History of Chester County, Pennsylvania Page 755 Robert Vernon came from Stoke, in Cheshire, England. He was a member of the Society of Friends, but did not take such an active part in meeting affairs as Thomas and Randal, though the Monthly Meetings were sometimes held at his house. He conveyed his brick messuage and 330 acres of land, where he resided, to his son Jacob just before his death, which occurred in January or February, 1709-10. His wife, Elinor, who came with him, was the daughter of John Minshall, and sister of Thomas Minshall, a settler in Providence. She died 7, 24, 1720. Their children were Isaac, m. in 1710, Hannah Williams and Mary (Sellers) Marshall; Jacob, m. 4, 5, 1712, Eleanor Owen, and settled in Philadelphia later in life; John, m. in 1702, Sarah Pyle, who left three children,--Moses, Rachel (m. to Robert Green), and Aaron. Gideon Vernon, son of Moses, went to Nova Scotia at the time of the Revolution.
