XLI

Thomas Roberts Family1. THOMAS AND ALICE ROBERTS, the founders of the Roberts

family of Milford Township in the Manor of Richland, are

7 j supposed to have come from Wales. All that we know in refer-ence to their arrival in this country is a well-founded traditional

account given by Letitia and Ann Foulke, granddaughters of Thomasand Alice Roberts, to Joshua Foulke, who repeated it to the compilerof this work, Clarence V. Roberts, about 1882. In substance it is asfollows:

"Thomas Roberts and Alice his wife arrived in Philadelphia aboutthe year 1715-20. They purchased a horse and cart and a few of theabsolute necessities of life and proceeded to their new home beyond thelines of lands then taken up by other settlers. They travelled aboutthirty-five miles north of Philadelphia into what is now Milford Town-ship, Bucks County, locating in a beautiful valley covered with luxuri-ant grass which they thought particularly adapted grazing. Thislittle valley was watered by a small stream which they named ButterCreek, a name which it bears to this date. Here they camped for a timebeside a large rock, and proceeded to build themselves a log house, inwhich they resided until about 1740 or 1742. About the latter datethey erected a stone house which was still standing in 1882, but hassince entirely disappeared."

This was the first home of the Roberts family and with a large tractsurrounding, it remained in the tenure of the family for several genera-tions. The site is about one mile from Trumbauersville on the road fromBunker Hill (now Rich Hill) to Sumneytown, and is near the southeastcorner of Milford Township. The patent for 250 acres of land in Mil-ford Township to Thomas Roberts, dated Sept. 10, 1734, is enrolled inPatent Book A, Volume 7, page 164, now in the Capitol at Harrisburg.A draft of the Manor of Richland made in 1734 shows that ThomasRoberts owned a tract of 250 acres adjoining John Edwards and others.*In addition to this 250 acres Thomas Roberts received by patent dated

* In minute book "11" Pennsylvania Archives. 241 series. Vol. XIX. page 601. is noted a Session of theBoard of Property of 1 mo. 5. 1715-16 as follows: "Thomas Roberts. Michael Atkinson. Robert Gerald andJohn Moor, desire that 200 acres of land in the Great Swamp might be granted to each of them for whichthey agree to pay for every 100 acres upon survey £1.1. 6s. 8d. or interest untill they do pay. Granted andwarrent signed." This agrees with the draft of the four tracts of land on the eastern line of Richland Manorin Milford Township except that John Edwards' name appears in place of John Moor.

THOMAS ROBERTS Ji1L Y 469,

January 20, 1738, 115 acres of land then supposed to be in Milford butfound later to be in Rockhill Township. This tract was conveyed byThomas to his son Richard by whom it was devised to the latter's son,Jesse Roberts, and remained in the family for over a century.

Thomas Roberts died in Milford Township 6 mo. 5, 1767, at a veryadvanced age. The inventory of his estate made by Samuel Foulke andJoseph Rawlings June 18, 1767, shows that he was possessed of what wasat that time a considerable estate. His wife Alice died prior to April 5,1750, on which date he conveyed by separate deeds to his sons Thomasand John the 250 acres in equal portions of 125 acres each.

It is probable that some of the following children were born in Wales,the others in Pennsylvania.

On 4 mo. 15,1784, she applied for a certificate to Providence Monthly Meeting inChester County, which was granted and signed at the following MonthlyMeeting on 5 mo. 20, 1784. The only other record we have of her iscontained in original letters found among the papers of Amos Roberts,son of David, and grandson of Edward and Mary Roberts. This AmosRoberts living on his farm near Branchtown, Philadelphia, wrote thefollowing letter to Josiah Worrell, as shown by a draft of it among hispapers:

• The names of these children are not in chronological order, and there is a possibility that one ormore of them ware by his second wife.

THOMAS ROBERT'S FAMIL Y 473

Cousin Josiah 1Vorrell: "5th—Month 25th, 1810.I have succeeded in getting good places for thy two daughters, Jane and

Abigail. I have allow(' Jane to Robert Morris, Esq., and Abigail to his son-in-law,Jonathan Roberts—two very good places. Thee must know Robert Morris,Uncle Abel Robert's nephew, living near Frankton'. They are very much pleasedwith the good account I have given them of the girls and are very desirous oftheir coming and will do right by them. Thee will please send them next Fourth-day or Seventh-day at farthest.

I believe it will be best to send them on Seventh-day, as I will make it mybusiness to come to town and take charge of them and convey them to RobertMorris's. Very respectfully,

Thy kinsman,Amos Roberts."

Endorsed on the same sheet as the letter is the statement,—" The following are the ages (of) Jane and Abigail Worrell as I took (them)

from the account kept by their father Isaiah (Josiah?) 1N'orrell or their mother whowas my first cousin, Martha Roberts was her maiden name, who deceased thefirst month last.

Jane Worrell was born first month 31st, 1792.Abigail Worrell was born twelfth month 24, 1793.The above girls were placed by their father under my care.I placed Jane at Robert Morris Esq.'s 6th mo. 6th not to receive wages

until 7th of 6th mo., 1810. Abigail I placed at Jonathan Roberts' the sametime."

As Josiah and Martha had been married eleven years (she wasdealt with for "going out in marriage" 6 mo. 21, 1781), at date of birth ofJane, they probably had other children.

36. JUDAH ROBERTS 3 (Thomas,' Abraham 2), son of Abraham,was born in Milford Township, and was possibly a son of his father'ssecond marriage. He was a millwright and followed that vocation formany years in Upper Bucks County, residing in Milford Township wherehe owned a farm until about 1825, when he removed to Buckingham andbought a farm east of Mechanicsville. He died unmarried and wasburied at Richland Meeting House 6 mo. 27, 1847.

He was a legatee under the will of hisfather in 1808, and appears to have participated in the distribution of theestate in 1815. He married Hannah Burgess, daughter of John Burgessof Buckingham, 9 mo. 11, 1800, at Plumstead Meeting House.

39. MIRIAM ROBERTS3 (Thomas,' Abraham 2), daughter ofAbraham and Catharine (Lester) Roberts, born in Milford Township,Bucks County, about 1766,•was dealt with by Richland Monthly Meet-ing on 12 mo. 15, 1786, as "Miriam Cegal " for marriage "to a man notof our Society" and was disowned two months later. Her husband wasdoubtless a son of Benjamin Siegel, who in 1760 purchased a farm of105 acres in Richland adjoining the Morris Morris tract to which headded 25 1 4 acres by patent from Thomas and Richard Penn in 1793.


In the latter year he and his wife "Charlatta" conveyed both tracts toJacob Smith and removed from the county, supposedly to Upper Hunter-don or 'Warren County, New Jersey. It is supposed that the husband ofMiriam Roberts was Jacob Siegel who died in New Jersey 2 mo. 8, 1840,and whose death is recorded by Abigail (Roberts) Heacock of Quaker-town; she also reports the death of Rachel Siegel of New Jersey 2 mo.5, 1875.

Catharine survived her father and was given a legacy under hiswill, and guardians were appointed for her two children by the Orphans'Court of Bucks County. She was disowned by Buckingham MonthlyMeeting for marriage to one not a Friend.
