Notes for Sarah PASCHALL
Sarah Paschall, wife of Isaac Wistar Morris, inherited from her grandmother, Elizabeth (Coates) Paschall, "Cedar Grove", which with its quaint and venerable stone mansion on the northwest side of the old road near Harrowgate Station was the country home of the Morris family until the present generation, and is still the property of John Thompson Morris and his sister, Lydia Thompson Morris, though the encroachment of modern improvements induced them to erect their present summer home "Compton" at Chestnut Hill, where they have spent the summer months since 1887. "Cedar Grove" was erected in 1748 by Elizabeth (Coates) Paschall, wife of Joseph Paschall, on property taken by her father, Thomas Coates, in 1714, and was inherited by her granddaughter, Sarah (Paschall) Morris, and somewhat enlarged in 1790. It is a delightfully antique old Colonial dwelling, with a hipped roof, dormer windows and wide piazza. The interior with its wide hall and spacious rooms, with their old fashioned wainscoting, broad window seats and wide fireplaces, when garnished with the solid old furniture and quaint bric-a-brac of by-gone generations, presents all the
delightful charm of the old time home now so rarely met with.
