1732 February 6, Caln in Chester County in Pensilvania, to Uncles Thomas & Joshua Pim
Title:
1732 February 6, to Uncles Thomas & Joshua Pim
Description:
Co. Laois lies in the ancient province of Leinster in Ireland, and is also known as Co. Leix or Queen’s Co. The Dictionary of Quaker Biography lists Lacka House as the residence, four miles outside the town of Mountrath, of the birthplace of William Pim and the home of his grandfather, John Pim. Mountrath was founded by Sir Charles Coote in the seventeenth century, who established a manufacturing and industrial center on his estate. The town supported over the years an ironworks, an oil mill, two distilleries, a brewery, a linen manufacturing business, and a cotton spinning business . The town of Caln, PA, lies in Chester County and is named for Calne, Wiltshire, England, where many of the town’s original inhabitants emigrated from. The meeting house in Caln dates from 1726. A century after his emigration, William Pim’s descendants remained in good standing in Caln. In Eugene L. DiOrio’s Chester County: A Traveler’s Album (Marceline, MO: Walsworth Publishing, 1980), Richard Pim is listed as a prominent landowner in 1837 who built a still-standing six-sided schoolhouse for his children.
