• Notes

  In 1705, Martin Jarvis purchased a house and lot on 2d Street, between Market and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia and made his residence there the remainder of his life. His daughter, Sarah married William Sandwith, an Irish Friend, of Philadelphia, and became the mother of Elizabeth (Sandwith) Drinker (wife of Henry Drinker, of Philadelphia, one of the Quaker exiles to Virginia, in the War of the Revolution), whose diary, covering the period 1759-1807, is a valuable record of the social life of the time.
