sessions is shown quite fully in his will. Ann, as may be noticed, died long before him. He m. second wife, Phebe Thomas, 9 mo. 15, 1757, at Uwchlan M.-H., widow of Richard Thomas of Whiteland, and mother of three of his daughters-in-law. She was b. 8 mo. 26, 1717; no record of her death. For further notice see John Trimble, No. 18. No ch. by the last marriage. From various certificates granted by Concord and Uwchlan Monthly Meetings, it would seem that William and Phebe removed to his possessions in Whiteland for a time, but returned to Concord after the death of his son John, and continued to reside there until the close of their lives.

He arrived in this country in company with his brothers in 1719, and probably remained with or near them for some time, though nothing is known of his doings until we find— "At a Monthly meeting held at Concord meeting-house ye 5 day of ye 3 month 1735, James Trimble Desires to joyn himself to friends and come under their care which is approved of." 66 It has been suggested that both William and James were inticed into the fold by their sweethearts," but, whatever the cause, we may safely assume that the subsequent life of each shows a sincerity of attachment to principle not common where connections are blindly formed. 7. Mary Palmer, being younger than Ann, was probably b. about 1708, but the entire record concerning her age seems to have been lost. The proceedings relating to their marriage being exactly similar to those of William's and Ann's, I have somewhat abridged them: "At a Monthly Meeting held at Concord ye 6 day of 8 month 1735 James Trimble & Mary Palmer appeared here & proposed their intentions of Marriage with each other &c. At the next meeting 3 of 9 mo 1735 James Trimble & Mary Palmer appeared here and continued their intentions of Marriage &c. &c.
