![]() This information goes on to note that the ancestry of Samuel Littler has been traced back to Cheshire, England. Samuel died 12 5th month 1727 Rachel married third Thomas Oldham. This Samuel Littler of Nottingham married 31 5th month 1707 RACHEL MINSHALL TAYLOR widow of THOMAS TAYLOR, and d/o John Minshall of Great Britain, at an appointed meeting in Middletown. Now, there is an excellent article in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly entitled "Early Settlers of the Nottingham Lots," which has information on a SAMUEL LITTLER which says he was a joint grantee with Robert Dutton of lots #29 and 31 in Nottingham. So, who is this Thomas Eldredg/Eldrig? Is he the THOMAS ELDRIDGE who appears on the 1721 Chester County, Pennsylvania tax list for Colne Twp and in other Chester County records? Records of Chester County births note that Simon Taylor s/o Thomas Taylor and his wife Rachel was born 5th 3rd month 1704 and this information comes from the New Garden Pennsylvania Quaker records. From all this, it looks like Rachel d/o Simon Taylor married Robert Lamb and another daughter of Simon Taylor married THOMAS ELDREDG. This suggests that Rachel Taylor was living in Rowan prior to the 1764 removal of her father Simeon Taylor. ![]() It appears from this information the couple had declared their marriage at New Garden in Rowan County. 540 of the Hopewell Friends book, there is a note that a ROBERT LAMB of Rowan County, North Carolina married Rachel Taylor d/o Simon of Opeckan, Virginia on the 29th 9th month 1757. This gets a bit more interesting because at the top of p. 541 of the Hopewell Friends History (North Carolina records), you will find that Simon Taylor was received on, but there is no mention of his wife or children, or of Mary Taylor and Katharine Eldrig. And, on the 7th day 5th month 1764 there was a removal from Hopewell to New Garden of a Mary Taylor and a KATHARINE ELDRIG. ![]() Now, the Hopewell records show a removal from Hopewell to New Garden of Simeon, his wife and children in 1764 as noted above. 407 and 407 of this book, you will find that Taylor removed from East Nottingham MM to Hopewell in 1738 and a Rachel Medcalf(e) also appears in this table of removals. If you read on in this book, you will find that on the 2nd day 4th month 1764, a Simeon Taylor, with his wife and children John and Ann, obtained a certificate to New Garden MM in Rowan County, North Carolina. 181 of this book, it is noted that one Simeon Taylor was the first Clerk of Hopewell MM, and that on the 28th 4th month 1738, a certificate of removal issued by East Nottingham MM was received for Simon Taylor and his wife. Given this introduction, consider the excerpt from a book "Hopewell Friends History." Hopewell was an early Quaker meeting established not too far from present-day Winchester, Virginia. The records of Rowan County, North Carolina indicate that a Thomas Eldredge married a daughter of one "Simon Taylor" of Rowan as proved by a Rowan County deed in which Eldredge conveyed a tract of land on the waters of Ready (probably Reedy) fork of a branch of Nard River on the south side of Beaver creek ".it being a certain piece of land Granted to him the said THOMAS ELDRIG by his father-in-law Simon Taylor as may be made to appear in the Records of Rowan Court. ![]() Witnesses: Mordecai James, David Brown, Micajah James.Ĭhildren listed in her will: My son, Simon Taylor, my son, Joshua Littler, Thomas Barrett, Granddaughter, Rachel (who married Elisha Brown) Will written To son Joshua Littler 5 shillings.Īll remainder of estate real and personal to granddaughter Rachel, wife of Elisha Brown, and Thomas Barrett to be divided.Įxecutors: Thomas Barrett and Elisha Brown.
