Esther Mendenhall

• Source 2: "The earliest records of the Mendenhall/Mildenhall family are found in all source material of genealogy in England. These records place the family in Wiltshire, under royal favor, until after the Battle of Tewesbury. From this time the family fortunes waned until there was just a remnant left at Mildenhall, near Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. John, Benjamin, Moses and sister Mary came to America from England about 1689."
• Source 3: "In 1682, John, Benjamin, Moses and Mary came to America with one of the groups that arrived shortly after William Penn established the colony of Pennsylvania. He was a Friend. He settled in Springfield, Chester Co., Pennsylvania."; page 23, "John Mendenhall was a brother of Benjamin and Moses, and doubtless came from the same place in England. He was one of the earliest settlers in Concord, and in 1685 was married to Elizabeth, the daughter of George Maris, of Springfield township. He was a Friend, and was active and influencial in the Society. In 1697 he granted the ground occupied by concord Friends' meeting house and grave-yard. In 1708, his wife being deceased, he contracted a second marriage with Hester Dix. He was one of the original shareholders of the first Concord mill. His children, by his first marriage were George, John, and Aaron -- it is not known that he had any by his second wife Hester Dix."; Page 26, "He was the surveyor to William Penn, and in the picture of the Elm Tree Treaty' he is made by his grandson, sir Benjamin West, the painter, to occupy a conspicuous place, standing by Penn's side, a tall man with a map in his hand."

• Source 7: "John Mendenhall, emigrant, came from Mildenhall, England and settled at Concord, Penn. He moved to Chester and later to Newark in Delaware County. His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of George Maris. Their children were George, Aaron, John. He was a Friend and was influential in the Society. In 1697 he granted the grounds occupied by the Concord Friend's Meeting House and graveyards. He was an original shareholder in the first Concord mills."
• Source 8: John bought 300 acres from William Penn on 14 Sept. 1681 while still in England, costing 6 lb. per 500 acres. On 6 Feb. 1683 Penn requested a survey for this land, which was laid out in Concord Township, John being the first recorded purchaser of land in Concord. His patent is dated 27 Jun 1684. It was probably in the autumn of 1682 when John made the voyage to Pennsylvania from England. There seems to be no record of the ship on which he made passage. It is likely that it sailed from the port of Bristol. It is probable that he was accompanied by his sister, Mary, and his younger brother, Benjamin. he came to Concord township in what was then Chester County, Pennsylvania.

The land for a Friends meeting at Concord and a graveyard was conveyed or rather leased to trustees, by John Mendenhall, in 1697, they paying "one pepper corn yearly for ever". A meeting house was erected that year of the next. When John was 25 he married Elizabeth Maris. When he was 49 he married Ester Maddock.
