He is shown in the quaker records ************** 20 APR 1716 – John Adamson and Ann Skuse Announced Intention of Marriage The earliest extant documentation from the New World that references John comes from the Newton Monthly Meeting Minutes dated the 9th day [20] of the 2nd month [April], 1716. At a monthly meeting held at Thomas Shackle’s house, John and wife-to-be, Ann Skuse, presented their intentions of marriage with each other. Thomas Stokes and Thomas Troth were appointed by the meeting to make enquiries regarding the couple’s good standing (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Minutes: 1710-1731, p. 35). When appointed to make enquiries regarding a couple, appointees were expected to report their findings at the subsequent monthly meeting. To ensure couples were serious about a marriage commitment, Quaker overseers would request couples make their intentions of marriage known to the monthly meeting twice. At the second meeting, if a couple still expressed a desire for marriage, it was considered an affirmed public statement of their devotion toward each other. Also, Quaker couples could not marry without the consent of the meeting elders. When the initial marriage announcement was made, elders were assigned to make enquiries regarding what Quakers called, “clearance from others” to first, ensure that the couple was in good standing within the community, and second, that no one within the community had good reason to speak out against the marriage. ** He is shown in the quaker records ******************* A record of John and Ann’s confirmed intention of marriage was also recorded in the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Women’s Minutes. Recorded the same day, the 14th day [25] of the 3rd month [May], 1716, John Adamson and Ann Skuse signified their continued intentions of marriage. When enquiries were made concerning their clearance, nothing stood against them, so the meeting consented to their marriage. Mary Haines and Elizabeth Braddock were appointed by the meeting to attend their wedding. Unlike the Men’s Minutes, the Women’s Minutes spelled Ann’s surname Skuce instead of Skuse (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Women’s Minutes: 1705-1769, p. 22). Haddonfield Monthly Meeting The court case, dated 18/29 Sept 1716, is included in the third volume of the Transcriptions of the Second Court Record Book of Gloucester County, New Jersey (Gloucester County Historical Project, 1939, p. 504). The trial involved Samuel Harrison, who was accused of drowning Susannah Smith, and then placing her body on the property of Sarah Mickle. The end of the document states that the court was adjourned until 3:00PM (Gloucester County Historical Project, 1939, p. 504). Unfortunately, since there is no further documentation of the case, it is not known how it ended. The following justices of the peace were present on the bench: John Kay, John Hugg, John Mickle, Constantine Wood, Samuel Ward, and Amos Ashead (Coroner). William Harrison (Sheriff) and Thomas Sharp (Clerk) were the officers present. Constables representing the various Gloucester County townships were present: Joseph Knight (Waterford Township), Joseph Hinchman (Newton Township), Ralph Sutton (Gloucester Township), Joseph Liddon (Greenwich Township, lower part). Jeremiah Addams (Egg Harbor Township) and Peter Lock (Greenwich Township, upper part) did not appear, Michael Laikon (Deptford Township) was sick. Members of the grand jury included: John Ladd (Foreman), Thomas Stokes, Samuel Dennis, John Matlack, John Shivers, John Gill, John Adamson, Alexander Morgan, Abraham Porter, John Inskeep, Peter Long, John Jones, John Cox, Peter Cox, Stephen Jones, Eric Wullaker, and Thomas Denny. At a monthly meeting held at Newton, the 13th day [24] of the 3rd month [May], 1717, Thomas Stokes was appointed to buy a cow to lend to John Adamson on behalf of the meeting (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Minutes: 1710-1731, p. 42). The following justices of the peace were present on the bench: John Kay, John Hugg, John Mickle, and Amos Ashead (Coroner). The officers present were Josiah Kay (Sheriff) and Thomas Sharp (Clerk). The following constables representing the various Gloucester County townships were present: Samuel Holmes (Waterford Township), Arthur Powell (Newton Township), Will Clark, Jr. and Francis Jones (Gloucester Township), Job Whitall (Deptford Township), Henda Hendrickson (Greenwich Township, upper part), Andrew Matson (Greenwich Township, lower part), and Thomas Green (Egg Harbor). Members of the grand jury included: John Gill (Foreman), Joseph Tindall, Joseph Knight, William Dennis, William Cooper, Robert Bryan, Isaac Homer, Thomas Stowe, William Ellis, William Warner, James Ward, John Cook, Samuel Sharp, John Adamson, and Thomas Bright. Like John Adamson, John Gill served on the jury for this case as well as the 1716 murder trial. It is worth noting that some of the grand jurors present at this court proceedings had the very same surnames as those who served on the murder trial; all relatives of the previous jurors. The townships were still relatively small at that time, hence a smaller population to choose from for the jury duty selection process. In Old Gloucester County, it is not uncommon to see many of the same men serve on juries repeatedly. In addition to the account recorded in the Monthly Meeting Minutes, an entry documenting the amount of money contributed to John Adamson by John Kay was written in an accounting register within the records book used to keep track of contributions made by the meeting (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Minutes: 1710-1731, p. 23). Notice that the location of the monthly meeting is now Haddonfield. During the 12th month [February], 1721/22, the Newton Monthly Meeting removed to the Haddonfield meetinghouse and its name was changed from the Newton Monthly Meeting to the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting. The Haddonfield meetinghouse accommodated both monthly and quarterly meetings. Previously, monthly meetings had been held alternately at Newton and at the house of Thomas Shackle. The following justices of the peace were present on the bench: John Kay, Samuel Ward, and Thomas Spicer. Josiah Kay (Sheriff), Amos Ashead (Coroner), and Thomas Sharp (Clerk) were the officers present. Constables representing the various Gloucester County townships were present: Samuel Dennis (Waterford Township), William Davis (Newton Township), Richard Valentine and Nathan Tylee (Gloucester Township), George Ward (Deptford Township), Thomas Holden (Greenwich Township, upper part), Andrew String (Greenwich Township, lower part), and Samuel Hareur (Egg Harbor Township). Members of the grand jury included: Alexander Morgan, William Hampton, James Hinchman, Simon Breach, John Adamson, Jacob Matson, Richard Gray, Jacob Medcalf, Henry Sparks, William Ellis, Benjamin Thackara, Thomas Stokes, Hence Steelman, Samuel Burroughs, Daniel Hillman, John Eastlack, Nathan Champion, Jeremiah Bates, and Isaac Jennings. Alexander Morgan was the son of Griffith Morgan, an emigrant from Wales. The men present at the court proceedings provide a diverse representation of some of the most notable families of the Gloucester community. Some were the first settlers of Gloucester County while others mentioned were their sons or sons-in-law. Thomas Sharp, Robert Zane, William Cooper, and John Gill were original founders of the Newton Township. John Mickle was the son of colonist, Archibald Mickle, who arrived at Newton from Antrim County, Ireland in 1681 (Clement, 1877, p. 141). Benjamin Thackara was the son of Newton colonist, Thomas Thackara, a Leeds, Yorkshire, England Quaker who relocated to Dublin, Ireland for a while before settling in Newton in 1681. The first Friends’ meetinghouse built at Newton stood upon lands conveyed by Thomas Thackara (p. 64). Both John Whitall and John Eastlack were brothers-in-law to Benjamin Thackara. William Ellis was the son of Simeon Ellis, a Yorkshire, England Quaker who relocated from the Burlington settlement to Newton (p. 181). Samuel Cole emigrated from Cole’s Hill, Hertfordshire, England (p. 201). John Matlack was the descendent of William Matlack who arrived in Burlington from Nottinghamshire, England (p. 232). John Hugg arrived in Newton in 1683 from Wexford, Ireland (p. 284). Thomas Stokes was from Middlesex County, London, England (p. 301). John Kay, son of Jarvis Kay, arrived in Newton from Yorkshire, England in 1684 (p. 168). The records for the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting were taken from Clarence Roberts’ 1925 book, Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks with Some Account of Their Descendents. As stated in his book, Roberts did not perform date conversions for his recorded dates, so I have taken the liberty to convert the dates to properly coincide with the Gregorian calendar. I have yet to locate the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting records that he referenced, so the accuracy of his dates has not yet been confirmed. At the time, Ann was near due to give birth to their second son, John, and relocation to Pennsylvania would have been difficult for her, so the family remained in Newton until she was fit for travel. When June arrived, John, Ann, and the four children crossed the Delaware River into the area known as the Great Swamp or upper rich lands of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. During the move, newborn John was but a few weeks old. Thomas would have been age eight, Betty, six, and Hester, four. The family settled onto 150 acres of farmland along the northern line of Richland Manor in what would become Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The land was patented to John by William Penn’s sons, John, Thomas, and Richard Penn. The sons of William Penn inherited from their father land in the counties of Bucks, Chester, Philadelphia, and Lancaster. The Penns encouraged rapid settlement of the colonies and made room for the influx of European emigrants by adding to their territory through continuous land purchases. To accommodate as many settlers as possible, the Penns updated the surveying procedures instituted by their father. Two categories of land were established to reflect land settlement up to that point: improved and unimproved land. During William Penn’s proprietorship, much of the land settlement was never recorded formally so squatting (occupying land the squatter does not own) was common practice. Land that had been settled under this policy was considered improved land. All other lands vacant were considered unimproved lands. In order to regulate the settling of their lands and to retrieve payment from squatters who settled before 1754, the Penns further updated the application system, which consisted of a series of documents including application, warrant, survey, and patent. These records documented the name of the person applying for the land, the number of acres desired, county and townships in which the land was located, and an actual drawing of the boundary lines (Documentary Families Project, 2011). In 1735, the sons of William Penn sold around 4,000 acres of their best land in southeastern Pennsylvania by lottery. The area was over 3 miles long and 2 miles wide. 7,750 lottery tickets were issued at 40 shillings each (1 shilling was equal to 12 pennies). 1,293 lottery tickets were marked as award prizes of 25 to 3,000 acres. Holders of the tickets were allowed to locate the land indicated as the prize on the lottery ticket. Eventually, holders of lottery tickets were allowed to secure the deed to the land. These acres became known as the Lottery Lands of Springfield Township (Springfield Township, 2004). On 5 December, 1739, the deputy surveyor returned results of the survey to the Land Office. John Adamson received the land patent which entitled him to full ownership of his land.
Since a Springfield meeting for worship had not yet been established, John and his family attended Friends’ meetings at Quakertown, in the heart of Richlandtown. It was not until the second month [April], 1743, that Friends in Springfield were granted permission to hold meetings. The meetings at Springfield were held at the houses of Joseph Unthank and John Dennis until 1755, when Joseph Unthank removed to North Carolina. The meeting previously held at his house was ordered to be held at Thomas Adamson's. From 1755 to 1757, Friends’ meetings were hosted alternately between the homes of Thomas Adamson and John Dennis, and after that, at Adamson’s alone (Roberts, 1925, p. 16).
Richland Township was established in 1734. Quakertown borough occupies its center, at the juncture of roads leading to Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley, and Newtown, and is about 50 miles north of Philadelphia. The name, “Quakertown” did not officially come about until 1801, and the first post office bearing its name opened in 1803. During America’s fight for independence, the Liberty Bell was concealed behind Richland’s Liberty Hall, on its way to be hidden in Allentown. John Adamson was one of thirty-five early residents near Richland to sign a petition for the formation of the Swamp Road (later, Doylestown Road) in 1730. In 1712, Peter Lester of Leicestershire, England, with his wife and children, John Ball, a son-in-law of Lester’s, and other families were the first Friends to settle in the Great Swamp area. They became members of the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, but since the meeting in Philadelphia County was so far away, the monthly meeting authorized Peter to hold a meeting for worship at his house. Meetings were held at Peter’s house until 1723, when a small, log meetinghouse was erected at the intersection of the Road to Philadelphia and present-day Station Road; about a mile south from the site of the present meetinghouse. The first meetinghouse was built on a triangular lot of five acres of land donated by Everard Bolton. On the 27th day [8] of the 4th month [July], 1725, the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting authorized the creation of a preparative meeting. Friends found that the land surrounding the meetinghouse was too rocky for use as a burial ground, so by November, 1725 they began searching for a more suitable location. Furthermore, as more and more Friends settled in the area, it became necessary to relocate to a new, larger meetinghouse. In 1730, a new location was found and the new meetinghouse was built near the center of the Great Swamp settlement at Richland Centre (Quakertown). On the 1st day [12] of the ninth month [November], 1742, the Quarterly Meeting held at Philadelphia granted the creation of the Richland Monthly Meeting to be held the fifth day of every month. Richland, like the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, was under the guidance of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. The first meeting of the Richland Monthly Meeting was held the 20th day [31] of the 11th month [January], 1743. An addition to the meetinghouse was completed in 1749. Further additions to the meetinghouse were made in 1762 to accommodate the women’s meeting and a school. A wall was built around the burial ground of the meetinghouse in 1792. Yet another addition to the meetinghouse was made in 1795 and a date stone bearing this year is still preserved in the meetinghouse. The present stone meetinghouse was built in 1862 from the structure of the old meetinghouse and stands on the same site. It is located at 200 South Main Street, Quakertown, Pennsylvania, 18951, at the intersection of Mill Road and South Main Street. The Friends’ cemetery is located beside the meetinghouse.
In 1699, meetings for worship were originally held in the homes of John Hugh and John Humphrey. The first meetinghouse was built of logs in 1700 and was under the care of the Haverford Meeting. The second meetinghouse at Gwynedd was built in 1712 and made of stone. The Gwynedd Monthly Meeting was officially established in 1714 out of the Haverford (later, Radnor) Monthly Meeting, and included both the Gwynedd and Plymouth Monthly Meetings. Friends who held meetings for worship in the Oley Valley, under the care of Gwynedd, established the Oley Monthly Meeting (later, Exeter Monthly Meeting). A meeting for worship was organized under Gwynedd Monthly Meeting for the Richland Friends in 1721. During this time, Richland Friends held meetings in their homes until 1725 when a small log meetinghouse was built. A preparative meeting referred to as, “The Swamp,” was established the 29th day [10] of the 4th month [July], 1725. In 1742, both the meeting for worship and preparative meetings separated from Gwynedd Monthly Meeting and were transferred to form the Richland Monthly Meeting. At this time, several Gwynedd families transferred to Richland, Providence, and Exeter Monthly Meetings.

The following excerpt from genealogist, Sharon Cook MacInnes’ website, Ancestor Tracks, a site dedicated to using maps to track ancestors, describes the process of land acquisition in eighteenth century Pennsylvania: “The process for obtaining land in Pennsylvania involved a three-part process: (1) the prospective landowner had to file an application for land in fairly specific terms. When the Land Office received the application, they issued a warrant, or an order to have the desired tract surveyed. The applicant had to pay a fee for this warrant and became known as the warrantee. The loose warrant was copied into a ledger called a Warrant Register. (2) The next step was to pay a fee for the survey and wait until a deputy surveyor could be assigned to do the work. The results of the survey were returned to the Land Office with a precise description and map of the tract, nearly always including the names of the neighbors who owned the adjacent tracts. These loose surveys are on file at the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg and have been copied into Survey Books. (3) The last step was to pay yet another fee to the colony or state and receive the final title which was called a patent. This is the official deed transferring ownership from the colony or state to the individual. He or she now became the patentee. Again, the patents were copied into ledgers called Patent Registers. Sometimes, many years passed between the three steps (MacInnes, 2011).” Thomas and his family lived at his father’s homestead until 12 April, 1775, when he sold the 150-acre estate to Austrian born emigrant, Hans Peter Gruber (Gruver), Sr. (Bucks County Deed Book Vol. 18, p. 126). Gruber was a grist and saw mill builder who arrived in Bucks County around 1743. On 14 [25] January, 1743/44, a land warrant to accept a survey (a warrant that accepts an already existing survey on a tract land) was issued to Gruber for a 150-acre tract of land in Bucks County. Gruber applied for a warrant on an additional 50-acre tract of land, but ended up forfeiting it. In 1784, Thomas and his son, John took a certificate of removal from the Richland Monthly Meeting to the Westland Monthly Meeting and settled on a 250-acre property adjoining Fort Swan in Washington County (now Greene County), Pennsylvania. The land warrant for Thomas’ Washington County property was issued on 15 December, 1784 and was returned by the surveyor on 6 November, 1789. The patentees for the property were Thomas’ sons, John and Joseph Adamson.
