John Gregg (M) b. 1576, d. 1644, #2589 | ||
| Biography* | "...there can be little doubt that the name Gregg derived from the ancient Scottish clan of MacGregor. It seems likely also that the derivation was the result of warfare between the MacGregor clan and the Scottish kings resulting in a decree that no one with the name MacGregor `could be baptized, married or buried'! If so, it's no wonder that the name became Gregg. `After the fighting had ended, many of the Gregs as they were called settled in Glenarm, Ireland, John Greg, their leader presented by King James I with a silver-studded ivory-headed cane for their services... The cane was brought to America and is still in possession of the Gregg family of Fredericktown, Ohio. John Gregg (1576-1644) decreed that the second son should be given the cane, as the oldest son usually inherited the land." (Ref: Precious Blood The William Gregg Family.) | |

James Brown1 (M) b. circa 1656, d. circa 1715, #2600 | ||
| Father* | William|Richard Brown | |
| Mother* | (?) (Brown Spouse) | |
| Biography* | James Brown "settled in 1701 on a tract of land called Nottingham on Octoraro Creek in the western part of Chester Co., PA." (Hadley Genealogy) "The following account concerning William Brwon senior and some of his predecessors and connections (he being one of the first settlers in Nottingham) was taken in writing in the year ____ and was produced and read at the monthly meeting head at ____ Nottingham, the 28th of the 1st month 1786, and being approved, was allowed to be entered on record in the book for birth and burials, belonging to said monthly meeting; as it was apprebe___ed to contain some profitable memorandum concerning the pious ancestors of many living in those parts. Cerify'd on the said Meeting's behalf, by George Churchman. "An account of the convincement and some remarkable circumstances relating to the father of the above named William Brown sneior in England, whose name is believed to have been also William and whose sons William and James [our line] came ____ to settle in Pennsylvania in early times and not in the first vessels that arrived. "The ____r residence of their said father was supposed to be in Bedfordshire or Northhamptonshire in a village or parish called Paddington near Wellingborough though before it is said the dwelling was in another part of England of which we have no clear account. By his ____ _______ he was some time in comm____r with the ___________ ____________ with the sect called Puritans and is said to have been a preacher among both and a seeking __________ man whose mind was drawn into careful endeavors after the Purity of Life. About the _____ going forth eminent minister of the Gospel, William B___bury became __ the town where this pious man dwelt who observed him as he was p__ing along_ and tfaking motice of th solidity of his countenance invited him to turn in and break bread with him who accepted the invitation and when they sat down the said William Brown had a little ____ _____ or what is called grace before meat. William Dewabury was invited to ____ himself but sitting in a grave manner he replied, `if thous will but partake with me I shall be free to partake with thee.' After a short silence he was drawn forth in Testimony beginning with these words, `O Earth! Earth! hear the word of the Lord.' branching out in a pewerful manner which effectually reached and convinced this religious man. After this he accompanied W. Dewsbury on the way towards a neighboring village and recommended him ot a certain man's house, who was likewise religiously inclined and was also effectually convinced on W. D.'s visit. When Wiulliam Brown came back his wife asked him wherefore he brought that madman to their house: he answered `why woman he hath brought the Eternal Truth of God to us.' She was some what affected and did not then know the meaning of it; but becoming more inwardly thoughtful, she was also convinced. "William Dewsbury returning some time afterwards, it is mentioned that William Brown obtained leave for him to attend at the Parish Church, so called, and by his powerful testimony there many prople were convinced. But the Prients and others who were hard hearted were much enraged against Friends, becoming cruel both in speech and ill treatment; terming the power which attended their ministry, witchcraft, and endeavouring to stir up persecution, which greatly increased in those days. "After the said William Brown's convincement his landlord sent him a couple of young hounds to feed and raise for him, being a wild airy man and given to sporting and merriment, but his tenant was not free to give countenance to such vain diversions and therefore did not coply with his desire,-- at which his landlord was much displeased and having generally paid his rent at a set time every half year to a seward appointed to receive the rents, he had not been careful to demand receipts, the steward appearing honest and trusty; but the landlord out of humour with him as above hinted taking advantage of his neglect came and demanded the rent. He told him it was paid at the proper day. The landlord then queried if he had a receipt, to whom he answered `No,' as he had not been in the way of asking receipts expecting there would be no occasion: yet the cruel man said, `except you will take your oath that it is paid, you shall pay it to me:" and being of tender conscience on that account because he believed our Savior had forbideen all swearing, this Friend had to pay his rent over again. After this the landlord was bitter and not fond of seeing him, being probably condemned in himself for such usage, yet turned him off the farm, and Friends at that time being viewed in an unfavourable light by many because of their singularity and conscientious scruples in divers matters which differed from the corrupt ways of the world, it occasioned him considerable difficulty before he found another farm to settle on to his mind. "From his industry and upright conduct on the second farm he was in good repute and much in favor with his new landlord. The Lord prospered him in his worldly affairs and otherwise. "The time of decease of this valuable man is computed to be about the year 1664, haveing been an approved minister. On his death bed and near the close of his life he was abundantly favoured with a sense of the Divine presence near him, greatly to his comfort and the encouragement of his children, in a holy conformity to the cross of Christ, whereby the sting of death is removed, and the soul enabled to triumph over Hell and the grave. For although for the trial of the faith and patience of this saint and for the firtherance of his own purpose in spreading Gospel light and glory in the Earth to discover the corruptions of men in their empty ferr___ of religion and to shake the Kingdon of Amtichrist the Lord may permit his chosen servants to pass through great tribulations and persecutions yet he manifesteth himself to be a rich rewarder of those who are diligent to seek and serve him through all that is suffered ot come upon them of cwhich it appears (by the s___ant mentioned by his som William aforesaid) this faithful friend our predeceasor was a living witness in his latter days existing __-ter this manner to his wife before he departed "although the Lord whom I have sought and served hath been my staff and core___t through life -- he hath oftern mafifested his power to me e_____ly, yet his divine favor seems now to be more than ever beforeand for thy comfort he hath even showed me that thou shall live to bring up all cour children and they shall be blessed and all favoured to keep their habitations in the Truth; which was fulfilled according to the account given by his said son, who mentioned, `I am a witness that this was a true prophsey, for I am the youngest of his nine children (he having had 6 sons beside, and two daughters) who all lived and were favoured to die in unity with Friends.' "William Brown, son of the aforesaid Friend by the account we have was born about the year 1656 and was perhaps _ ____ ____ eight years old at his father's death. He hinted a remarkable circumstance that occured in his very young years, neatly as follows, viz. In or about the year 1668, persecutions in England having arisen very high and hot (?) against Friends for attending their religious meetings & c his parents had suffered greatly and were much stripped of their property for fines & c, and he the ___ child about seven years of age, became very thoughtful of the cause of these things the old adversary Satan persd_________ that such a religion was ___ that occasioned people to be brought under so great difficulty on account of it and that he ___ required such things of them was a hard ___ and not a ____ being. These insinnation_ became so strong in his mind that one night after he went to bed he was sorely tempted to D___ the Almighty; under which trial a great terror came over him ___ was afraid to do so, and thereupon roared out loud which affrightened his mother that she came to his bedside to see what ailed him but being favoured to resist the tempter he was quickly helped be far over the temptation as to stop crying out (being ashamed to tell his mother wat happened to him,) and before she came to him he was quiet again. His mother observing him so concluded he had been asleep and was affected by a drem, so returned with out speaking to him. He kept his condition ot himself and did not discover it to anyone at that time, and being thus preserved he was not tried with the like again. It had a tendency to open his understanding and to convince him fully that his parents were right and that the religion they suffered for , was the truth itself, which in the end maketh men free indeed, and enables them to wish well and to seek the good of all men, even those who hat and persecute them. "After William Penn obtained a grant from King Charles II for the province of Pennsylvania, and upon the proposal thereupon of many Friends removing from England to settle in America, there was a doubt in the minds of some (who were valuable) about the propriety of such a removal, lest it should be deemed flying from persecutaon; but William Dewsbury travelling into those parts wehre the Browns lived, in or near Northamptonshire, had a meeting there and proved as the means of settling and reconciling the minds of some that were in doubts, expressing in his testimony to this effect: `The Lord is about to plant the wilderness of America with a choice vine or noble seed which shall grow and flourish,' and in the language of aprophet divinely inspired, he added nearly thus: `I see them, I see them, under his blessing arising into a state of prosperity>' thereby fortelling the spreading of Truth in America. "James Brown and William Brown, sons of the Friend first mentioned, sometime after this concluded to remove over to this contry but James, it is apprehended by some, came over first, in a single state. William's first wife could not give up to it cheerfully but he having a clear sense of duty therein,_____ that the Lord wonderfully made way for and assisted him, insomuch that all difficulties relative to his removal disappeared, and his affairs were settled to satisfaction; being marvelously helped many times and divers ways on the passage and after his arrival. "He landed at New York about the year 1898 [handwritten in margin: wrong-1684]. His wife died at sea. James Brown (by account) settled first near Markum Hook in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where his brother William after he came in, dwelt for a time, but did not purchase land there as that did not appear to be the fixed place for their residence for about the year 1701, William apprehenced it his duty to remove further westward, and accordingly in 1702 he removed with his family to settle at Nottingham about 40 miles distnat from Markum Hook a large tract of land being laid out there in that year and called by that name being deemed in Pennsylvania, but was situated on the border of Maryland, and was accounted far back in the wilderness. His brother James [our line] after some time came and settled in the same neighborhood where he dwelt the remainder of his time, and deceased about the year 1715 being a religious mand and of a good character, but not favoured with a capacity of talent equal to his brother William. His wife's name was Honour, the daughter of William Clayton. "The memorandums of the before occurrences were taken down from the relation of William Brown last mentioned (in the 80th year of his age) re retaining the same fresh and lively in his memory; having divers times heard the subdstance of it related by William Brown senior, who was his grandfather's brother. "He lived until about the 91st year of his age, remaining tender and lively in spirit, and retaining till near the close of his life, a clear sense and rememberance of the power and workings of Truth in the time of severe persecution, in his minority. "He deceased in West Nottingham, Pennsylvania, the 23rd of 6th month, 1746, having lived there about 44 years, in good repute for his integrity; being an elder in the Church, and a substantial Friend." "The foregoing account is perhaps in the main correct, but the Browns certainly arrived in this country earlier than has been intimated. James Brown appears to have been a resident at Marcus Hook before William Penn obtained a grant for Pennsuylvanis. His father in law, William Clayton, immigrated in 1677, bringing his family with him; and if James was married in this county, he must have arrived as early as 1680. He was by trade a weaver, but doubtless carried on farming to some extent, like most of the tradesmen among the early colonists. He obtained a patent dated 20th of 12th month 1683, for 115 acres of land on Chichester creek, which he spelled `Podiagton.' This he conveyed to his son William 21st of June 1705 who sold it to Frances Bowater, (widow) 21st Feb 1707\08. James Brown owned several tracts or pieces of land in Chichester township, whcih he sold to various persons, before his removal to Nottingham. His brother William came from England in 1682 or 1683 (?). He was married in 1684 to Ann Me____, in 1699 to Catherine Williams of Philadelphia and a fourth time in 1711 to Mary Matthews. The name of his first wife was Dorothy. The annexed list of descendants from James and William Brown, though incomplete, may be of interest to some. The information is chiefly obtained from the records of Nottingham Monthly Meeting. 2mo. 6th 1864 Gilbert Cope West Chester, Pa." (Gilbert Cope, The Browns of Nottingham ) | |

"Joshua's home was located in Chatham County, NC near the village of Snow Camp. In 1920, the place was owned by Alvis M. Hadley, a direct descendant of Joseph Hadley, younger brother of Joshua. At that time only the foundation walls of the home remained. "Joshua was a Quaker, and he and his family were members of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting until Spring Monthly Meeting was established in 1793 at which time they became members of the latter meeting. The Cane Creek Meeting House was located near Snow Camp, and the Spring Meeting House was erected about six miles to the east on land donated by Thomas and Ruth Lindley, parents of Joshua's wife, Ruth. "While Joshua remained a Quaker, he has been recognized as one of the Patriots of the American Revolution having rendered material aid to the American forces during the war. In the Department of Archives, NC, and 'History of Raleigh County, NC', may be found: Accounts of United States with North Carolina, War of Revolution. On p. 88 of Report no. 83, dated July 1783, and Book C, p. 103, is the following: 'For sundries furnished and cash paid the Militia of North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina *** no. 3376 to Joshua Hadley no. 3373 5-12-4.' This entry qualifies descendants for membership in the D. A. R. or S. A. R. Further, Joshua is listed on p. 292 of the DAR Patriot Index, published by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1966. Joshua's will probated in 1815 in Chatham County, NC mentions wife, Jane, children Joseph, Jeremiah Piggot and Sarah, Thomas, Simon, William, John, Nathaniel Edwards and Mary, Jonathan, Jacob, Joshua, Joseph, Jeremiah, Jesse Dickson and Catherine, Benjamin Piggot and Patience."

| Biography* | "Thomas Lindley served as a member of the Provincial Assembly in PA. In 1753, he and his wife Ruth moved to the Cane Creek area of north-central NC, where they were soon joined by Ruth's brother Joshua and sister Hannah and their families. They were among the early members of Cane Creek Meeting and later were among the organizers of Spring Meeting, established in 1773 about six miles east of the Cane Creek Meeting. Thomas donated six acres of land to the Spring Meeting. "In the early records of Orange County, NC, is found this agreement: -- 'Hugh Laughlin, Planter, on the one part, and Thomas Lindley, Planter, on the other, have agreed to become partners and in joint company to erect and build a water grist mill on Cane Creek, on the south side of Haw River. The water to be taken out of that land owned by Hugh Laughlin and the mill to be built on that part owned by Thomas Lindley, 3 3/4 acres. Sept. Court 1755.' "From a history of Hillsboro, Orange County, NC, 1750-1952, by Lefler and Wager: -'In September 1756 Thomas Lindley engaged, by contract, Hugh Laughlin to build and put into operation a grist mill on the banks of Cane Creek, which flows into the Haw River. Later, the Regulators took 39 barrels of flour from the Lindley Mill, located about 18 miles from Hillsboro, NC. He had the post office in his home, known as Lindleys Store. He died the same day the Battle of Lindley Mill was fought, probably in defense of his home, Sept 14, 1781. His family helped to care for the wounded and buried the dead in the church yard, Tories and Whigs alike. The mill building was torn down in 1875." (Hadley Genealogy, Vol. I) | |

| Biography* | "James Lindley and Eleanor Parke were married in County Carlow, Ireland. They settled in Chester County, PA in 1713, bringing credentials from a County Wicklow Meeting, Ireland, to the Kennett Square Meeting in PA. James Lindley purchased 200 acres of land in the north central part of Steyning Manor, the deed being dated Sept. 25, 1713. He and his wife were among the founders of the New Garden Meeting in Chester County, PA." (Hadley Genealogy, Vol. I) "This quotation is from Martha Hobson to her sister in Ireland: `Uncle James Lindlay and family is well and thrives exceedingly. He has eleven children and reaped last harvest about 800 bushels of wheat. He is a thriving man whereever he lives. He has a thousnad acres of land, a fine estate.' Regarding his funeral (from county records): `Funeral expenses fo James Lindley of London Grove, as shown by the accounts filed by his esecutors, were 4 pounds 10 shillings and ye coffin, 1 pound and 8 shillings, making almost 6 pounds, one of the most costly funerals at that time and locality.' Will 8 Oct 1726." (Ref: Chris Bailey, Lindley and Allied Family.) "This James Lindley came to America not later than 1713 as shown by the records of the Friends Monthly Meeting at Newark, now known as Kennett, in Chester County, PA. These records contain this reference to him that 'James Lindley brings to this meeting a Certificate from ye monthly meeting of Carlow in ye Kingdon of Ireland of his Life & conversation which is here read & accepted.' (Newark, now Kennett, Monthly meeting 3 Aug 1713.) "He settled in New Garden Township, in Chester County, and was a member of the New Garden Meeting. In 1721 he is mentioned as one of the subscribers to Sewel's History of the Society of Friends, a large folio work." "By deed of Sept. 25, 1713, from William Penn, Jr., James Lindley, of Chester County, Yeoman, bought 200 acres in New Garden. He purchased 400 acres in the new township of London Grove by deeds of March 13 and 14, 1722. He was called 'blacksmith' in the last mentioned deeds. He became the first constable of the London Grove township in 1723. "Of the forty-two taxable persons in London Grove in 1724 there were ten Irish Friends. Of these ten, James Lindley was one and the highest taxpayer of the ten, his tax being 19 shillings. "The inventory of his estate was made 10 mo. 23, 1726, found in Papers 229, Register's Office, West Chester, Penna., and here quoted from page 200 of Myer's Immigration of the Irish Quakers. "Purs and apparell L22. 12s.; 7 Beds and Furniture thereto belonging; 1 Chest of Drawers 2 Chests 2 Boxes and 1 Looking Glass; 4 Table Cloaths 13 Sheets and 1 warming pan; 2 pieces of Stuff and 1 Sett of New Curtains; fflax, 1 hackle, Chains, Salt box, Irons pots & Candle sticks; 2 mens Saddles 2 weomens Sadles 1 Pillion & 2 Bridles; Wool Cards, Sole Leather, Pewter, Brass Tin, & wooden ware; to Baggs, Mault, Indian Corn, Salt, Wheels & a half Bushell; Irons in Kitchen, Coopers ware & Earthen ware &c; Dressed Skin,, Books Iron Steel 2 Whip saws & 1 Cross; Carpenters Tools, pincers, Hows, Plows, Harrows & Ox Chains; Grinding Stones, Coles, Bells, Shovels, and forks &c; a Cart with the Geers and Chains, hooks and hors Shoes; Oak Boards, Scantling, 3 Guns & Bullet Moulds; Grubbing Axes; Well Chain, Wolf Trap, falling axes &c; Sickles, Scythes and Doe troughs; corn in the Barn, and Corn in the Mill, Corn in the ground, and Hay in the Meadow, 16 horses, Mares and Colts, 27 Cows, Oxen and Young Cattle; 10 Sheep and Swine; Smiths Tools in the Shop; one Servant Man; 5 Bonds and one Bill; Book Debts; Plantation and Improvements. (total value L1115. 9s. 8d.) "Looking glasses were very scarce in those days. The bells were probably used on the stock running at large to locate them. His was one of the largest estates in this locality. "The funeral expenses of James Lindley, of London Grove, as shown by the accounts filed by his executors were L4. 10s., and "ye Coffin, L1. 8s.," making almost six pounds, one of the most costly funerals at that time and locality."
