Descendants of Rev. John Tindall
3. Richard2 Tindall (John1)4 was born circa 1659/60 in Beerferry, Devonshire, England; he married Elizabeth Vicary 1678/79 in Somerset County, Maryland; he died circa 10 Nov 1696/97 in near Alloway Creek, Old Manneton Precinct, Salem County, New Jersey; he was buried circa 10 Nov 1697 in near Alloway Creek, Old Manneton Precinct, Salem County, New Jersey.
He immigrated in 1674/75 to Fenwick's Colony. He left a will on 10 Nov 1696/97.
Richard Tindall received a land grant for 400a. in Somerset County, Maryland in Februiary 1681/2, in an area of the county that is now part of Sussex County, Delaware. No other records have been found regarding Richard or his land. Since the only settlement in the area at that time was in the vicinity of the present day Lewes, it is assumed that the land was located in the Lewes area. He is assumed to be the same as the Richard Tindall who settled in Salem County, New Jersey, just across the Delaware River from New Castle, Delaware, about 1678. This Richard was surveyor-general of Fenwick's Colony and a surveyor for William Penn. He married Elizabeth Vicary, and he died in 1698. Another Tindall, Thomas, probably Richard's brother, settled in the area now Trenton, New Jersey about 1678 and died in 1714.5

"When George Fox traveled through what is now New Jersey he found a few New England and New York Quakers along the northern coast, at Middletown and Shrewsbury, where a monthly meeting existed before 1670. But West Jersey and Pennsylvania were a red man's wilderness, with only a few Swedes and Dutchmen living along the Delaware. Within a decade, however, the country was opened to settlement by the English, and Quakers established themselves on the river from Salem to Burlington on the Jersey side, and from Chester to the falls in Pennsylvania.
"The founder of the Salem colony was John Fenwick, Northumberland born, who had served in Cromwell's army before his conversion to Quakerism. With another Quaker, Edward Byllynge, he purchased West Jersey from Lord Berkeley, Fenwick receiving as his share one tenth, the present Salem and Cumberland counties. In 1675 he and a group of settlers sailed for New Jersey in the ship Griffin, and founded their colony on the Assamhocking (now Salem) River."7
