James and Margaret (Garret) Mundell, who were received as members of the Goshen Baptist Church, at Garards Fort, Pennsylvania on January 26, 1776. In addition to Abner, they were the parents of James, John, Jonathan, Margaret Hart, Eleanor, Eli, Levi, Joseph and Andrew. From 1776 - A Time to Rember by Dorothy T. Hennen - James Mundell was brought to America at age 15 by his father, James Mundell. The son became an apprentice to a cask maker or cooper. James finished his apprenticeship at age 21. He was offered a horse, saddle, and a suit of clothes, for the sum of $100.00 and his craftsman papers, as was the custom. He took the latter, and later went to Chester, PA where he joined a group of young men going west. They hit the Monongahela River, near Pittsburg and came up that river to the south of Little Whitely Creek. He staked one square mile or nearly 600 acres on the west side of the river in the vicinity of Whitely Creek, Ceylon, and Turkey Knob in Monongahela Township, Green County, Pennsylvania and named it "Mundell's Choice". His family cemetery is on a high hill overlooking the river and Ceylon. James and Margaret lived in Delaware for several years following their marriage. On Feb.13, 1753 James bought land from his father-in-law in Christiana and Mill Creek Hundreds, New Castle Co., DE (Deed Book x3:611). In August 1764 James was baptised and received into membership of the Brandywine Baptist Church near Chadd's Ford. On April 8, 1765 James sold his land in Newcastle Co. DE to William Cloud. On August 4, 1769 James and Margaret were received into membership in the Welsh Tract Baptist Church at Oencader Hundred, New Castle Co., DE. On January 26, 1776 James and Margaret were received into membership of the Goshen Baptist Church (Washington Co., PA) by letter of transfer. On January 19,1785 he warranted a tract of land for Mundell's Choice and on March 1, 1790 he was granted a patent for this land. James Mundell told Colonel Crawford that a plot existed to kill Col.Crawford, Col. John Minor and Rev. John Corbly since they were recognized leaders of the Whig Party. Later James Mundell went to Col.Crawford's fort and told him that a large force of Tories were collecting. The DAR has accepted the papers of James Mundell as a patriot for his part in quelling the Tory uprising in PA. [From The Mundell (Mundle) Family by Ruth Mundell Barry 1968] All the settlers in the Tenmile Country are Descendants of James and Margaret. Mundell's Choice was near the forks of Little Whitely Creek near Ceylon. The land was warranted to him on January 19, 1785. The land was near Aaron Jenkin's Fort and the Mundells do not seem to have suffered from Indians like some of their neighbors. The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Families.
