Notes
One of the first Mendenhalls to cross the Atlantic. Came with William
Penn on
'The Welcome' in 1682 from the town of Deal, Sussex, England. The
Commander
of the 300 ton ship was Robert Greenaway. See further info in 'Mendenhall
Ancestry' by Aaron B Mendenhall in file, copy courtesy of Earl Peirce.
According to Gale Honeyman *P* he was an original shareholder in the
Concord
Mill in PA. In 1697 he and his wife gave to the Society
of Friends the site of the Concord Meeting House and the burial grounds.

re:
early landowners. John Mendenhall acquired 300 acres in Concord, shortly
after
arriving from England in 1683. The last parcel was sold in 1713. See
further
info in the Mendenhall folder. Some evidence indicates he may have been
part
owner, with William Brinton Jr, of the "Concord Mill". This mill was
assessed
10 pounds in 1694. Was one of 5 mills in Chester County. He was the first
recorded individual to purchase land in Concord. He received a deed
from William Penn on 6 Feb 1683 for 300 acres.
----------
Notes
John bought 300 acres from William Penn on 14 Sep 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 that John made the voyage to PA.
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, PA.
The Chester County court was held at the town of Chester on 17 Apr 1683.
The
court records indicate that John Mynall was a juror, and at the same
court John
Mendinhall was appointed constable for Concord, Liberty township.
A note written 6 Jul 1683 to J. Harding has been preserved saying:
If thou knowest any such man as John Minall, tell him he may expect a
small
truss of cloth by ye shipp Francis & Mary, also a truss of goods by ye
same
shipp for Jno. Kingman, both under ye charge Jno. Burns for delivery and
of him
they must enquire for it when the said shipp comes. (Signed) John
Hitchcock.
John Hitchcock of Bristol, England had close contact with the Mendenhall
family. In Concord Township, John was a close associate of John Harding.
A
record of a somewhat later court session of the Chester County court
indicates
that John Mendenhall and John Harding were accused of selling whiskey to
the
Indians. It is possible that these young men might have done this as a
means of
ensuring that the Indians would not steal their hogs.
John sold 100 acres of his tract to his brother-in-law, Thomas Martin on
27
Nov 1686. John placed the remainder of this tract in a trust for his
three
young sons on 8 Mar 1692. John continued to enjoy the use of the property
until
the sons reached their majority and did not prevent him from donating
land for
the new Concord Meeting House, stables and graveyard on 13 Dec 1697.
John bought 250 acres in Concord Township from John Harding (who bought
the
land from William Penn in England in September, 1681) which was surveyed
to
Harding on 13 Feb 1683. John's patent is dated 26 Jun 1684. John assigned
these
250 acres to his brother, Benjamin, in Jun 1686.
John was an original shareholder in the Concord Mill, one of five mills
in
Chester County.
The deed by which John tranferred land to the Concord Monthly Meeting of
the
Quakers follows:

Concord in the County of Chester, yeoman, for the consideration of five
