- W334484709 abstract "88 BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION JAMES SANDELANDS AND HIS MURAL GRAVESTONE By George Norman Highley * When the Founder of Pennsylvania landed here two hundred fifty years ago, one of the most prominent of the citizens of Upland to greet him was James Sandelands. The first record we have of James Sandelands is dated August 6, 1668, when he received a patent for land in Upland on the Delaware , upon the north side of the creek or kill. His name also occurs in a list of discharged soldiers for 1669; in 1675 he was Captain of the Militia within the jurisdiction of the Upland Court. Sandelands married Anna Kyn or Keen, daughter of Jöran Kyn, a leading Swedish settler at Upland, who had come to this country in company with Governor Printz in 1642. It was Jöran Kyn who deeded to Friends the ground upon which the first meeting house in Chester was built. In 1680, in a deed conveying land to him, James Sandelands is described as merchant. Just what goods he dealt in we do not know ; the only record relates to his purchase of tobacco in Maryland . At different times Sandelands continued to add to his real estate holdings until he acquired nearly five hundred acres of land on the west side of Ridley Creek, in or near Upland. In Dr. Smith's History of Delaware County, there is a map showing the location of these lands owned by Sandelands. The subject of this paper is mentioned frequently in the Record of Upland Court ; he often practiced as Attorney in the Court, and on at least one occasion represented a client at the New Castle Court. When Governor Markham came, in 1681, to initiate the Provincial Government, James Sandelands was appointed one of his council. He served as a justice of the Upland Court, and of its successor, the Chester County Court. In 1688, he was elected to the Assembly of Pennsylvania. 1A paper read at Chester, Pennsylvania, 5 mo. 21, 1932, at the summer meeting of Friends' Historical Association in observance of the 250th anniversary of the first arrival of William Penn in America, 1682-1932. JAMES SANDELANDS AND HIS MURAL GRAVESTONE 89 According to his mural gravestone, Sandelands died April 12, 1692, aged 56 years. He must, therefore, have been born in the year 1636. His wife was buried October 5, 1704. In an account of the building of St. Pauls Church, it states: 'twas agreed that his (Sandelands) grave should be distinguished and set apart from the rest of the burying ground by an enclosure or wall of stone. This design was no sooner formed and noised abroad but 'twas . . . suggested . . . the intended stone wall about the place of his interment might be wth some what more charges carried up and formed into a small chapel or church. This quaint mural tablet is perhaps the oldest and most elaborate of such memorials of the dead still surviving in the region of the Delaware River. At first, it was erected in the Old St. Paul's Church, but in recent times was removed to the newer church of that name in another location further up in the town. The old slab, of gray sand stone, six feet in length by three feet in breadth, has along its borders in large capital letters these words : Here lies interred the bodie of James Sandelands, Merchant in Upland, in Pensilvania who departed this mortal life April te 12, 1692, aged 56 years and his wife Ann Sandelands Its face is divided into two parts, the upper bearing in cipher the initials, JS and A S, and the arms of the Sandelands family. On the border, dividing the upper from the lower part are the words : Vive Memor Lethi FFugit Hora (The memory of those sleeping lives as time goes on). The lower half contains many emblems of Mortality : the tolling bell, the passing bell, the skull and cross bones, the hour glass, an upright coffin, bearing on its side the words, Memento Mori (Remember the dead), Time Leum (Fear God!), and in the corner, a sceptre and mattock, and mattock and spade. Sandelands' descendants are still..." @default.
