1743, leaving a wife, Alice, and children,-John, Thomas, Arthur, Poynton, 
Isabella, Ann, Jane, Elinor, Mary, and Lettice,-some of whom were then married.  
Henry Charlton, of the same township, died in 1745, leaving a wife, Isabella, 
and children,-Thomas, John, Edward, henry, Lettice,-and son-in-law, John 
Charlton.
  The property is now in possession of Thomas M. Charlton, near Penn Station, is 
held by deed from Christiana Gulilma Penn, dated 1758.
