Notes for Thomas MINSHALL

---

Thomas Minshall, early Media residentThomas Minshall House, 1700s
In 1681, after receiving the colony of Pennsylvania from England's King Charles II, William Penn began selling parcels of the land in the form of a "Lease and Release." One such buyer was Thomas Minshall, who in 1702 emigrated from England and settled on farmland deeded to him by Penn. He had paid for the lease prior to leaving Europe, not knowing the exact location of his land in the colonies.
Minshall's farming land was set up outside the town limits of the Village of Providence, which contained a blacksmith, a wheelwright, stables, outbuildings, and a few small houses and farmland areas. The road where Minshall's house stood lead to Chester and was know as the Great Providence Road.
