Got your Lincoln your Vance and Jonathan Wynne _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pacheste/chester_twplist_nantmeal.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pacheste/chester_twplist_nantmeal.htm) The first assessment of this district is of the inhabitants "Near ye Branches of the french Creek & the Branches of Brandywine," 1720. The names and valuation of the estates were as follows: (Value=pounds) Owen Roberts, 50 William Hiddins, 5 Richard, Jeremiah & John Peircell, 20 David Roberts, 5 William Phillips, 14 John Williams, 6 William David, 6 John James, 2 Philip Roger, 5 Saml. Nutt, 20 Mordicay Lincoln, 12 Lewis David, 5 Simon Meridith, 12. Non-resident Lands.-- James Logan, 1000 acres Henry Hockle, 200 Jonathan Gwyne (Wynne), 1000 Thomas Calway (Callowhill), 500. February, 1739-40, another division was proposed, which would leave Logan's meadow or swamp in the upper part, and Ann Roberts' swamp in the other, after which the line was to pass to the head of Wynn's meadow, and follow the main branch of that water to the line of Uwchlan township. In September, 1739, the citizens of the two ends chose persons to divide the township, being Thomas Miradah (Meredith?) and Matthew Robertson, of the east side, Arthur Graham and John Piersol, of the west. They could not agree, and called in John Gobeen as umpire. The line agreed upon then was from the county line at the spring near Edward George's house, thence to Brandywine, and so to Caln township. In 1740 the taxables were 83 in East and 123 in West Nantmeal. The first settlers were mostly Welsh, and principally confined to the eastern part of the township. The Scotch-Irish came up from the south-western part of the county from 1730 to 1740, and peopled the western part. LAND-OWNERS, 1774.

I promised I would do this this year the netflix movie is American Experience: Dolley Madison 2010NR84 minutes This installment of the critically acclaimed American Experience series sheds light on the remarkable Dolley Madison, the trailblazing wife of President James Madison who came to be known as the country's "first" First Lady. "Queen Dolley," as she came to be known, was a charming hostess and a fashion icon. But she was also a strong-willed heroine who pulled double duty as an adviser and diplomat. Cuz Connie

Isn't it great and interesting. There is a good PBS special on Dolly you can rent from netflix. If you want the kids to stay awake while you tell them the story. Cuz Connie I did a Yahoo search and found out the following below about Dolly.. Seems she was married to a Philly lawyer named Todd. Wonder if this could have been one of Mary Ann's relatives? Madison is an interesting study...not directly in the Wynne relationship. He is called the father of the constitution, a Virginian, and the last surviving member of the constitution writers. In his second term, he had to flee the British attacking Washington in the War of 1812. One by one little pieces of history pop up and we can go back and fit another spot in our ancestry puzzle. We may not see it all come together in our generation, but if we write what we know down, then our grankids can start their quest at a higher level --- it amazes me how much we have put together, and the progress has certainly escalated since the internet was invented (by Al Gore!). When one looks at Fairchance, Wynne, Todd, Washington, Lincoln, Boone etc.: George Washington was a Lt. under British General Braddock in the fight between the British and the French & Indians at Ft. Duquesne. They came and returned from the Virginia area up what is now US Rt. 40 near the the border between PA and VA. Uniontown and Fairchance did not exist, but they turned north at the Monongahela river. After being badly beaten at Pittsburg, they regtreated, Braddock was killed, and they burried him along 40 east of Uniontown. Washington then assumed command, built Fort Necessity and surrendered (his first military defeat). A few years later, Washington was back in the same area on the surveying crew that laid out the Mason-Dixon line to settle arguments between PA and VA about land ownership, as the settlers of Fairchance and that area were starting to arrive. Another group from "The Forks of the Cheat", just upstream from Fairchance, led by a Harrod, travelled down the Monongahela and Ohio and started the first settlement in Kentucky at Harrodsburg. Later, Daniel Boone, living near Blacksburg VA was called upon, and he put together a squad and went to Harrodsburg and rescued them from the Indian attack. the next year, Boone et al returned to Kentucky and set up the fort at Boonsboro, and Harrods re establish Harrodsburg. Washington wins the Revolution, and in the 8 yr or so hiatus when there was no US, and Washington was not appointed yet as President, George and his nephew Bushrod, go on a scouting trip "trying to find a route to connect the Potomac with the Ohio". The stop and spend one night at James Spurgeon's house, near Ft. Necessity, just over the mountain from Fairchance. Mad Anthony Wayne defeats the Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers and opens up Ohio, Indiana and the Western states for settlers. Time goes on and the Civil War starts and Wynne brothers from Fairchance serve in a Northern calvary unit from Grafton WV. WV cesceeds from VA primarily on the fear that if they continued with the South, the North would hit them first and make WV a wasteland. Sometime in the middle of it, Abe Lincoln is said to have travelled and given a speech at Fairchance! Why Fairchance? Relatives of him and Boone there, or relatives of his wife?? Dolly Madison .Born: 20 May 1768 .Birthplace: Piedmont, North Carolina .Died: 12 July 1849 .Best Known As: Socialite First Lady of the United States, 1809-1817 Dolley Madison was the wife of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. She is known as the woman who turned the new nation's capital at Washington, D. C. from a dull swamp into a high-society social scene. Aaron Burr introduced the young widow to Madison, who was 17 years her senior, and Dolley married Madison in 1794. During the presidency of the widowed Thomas Jefferson, Dolley served as the official White House hostess while her husband served as Secretary of State. Madison won the presidency in 1808 and Dolley created the role of First Lady as social hostess and trend-setter, furnishing the president's quarters for the first time and hosting weekly parties of politicians and citizens. In 1814 British soldiers invaded Washington D. C. and overran the capital while President Madison was out of town. Before the soldiers burned the president's house, Dolley was able to salvage wagonloads of valuables, including Gilbert Stuart's now-famous portrait of George Washington; her courage under fire made her a national hero. When Madison left office the couple retired to Montpelier, their plantation in Virginia. After Madison's death in 1836, Dolley moved back to Washington and recaptured her role as the premier Washington hostess.

Born: May 20, 1768, Guilford County, N.C. . Wife of James Madison, 4th President . Died: July 12, 1849, Washington, D.C. Born Dorothea Payne, Dolley (also spelled Dolly) Madison grew up on a plantation in Virginia. In 1783 her father freed his slaves, sold his plantation, and started a factory in Philadelphia. Dolley Payne was married to John Todd, a Philadelphia lawyer, in 1789. Four years later Todd and their newborn son died of yellow fever. Dolley and her oldest son survived. Dolley remained in Philadelphia. After a four-month courtship, she married James Madison in 1794. He was 17 years older than his bride, but they maintained a close and loving relationship for 42 years. While James Madison was shy and industrious, Dolley was outgoing and loved to entertain. She was noted for her beautiful gowns and elaborate makeup and hairstyling. When Thomas Jefferson appointed Madison his secretary of state in 1801, the couple moved from Madison's Virginia plantation to Washington, D.C., where Dolley soon became the center of the Jefferson administration's social life. Both Jefferson and Aaron Burr were widowers, and Dolley was asked, as the wife of the senior department secretary, to preside over Presidential dinners and receptions. Her friendship with President Jefferson made her an unofficial First Lady in his administration. In 1809, when her husband became President, Dolley Madison simply continued with her duties as Washington's hostess. Dolley Madison insisted on formal etiquette at all state functions. Beginning in May 1809 she held an informal Wednesday evening "salon" that was open not only to Washington officials but also to the general public. In August 1814, during the War of 1812, British troops captured the capital and burned many of its buildings. Dolley Madison managed to safeguard historical paintings, the White House silver, velvet curtains, a clock, and important state papers from the White House before fleeing to Virginia. After the British withdrew, the Madisons returned to Washington, where they lived in the Octagon House, which was loaned to them by the French government, until the White House could be rebuilt. After Madison's retirement from the Presidency, the couple lived for 20 years at their plantation, Montpelier. After her husband's death in 1836, Dolley returned to Washington, where she lived for 13 years until her death. See also First Lady; Madison, James Sources Cuz Gary

Thanks for the very interesting info and also a brief history lesson for those of who can't quite remember all of those long ago details!!

Dear Cousins, We also arrived back in Florida with lots of wonderful memories of the Reunion. Becky, thanks for the great job of organizing another reunion of our "family". It was nice to see everyone, and we especially enjoyed meeting Ed & Nancy, as well as Jerry, Shirley & Richard. The bus tour was very interesting, and fun. Lunch was delicious. We enjoyed Elaina being our charming & knowledgeable "tour guide" through downtown Philadelphia. It was good to see Mayor Phillip again, and Eddie was glad to get to meet him. He is FUN! The Wynnestay "tea" was nice with the Mayor's office and the Welch and Welcome Society's included in the festivities. We so enjoyed driving through the PA rolling countryside and seeing the stone homes and barns. Our extra tour of Valley Forge with Merle, Joan and Sara was especially interesting. What great company. Our weather was perfect too. It was great to get together with so many nice cousins. Ahoy, Sharon & Eddie -------------------------------------------------- From: <wynne-genealogy-society-request@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 9:20 PM To: <wynne-genealogy-society@rootsweb.com> Subject: WYNNE-GENEALOGY-SOCIETY Digest, Vol 5, Issue 211 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi Gary, This is also my line. I will be in Fayette County in a couple weeks. I take my mom back for visits and I will see what I can find, if anything there. I don't have to much info on Mary Ann Todd and I always wondered if she was related to Mary Todd Lincoln. If I do find anything I will let you know.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home! Ed and I arrived home safely about 11:30 pm Monday night. We made a detour on the way back to see Ed's aunt near Blackstone, VA; by the time we got home, we had driven over 2,000 miles on the trip. As soon as my brain wakes up a bit more, I will write a proper thank you to everyone. We are so glad that we went to Philadelphia.

The variety of events and touring was just fine, and I always enjoy driving in the Pennsylvania countryside...it is just gorgeous with those rolling hills, woods, and old stone houses and barns.......very neat place! I always enjoy the people on these trips, and eating, driving and researching with them is half the fun of the trip! It was great to meet Ed and Nancy, Ed and Sharon, Alice and her family. And to get to see Gainor, Connie, Joyce Gail, Ida, Bob, Marcy, Janet, John and Kathleen,and Joe again was just great. We always have a really good time and take back some wonderful memories. I want to thank Becky once more for the super job of organizing and planning this trip....I don't think any of us really know how much work is involved and it goes on during the event. And husband Jerry is there all the time making sure it all happens. It was very nice to see Shirley again and to finally meet Richard........great family. Since I did not get to go to Wales, it was also a real treat to meet Mayor Phillip....he is a real hoot! And to see Elaina again was special...she is quite a lady! Thanks to all for making this another great trip and for being the special cousins that you all are!

Dear Connie, I hope I wasn't too bad of a roommate. It was great being with you. You are always a blast. Let me know how your surgey goes. You take care of yourself. I think I am getting something. I have coughed all morning and really don't feel right. You ought to see the bruises I have on my legs in trying to shut that stupid suitcase. I told Lonnie I can't understand how the same stuff that I packed can cause so much trouble. Well at least I don't have to pack again for awhile. It was about 7:30 last night when I got home and by the time I got my stuff in, it didn't take me long to get settled down and sound asleep. I am getting ready to take me a another nap. LOL Thanks again for letting me room with you. XOXOXOXO to you too.

Alice, You left the door open, and the flood rushes in.... If you are ever in the "lookup mode", you could help me with two. 1. Trying to find the ancestry of Owen Hugh. Owen married Hannah Wynne, daughter of Jonathan Wynne Jr. They lived in the Philly area for a short time and then crossed the mountains to Fairchance. Owen and Hannah were the parents of Isaac Hugh, and Owen died when Isaac was very young. 2. Trying to find the ancestry of Mary Ann Todd. Mary Ann married Isaac Hugh, and she was from the Philly area, info says they were married in Montgomery Co. and then went to Fairchance to the Owen property there. Is Mary Ann Todd related to Mary Todd Lincoln? Mary Todd Lincoln was born about 50 years later than Mary Ann, in Kentucky. She had ancestors who had moved to KY from the Philly area. I was unable to attend this years reunion, and am anxiously awaiting for synopsis of the reunion and what new info the researchers have found. I may get to go to the Salt Lake City area next summer. We want to visit the Northwest national parks and are starting to work with our travel agent to put something together for early next summer. We made the circle from Phoenix to Grand Canyon, Zion, Moab and back four years ago, but have not seen the parks north of there.
