Note

Note: He possibly came from Northumberland County, Virginia. John moved from New Jersey about 1687 and settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania prior to 1693. Shown as from Birmingham, Chester County, Penn.; where he was said to have occupied mill property of Darby,Chester, Penn. about 1693 and soon afterwards became the owner of the property. This land became part of Delaware County. The family was Quaker. John represented Chester County in the Provincial Assembly. Pennsylvania, Philadelphia County, Register of Wills, Will number 50, 1707.

John Bethell served in his time as a member of the Pennsylvania Colinial Legislature, a governing body of Quaker colony which had been set up 11 years previously by William Penn. John's will, dated 26 February 1707, mentions his wife, 6 children, the husbands of Mary and Sarah, and his brother-in-law, Richard Prker but it doesn't mention a son Joseph.

In May 1686 John bought 283 acres from Thomas Mat thews (both of Woodbury Creek, Gloucester Co., New Jersey) the land was on the south side of said Creek. Settled at Barby, Chester co. (now Delaware Co.) in 1693. From Smith's History of DelawareCounty:

"Bethel, John with his wife Frances and family, came to occupy the mill property of Darby about the year 1693, and he soon afterwards became the owner of it. He doubtless had resided in the country some time previously.

In 1699 his wife died, and in 1703 he married Jane Parker, by whom he had one child Samuel. (note: also Ann)

His children by his lst wife were John, Joseph, William, Sarah and Mary. John the younger intermarried with Rose Smith; Mary with Job Harvery; and Sarah with Obadiah Bonsall. The other children probably died unmarried (????). They were all in membership with Friends, and in the latter part of his life the elder John was active and influential in meeting affairs."

From John P. Bethell (Jan 8, 1979) The history of Chester County stated that Ann was born in the 50th year of his (John's) age by a young wife further stating that she lived until 1790 at the age of 85. This almost beyond doubt makes him the son of William Bethel\ who purchased land from the Crown of Enland (Francis Clay agent) in 1653.

Frances: Darby Meeting deaths: 6-13-1699 Frances Bethel wife of John.

William, John, Mary, Sarah and Joseph. Joseph Is not mentionned in his fathers (John's) will:, the other 6 children are.

Henry -

From will dated 18-Feb., 1846:


Executors; Braudus Bethel, Edward Bethel & Norris Bethel.

Wife Catherine received household goods, house during her natural life and one cow which she may select. Son Noris, the farm on which Henry resided on condition that he take special care of beloved wife Catherine and to furnish her with all the necessaries and comforts of life and to keep the house in comfortable repair and keep her cow summer and winter and if her cow should die or become useless he is to furnish her with another.

If son Norris fails to take care of wife, it is my wish that on her making complaint to the court of common pleas, that said court shall by decree order said farm to be sold and the proceeds be placed in proper hands for the support of my beloved wife during her natural life. Norris was also to pay $500 to Henry's Daughter Mialma (Melissa?) Bethel on the death of Henry's wife Catherine.

The Farm on which son Edward now resides to be equally divided by running a line North and South. Edward getting the east half and son Braudas the west half and each to pay fifty dollars for the education and support of my grandson Norris Stagg. When Norris Staggs reaches the age of 21 they are to pay him the further sum of $100 each.

The will also mentions grandchildren Elizabeth Patrick & Lucy Bankett (whose parents have not been identified). After specific requests were satisfied, the remainder of the estate was to be divided equally among his living children. The grandchildren mentioned received sums ranging from $150. to $1 each. The 3 children of Barnet (George, Theophilus & Barnet) received $1 each. They were 16 to 23 years old at the time and their father had died 5 months before the youngest was born. Apparently Henry had little concern for these 3 and their mother or he may have previously provided for them.
