16453 The 17th Century Mendenhalls in Concord, Pennsylvania
Source: Smith’s “History of Delware County, Pennsylvania”
Transcription & Minor Editions:: Chad G. Nichols
Benjamin Mendenhall came from England, probably in company with his brother, John. They came from Mildenhall, in Suffolk* that being the original family name. In 1689 he married Ann, the daughter of Robert Pennell, in Chichester Friends’ Meeting of which they were both members. Their children were Benjamin, Moses, Hannah, Samuel, Rebecca, Ann, Nathan, and Robert. By trade he was a wheelwright. He was a man held in good esteem both in his religious society and as a citizen. In 1714 he served as a member of the Provincial Assembly. He died in 1740 at an advanced age while his wife Ann was still living. Their son, Benjamin, married Lydia, the daughter of Owen Roberts of Gwynedd. Their son, Robert, married Phoebe, the daughter of Isaac Taylor of Thornbury. Hannah became the wife of Thomas Marshall, and Ann, the second wife of John Harthram, the Botanist.
Mildenhall, in Wiltshire, is only a country place of ten or a dozen houses; it lies off the great thoroughfare, and is not to be found on all maps. But Mildenhall, in Suffolk, is a market town of four or five thousand inhabitants, with a stream navigable for barges, and a good business town for its size. It may be found on almost any map; and this is probably why Smith supposed they came from the County of Suffolk.
(The Buckner Anderson family went to Mildenhall in Wiltshire in 1955. The town is near Marlborough. It is quaint and small and the very old church most interesting. Marridge Hill, the family estate, is no more but the old timers have heard of it.)
John Mendenhall was a brother of Benjamin and Moses, and doubtless came from the same place in England. He was one of the earliest settlers in Concord, Pennsylvania, and in 1685 was married to Elizabeth, the daughter of George Maris, of Springfield Township. He was a Friend, and was active and influential in the Society. In 1697 he granted the ground occupied by Concord Friends’ Meeting house and graveyard. In 1708 his wife, being deceased, he contracted a second marriage with Hester Dix. He was one of the original shareholders of the first Concord Mill. His children by his first wife were George, John, and Aaron. It is not known that he had any by his second wife.
Moses Mendenhall was a brother of Benjamin and John, and doubtless came from the same place in England. In 1686 he was a resident of Concord, and purchased land from his brother, Benjamin. It does not appear that he was a Friend. He returned to England.
Nathaniel Newlin, son of Nicholas Newlin, emigrated with his father from Mountmelick, county of Tyronne, Ireland, in 1683, and was of age at the time of his arrival here. In 1685 he married Mary Mendenhall, the sister of Benjamin and John Mendenhall. He was a man of good abilities and exercised considerable influence both in the meetings of the Friends and in the community at large. During seven years at different times he was a representative from Chester County in the Provincial Assembly and was frequently employed in other important trusts. He continued to reside in Concord as long as he lived, and held a large amount of real estate there as well as elsewhere. A brick dwelling house erected by him in 1699, upon the site of the present (1862) dwelling of John Sharpless, was standing till within a few years past. Their children were Jamima, Elizabeth, Nicholas, Nathaniel, John, Kezie, and Mary. He died in 1731.
Record of Concord Township:
This township was originally laid out in a rectangular form, but has now an irregular portion to the southwest appended. The name probably had its origin in the harmonious feeling of some of the first settlers.
The land for a Friends’ meeting at Concord and a graveyard was conveyed or rather leased to trustees by John Mendenhall in 1697, they paying “one peppercorn yearly for ever,” a meeting house was erected. This meeting house was destroyed by fire about the year 1787. In the apartment in which the congregation assembled for worship, there was no place for a fire; but before meeting assembled in cold weather those who desired to make themselves comfortable, assorted to fires made in open fireplaces in each end of the attic. From one of these fires the building took fire. The present large meeting house supplies the place of the one destroyed; and, since the division of the society, a second has been erected on the same lot.

16457 The next child was their son, John. We have not found his christening record and there is some confusion concerning the day of his birth. The membership records give the date of March 25, 1833, but the family Bible lists March 20, 1833. In the census of 1841 John was listed as age 9, and living at home with his parents.
His mother died the following year and he and his younger brother, Edward, went to live with his relative, Esther Wager, who was a widow. Her son, Jeremiah, was living at home and like John, was classed as an agriculture laborer. The 1851 census also lists John and Edward as agriculture laborers. John was 19 and Edward was 16. Their older brother George had also stayed there years before.
Three years later John married Charlotte Taylor, daughter of Edward Taylor and Ann Nichols at the Brimsfield Church on May 18 1853 by the Rector W. Moore. He had not reached his 21st birthday, and Charlotte was only 19, so they needed the consent of Charlotte’s parents. The marriage was witnessed by his brother, George Taylor, and Louisa Gyther, whom George later married.
Charlotte was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and John was taught the gospel. He received a witness that it was the true church and he was baptized by his brother-in-law, George Taylor on February 5, 1854. They had a daughter, Hannah Louisa, born in 1854 at Foston Ash in Granham. John was then a husbandman.
In 1856 they joined the Taylor family and a group of saints and set sail on the S.S. Thorton for New York and Utah. They stayed in Salt Lake City until 1861 when they were sent to Goshen, Utah to settle.[3]

16458 This history like all others is a story of a people seeking a land of freedom. Gideon Brownell arrived in Farmington some time in early 1848, perhaps left before Joseph Lee Robinson was first Bishop he was then called to go and help settle Parawon, he served from 1849 to 1851. Brother Brownell was chosen second Bishop of Cotton-Wood as it was then called. It was later called Farmington. He and Bishop Robinson helped the little settlement to build and grow. They had many hardships, they helped the Pioneers to build, lay-out streets, roads, build school house, a little store and substitute place for worship. Bishop Brownell's home was the Rock home where George Papadokis lived, and is still standing.
Gideon Brownell was born May 5, 1789 a son of Benjamin H. and Mary Ann Danby Ruthland, Vermont. The mother Mary Ann Russell Brownell father born May 8, 1750 at Dutcher, New York. Gideon married Elizabeth Wheeler, she was born Oct. 16, 1789 Hartsmonth, Bristol Mass. Benjamin was born in New Hampshire.
Gideon and Mary Ann were blessed with eight children. The history doesn't give an account of their children except who the eldest daughter Mary Ann, who was born March 2, 1815, she married Jesse Pearson. They were married in Nauvoo June 3, 1840. There were no sealings in Nauvoo Temple at that time, so they were sealed in the Office of President Wilford Woodruff Dec. 26, 1851. After arriving in Utah they were endowed Jan 3, 1846 in Nauvoo.
Gideon had his first Patriarchal Blessing while living in Nauvoo by William Smith a kin to the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. He had a second blessing after reaching Salt Lake City by Joseph Epheram.
In the fall of 1845 the Brownell family moved to Nauvoo, where Gideon and Father worked on the Temple. They like all other Pioneers were driven by angry wicked mobs from there homes, so they all prepared for the long trek across the Plains.
Brownell must have been call called by President Brigham Young to go to Cache Valley to help settle that place. We have no date, but I am sure it was done after retiring as Bishop from 1855 - to? They built our rock meeting house 1862.
Brother Brownell died in Logan March 16, 1871 at age of 82. His wife died there also in 1870 at age 81.
Our little Town had four or five apostles living here at one time also the Budge Brothers who were sent to Logan they were Doctors.
All the dates and information I have of Bishop Brownell was given by relatives Clarissa Clark Issacon from Murray. Thru her we also obtained his picture which is now placed in that vacant spot we had for a number of years with the other Bishops of our ward. Gideon Brownell is a Grandfather to Clarissa C. Isacson, and she is an aunt to Mrs. Gillis who lives here. Justin Clark who once lived here in Farmington owned land and is the Father of Clarissa C. Isacson.
