Notes
General:
SWAYNE:
The following, slightly reformatted to improve readability, is from Byberry Waltons (Norman Walton Swayne, 1958), pgs 14-15:
7 JOSEPH WALTON (3), died 10th mo 4th 1759, son of 2 Nathaniel Walton & Martha Bownall of Byberry Twp, Philadelphia Co., Pa., married Sarah, probably Roberts, alive 1776. His death is from Isaac Comly's obituary notes, Joseph Sr son of Nathaniel, and the History of Byberry and Moreland, which, however, says he was son of 8 Nathaniel, brother of 7 Joseph, and that he taught 60 years. One of these sources must have the wrong Joseph. Son Joseph of 7 Joseph is called schoolmaster in the 1764 deed below, and may have been the one who taught 60 years. Probably 7 Joseph was the one called son in law in the will of John Roberts of Abington, drawn Feb. 17, 1747, proved in Philadelphia March 12, 1747, who named wife Mary, daughters Alice, Ann, Patience and Rachel.
April 10, 1727 Joseph received from his father 250 acres in Bucks Co. next Benjamin Walton. Apparently this was in Warwick Twp, for December 12, 1734, when brothers Nathaniel and Malachi deeded Joseph 150 acres, he was of that township.
October 10, 1760 letters were granted to Joseph's sons Joseph and Boaz, both of Bibury. November 8, 1764 these with the three other surviving children below deeded the 150 acres, now resurveyed as 161 acres, to son Joseph, who five days later, November 13, 1764, with wife Barbara, deeded 70 acres of it to Boaz, and April 6, 1776 Boaz & wife Mary deeded these 70 acres to Joseph Hallowell, at which time Sarah, mother of Boaz and relict of Joseph, was alive. These deeds were recorded March 15, 1841. From the above sources and from Trinity Oxford Church come data for these six children which allow a guess at their order:
46 Joseph b prob. around 1730 prob. alive 1790 m by 1764 Barbara, alive 1784
47 Sarah, alive 1774, m 1757 William Francis d 1774
48 Elizabeth, alive 1774, m 1st 1758 Samuel Dungan b ab 1734 d by 1774, m 2nd 1774 Elias Brown
49 Boaz b ab 1737 d l823 m 1st 1762 Rebecca Leech, m 2nd ab 1766 Hannah Ashton b 1745, m 3rd 1773 Mary Ashton b 1752 d 1833
50 Martha b ab 1740 d by 1764 probably not married
51 Samuel b probably ab 1742 d 1805 m 1st 1764 Elizabeth Willis d 1780, m 2nd 1781 Sarah Steiner d 1830

"10 mo 4 1759 Joseph Wal___ sen'r" is on page 30 and "9 mo 7 1760 Joseph Walton sen'r" is on page 31. The name in the 1759 entry appears to be 'Walter' or 'Walther', but it could be 'Walton'. The name in the 1760 entry is clearly 'Walton'. There is no Joseph Walton in Swayne who died in 1760. A search for 'Joseph Walter' in 'U. S. Quaker Meeting Records' yields a Joseph Walter in the Kennett Monthly Meeting in Chester Co. in 1750, 1753, and 1757. I believe that a better death date for Joseph Walton is 7 Sep 1760.
Today New Garden Township is in the southeastern corner of Chester Co. on the Pennsylvania-Delaware state line. Kennett Township adjoins it.
