EXPLANATORY NOTE TO THE SEC'OND EDITION. The First Edition of the Evans-Whitting-Davis genealogy ,vas issued by its author, the late Senator Septimus E. Nivin, in 1922. From the date of its publication until his last illness, in 1927, Senator Nivin ,vas engaged in correspondence ,vith members of the family, and in personal research, both of which resulted in the accumulation of a large quantity of additional data. It had been the author's intention to publish this additional material as a supplement to the original work, but this he was prevented, by ill health, from doing. The Second Edition now embodies both the original work, and the additional material collected by Senator Nivin since its publication. Errors have been corrected wherever reported or detected, and further changes in the original text have been made, wherever required, in the light of more recent information. The system of numbering has been entirely revised, so that it now runs consecutively, ,vithout either the omission of numbers, or the insertion of letters and other makeshifts, occasioned by the tardy arrival of information. v·Vills, journals and letters not included in the original edition, have been inserted. A table of contents, and a complete index, have been added. Besides the sketches comprising the original edition, the Second Edition includes two that are entirely ne,v-those of the descendants, respectively, of Jenkin Evans and of Rev. Abel tlorgan. These alone add mor~ than 200 names, ,vhich, ,vith the voluminous additions to the original sketches, have inc1·eased the total enrollment of the book ap proximately 1400, to nearly 2300, names. A matter peculiar to new editions of genealogies should be noted here: namely, that such expressions as '' 110,v' ', or '' at present'', as used in the original edition, may afterwards have become obsolete, through removal or death, without the knowledge of the author. It is believed that such instances are few. Readers will doubtless find that the more compact arrangement of the Second Edition adds not only to the appearance of the book, but also to its readabiliy and convenience of reference. Abbreviations have been used where practicable, and matter considered too bulky for the. body of the work has been transferred to the Appendices. The revision of this Genealogy as outlined above, is the work of Alfred R. Justice. This publication is undertaken by the undersigned, nieces of Senator Nivin, as a completion of the work cut short by his death, and as a tribute to his memory. SOPHIE N IVIN JAMES.

Addressed to The British Society. Philadelphia, March 1, 1733/4. Gentlemen: It is not unkno"\\TJ1 to you that Maddoc Gwynedd, Prince of Wales, did about 500 years ago, sail to the westward with several ships and a great number of his subjects; and was never heard of after. Some reliques of the Welsh tongue being found in old and deserted settle ments abont the lvfississippi, make it probable that he sailed up that river. And we, being moved with brotherly love to our countrymen, are meditating to go in search of them; bui are discouraged by the distance of the place, and uncertainty of the course we should steer. If you can give us any information and direction, together with some help to bear the expense we shall find men adventurous enough to undertake the expedition; having no other end in view than to carry the gospel of peace among our ancient brethren; and believing it will be to the enlargement of the British Empire in America, and a proof of prior- right to the ,vhole continent should we happily succeed. We remain, Gentl~men, Your loving countrymen, NATHANIEL JEN KINS, BENJ. GRIFFITHS, JOSEPH EATON' JOHN DAVIS, DAVID EVANS, RYN ALLT HowEL. (Morgan Edwards, History of the Baptists, ,ToI. 1, page 129.)

A marble slab in the Vincent churchyard bears the following inscription: Here lies the body of the Rev. Mr. Owen Thomas, who departed this life November 12, 1760, in the sixty-ninth year of his age. In yonder home I spent my breath And now lie slumbering here in death, These lips shall wake and then declare Amen to truths they published there. 20 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALT.JED FAJ\1ILIES
He left the following note: '' I have been called upon three times to annoint the sick with oil for recovery. The effect was surprising in every case, but in none more than in that of Brother Reynold Howell. He was so sore with the bruises of the wagon when he was annointed, that he could not bear to be turned otherwise than with the sheet. The next day he was so well that he went to meeting.'' . The Welsh Tract Baptist Church was built about 1703, and was the third Baptist church founded in America. The present building was erected in 1746. The bricks used in its construction were imported from England, and transported from New Castle, in panniers upon mules. One of the oldest tombstones is that of Reese Rhyddrach, who died 1707. By a deed made the ninth day of November, A. D. 1741, John Jones and wife granted to Jane Evans, widow, of London Britain Township, 224 acres 130 perches of land in said township, for the consideration of 200 pounds. This indenture was ~igned in presence of Reynold Howell and John Evans. Jane Evans was admitted into the Baptist Church, December 2, 1728. She owned a farm, where she probably lived and died, about a half-mile from London Tract Church, of which she was a member. As her husband, son Evan, two daughters, Mary and Lydia, and others of her descendants are buried there, it is probable that she was, also. Evan Rice Evans, administrator of her estate, in an account filed, claimed an allowance for erecting a tombstone. 'l'here is no such tomb stone there. Letters of administration on the estate of Jane Evans were granted October 30, 1794, to Evan Evans. An inventory of the estate of Jane Evans was filed by Evan Rice Evans, March 17, 1795. Sundry goods, chattels and wearing apparel were valued by her heirs at 20 pounds. In a final account filed the same day, an allowance is claimed for £ s. d.

A registry made 1780 shows that John Evans was one of ihe three largest slaveholders in the county. He had nine slaves for life; one of them, Nanny, aged 78 years, was the oldest slave in the county. The Pennsylvania Gazette, of September 23, 1774, contains this item: "Newark, September 17, 1774. This day was buried, in the nine teenth year of his age, Mr. John Evans, son of John Evans, Esq. This funeral was attended by clergymen of different denominations, and a great number of respectable people. The body was deposited in the Baptist graveyard at Welsh Tract, and a funeral oration made over it by the Rev. Morgan Edwards. The scene was truly mournful by reason partly of the unaffected grief painted in the countenances of the parents, who lost a son that had greatly endeared himself to their affections by a dutiful and pretty behavior and had raised high their expectation of his acting in life with propriety and honor, for which he stood qualified by a good understanding, benign temper and a liberal education.'' The same paper, December 8, 1779: "On Sunday 21st, of Novem ber ult., died in the seventeenth year of his age, Oswald Evans, younger son of the Hon. John Evans, Esq., one of the J·udges of the Supreme Court, after a long and severe illness which he supported with a Christian fortitude rarely to be met with in one of his tender years.'' The same paper, September 11, 1782: "On Saturday, the 17th of August;- died Mrs. J\fary Evans, wife of Hon. John Evans, Esq., one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of this State, in the fifty-eighth year of her age, and on the Monday following her remains were interred at the Baptist Burial Ground in the Welsh Tract, accompanied by a large number of afflicted relations and respectable neighbors,'' &c. The same paper, September 14, 1782: "We hear from London Britain Township, Chester County, that on Friday, 30th ult., departed this life in the twenty-sixth year of his age, Mr. Rees Jones Evans, only son of the Hon. John Evans. A remarkable sweetness of temper, affability and courtesy, rendered him esteemed in life and lamented in death. His sickness which was short, he bore with Christian patience and resignation. He expressed his entire confidence in the Redeemer's merits, and ardently desired the happy moment when he should breathe his soul into the bosom of his Savior. His remains were on the Sunday following deposited in the Baptist Burial Ground at the Welsh ·Tract. The concourse of people of characters and denominations that attended the solemnity mingled their tears with his disconsolate parent evinced their high esteem for the deceased and sensibility of their loss.'' 26 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAl\IILIES
The same paper of Wednesday, December 17, 1783: "On Thursday eYening last departed this life the Hon. John Evans, Esq., one of the J. J. of the Supreme Court of this State, and a member of the Council of Censors. The abilities, integrity and disposition of this amiable man marked him early in life as public property. He possessed all that perfection of character which education, liberty and religion are capable of producing in the mind of man. His last illness found him busily engaged in the business of his country. With prospects of happiness beyond the grave he calmly resigned his breath in the fifty-fourth year of his useful life. Pennsylvania deplores the loss of this excellent citizen. He was at once a pillar and ornament of t~is State. But it is to lessen his praise to confine his loss to a particular community. He belonged to the republic of humanity. He was the friend of all mankind.'' Immediately below this obituary is the following notice: '' The Freemen of Chester County are requested to meet at the Turk's Head Tavern in Goshen, on Saturday next at 11 o'clock, in order to fix on a suitable person in the Council of Censors in the room of the Hon. John Evans, Esq., deceased." The f ollo,ving epitaph is said to have been written by Dr. Benjamin Rush for John ~~vans' tombstone: ''Beneath this stone are interred the remains of the Hon. John Evans, Esq., ,vho departed this life on the 11th of December, 1783, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. '' Ask not this marble who and ,vhat he was.

''Ask the State of Pennsylvania which gave him birth, and her grateful citizens will declare how ably and faithfully he discharged the duties of ' 'A COUNSELLOR AND JUDGE. '' Ask the Church of Christ, and her ministers and members '\"'ill declare how much he loved her doctrines, ordinances and how calmly he resigned his breath rejoicing in these words of his Savior, which are recorded in John XIV and 3 : '' 'And if I go and prepare a place for you I ""ill come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also.' "His only surviving daughter, out of nine children, hath caused this inscription to be placed on his tombstone as a testimony of his worth and of her affection for his memory.''

The Baptist Churchyard, Philadelphia, " 7as situated on what ":as kno,vn as Lagrange Place, a little street, running west from Second Street, between Market and Arch. The church at Broad and Arch Streets, known as the First Baptist Church, was the successor of the church at Second Street. 1fany of the bodies and tombstones from the latter were removed to 1Iount Moriah Cemetery, but this tombstone cannot be found there. John Evans, by his will dated May 28, 1783, proven December 9, 1783, at Philadelphia (Will Book S page 475), did "give and bequeath to my much esteemed and ,,·orthy friend lVIargaret Knarsborough, the sum of one hundred pounds, gold and silver money. I do order and direct that each of my said three brothers shall pay unto Mary Gilpin, the grand-daughter of my deceased sister liary, the sum of :fifty pounds. I give and devise .719 acres, 119 perches of land in London Britain To"\v11ship, Pennsylvania, including therein nine square-rods or eighty one perches of land allotted for a meeting house and graveyard for the Society of Baptist there, together ,vith a lot of four acres of meado,v land in the \ 7 illage of Newark, to my only surviving child 1Iary, ",.ith a proviso that if the said }Iary should die without issue who should arrive at the age of maturity, then to my three only brothers, Evan, George and Peter, to be equally divided among them.'' J\Iary Evans died 1785, unmarried. By her last will dated August 9, 1785, and recorded in New Castle County, Dela,vare, she directed: ''I will and desire that a tombstone be erected over my mother and her brother (lying in th~ same grave) with proper inscription, and one for my two brothers, John and Oswell (lying in the same grave), and one for my brother Reese, and likewise one for myself, ,vith proper inscrip tions to each. I will and bequeath unto ~Iargaret Knarsborough my riding chair and horse and all my beds and bedding of every kind, made and unmade ,vith all my linens, my high case of dra"\"\:.. ers and one looking glass, together with three hundred pounds lawful money of this State to be paid to her as soon as convenient after my decease, and do iikewise request that my executors bring in no account or debt of any kind from the estate against the said Margaret Knarsborough. I do will and bequeath unto Hannah Strawbridge, the wife of John Strawbridge, of the City of Philadelphia, fifty pounds like lawful money aforesaid, with my silver cream pot. I bequeath my two silver salts unto Elizabeth Shakespear, wife of David Shakespear, of Philadelphia. I bequeath my silver soup spoon unto my uncle George Evans, and one-half of my 28 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVJN AND ALLIED F A!\:1ILIES silver tablespoons to my uncle Evan Evans, the other half to my uncle Peter Evans, and my silver teaspoons to the aforesaid l\Iargaret Knarsborough, and my rings and other trinkets to my uncle George's daughter Polly. I do will and bequeath unto Thomas Fleeson (minister of the Baptist Church at the London Tract) twenty-fl.ye pounds lawful money of this State, together with all my father's black clothes, and unto l[r. John Boggs (minister of the Baptist Church in the Welsh Tract) ten pounds lawful money aforesaid, and unto my aunt l\Iargaret 1Iorgan five pounds like money. I bequeath the sum of six pounds towards building a Baptist meeting house in the Town of Wilmington. I ,vill that my negro Sal be set free at my death, and likewise that ten pounds be left in the hands of l\Irs. Knarsborough for her use in case of sickness, and that my negro Bob be set free in one year after my decease. I will my girl Grace to the care of ~Irs. Knarsborough until the age of eighteen and then free. The remainder of my estate I give to my kind and loving uncles, viz.: Evan Evans, George Evans and Peter Evans to be divided equally between them and constitute them my executors.'' On August 22, 1785, letters were granted to Evan Evans, George and Peter having renounced. Margaret Knarsborough was a housekeeper and nurse in the family of Judge John Evans. In consideration of her long and faithful service, Mary Evans, in addition to other things, bequeathed her 300 pounds. Now Mary Evans, although she o,vned 1168 acres of land appraised at 5170 pounds 3 shillings, with the exception of articles bequeathed to certain individuals, left no personal property, and as she died in the State of Delaware, where the la,vs do not make real estate liable for legacies unless specifically so charged in the will, Evan, George and Peter, although they received all the real estate, did not pay the money legacies. Margaret Knarsborough brought suit in Pennsylvania against Evan Evans, executor, but was not successful, and she did not receive any part of her 300 pounds. l\llary Evans, in her will, directed that a tombstone be erected over the graves of her mother, brothers and herself. Her mother, brothers and probably herself, were buried in the Welsh Tract Baptist Church yard. There are no such tombstones there, and while Evan, George and Peter each received from the estate of Mary Evans 1756 pounds 14 shillings and 4 pence, it does not appear that they even marked her grave.

Peter Evans, :11:. D., was born near Landenberg, Chester County, Pa., but after his marriage moved to Philadelphia County. "He was a Practitioner of Physick and was esteemed a man of importance in the community and for a long period was a Justice of the Peace, having been commissioned June 6, 1777. It was before this Justice that the Hilltown members of Montgomery Church were brought, by too zealous \Vhigs, because they had not taken the oath of allegiance, and had ven tured outside of the limits of their own County. The Justice knowing them to be peaceable and well-disposed folks, and members of his own church, refused to hold them under arrest. He was, on February 21, 1778, appointed a commissioner for the purchase of supplies for the Continental Army.'' Dr. Peter Evans was appointed one of the Commissioners on pur chases for Philadelphia County (Penna. Arch., 2nd Series, Vol. III, page 725). In 1776, he was assessed on 200 acres of land, 2 Negroes, 4 horses and 8 cattle. He and Jenkin Evans were two of the five trustees named in tl1e incorporation of 1fontgomery Baptist Church by the Legislature, September 26, 1783. February 21, 1778, the Supreme Executive Council ordered the sum of ten thousand dollars to Peter Evans and Colonel John Moore, Com missioners, for purchasing provision in Philadelphia County ( Colonial
Records1_ Vol. 11, page 421). February 28, 1778, an order was drawn on the treasury in favor of Captain Willis for the sum of eight dollars expenses in forwarding despatches to Commissioners for purchasing of provisions of the County of Philadelphia, Bucks, &c. (Ibid., page 428). December 18, 1784, Peter Evans was commissioned First Justice of Court of Common Pleas in and for Montgomery County, which had just been separated from Philadelphia County (Colonial Records, Vol. 14, page 282).
DAVID EVANS. ''David Evans, the father of Rachel, was bcrn in Wales in 1690. He had some talent as a public speaker, and was· called upon by his brethren to make use of same, with a view to the ministry. He wa.s the owner of a tract of land of 753 acres, and with that owned by Jenkin Evans (supposed to have been his brother), the extent of the area was a square mile and a half. This 753 acres remained intact for more than a 34 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAl\1:ILIES century, as it was devised by the will of David Evans, to his grandehil dren; and at the time of the death of Rachel Evans ,vas the largest tract of land in the possession of one person in Montgomery County. "In 1717, he purchased 200 acres in 'Barley Township,' lying along the west bank of the N eshaminy, from Evan Thomas. This was part of 5000 acres of 'rough, unseparated land' laid out in 1682, and deeded in l 702 by William Penn to Thomas Hartley of London. In 1736 he bought 250 acres, 'wholly ""'oodland,' from Ebenezer Kinnesly. ''In 1737 he bought 250 acres more from Theopholis Williams. By ,vill he devised this land to his six grandchildren, to John Evans, 138 acres, Lydia and Sarah 205 acres, Peter 125 acres, David 164 acres, and Septimus 121 acres. A house east of Colmar was at one time the resi dence of David Evans. It was built in 1733 and is still occupied as a dwelling. He died September 8, 1763, at the age of seventy-three, and is buried in l\fontgomery Churchyard. His tomb has the following inscription:
i Intombed I am, in dust I lie, And wait that blessed morn' When Christ's own voice calls me to rise And live in light forever.' " 1722, June 2. Received David Evans from Kevon Hongood and Sarah his wife, of Llannerwarth, Wales. 1763, September 18, Died, David Evans, he being the first deacon of the church and had served forty-one years. In 1767, February 6, Died, Sarah, widow of David Evans, deacon. (History of Montgomery Baptist Church. See "The ~Iinister of Christ and His Flock,'' a sermon preached by David Evans, December 30, 1731; printed by B. Franklin). The foregoing statement that David Evans 's land was devised by will to his grandchildren, requires correction, &s David Evans died intestate. By indenture dated October 26, 1819, (Deed Book 330 page 121), this 753 acres was deeded-to John Evans, 138 acres; etc. Letters of Administration on his estate were granted October 11, 1763, to his son-in-la,v Peter Evans and Benjamin Thomas, (Administration Book G, page 370, No. 41, of 1763, Phila.). Their sureties on the bond for 5000 pounds Pennsylvania currency were Edward ~!orris and Hum phrey Bates. An inventory was filed September 7, 1764!' and showed a total of 1107 pounds, including rental values of about 20 pounds yearly for the homestead, three tenements and a milling tenement. He had 75 pounds. in cash and 565 pounds in investments. The Ap- FAMILY OF JOHN EVANS, OF CHESTER COUNTY, PA. 35 praisers were George Smith, Morris Morris and John Jenkins. The account showed a net balance of 1179 pounds for distribution between the widow, who received one-third, and the only child, who received i wo-thirds. Peter Evans released his tenancy of his deceased wife's real estate to his four sons and two daughters, January 4, 1819. David Evans brought from Wales some pieces of money. He gave one to each of his grandsons. One of these pieces was in the possession of Septimus E. Nivin. It is of silver, about the size of a quarter of a dollar. On one side are the words CAROLAS 2ND DEI GRACIA, and on the other side MAG. BR. FRA. ET HIB. REX 1668. David Evans was probably brother to Jenkin and Methusalah Evans (see Jenkin Evans family).
By a deed of partition dated November 18, 1761, before mentioned, Peter Evans took for his portion, under the wi]l of his father John Evans, 350 acres of land in London Britain Township. By a deed of partition dated February 14, 1789, before mentioned, under the wills of their brother John Evans and his daughter Mary Evans, their niece, of the estate of the said Mary Evans situated in the Hundreds of Pencadder and White Clay Creek, in New Castle County, in the State of Delaware, containing four hundred and sixty seven acres and eighty-seven perches of land, there has been assigned and allotted to the S!tid Peter Evans two hundred and seventeen acres, valued at four pounds and five shillings per acre making nine hundred and twenty-two pounds and five shillings, together with one hundred and thirty-eight acres, two roods and twenty-nine perches of the lands in London Britain Township, aforesaid, valued at six pounds per acre, making eight hundred and thirty-two pounds, one shilling and nine pence, both with two pounds, seven shillings and seven pence paid by Evan Evans to the said Peter Evans for ovelty of partition amounting in the whole to the sum of one thousand seven hundred and fifty-six pounds, fourteen shillings and four pence. By an indenture dated the tenth day of the fifth month, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, George Evans, of Brandywine Hundred, in the County of New Castle on Dela ware, yeoman, and Rachel, his wife, granted and conveyed to Peter Evans twenty-four and a half acres and thirty-seven perches of land in 36 GENEALOGY 01'" EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAl\IILIES

Peter Evans' tombstone has this inscription: "No, I'll repine at death no more, But with a cheerful gasp resign; To the cold dungeon of the grave, These dying withering limbs of mine. Let worms devour my ,vasting flesh, And crumble all my bones to dust ; My God shall raise my frame anew At the revival of the just.'' Rachel Evans' tombstone has this inscription : '' Here we commit unto thy trust 0 grave these dear remains of dust, 'Til the archangel from the skies Shall shout and bid the dead arise; Then must thou open thy prison door, And this dear captive thence restore.''

It is found so infrequently in Ireland as to make it certain that it does appear there as the result of a Scotch family having settled there early in the seventeenth century. The following account is compiled from the '' History of Ayrshire and its Families," by James Paterson, Vol. 2, p. 253. NEVIN OF ~IONKitEDDING. i. Thomas Nevin-of }lonkredding married Elizabeth Crawford, July 20, 1532; he and his wife received a grant of the land of East Monkredding from Alexander, Abbot of Kilwinning, comprising 700 acres. The Laird was on terms of intimacy ,vith the Earl of Eglinto,"'ll, ,vho, while on a visit, was taken ill and died at ~Ionkredding, September ?, 1546. The Earl's castle was only 1 ½ miles from ~Ionkredding. · He left a will appointing Thomas Nevin tutor to his son, the succeeding Earl. Thomas·- Nevin was succeeded bv., his son : · ii. Andrew Nevin, second Laird of Monkredding, married Lady ~Iontgomery (Montgomery· Manuscripts, p. 53, v., infra), 1581. He ,vas a witness to a c)larter of confirmation by Hugh, Earl of Eglinton, to Jam.es Lockhart of I.Jee, of the lands of Loch,vood in Cunninghame. He also witnessed an obligation from Margaret l\Iax,vell, Lady Giffyn and Duncan Foster of Kilmoir, her spouse, to the third Earl of Eglinton. His name appears as a ,vitness to a bond given by the same Earl in 1582 relating to a marriage contract bet,veen ~obert 1:Iaster of Setoun and Margaret ~Iontgomery, the Earl's daughter, and his sister-in-law. He signed the famous Band in defence of the Reformed R-eligion. He was succeeded by his son : iii. Thomas Nevin, third Laird of J\Ionkredding, died circa 1621. The name of his wife is not given. His name appears among others in connection with parsonage lands granted by John Blair, iiay 14, (101) 102 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIEU FA..."l\IILIES 1600. He is also named in several testamentary documents until 1621, about ,vhich time he died. He was su~ceeded by his son. iv. Thomas Nevin, fourth Laird of Monkredding, died April, 1651. He married, October 29, 1619, Margaret Blair. 1623. Thomas Nevin, "Fear" of }Ionkredding, Niniane Nevin, his father's brother, and Mr. Hew Nevin, his brother germane, were witnesses to a testamentary deed. Thomas Nevin had a sister ·Geills Nevin, who married Mr. Alexander Wreittown, in Kilwyuning, who died October, 1636. In his will he appoints his spouse Geills Neving executrix. Over seers: Earl of Eglintown, Thomas N eiving, the elder of Monkredding; Thomas N eving, the younger of Monkredding.

Thomas Nevin, :fifth Laird of ~Ionkredding, died April 20, 1680. vi. Thomas Nevin, sixth Laird of Monkredding, died l\Iarch 22, 1693. vii. William Nevin, seventh Laird of Monkredding, was a brother of the sixth Laird. He alienated the lands of Monkredding to Hugh Cunninghame of Clonbirth, Esq. Thomas Nevin, Gent. brother of Andrew Nevin, the second Laird of ~Ionkredding, was one of the associates of Sir Hugh Montgomery in his settlement in Ireland, as appears from the following (~Iont gomery Manuscript, p. 53) : ''The Montgomeries and Nivins seemed to be closely connected in Scotland and Ireland when Sir Hugh ~Iontgomery started his planta tion in Ireland, which began about May, 1606, and thus it was, viz.: Sir Hugh, after his return from Ireland to Braidstone, in the winter of 1605, as he had before his coming into Ireland, spoken of the planta- FAMILY OF DAVID EVANS, NEW -CASTLE COUNTY, DEL. 103 tion so now he induced his prime friends to join him therein, viz.: John Shaw, of Greentime, and Patrick Montgomery, of Blackhouse, Esq., who married the said John Shaw's sister Christiana. These t,vo gen tlemen had been in Ireland and given livery of seizure as aforesaid to Sir Hugh, who also adduced the aforementioned Col. David Boyd; who bargained for 1000 acres in Grey Abby parish, Scottish Cunningham measure, at 18 foot 6 inches to the perch or pole. Sir Hugh, also brought with him, Patrick Shaw, Laird of Helseland (his lady's father's brother) and Hugh ~Iontgomery, a cadet of the family of Braidstone, and Mr. Thomas Nivin, brother of the La1.rd of ~Ionck Roddin and Cunningham, gentlemen, his near allys, and also Patrick l\!Ioore of Dugh, Neil and Catherwood, gentlemen, ,vith many others and gave them lands in fee form in Donaghadie Parish. Thomas Nevin ,vas nephew of the first lady of 1\1:ontgomery of the Ards, one of her ·sisters having married Andrew Nivin, second Laird of ~Ionkroddin, in the Parish of Kilmin~ing. Although the Monkroddin estate was small, consisting of only 700 acres, adjoining the village of Kilwinning, its Lairds " .. ere kinsmen of the Earls of Eglinton, and appear to have been engaged in several confidential matters connected with the Eglinton family. In 1581, Andrew Nevin, the 2nd, Laird, and father of Thomas, men tioned in the text, witnessed an obligation from Margaret Maxwell, Lady Giffyn, and Duncan Foster of Kilmoir, her spouse, to the 3rd Earl of Eglinton. He also witnessed a bond given by the same Earl in 1582, relating to a marriage contract between Robert iiaster, of Setoun, and 1\Iargaret 1\iiontgomerie, the Earl's daughter. In 1583, Monk Redding was one of the witnesses to an obligation from l\Iuir of Caldwell, to surrender certain papers to Agnes ~Iont gomerie, Lady Sempill (Patterson's ''Parishes and Families of Ayr shire,'' Vol. 2, p. 253; Frazer '' 1Iemorials,'' Vol. 2, pp. 221-224). Thomas Nivin, of Ballycopeland, Parish of Donaghadee, obtained a grant of denization, l\{ay, 1617 ( Cal. of Patent Rolls, James 1, p. 326). This gentleman appears to have returned to the family estate in Ayr shire, where he died about 1651. His will, dated the 22nd of January, 1651, is preserved in Dublin, although written in Scotland. In this he mentions his lands in Ireland, and his son l\{r. Hew, in Ireland. (Manu script notes of Robert S. Nicholson, Esq.) On coming to the Ards, it is certain that the Nivins first settled in the Parish of Donaghadee, where their descendants continued in pos- 104 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAl\fILIES session of considerable landed property until late in the 18th century. In 1771, the lands known as the two Ballymacrewses were held by David and John Nevin, and had previously been in possession of Benjamin Nevin, probably their father. In 1775, John and William Nevin held considerable property in Donaughadee (M.S.S. in po~session of Daniel De la Cherois, Esq., Donaghadee, to whose kindness the Editor is indebted for many family papers). In the account of the funeral procession of the first Viscount liont gomery, of Ireland, September, 1636, ninth among the Divines, neither Doctors nor Dignitaries, was Mr. Hugh Nevin.

(Patterson's '' Parishes and Fam ilies of Ayrshire," Vol. 2, p. 253.) On the 1st of December, 1634, Mr. Hugh Nivin was appointed by Royal presentation to the vicarages of Dona.ghadee and Ballielty with the clause of union Pro haec vice ta,n.tu1n. ( Liber. Hibernire, Vol. ii, part 5, p. 111.) Mr. Hugh Nevin resides in Ballycopeland, Parish of Donaghadee. His will, dated October 12, 1652, proved November 2, 1652, men tions his spouse l\1argaret, but does not give her family name.

I shall likewise desire my good friends, Hugh ~Iontgomerie of Gransheogh, John Montgomerie of Bellie Rollie, Ma.thew Haslett and Robert Callewell to be assistants to the above-named overseers.'' His will ,vas witnessed by John }Iontgomerie and ~Iathe,v Haslett. The latter made his mark. Children: Thomas; Robert, married Jane. Boyd; William; and Archibald. Two daughters, one Eliza.beth. (lfontgomery l\lannscript, p. 135.) These Nevins married Boyds. One was wife of Rev. Thomas Nevin. The son of Robert married his cousin }Iargaret Boyd, of Glastry. (Full note from manuscript of late Rev. James Nelson, D. D., of Downpatrick. Montgomery Manuscript, 1603-1706, p. 135.)• • See Appendix D. FAMILY OF DA.YID EVANS, NE,v CASTLE COUNTY, DEL. 105 The Pioneer Ancestor of the Nivin Family in America was David Evans, as is shown by a deed on record in New Castle County, Dela ware, dated 1\{ay 21, 1761 (Deed Book W-1, page .451), in which his children are called N ivin-s. Another deed refers to this same David Evans, as "Lately of the l(ingdom of Ireland;'' both these deeds will be given hereafter. James 1\Ic1Iechen, in his will, refers to his first wife's father as ''David Nivin, of Mill Creek Hundred.'' The following records from the 26th report of the ''Deputy keeper of the publie records of Ireland" indicate that there were many indi viduals by the name of "Evans," and several by the name of "Nivin," living in the County of Dublin. David Evans, of Ballymagee, County of Dublin, left a will dated 1668. Roger Evans, of Dublin, died intestate in 1714 (pp. 283-285) .. David Evans married, 1670, Phyliss Bryan. Thomas Nivin, of ~Iunkridding, Ayrshire, Scotland, left a will dated 1655. David Niving married, 1767, Jane Brovln. David Niving married, 1769, Ann Gilbert. The name Eva1is is of Welsh origin, but many ·of the name settl~d in the north of Ireland. N ivin; however, was a distinct family name, originating in Scotland. David Evans ( or Nivin) settled among the "\Velsh Baptists, but many of his associates were from Ireland. ~Iont gomery, ~Icl\Iechen,-1\I~Donald, Kennedy, Wilson &c. are Scotch-Irish family names. During the Irish rebellions in the reign of Elizabeth, the Province of Ulster, embracing the northern counties of Ireland, was reduced to the lo",.est extremity of poverty and ,vretchedness. Soon after the ac cession of James I, his quarrels vlith the Roman Catholics of that prov ince led to a conspiracy against the British authority. O'Neill and O'Donnell, two Irish Lords, who had been created Earls by the English Government-the former the Earl of Tyrone and the latter the Earl of Tyrconnel-arranged a plot against the government. Its detection led these chief conspirators to fly the country, leaving their extensive estates-about 500,000 acres-at the mercy of the l{ing, who only wanted a pretext for taking possession. A second insurrection soon gave occasion for another large forfeiture, and nearly six entire counties 106 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAl\:rILIES in the Province of Ulster were confiscated and subjected to the disposal _of the crown. But it was a territory which showed the effects of a long series of lawless disturbances, and was almost depopulated. It became a favorite project ,vith the King to re-people these coun ties with a Protestant population. To promote this object, liberal offers of land were made and other inducements held out for colonists to occupy this wide and vacant country. The project was eagerly embraced. The principal immigration was from Scotland. Its coast is within twenty miles of the County of Antrim, in Ireland ; across this strait flowed a large population, and the Presbyterians of Scotland, who fur nished the largest element have maintained their ascendency to the pre~ent day, against the persevering efforts of the government church on the one hand, and the Romanists, by whom they were surrounded, on the other. These persecutions were commenced in Scotland under the latter Stuarts-Charles II and James II. Sir James Grahame, better known as Claverhouse, was sent there to compel the Presby terians to conform in their religious worship to that of the establish ment. The attempts to establish "the Church of England" over Scot land was pursued by the Charles's and James II. Worn out with the unequal contest these Presbyterians abandoned the land of their birth and sought an asylum among their countrymen who had preceded them in the secure retreats of Ulster. This is the race-flowing from Scotland-,vhich furnished the pop ulation in the north of Ireland, familiarly kno,vn as the Scotch-Irish. This term does not denote an admixture of the Scotch and Irish races. The one did not intermarry ,vith the other. The Scotch were prin cipally Saxon in blood, and Presbyterian in religion; the native Irish, Celtic in blood, and Roman Catholic in religion, and these were elements which could not very readily coalesce. Hence the races are as distinct in Ireland at the present day, after a lapse of two centuries and a half, as when the Scotch first took up their abode in that island. They were called Scotch-Irish, simply from the circumstance that they were the descendants of Scots, who had taken up their residence in the north of Ireland. · The following deeds have an important bearing on the question of David's surname, and it is quite possible that an error was made by th~ scribe in writing "David Evans," in the deed of 1751: To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come-Greet ing.

And first, I leave my well beloved wife, all my real estate, except that two hundred and nine acres that was lately surveyed to my son David McMechen, she, that is to say my wife Margaret, to have the educating, s.chooling and maintaining of our three children to ,vit·: Jean, Rebecca· and Tabitha, until each of them ·comes to the age of eighteen years.

FAl\:IILY OF DAVID EVANS, NE,v CASTLE COUNTY, DEL. 117 RECORD IN GENERAL W1LLIAM 1IoNTGOl\fERY's FAl\IILY BrBLE. Aug. 3, 1809. By the goodness of Divine Providence I have this day numbered seventy-three years (not noting the change of style) and it is but right that I should leave a record of God's goodness to me in so long a life. I was the third son of Alexander and Mary ~{ontgomery, ,vho both died leaving me an orphan of ten or eleven years old. But by the restraining grace and goodness of God, I was led through the slippery paths of youth up to manhood. I early married !fargaret Nivin. She was all that could be expected in a woman; she was pious, sensible and affectionate. She lived with me about 13 years and had issue, ~{ary who died at 23 years of age, .Alexander who died in infancy, ~Iargaret who died in the same year with her sister, William who is still alive and has a large family, aged about 47 years, John who is about two years younger and has also a large family, Daniel who is still two years younger than John and has a family, Alexander ,vho died about one year old. About 22 months after her decease I married Isabella Evans, a most distinguished and delightful woman by whom I had issue Robert born in April 1773, Hannah born the 22nd of Jan. 1775, Alexander born Oct. 8, 1777, and Margaret born Jan. 8, 1784. The three former are still living but she died soon after her marriage with Thomas Woodside. Their mother was called away from me in Aug. __1791 and in April 1793 I married a worthy and eminent woman, her maiden _name was Boyd and she was the widow of Col. Mathew Boyd by whom she had issue John who died with the dysentery aged about 23 years, Rebekah who is married to Rev. John B. Patterson, lives happily and is ra-ising a fine family. But I have had no issue by my present wife nor has any uneasiness arisen in consequence of it. Nor can it be said that any of my children have had step-mothers being always treated with as much te~derness and respect as they could have expected from their own mothers. Another instance of my happiness and for which I ought to be very thankful is the untarnished morality of my children, and the peaceful harmony that has always subsisted among them. Through all this long life I have been abundantly pro vided for, have enjoyed honor enough unsought by any other means than honestly endeavoring to do· my duty to my God and my country, great health and much comfort, retaining my natural pow~rs with little diminution till about five or six years past, since when I have felt sensibly the advance of age. But I hope that goodness and mercy which have followed me through life, will not forsake me when gray 118 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND .ALLJEO FAMILIES hairs appear, but continue to conduct me down to death, after which through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the mercy of God our Saviour, I hope to obtain eternal rest and happiness.

JOHN WEST. OBITUARY. ( C 01nmunicat ed.) Died,-At Christiana Village; on. the 15th ult. Col. David Nivin, after an indisposition of seven months' continuance. His tedious sick ness he bore in general with unusual patience and resignation to the Divine will. His composure and serenity of mind was peculiarly remarkable at the time of his wife's death, which occurred about three months previous to his own. On that occasion he said, "If a single wish would bring her back to this world of suffering and trial, I ,vould not make it.'' Yet never ,vas there a man more tenderly and sincerely attached to a wife: Fe,v men have been more actively useful, more amiable or more highly respected than Col. Nivin was, in the various relations of life. A peculiar amiableness of disposition and urbanity of manners were exhibited in the whole of his intercour·se with mankind. He was the most affectionate and attentive husband, the most tender and indulgent father. In his attachment to his friends, he was sincere, ardent and unchangeable. In him was found, that which is rarely met with, a genuine and constant friend. In private and public life, in church and in state, Col. Nivin ":ras usually active and useful. For many years he ,vas conductor of the chief of the business that was transacted in the village, in ,vhich he lived; and ,vas an active promoter of its best interests, secular, moral and religious. Often was he appointed by the civil authorities to aid in the settlement of accounts and claims bet,veen his fello,v citizens; and in such cases the most implicit confidence was placed in his capacity, judgment and integrity. At different timesh:e occupied some FAMILY OF DAVID EVANS, NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DEL. 129 of the most respectable stations military and civil. The year in ,vhich he died, he was a member of the Legislature of the State. But it ,vas in hospitality, benevolence and charity, that Col. Nivin's character shone in its peculiar lustre. His heart ever glowing with benevolence, and warm with affection, his door was always open for the reception, and his table liberally furnished for the entertainment of strangers and friends. From every look, and every action too, it ,vas evident that he did not entertain them thru mere form or vain obstentation, but "\\'ith a cordial and hearty ,velcome. In contributions for purposes of private and public charity, he was always foremost, and al,vays set a laudable example of the cheerful and liberal benefi cence. "The I.Jord loveth a cheerful giver." To the relief of the poor, , the support of the church, to Bible and Missionary Societies, and every charitable and religious object, he gave with the utmost promptitude and cheerfulness. Meanness of Spirit, contractedness of disposition occupied no place in his heart, formed no part of his character. In the death of Col. Nivin the poor have lost one of their best friends-the church one of her most liberal supporters-the State one of her most active and useful citizens-and benevolence and charity one of their brightest examples. Died at Christiana on Saturday the 9th Inst. Mrs. Tabitha Nivin, the wife-- of Col. David Nivin. For a number of years she was the subject of a pulmonary-consumption and experienced all the distressing and afflicting concomitants of that dis~ase. All these however she bore with the utmost patience, resignation and even cheerfulness. Of her afflictions and expected dissolution she often talked with composure and placid serenity. _ 1'Irs. Nivin had been for many years a professor of religion and adorned her profession, not, it is true, by the more conspicuous and brilliant graces, but by those that are equally evincive of a gracious state, by her peculiar meekness and humility, and a uniform swavity of disposition and peacefulness of deportment. She "ras never kno,vn to have an angry dispute ,vith any of her neighbours or fell ow chris tians. We know not that she ever had an enemy, or that any person ever spoke evil of her. Fame's foul tongue dared not assail her irreproachable character. If blessings are pronounced on the meek, humble and peaceful, we have reason to believe that she is an heir of these blessings. 130 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAMILIES "Bless'd are the meek, who stand afar, From rage and passion, noise and war; God ,vill secure their happy state And plead their cause against the great.'' By her peaceful disposition and conduct Mrs. Nivin plainly showed that the Gospel, which she had embraced was the Gospel of peace and that her Saviour was the Prince of peace, swaying his powerful sceptre over all unruly, turbulent and angry passions, hushing them into silence and tranquility. Her swavity of disposition and peacefulness of deportment administered constant and severe reproof to noisy, fretful, morose and turbulent christians. They taught in plain and impressive language that angry contentions, impetu·ous zeal, and violent ungoverned passions are totally inconsistent with a genuine profession of the religion of Jesus, who was "meek and lowly," and ,vho, ,vhen "He was reviled, reviled not again.'' Mrs. Nivin was a very affectionate wife, a peculiarly tender mother, very kind, affectionate to friends and benevolent to all. With the poor and distressed her heart always sympathized; and to their relief her hands, as far as she had ability and opportunity, liberally administered. She was in reality the friend of the poor. She did not say: ''Be ye warmed and be ye clothed''; but she actually fed the hungry and clothed the naked. But notwithstanding all her amiableness of disposition and deeds of charity, she still felt and confessed herself a sinner, and placed her whole reliance for pardon and acceptance with God, upon the merits and atonement of Christ. This reliance was her solace and support under the pressure of a sense of sin and guilt-her consolation in her many afflictions-and, we confidently trust, her passport to Heaven, ,vhere freed from all sorrow and sin, ·her happy spirit, we humbly believe, is now perfectly blessed in the full enjoyment of ineffable happiness and endless glory.

FAMILY OF JOHN EVANS, OF WEST NOTTINGHAM TOWNSHIP, CHESTER CouNTY, PA. John Evans of West Nottingham Township, Chester County, Pa., was an early settler in Chester ·county. His nationality ha.s not been determined. All of his children intermarried with Scotch-Irish fami lies; and in the next generation, the intermarriages with the families of Gallagher, Ferguson, Alxander Boyd, Patterson, Ross, ~IcCullough, etc., would indicate that he wa.s a native-, of Ireland. His eldest son, John Evans, named a son David, and it is probable that John Evans and David Evans ( or Nivin) were brothers, or closely related. 1. John Evans; b. --; d.1738; bur.

' 'John Evans was the proprietor of a copper mill on the Big Elk River, directly west of Cowanstown. The copper used in covering the hull of the U. S. S. Frigate 'Constitution' and other vessels of the United States Navy, ,vas rolled in his mill, which was built in 1810. ''At this time there was only one other copper mill in the United States, which mill was in Massachusetts and was owned by Paul Revere (of Longfellow fame). John Evans obtained valuable information from Revere about the manufacture of copper, but probably owing to the lack of scientific knowledge, the business was not profitable. '' Mr_~ Evans procured the services of a man from Baltimore, who understood what was called 'pickling' the sheets after they were rolled. This operation consisted in moistening them with a liquid which removed the black scale which covered the surface, and brought out the copper color. Labor- was cheap at that time, but this man received $16 a day, probably owing to the fact that it was impossible to fill his place by any one who understood the secret of making the liquid he used in brightening the copper. This copper probably came from Orange County, Va., or Washington County, Pa._, there being mines at that time in the Blue Ridge..

The immigrant ancestor of this family was David Davis, ,vho with his wife Hannah, settled near Canistoga, * Chester County, Pa. A book brought o-ver by them from Wales was lately in possession of one ·of their descendants, Septimus E. Nivin, and is entitled "The British Physician, or the Virtues of English Plants, by means whereof people may gather their own physic under every hedge, or in their own garden which may be conducive to their health, so that observing the directions in this book may become their own physician, for what climate soever is subject to any particular disease in the same place there grows a· cure." (London, printed at the Black Bear and Star in St. Paul's Churchyard over against the little North Door, 1687. This is a later edition of the book printed by William Smith, Cambridge, 1663.) This book has written in it, "David Davis, His Book"; also '' Hannah ·Davis Book.'' 1. David Davis; b. 1682; d. Dec. 13, 1773, in Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pa.; m. Hannah --, b. 1702, d. Aug. 23, 1779, in Earl T~wnship. They were both members of the Welsh Tract Baptist l\feeting of Pencader Hundred, New Castle County. Hannah was received as a member, Mar. 3, 1759. Twelve miles from Lancaster, Pa.. , near New Holland, and about a mile and a half west of the Blue Ball on the Harrisburg Turnpike (the old Paxton Road) stands an ancient stone building wherein David Davis, shopkeeper, conducted his business. South of this about & quarter of a mile was his plantation on which is the "Big spring" and about one hundred yards distant is an old grave yard, and in it two tombs inscribed, ''In l\femory of David Davis, who departed this life December 13, 1773, aged 91 years;'' and '' In Memory of Hannah Davis who departed this life August 23, 1779, aged 77 years" and these lines '' My glass is run, my work is done, And I lie under ground Surrounded in clay, until the day I hear the trumpet sound.'' *This name, now spelled Conestoga, was formerly applied to the region about Lancaster, Pa., which once formed a part of Chester County.

SMITH JOHN CALDWELL. Pr. May 1, 1779 (Will Book C, Vol. 1, p. 531). An appraisement of the estate of_ Hannah Davis was made April 30, 1779, and amounted to £747-3-14. Among the items were: £ sh. d. Continental Certificate and interest ... 143 10 0 A high case of drawers ...... 40 0 0 Walnut chest with two dra,vers ...... 25 0 0 Mare and bridle ...... 33 15 0 Bonds and Cash ...... 129 10 7 Wearing apparel ...... 20 10 0 Pewter coffee pot and '' honney'' pot .. 3 0 0 Six napkins ...... ~ . . . . 5 5 0 Eleven books...... 4 0 0 Four yards "wollen" cloth ...... 20 0 0 FAMILY OF DAVID DAVIS, LA.NCASTE~ COUNTY, PA. 195 These values were in Pennsylvania currency, which had greatly depreciated. David Davis and his widow were buried on the plantation, for which he had received a patent from the State dated February 13, 1744, and which he devised to his son John. John Davis sold this farm and removed to near Mercersburg, Franklin County. Thomas Davis lived near Parkesburg, and Deborah Davis near Landenberg, Chester County. As their other children had died and these three lived at a distance, the graves of David and Hannah were neglected by their descendants for 144 years. ~Irs. Virginia Shannon Fendrick, Mer cersburg, Pa., while not a descendant, is connected with the family, as she is descended from Mrs. Mary Elliot Shannon, third ,vife of 19 Daniel Davis, 4. She is writing a genealogy of the Davis family and wrote to Dr. Edward Noble, Lancaster, Pa., asking him to visit these graves. He found the head stone of Hannah Davis broken down, had it repaired, with a plate on the back of the stone fastened with copper rivets, and had both stones reset in concrete bases. Near these head stones stands a smaller one having on it the letters ''HD,'' marking the grave of their daughter Hannah. John Davis sold this farm to -- Martin. It has not since been sold and the Martin family have for three generations there buried their dead. The house built by David Davis, and occupied by him as a dwelling- and store, is still ·used as part of the residence of Isaac Martin. '' The chest with drawers under it'' came from Wales and is now (1925) in possession_ of their great-great-great-granddaughter, Evelyn Nivin Whiteman, Wilmington, Del.

''Jenkin Evans is supposed to have been a brother to David Evans.• They caine from Wales at the same time, and bought adjoin ing land in the same year, their dwellings being but a few hundred yards apart. He purchased 108 acres December 13, 1717, from Thomas Shute. He and his wife Sarah were of the ten constituent members of Montgomery Baptist Church, organized in 1719. In 1731, he gave one acre of land, where the first church was erected, on the site of the present building. It was of stone, 24 by 42 feet, with galleries and two fire-places. The oldest stone in the churchyard with legible inscription is to the memory of Walter Evans, son of Jenkin Evans, died 1729, aged six years. His wife Sarah died, and he married Jane--. His last will is dated March 24, 1770, and proven October 31 following, and provides that his widow shall have rooms of her own in which to live after her sons may have married, to be furnished with a horse to go to meeting and other necessary places; to have one-third of his personal property and £30 and :five bushels of wheat annually. To his daughters Elizabeth, Rachel, Sarah and Mary from £20 to £25, and to Elinor £2 10s., and small legacies to his g1~andchildren Levi, Joseph, Hannah and Jemima. He bequeaths a quarto bible, Usher's Body of Divinity and Wilson's Dictionary. To his son Walter a bible, Cotten's Concordance, Bunyan's Covenant and Pilgrims' Progress. He devises his real estate to his two sons, Jenkin, Jr., and Walter. "Jen}{in Evans, Jr., was a Justice of the Peace and a member of the Legislµture from Bucks County. In 1797, he sold his share in his father's e~tate to his brother Walter. He died July 1, 1814, aged sixty-seven years. ''Walt¥ Evans married Mary--, and died July 31, 1822, aged seventy-seven years. They had children, Evan, Walter S., Jenkin J., George S., Hannah, Jane and l\lary. Of these Hannah married Evan James, and Jane married Seneca l\iorris. '' In 1823 the other heirs conveyed their interest in the real estate to Evan Evans, and in 1833 he sold it to Joel Banes after being in the family 116 years. ''Methusalah Evans is buried near David and Jenkin, and was probably another brother. He was born in Wales in 1696, and died *See John Evans, of London Britain, family, No. 20.

THE TICKING STONE. It is said that a certain tombstone in the London Tract Hardshell Baptist Graveyard will give to the ear placed flat upon it the sound of a ticking like a ·w·a tch. The I.Jon don Tract Church, as its name implies, ,vas the worshiping place of certain settlers ,vho either came from London or chose land owned by a London Company. It is a quaint edifice of hard stone, with low bent beveled roof and surrounded by a stone wall ,vhich has a shingle coping. The wall enclosed many grave stones, their inscription sho,ving that very many of the old ,vorshipers ,vere Welsh. Some large and healthy forest trees partly shade the graveyard and the grassy and sandy cross road ,vhere it stands near the hank of the pretty White Clay Creek. · This is the ticking stone, a recumbent slab ,vorn smooth and scarcely showing a trace of the former lettering, put your ear upon it and note if you hear anything. I laid my ear upon the mossy stone and almost immediately felt an audible and almost tangible ticking like that of a lady's ,vatch. It cannot be an insect nor any process of moving life in the stone or beneath it, nor is it liken to anything but the equal motion of a rather feeble timepiece. There is something real in it-The London Tract ticking stone. Once the stone ,vas taken up and the ticking then seemed to come up from the ground. In the year 1704, came a large party by order of Lord Baltimore and William Penn, to terminate a long controversy bet,veen t"\\To great landed proprietors, led by Charles l\iason and Jeremiah Dixon, and near this spot they halted to fix """ith precision the tangent point and the point of intersection of three States. Their survey ,vas reliable, the line ,vas true. Charles lVIason had spent many years experimenting \\~ith ti111epieces of his o,vn invention. In 1714, Parliament saw the necessity for an accurate portable timekeeper at sea to determine longitude, and offered a re,vard of £20,000 for such a chronometer-this was a,varded to one John Har rison, but Charles Mason ,vas known to say that a child had eaten up £20,000 belonging to him-this child ,vas Fithian l\Ierrett. One day ,vhen about two years old he was carried into the tent of Charles Mason, ,vho at that instant ,vas bending over a small metallic object ,vhich he (228) APPENDIX A 229 ,vas examining through a lens. The child clutched it and s,vallo,ved it. "·hole in an instant. He married Lois Lum. The night of th€' nuptials, he ,vas a,vakened. In the pale moonlight he sa,v his wife, clad in her garments of whiteness standing by his bed, all trembling. Tell me, she said, what is it that I hear. I. have listened till I am afraid as I lay in this room perfectly silent ,vith my head, my husband, nearest your heart I felt the ticking of a ,vatch. At first I "ras only curious and strange. I am a simple girl, new and nervous to this "'.'edded life. Is this noise natural 1 One day they found him in the graveyard- of the London Tract by the side of the spot where his ,vife ,vas interred, "rorn and asleep at the ripe age of three score and ten. Though dead he yet speaketh. (Extract from Goth Tales of the Chesapeake, George ...t\.lfred Townsend.) In this graveyard lie buried several descendants of John ...\Iden and Priscilla, the Puritan maiden, ,vho came over in the 1'Iayf:lo,ver and ,,rere made famous in Longfellow's '' Courtship of liiles Standish.'' 1Irs. Susan E. Ta,vressey, of Wilmington, Del., now living aged 90 years July 4, 1924, is a member of this church and a descendant of John Alden.

Born near Elkton, 1Id., April 25, 1780. Died at Germantown, Easter Sunday, April 4, 1858. John Strawbridge, my grandfather, emigrated from the north of Ireland about the year 1752 and settled near Back Creek, Eastern Shore of Maryland. He had previously married a widow Miller, who sur vived him to the great age of 90 years, and died in 1796 when I was about 16 years old. Of my grandfather, who died many years before I was born, I have heard only that he was a good tempered, indolent man of very moderate education. The support of her young family, three daughters and t,vo sons devolved on the energy of my grandmother, who well discharged her duty, assisted by my father, who, although a very young man, and ,vith but an imperfect education, as was common in those days, came to be considered the head of the family, and received a la~ge share of his mother's pride and affection. His attention to her, and to his sisters, and their children, was constant and untiring. In after years, his mother, with some of his nieces, or nephews, passed several months of every winter at his house, all receiving kindness, and many presents ; three or four of them were ",.ell educated by him. His mother, after forty years, was nearly as Irish in her dialect and notions as ever. She was a strict Presbyterian and very religious, yet too indulgent to her grandchildr~n. She never could bear to hear any of us scolded. Her children were Anne and liary, who married brothers, Samuel and Thomas ~Iaffitt, respectable men living near North East, Cecil County, 1faryland; Peggy who married John Lawson, and emigrated in 1787 to that part of Pennsylvania~ no,v Lycoming County, then a wilderness; they had children, of whom I have seen several. The Maffitts are very numerous, but since my father's death our intercourse has in a great measure ceased. John, my father, was the next child, and the youngest was James. Considerably before the Revolution, the family left Back Creek and owned a farm (a poor one when I saw it), three or four miles from the Pennsylvania line, and afterwards a very pretty residence. Pair Hill, (230) APPENDIX B 231 eight or nine miles east of Elkton, both places in Cecil County. I sup pose they lived comfortably; I know they ,vere very highly respected by all the old neighbors. John must ·have been greatly esteemed, as during the war, he was Sheriff of the County, and, I have heard, a liajor of ~Iilitia. It may be here noted that at this period, excepting Continental money, there was no currency but tobacco, and the rates of taxes, debts, etc., were estimated in pounds of that article, as I have seen in the Sheriff's books. It was at this time (August, 1777), when my father was circumstanced as I have described, that the British fleet, which had sailed from Ne,v York, several weeks previous, and was sup posed to be destined for Philadelphia, after various demonstrations off the Capes· of the Delaware, came into the Chesapeake, and landed a large force at Court House point, under Genl. Sir William Howe. General Washington, with the 1farquis De Lafayette, ,vas in the neigh borhood of Ne"\\l)Ort, watching and expecting his arrival in the Dela ware. My father was the first to communicate the news at Camp. After being subjected to a searching examination, he ,vas desired to accom pany Washington and Lafayette, who, attended by the Staff and escort, proceeded to Iron Hill to test the truth of his intelligence. 1Iy father rode between the two Ge·uerals; it ,vas a very hot day and he noticed that Lafayette wore long boots, but no stockings. When they attained the top of Iron Hill, a commanding eminence near Elkton, by the aid of glasses they could discern the British fleet, and encampment. The .1..i\.mericans were-brought up, several sharp skirmishes ensued, and on the 11th of September the severe and unfortunate battle of Brandywine took place, and the result ,vas the loss of Philadelphia. ,v ashington ,vas highly pleased "1~ith my father, and before they separated, urged him to accept a Captain's Commission in the Continental Army. This compliment he was compelled under all circumstances respectfully to decline. About the year 17-, my father ,vas married to Hannah Evans, daughter of George Evans, then a very respectable miller on the Brandywine. Often have I heard her tell of passing through our army with her family, they and all they could gather in a wagon, on the day before that dreadful battle was fought, and of hearing the cannon ading all day. Her description of their alarm and anxiety, and of the looks and sufferings of the poor sick and ,vounded ,vas truly graphic. '' God bless your pretty face'', said one of the· soldiers, ''don't be afraid-you'll see how we will whip the d'd rascals." In her youth my mother was very handsome, one of the best of ,vives, mothers, sisters and daughters. She remained a widow irreproachable in all her rela~ 232 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAl\IILIES tions, and died at Wilmington, Delaware, in November, 1811. As long as she lived, her house furnished an asylum for her aged father, who surviYed her six or seven years, and died in Philadelphia, 1817, ,,Thile on his way to his brothers in 1Iontgomery, Pennsylvania. His age was about 85 years. He ,vas a good man of the Baptist persuasion, and is buried in their ground of the Second St. Church. My son Stockton ought to remember these last two. At the peace of 1783, my parents removed to Philadelphia, and occupied a small house in Third Street, below J.\Iarket; my father's store "Tas on Walnut St. Wharf. They lived like most people in those days, plainly but comfortably. Notwithstand ing some heavy losses, he got on fast, and at the end of 10 years seemed desirous to arrange his affairs and go to the country; more especially there, to bring up his children. He was fond of rural life and topics, and used to entertain his family with conversation on such subjects. He was disposed to make investments in the back lands of Pennsyl vania, as they ,vere called, which in that day were thought highly of, as a mode of investment. We had a quantity of them, but they never came to much in our hands. In 1792, he was about buying a large property for himself, in Wash ington County._ This fell through and in the summer of that year he rented Peel Hall, the site of Girard College, and set about winding up his business. In August, 1793, the yellow fever made its appearance in Philadelphia. iiy father visited the city daily. On the 7th he had adjusted all, on the 9th, he " 7 as attacked, and died prepared and re signed on the 16th of September, 1793, taking leave of my mother and uncle with entire composure. Of his children, he could not bear to take leave.. I passed his door twelve hours before his death and still remem ber his face and position: he ,vas 44 years of age, of middle size, very square and stout, good face, hazel eyes, and possessed a wonderful con ~titution; he ,vas al""ays a temperate and religious man. As one of the victims of 1793, his name appears in the records of that melancholy period, as one of the most useful, benevolent citizens and intelligent, active merchants. I may mention here as the evidence of alarm and dis tress, then prevailing in Philadelphia, that in six hours my good father ".,.as hur1·ied to the grave, my uncle and t,vo Negroes alone attending him to our Arch Street ground. There is a monument with a long inscription by Dr. Green, which my mother never liked nor considered, however just, as suited to his retiring modesty. For nearly five weeks after his decease, we were shut up and nearly starved, such was the difficulty in procuring provisions. No one came near us. At last our APPENDIX B 233 grandfather George Evans came and took us to Newark, Dela,vare, where we lived six months, then removed to Wilmington, where my mother ended her days. 1Iy father had a few close city friends, but they were highly respectable; Dr. Ashbel Green, then our youn5 minister, was one of them. I do not believe there was a more liberal a:ad benvo lent 1nan. in the city. He gave largely through others, and was always retiring and unostentatious. Congress and the Legislature both met here. He kne,v many of the members, and their visits occupied most of the evenings. The events of the recent war, the Indians then hostile within 100 or 150 miles of us, '' of old times,'' stories of his family rec ords, of his youthful days, ,vith incidents of country life, were such interesting topics to me that many a tjme I had to be forced to go to bed, and leave this delightful circle. I remember two of these gentlemen, Genl. Wm. lriontgomery and Judge Allison,-on their knees I have sa.t and listened for many an hour;-when about the age of Johnny C. Browne. There " .. as another class of tale ,vhich old Grandmother told me privately, which scared me so that I remember getting a whipping for telling my father flatly, when sent to bed, "I would not go"-after ,vhich, I heard my indulgent mother say, he grieved much and tried to put an end to such doings, ,vith his mother's ancient tales and foolisl1 fables. James Strawbridge, my uncle, took charge of my father's large estate; he was a kind, honest, liberal man. About the year 1801, he embarked all he had, and our property, in some investment which proved unfortunate, and nearly the ,vhole was consumed. This, for yea1~s, occasioned hard suffe_ring ou my mother's part. James Strawbridge ,vas one of the handsomest men I ever saw; he never married, and these unto,vard events ended his days, 1806, in much trouble. I never think of him but with affection and regret. These misfortunes now seem all for the best; they sobered my high notions considtrably. From 1794, I never lived at home, though a constant visitor there. Uncle James ,vas indulgent, and I gay and extravagant, but not dissipated, for I had then as my friends and patrons, some of the best men in Philadelphia, such as Robert Ralston, Samuel Archer, Alexander Henry, etc. I was ,vell educated at Princeton College, 1797. George graduated at the same college, 1802. The others, James, Joseph and Jane, had not much chance. After considerable trouble, Mr. Ralston's partiality started me in 1802. I made two prosperous voyages to India, and settled in 1804. To these reminiscences I now only add for the benefit of my children my sincere conviction that I now for 63 years have been most favorably ~;j4 GENEALOGY OF EYA:SS, :NIVIX AND ALLIED FAl\IILIES dealt " .. ith by a kind Providence. I have committed many errors and suffered for them, but I believe never forfeited the claim to honesty and fair conduct in domestic relations, ,vhich after all is the only happy path. Few have been more desirous of discharging the moral duties of Husband and Father. This I can say truly, but to God the gracious Benefactor how far have I come short. Philadelphia .t\. pril 1843.

Lloyd, of Philadelphia.) APPENDIX C. ( See page 49.) Letter written by Jane (Strawbridge) Ledyard to her daughter. Ca.zenovia, New York April 6th 1852. Helen Lincklaen Ledyard lfy dear daughter~ It is a siormy afternoon, & I am not likely to be interrupted, so I will undertake what you have so earnestly urged me to do, and what I have felt so disinclined to engage in, a little narrative of family matters, and particular notices of those with whom I was most intimately asso ciated, and to whom I was most fondly attac.hed. Your uncle .John's account of the Strawbridge family is much more accurate and interest ing than I could have given, for I was in infancy when my father died, and of course have no recollection of him ,vhatever. Having had four sons he was delighted by the birth of a daughter, and I have been told ,vas continually calling on my name during his last hours. From all that I can learn, he waSJ a father whose memory ought ever to be revered by his children, having been one of .the noblest and best of men, in all the relations of life. His sisters, the two l\1rs. lvlaffitts, Ann and Mary, I remember perfectly well, and also their husbands and children. l[y uncle Thomas Maffitt owned a farm and mill on the North East river, Cecil Co., ~Iaryland. The situation was pleasant by the water s~de, where there ,vas a fine fishery. I recollect having seen them dra,v a sein there and catching a great quantity and variety of fish; the North East. herring are celebrated, and often sent to Philadelphia. I was often very successful in fishing there myself, just by the nrill door, with only a thread line and bent pin for a. hook; and the sight and sound and smell of the mill a.re always in my mind associated with agreeable re.collections. My Mother was several times obliged to fly from Wil mington on account of the prevalence of yellow fever, of which she felt naturally a great dread, having lost her husband by this dread malady, and suffered from an attack of it herself, subsequently. Her place of refuge was with our Maryland friends, who always made her and my self, and sometimes my younger brothers, welcome, and my visits there were very delightful. Our first stage, always brought us to Elkton, where an Aunt of my Mother's, a Mrs. Gilpin, a fine hospitable old lady, resided. She had there several married children around her, all Iona: (235) 236 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AXD ALLIED FAl\IILIES since dead, and all their children, unless it may be those of her eldest son John Gilpin, who married a. l\iiiss Hollingsworth; she was a ,vido,v "'."hen I ""us last there, and managing her young family and fa.rm most ad mirably. On the occasion of this last visit, I accompanied a young school friend, to whom I had officiated as brides-maid, (the Hon. Lewis 11cLane being the other attendant,) Maria Reading who married ,v. H. Waiel, and ,Yho took possession of the same house, modernized and improved, that had formerly been occupied by Aunt Gilpin. ~Iy uncle Samuel 1\Iaffitt lived six or eight miles from North East. He ",.as a magistrate and great politician, and had a fine family of, I think, ten children. Some of the older ones, as your Uncle John observes, had been partly educated in my father's family in Philadelphia, and seemed to be greatly attached to us. niy venerable grandmother lived here, aged ninety years. liy only recollection of her is of her calling me to her to inquire if the stumps in the fields and ,voods around the house "'."ere not men, and of my being directed to say ''yes,'' as she in her dotage believed them to be, and the family found it necessary to indulge her in such fancies. Some of the mischievous grandsons set fire to some of the stumps to satisfy or convince her they were not human beings, but this savageness ( as she thought) nearly thre,v her in hysterics. I """as named after her, and born, as I previously had forgot to say, in vValnut Street, belo,v Third, in Philadelphia, in a three-stories brick house, ,vhich stood there ,vhen I left the city. Of the llaryland relations, I had not heard for many years until last summer when }fiss Aersten of Phil~delphia visited us, and, as you may remember, told me she had occasional intercourse ,vith them, and that several of the name yet remained at North East. You have frequently heard me mention my father's only brother, Uncle James, to ,vhom I ,vas inexpressibly attac;hed; he " .. as our Guardian and as fond and indulgent, as a father. We have, you know, his mineature, given to me ,vhen a little girl. He never married, ,vas a most amiable excellent character, and the very handsomest man in face and figure my eyes ever saw. He al,vays lived in Philadelphia, at the corner of Fifth and lia.rket Streets, then a fashionable boarding house, """here he re tained his place no matter ,vho kept the house. 1Iy beloved 11other ,vas llannah Evans. She married young, was a handsome ,voman, taller than myself and of rather full habit as I recoll~ct her, and of a very florid complexion, large dark blue eyes, regular features and beautiful soft bro,vn hair, ,vhich never became gray, as was the case "rith nearly all the family, many of them at quite an early period of life. She ,vas a pious woman, a member of the Presbyterian Church but much attached APPENDIX C 237 to the Society of Friends. She passed through many trials, but had strong faith to support her, and entire submission to the Will of God. Was a person of strong mind, very energetic, active managing in her family, and a general favorite among her pleasant and large circle of friends and neighbors. She was greatly blessed in her sons, who were all dutiful, affectionate and upright and correct and did everything in their po,ver to promote her comfort and happiness. She used to remark that she had observed ''the sons of widows generally turned out well." As I said, I ,vas the youngest child and only daughter, and "the most troublesome,'' ,vhen young, to manage, but afterwards her greatest earthly comfort. She said she always felt the greatest confidence in me; I was al,vays conscientious. It is pleasant, my dear daughter, to *John Strawbridge graduated at Princeton College 1797 and died at Gern1antown, Pa., April, 1858. . tGeorge Strawbridge graduated in 1802 and died at New Orleans, La., 1859. 238 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FA~IILIES pleted his course of study, he went to New Castle, five miles below Wilmington, to be near us, and with the hope of there pursuing his profession. Business came slowly, he had no other means of support, so after my Mother's death, he quit practice and went out super cargo for brother John, but previously passed many months in Western Pennsylvania to look after lands belonging to the family, and which had been neglected until necessity obliged us to sell off tract after tract for support. After this, George went abroad several voyages, and was quite fortunate until the last one, when the vessel he was .in was captured by an English frigate, and he was detained prisoner abroad six months, but at length landed at Georgetown, N. C., where he formed many pleasant acquaintances, and was treated with great hospitality, and when leaving was supplied with a variety of nice things for the return voyage. Soon after, he engaged in manufacturing, which proved so profitable that he felt encouraged to settle down at a pleasant place near Frank ford, and married Miss Fanny Hepburn. Immediately afterwards, peace was declared, and the manufactory (when they had contracts from Government to make cloth for the Army) was no longer to be depended upon. He .wade other experiments, but only to experience other reverses of fortune, until at length he was induced to go to New Orleans, about the year 1824, and resumed his profession, and, after reading the Napoleon Code, engaged very successfully in practice, and ,vas enabled to educate his children, and afford them every advantage. He yet lives there, highly respected and esteemed, and last Summer, as you know, we had the pleasure of seeing him here in good health and spirits. He has ever been distinguished for his perseverance and integrity, has of late years been tTudge of the Supreme Court, and afterwards of the Commercial Courts, but now about retiring to private life. James, my third brother, had a plain English education, and was not of studious habits, but very steady, healthy and industrious. He chose to enter into one of the celebrated Brandywine mills as an appren tice, and remained there until he had a thorough knowledge of the business, but the dust of the mill irritated his lungs, (as was often the case) and he was obliged to quit, and, as there was no other opening for him, he went to sea before the mast in one of brother John's ships, and ,vas soon advanced to the rank of mate, when somehow returning from England in a British vessel, passenger, the ship was captured by the French, and he with others thrown into the fortness of Cherbourg, on the coast, exposed to the chill sea air passing through a grated window, and there remained t,vo or three months-until the family heard of the APPENDIX C 239 situation, through the Government, or our Consul there, and had him released. He returned with impaired health, and died at Philadelphia after I went there to reside, about the year 1814. Joseph, my youngest brother, had classical school education, went early into a Counting house in Philadelphia, was very closely confined and growing rapidly, he became weak and disabled, and was advised to try a Sea voyage, he made a trip to 11artinique, enjoyed it, and "\\'"as benefi.tted so much that he concluded to go again, and having obtained a very desirable berth as assistant Super Cargo aboard a fine ship, ,vent to Canton and gave great satisfaction to his employers by his steadiness and capacity. I have many of his letters, written, as you know, in the most beautiful manner. On the return voyage, near home, his health gave way, and, after lingering several months, he died at home, in the 19th year of his age. This was my first great sorrow. l\Iany others rapidly followed. Among those was the sudden death of brother John's lovely wife, leaving an infant, and Stockton, a pale delicate boy, two years old. l\fy !1other brought them to our house, where she devoted herself to the infant, and I to the frail looking boy, who immediately attached himself to me, and we were rarely separated for years after-,vards. At eighteen months old, the infant died, but Stockton remained in Wilmington with us, (his father had again married, to 1Iiss Frances Taylor) until my Mother's death in November, 1812. Immediately after, I went to reside in my brother's family, at Philadelphia, until I married your father, in 1819. My home there was a most pleasant one, as my Sister Fanny was an estimable woman and did everything in her po,ver to place me at ease and render me liappy in her home. lvly beloved Mother, had always enjoyed good health, and had an excellent constitution, but taking cold at a critical period of life, fell ,vith ill health, through which I nursed her eighteen months, when she was made willing to leave us to the care of that God, in whom she had so long put her trust. It was a great trial to leave \Vilmington. All my early attachments and associations ,vere formed there. It is a beautiful place, the society ,vas of a superior sort, many old settled respectable families, many of the Quakers, many 1iarylanders, who came to educate their children, the schools being excellent, many people educated and agreeable, who lived there because it ,vas retired and suited to moderate incomes. And a great many French emigrants, both from the Continent and West Indies, who built handsome houses and made beautiful gardens. I paid two visits after our family was broken up there, but they were sad and melancholy ones, though I was received in the most cordial manner by 240 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED F Al\ULIES our old friends and neighbors. I have an irresistible desire to go there once more, but will not probably accomplish such an excursion, and perhaps it is best that I should not. My last one was probably thirty six years ago. I hope one of these days you may get there, my dear child, though perhaps you might be disappointed in the place. Of course it is greatly changed, and then we have been so accustomed in this country to fine scenery that it might suffer by comparison. Your uncle John, you are aware has always remained in Philadelphia, has had various changes and trials, but has always been highly esteemed and respected by his old friends and connections, has had fine health and retained his natural gaiety of disposition. He is a talented, well educated man; was in youth very handsome, had all the beauty of the family. I ,vill not enumerate or mention the younger branches. Your cousins, with ,vhom you are individually acquainted, all are correct and respectable and none have brought trouble or disgrace upon the name. I am sorry I have not arranged these reminiscences in a more con nected manner. I must, however, endeavor to give you an account of my mother's family from recollection, aided from my friend Miss Lovering's notes-you must carefully preserve these notices of hers. From them we learn the ancestors of the Gilpins (my maternal grand mother's name) came from England in 1696, among those embarkations which were invited to emigrate and settle in Pennsylvania under the immediate patronage of William Penn. They ,yere driven by stress of weather into James River, Virginia, but afterwards arrived at their place of destination on the Brandywine, twelve or fifteen miles above "\Vilmington, where, as there \\""ere no buildings, they were obliged ( until they could provide better quarters) to live in a Cave. This cave is yet preserved, and is on a farm occupied by one of the descendants of the same name. I believe it is in the neighborhood of Chadd's Ford, where the memorable battle was fought. I ~egret that I have not visited it. This Joseph Gilpin and Alice (Hannah) his wife (he was born 1664-, died 1741) came over, as I remarked, in 1696. He had two children before leaving England-a daughter and son-this son was our ances tor. He afterwards had thirteen children and of course the number of descendants is hnmense and scattered far and wide. Many o~ them were Quakers as their progenitors were, and all prided themselves upon being ''descendants of the Cave''. When a child I used occasionally to go to a druggist's store in Wilmington-kept by an eccentric ·old man, by the name of Webster, who always asked my name, and when told who I was, invariably replied '' Ah, thee ~s one of the Cave; thy APPENDIX C 241 scissors will cut sharp.'' But to return to Samuel, eldest son of Joseph Gilpin, born as supposed in Dorchester, England, married in Philadel phia, Jane, daughter of John Parker, whose mother's name Doe, she who marked the sampler, now in my possession, and presented the old blue and silver smelling bottle to her daughter-in-law, Jane Parker, my great grandmother, so that I am named after grandmother on one side and great grandmother on the other side, the daughter of Richard Doe who came from France to avoid persecutions there. Samu.el Gilpin settled, after marriage, at Nottingham, Maryland, and had six children -the youngest of whom, Rachel, was my mother's mother-her initials are upon our old silver sugar bowl. She married George Evans. I am sorry I do not know more of his, my grandfather's family; I think he had two or three brothers, one was a Judge in Pennsylvania, one a farmer in Montgomery County and there may have been another-I recollect the daughter of the Judge dying, possessed of some property, and leaving to my mother £50 pounds and a silver cream jug, perhaps the one I now have, but am not certain, as there was another-a larger one. The old silver ladle we use is, I believe, her father's. It is marked J. M. E. (John and Mary Evans). lvfy grandfather George Evans was an active man during the Revolutionary War, held various offices, ~as a Commissary, and afterwards a Colonel, and was called Colonel Evans; was in many engagements. I used to sit in a little chair by his side, and listen to his account of the "War", a.nd particularly remember his speaking of the Battle of Princeton, where his coat-tail was shot off by a cannon ball, and of his describing the sensation, the shock being so great that he at first thought he had lost a limb. He is mentioned in a printed notice in my possession as having by his activity and patriotism made himself very obnoxious to the British, who, when in possession of Wilmington, were anxious to secure himself and family as hostages, but they were secreted for a time by their friends, and afterwards, one at a time, removed to the country. He was an excellent, upright man, but as I recollect him, rather melancholy, having lost his wife and seven children. He resided with my mother for many years, who made him as comfortable as possible. He sur vived her a few years, living the latter part of his life with his brother in Montgomery County, making occasional visits to us at Philadelphia. Through the kindness of your uncle-you have the genealogy of the ---- & Ledyard families for many years, and some account of the Strawbridge f arnily by your uncle John, and here all that I know of my maternal ancestors, so that you know nearly as much as most in 242 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAMILIES this Republic of "your great forbears", and I earnestly hope that my much loved family may bring no stain upon this creditable descent, and that God may bless and strengthen them to walk in His fear, and uprightly in their intercourse with their fell ow beings, and to be useful members of society is the prayer of, Your affectionate Mother JANE LEDYARD.

Freemansburg Road, Easton, Pa. 25 April 1925. S. E. Nivin, Esq., Landenburg, Pa. My dear Mr. Nivin: I was very much interested in looking over your book, ''Evans, Whitting, Davis," but take friendly issue with you as to the origin of the name Nevin and Niven. There is no official documentary proof of the spelling "Nivin" in Scotland (as far as I have been able to find in the Register House, Edinburgh). I will quote briefly from my Ms ( in course of preparation): The surname Nevin is of ancient and Irish origin, and first appears in the second century, A. D., as Cnajmbin (mh=v), King of Munster. Two derivatives are given, one-a servant or disciple of the saint, the other-cnaimh ; Irish, a bone, with the diminutive suffix; in.1 In the sixth century, the name appears in the form of GlasNevin (mound or hill of Nevin), a celebrated school near Dublin, and the death of an Abbot of GlasNevin is recorded by the Annalists in 882.2 M·ac Cnaimbin or Mac Nevin, in the 11th century, were chiefs of a district called Crannog Mac Nevin, in the parish of Tynagh, barony of Leitrim, county Galway.3 etc. Nevin, so far as known first appears in Scotland in 1188, Charter of Lennox, and in 1296, Patrick son of John Nevin signs the Ragman Roll, swearing fealty- to Edward I., he is given as from Lanark. The theory is that Nevin crossed from Ireland to Wales, founded there the town of Nevin (Caernarvonshire), and became followers of that Mo~tgomerie who accompanied the Earl of Huntington to Scotland, 1 O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees.

I have copies of all the Charters entailing these estates, also wills and marriage contracts of Monkredding &c and where they have written the name themselves it is invariably Nevin or N eving. Monkredding is now in the possession of a direct lineal descendant of Hugh Cunningham of Clonbeith, who purchased it from William Nevin. I have copy of original bill of sale. My family visited Monkred ding last summer. On page 81 * of your book, '' Clonbirth'' should be Clonbeith. Same page fourth line from bottom, Greenock, not '' Greentime,'' third line, ''Christiana,'' Christine is given in the marriage contract. III. Thomas Nevin, married Jean Shaw, dau. of John Shaw of Greenock. Her sister, Elizabeth Shaw, married Hugh Montgomery, first viscount of the Ards. The inventory on page 81 is from the will of this Thomas, not IV Thomas. V. Thomas Nevin, married Helen Edmonston, dau of Archibald Edmonston of Duntreath, M.P. for Stirling. &c Page 82, Thomas I\T was nephew of the first viscountess Montgom ery of the Ards. Thomas III, married her sister, as above. Andrew Nevin II of Monkredding married Jean Montgomery, dau of Adam IV of Braidstane. Adam V of Braidstane was father of Hugh, the :first Viscount. Page 82, '' On coming to the Adrs, it is certain that the Nivins &c" I have corresponded with the present Si1 Daniel De la Cherois, also with members of the county Down arid county Antrim Nevins, they write that all the family of those counties spell the name Nevin, that there is no record of Nivin. The granddaughter of Robert S, Nicholson, ,vho has the notes quoted by Hill in the MontgomP.ry Ms, writes me that in the wills and papers in her possession the name is written Nevin. Have you in your research ever come across a Daniel Nevin, who married a Margaret Eagles, in New York City, 29 October 1743! They had a son Daniel Jr who came to Cumberland county, Pa. where he married in 1770, Margaret Williamson, She was born in Chester county, or rather on the line of Chester and Lancaster counties, Octorara Creek, *The corrections noted in this letter refer, of course, to page numbers in the original edition. For page 81, read pages 102-3; for page 82, read 103. APPENDIX D 245 in 1741. Her brother was Hugh Williamson M.D. LL.D. a signer of the Constitution. There was a Daniel Niven and son Daniel, who lived in Newburgh, N. Y. but they are of a different family, came from the island of Islay, Scotland. I would greatly appreciate any data, if you should have it, of Daniell, or any information that would lead to him. Daniel II, above, had sons David and John. The tradition is that the father of Daniel I, lived in N. Y., and that his brother came to Penn sylvani~. Could this be your David Evans (Nevan in Pa Archives) who came to Pa, while John his brother and father of Daniel I. stayed in N. Y.? and not John Evans as you state on page 122. Awaiting with interest your reply, I am, Very truly yours, (Signed) J. D. NEVIN. JOHN D. NEVIN. The Arms granted to various families of Nevin, liacNevin, Niven and MacNiven, are of Irish origin, only one grant being registered in H. :O!. General Register House, Edinburgh, Lyon Register, "\7ol. I, Folio 380, &c. As to Niven, Harrison gives: NIVEN (Celt). A contraction of Gilniven, the Gaellic and Irish Giollanaoimhen (mh=v), meaning a servant or disciple of the saint. (Gaellic, gille; Irish giolla = servant, disciple+ the genitive of naomh, a saint + the diminutive suffix, en). NIVENS, NIVENSON, NIVINSON, NmsoN = N1vEN's sons. 1\1:acNiven = - son of Niven. ''MacNiven-Niven. A sept of Clan McNaughton. The Mac Nivens used to be located about Loch A we, and there is an island on Loch More (Craignish) named MacNiven Island. It is interesting·to note that the MacNivens appeared to have remained in the province of Moray (Elgin), after their chiefs, the McNaughtons, had removed fur ther south, and to have occupied the old McNaughton Castle of Dun nachtan, in Strathspey. '' ''MacNiven-Niven. A sept of Clan Macintosh. William,· chief of Macintosh, married Isabel MacNiven, heiress of Dunnachtan. ''MacNiven-Niven. A sept of Clan Cumming. The l\'1acNivens of Breachachie were a sept of the Cummings of Badenoch, who were almost annihilated by their neighbors the McPhersons, as the result of a clan feud.'' (James 1\IcKinley, personal letter to William Niven, Mexico City, Mexico, &c.) 246 GENEALOGY OF EVANS, NIVIN AND ALLIED FAMILIES In a charter of Mackintosh the name is spelt as follows: "De Gulielmo Domine Makintosh XIII. Guliemus Lauchlani Badionachensis filius et Ferquhardie patruelis matrimoniali copula conjnnctus est Isobellae ~Iakneven Baroniae de Dunachtown haeretrical Anno 1497 • . . &c. In. Fairbairn's Crests, ''Niven of Aberdeen, these arms show the original Irish grant combined with the arms of Mackintosh." The above families are separate and distinct from the f aroily of Auldhall and Kirkwood from whom came Monkredding and the Shet land branches. Freemansburg Road, Easton, Pa. 24/May/25 Mr. Septimus E. Nivin, Landenburg, Pa. My dear Mr. Nivin. Your very interesting letter received, you are perfectly welcome to use my letter in any way you see fit. I note that your pioneer ancestor probably came from County Antrim in Ulster. Dr. James L. Nevin of Ballymoney, County Antrim, wrote me sometime ago in regard to the County Antrim Nevin families, as follows: "Now as to the different families having the same name in county Antrim, it is true many of them lived 'in sight of the Giants' Causeway.' Families named Nevin have lived for many years at Cloyfin, near Coleraine, also at Portstewart, and at Kilmoyle and Carnaff, in the parish of Derrykeighan. A Nevin family reside near Kilmoyle (the first settlement of our branch) and there is a general belief that they are distantly related to us but it cannot be traced and yet their burying ground in Derrykeighan Old Churchyard is coterminus with ours. A Nevin family have resided for many years at Claughey townland about three miles to the south of Ballymoney and both in the last and present generations they have intermarried with our branch. There is no his tory of any degree of consanguinity between them and yet members of the family tell me there are striking points of resemblance.'' I would appreciate very much a copy of your supplement when it is completed. With best wishes, J. D. NEVIN. INDEX *Indicates Marriage Abell, M. H., *2o8. Atwell, Martha Nivin, 143, Beck, Emma, *222.
