I have what appears to be a handwritten transcription of the records of Concord Monthly Meeting and probably other Monthly Meetings which I do not have. On Page 453 is the following: Richard Woodward of Westtown, son of Robert of Rockland Manor, born 12-17-1673. Immediately under that line was: Mary Nail, dau. of Henry Nayle, Eeq (also written Neal), born Sept 24.1684. On the next line is: (d.i.7-10 and 8-8-1705) married before 9-12-05.

Morgan James,of Radnor,and Elizabeth Prytherch,of the same township, were married 11-1-1694,at Radnor Meeting.No other James signed the marriage certificate,and it is probably,according to the Welsh custom, that he was the son of someone whose first name was James.A brother, Thomas James,lived in Whiteland township but left no children.Elizabeth Prytherch was the daughter of Evan Prytherch (also written Prothero and Protherah) and Elizabeth (Thomas?) his wife.George Thomas,the owner of 200 acres of land in Newtown,devised the same to his cousin (niece?)

Here is the will of a possible Charles...died the same time. HUMPHREY, CHARLES. Moreland, Philadelphia County. Husbandman.February 11, 171/2. March 10, 1721/2. D. 301.Wife Uriah. Sons, Thomas and Charles, daughter Hannah. Trustees and Administrators: Henry Comly and Thomas Gill.Witnesses: Richard Marple, Evan Stephens and Silas Watts. I looked under Chester early court records ...up to 1710...and, while there were several Humphrey/Humphreys/Humphry mentioned, there is no Charles. His name also doesn't appear on the tax records I have...before his death. backround on the Hephzibah Baptist Church... Hephzibah Baptist church About 1720, Rev. Owen Thomas, who had come from Wales and settled inVincent in 1707, was the first Baptist minister who worked regularly inNewlin Twp. He preached at John Bentley's house. Richard Buffington, in his will of 1747-8 gave 5 lb to Owen Thomas, minister of the "AnnabaptistSociety", and 20 lb to the society. After the death of John Bentley, themeetings were held at the house of his son Jeffrey Bentley, who in 1752 gave a lot of ground and built a meeting-house, at which Rev. Owen Thomas first preached in Oct. 1752. His ministry ceased in 1759, due to "bodily infirmities", and he was replaced by Rev. Abel Griffith, who ministered until 1767, when he went on a missionary tour to New England. Jeffrey Bentley, on the death of his father, was made a deacon. In 1775, Rev. Griffith returned and resumed his pastorship, but resigned in 1791 and moved to KY. (at this time, there were 49 members of the congregation, a bit growth from the original # of 15)! Next came Rev. Joshua Vaughan, till 1808, and the membership doubled. So the old meeting house became toosmall, and a new one was built, where it stands today (1889)... The first burial in the Hephzibah burial-ground was Rachel Thomas, April 16, 1793. The website for American Baptist Churches is www.crds.edu/abhs.This is the site for American Baptist-Samuel Colgate Historical Library. They have in their archives microfilm for Brandywine Baptist Church 1699-1881 and original records for Hephzibah 1707 to 1834. --- Original Message ----- From: D. Krogh To: ferg@ntelos.net Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 7:46 AM Subject: Re: Hephzibah Baptist Church Sandra, I am looking for information on Charles Humphrey, died about 1720. He may have been from Wales but not really sure. Jacob Humphrey would have been a grandson and an early member of the Hephzibah Baptist Church. And I have ran across other Humphrey families in Philadelphia which may or may not have a connection to my Humphrey family. Really not sure, but if there is a connection it is probally a generation or so back. There was a Charles Humphrey that voted against the Declaration of Independence and he could be distantly related.
