Joe........ Here is all of his will abstract. The Vanderslice book says that Tacy died 6/18/1807 before he did. It does not say he remarried. I wonder if remarriage to Mary was at the Presbyterian Church there in Providence at Mount Kirk? Any way to check for that? VANDERSLICE, THOMAS. Upper Providence. July 24, 1817.

Just found the Vanderslices buried at Mount Kirk: p 116 of Vanderslice book -(I didn't look far enough!)

In one section he says Thomas Vanderslice, Jr died single in 3/24/1843, and in another 3/24/1848. I am inclined now, after seeing the above cemetery info and Thomas Jr's 'rap sheets', to say that Thomas Vanderslice Jr, the bad boy.......who fell off the dock, is his son, and did die in 3/24/1848! An interesting other item is his brother, Marcus VANDERSLICE, who also died single per the Vanderslice book. (Dates are c1794-3/12/1827). He also stepped across the line into criminal activity! In the Penn Archives, Series 9, Vol 1 p 5519......"A pardon was granted to Marcus Vanderslice, convicted of adultery, assault and battery on 2 indictments and sentenced on 1/1/1821 in Philadelphia Court to prison for 1 yr and 9 mos and to pay 2 fines, $50 and 50pounds for court costs." Now I wonder, can a single person be convicted of adultery? I thought adultery was for married folks! But further........on page 108 of the Vandeslice book, records from churches, is shown: At St John's Evangelical Lutheran in Phila....marriages: Marcus Vanderslice to Mary Ann GETMAN by Rev. P F Mayer on . So it seems he was indeed married to commit adultery! And did not die single, although maybe his wife left him after being sent to prison! Hopefully, no children! OK - Thank you Mal and all for the added info! This family is beginning to fall into place! To respond to a question about JONES and Vanderslice: In the Vanderslice book (you can view all of it, and print, on Ancestry under Families and Local Histories if you have that subscription), page 117: Extract from Journal of Rev. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, Aug Luth, Trappe: October 30, 1751, baptized Anton Vander Sluis. Nov 1751, den its Anton Vander Sluis begraben (his death) Monday, 8/12/1775, baptized a child of John Van der sluice, named Reinhart. Born 10/30/1774. Sponsors were the mother in person, the wife of Jacob Reiss, and the wife of Peter Becker. The father is absent in camp. In the afternoon (no date) I married Cadwallader JONES and Maria, dau of Reinhart Vander Sluiss, of New Providence. Cadwallader JONES and Vander Sluiss gave a harmless bond.) Too bad whoever found this entry didn't observe the entry directly above this last one re the marriage, as it probably had a year for an earlier event on the same day. Maybe someone has copies of Rev. Muhlenberg's journal?

Does anyone know if TACY Richardson who married Thomas Vanderslice is the same as MARY mentioned in his will?? I have seen a date for Thomas born 1736, but not sure if that was a misread of a 3 for a 5.?? VANDERSLICE, THOMAS. Upper Providence [Montgomery Co.]. July 24, 1817 / August 22, 1817. listing wife Mary; Their son EDWARD married Elizabeth Pawling, who is also a Richardson. Any sources would be appreciated as well. Joe
