The Elfreth Necrology

THE ELFRETH NECROLOGY. In the Penna. Archives, 3d Series, ii, 699, it is shown that Josiah Elfreth obtained a warrant, 3d of 11th month 1683, for six acres of land in Philadelphia County, and on the 2d of 8th month 1684, another warrant for a city lot. By a letter of attorney, dated 6th of 2d month 1687, he authorized David Lloyd, Esq. , to execute a deed to Christopher Sibthorpe for a lot at the Center, in Philadelphia City. Other facts lead to the theory that he was at this time a widower and about returning to England, where he married again, to a widow, and died not long after, leaving at least one son by each wife. By deed of 7 mo. 4th 1686, John Wheeler, of New London in New England, conveyed to Jeremiah Elfreth a tract of land lying before Henry Flower’s house in Philadelphia. Jeremiah also obtained a warrant for a lot or lots at the mouth of Dock Creek, 25th of 2d month 1691, and made some preparation to build thereon; but in this he was opposed by the mayor and prominent citizens, as stated by Watson (Annals, 283), on the plea that this place was intended for a public landing. The will of Jeremiah Elfreth was dated on the 2d of 4th month, June, 1693, and was probated April 1st, 1694, by which he gave to his kinsman, Jeremiah Elfreth, son of his brother Josiah, deceased, the sum of twenty shillings, and to Henry Elfreth, son of the said Josiah, the residue of his estate. He ap¬ pointed his friends Patrick Robinson and Henry Flower as “overseers,” but did not name any executors. Henry Elfreth was married in Philadelphia, in 1702, to Sarah, daughter of John Gilbert, who devised to her children a messuage and lot on the east side of Second Street; and in a deed of later date mention is made of “ Gilbert’s (commonly called Elfreth’s) Alley, between Delaware Front and Second Street.” Henry Elfreth died in 1719, and his children, so far as known, were Caleb, Elizabeth, John and Sarah, of whom the last married Isaac Zane, 12 mo. 15, 1733-4. At what time Josiah Elfreth’s widow arrived in this country is unknown to the writer, but under the name of Esther Wilson, of the City of Philadelphia, she made her will April 17, 1710, which was probated on the 25th of the same month. She appoints her friends J ohn Sotcher of Bucks County and Henry Mallows of Philadelphia her executors; mentions her sons John Bowyer and William Bowyer giving to the last five shillings “ if he comes over here,” her daughters, Esther, wife of John Clay of Bucks County, and Sarah, wife of Willoughby Warder; and gives to her sons Joseph Linn and Jeremiah Elfreth <£37:10s at the age of 21 years or marriage: To Henry Elfreth of Philadelphia, shipwright, what he owes me, and to his children £3:15. From all of this it would seem that she must have had four husbands. (172) — — The Eifreth Necrology * 173 Jeremiah Eifreth, of the City of Philadelphia, Smith, and Sarah Oldman, daughter of Thomas Oldman, late of the said city, carpenter, deceased, were married on the 12th of 4th month, 1716, at Friends’ Meeting, Philadelphia. Thomas Chalkley, in his Journal (2d Ed., 220), mentions that in the “latter end of the ninth month, 1728, Sarah, the wife of Jeremiah Eifreth, died very suddenly, having been the day before walking in her garden; she was a sober young woman and her death was much lamented,” &c. He was married again, 8th of 5th month, 1731, to Letitia Richardson, widow of Francis Richardson, and daughter of John Swift; a third time, 12th of 10th month, 1734, to Elizabeth Massey; a fourth time, 30th of 1st month, 1738, at Westbury, L. L, to Rachel Seaman, daughter of Nathaniel and Rachel Seaman, and a fifth time, 17th of 4th month, 1740, in Philadelphia, to Mary Wells, a widow. The certificates of all these marriages, with that of Francis and Letitia Richardson, and of Jeremiah Eifreth, Jr., and Hannah Trotter, 1752, are in possession of Jacob R. Eifreth, of Lansdowne, Pa. Jeremiah Eifreth died about the 20tli of 10th month, 1772, aged 80 years, and his widow 9 mo. 21, 1785, aged 78* He had at least three children who married, viz: Elizabeth, to Isaac Andrews of New Jersey, 9 mo. 21, 1738; Esther, to Robert Dawson, 6 mo. 25, 1765, and Jeremiah Eifreth, Jr. In the Dawson Genealogy it is stated that Esther was the only child of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Eifreth. Her son Josiah Dawson, bom 1772, died 1858, left an estate of near $300,000, mostly to charitable and benevolent institutions. Jeremiah Eifreth, Jr. , of the City of Philadelphia, Goldsmith and Hannah Trotter, daughter of Joseph Trotter, of the same place, were married 27th of 8th month, 1752, at Friends’ Meeting in that city. He died 2 mo. 10, 1765, aged 42, leaving two children, Jeremiah and Josiah. His widow died in 1791, aged 62 years. Jeremiah Eifreth 3d, was born in Philadelphia, 9th mo. 2, 1754; married in New Jersey, 1775, Mary, daughter of Jacob and Hannah Roberts, and widow of William Taylor. They settled at Haddonfield. N. J. , where he died 3d mo. 12, 1825. His son Jacob wrote thus of him: “My dear father was a plain unpolished man, but he had a kind heart, and lived more for the good of others than for himself. He brought up a large family of grandchildren who were left destitute by their father, providing for them and their mother.” His son Joseph was an officer in the War of 1812, in a New Jersey regiment, and left his sword to his brother Jacob, who being a plain Friend and conse¬ quently a man of peace, broke it into three pieces. This Jacob R. Eifreth, compiler of the necrology herewith presented, was boro at Haddonfield, 3d mo. 8, 1789, and was sent to the Friends’ Boarding School at Westtown in 1799, the first year of its operation. In 1805 he was apprenticed to Caleb Peirce, hardware merchant, at what was then No. 20 N. Front Street, Philadelphia, afterward at the comer of Market Street and Grindstone Alley above Second Street. About a year after the expiration of his apprenticeship he returned to his father. He was bookkeeper at the Westtown Boarding School from 7th mo., 1815, till 10th month, 1816. For several years he was bookkeeper for John Sharp, who appears to have been 174 The Elfreth Necrology. associated with Edward Wilson, and while there married, in 1821, Abigail Peirce, the daughter of his former master. Edward Wilson was an English¬ man who made a considerable fortune in this country and afterward returned to his native land. He was the father of Dr. Thomas Wilson and Rathmel Wilson, one or both of whom contributed liberally to the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. Jacob R. Elfreth was subsequently with Jones, Oakford & Co., and with Richard Oakford, with whom he continued till about 1839. These firms were largely engaged in the East India and Canton trade as importers of teas, silks, <&c., owners or part owners of vessels whose cargoes were disposed of by auction. There he met with and settled and adjusted accounts of Nathan Dunn, Samuel Archer and others, who like them were great merchants. A collection of autographs was made by him, but like corals, shells and other presents from sea captains, they have been scattered. On 8th mo. 1st, 1840, he entered the employ of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, where as head book¬ keeper he remained until the winter of 1868, a little over one year before his death, which occurred 5 mo. 17, 1870. When he conceived the idea of keeping a record of deaths he appears to have collected many dates of persons previously deceased, to whom he was possibly related, and also entered many names for whom he hoped to get the dates later. The original of this record is now in pessesslon of his son James G. C. Elfreth, residing, at present, with his wife in West Chester, Pa. MEM. MORI. REMEMBER THE DEAD.
