BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. 



of births of Chester Monthly Meeting, 

 in the hand-writing of Thomas Chalk- 

 ley, shows that at least five children 

 of English parentage were born here 

 at an earlier date. Emanuel was a re- 

 markable man on account of the great 

 vigor of his constitution. He lived in 

 Brandywine Hundred, and died there 

 in 1707 in the eighty-sixth year of his 

 age, never having suffered from sick- 

 ness till within a few days of his death. 

 A few months before his death he rode 

 from his residence to Philadelphia and 

 back in a day, a distance of forty 

 miles. (See Pennsylvania Chronicle, 

 1767.) He was buried at St. Martin's 

 church, Marcus Hook, of which he had 

 been an active and influential member. 



Hall, Thomas, was a purchaser of 

 land in England, when he resided at 

 Goataker, in the parish of Hillmortin, 

 Wiltshire. By trade he was a cord- 

 wainer. He located his land in Con- 

 cord, and was among the very earliest 

 settlers of that township. It is not 

 known that he was a Friend. A Sa- 

 muel Hall, who was in membership 

 with Friends, resided in Springfield as 

 early as 1692, was probably a son 

 of the subject of this notice. Samuel 

 died in 1737, while his wife Mary was 

 still living. His children were, John, 

 Elizabeth, George, Ann, Samuel and 

 Thomas. 



Hallowell^ John, migrated from 

 Hucknel, parish of Sutton, Nottingham- 

 shire, England, in 1683, and settled in 

 Darby, now Upper Darby. He was 

 probably married a short time before 

 leaving England. His wife, Mary, was 

 the daughter of Thomas Sharp They 

 were both Quakers upon their arrival 

 here, and continued in that faith while 

 they lived. Their children were, John, 

 Elizabeth, Hannah, Samuel, Benjamin, 

 and Jane Mary died in 1701-'2, and 

 John in 1706. 'The late Judge John 

 Hallowell, of Philadelphia, was a de- 

 scendant of the subject of this notice. 



Hamms, Henry, was originally from 

 Middlesex County, England, where he 

 had learned the trade of a shoemaker 

 with I'eter Bcmrbj. He came to Penn- 

 sylvania by the way of Virginia, and 

 while unmarried lived in Springfield. 

 In 1688, lie married Rebecca Fincher, 

 a member of Havertbrd meeting, re- 



siding near the Schuylkill. He subse- 

 quently purchased land in Marple, and 

 resided on it at the time of his decease 

 in 1699, leaving his wife and one son, 

 Francis, to survive him. 



Hardins, John, with his wife Amy, 

 were among the early English Quaker 

 settlers of Chichester. He was present 

 at the first monthly meeting held there, 

 and was the largest contributor toward 

 building the first meeting-house in that 

 township. Monthly meetings were fre- 

 quently held at his house. He died in 

 1688, without issue, and in 1690 his 

 widow intermarried with Philip Roman. 



Harris, Hugh, immigrated about the 

 year 1685, near the same time, and pos- 

 sibly in the same ship, with William 

 Brinton, whose daughter Elizabeth he 

 married early in 1686, and settled on 

 the north side of the tract of land lo- 

 cated by his father-in-law. In religious 

 profession he was a Quaker, and by 

 trade a weaver. He probably came 

 from the neighborhood of Birmingham, 

 in England. His death occurred in 

 1708. His children were, Evan, Hugh, 

 John, Jane, Lois and Olive. 



Harrison, Francis, migrated from 

 London, and was a resident of Concord 

 as 1685, and probably earlier. He was 

 in membership with Friends at the 

 time of his arrival here, but about the 

 time of the Keithian troubles in the 

 Society, he seems to have separated 

 from it. In 1686, his name appears as 

 one of the Justices of the Court. 



Harry, Daniel, came from "J/acA- 

 anlloth" near Dolgelly, in Merioneth, 

 Wales, in 1687, and settled in Radnor 

 township. In 1091, he married Sybill, 

 the daughter of David Price, of the 

 same township. 



Harvey, Job, came from Chesterfield, 

 FiHgland, in the year 1702, and inter- 

 married with Mary, daughter of John 

 Bethel, the owner of the Darby Mills. 

 Job settled at Darby, and shortly after 

 the death of his father-in-hiw, became 

 owner or part owner of the same mills. 

 Tbey had one child, Josiah, but may 

 have had more. Job lived to a good 

 old age, and became an elder in the 

 Friends' meeting of which he was a 

 member. His wife, Mary, died in 1727.
