My 10^th great grandfather, John Mendenhall (1659-1743) came to America with his siblings in 1685. He settled down in Concord, Chester County, Pennsylvania, married Elizabeth Maris and had 3 sons.

Concord Township is divided into four villages that date into the 1600s- Concordville, Elam, Markham and Ward. Most of my family lived in Concordville. 

The population in 2010 was 17,231 (in Concord Township).

My ancestors were Quaker, as were most of the townspeople in Concord Township. This was the Concord Quaker Meeting House :

John Mendenhall built a house for him and his family with a lot of land: (the picture I was going to put is REALLY blurry, sorry.

John's sister- Mary Mendenhall (1670-1728) came to America a year after her other siblings. She married Nathaniel Newlin (1665-1729) and they started the Newlin Mill- which is still there today! 

The Newlin Mill- Made grain from 1700s to 1942! The old mill is still there today!
