Note N231 Index

John was known as Joh Cadawallader of Wales, Horsham and Warminster and was a well-traveled Quaker missionary who died on the Island of Tortolla. He was a minister among the Society of Friends (Quakers) and was very eminent in the early religious history of the Province of Pennsylvania. He made many trips to other countries. As the Friends do not have ministers as most Protestant denominations know them, his work corresponded with that of a missionary in a Protestant denomination.
He may have immigrated here in 1697.

"Said to have immigrated from Wales dates unknown as well as his parents (see notes below).

Married 22 May 1701 (or July) in Montgomery, PA to Mary Cassel (Castle). U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900/ and US Quaker Records, Abington MM. Mary immigrated from Kresheiman, Palatinate Germany in 1686, age of 8y. Her parents were Johannes Cassel (1639-1691) and Mary Graeff (1643-1738) resided in Germantown, PA.

John & Mary's son; Benjamin Cadwallader (1749-1834) m. Grace Comly.
* at this time, no verifiable records on others.

John was a minister and traveled to many places, including twice to England.
His tribute (testimony) given at Abington MM after his death on 2-5-1745 & 5-26-1746:

A certificate granted to John Cadwallader to travel in the Service of Truth in Tortola or elsewhere in West Indies, and our friend John Cadwallader having proceeded in a voyage to the Island of Tortola; landed on said island on the 8th of 9 mo, 1743, and being taken indisposed of the flux sometime before he landed, his distemper continuing upon him. He departed this life on the 26th of said month in great peace where he was buried, as appears from account sent hither by our friend John Pickering, Gov of Island.

John died at age 65 years.

* very possible he married a second time, difficult to follow handwriting from Philadelphia MM, as the marriage was "declined". A few months later (1732); John C listed on index as member of Abington MM, with spouse listed as Elizabeth Hinkson. No other records found."--Find-a-grave
