INTRODUCTION. This little volume Avas nudertaken from a sense of dutv, and al- thongh it has been a work lasting, all told, for more than three years, and crowded into an otherwise busy life, it has proven to be a very pleasant duty. Lucinda (Maulsby) Davis (TO), grandmother of the author, was very enthusiastic about having a genealogy of the Maulsby family written, that the family history should be preserved. She left at lier death a package of letters which contained valuable material for the present work. This material has been used, although in almost every case, verified. Careful research has been made of the early Maulsby generations from both Quaker and government records. The result of the research has been gratifying. There is no obscure place in our history, the way by which we came being perfectly plain from the time when John and Mary Maulsby and little son Merchant, landed in Penn- sylvania in 1699. An authentic family record, running back for over tAvo hundred years, is something of which to be proud ! The Friends or Quakers arose, about 1650 in an age of great superstition, and corruption in both church and state. In their revolt at these, they determined to keep aloof from everything that savored of paganism. To this end they refused to use the names of days and months bestowed in honor of pagans or their idols. They used the numerals, first, second, third, and so on, for the days of the week and the months of the year. In Pennsyl- vania, fovmded by Wlliam Penn in 1682, the Quakers controlled legislation for many years, and sanctioned by law the numerical method of dating. The following section is from "The great law or the body of laws of the Province of Pennsylvania and territories thereunto belonging, past at an assembly held at Chester (alias Upland), the 7th day of yf 10th month, called December. 1682." "35. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid that the dayes of the Week and ye months of the year shall be called as in GENEALOGY OF THE Scripture & not by Heathen names (as are vulgarly used) as the first sec- ond and third days of ye Week and first second and third months of ye year, and beginning with ye day called Sunday and the Month called March." According to the English cnstoni, the ecclesiastical, or legal year began March 25. The Quakers held to that method of dating so that dates in their records before 1752 are in old style. An act was passed in parliament in 1751 adopting the Gregorian calender and making the following year begin with January first. The London and Philadelphia Quakers recognized the change of style, and began 1752 with January 1st as their first day of the first month. The dates in this book, before 1752 where the numerical method is used, are old style. The follow- ing calendars are given for those wdio wish' to change old style (o. s.) into the modern method of dating: OLD STYLE. Prior to 1752, the year began March 25th. March, 1st month.

The Friends disdained all titles, claiming that all were equal in God's sight, and that it was wrong for any one to feel su- ])erior or inferior to another. Even the titles, Mr., Mrs., and Miss, were not used by early Eriends, and out of respect to the views held by our grandfathers and grandmothers on that sul)ject, they are not used in tlie -[present volume. Thanks are due, in the preparation of the work, to Thomas Morgan, Washington, D. C, to Gilbert Cope, genealogist. West- MAULS BY FAMILY.

(5) JoHN^ born January 30, 171(5, in the Plynioutli Settle- ment. The ship "Bristol Merchant,*' John StejJiens, captain made a trip from England to America in the fall of 1699. On board was William Penn coming- for his last visit to America/ with a company of English Friends coming to make homes in the Xew World. William Penn had removed to Bristol, in western Eng- land in 1697. His residence there and the name of the ship ^'Bristol Merchant", would indicate that they sailed from Bris- tol, but nothing definite has been ascertained as to the place from which tjiey end)ark('d. Among the company were John and ]\rarv ]\Iaulsby. They were young Quakers of English stock, recently married in England, probably in 1698. During the voyage a son was b(n-n to them, whom they named ^Merchant, for the shij) in Avhich they sailed, and in which he was born. The ship landed at Chester, Pennsylvania, ]^ovember 30 or December 1, 1699. John ]\Iaulsby, wife Mary, and son Merchant, were the first of our ^Taulsby (sjielled then Maultsby) family in America. John ]\Iaulsl)y bduglit a hirge tract of land about thirteen miles from Phihidelphia, north and a little west of the city, in the Plymouth Settlement. On account of the growth of the city, the site of tlie old ]\laulsby homestead is now within six or seven miles of the Philadel])hia limits. GENEALOGY OF THE THE PLYMOUTH SETTLEMENT. The earliest settlers of Plyiiioutli Settlement were from Plym- outh, Devonshire, England, giving the name of their old home to the new. Francis Rawle and James Fox had purchased from William Penn, before their departure for America in 1686, a tract of land of 5,327 acres, practically lhe same as the present township of Plymouth, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. The deed given by William Penn years later, in 1701, is still pre- served. In it the following boundaries are given for the town- ship: ''Beginning at the birch tree standing by the River Skuyl- kill being a corner dividing it from the land first laid out to Major Jasper ffarmer extending from thence by an (dd line of marked trees northeast twelve hundred and ninety-six perches to a corner marked White oak standing in the line of Whitpain's Township from thence by an old line of marked trees northwest seven hundred and ninety-two perches to a corner marked hick- ory dividing this from the reputed land of Benjamin Chandjers from tlience by an old line of marked trees southwest eight hun- dred and forty ])erches to a corner nnirked hickory standing l)y the said River Skuylkill by the several courses thereof to the first mentioned birch tree containing five thousand three hundred and twenty-seven acres and seventy-nine perches of land." (Taken from "Plymouth Meeting" by Elhvood Roberts.) This deed was given to enable the owners the better to assure a title to purchasers from them. After living there for several years and making improve- ments the owners became dissatisfied with their isolated life in the woods and moved into Philadel})liia. Some time afterwards they sold large tracts of land to ditferent ])urchasers, David Meredith, Thomas Owen, Isaac Price, and others from Wales, and John Maulsby from England, all Quakers, being among the early pur- chasers. Ezra Michener, in his "Retrospect of Early Quakerism" •says : "James Fox and other friends settled about Plymouth in MAUL8BY FAMILY. the year 1685 ( ?) and held meetings at Fox's house. But they soon after removed from the place, and were succeeded by David Meredith and several friends, Avho attended Merion meeting." The iirst settlement, however, was not before 1686. David Meredith bought 980 acres of land, and built a three- story house wdiich is still standing, although over two hundred vears old. John Maulsbv bought his tract of land near what is PLYMOUTH BURIAL GROUND. (From Ell wood Roberts' "Plymouth Meeting.") now known as Cold Point, east and less than a half mik^ from Plymouth Meeting House. The old Maulsl)y mansion, a little over one-half mile from the Meeting House, was a very substantial colonial house. It was torn down about thirty years ago, a lime stone quarry near having caved in and undermined its founda- tions. Ill this lioiiu' John and Mary Manlsl)y reared their chil- dren, lived their lives, and died. 'V\w site of the home is a very l)icturesque s^iot, "the range of high hills, ])art of the Edge Hill 10 GENEALOGY OF THE or Smith Valley range, jutting' sharply out into the plain and forming a land mark that can be seen for miles." Part of the original tract of land 'is owned hv John Maulsby's descendants, the C'orsons. Anyone wishing to visit the site of the old Maulsby home can take the Chestnut Hill trolley car line in Philadelphia — this line passes Plymouth Meeting House on the way to Xorris- town. Or the trip can be made by rail to Xorristown, and then three miles south, to the Meeting House, on the trolley car. John Maulsby was a yeoman or farmerj Plymouth township was the finest kind of woodland, tind)ered lieavily with white oak, the soil underlaid with lime stone. When cleared of timber it w^as, and is today, a rich farming country. The township is now dotted with villages, a village and post office near Plymouth Meeting House being called "Plymouth Meeting." The products of the pioneer days were corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat, potatoes. The deed, of which a fac-similc is given, is from John and Mary Maultsby to John Davies for fifty acres of the original tract bought in Plymouth. The price, forty pounds for fifty acres, is in strik- ing contrast to the price of land in that township now — one hun- dred to three hundred dollars per acre. The deed, which has never been recorded, is written on parchment, and is especially valuable on account of the signatures of John and Mary Maulsby as grantors, and of Marchant and William Maulsby, twenty-seven years later, as witnesses remembering the signing of the deed by their parents. The very early Friends of Plymouth Settlement held their meetings at the house of James Fox, later in the same house, then in possession of Hugh Jones. Later still at the house of David Meredith, the room in which meetings were held having under- gone very little change. Formerly a partition extended across the room, dividing it into the men's and women's rooms. The par- tition swung on rude hinges, so the rooms could be thrown to- gether when desired. Plymouth ]\Ieeting Jlouse was l)uilt about 1710 near the burving ground, wliere the dead had been buried MAULS BY FAMILY. J I since the starting of the settlement. John and Mary Maulsby were hnried in the okl portion of the bnrying ground, without nionnnient t(» mark the resting pU:iee, as was customary with Friends at tliat rime. It is thought the Meeting House was built by the voluntary labor and contribution of material, as no reference is made to payment of bills in the Monthly Meeting Records. The original structure remains, although it has undergone alterations. It is the ])art nearest the old part of the bnrviiig gnuiiul. Some time after, an addition called the "school end" of the meeting house was built for school })urposes. Friends school being held there for several years. The Philadelphia Yearltn^g Meet- ing recommended Friends in the disposition of their property, to make provision for educating the young. The history of the So- ciety of Friends in this country shows careful provision always for the maintenance of schools. Plymouth was essentially the same as later settlements where the older Maulsbys lived, a com- pany of Friends living together with many interests in common — always a grave yard, a meeting, a school. Plymouth school was well attended, boys es]iecially coming from a distance on horseback. The old Meeting House, as in the frontis]uece, stands essentially the same today. In 1807 it was partially destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt, the old walls being used. The two small p(U-ches have been re])laepd l)y one deep porch extending across the front of the building. Plymouth Friends still h(dd meetings there. It is said that the place is singularly quiet and restful — the old Meeting House, with the old trees throwing their shadows upon it, the burying ground near, hallowed by the precious dead of two hundred years. In 1714: Plymouth and Gwynedd were organized into one meet- ing, known ever since as Gwyufdd ]\[onthly ]\leeting, the Monthly Meetings being held alternately between Plymouth and Gwynedd. The iSTorristown Friends belong with them, and al- 12 GENEALOGY OF THE though having' a separate meeting for worshi}), hiirv their dead in the PlynKinth hnrving gronn(L Among the early ministers at Plymonth were Ellis Piigh, Welsh, Rowland, Ellis, Welsh, and William Trotter. It was prob- ably to their preaching more than to any others that Johii ]\[anlsbv, wife ^Mary and their sons listened. Gwynedd fleeting gave testimonials of these ministers' lives and ministry. The following memorial to William Trotter will be interesting from its qnaint style, as well as from the fact that he knew and Avas known of onr people : "Our friend, William Trotter, late of Plymouth, in the county of Philadelphia, s;)n (if William Trotter, was born in the fnurtli month, 1(11)5, of religious parents and was educated amongst Friends. "As he grew in years, he was blessed in that he grew in grace, and in the fear and knowledge of our l)lessed L(U*d and Savior Jesus Christ. "About the twenty-first year of his age, he received a gift in the ministry, in which he was frequently exercised during the course of his life. His ministry was sound and savory, and attended with a remarkably good degree of that life and power, 'By which the dead are raised, and without which all preaching is vain.' "He was not tedious or burdensome but often very reaching and edifying to his hearers. In his life and conversation he was grave, yet innocently cheerful, and strictly just in his dealings, also a lover and promoter of peace, unity, and brotherly love amongst friends of which himself was a good pattern. "He was generally beloved during his life, and at his death left a good saviour. His removal from time to a happy eternity, though certainly his greatest gain, was a considerable loss to the meeting where he belonged. "He departed this life on the nineteenth of the Tenth month, 1749, aged about fifty-three years and six months, and was in- terred on the twenty-first of the same month in Friends' burying ground at Plymouth ; and we believe is gone from his laborious MAULS BY FAMILY. 13 service to receive a heavenly reward (if peace Avliere the 'wicked cease from troiibliiig', and the wearv are at rest.' '' (Taken from "Plymonth ^Meeting" by Ellwood Roberts.) The account of Plymouth Settlement is gleaned from "Plymouth Meeting," supplemented by personal help sent by Ellwood Koberts of Xorristown, Pa. It is certainly with ])ard()nablo ])ride that we pause to pay a tribute of respect to John and Mary Maulsby, founders of the Maulsby family in America. Exhaustive research failed to give a detailed account of their lives, but enough was found to give a clear insight into their characters. The very fact of them being Quakers, when (Quakerism in England meant disgrace and perse- cution, showed that l»otli had courage to stand by their convictions. Mary's heroism in starting, when in delicate health, on wdiat was then a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, showed her worthy to be the mother of a great family, wdio should rise up to call her blessed! That the moral character and linancial standing of both was above reproach, is evidenced by them belonging to the Society of Friends, for that early church looked after the tinances as well as the morals of its mend^ers. The buying of the large tract of land in Plymouth Settlement shows that John Maulsliy had brought something from the Old World to start life in the J^ew. He w^as a man among men, an honored member of the early Plymouth Settlement. His descendants to the eighth and ninth generations carry with them the same business integrity. The writer has yet to learn of the lirst person bearing his name, or carrying a drop of ^laulsby blood in his veins, who has asked for charity I All honor to John and Mary Maulsby, who by their courage founded a home, where their children and children's children conld have the priceless heritage of freedom of conscience in reli- gion and freedom from class barriers in social life — wdiere "all men are created equal," and each is free to follow the call of duty or the beckon of ambition, and make of his life what he wills.

In 1733 he was a witness to his brother Wil- liam's marriage at Plymouth; in 1734 he lived in White Marsh township, which joins Plymouth; in 174S he was a witness as having seen the signing of a deed given by his parents in 1721. John Ax, of Germantown, Philadelphia county, appointed ]\Ier- chant Maulsby, Senior, as executor of his will June 1, 1758. The will of Merchant Maulsby, of Poxborough township (now a i)art of Philadelphia), carpenter, is dated April 25, 1785 ; proved December 1, 1785. Mentions children John, Morris, Mary Steam and Sarah Maulsby; grandchildren William and Samuel Maulsby, Elizabeth Freese and Isabella Steam ; a])])oints son Morris Maulsby and Anthony Cook executors. There seems no doubt that the Merchant ]\Iaulsby of this will, |)r(»ved December 1, 1785, was the Merchant born 1099. His son Merchant died years before; the mention of the grandchildren Samuel and Elizabeth, who were children of Merchant Maulsby (b) would be almost positive proof. ]\Ierchant Maulsby 's (b) descendants who are in Plymouth and vicinity are ]:eo])le held in great esteem. William Maulsby (a) and Hannah Coulton were married March 1(>, 1750, at the Swede's church, Philadelphia. 18 GENEALOGY OF THE Tlie will of William Maulsbj, of Pliiladelphia, innkeeper, dated November 29, 1775; proved December 15, 1775, mentioned wife Hannah and children Barnaby, William and Ebenezei- Maulsby ; appointed brother Morris Manlsby executor. Merchant Manlsby (b) married Hannah Davis, daughter of Samuel and Jane (Rees) Davis, November, 1766. Jane (Rees) Davis was a sister of Rose Rees who married William Maulsby (4). Merchant and Hannah Maulsby had two children, Samuel (g) and Elizabeth (h). Merchant Maulsby (b) was rebuked by the Friends' Meeting in 1780 for taking the oath of allegiance to the United Sxates and i)aying a military tax. After Merchant's death, which must have occurred about 1780, his widow married David ]\Iarple. David Marple, of Horsham township, wheelwright, in will dated July 18, 1871, mentions wife Hannah and step-chil- dren Sanmel and Elizabeth Maulsby. After David Marple's death, Hannah married a Corson, there being two children of the last marriage, Dr. Richard Corson of New Hope, who married Helen Jackson and Hannah Corson, who married John Bye. Samuel Maulsby (g) married in 1799 (one hundred years from the birth of his grandfather), Susan Thomas, daughter of Jona- than and Alice Thomas. Their children were Hannah (i), who married Charles Jarret and left family of children and grand- children; Jonathan (j), who married but left no children; Alice T. (k), who married Josiah Albertson and left a family of chil- dren and grandchildren; Merchant (1), who married Rachel Ed- wards and left daughters; Martha T. (m), who married George Corson leaving a large family; George (n), who married M. Sovett and left no children, and Ellwood (o) who died unmarried.

She ran away from her home at St. Bride's, Wales ; took passage on a steamer sailing for America; landed in Pliiladelphia and was cared lV)r in the Lloyd home. Her parents in Wales hearing of her whereabonts imjilored her to return, but she refused to do so and in a short time was married to David MauTsby (8). David and Mary Maulsby were witnesses to the will of John Lidyard of Moreland township, Phila- delphia county, April 5, 1748-9. 4. WILLIAM MAULSBY married Rose Rees. ciiildke:v tijikd generatioiy.

The letter from Gunpowder says : "We have therefore in behalf of Benjamin taken William Maulsbv's Bond of conveyance for as much Land at three pounds five shillings p"" acre as amounts to the sum stated in your last letter, including the buildings, orchard, meadow Ground and a proporti()nal)le part of the Timber Land" which if satisfactory an early answer is desired, ''that Rose may obtain a certificate, as she seems desirous to sit meetings of business." Rose and son received their certificate 1-12-1788. This certificate was received at Gunpowder ]\Ionthly Meeting held at Little Falls, Flarford county, Md., the 29th of 3rd month, 1788. Xo account of a cer- tificate given to Rose Maulsby or son Benjamin, is found in the Gunpowder records, so it is probable that they died in Harford county, Maryland. THE REES FAMILY. The Rees family was probabl,v froin Radnorshire, Wales, as the certificate of David Meredith given by a Friends ineeting there, "att or men's meeting ye 20th Day of ye 5th mo., 1683," has Rees ap Rees (the son of Rees) as one of the signatures. Rose Maulsbv's parents, John Rees, yeoman, and his wife Hannah, were Welsh people, who settled first in Radnor township, Cliester county called "Radnor in the Welsh tract," but later moved to tht- Plymouth settlement. In 1723 John Rees was a witness to David' Meredith's will at Plymouth. After that he was spoken of as from Plymouth or Whitpain (an adjoining township) so that from 1723 or earlier, he and his wife probably made their home in or near the Plymouth settlement. In the copy at hand, of the records of Plymouth Meeting, Hannah's name appears for tlie last time in 1745, as a witness to her daughter Hannah's marriage; John's name is seen once more, in 171-0, as a witness to his son John's marriage. But years later, 11 mo. 2, 1753, in a will, Hannah Rees of Whitpain township, mentions her daughter Rose Maulsby. MAULS BY FAMILY. 23 CIIILDREX OF JOIIX AXD HAXXAII TiEES.

To understand the Welsh settlers, let tis look a moment at Welsh history in the mother country. The people of Wales were descend- ants of the Britons, who retired into the remote portion of the island, rather than be subject to the conquerors of Britian. These refugees mingled later with the English but did not wholly lose their individuality. They were independent, self-reliant, coura- geous and thrifty, with a love of their ancient valor kept alive by their bards. When George Fox and John ap John traveled through the ])rincipality, preaching the new gospel of Quakerism — the Inner Light which shone in each soul for its guidance ; the Still Voice that spoke to each ; the Kingdom of Heaven within you — they found a people especially fitted to receive it. Fitted by their self-reliance to understand the "Inner Light" and the ''Still Voice," and by their courage to acce])t that religion, althouiih ac- companied with persecutions. When William Penn offered them homes in Pennsylvania, where they might worship God according to the dictates of conscience, unmolested, many accepted the offer gladly. They were his trusted friends and helped very materially in building up his state. In a letter from England, Fourth month 14, 1(>01, he said, "Salute me to the Welsh Friends and the Plymouth Friends, indeed to all of them." (Accoimt of Rees fam- ily gathered from "'Plymouth Meeting" by EUwood Roberts.) 24 GENEALOGY OF THE 5. JOHN MAULSBY married and had children as shown by Gwvnedd records.

John Maulsby was born in Pennsylvania probably in or near the Plymouth Settlement. John Maulsby, son of William Maulsby of Limerick, Philadelphia county, was married to Lydia John, daughter of Samu(d John of East JSTantmel, 21st of 5tli mo. 1766, at ISTantmel Meeting. Xantmel Meeting House was west of Plymouth, perhaps ten miles, in East Nantmel township, Chester county; the meeting there being a branch of the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting in the adjoining township of Uwchlan. The I^^antmel Meeting House has disappeared. John Maulsby was a farmer. At Warrington Monthly Meet- ing, York county, Pa., 7 mo. 8, 1769, John Maulsby produced a certificate from Gwynedd, dated 5-30-1769, for himself, wife and son JoseplL The date of this certificate and the date when re- ceived at Warrington are exactly the same as the dates of the cer- tificate of William Maulsby (2) wife Rose and the children Ben- jamin and Elenor, so it is probable that the two families moved together to York county. Both had their membership in the Xew- bury (or Xewberry) ^Meeting, which Avas a branch of Warrington 28 GENEALOGY OF THE Monthly Meeting. John Manlsby and family lived in York connty for eight ^^ears. Susannah was a baby wlien their certificate was received at Warrington. Joseph died there and into the home was born Ann, William and Sarah. 5-10-1777 John Maulsby, wife Lydia and four children, received a certificate from Warrington to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, Maryland. Gunpowder Avas a little east of south, about fifty miles from their home in York county. They doubtless went by what was known as the Baltimore and York road, wdiicli in the early days was the great route for farmers from York to Baltimore. From the minutes of Gunpowder Monthly ]\Ieeting, situated in Baltimore county, Maryland, "att our Monthly Meeting held at Gun|)()wder, the 20th day of the 0th month 1777, John Maulsby attended this meeting with a certificate from Warrington Monthly Meeting, Dated the 10th Day of the 5th mo. 1777, Recommending himself and his wife Lydia and four children, Susanna, Ann, William and Sarah mendiers of our Beligious society, which is by this meeting received." In 1770 the Little Falls Preparative Meeting (Harford county) chose John Maulsby as Overseer, this serving to show that John Maulsby lived in Harford county, where many others of the family lived. Before following John Maulsby further, let us look a moment at the account of his brothers and sisters as found in the Warrington and Gunpowder records. DAVID (7). There was a David Maulsby received into mem- bership at Gunpowder in 1773, afterward married a Reese, but cannot be identified positively as William's (2) son. WILLIAM (8) produced a certificate from Gwynedd dated 7-25-1769, to Warringtcm. In 1774 he was complained of by Warrington fen- marriage by a priest (minister) to one not a mem- ber. He offered an acknowledgment which was accepted. 8-13- 1785 a certificate was given from Warrington to Gunpowder to William Maulsby, wife Ann and children William, John and Jane. MAUL 8 BY FAMILY. 29 BENJAMIN (t)) was spoken of in connection with his mother. HANNAH (10) carried Her certificate from Gwynedd dated 5-29-1 7 TO, to Warrington 8^11-1770. Hannah and Moses Frazier comphiined of for niarriaiiv bya priest 1771. They Avei'e dis- owncnh ELENOR (11) received her certificate from Warrington dated 5-7-1 7U1, t<» Gunpowder. She had been living at Little Falls, going there in 1780. Elenor was present at Gunpowder ^Nlduthly Meeting held in Baltimore, 30th of 7th mo. 17!>1, her certitieate being read and received. She w^as married in 17l*2. There were other Maulsbys than William's family in Maryland. They are recorded in Gunpowder, Deer creek, Little Falls, Baltimore, Hope- well and Deer Creek ^Monthly Meetings. The descendants of these early Maulsbys are quite numerous in Baltimore and vicinity and to the west. John Maulsliy (<')) lived in ^Maryland al)out nine years, the children Elenor, Jdhn and Lydia l)cing born there. 24th oi Oth month, 1780, at the Gunpowder jMonthly ]\Ieetiiig held at Little Falls, "Little Falls Preparative Meeting informs that John Maulsby requests a certificate for himself, Lydia his wife, and their seven children, Susanna, Ann, William, Sarah, Eleuor, John and Lydia." Tlie family moved to Virginia l78()-7, the certificate which was produced 80th of Oth month, 1787, being forwarded to them. Hopewell ^Monthly Meeting was in Frederick cimnty, about ten miles north of Winchester. John ]\raulsby lived south of Ilnpe- well in the locality of the Back (^reek fleeting. ''At Hopewell Monthly Meeting held the 5th of 11th month, 1787, a certificate for John ]\Liulsby and Lydia, his wife, and their children, Su- sanna, Ann, William, Sarah, Elenor, John and Lydia, from Gnn- ])(iw(ler ^Monthly Meetiug, in Maryland, dated the 30tli of Oth uionth, 1787, which was read and accepted." '•7th of the Oth month, 1780, Back Creek Preparative Meeting informs that John Maulsby requests a certificate for himself, wife and children to Xew Garden Monthly Meeting in Guilford county, North Carolina." "5th of lOtli month, 1780. The Friends a]ipointed 30 GENEALOGY OF THE to provide a certificate for John Maulsby, Lydia, his wife and seven children, Ann, William, Sarah, Elenor, John, Lydia and Ebenezer, produced one which was read, approved and signed." The family lived south of Hopewell for two or three years. The young- est child Ebenezer was born there. As he grew older, Ebenezer, not liking his name, named himself David, by wliich name he will be known in this book. Susannah was married in Virginia and did not go with the family. Although their certificate was to New Garden, ]^. C, the Xew Garden, Guilford county records fail to record their arrival. They may have changed their plan, and like many other emigrants of that time pushed on to the west in the hope of getting away from slavery. Or they may have gone di- rectly to Lost Creek, as the territory of the New Garden Monthly Meeting included eastern Tennessee. They arrived at Lost Creek, Tennessee, some time in 1789. This was, for John and Lydia, their last move ; after their wander- ings here was home. They were useful and honored mem- bers in the new settlement and wdien life's work was over they were laid in the Lost Creek burying ground, where the cedar trees keep vigil. LOST CREEK SETTLEMENT. Lost Creek, the central valley of East Tennessee, lies between the Erench Broad and Holston rivers. A creek fed by springs, run- ning through the valley westward, sinks and runs under Maliony hill, coming to the surface again near the Holston river, of which it is a tributary. This peculiarity of the creek gives the name Lost Creek to the creek and valley. To the north, the Clinch mountain range is visible ; to the south Bay's mountain range, Bluif mountains, and then a mass of peaks and ridges thrown up in wild confusion. The scenery is grand, the climate healthful. John Mills (father of William Mills whom Sarah Maulsby mar- ried) moved from North Carolina into the valley of Lost Creek about 1784, when it was a wilderness with only one cabin to the MAULSBY FAMILY. 31 west — it was then known as Greene county, X. C. The family moved in wagons, taking horses, cows and farm machinery. Earlier emigrants crossing the mountains had traveled on pack horses, along trails. The family followed the ''Wilderness" route, the road along which, probably every one of the families from Guil- ford county, ]Sr. C.^ passed en route to Lost Creek. Starting at G reensborough — west to Winston — up the river valley to ]\It. Airy — across the Blue Ridge mountains and ]^ew River to Abingdon, Va., southwest into Tennesee where Bristol now stands — a wind- ing route through the mountainous country near the source of the Holston river — past the site of Elizabethton, to Jonesboro — to Greenville — through Bull's Gap in the mountains — to Morristown — to Mossy Creek — and then to Lost Creek. William ]\Iills, then a hul of fifteen, in telling of this trip to a grandson, said that when they came down the Blue Ridge, the incline was so steep that they locked both hind Avagon wheels and chained a tree with branches on to the back of the wagon, to help hold back and break the se- verity (if the slmek when the wagon struck the bottom. There was a settlement of Friends a few miles north of Jonesboro, and an- other, called Xew Hope, eight or nine miles east of Greenville. John Mills left part of his family at the Greene county settle- ment in the present Greene county, and taking the older boys with him, l)uilt a cabin about one and a half miles east of the place where Lost Creek sinks under Mahony hill, over two miles from the point where the creek joins the Holston river. They cleared ten acres and planted a crop. William was cook, Avasher and sup- plied them with wild game. Later, the rest of the family went to the new home, and others with them who settled there. There was no road to the west and none to the north. John Maulsby moved there in 1789, buying land west of John Mills; Henry and Rachel Thornburgh with their younger children about the same time. Bar- achiah ]\Iacy and family in lSOi\ Charles Oshorn and Elihu Swain at an early (lat(\ all three buying land close to John ]\[ills' on the west. Isaac llanmuM- owned the farm vvhere the creek 32 GENEALOGY OF THE sinks. Thomas and Ann Marshall and children from Xorth Caro- lina were among the early settlers. In bnilding cabins, puncheon floors were nsed, the i^lanks nsed in bnilding and for tables and cupboards being sawed with a whip-saw. Farm products of that time were corn, oats, wheat, buckwheat, pumpkins, garden vege- tables, flax and cotton. The nearest postoffice was Greenville, sixty miles away — today there is rural free delivery in the same neigh- borhood. 'Jliis being a Quaker settlement one would expect among the first things, the estal:)lishment of a ]\Ieeting and a school. John ]\iaulsby's family, like many other settlers at Lost Creek, were recorded as members of Xew Hope Monthly Meeting in Greene county, organized 1795, the first Monthly Meeting in Tennessee. The Xew Hope records have been found, but give no account of the acceptance of certificates of the Lost Creek settlers. New Hope Meeting belonged to the K^ew Garden, IST. C, Meeting. It is prob- able that the Mills, Maulsby, Thornliurgh, Mendenhall, ]\Iarshall and other families of Lost Creek, were among those who requested jSTew Hope Meeting, and were claimed as organizing members, and not accepted by certificate. A complaint, coming from Xew Llope, against William Maulsby (15) for dancing, gives the clue that John Maulsby's family membership was there. Friends at Lost Creek held their first meetings at John IMill's log cabin, later in his new hewed log house, which is still standing. John Mills gave the Friends land south of his house for a grave yard and a lot for the Meeting House and school house. A hewed log Meeting House about 30x40, was built 1700-05. The shingles of the roof were juit on with wooden pins, the holes for the pins being bored with a brace and bit. The lathing was split out and the planks sawed with a whipsaw. It was soon enlarged by the addition of another part the size of the first. This church stood until the close of the Civil War when it was replaced by a painted wooden building. For nearly fifty years there has been a village. Friends' Sta- tion, near the church. to 7. (There had been Preparative meeting before.) Xathan and Jacob Hunt of Xorth Carolina attended the opening of the meeting. Isaac Jones and Israel Elliot produced certificates of membership from Center Meeting, ]^. C. Henry Thornburgh and Richard Hayworth were appointed representatives to the (Quarterly Meeting. Abra- ham Wdodward was the first clerk. (From the minutes of the first ^Monthly Meeting at Lost Creek.)

The meeting house at Lost (h'eek was used for the school until a school house was Iniilt, about ISOO. The school house was on the o be o O MAULS BY FAMILY. 35 lot with the meeting house, both facing the south. The school house, which is still standing, allhough ni()V('(l IVom the original site, was about 20x25 feet, made (if hewed pine logs, with foui- small windows. A big lire place w^as at the west end. The benches without backs, were made of slabs. The writing table, about three feet wide, extended along the north side of the room. William ^lorgan and (diaries Osborn were ])r(imin('nt early teachers. The Xew Testament was used as a reading book. The American S})elling Book Avas used and spelling considered a very important part of instruction. ''Fowler's Arithmetic" and Writing com- pleted the course of study. Sarah (10), Elenor (17), John (18), Lydia (ID) and David :Maulsby (20) attended school at Lost Creek. All v a later one. The first modern abolition society was the Tennessee Manumis- sion Society, organized at the Lost (h-eek Meeting House January 25, 1815. The eight charter nunnbers were Charles Osborn, John Canaday, John Swain, John Underbill, Jesse Willis, David Maulsby, Eliliu Swain and Thomas Morgan. In a preamble they extoled the constitution and government and claimed that it was the duty of the free sons of Colund)ia to secure these blessings to the colored ])eo])le. Thy ado])tod the following constitution. "1. Each mendx'r to have an advertisement in the most con- sjiiciious part of his house in the following words, viz. : 'Freedom is the natural right of all men; I therefore acknowledge myself a mend)er of the Tennessee Society for Promoting the Manumission of Slaves.'

Branches of this society were cstal)lished in ()ther ])arts of Ten- nessee and ill ISTorth Carolina. (Gathered from an article written by Charles W. Osborn, Economy, Ind. ) In front of the Lost Creek meeting house, to the south, is the grave yard, in a grove of cedar trees. The graves are marked by blocks of rough sandstone, very few of the stones being lettered. Plain, but with no suggestion of poverty, is this burial place of our fathers. 0. John Maulsby died l:)efore March 8, in 1809. Lydia Mauls BY' died 181G. THE JOHN FAMILY. Samuel John and Griffith J(Jni -were sons of John Philip, of Pembrokeshire, Wales. According to the Welsh custom they took their father's first name for their last name. They came to this country in 1709, and settled in Uwchlan township, Chester county, Pa. Uwchlan is a Welsh word, signifying ''Land above the Val- ley," and was given to a township lying just north of what is called the "Great Valley." The settlers of Uwchlan township were Welsh. It is not clear whether Sanmel John brought his wife with him from Wales, or was married in Pennsylvania. If married in Pennsylvania it was before he joined the Society of Friends, as no mention is made of their marriage on the records of the meeting. His wife's name was Margaret.

In 17G3 Uwehlan ^Monthly ]\Ieeting was established, it in(duded the m(>etings of I'wchlan, Xantmel and Pikeland. Samuel John, in his will, dated 1701, provides for Margaret his wife; gives to son Samuel £20 ; to daughter, Mary Griffith, £5 ; to daughter Margaret, wife of James John, £5 ; to daughter Elenor, wife of William Downing, £10; to daughter Rebecca, wife of Stephen Philips, £10; to son Daniel, the homestead, containing 130 acres.

Susannah Manlsby was Itorn in Pennsylvania ])r(ibably in the Plynionth settlement, as the family held membership at that time in (i\yvnedd Monthly Meeting. With ])arents she removed to ^Maryland in 1777, nine or ten years later going on with them to northern \"irginia. Susannah, or '*Aunt Susie,''' as she was called in later life, was fair coinplexioned, like the .Manlsbys, with blue eyes and light hair. She was of medium size, had a bright mind and good memory. When young she liked outdoor work, helping her father, even in the iields. At one time, when at work with him grubbing, she became faint. lie said to her, "Loosen thy pretty coat." She did so and sat doAvn under a hush, amused that he made so light of her illness. The following is found among the marriage licenses of Frederick county, Xn. : ''Henry Baldwin, License to nuirry Susamiah ]\[anlsby October 21st, 1790." Henry Baldwin was the son of Henry and ^Margaret Baldwin. His father was lost at sea. \\ the time of Susannah's nuirriage, it was a very grave offense among the Quakers to be married "out of meeting.'' From the 48 GENEALOGY OF THE records of the Hopewell Monthly Meeting held the 1st day of the 11th month, 17!)0. "Hopewell Preparative Meeting' informs that Susannah Baldwin, formerly ^lanlsbv, hath accom])lished her marriage, by the assistance of a Hireling Teacher," the necessary arrangements being made to look after her case. And again, ''At Hopewell Monthly Meeting held Ith of -ttli month, 1701, Xew Garden (]N. C.) Monthly Meeting informs that they visited Sn- sannah Baldwin, according to our request, and find the charge to be just against her," arrangements being made to provide a testi- mony against her. The record does not state the result of the grave (?) investigation, whether she was disowned from member- ship, or the matter adjusted so that she received her letter. Henry Baldwin was probably a member of the Friends' church, as no complaint was entered against Susannah for marrying one not a member of that Society. This complaint is given to show that she and husband were at Xew Garden, IsT. C, after her father's fam- ily had gone to Tennessee. They removed soon, however, to Ten- nessee, buying a farm three miles southwest of the Meeting House at Lost Creek. The children attended school in Knox county. Henry Baldwin was a farmer. He had also a ''Hatter Shop," where the entire hat or cap was made in the shop. Henry Baldwin died in Tennessee 1814-15. Later, Susannah, a widoAv moved with her daughters to Indiana. The following record is of her second marriage. Adam Ceeshee^ Susannah Baldwin, Oct. 30, 1823. Jacob IsT. Booker^ J. P. At Centerville, Wayne county, Indiana." This marriage was unhappy, as Adam Crcsher was a drinking man. Susannah lived with him only a short time, wishing after- ward to be called Susie Baldwin. For years she lived alone in Economy, Ind., supporting herself by selling table oil cloths, which she made. She understood a process of preparing muslin, ])ainting MAULSBY FAMILY. 49 it black and stamping it with bright colors. These oil cloths were made ont of doors in the summer. In the fall, she saddled her horse and took them ont to sell, going generally into the sonthwest part of the connty, where there was a German settlement. She bronght on her blindness by working on the bright colored oil cloths in the snnshine. Snsannah was very enthnsiastic abont the "John Estate" in Wales, hnnting records and dreaming dreams. When the estate was received, she was going to have a "pacing horse and a saddle with a gold stirrnp." She wrote poetry, the poetical talent showing itself again in her great-grandchild, Alice (Williams) Brotherton. Abont 1S54 she went to live with her yonngest daughter Snsannah Wright and her family at iZconomy. She lived to be over \)'2. ITer hair was white as snow, her dream of the Estate had failed, she was almost totally blind, l)nt was bright and cheerfnl, saying, "Oh, it's nothing to l)e old if yon don't feel old!" She died in lS(jl, and was l)nried in the grave yard belonging to the Springtield (Quaker ]\Ieeting, near Economy, Ind., beside her Itrother, David Alanlsbv. 1-i.

She removed with parents to Maryland in 1777, nine or ten years later to Vir- ginia, and to Tennessee in 17S!). She was fair complexioned with blue eyes and light hair, of medinni size and weight. Her grand- son reniendjers hearing her tell of going to mill when she was a girl. It was prol)al)ly when they lived sontli of Hopewell, Va. The iVlleghany monntains were to the west, with settlements be- yond. She said she used to ride a horse and lead a pack horse ANN (MAULSBY) THORNBURGH. that carried the wheat and corn. Her route lay over a mountain, the trip taking two days. This incident and that of Susannah grubl)ing in the field, recall to mind the fact that altliough in a (Quaker settlement, John Maulsbys were surrounded by people who had slaves. Slavery was contrary to the teachings of the Friends. About 175 8 it became with them a dishonorable offense to hold slaves, or to employ them or give any encouragement whatever to the work of bondage.

Ann Manlsby and Ilenrv Thornbnrgh were married at Lost Creek, Tenn., the births from the above family record being taken from tlie Lost Creek jMonthly INIeeting records. They owned a farm at Lost Creek, northeast of the chnrch, but sohl ont, and in 1819 removed in wagons to Indiana, tlie trip taking six weeks. Henry's brother Walter and sister Soi)hia Williams (a widow) with their families were of the company. Henry bought land of the government at $1.25 per acre on West Eiver about three miles from Economy. Ann, or "Aunt Xancy" as she was called, was very benevolent and of a gentle disposition. To the offending grandchild she would say with a smile, "If thee does not mind me, I will ])ut a stick on thy back." Henry was a determined num, set in his convictions, and must ])e obeyed, right or wrong. Ann did both spinning and weaving and was a tine needlewoman. She was a Quaker milliner, making the finest of Quaker bonnets. Ann and Henry Thornburgh lived together nearly sixty-eight years, Henry's death l)eing the tirst in the family. Henry died in Wayne county, Ind., August 11, 1SG2, and was buried in West Iviver burying ground. Several years after Henry's death, "Aunt Xancy" came to Iowa to make her home, but died soon after coming, October 15, 1807, when nearly !)6 years old, and was buried in the S])ring Valley cemetery, one mile south of Perry, Iowa.

Jonathan was born in Tennessee, January (i, 1703, lived to be 85 years old. Elizabeth (Dennis) Tliornburgh was Ixirn January 4, ITOT), also lived to be S5. Jonathan was a (|uiet man; a good hnancier. All of Jonal ban's children except Henry made their houies in In- diana. In middle life Henry and family moved to Dallas county, Iowa, where nearly all of his children make their homes. THE THORNBURGH FAMILY. There is a tradition in this family, that two Tliornburgh brothers, young English Quakers, came to this country with Wil- liam Penn, but no proof has been found to verify the tradition. Probably the earliest account of the family is from the "Mills Family" when Henry Mills "married a Tliornburgh of the stock of Walter Th()rnl)urgh." There is no means of ascertaining where this marriage occurred, but it probably was near Winchester, in . Virginia, some fifteen years before the Mills family moved to jS'orth Carolina. Hopewell Monthly Meeting, in Frederick coun- ty, Va., was established in 1735. Unfortunately the first record book, from 1735 to 1751), Avas destroyed l)y tire. If Walter Tliorn- burgh lived there, the record of his family and certificate of re- moval were probably in that book. The Ho]jewell records men- tion Thomas and Benjamin Tliornburgh in 1759 ; Ann, Sarah and MAULS BY FAMILY. 53 Benjamin in 1773; and Abraham in 1775, hnt no elnc is aiven as to their rehitionshi]) with Walter IMmi'iiliuriih. The first eh'arlv (h-tined aeeoiint of (1) Walter Thornhuruh is from \e\v (iarden, Gnilford county, N. C, at the mai-riagv of his son Henry. On account of the custom of parents' signatures com- ing first among the witnesses, it is probable that Margaret Thorn- burgh was Walter's wife. The records of the Friends' church has the following: "Whereas (2) ILenrv Thornburgh, son of Walter Thornburgli of Tfoan county, and IJachel Moon, daughter of Simon Moon of the same place having declared their intentions of mar- riage with each other before several monthly meetings of the people called Quakers held at Xew Garden according to the good order estal)lished auioug them and nothing appearing to obstruct were left to their liberty to accomplish their marriage, the which they did on the li' of ye 7 mo. 1758, at Xew Garden, in the ])resence of many witnesses, twelve of whose names are here inserted to-wit: Margaret TiioRNBrKGii.

This was called in the early days the Tennessee settlement, be- canse of the great nnmber from Tennessee Avho settled there. Richard Williams moved there in ISl-t; Thomas Swain and fam- ily from ^orth Carolina in 1815 ; Miles Marshall and family in 1816; David Manlsby and family in 1817; Jesse Willis and fam- ily abont 1817; The Thornbnrghs and Ihiderhills, 1810; the rJor- dons, Gwinns and Elihu Swain at an early date. The land had to be cleared of a heavy timber. The farms were small — 100 acres, 80 or even 10, making the home. In tiie pioneer settlement the women did fnlly their share of the work. They took the raw cot- ton, spnn it and wove it into clothing, also flax of their raising- was made into clothing and bedding. They dressed ]dain after the Qnaker fashion, doing their sewing by hand. The families lived plain, the yonnger girls often doing the cookina, the older ones helping in the spinning and weaving. A Meeting ITonse called Springfield, having a grave yard in connection, was bnilt near Economy. West Kiver had its own Meeting Honse and grave yard. Chas. Osborn, who lived in early manhood at Lost C^reek, was perhaps the leading Qnaker preacher connected with the Springfield Meeting. The town of Economy, in the Tennessee settlement, was laid ont by Chas. Osborn in 18-21. There were schools there as early as 1817. Reading, spelling, writing and arithmetic were tanglit ; also grannnar for the boys, bnt it was thonght innuodest for girls to study grammar. Some of the early teachers were Elijah Reynolds, Elijah Mendenhall, Jimmy Os- born and Miner \^a Marshall. There was a strong anti-slavery sen- timent from the fonnding of the settlement. The most noted anti- slavery meeting w^as the district anti-slavery convention held at the Springfield Meeting Honse, Xovend)er 0-10, 1840. Isaiah Osborn, son of Charles Osborn, was made president and John ]\r. MAULS BY FAMILY. 79 Williams secretary. Daniel Worth was one of a committee of three to prepare business for the convention. This convention recommended that the abolitionists of the United States call a convention to noiiiinato a candidate for President and Vice-Presi- dent for the election of 1S44. A state convention for the ])roiiio- tion of political anti-slavery action, was held at Xewjiort, Wayne county, February 8, 1841. Thus was begun in Indiana part of the great movement which eventually freed the slaves. In 1843, Charles Osborn was sent as a delegate to the Peace convention lield in London. The following quaint poem, found in an old paper, is eloquent of the Quaker thought, that the slaves could be freed by means of peace. ADDRESS. To Charles Osbobn^ the Indiana J)elegate to the World's Con- vention to be held in London on the 13tli of the Gtli month 1843. Not to the fatal battlefield. Where mortal must to mortal yield. We summon thee to go, Not to stand uu in mortal strife To take a fellow motal's life And make a widdow of a wife. And fill the earth with wo; But to the glorious moral field. The potent arms of truth to wield. The needs' from the strong to shield, And break the oppressor's rod. To plead for justice in his name Who came to heal the blind and lame. And is to all mankind the same, A .iujt and righteous God. We ask thee not to leave thy home. And o'er the mighty deep to roam. Where stormy tempests often come. On any slight pretension; P.ut to unite with kindred souls. Prom every clime between the poles. Near where the Thame? majestic rolls. In one august Convention: 80 . GENEALOGY OF THE To hear the bondman's bleeding cause, And plead for truth and equal laws. In fear of him whose mandate awes The tempest to be still. We ask thee, aged as thou art. With friends and relatives to part. And for a foreign clime to start. Obedient to His will. 'Twill be a most majestic sight. To see a world convened, to fight For what is true and what is right. With none but arms of peace. The booming cannon need not tell That many a fellow man has fell And made the streams with purple swell. To make oppression cease. Our motto is not blood for blood, But 'tis the living truth of God, Which man has never yet withstood Without Divine displeasure^ Peace and good will to every man. Of every grade, and clime, and clan, We aim to deal out, if we can. In a, prolific measure. And may that God who rules above. In bowels of eternal love. Be pleased to haste the hour. When not a slave shall till the soil. Or man be made for man to toil By arbitrary power. No garment died in human gore Shall shroud the warrior's form, when o'er His head the banner floats. And victor songs are rising high. To stir the quiet of the sky With their rejoicing notes. And when thy trials here are o'er, May'st thou land safely on that shore Where troubles cease forevermore. DANIEL HILL. MAULS BY FAMILY. 81 The next generation of the Maulsbvs shows that the sons of these who advocated methods of peace, with (Quaker blood in their veins and the peace words ringing in their ears, took arms at tlieir conntrv's calL The nnnd)er of relatives who served in the army shows that none were more loval than the Maulsbvs. The Wayne county settlement marks the parting of the way in regard to membership in the Friends church. In the breaking ofp of the anti-slavery Friends, many of our family lost their mem- bership in the parent body. Some lost their meml:)ersliip by marry- ing "out of meeting;'" others for seeing some one married out of meeting. The younger members were annoyed by what they thought an over strictness about their dress, amusements and attending other meetings. All our Maulsl)ys to the fifth genera- tion were Quakers. IS^early all the fifth generation began life as Quakers, the "thee and thy" and the Quaker discipline being in their homes, but in later life fully one-half joined other denom- inations or renuiined out of church relations. In the sixth genera- ation the Friends church has only its share among Christian de- 'lominations. FIFTH GENERA TION 21. REBECCA N. BALDWIN ninrricd Ilozokiali Williams. CHILDREN SIXTH GEXEKATION.

He was of powerful physique. He was known as a great anti-slavery worker, and many a fugitive slave found a friend in him. The family moved from Kentucky to Ohio, buying land in the "Clark ]\Lilitary Lands." The title to this land being defective, they soon moved (in 1819) to Clinton county, Ohio, buying the farm on which the family lived until Amos' death in 18 5 G. Marv (John) Davis was of Welsh and German parentage. Her father Isaac John, was a Quaker, her mother a High Church communi- cant. Mary was a small, blue-eyed woman of great kindness of heart. She was a member of the Friends church. Her son, Job H., in 1819 paid the following tribute of respect to her memory. The lines are found in an old all)um in Jol) H.'s handwriting. "How oft do I think of a dear, sainted, motlier. Long since in the land where the weary find rest, It kindles my soul with a flame I can't smother I know she's an angel on Abraham's breast. Her pious advice on my mind is engraven — As oft she did point to the "Volume of Life," That told of a Savior, and promised a Heaven, Exempt from all tumult, all care and all strife." From reference to the John family, it will be seen that Isaac John, son of Sanniel John and Ann (Jenkin) John, took a cer- tificate for himself and wife, Lydia and children Rebecca, Samuel and Elizabeth, to Exeter Monthly Meeting, Berks county, Pa., 8-8-1772. Isaac John must have nnn-ried again, as the bible of Job H. Davis at Lizton, Indiana, has a list of the following: MAUL8BY FAMILY. 139 CHILDKEX OF ISAAC^ JOHX AXD ^lARGARET HIS WIFE. Jacob^ 1778.

Tliere is regret, in laying down the pen, in not being able to follow the history of the Sixth Generation. The material could be easily ol>tained, bnt the history of that great company, 319, would so enlarge the book as to defeat the plan, that it should be a handy record book for each family. The hope is that each will continue the record by adding that of his own family, and of his children's families. Yo\ir kinswoman of the Seventh Generation.
