Futhey and Copes, HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. This is a bible
for Chester County researchers.

In the Case Book: pg. 88
Thomas Hall JR was a member and vestryman of St. John's Church, and farmed
the homestead until May 1776 when he lost the land. In February 1776 Robert
Mendenhall brought suit against Thomas in order to recover a debt of 300
lb. the court ruled that the land could not produce sufficient revenue in 7
years to repay the debt, so the property was seized and subjected to a
sheriff's sale.

F & C pg 719 re the Scarlets:
Scarlet, Humphrey, married Ann Weaver, widow of Anthony, and daughter of
Joseph and Jane Richards, and resided in chichester, where he died about
1746. His children were John, m Elinor Martin, 1715; Shadrach, m. Phebe
Bowater, 1717; susanna, m. Daniel Brown, 9-22-1727; Nathaniel b. about
