Marple hasn't been part of Chester since sometime n the 1780s, when it became part of Delaware Co. Unfortunately, there is a world of Taylor info out there, so post some of your given names to go with the surname (with some dates, even if approximate) and let us see what we can find.....much easier than our having to try posting all the Taylor info we might find in books/CDs.......WAY too much for that!

Here is the current information about Thomas Pierson, the Surveyor from the Mendenhall Family Association and from the Abraham Woodward Home Page http://www.mendenhall.org/mfa/tng/getperson.php?personID=I05376&tree=Mendenhall Rose Pierson, daughter of Thomas and Rose (Dixon) Pierson; married Aaron Mendenhall, s/o John & Elizabeth (Maris) Mendenhall; and I descend from the son, Thomas & Rose (Dixon) Pierson through their son, James Mendenhall md. 2ndly, Hannah Thomas., James & Hannah migrated fron E. Caln, Chester Co., PA>Guilford Co., NC>Wrightsborough Quaker Colony, GA, where James died and is buried. Hannah (Thomas) Mendenhall returned to NC. James first wife was Martha Griffith, in PA. See: http://www.mendenhall.org/mfa/tng/getperson.php?personID=I01975&tree=Mendenhall James Joseph Mendenhall Rose's sister was Sussana Person md. John Mendenhall II, brother of Aaron. When I first started my genealogy in 1998, my son & I did a lot of research about Thomas Pierson, Surveyor for William Penn. At that time, there was information on the Mendenhall Website. I have some of this buried away. His ship did get into the Wicomico River on the Maryland Eastern Shore. Wicomico is an Indian name and so there are numerous Wicomico Rivers in both Maryland and Virginia, which are in proximatey to the Chesepeake Bay & the Atlantic Ocean. At the time that we did this study, my son was anticipating moving to Maryland with his job; and now we both live here. St. Mary's County, MD has its own story of the Arc & the Dove, 1634 under a land grant by the English Crown to the Catholic CALVERT Family (the ruling Calvert was known as "Lord Baltimore".) Over the years, I have also been in touch with Researchers of the Abraham Woodward Home Page, because of the descendents of Aaron & Rose (Pierson) Mendenhall. *********************************************** http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/4038/Pearson.html Thomas Pierson (Pearson) Families -------------------------------------------- Abraham Woodward Home Page The Thomas Pierson of particular interest to us came from England to Chester County, Pennsylvania, purportedly with William Penn. He was deputy surveyor to William Penn. The name is alternately spelled Pearson. From Fiske's Dutch & Quaker Colonies, quoted in the biography of descendant Nereus Mendenhall, comes the following quaint legend: "Turning to his friend and shipmate, Thomas Pearson, he (William Penn) said 'Providence has brought us here safe. Thou hast been the companion of my perils. What wilt thou that I call this place?''Call it Chester,' replied Pearson, who had come from that most quaint and beautiful city of old England." It is simply, a quaint legend (or connected to the wrong Thomas Pierson - see below)! The Mendenhall Web Site contains a copy of a ledger, found in the Historical Society in Pennsylvania, where Pierson documents two trips to America. One was started on the 14th day of 7th month 1676 in company with William Dixon, brother of his future wife Rose. On the 14th day of the 12th month in 1681 he started back for England, and then 25th day of July in 1683 he sailed again in the Comfort for America. In other words he never sailed with William Penn. From some postings on Genforum we learn that the parents of Thomas Pierson were possibly Laurence & Elizabeth Barnhill Janney Peirson/Pierson, and the parents of Rose Dixon were Henry & Rose Harlan Dixon. Since we do not know the source of the information, we cannot vouch for its accuracy. Henry Dixon was supposedly born in Lurgan, Armagh, Ireland, so the family was probably of the Quakers who had fled England to Ireland. The Mendenhall Web Site also contains a copy of a document signed by William Penn nominating Thomas Pierson of County NewCastle to perform a survey. Thomas Pierson was Deputy Surveyor for William Penn for many years. From Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania, 1682-1750, Thomas Pierson married Rachel Sharpley 8th month 1686 at Newark Meeting. She died 7 mo 2nd day, 1687 and is buried at Newark. She probably died in childbirth given the dates. He married (2)Rose Dixon supposedly in 1690, although that does not fit with the birth of daughter Susannah. Rose Dixon born unknown died Chester Co, Pa Thomas Pierson born Chester, England died 9/29/1722 Chester Co, Pa Married: Chester County, Pennsylvania Children: Susannah Pierson born 10/1689 Chester County, Pennsylvania; married John Mendenhall Rose Pierson born 6/16/1693 Concord, Chester County, Pennsylvania; married Aaron Mendenhall We have not researched this family extensively. Some of our information comes from a Quaker biography of a descendant, Nereus Mendenhall, amended from other sources as above. The parent of Nereus was James Mendenhall who immigrated to North Carolina at the same time as Abraham Woodward,and perhaps with Abraham, as they were distantly related. James Mendenhall was son of Aaron & Rose Pierson Mendenhall. His brother Aaron Mendenhall, Jr. was brother-in-law of Abraham Woodward . Susannah Pierson is also connected to our Woodward family. She married John Mendenhall (John & Aaron were brothers), and a descendant of theirs married Abraham Woodward's grandson, Benjamin Woodward. The Nereus Mendenhall biography also tells us of another daughter, Sarah Pearson, married to John West, but once again it was incorrect. The son of John & Sarah Pearson West, Sir Benjamin West, was a famous artist. In a painting "Elm Tree Treaty" he depicted Thomas Pierson, the surveyor, standing near William Penn holding a map in his hand. This painting may have led to the error in the Mendenhall biography that Sarah was a daughter of Thomas Pierson, the surveyor. It is proven that she was the daughter of Thomas and Margery Pearson, more below. Thomas Pierson died intestate so we do not know the names of all his descendants for sure. There is a copy of his inventory of personal goods and account upon his estate, taken in the township of Caln in Chester County, on the Mendenhall Web Site. Since the family of Thomas and Rose Dixon Pierson was very small for the time, it seems possible that Rose died early. There has been confusion with another Thomas Pearson/Pierson of Marple. Thomas Pearson of Marple had a wife Margery Smith, and died about 1734. His will was proven 25 March 1734, and a copy is posted on the Chester County Will Forum. Merry Anne Pierson {email} kindly set us straight on this matter, and provided the will. She is researching a Samuel Pearson but cannot find a connection to these families. If anyone can help, please contact Merry Anne. Thomas names Sarah West, wife of John West in his will. Another tempting lead came from Colonial Families of Philadelphia naming Thomas Pearson, with a daughter Susannah, as one of the founders of the Darby Library in 1743. Given our erudite Thomas Pierson, we had hoped to find this Thomas Pearson as a son, but so far can find no connection. We searched land deed abstracts up through 1753 hoping to find some land transcations for our Thomas Pierson in connection with his estate but found none, although we found many for the Thomas Pearson married to Margery. We tend to believe our Thomas then did not have additional children and had settled land on his sons-in-law before his death. One thing notable in the deed search was that the name was seen pretty consistently as Pierson before 1700 and pretty consistently as Pearson after 1700.

I am interested in knowing more about the following items that appeared in a previous email. the passengers of the "Endeavour" of London, George Thorpe, master; arriving 29th of the 7th month in 1683. The names Howells and Taylor was mentioned. What can you tell me about each of these names? Do you have first names? Do you have any family lines that you could pass onto me to examine? Also, I am interested to know where "Marple" is located in reference to today? Is it in New Jersey and about what location? We have our Taylor line back to pre-Revolution but cannot make any other connections. I am very interested in what Taylor information you may have. Thank you Sharon

Nadine I won't ask about your two mistakes but you may be right about it being a legend.I found this. Among the passengers on the "Endeavour," of London,George Thorp, master,which arrived here the 29th of 7 mo.,1683,beside the Howells and Taylors above mentioned,were Thomas Pearson and Margery his wife,the grandparents of Benjamin West,who came from Pownall,in Cheshire;also John Pearson,his brother,and Mary Smith,his wife's sister.These two doubtless came as servants in order to get their 50 acres each,and a warrant for that amount was granted Oct.6,1683.The land was located in Marple.

Naming of Chester Prior to the arrival of William Penn the settled part of the province was known as Upland County, with the seat of justice at Upland, now Chester, where courts had been held at least from 1676. "A letter addressed to Ephraim Herman, in respect to summoning a Court to be held at New Castle on the 2d of November, and dated at Upland on the 29th of October, shows that William Penn had then arrived at his seat of government. He may have arrived the day before. The fancy of the artist has portrayed the landing of Penn at Upland; but neither the hour, the day, nor the manner of his landing, is certainly known." Dr. George Smith, in the History of Delaware County, continuing and quoting from Clarkson, says: "He landed at Upland, but the place was to bear that familiar name no more forever. Without reflection Penn determined that the name of the place should be changed. Turning round to his friend Pearson, one of his own Society, who had accompanied him in the ship Welcome, he said, 'Providence has brought us here safe. , Thou hast been the companion of my perils. What wilt thou that I should call this place?' Pearson said 'Chester,' in remembrance of the city from whence he came. William Penn replied that it should be called Chester, and that when he divided the land into counties one of them should be called by the same name.

There was quite a herd of Joseph Talbots. This one is documented as the son of Joseph and Hannah Baker Talbot in the below item. The death date of 1807 is given and he married Hannah Pennell. Nadine Holder According to Cope, Gilbert (compiler), Genealogy of the Sharples Family, Descended from John and Jane Sharples, Settlers near Chester, PA 1682, (Philadelphia, 1887, Published for the Family, under the auspices of the Bi-Centennial Committee), p. 275-- "John Talbot, the grandfather of Jacob, is said to have come from England and settled in Middletown about the year 1700, and he was certainly here in 1710. John Turner, perhaps the brother or father of John Talbot's wife, bought of Joshua Hastings, Oct. 30, 1718, 268 acres of land in Middletown, near the Friends' Meeting-house, and conveyed one-half thereof Nov. 22, 1718, to John Talbot. The latter made his will June 12, 1721, which was proven July 22, 1721, in which he mentions his wife, Mary (also calls her Elizabeth), and children Mary, Joseph, Benjamin, John, Elizabeth, Sarah, Rachel and one unborn (Hannah). John Turner devised the other half of his purchase to Benjamin Talbot, but the will was probably declared void, and cannot be found. Joseph Talbot, as heir at law of John Turner, released the land to his brother Benjamin, Apr. 26, 1734, but in 1741, purchased it from him, having previously taken the land of his father, and thus became the owner of all the Turner tract. He also purchased from William Hill June 10, 1738, 98 acres in Middletown, which was the same that had been cut off the original Sharples survey as overpluus land; and this he conveyed, Jan. 22, 1741-2, to Edward Grisell (Griswold), whose eldest son and heir, Thomas Grisell, conveyed it April 5, 1754 to Samuel Sharples. Joseph Talbot was first married about 1732 to Hannah, dau. of Joseph and Mary Baker of Thornbury. Her father was the son of Joseph and Mary Baker of the same place and her mother the dau. of John and Ann (Maris) Worrilow, of Edgmont. Her mother had married a second Husband, Dr. John Taylor, who purchased and settled on the land of her first husband, being 430 acres, and who established iron works on Chester Creek, at what is now Glen Mills. In 1761, Joseph Talbot and all of his children except Margaret, Mary and Martha, who were then married, became members of the Friends' Meeting at Middletown. He was married there 5 mo. 8, 1761, to Lydia Townsend, widow of Joseph, and dau. of Francis Reynolds, and a third time, 8 mo. 21, 1776 at Concord Mtg., to Ann Sharples, widow of Jacob and dau of Charles and Susanna Blakey. His residence was in Aston township from 1773, till his death in 1783. His children all by the first wife, were-- Margaret, m. Thomas Grisell, son of Edward, of Edgmont. Mary, m. Robert Rogers and John Brinton. Joseph, m. Hannah Pennell, 1 mo. 13, 1762; d. 7 mo. 22, 1807. Martha, m. Daniel Broomall, and d. 5 mo. 3, 1812. John, m. Sarah Levis, and d. 1 mo. 20, 1820.

Hannah, m. about 1775, Francis Dutton, and went to Virginia. Susanna, m.

I believe this is a legend as Thomas Pearson/Pierson to whom this is attributed never sailed with Penn. Pearson's two trips to America are documented and neither was with Penn. I could be wrong - have been at least twice in my life!
