Peter Lester was born in Leicestershire, ENG EST 1660. Peter died ABT 1742.

He married twice. He married Mary Duncalf aft Aug 6. 1685 in Chester County, PA, USA.(918) (Mary Duncalf is #1020.) Mary was born. Mary(919) was the daughter of Thomas Duncalf and Margaret Taylor. Mary died before 1740. She became engaged to Pet er Lester August 6, 1685. He married Sarah Scott 1740 in Abington MM, PA.

Peter immigrated to Chester County, or Philadelphia, PA 1682. He became engaged to Mary Duncalf August 6, 1685. "Peter Lester, the founder of the family of that name in Pennsylvania and a pioneer of the Richland Settlement, came to Pennsylvani a about 1682 with William Penn's group from Leichestershire, England. He was first given 1 square lot of land on Market St. by William Penn in Philadelphia. He sold this for 30 pounds.

He was a member of the Society of Friends and declared intentions of marriage at Chester Monthly Meeting with Mary Duncoff, 6 mo. 6, 1685. He was accompanied to this country by at a probable brother, as the will of George Lester, probated at Phi ladelphia Dec. 14, 1695, mentions him as a kinsman and makes him executor." A William Lester who dies in 1691 lists Peter as a cousin and George as a Kinsman.

He purchased 316 acres of land in 1699 in the Manor of Moreland, Philadelphia (now Montgomery County) where he lived until 1712. He sold his land and then moved his family to the Great Swamp on a 600 acre farm in Richland, purchasing that land o n June 24, 1712. He and his family were amongst the first to settle in Richland County, PA. His own property was called, "Friends in the Swamp," later being named Richland. Monthly Meetings where they participated included Abington and Gwynedd . Abington was a distance from where they lived in Richland, so when Gwynedd was finally formed in 1716, they received certificates of removal to join the new closer meeting at that time. Soon after this meeting was formed several other familie s moved to the area, including two son-in-laws that bought property next to his, Abraham Griffith and John Ball. His wife died by 1739. He married again in the Gwyned Monthly Meeting to Sarah Scott. He probably died about 1742, although no deat h records were preserved for that area at that time.
The name Lester is a phonetic spelling of Leicester where the family is from in England. Another possible relative/brother to this Peter is Thomas. He came to America in 1689. He returned three years later to Scotland, married, had 16 childe eeturned to Pennsylvania with several of these children. They lived in PA, NC, and possibly Virginia.

Peter married Mary Duncalf\Duncoff on 6 Jun 1685 in Chester County, PA. Mary (daughter of Thomas Duncalf and Margaret Taylor) was born about 1664 in Philadelphia County, PA; died in 1742 in Richland, Bucks County, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Bartholomew's parents were originally from Wilmslow Parish, in Cheshire, Eng. Some second hand sources state they moved to Flinshire, Wales for a few years due to the English Civil War where Bartholomew was born instead. When he is baptized in W ilmslow Parish records, his father was listed as Bartholomew of Fulshaw, an area just south of Wilmslow.

It should be noted that there was another Bartholomew born about 1645 who married Elinor/Ellen Smith or Williamson instead who could be the son of Bart and Elizabeth Curbishley of Wilmslow and Nether Leigh.

Bartholomew was married in Wilmslow, England at the home of Richard Yarwood in 1678. He seems to have moved back temporarily to Wales as his first son is born there. His third child was born back in Cheshire, England. He emigrated on the ship "T he Freeman of Liverpool" that left port on June 7, 1682. The following goods are listed by his name and I wonder if this was his payment for passage: 1 hhd. qty. 60 lbs. woolen cloth; 40 ells English linen; 1/4 cwt. wrought iron; 7 lbs, haberdas hery. His fourth child was born in Pennsylvania. The ship was a fast one as it had docked in Delaware by Aug 6, 1682, George Southern, Master. (C-2228c)

Bartholomew was supposedly one of 3 different early Coppocks who immigrated to our country, one of these being a slightly younger Bartholomew (all possible relatives of each other.) In William Penn's original land grants to purchasers from Engla nd, Ireland and Scotland, a Bartholomew Coppock is listed twice. The first was dated Mar 20 &21st. The second was dated Apr 4 & 5, 1681, both prior to the emigration of Penn and his followers to Pennsylvania. On those dates, William Penn of Suss ex in England sold 250 acres (in Hightough, Chester Co.?) to one Bartholomew Coppeck and 500 acres to another Bartholomew prior to his emigration to the colonies from William Penn in "The Annals of Pennsylvania." (see the two Bartholomew's liste d below.) (C-1979, 2228e) According to descendants of the Bartholomew whom this biography is about, this Bartholomew was the one that purchased 500 acres from William Penn. The exact reference in Bryant's Abstracts of Chester Co. Land Records is : Deed. On 20 & 21 Mar 1681 William PENN of Sussex, England to Bartholemew COPPECK of Salsbury, yeoman. William PENN for ?110 grants to Bartholemew COPPECK a tract in province of Pennsylvania containing 500 acres. Signed
William PENN. Delivered in the presence of John MARTIN, William PARKER & Harbt SPRINGETT. Recorded 01 Jun 1688. (A1B34)
If this family tradition is true, then he is probably the Bartholomew who owned 800 acres on Crum Creek on a map of Chester Co. (now Delaware) PA, dated 1683. He was a farmer by trade. He seems to have been a witness to a will signed on board th e ship Friendship in 1684 (on a return trip?). His neighbors on Crum Creek, PA were also Wilmslow natives. (C-253a) He purchased 300 acres from John Nickerson of Lower Providence on Apr 12, 1687 which is where he resided until his death. John ha d originally obtained the land from William Penn. Bartholomew Coppeck was from Springfield (PA) at the time of his 1687 purchase. He is therefore also likely to be the Bartholmew Coppock whom in 1687 was appointed to the first Court of Equity fo r Springfield Twp., Delaware Co., PA along with 2 other prominent citizens, George Maris, and Samuel Levis.
In 1696, he is listed as a neighbor of James Stanfield who was selling 100 acres to Thomas Hope and 100 acres to Henry Haines. That land was in Marple bounded by land of Thomas Massey, Darby Creek, and Henry Haines as well as Bartholomew. Accord ing to "The History of Delaware Co., PA", he is the Bartholomew that lived on land on Darby Creek in Marple. (C-2136) If this is accurate, then he is the Bartholomew who also witnessed the following deed: "Deed. On 07 Nov 1709 Joshua FEARNE of D arby, yeoman, to Josiah FEARNE of Darby, yeoman. Joshua FEARNE for ?155 grants to Josiah FEARNE a tract bounded by Darby creek & land of John WOOD, containing 50 acres, being part of 500 acres originally granted to Thomas WORTH & Samuel BRADSHAW , who then granted 50 acres to Joshua FEARNE of Darby, dec'd, by deed dated 04 Oct 1687. Joshua FEARNE by his will dated 06 Apr 1693 bequeathed to his son & heir, Joshua FEARNE, the 50 acres. Signed Joshua FEARNE. Delivered in the presence of Is aac TAYLOR, Bartholemew COPPECK & John SIMCOCK. Recorded 10 Nov 1709. (B2357)" (Bryant, Abstracts of Chester Co. Land Records)

Our Bartholomew's will was dated July (5th mo.) 10, 1718 and probated March 9, 1718/9. It names his wife, Margaret, three grand-daughters through deceased son Jonathan, daughter-in-law Jane, Jane's brother John Owen of Philadelphia, his son Bart holemew and children Margeret, Rebecca, Sarah, Martha, and Moses. (C-429, 613, 2150) He was listed at near age 73 in the death date of 12/20/1718/1719.

His will is transcribed as follows: I Bartholomew Coppock of Marble in the county of Chester and Province of Pensylvania being in Reasonable good health of body and of sound and Perfect mind and memory Praise therefore be given to almighty God D o make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manor & form following First and Principally I Commend my Soul into the hands of almighty God that gave it and my body I committ to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Exec utors hereafter named and as following the Disposition of all such temporal Estates as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me.

Thomas Minshall was born in Great Sankey, L? , ENG July 16, 1652. Thomas died 1726 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA, at 73 years of age.

He married Margaret Hickock 1679 in Under Hartshaw MM, ENG. Margaret was born July 16, 1652 in Upper Providence?. Margaret died May 27, 1727 in Middletown, Deleware, PA, at 74 years of age.(1262) Her body was interred abt May 28, 1727 in PA, USA . Thomas and family emigrated to Pennsylvania on the "Friendship" via Liverpool, England on Aug. 14, 1682. He was from Lathford, Cheshire, England. (C-1073)

He purchased 625 acres in Midletown Twp., PA from William Penn on March 22, 1681 for a penny an acre prior to his arrival. He also bought property on the north side of Walnut St. in Philadelphia between 3rd and 4th Streets. When he presented hi s contract to William Penn, he was given 300 acres in Nether Providence, 315 acres in Middletown (Tyler Arboretum) and 10 acres of "Liberty Land." Thomas and wife settled first in Nether Providence but decided that that region was too low and ha d too many Swedish settlers. They packed up and moved further into the woods.

The Quaker Meeting in that region first met at his home. He, Bartholmew Coppock and John Bowater were early residents of this meeting. He later donated an acre in Media, Delaware County, PA on which to build a meeting house. It was built in 169 9 on what is currently Providence St. Though rebuilt due to fire, it is still in use to this day.
