Notes for John Hannum:
John Hannum, by deed of 1.1.1686, purchased of Jeremiah Collett, of Chichester, County of Chester, and Province of Pennsylvania, two hundred acres of land, situate in Concord township, in said county, but since the division thereof, dating September 26" 1789, in what is now called Delaware county, adjoining lands of Nathan Park, Gideon Walters (Godwin Walter), and George Stroud (George Strode), the consideration being four pounds.
This is the earliest positive information of John Hannum which has been obtained after diligent search. There were two or three families located in early times in southeastern Pennsylvania and the northern part of Delaware with surnames of very similar spelling, and with often the same Christian names.
Careless or ignorant spelling in the records from which data have been gathered has made it very difficult in some cases to determine to which family reference was made, and it is more than likely that some information concerning John Hannum has for this reason been discarded. The same is also true of some of the spelling contained in the recent records sent us.
In a few instances a marked change will be noticed in the spelling of family names.
Sometimes it will appear as if the children of a family all born at the same place, were born at different places, for instance, where a county, township, or district was divided before the younger children were born, and the home was found to be in the part taking the new name, and no notice being given of the division.
On October 25" 1687, there was laid out across the land of John Hannum and others a "forty foote road from Concord to ye King's Highway in Chester."
John Hannum, by deed of 4mo.1.1688, sold to John Wirkham one hundred acres of land in Concord aforesaid next to land of Godwin Walter.
About 1702, he gave a lot of about one acre of land at or near the northwest corner of his tract purchased of Collett, and near his home, on which to erect a church. Services were no doubt held in the neighborhood, but nothing definite can be learned as to when the first church building was erected on this lot, which was surveyed by Isaac Taylor, the noted surveyor of Chester County, on September 25" 1724. The present church building was erected in 1844; the one preceding it contained what was known as the Hannum pew in recognition of John Hannum's gift of the lot, and there still survives at least one of the family who in childhood frequently occupied it; it was near the middle of the church building.
This building was destroyed by fire; the early records of the church were also lost or destroyed, and the right to the family pew is no longer recognized, in the present church. This is called St. John's Episcopal Church, Concord. John Hannum, by deed dated the 2 and 20" day of the 8" month called October, 1705, purchased of Edward Jonnans one hundred acres of land in Concord aforesaid, which he had purchased of George Strode adjoining lands of John Palmer, Godwin Walter, Thomas Hall, and other land of John Hannum.
The original brick dwelling on the Hannum property was added to at both ends, and is still standing at the top of the hill a few yards beyond the church, on the left-hand side of the road leading to Chester, nine miles away.
At the August term of Court, 1722, John Hannum sought and obtained the privilige of keeping a house of entertainment to sell "Beer and Sider." His name appeared annually thereafter until omitted from the list in 1731, to be followed by his son John's application in 1747, whose name appeared annually thereafter until 1760. This house was for a time known as the "Buck," and was kept from 1785 to 1787 by William Hannum, and in 1788 ceased to be a public house. At a court of private sessions, held at the house of John Hannum in Concord, the 15" day of December, 1724, action was taken concerning the safety of the public records from fire and other casualties.
John Hannum seems to have been a Friend or Quaker, for Morgan Edwards in giving an account of the Seventh-Day Baptists of Newtown, Nottingham, and French Creek, after referring to the division in the Society of Friends, caused by George Keith and his adherents, some of whom became convinced of the doctrines of the Baptists, says that the Society of Keithians most forward in these matters was that kept at the house of Thomas Powell, in Upper Providence, which forwardness, it is said, was owing to one Able Noble, who visited them, and was a Seventh-Day Baptist minister when he arrived in this country. The time they began to put their designs in practice was 4th month 28th, 1697, when the said
Abel Noble baptized a public Friend (whose name was Thomas Martin) in Ridley Creek. Afterwards Mr. Martin baptized other Quakers, viz.: John Hannum, Margery Hannum, Mary Palmer and others on 7th mo. 27th, 1697, also in Ridley Creek.
Able Noble is claimed to have been the first Seventh-Day Baptist in Pennsylvania, and to have arrived in 1684. His name is among the forty-eight who signed the reasons for the Keithian separation. That he signed this paper is evidence that he had been a Friend, to which may be added his marriage at Darby Meeting, in 1692, to Mary Garrett, a member thereof.
John Hannum and eighteen others, on October 12th, 1697, incorporated and proceeded to choose a minister by lot, which fell to Thomas Martin, who the same day administered to them the Lord's Supper for the first time. From that day forth other Keithian Quakers were baptized.
George Keith afterwards became an Episcopal minister, and many of his followers adopted the same faith; among them were John Hannum and his wife Margery.
The building of St. Paul's Church at Chester, Pa., was completed in July, 1702, and on Sunday, January 24th, 1703 (new style), St. Paul's day, the edifice was opened to public worship, Rev. John Talbot preaching the first sermon. Rev. George Keith preached there on February 7th and August 3rd, 1703, and afterwards. In an account of the building of the church (St. Paul's), furnished to the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, allustion was made by the writer to some of the "Parishers who were chief helpers to carry on the work," among whom were John Hannum, and Jeremy Collett, as Jeremiah Collett was often called. John Hannum was appointed vestryman on April 18th, 1704. Records are found of his reappointment on April 22nd, 1712, and again for the years 1715, 1716, 1718, 1719, 1720, and 1727. There is litttle doubt but that he served continuously between the first and last named dates, although it is said there was no meeting of the Parishioners between 1704 and 1712, perhaps only no records found, as between 1720 and 1727. John Hannum married Margery Southery, daughter of Robert Southery, a fuller by trade, late of Westbury, in the county of Wilts, England. Her sister, Mary Southery, married John Palmer, a neighbor, and closely associated with Mr. Hannum.
We can only surmise the order of the births of the children of John and Margery Hannum, and have adopted the following, which we believe to be in a measure correct.
It is probable that all the children were born in Concord.
1. John Hannum, d. 1730; m. Margery Southery, prior to 7-27-1697; she died about 1742, and it is the prevailing belief in the family that they were both buried at St. John's Church, Concord. Children:
