he would come to Monthly Meeting, t d and also o Frien s Meeting at Ilminster, or words to ” o r . that purpose and that he wned the t uth, etc

e ons for Emi r tin R as g a g.

’ -nm th e e ion M ou R b . o s ll We now come to the year 1 685 in which Joseph Paull transported himself and his family to P ennsyl vania and became a citizen of Philadelphia , and our inquiry naturally is why he did so . The influenc es d ffi mi which led to this step are not i cult to deter ne . The harassing persecution of his sect must be reckoned w t ith , but this alone does not account for wha occurred, for this persecution was markedly relaxed in 1 685 as soon as James II came to the throne . And among the leading Friends of Somersetshire it was considered an altogether unworthy action to flee to Pennsylvania , as e d some wer oing, merely to avoid the persecution which should be borne for conscience sake . T o o 1 682 h an ther friend who in October , , ad made up his mind to go to Pennsylvania , John Whiting writes a very pathetic plea :

O ? my ancient friend , why wilt thou leave us My heart is sad, n and ma y more to hear thereof . I did not think thou wouldest have n accepted of thy liberty upo any such account . Why wilt thou

o go away and leave a cl g behind thee, to follow after thee as a

burthen ? I know thou wast formerly very much against going to — JOSEPH PAU LL REASONS FOR EMIGRATING 1 3

New Jersey, and ready to discourage any that were inclined that way ; and how is it that thou art now so much for going to Pennsylvania

at this time ? N ot that I am against anyone going thither , so they

go clearly, but only at such a time as this , for anyone to go to shun

persecution , believing the blessing of God will not attend any such

therein ; whatever pretence any may make, peopl e will take it no

o f otherwise ; which will strengthen the hands the evildoers , and

weaken them that are faithful ; and therefore I could not be clear , but lay it before thee as my ancient loving friend ; and if thou goest

take this as my last farewell , if I see thee no more, who are thy

true and loving friend .

- From my prison house at Ilchester ' ' John WhItlng 1 f 1 682 the 3th o the 8th mo . l This attitude was one of the adverse influences ’ against which William Penn s enterprise had to con fi tend during its rst three years . Perhaps a further factor encouraging emi gration from Ilm inster at this time was the great distress into hi w ch the woolen trade in the West of England fell, 68 which reached its culmination in the year 1 5 . A year before this the grand jury of the County of Somerset made a presentment setting forth the “ daily sad and lamentable complaints of clothiers of the County of ” Somerset . But the altogether dominant event which suddenly changed the life of all the people of Somersetshire in the summer of 1 685 was the rebellion of the Protestant 1 1 m Duke of Monmouth, who on June landed at Ly e fi Regis , only fteen miles from Ilminster, and began his ill- judged and ill - starred attempt to wrest the throne

from his Catholic Uncle . Somerset was full of dissent

ers of various types , including extreme Protestants who nm hailed Mo outh as their champion against James , an “ open adherent of the Roman Church . King Mon ” him mouth , as they called , promised to sustain the Protestantism of the nation and grant complete toler

ance to all , including the Quakers . The peasants , arti sans and townspeople from all around ﬂocked to his

standard to the number of several thousand . For a month the whole region was in a ferment as the Duke and his adherents marched from town to town gather 1 4 FIRST GENERATIO N ing an ill- assorted and mostly unarmed and unorgan 1 7 “ ” iz ed company of followers . On June this army reached Ilminster and went into camp in a ﬁeld one half mile north of the town . Whatever may have been the temptation of the Quakers to j oin the insurgents , to do so was of course wholly in contravention of their A c fundamental tenet condemning armed resistance . r in l ﬁnd 1 8 co d g y we that the very next day (June , 1 685) the Quakers of Ilminster and of the neighbour t e hood met a Gregory Stoke , a few miles away, wh re “ they had a large meeting, and where was prepared A Testimony of Disownment ” against Friends j oining or abetting the army of the Duke . This testimony Joseph m Paull, with many others , signed, thus proclai ing his consistent adherence to Quaker principles .

The rebel army marched on to Taunton, Bridge 6 at water and other towns , until on July came the tempted night surprise and battle on the marshy plain of Sedgemoor . The rebels failed to surprise the royal troops and were decimated, crushed and routed . Great numbers were slain in battle or immediately after “ ’ wards slashed to pieces by the sabers of Kirke s ” ’ Lambs , as the King s cavalry were nicknamed . The rest of those who had marched with the Duke we re herded into the county gaols to await the coming of effre s Judge J y , most insolent and cruel of Judges . He arrived the following month with a Commission from the King to deliver the gaols of the Western Circuit by the conviction of the culprits who had been taken to 1 500 5 the number of over . On August he opened his Court and continued his sessions for about six weeks at

Dorchester , Taunton , Exeter and Wells . These pro ceedings will to the end of time carry the name of the “ ” Bloody Assizes . Nearly all of the prisoners were persuaded to plead guilty under a promise of clemency . “ e Thereupon about half of them wer hung, drawn and ” w quartered . For a month their ﬂesh as dangling from trees and poles around every village in the county . The rest were transported under sentence of — ’ JOSEPH PAU LL MONMOU TH s REBELLION 1 5 ten years penal servitude to the Islands of Barbadoes and Nevis , where they were compelled to labor as slaves under a tropical sun . Few survived very long . f The Paull amily was deeply involved . Nine pris oners of this name were convicted, six of whom were f executed . Four Paulls from Ilminster suf ered death , their names being Thomas Paull , John Paull, George

Paull , and William Paull, the son of John .

Of these , Thomas Paull , who pleaded guilty and was sentenced at Wells was the uncle of Joseph . He ’ “ was executed at Frome . In Locke s account of The Western Rebellion ” (page 7) it is recorded that “ - this Thomas Paull was a quaker , a wool comber who l 60 ived in Ilminster and upwards of years of age , and that he often declared that he had not been in the least concerned on either side ; but having been taken up on suspicion had imprudently pleaded guilty in hopes of being pardoned . It is said of him that just before he was executed, in a kind of prophetic spirit he foretold 688 ” A n the revolution of 1 exactly as it happened . other account of the execution of Thomas Paull of d Ilminster , giving many details , is foun in a letter of

- Joseph Burd (who was his fellow prisoner ) , which is published in the later editions of the “ Western Mar ” 5th 1 705 tyrology (see for example edition , London , , “ page Burd states that Thomas Paull was never under the least apprehension of suffering till the very day he was condemned (being uncle to a very great ’ C man s Chaplain at Court ) . The said haplain was his chief dependence and promised him a pardon by his

interest . Seeing how many persons , who at most had only sold food or supplies to the Duke or cared for the

wounded after the battle , were sent to the gallows by effre s J y , it may readily be believed that Thomas Paull the Quaker spoke the whole truth when he proclaimed

his innocence of any act of rebellion . It would be of great interest to know just what

Joseph Paull was doing during these days . He may have been pressing the Chaplain at Court to procure 1 6 FIRST GENERATION

the promised pardon for his uncle Thomas . Or he may have found it prudent to remain in seclusion for a time . v 2 9 1 685 We know , howe er, that on July , , more than he three weeks after the battle , was present , as was at his custom, at the Monthly Meeting of Friends

e . Ilchester . The proceedings wer much as usual It is noted in the records that “ the last monthly meeting at Taunton was neglected by reason of the late dis ”

rb n e . tu a c s there Two young carpenters , brothers o named Parsons , (wh se descendants still live in Phila ﬁ delphia) both of Middlezoy, the village near the eld of battle, had their proposals of marriage hastily “ approved, and were permitted to proceed therein, the said persons being concerned to transport themselves ” in h rt tim into the Province of Pennsylvania a s o e.

As a matter of fact , doubtless for prudential reasons , we ﬁnd that quite a number of Somerset people em barked at Bristol for Philadelphia during the weeks immediately succeeding the battle of Sedgemoor . The ties binding Joseph Paull to the town of his ancestors had suddenly snapped . His parents , includ cluding his stepmother , had died some time since . His collateral family had been ruined as the result of the he Rebellion . Perhaps felt that his own neck was not altogether secure , although his presence and actions at Friends meeting compel us to believe that he had not e taken an activ part in the Rebellion . At all events w e have little difﬁculty in picturing 1 0 1 685 why on September , , he secured a deed from his old friend Edward Blinman for a one - quarter interest in the latter ’s thousand acres in and made immediate preparations for a journey across the ocean . It did not take him long to convert his chattels into cash and wind up his affairs in Ilminster . A ’ day s journey brought him and his family to Bristol , w here doubtless accompanied by friends and acquaint e all for e h t anc s bound P nnsylvania e set sail . By wha

The last mentioned record of Joseph Paull , which

is the earliest on this side of the Atlantic , occurs in the ﬁ records of Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting, rst day,

- f ﬁ 1 685 6. rst month , A strong e fort was then in prog ress to complete the “ Great Meeting House ” then “ l being erected in the Center Square , being the midd e way betwixt the Delaware River and Schuylkill River ”

(the square where the Public Buildings now stand) . This meeting house was of brick 50 feet long and 36

feet wide . William Penn was pleased freely to con tribute towards the said building 2 000 feet of boards 3000 and cedar shingles , as also the stone already dug ” “ up at the quarry . The timber work Andrew Gris ff com o ers himself to the meeting to do , and William ” Preston the mason and bricklayers work . But the

subscriptions lagged and the work was backward . On “ ﬁ 1 686 : March rst , , the record proceeds The business

of the meeting in the center being again spoken about , and there appearing a necessity for the getting up the

roof to secure the walls , the following friends at the request of the meeting are willing to lend the sums

under written to carry on the said work , viz

William Bow lding Christor Taylor Robert Turner Grifﬁth Jones

and the following friends will give the sums mentioned with their names , viz John Bevin Joseph Paull John Jones Richard Whitﬁeld

This subscription of Joseph Paull was paid to Thomas 6 th l0th 1 686. Duckett , Treasurer of the meeting, , mo . It was doubtless his thankoffering for his safe arrival with his wife and children after the perils of Judge effre s l J y and of the stormy voyage across the At antic . — JOSEPH PAULL RESIDENT OF OXFORD 1 9

Arriving as he did with the winter coming on he and his family must have lodged for a time in the city while making arrangements to take up his land and build his home . Perhaps he stayed at the Pewter Plat ter on Front Street , then owned by Robert Adams , from whom at this time he purchased his land . For although possessed of a deed entitling him to 2 50 acres of Ed ’ w Blinm an s ard land, he did not at once proceed to have this allotted to him . It was as yet unlocated, and by this time all the available land within a dozen miles or so of the city was taken up . He must therefore either t live in the ci y on the town lot to which he was entitled, or remove far away into unsettled land not as yet pur chased from the Indians , or buy land from those who had taken up their rights at an earlier date nearer the city . He chose the latter alternative . A little way up Frankford Creek it is joined by what is called Little

Tacony Creek . Both are now little more than drainage canals , foul and unsavory . Then they were beautiful streams running clear through the primeval forest with occasional stretches of meadow land . Between these creeks the land had been taken up on warrants issued to purchasers from William Penn who had ar 1 82 e the rived in Pennsylvania in 6 . The sk tch on fol ’ low ing page shows how the surveys appear on Holme s

This land formed the lower part of what was then known as Oxford Township , Philadelphia County . It became part of the City of Philadelphia at the time of

o 1 854 the C nsolidation in , and now forms part of the

35thward of the city . The Borough of Frankford was located on the Waddy tract and the Fairman tract. At the time of which we are speaking Henry

Waddy, an early settler , was clearing his farm land of 302 acres and had built his log dwelling house and his barn and sheds . The only road in the neighborhood was the dirt road following the old Indian trail up the ” river and known as the “ King ’s way from P hiladel 20 FIRST GENERATION

phia to the Falls of the Delaware . The little creeks t which it crossed were not bridged as yet, but mus be r d forded by the traveller . Where the oa crossed Frank ford Creek there was anisland resulting in a shoal ford . This road ran near the lower line of the tract of Henry

p . A little nearer the mouth of the creek lived some Taoconin w Swedes owning g To nship, a very unhealthy low lying tract over which the Atlantic City trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad now run on their way from

Frankford Junction to the Delaware River Bridge . The Swedes had built a saw mill there before the com ing l of Penn which was called Frankford Mi l . ’ Just north of Henry Waddy s land was a larger tract of 495 acres owned by the Robert Adams who kept the Pewter Platter Inn in the city . The portion nearest nk l Fra ford Creek he would keep for himse f, but the

It was far enough from the Delaware River to be free from the malaria which racked the settlers and who occupied the lower lands , yet near enough to the river to render comparatively easy transportation to the city which at that time was mostly by water craft plying along Frankford Creek and the Delaware River . The homestead thus established on the west bank of the creek remained in the family for three genera tions until just before the Revolutionary War . The elder Joseph Paull added 1 50 acres to it by later pur chases and his son Joseph added 200 acres more .

The settlers must have spent much of their time in carrying e on real estate transactions , obtaining th ir surveys and warrants , and perfecting their titles at the Land fﬁ O ce . The ﬁrst of thes e transactions is evidenced by a deed dated November by which Richard Busby, 1 00 in consideration of conveyed to Joseph Paull, acres of (unsurveyed) land in Dublin Township . 2 (Book E , p .

This purchase was completed by the is s uanc e of a patent 4 h to Joseph Paul dated t mo . 8, 1 703 .

In those days Dublin Township was a long strip of land on both sides of the Pennypack (which was at ﬁ 1 700 rst named Dublin River) . It was in divided into

Upper Dublin, Abington (called for a few years Hill town) , and Lower Dublin Townships , of which the two former are now in Montgomery County, while the latter is part of the City of Philadelphia . ’ ’ On Holme s m ap is Shown Robert Fairman s grant

in Dublin Township , covering what is now Fox Chase . The 1 1 6 acres thus purchased w as the southernmost part of the tract bordering on the shoulder which

Cheltenham Township there makes with the City Line . This tract in the division of his lands in 1 71 0 fell to his

son John .

4 1 698 His next purchase was made March , , and is shown by a deed of that date from “ Samuel Allen of

Philadelphia , Cordwainer, to Joseph Paull of the City ’ of Philadelphia , Yeoman .

gave it in 1 71 0 to his youngest son James .

In tracing the purchases thus far described, no reference has been made to the outcome of his original 28 FIRST GENERATION

purchase from Edward Blinman . It must now be ex plained what became of this . Purchasers of one thousand acres of land in Penn sylvania were entitled to claim in addition thereto two city lots and sixteen acres of Liberty land . These latter were laid out in Northern Liberties and were in lieu of the liberty of pasturage there originally contemplated . 26 1 686 On October , , Joseph Paul recorded his

nm - 2 1 C . on deed from Edward Bli an (Bk . , p ) and November 2 2 following obtained in regular course a warrant for a survey of the 250 acres therein called 1 688 t o . 7 for in Bucks County On January , , he sold

- - £2 0 0. Robert Turner of Philadelphia, Merchant , for the four acres of City Liberty lands to which he was entitled “ proportionable to Joseph Paull ’s 2 50 acres ” purchased from Blinman . In the meantime he had been in correspondence with Blinman looking towards the purchase of the bal ’ 0 ance of the latter s 1 00 acres . By securing this he ’ would obtain the two choice town lots which on Holme s “ ” City Plan stand in the name of E dward Blardham . 2 3 These are lot No . running from Front to Second

Street , one lot south of High (Market ) Street ; and lot 71 No . at the northwest corner of Seventh and High n Streets . He found that Bli man had already conveyed (probably without receiving the consideration) 250 c 2 50 t o acres to Thos . Di kerson, and acres Nathaniel nm Bryan . But Bli an made an endorsement on his h counterpart of t e original Deed of Lease and Releas e, e 2 3 1 688 under dat of January , , undertaking to convey

2 - 0- 0 1 £1 . e 000 to Joseph Paul for the whol of his acres . At the same time he secured an instrument from Na thaniel Bryan transferring his right to 2 50 acres to Joseph Paull ; but the remaining one - fourth interest outstanding in Thom as Dickerson he apparently could not secure . This Thomas Dickerson was a subscribing w i tness to the original deed from Blinman to Paull . A C “ tract in Bucks ounty bears the name of Thos . Dick ” ’ e on rson Holme s map . Consequently Joseph Paull — JOSEPH PAULL LAND OWNER AND YEOMAN 29 was never able to obtain legal title to but 750 acres of 1 000 nm the acres which Bli an sold him . Apparently the warrant of 1 686 had not been exe o on 3 1 688 uted, for May , , he secured another warrant for 246 acres in Bucks County to which he secured title .

acres of Liberty land, and another for a city lot . The ﬁ 1 rst thing to be secured was the city lot . On March , 1 690 m “ , the Com issioners ordered that Joseph Paul ” have his lott laid out on the front where it fell . But there was further delay and he did not get his patent

He ultimately gave it to his son Henry . Why there was this long delay in perfecting his titles can only be surmised . Perhaps he had no imme diate use for the land and preferred to hold his rights O in as an investment . Perhaps he was h p g to acquir e he he the outstanding Dickerson title . In the end got t 750 acres of land (with the Liberty lots ) to which he was clearly entitled ; and both town lots to which , although equitably belonging to him , his legal title was not so clear .

Throughout his life Joseph Paull was , with one c So enforced intermission, actively onnected with the ciet y of Friends , chieﬂy as a member of Oxford Meet hi ing, then connected with P ladelphia Quarterly

Meeting . From the minutes of these two meetings much information is to be obtained concerning him and his his his wife Margaret , as well as of children , friends and his neighbours . He was a delegate from Oxford Meeting to Phila delphia Quarterly Meeting on the following dates :

6 1 686 7 6 June 7 and December , ; March , June , 3 5 1 68 2 5 1 691 September and December , 7 May , ; 2 7 1 693 2 5 1 695 31 February , ; November , ; August , 6 6 2 2 30 1 6917 2 1 00 1 9 ; Febr uary and August , May 7 7 ; 31 1 02 30 1 03 7 7 . August , ; August , 26 1 686 On October , , he signs as a witness the marriage certiﬁcate of Thomas Kimber and Elizabeth “ Chalkley at the public meeting house in Oxford ” hi ﬁ Township . T s was the rst wedding at the new meeting house , not yet entirely completed . It was on Tacony Creek not very far from the house of Joseph e Paull . Up to this tim the meeting had been held here and there at different houses of the members , and often at the house of John Hart , who afterwards , with

Kei hi n. a majority of the meeting , became t a John Hart established near his house a burying ground m where all the early interments of the Paull fa ily, including the father , were made . At the time of this wedding the Oxford Meeting had worked hard to complete their little meeting house , doubtless built of logs . Six weeks later when the Phil adelphia Meeting (to which Joseph Paull was a dele ﬁ i h gate ) , was again urging all to subscribe towards n s “ ” ing the great meeting house in the center, it is noted

34 FIRST GENERATION

The Pennypack was at this time called “ Dublin Creek ” and had given its name to the large township in which it lay . Just at this time the Oxford Meet ing (which embraced also Friends from the ad j oining Dublin Township ) was often called Dublin m Meeting, as we may learn from an entry ( Septe ber “ 3 1 687 Ox ord , ) which reads Friends from f alias — Dublin Meeting Jos . Paull , Henry Waddy, Richard Waln The next entry of interest occurs in the record of 5t 1 t Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting h s mo . “ z 5 1 688 : e ( March , ) as follows A pap r being di rected from the Meeting of Public friends held at Bur lingtou to this Quarterly Meeting concerning the m is carriage of Joseph Paull was this day read in order to have its service . “ This miscarriage was some misbehavior at yearly meeting which was then held at Burlington .

More than this cannot now be determined . The orig t inal paper has disappeared , nor is there any hing on the records of Burlington Meeting to throw light on the subject . At all events for nearly two years the name of Joseph Paull , hitherto so frequently occur ring, disappears from the minutes of the Oxford Meet

Ing. di His wife Margaret continued in good stan ng, but she signs alone as witness to the wedding of John “ Worrell and Judith Dungw orth at the public meet ” 4 1 689 ing house in Oxford township on June , . Again 4 1 689 she signs alone November , , when James Pratt married Mary Brodw ell at the house of Richard Waln in Cheltenham Township . But the ostracism which In a Quaker community followed loss of standing in meeting could not be long 2 1 690 . 7 endured On January , , at Oxford Meeting, “ Joseph Paull gave in a paper of condem nation con ” cerning his misbehavior in public meeting . This closed the matter . He was reinstated to his former — JOSEPH PAULL IN ASSEMBLY AND MEETING 35 position and entrusted by the meeting with responsi le b commissions , and so continued during his active life . During the interval of his suspension from meet ing was born John, his fourth child and third son . One of his near neighbours to whom frequent ref ilm erton d u h erence is made was Atwell W , whose a g ﬁ ter Joan later became the rst wife of James , the 2 8th 1 690 “ youngest son . On April , , Joseph Paul and William Preston is ordered to go and discourse Attwell to see and ﬁnd as much as in them lyethwhat condition he is in truthw ard and make report ye next ” meeting . But no report is mentioned on the m in utes of the next meeting . Another neighbour Thomas Livezey of Dublin

William Preston . By it granddaughter Mary Paul is “ ” given one great chest . ﬁ 1 4 James , the fth and last child, was born June ,

The year 1 692 must have invorved for Quakers living in Oxford Township much excited controversy over the questions raised by the Keithian separation . In the Oxford Meeting a large number of prominent h Friends were Keit ian. So large a number of the Upper township (Dublin) went over to George Keith that the Byberry meeting house itself became the property of the separatists , and ultimately became the Ox site of Trinity Church, Oxford . The minutes of ford Monthly Meeting record the reading of many papers from other meetings condemning “ George ” Keith and his separate company . This continued throughout the year . A number of the friends and neighbours of Joseph Paull went over to George Keith, but he himself remained in good standing with his meeting . 36 FIRST GENERA TION

It seems that the little meeting house for Oxford Meeting had been hastily erected on land owned by Thomas Fairman with his full permission and doubt less w ith the understanding that he was to deed the land on which the meeting stood to the Quakers at the 1 6 proper time . In 88 they made an effort to get from w him a deed of gift , but ithout success . The aﬂair of George Keith must have taught them a lesson .

Creek while the surrounding forest was still unbroken .

There was hard work for four boys kept busy clearing, fencing and tilling the ground, as well as full compensa ﬁ tion in swimming and shing in the summer , shooting in the fall , and skating in the winter . 1 71 0 re In , when he was eighteen years old, he ceived from his father a deed for 500 acres in Abing

Seven months later she died leaving him a child

Ann Jones , the daughter of Robert and Ellin

- 1 4—1 02 Jones of Merion , was born 7 7 and she was there fore ten years younger than her husband . Her father,

Robert Jones , was the son of John Thomas , a much respected Quaker of Merionethshire , Wales , who bought a 1 000- acre share of the Welsh tract in Penn sylvania , and made his preparations to emigrate with his family . He died before embarkation , but his w nd wido Katherine Thomas , a her seven children (Robert being only a boy) held to the plans and sailed 1 683. from Chester in September , Two of the younger children died on the voyage . The rest of the family arrived safely, took up their land in Merion Township , not far west of what is now City Line , and were the worthy progenitors of the numerous Jones family of that Township . Robert Jones became a Justice of the Peace and a member of the Provincial Assembly . He lived until 1 4 7 6. Detailed and interesting accounts of John ap Thomas and his family may be found in Glenn ’s ” ’ “ Merion in the Welsh Tract ; Browning s Welsh ’ Levick Settlement of Pennsylvania , and Mr . s ar ticl 4 es . in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History, Vol , “ ” “ entitled John ap Thomas and his Friends and An ” ’ “ Old Welsh Pedigree . Glenn s Welsh Founders of ” 1 Pennsylvania should also be consulted, Vol . , pp . 1 8 40 2 20 3 . , , , etc m At or before his second arriage , James Paull resided on his farm, in Abington Township and there he remained all his life . This was a rectangular tract occupying the Huntingdon Valley running from Sus quehanna Street Road (now Susquehanna Avenue ) to the Moreland Township Line and lying between Huntingdon Road on the north and Washington Lane on the south . His homestead was near the eastern corner of this tract on ground now owned by the

Huntingdon Valley Country Club, from whence his chief line of communication with the city was via the old Welsh Road to Bustleton and the river . JAMES PAULL 47

f Six Here his wi e , Ann, bore him children,

Susanna , Margaret, Robert, John , Ann and Jacob , all i 3 . d of whom grew up and married She ed February , 1 40 7 , leaving him the second time a widower .

His third wife was Sarah Morris , a daughter of “ his neighbor , Morris Morris , who lived at Hope ” Lodge . They passed Abington Meeting September 2 1 4 6 3 . , 7 Her only child was a daughter , Hannah, born 3 1 44 October , 7 . A tax list dated 1 734 shows James Paull to be at that time the largest individual landowner in — - in law Abington Township , with his future father , s 400 Morris Morri , coming next with acres . He never parted with any of this land except for a gift during his lifetime of the westernmost portion of it to his son, n Joh .

- in- By the will of his father law, Robert Jones , in 1 46 500 7 , acres of land in Goshen, Chester County,

Jr. had been devised to Robert Jones , , and James

Paul in equal shares . The latter share was evidently a part of the dowry which came with Ann Jones to 1 5th 1 59 her husband . Under date of May , 7 , a written

r. agreement was made between Robert Jones , J , and e et e James Paull , for the division of this as y t uns tl d land . This agreement with a good signature of James e e Paull, and a good impression of his seal , is pr serv d in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, with the 1 4 Gratz papers (Case , Box

In addition to cultivating his farm, James Paull “ was owner of one - fourth of a forge called Spruce Forge with a track of land thereunto belonging being and situate in Abington containing upward of 1 6 acres with the implements for making bar iron . This M h om acVau included a tract purchased fMr Mary g , Walter Moore and Edm und acVaugh in which he possessed an interest . Doubtless this forge company worked the iron ore obtained from the ore pits near

Edge Hill, and supplied the neighborhood with horse shoes , tires , hinges , bolts and nails . 48 SECOND GENERATION

He was further the owner of a one - half interest in a grist mill in upper Dublin and Whitemarsh Town

hi - in- law s . ship , managed by son Jacob Edge A further interest was his acquisition in 1 749 from

- e in Walter Moreland, miller , of a one eighth shar a grist mill “ with two pair of stones and a bolting mill thereunto belonging under one roof, together with

acres of land situate in Abington, commonly ’ ” H known as Fletcher s Mills . e purchased another one - eighth share in these mills in 1 751 from Joshua “ ” Morris . These mills , also called Abington Mills , were near the Pennypack further down the creek which e started in his own tract . This purchas was evidently ﬁ for the bene t of his son, Robert , to whom he gave his share in the mills in 1 758 (Book I- 8 Robert m i was a ller operating these mills for many years . After his father ’s death he bought the remaining three ’ of fourths interest, thus becoming sole owner the property (D - 7 The assessment list for Abington Township of 1 780 includes Robert Paull , miller , acres , grist mill, three horses and four cows . Later Robert sold these mills to John Hallowell and moved to the city where he lived a much respected “ old Quaker , described by Watson, the annalist , as an ancient friend still going to Pine Street Meeting . I him h 90 saw and talked with when e was past years .

6 1 824 ni - He died March , , aged nety six . The portion of the farm which James Paull gave ’ his 1 54 to son John just after the latter s marriage in 7 , amounted to 1 50 acres on the southwestern side front ing on the Susquehanna Street Road . the The rest of property, including the homestead (excepting ﬁfty acres more given later to John) was devised by his will to the youngest son, Jacob , charged the with residence and care of his stepmother . We “ ﬁnd the 1 80 in Abington assessment of 7 , Jacob Paull 288 acres , seven horses , seven cows , two negros, one ” chair . The Quakers always frowned upon the pos

The reference in this adm irable obituary to his studious promptitude is conﬁrmed by a reading of his di last will, which is printed in full as Appen x C , a model of careful exactitude . He has evidently taken the utmost pains to make a scrupulously fair division b of his considera le property.

22 1 1 o 3 . John Paul of Abingt n was born June , 7 Was ff He a very di erent sort of man from his father . Although reared on a farm by Quaker parents he cared neither for farming, nor for Meeting . The Old York Road had been cut through the forest reach ing the Delaware River at Coryell ’s Ferry (Lambert the ville ) . Over this road stages were beginning to run to New York City, a quicker trip than the old way m rd the via Burlington and A boy. By ha traveling ’ j ourney might be made in a day . John Paul s interests — lay in transportation, the horses , the stages and the the inns . From his home he could see stages going by,

and the call of the road took him away from his farm . Thus was this branch of the Paul family led to make

their home in the city of Philadelphia, where they have

remained until the present generation .

In one thing John Paul imitated his father . He

went to Merion Meeting to get a wife, Sidney Roberts ;

and an admirable wife she proved to be . On 25- 3- 1 754 Abington Meeting records that John Paul requests a certiﬁcate to Haverford in order to

marriage . After due enquiry this was granted the fol w lo ing month .

The e 1 3- 5- 1 754 marriag took place , when according to the records of Radnor Monthly Meeting there were “ joined in marriage at Merion Meeting House : John

Paul, son of James Paul of Abington , Yeoman , and b Sidney Roberts , daughter of Ro ert Roberts of Mer ” ’

and stepmother, his two brothers , his half sister , Han

John Roberts ’ ancestry is fully set forth in Glenn ’s “ Mer ” ’ 98- 1 1 0 dn ﬁ ion, pages . Si ey Roberts certi cate of removal from Merion Meeting to Abington Meeting is

2 - 9- 54 dated 1 1 7 . Immediately after the marriage his father con 1 “ veyed to him (December , in consideration of ” ff e 1 50 natural love and a ection, the southw stern end ( i hi acres ) of hs farm . T s had a long frontage on Sus uehanna enkintow n q Street Road, not far from where J a now stands , one corner touching the present Re ding

Railroad to New York at Rydal station . Here John hi w ea e e Paul and s wife lived for t elve y rs , and h r e wer born to them a numerous family, as recorded in

the records of Abington Meeting . This home was near enough to the Old York Road to be a convenient place o h e b t for the pasturage and br eding of horses , suitable

for use to operate the stages . His wife continued all her life in active association hn ’ a with the Meeting, but Jo Paul s name does not p pear in the records of Abington Meeting after the date i 1 6 of his marr age , until in 7 7, when the Meeting dis ed own him . “ hn Until this time he was Jo Paul, Jr . of Abing hi ” ton Towns p , Yeoman , his cousin old John Paul of ” “ ” b e By erry being John Paul , Sr .

tracts of land at Willow Grove in Moreland Township , 1 02 aggregating acres , and including the old Wagon

Inn . This move brought him more directly in con the i tact with stage route . The stages at that t me di started from the In an King, generally known as “ ’ ” e th i John Biddle s Hous , e oldest hostelry n hi e the Mr P ladelphia, situat d on south side of High ( a JOHN PAUL 53

i ﬁ ket) Street below Th rd . The rst regular stop was “ ” h “ at Rising Sun, and the next at t e sign of The ” Wagon, a large inn situated on the point of land at Willow Grove between the Easton Road (originally the

Governors Road) and the Old York Road . Here the horses were changed and the travel-ers secured refresh ment . This place was later known during the Revolu “ ” tion as the Red Lion, kept by Joseph Butler . And, so John Paul became innkeeper and stage coach man e ager . His inn was a large one . An advertis ment in relation to it in 1 768 states

al The stables will contain nearly 1 0 0 horses . The house is ’ lowed to be the best between the Rising Sun and Coryell s Ferry, ” with three roads passing by . n Joh Paul , putting money into horses and stages , remained at Willow Grove for several years . Although hi t s is in Moreland Township , he still maintained some 1 773 connection with Abington Township , for in he and Evan Roberts were Overseers of Highways for that township .

Less than a year after this convivial evening, Dr . hn Smith (Provost of the college ) , Jo Lukens (Sur

John Biddle ’s place was the sign of the Indian u King, and as John Paul Shortly s cceeded to the man

a em ent e . g of it, it must be her described It fronted on Market Street at what was then “ Biddle ’s Alley ” (now

Bodine Street ) , running back to Elbow Lane , and by this alley access was had to the large interior court of e yard the place . A partial pictur of the front of the ’ inn may be seen in one of Birch s views of P hiladel ’ phia . On the opposite side of Biddle s Alley was the Corinthian portico of the Old First Presbyterian e Church, and in the middle of the stre t was the long e market house , which occupied High Stre t from Second to Third . This was a hostelry of great repute in its ’ e time . For many years Benjamin Franklin s Junto us d it as their club house and here held their weekly meet ings . It was the meeting place for the Masonic Lodges , and from this point started the stages , not only for the Old York Road but for the western j ourney on the Lan caster Pike . We get a glimpse of the life at the Indian King before the Revolution from the diary of Daniel Fisher 1 7 as published in the Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol . , 2 63 page .

“ 2 1 I arrived at Philadelphia in the afternoon o f May 2 , 755, the

roth on e day hors back from Williamsburg , Va . I put up at the ‘ ’ Indian King , in the Market Street , kept by one Mr . John Biddle, a

n o very civil courteous Quaker . This person and his wife , not o e j t in r behind him rational benevolence , o what may be very properly

o n esteemed true politeness , conﬁrmed in me the favorable pi ion I f had long entertained o their peaceabl e, inoffensive Society . For ’ tho this hous e is one of the greatest business in its way in the whole

city , yet everything is transacted with the utmost regularity and h decorum . T ere is a regular ordinary every Day , o f the very best

1 2 d provisions and well dressed , at a head , that is eight pence

sterling , the best of liquors proportionately moderate ; and the best

. l use taken of horses Yet there is one , o d custom attends this ’ house , which tho agreeable to me , may not perhaps be so to all

People . For whom remains here after Eleven o f the Clock in the an an Evening is very civilly acquainted with the time by a serv t . d

that after that hour , it is the invariable custom o f the House to

serve no more liquor that night to any Body , and this Custom I

am told never is infringed . And this I think is a true specimen of ” of what every House entertainment should be . JOHN PAUL 55

Another reference to this hostelry is found in Wat son ’s Annals “The Indian King in High Street near Third was the oldest

“

Inn in the City , and was in numerous years the most respected ;

when kept by Mr . Biddle it was indeed a famous house .

Prior to this it had been kept by Owen Owens (whose daughter Sarah married John Biddle ) and earlier still by Peter and Jonathan Robeson . It remained an inn 1 831 until , when it was sold for and removed to make room for the large iron store buildings which now occupy the site . Only the old Revolutionary corner 905 cannon still remains . (This was written in 1 . The cannon has since gone . H . N . P . ) John Biddle retired from business Shortly before the outbreak of the Revolution . His sons Clement Bid dle and Owen Biddle both became Revolutionary ofﬁ cers and could no longer help with the inn, but the latter as Commissary General of Forage was in charge of the ’ supply of grain and horses for Washington s army .

The stage was put out of business by the war . Accord ingly the lease of the Indian King was taken over by

John Paul . Precisely when he removed to this place is not clear, for the records in Revolutionary days were e not so carefully kept . Ther is some evidence that for a year or two he resided at Rising Sun in Northern e a Lib rties , but he was in charge of the Indi n King the during the British occupancy of city, and doubtless some of the British officers were billeted upon the house . He was incapacitated from business by illness e e the e during the latt r y ars of his life , and burd n of managing the Indian King fell upon Sidney Paul with the assistance of her large family just growing to man hood and womanhood . Here John Paul died . He was buried in the burial ground of the Phila . Monthly Meet e ing, No . Dist . The r cord reads

4 3 2 1 1 7 ES E ( ) THOMAS PAUL (JOHN , JAM , JOS PH )

of Belvidere, New Jersey .

6 1 60 Born October , 7 , Thomas Paul was old enough at the outbreak of the Revolution to have e b watch d, and held in remem rance through life the stirring war drama , as it was enacted in Philadelphia and the surrounding parts ; and yet not quite O ld enough to have had the opportunity for much active service for the American cause . The eldest son of his mother, on whom had fallen the burden of the sup of port the family, not merely his Quaker upbringing but more practical considerations conspired to keep oc him at home as a bread winner . But the British cupancy of Philadelphia certainly supplied much strange information and new contacts for the two boys who lived at the Indian King ; and when this occupancy came to an end Thomas was not long in showing his ﬂ 1 9 desire to take some real part in the con ict . In 77 he enlisted in Captain Robert Mullin ’s Company of hi the Marines . During t s year and until end of the war, there was much petty warfare on the Delaware “ ” River and Bay, as the result of picarooning by Tory ﬁ boats . All sorts of small craft were tted out by the Government of the State of Pennsylvania to suppress these operations in aid of the enemy, and no doubt Thomas Paul had an opportunity to take some part in these contests . After the peace he was from 1 784- 1 786 a member ’ of Captain Derrick Peterson s Battery of P hiladel 1 87 phia City Artillery, and in 7 he joined Captain ’ b- - in—law John Morrell s Battery, of which his rother

Cornelius Comegys was also a member . Throughout his life he was addressed as “ Major Thomas Paul ” presumably because of a commission in the militia . Strange to say these semi- military activities did not bring about any severance of his connection with Meet 60 F OURTH GENERATION

hi in ing w ch continued, at least nominally, without terruption to the end of his life.

During the closing years of the war , and for a ﬁn him in at time thereafter, w e d business the Indian

King with Cornelius Comegys , trading as Comegys

hi - in- A t Paul, and later , when s brother law Joseph kinson had been taken in as a partner, as Comegys , m Paul Company, engaged in a general com ission business with a warehouse on Water Street . The Revolutionary War brought into his life other r at interesting inﬂuences . On the old Lancaste Road, now th what is Ithan, was e Sorrel Horse Inn (now the M n residence of the cFadde family) kept by a well

- n Stadlem an to do i nkeeper , Michael , who had married n e . Sally Wynn, a d scendant of Dr Thomas Wy n, and tw o l e i e had smal childr n, W lliam and Betsey Stadl

. e e man The war int rfered with th ir business , and in 1 777 Michael and his wife died within a few weeks e of each other . The orphan childr n were entrusted e e to the car of their cousin Alg rnon Roberts , as hi guardian, who put the little girl in charge of s aunt , Sidney Paul, at the Indian King . Here she grew up , and as might have been expected, in time e e b came the wif of Thomas Paul , having been married 1 9 1 84 to him on February , 7 , at Old Swedes Church .

She was a small woman of great strength of character , ' h markedly evidencing her Welsh ancestry, and muc beloved by all her friends and neighbors to the end of her long life . Other contacts at the Indian King may be inferred from the names which Thomas and Betsey Paul gave to their sons . The eldest was named Comegys , after his brother - in- law and partner ; the other two sons e wer named John Marshall and Theodore Sedgwick . w 1 780 re We kno that John Marshall , in the fall of , sided at an in in Philadelphia for two months in seeking inoculation against the smallpox, and we know that Theodore Sedgwick of Massachusetts was hi e in Philadelp a during the Constitutional Conv ntion, THOMAS P AUL 61 and later as a member of the First Congress of the

United State s . Both of these men were strong Fed eralists , and if they lodged at the Indian King a good reason would be supplied to explain why these names have been thus perpetuated in our family .

The business of Comegys , Paul Company en countered difﬁculties as the result of the fall in value the of continental currency after the end of the war .

Many merchants lost all that they possessed . Accord in l 1 8 g y, in 7 7, Thomas Paul wound up his business in hi Philadelp a and moved his home up the river . For m a ti e he lived in Flemington, New Jersey . While there he brought a certiﬁcate from the Philadelphia hl Mont y Meeting to Kingwood, New Jersey, Monthly

- - 8 5 1 88. Meeting, dated 7 Flemington was the home e of Joseph Atkinson, and whil there business was car e ried on under the nam of Atkinson, Paul Company, but in the spring of 1 790 he moved further up the river e to what was th n Oxford Township , Sussex County, N ew h Jersey, a tract which later became t e town of

Belvidere , Warren County, New Jersey. His father had been acquainted with Major Robert ni e Revolu Hoops , a Virgi an, who had som part in the e tion and who, wh n the war was over, purchased a large tract of land on the Delaware River and there t buil his home . He and his wife Martha are buried in the old graveyard of the Oxford Presbyterian m in ﬁ fﬁ Church . Beco g involved in nancial di culties hi about the time Thomas Paul reached t s locality, his

land was purchased by Thomas Paul, and so became the homestead of this branch of the family for three hi generations . T s residence , the framework of which i t is still stand ng, is just north of the Peques Creek, about one - quarter mile from its reaching the Delaware

River . Here Robert Hoops had commenced, and

Thomas Paul, and later his widow, carried on the real estate business involved in disposing of the town lots which now constitute the northern half of the town of hi Belvidere. Although in great dilapidation, t s home 62 FOURTH GENERATION stead may yet be seen behind the stor e of the Widener Brothers at the corner of Market and Water Streets — , 1 . 930 H . Belvidere . (It was demolished in . N . P ) During the ﬁrst year after Thomas Paul brought e e his family to Belvid re , his r sidence was in a stone house (L om erson house ) about one mile farther down the river, but during the succeeding ten years , and until O ld his death, Thomas Paul resided in the Paul house e just spok n of . During these years there were con tinuous business transactions between him and his brother James , living in Philadelphia, and a constant intercourse between the grow ing families of thes e brothers . The Philadelphia family spent much of their e summ rs in Belvidere, and the Belvidere family in win hi ter visited their Philadelp a cousins . When Sidney Paul and her children were carried 1 793 off by the yellow fever in , both the Rakestraw fam the mi ily and Ranten fa ly became full orphans . Thomas

Paul took his two young nieces , Patty and Sidney Rake straw, and one of the Ranten boys to live with him at e e B lvidere . From his hous both the Rakestraw girls were married not many years later to two brothers N ew named Forman of Milford , Jersey . In addition to ﬁve w the children who gre up , married and left issue there were three sons who died in infancy, one of them named William Henry having been bitten by a mad dog ﬁ that chased the little boy into the kitchen replace . He e died of hydrophobia a few days later . Ther was much intercourse between this Philadelphia family and the Robeson family living in the old Robeson house at r Oxfo d Furnace , as well as with a large community of neighbors , for during the period in question numbers of hom es eekers were moving up the river to this new and rapidly developing country . Thomas Paul owned a number of slaves whom he purchased from Robert Hoops along with the property.

They lived in a small building to the rear of his house, are the foundations of which still visible . He gave manumission papers to these slaves , but they returned THOMAS PAUL 63

the papers to him and continued to serve him, and later his widow, for some small wage . In the early fall of 1 802 Thomas Paul visited Phil e adelphia and ther contracted yellow fever . Returning 22 802 1 . to Belvidere , he died at his home September ,

The undertaker who was called in was a mason . He cut off t the queue and put it in his pocke . When he found it there the next day he was building the wall of a house on the river road south of Belvidere . Thereupon he immediately embedded the queue in the mortar of the wall , and my grandfather , as we drove down this road , often pointed out to me the place in the wall where he ’ said he could still see the end of his father s queue . e Thomas Paul was a dark, handsom man , rather tall and of great courtesy and sociability, somewhat careless in ﬁnancial affairs (at least so his brother

James thought ) , but highly esteemed by all who knew him . A silhouette is the only likeness of him which has survived . ’ During the later years of his life , Thomas Paul s f e n e business a fairs had b en managed by John Ki n y,

r. . J , of Belvidere , who later married Rebecca Rodman i n e w . After his death his widow, th the assista c of Mr

Kinney, then Judge of the County Court, continued the business of her late husband, managing his farm and e real estate inter sts , and educating her children, of e e which the ldest , Comegys , was at Princeton Colleg when his father died . Although Thomas Paul retained his membership be in Quaker Meeting to the end of his life, his wife e came a member of the Oxford, New J rsey, Presby

. terian Church, and brought up her family in this faith The children were not baptized until as boys and girls they were taken one Sunday morning to this church by O ld their mother to receive the rite . The Oxford

Church , on the north side of the road, long since pulled

- down , had an old fashioned high pulpit with stairs reaching up to it on either side , and the story has come down to us that when the clergyman descended the 64 F OURTH GENERATION

stairs on one side to adm inister baptism to the family the before him, the children resisted the application of the e w ater and ran up the steps on other sid , and behind n endeav the pulpit, and dow again, with the clergyman e oring to k ep pace , all more to the amusement than the diﬁ ation e c of the congregation . Elizabeth Paul died at the old Paul home on De cem ber 1 1 1 828 , , and was buried alongside of her hus h band . The graves may be seen in the Oxford Churc graveyard on the hill road from Belvidere to Oxford,

about two and a half miles back from the river . In the rear of the present church are the two large tombs with these inscriptions

Philadelphia , Merchant .

H e e 23 1 770 was born Dec mber , , the youngest child of a large family, and brought up by his mother at the

Indian King . When he was eleven years old we can see him standing with other boys at the corner of Second and Market Streets , in the early days of September , 1 81 hi 7 , watc ng Washington and Rochambeau with their armies as they marched down Second Street on their O ld w ay to Yorktown . He was seventeen years when h the Constitutional Convention met in t e city . A num ber of the delegates stayed at the Indian King, and this naturally increased his interest in the proceedings . He e 4 must have seen the gr at Federal Procession, July , 1 788 e , wh n the New Roof was paraded in triumph through the city . He was a strong Federalist all his nd the h a hi life , a these were events w ich sh ped s opinions . The yellow fever epidemic of 1 793 robbed him of res onsibili his mother and sisters , and placed heavy p

e t - ties upon the young man of tw n y three years of age . e e His lder brother, Thomas was absent in Belvider , so

- in- that along with his brother law, John Watson, the settlement of the affairs at the Indian King fell upon him .

John Watson was from Burlington, New Jersey, and at about this time was formed the ﬁrm of Watson

Paul , which carried on an import business with great success for a generation and laid the foundation for the wealth which James Paul acquired . The partner ship created close ties between the Watson and the mi Paul fa lies , which still endure . During the summer of 1 794 there broke out in the w estern counties of Pennsylvania what is called the “ ” Whiskey Insurrection . President Washington

called upon the Pennsylvania Militia , together with the e e militia of n ighboring Stat s , to the number of e to repress this incipient rebellion . James Paul march d JAMES PAUL 67

with these troops , notwithstanding his connection with

Philadelphia Meeting. Upon his return he was sub ected j to the usual discipline of the Society of Friends . A committee from the Meeting repeatedly visited him and urged him to acknowledge the wrong of his action his and sorrow for his violation of their principles . This dd he was never willing to . His description of these visitations and the pressure thus brought to bear upon ef him has long been handed down in the family. All forts to obtain an acknowledgment of wrong failing, the following process was served upon him, which is now in my possession

O m James Paul f this City , who had a right of me bership with us the people called the Quakers ; not regarding our Christian testi

mony against warr , has been engaged in bearing arms and joining r others therein . Towards him tender labor hath been extended in o der to turn his mind to that peaceable principle which leads from Warr and Strife ; but he appearing not fully convinced o f the recti f tude o our testimony herein , we do no longer consider him as a mem

f r e ber o ou religious Society . Nevertheless we desire he may b come duly sensible of the nature of his deviation so as to condemn it

to the satisfaction of the Meeting . The foregoing testimony was agreed to by Philadelphia Monthly

the party .

ce His marriage , as that of his brother , took pla at

Old Swedes Church . The following entry in the rec ords of this church is in the handwriting of the Rev .

D . D . Nicholas Collins , , then much in favor as a marry ing parson . It reads :

The ancestry of Elizabeth Rodman, a Quakeress of

J. Burlington, N . , may be traced in the Genealogy of the Rodman Family by C . H . Jones (p . Of this marriage were born twelve children of re whom four died in childhood, their deaths being 68 F OURTH GENERATION corded in the records of Philadelphia Monthly Meet ing. It would seem from this that Elizabeth Rodman

Paul retained some connection with the Meeting . In these entries it is expressly recorded that they are the “ children of James Paul not a member . ul For a few years after their marriage , James Pa

and his wife resided at 1 00 Arch Street (near Fifth) . 1 802 he 34 u In removed to North Fifth Street , the ho se

at the southwest corner of Fifth and North Alley, opposite to the Old Christ Church burial ground and looking down on the tomb of Benjamin Franklin . Here the fam ily lived for twenty- ﬁve years until the inﬂux of business houses in the vicinity compelled e 1 76 another removal , this tim to South Third Street, ’ s . the house next to Old St . Peter Church These homes were centers where gathered a large and genial circle

of relations and friends . The ﬁrm of Watson 85 Paul owned the Chestnut

1 804 . . Street Wharf which they purchased in (A W . M 4 2 9 It was sold by their heirs in 1 8 7. They also 24 h owned the warehouse , South W arves , on Delaware

Avenue , at the south corner of Chestnut Street . The exact location of this wharf and warehous e is show n on a plan which faces page 37 of Abraham Ritter ’s “ Philadelphia and Her Merchants , in which work reference is made to the extensive trade carried on

by this ﬁrm . It included an import trade from India h and China , and t e story has been handed down of the desire of Elizabeth P aul to Obtain a special pattern hi of Canton c na which she drew on a sheet of paper, at the same time writing in the center of the pattern “ ” the words Put nothing here . In due time the large set of china arrived and when unpacked it was found that each plate displayed in the center the words “ Put ” nothing here , accurately copied by the Chinese work

Although born and bred as strict Quakers , in later the c life heads of this family, onnected themselves , under the powerful inﬂuence of the preaching of the

Rev . Albert Barnes , with the First Presbyterian

Church of Philadelphia . In this Church their family physician, Dr . Henry Neill , was a ruling Elder . Four e e a the of their daught rs h re received adult b ptism, connection continuing through two succeeding genera tions . 28 Elizabeth Paul died of apoplexy September , 1 835 .

After studying law with Job S . Halsted of Newton, New Jersey, he was mi ad tted to the New Jersey bar , and practiced law for ’ a time , but his father s early death had throw n upon him responsibilities which soon led him to take up a mercantile business in Philadelphia for which his

Uncle James advanced the necessary capital . 1 81 0 e A partnership was formed in the fall of , b tween Benjamin Canonge of New York, Comegys

Paul , and his cousin, James Ranten . The business was carried on at 1 2 7 Market Street under the ﬁrm name

of Canonge , Paul and Co . It proved very successful . James Ranten died in 1 81 4 and later Canonge with ’ drew . Comegys Paul s cousins , John T . and William

Watson , successively took their places . In the result n id Co. co s ing ﬁrm of Comegys Paul , he amassed a erable fortune . 1 1 81 8 32 On September 7, , he married his cousin ( )

e . Sarah Rodman Paul , the daughter of his Uncl James They lived at ﬁrst on North F ifth Street very near

to his uncle . In 1 824 he purchased from the executor of Nich olas Waln an estate of 1 1 0 acres on Wingohocking and hi Frankford Creeks in Northern Liberties . T s he called “ Newton ’ and there maintained a country place which was closely connected with the life not only of his own but of the succeeding generation of his fam

il l . y. Here he gradua ly retired from active business During the later years of his life he spent his summers 3 o . at Newton, but resided during winter at No P rtico Ro w , two doors above Ninth on the south side of Spruce 72 FIFTH GENERA TION

i f Street . In those days in Philadelphia it was a po nt o some moment that a citizen aspiring to true respect ability should never cross the street diagonally on the e cobble stones , but should always keep to the sid walk until reaching the rectangular crossing stones at the e im corners . Now Uncl Comegys , although h self a good

deal of a stickler for the proprieties , and much given to reproving his daughters for petty breaches of good e form, constantly negl cted to keep on the Spruce Street t e c . sid walk until he rea hed Ninth Stree Instead, in his nx nervous a iety to go straight to his destination, he walked diagonally from his doorstep to the opposite n at corner of Ninth and Spruce . It resulted that whe his dinner table he urged his daughters to an observ e e a t ance of some point of tiquett , they were in the h bi of retorting that they would behave with more propri

Comegys Paul was literary in his tastes .

In 1 826 he engaged in business in New York City

- in- along with his brother law, Bennington Gill . This ’ continued until his mother s death, when he returned to e 30 1 887 B lvidere and there died September , , at the age

Theodore S . Paul was one of the founders and an elder of the Second Presbyterian Church of Belvidere

(new school) . In 1 835 a proposition was under discussion for the removal of Theodore S . Paul and his family from

- in- ff Belvidere . His father law favored it and O ered to provide a considerable sum to secure him entry in a proposed new business in Philadelphia . Correspond

ence ensued between Dr . Cooper and Comegys Paul hi on the subject . The latter wrote concerning s 1 5 1 835 brother Theodore on May ,

I do not think another situation should be decided upon without

O ff n the greatest deliberation . It should er considerable pecu iary ad ’ vantages to a certainty of adding to his wife s comfort and happiness .

His present business he understands . The locality from being his

birth place is familiar to him . As the representative of his fam ily as

well as on account of his excellent character he is respected . The estimable traits in his character which you mention are not over u n . a d . rated Economical , steady, hono rable, persevering, correct quiet ’ Intermeddling with nobody s business but his own, he acquires the

n o f u n of entire conﬁdence and esteem not o ly his acq ainta ce, but busi

ness men generally .

’ Taking his brother s advice , my grandfather stayed in e he Belvider until became the Oldest inhabitant . Except for an occasional visit to his brother Comegys in Phila

delphia he rarely left his home town . In his earlier 78 FIF TH GENERA TION

a life he had ch rge of the family land interests . Later the the he managed his farm on outskirts of town . He e knew ev rybody in the place , even the boys playing in

the streets , and they all knew him . Everybody came to him when they needed money and he usually endorsed

their notes . When he died his executors found in his w allet the uncollectible notes of most of his fellow

townspeople .

John Rodman Paul , and pursued medical P hiladel studies in Paris for two years , returning to 1 825 phia in June , . Here he practiced his profession

. 2 0 1 830 for over twenty years On October , , he mar u e ried, at the First Presbyterian Ch rch, Philad lphia , 40 his cousin ( ) Rebecca Rodman Paul . (In her ’ 1 3 mother s Bible this marriage is entered as October , 1 830 e . I have given precedence to the church r cord . ) e be They resided on the north sid of Spruce Street , tween Tenth and Eleventh Streets . Both were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia and there their children were baptized . In 1 835 he was e elected a Fellow of the Colleg of Physicians . In 1 846 he removed with his family to his birth e place , Belvidere , New Jersey, and spent the r mainder “ of his life at the large country house called Ellers ” lie, which is so closely associated with two generations of the Paul family . Here the Philadelphia members of the family were in the habit of spending their summers . He gradually retired from the practice of his pro i n ffi ﬁl ﬁ fess o . His o ce became led with shing tackle he e rather than with patients , as settled down to the lif e e of a country gentleman . His plac slop d down to the river on the edge of which was a little boathouse . On a summ er afternoon he would seek out some of the children, procure bait and rod, and row up the river to Mnk h nk e a the cliff of anu ac u in the hop s of c tching a e black bass , which so far as my own experi nce went was never taken . 80 FIFTH GENERATION

His interest in his native town led to the founding tadl m an hi h of the S e Institute , to w ch e donated part of his large library . He made the then common mis take ofplanting this on top of a steep hill instead of at the bottom, which much interfered with its popularity .

For a longer term was Pr sident of the 1 848 Gloucester Land Company . He was from till his di e e ontributionshi death a r ctor of the Philad lphia C p. di m e He was also a rector of the Bank of Com rce , and 1 869 of the Philadelphia Savings Fund . In he was elected a Truste e of the University of Pennsylvania . Very shortly after its organization he became a mem ber of the U nion League Club of Philadelphia . In ante bellum days he was a strong supporter of h Henry Clay . During the war his intense sympathy wit the cause of the Union made heavy drafts upon his physical and mental energies . His natural gayety turned to a seriousness which even after the close of 6 the war was never entirely thrown 0 . e A lively pen pictur of him is given by his friend,

Dr . Stephen Littell .

“ In stature Dr . Paul was rather above the ordinary height ; and

in ﬁgure well formed and robust . His features were regular and clearly deﬁned ; his countenance prepossessing ; his step Short and a quick, and his c rriage erect and manly . He was simple and moderate in his habits ; straightforward and honest ; and free from all ostenta an tion , pretence, sham d unreality . Like Cowper he hated from his ff very soul all a ectation . There was no concealment or hypocrisy in u his nature ; his disapprobation was nmistakably expressed , and his

approval as heartily bestowed . He was an useful citizen and a ,

humane , honourable and upright man . N o one ever connected his

name with aught that was little, equivocal or unworthy . He was

o f scrupulously observant punctuality in all his engagements , rightly

hi and no t nking that time is money , that man is excusable for selﬁshly ” on to an encroaching what belongs other . ( This latter virtue he in herited - —H from his great grandfather , James Paul . . N . P . )

More full details of his life are given in . the memoir from which the above is extracted, published in the Transactions of the College of Physicians of Phila e d lphia , Third Series , Vol . IV . 1 006 3 His homes , at Spruce Street , and later at 90

Pine Street , were the gathering places not merely for JOHN RODMAN PAUL 83 his children and grandchildren but for a large circle of

acquaintances . At the head of his family board his wit e and merriment never failed . J st and anecdote kept sm ilin hum our mi all in g . These fa ly dinners and Sun

day evening suppers , continued by his children for ’ years after their father s death, will live in the mem orie s of the grandchildren so long as they live . 1 3 1 877 He died October , , and was buried in Laurel e Hill C metery .

2 1 1 769 e 9 1 830. Born February , ; died D cember , This distinguished preacher and divine after being educated by his father graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1 788 and was for a time a school e teacher and a surveyor in his nativ town of Lewes . At ﬁrst he was not at all attracted by the study of e had divinity to which his fath r urged him, and always spoke of himself as of a sceptical turn of mind . He took up the practice of law and attained considerable eminence in his profession , practicing in the courts of e hi Sussex County, D laware ; but he abandoned t s pro f s ion 1 800 di ni e s about and stu ed for the mi stry . He afterwards recorded that his changed standpoint as to l the ﬁ ife was caused by sudden death of his rst wife , to w hom he was devotedly attached, and the brutal assas sination of his brother Theodore before his eyes . He w as ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1 804 and in stalled by the Presbytery of Lewes as pastor of the same three Presbyterian churches of which his father 1 1 06 d . 8 ha before been in charge On May , , at the urgent solicitation of Dr .

di ff method convincing . Or narily most a able and cour teous e t e H e , he could yet xhibi extraordinary S verity . was irritated by the inattention of mem bers of his con gregation and sometimes requested them to retire if they did not desire to listen . It is recorded that he thus Violently rebuked from the pulpit his son Samuel for ’ misbehavior during his father s preaching and ordered i him to go home mmediately . A ﬁne portrait in oils which has been preserved by

- n e his . great grandson, Mr S . Wilso Fisher , of Ambl r, e a P nnsylvania, Shows him to h ve had a most animated hi and expressive although pale countenance . T s latter circumstance was due to his habit of frequently draw hle n o ing his blood . P botomy was then the commo pra tice of physicians and had been taught him by his father , and it was his custom before preaching to clar ify his head by drawing some of his blood . This no doubt weakened him and shortened his life . It is here recorded because it is well that w e should take account of the advance which time has made in our methods of e therapy, and in our knowl dge of how to preserve our strength in our latter years . w e By a contemporary who kne him well , it is stat d that he was in his time the only clergyman in the United States who had not only read all the Greek and Latin t ve fathers but who almos literally li d among them, was familiar with all of them and knew the t eachings of each . He was a purist in language . He published an

English grammar and also a Hebrew grammar , as well th as numerous theological works . Contrary to e usual custom of his time , he had but one Ruling Elder in his
