Cadwalader Jones, named on tax lists beginning in 1715,
owned part of tract 9 at that time and later acquired the rest. He
was a son of John Cadwalader.
[It was the custom of the Welsh to give as surname to their
sons the Christian names of the fathers. (e.g., Cadwalader ap John
[Cadwalader the son of John, or Jones, which was the same name].)
This makes genealogical study today quite difficult, but the custom
is very ancient. For example, the name of the disciple of Jesus,
Simon Barjona, meant: Simon the son of John. See Futhey and Cope,
History of Chester County, p. 207.]
He and his wife, Eleanor Jones, had children:
John
Mary m. 1733 Hugh Pugh
Sarah m. [at Uwchlan meeting 3-30-]1737/38 Owen John

Rebecca m. 1746/7 John Thomas

Cadwalader m. 1750 Mary Gatlive, daughter of Charles
John Cadwalader and wife Sarah owned land in Willistown and
Tredyffrin early. A Quaker meeting was organized at his house in the
Great Valley in 1712. He is thought to have been a brother [of] Gwen
Cadwalader of Radnor who married Robert Williams of Merion in 1691 and
moved to Uwchlan. [The Great Valley, or Duffryn Mawr in Welsh, was
the name given to the Chester Valley which stretches westward from
Philadelphia along what became the main line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and U.S. Rout
John Cadwalader was listed in the 1715 and 1719 Uwchlan tax
lists. He acquired a [tract] from David Lloyd about 1715, but sold
it almost immediately to Thomas Fell, setting aside one acre for a
Friends meeting house and burial ground. In 1718 John Cadwalader
received a patent for most of tract 66. He sold it to John Evans in
1719. There is no further record of land ownership in Uwchlan by
John Cadwalader.
John and Sarah Cadwalader had children:

Cadwalader Jones left a will [Chester County Will Book 4,
page 143] dated 11th, 7th month, 1758, witnessed by Samuel Lightfoot,
Moses Cadwalader, and John McCord, in which he provided, inter alia,
I, Cadwalader Jones, of the Township of Uwchland in the
County of Chester, Province of Pennsylvania, being weak in body but
sound in mind and memory do make and publish this my Last Will and
Testament in manner and form following (that is to say)
First: My Will is that all my just debts and funeral expenses
shall be paid by my Executor hereafter named [his son and residuary
heir Cadwalader Jones].
*** Third: I give to my daughter SARA wife of Thomas Martin
the sum of twenty pound to be paid unto her a year after my decease."
He also left other bequests as follows: 80 pounds in annual bequests
of 20 pounds each, beginning at his death, to his son Evan Jones, 20
pounds to his daughter Rebecca, wife of John Thomas, 1 pound to his
sister Given John, 1 pound to his sister Elizabeth Cater, 1 pound to
his grandson Hugh Pugh, and five shillings to all other of his
grandchildren living at the time of his death.
[The author has an old letter from "Hibernia" dated 3rd mo
19th 1787, addressed to "John Martin or Aaron Martin," as follows:
"Respected Cousin--I well remember
having an Order from Rich'd Cheney on Thy Father. The sum I cannot
just now ascertain, but Expect the Order will set that forth. I
likewise recollect that he said it was rather more than he was
Indebted to the s'd Cheney, and in Consequence thereof I think we
compounded the matter he paid rather more than he thought due & I
Received something less ------ Am with Respect thy fr'd Jesse Jones."
Susanna Brody, an historian of Uwchlan Township, has stated
that "as far as we know there was no relation between Cadwalader
Jones (son of John Cadwalader) and William John except by marriage,
though Cadwalader Jones used both the names Jones and John as
surnames, the surnames Jones and John both being taken from a
father's first name. Later generations settled on Jones.]

William E. Parke left certain genealogical records, copies of
which were passed on to his niece Jerry Kinkead. She has a transcript
of a document William Parke found among the papers of his uncle, Dr.
William L. Martin, of Rancocas, New Jersey, hereinafter called the
"William Martin genealogy." Dr. Martin wrote, inter alia, as follows:
I herewith will endeavor to give a little history of the
Martin family. Some of it may not be entirely correct as there is
some part I am not certain that I can state truly.
Thomas Martin, my great, great grandfather came over from
Ireland with a brother of his in the colonial period of our country's
history. They were both members of the Society of Friends. Thomas
settled in eastern pennsylvania, - I think in Chester County near the
Brandywine not far from Downingtown. His brother went on to
Kentucky where he settled. Thomas was a farmer by occupation.
The name Thomas Martin first appears in the Uwchlan Township
tax lists in the year 1747/48. For that period, he is listed as a
"free man," that is, an unmarried non-landowner. Inclusion on this
list would mean that the person named resided within the township at
least by the date given. However, the precise date of settlement is
still uncertain because the tax lists for the half-dozen years before
then were not made or no longer can be found. Futhey and Cope's
History of Chester Coun
Uwchlan meeting had witnessed 3rd month 30th 1738 the
marriage of Sarah Jones, daughter of Cadwallader Jones, to Owen
John. Owen John died and then the Goshen Monthly Meeting Marriage
Records (1722-1787) record: [page 142]
Whereas Thomas Martin the Son of John Martin of Chechester in
the County of Chester in the Province of Pennsylvania Deceased and
Sarah John widow of Owen John late of Uwchlan in the said County &
Province having declared their Intentions of Marriage with each other
before several Monthly Meetings of the People called Quakers held at
Goshen in the said County according to the Good Order Used among them
and having consent of Parents and Relations Concerned their said
Proposal of Marriage w
And moreover the said Thomas Martin and Sarah (she according
to the custom of marriage assuming the name of her Husband) as a
further Confirmation thereof did then and there to these Presents set
their hands.
And we whose names are under written being present at the
solemnization of the said marriage and subscription have as witnesses
thereunto set our hands the day and year above written.

The Goshen Monthly Meeting minutes relate:
18th, 4th Mo. 1750--Also the friends appointed to the
marriage of Thos. Martin and Sarah John make the same report and
brought their certificate which is ordered to be recorded.
Thomas Martin of Uwchlan first became a landowner as
follows. John, Thomas and Richard Penn gave an early Patent for some
land in Uwchlan Township to one William John. [Patent Book "A" 7,
page 311, dated May 28, 1735. (Philadelphia).] Because of the custom
among the Welsh to take their father's first name as their last name,
so we are not certain whether William John's father had a Christian
name John or a surname of John. We do know, however, that this
William John gave his last nam
