Notes for Caleb SWAYNE
Caleb with minor son Benjamin Pennock Swayne had a certificate 2.8.1843 from London Grove Mtg to Cherry St., Philadelphia. By 10.4.1843 this was returned with the information that while Caleb was within the limits of London Grove, Benjamin was within limits of Baltimore Mtg. 12.6.1843 Caleb again had one to Cherry St., received 3.20.1844 by Philadelphia Hicksite Mtg, and 9.10.1845 Benjamin P. had one, received 10.22.1845 by Philadelphia Hicksite Mtg. 1.18.1865 Caleb was received from there by London Grove Mtg. Caleb had iron works, first at Laurel, then at Octoraro, both in Chester Co. In 1832 Joel Pennock, Jesse Pusey, Caleb Swayne and Thomas Vandiver received about 400 acres in Londonderry Twp and a tract in Chatham, London Grove Twp, from which during the next year they sold at least nine parts. In these deeds Caleb's wife was Philena. 17 March 1836 Caleb bought at least 113 acres in West Marlborough Twp including a tavern called White Horse Inn. In 1837 he and Philena deeded three parts of that, 20 acres in all. 16 Sep. 1839 they assigned all their real and personal property to David Walton and Benjamin Swayne, both of West Marlborough Twp, for benefit of creditors. 1st of 4th mo 1840 these assignees sold for $11901.65 the messuage and 96 acres in East Marlborough Twp received by Caleb by the will of his father. 26 March 1840 they sold for $1050.96 the White Horse Inn property, the tavern and 93 acres partly in London Grove Twp and part in West Marlborough Twp. It appears from Caleb's account book of his iron business that he gave credit to everyone and many of these have not yet paid. The American Republican has two advertisements about this assignment: one 3.23.1841 by auditors of assignees of Caleb Swayne & wife and Joel Pennock & wife; the other 6.18.1844 about distribution to creditors of Caleb Swayne.
