Note
Note: He possibly came from Northumberland County, Virginia. John moved from New Jersey about 1687 and settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania prior to 1693. Shown as from Birmingham, Chester County, Penn.; where he was said to have occupied mill property of Darby,Chester, Penn. about 1693 and soon afterwards became the owner of the property. This land became part of Delaware County. The family was Quaker. John represented Chester County in the Provincial Assembly. Pennsylvania, Philadelphia County, Register of Wills, Will number 50, 1707.
John Bethell served in his time as a member of the Pennsylvania Colinial Legislature, a governing body of Quaker colony which had been set up 11 years previously by William Penn. John's will, dated 26 February 1707, mentions his wife, 6 children, the husbands of Mary and Sarah, and his brother-in-law, Richard Prker but it doesn't mention a son Joseph.
In May 1686 John bought 283 acres from Thomas Mat thews (both of Woodbury Creek, Gloucester Co., New Jersey) the land was on the south side of said Creek. Settled at Barby, Chester co. (now Delaware Co.) in 1693. From Smith's History of DelawareCounty:
"Bethel, John with his wife Frances and family, came to occupy the mill property of Darby about the year 1693, and he soon afterwards became the owner of it. He doubtless had resided in the country some time previously.
In 1699 his wife died, and in 1703 he married Jane Parker, by whom he had one child Samuel. (note: also Ann)
His children by his lst wife were John, Joseph, William, Sarah and Mary. John the younger intermarried with Rose Smith; Mary with Job Harvery; and Sarah with Obadiah Bonsall. The other children probably died unmarried (????). They were all in membership with Friends, and in the latter part of his life the elder John was active and influential in meeting affairs."
From John P. Bethell (Jan 8, 1979) The history of Chester County stated that Ann was born in the 50th year of his (John's) age by a young wife further stating that she lived until 1790 at the age of 85. This almost beyond doubt makes him the son of William Bethel\ who purchased land from the Crown of Enland (Francis Clay agent) in 1653.
Frances: Darby Meeting deaths: 6-13-1699 Frances Bethel wife of John.
Children by Frances:,
William, John, Mary, Sarah and Joseph. Joseph Is not mentionned in his fathers (John's) will:, the other 6 children are.
He is listed by S.F. Bethel in his 1962 publication.
Darby Meeting deaths lists: 9-21-1701 Cat~ine Bet~l, widow of Joseph Bethel. If this is the son of J~hn it would account for his not being in 27 May 2004
John's will. Apparently they had no offspring. Ann died 1795.
Darby Meeting Marriages: 2-11-1728 Benjamin Davis of Darby to Ann Bethell. From Ashmead's "History of Delaware County;"... the population must hhave been sparse for more than a quarter of a century . for Mrs. Ann Davis who was born at Darby (she was the daughter of Joh Bethel the miller) informed Dr. William Martin in 1790 that she was born in the place where Darby now is, and remembered playing with the Indian children in the neiahboring wigwams. It also stated that she lives with her 3 daughters. all single.
