Note: He did not have any children of his own. Male line is extinct.Benjamin Paschall, A246
! by Clarence McDaniel October 1997Benjamin was born 16 April, 1690, in Bristol England, the son of Joseph and Mary
Wickham Paschall of that city. He is an interesting & mysterious character.He was named executor of his father's estate in 1712. He received only the
rents for a period of time, the property going to his married sisters. He
was not a Quaker but his parents were.Benjamin next appears as the purchaser of a lot, 41x200 ft on 2nd St in
Phila., PA. on the 15th of March, 1716. His uncle, Thomas Paschall, wrote
his will on Sep 12, 1716, naming Benjamin and Henry Flower as two of the
three executers. Henry Flower married Elizabeth, B3, a daughter of Thomas.Mary, B5, another daughter of Thomas, had married in 1699, William Say, as
his second wife. A son William Say, Jr, had been born in 1696 from the first
marriage. William Say, Sr, died October, 1714, and was buried by the Quakers
as a "non-Friend".Benjamin on March 15, 1719, sued in Orphan's court as the executor of
William Say for the return of 100 pounds due the estate for the orphans.
This money was given by Alice Guest, mother of William Say's first wife,
Mary Guest, to William. William gave this money (in trust for his son,
William, Jr) to George Guest, son of Alice Guest. George Guest in turn gave
the money to his brother-in-law, Anthony Morris (married Phebe Guest) for
the same purpose. Anthony, in court, stated that he thought he was the
guardian to the Say children. The court awarded the money to Benjamin and
made him guardian of the Say children. It appears that William Say, Jr, had
died prior to this court leaving no issue. There were five living children
of Mary and William Say at this time, named in court. These children's
births and deaths are listed in the Say Bible.That Benjamin married the widow, Mary Say, is well known from the Say Bible
and their wills and the book of Dr. Benjamin Say. It is not known when
this marriage occurred. If the
marriage took place c1716, then Benjamin was son-in-law to Thomas when he
wrote his will. This is most probable for as her husband he would be the
natural guardian (step-father) of the Say children. Benjamin was quite a bit
younger than his wife. It is likely that Benjamin was well loved by his
step-son, Thomas Say, as he named his son, Benjamin. Indeed, it would seem
like all the subsequent Paschalls named Benjamin derive from him.The Say Bible lists the death of Joanna, nee Paschall, Flower in 1728, aged
about 26. The Quaker records list that a Sarah Paschall married "contary to
disipline" in 1722. Neither of these women are known descendants, nor wives
of descendants, of Thomas, B. It would seem like there is yet another
unknown male line in this time and place.On October 16, 1716, at the Goshen monthly meeting, Chester county, Thomas,
B21, married Margaret Jones. Among the witnesses were Joanna Flower and
Mary Paschall.This record would appear to show that Joanna had already married Flower and
that Mary had married Benjamin by October 1716.Mary Paschall Say wrote her Bible from about the birth of her first child to
her death in 1734. After that her son, Thomas wrote in the Bible, it passing
to his son, Dr. Benjamin Say. In this Bible Mary wrote a sentence giving her
date and place of birth. She signed herself as Mary, late Say, Paschall. The
meaning of her "late" is "formerly". No date is given as to when this was
written but it was obviously after her marriage to Benjamin.When Benjamin wrote his will in 1729, he named his step-children and his
wife, Mary as heirs. He willed to Thomas Say the 3rd St property known as
"the burial ground". This shows that the property had been used as a
cemetery from sometime after Benjamin bought it on Sep 19, 1724.Mary wrote in her Bible that Benjamin died the 16th of May, 1730, and was
buried, "in his own burial ground".Since it is now known that Mary's first husband and his son, Richard, were
buried by the Quaker's as "non-Friends", in presumably a Quaker cemetery
then this 3rd St cemetery was a different place.When Mary died in 1734 her son, Thomas Say wrote that she was buried, "in
our own burial ground".
This was the 3rd st cemetery where Benjamin was buried since this now belonged
to Thomas and would be referred to in that manner by him. Thus, Mary was
buried beside her 2nd husband, Benjamin. Later Thomas Say and his son were
buried there also.Thomas Say was about five when his father died. He grew up knowing only his
step-father. He named a son, Benjamin. The son wrote a small book about his
father, published, 1796, which contains a little information. It would seem
that Benjamin was accepted as the father-in-fact to the Say children. It is
logical that this family were all buried together rather than separately.Swarthmore college sent the author a copy of a news clipping showing the
abandoned Say cemetery containing the statement that the city of Philadelphia
had taken over the property.This was long after the death of Dr. Benjamin Say.From the above we conclude that Benjamin was not the father of the T and C
lines. It now appears he left no issue and that his marriage to his cousin
was his first and only marriage.I think many more Paschalls came in this period than have been generally
recognized. Mary wrote that Elizabeth, late Paschall, Jenkins died 1726,
aged 93. This could only be her aunt, Elizabeth, A21, b 1633, sister to
Thomas. Mary also had an aunt named Mary who was alive 1712.
