Hance Supplee, eldest son of Andrew, was born in Upper Merion July 14, 1714. His wife, Magdaline Deborah De Haven, was born November 25, 1716. They were married in Philadelphia, August, 1736 in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia County. The De Havens were also French Huguenots. Hance Supplee and wife also resided in Upper Merion, until about 1750, when Hance purchased and with his family moved upon a farm in Worcester township, Montgomery county. This property is known as the "Supplee Homestead Farm." The dwelling house built by Hance Supplee in 1753 is still standing, and although erected one hundred and fifty-one years ago is in very good condition, and from present appearances will endure another century at least. Hance Supplee and his wife Magdaline were the parents of a large family--six sons, and eight daughters:
Andrew Supplee b: 13 SEP 1737
Elizabeth Supplee b: 20 NOV 1738
Sarah Supplee b: 14 OCT 1740
Deborah Supplee b: 30 NOV 1741
Peter Supplee b: 2 SEP 1745
Abraham Supplee b: 1 APR 1748
Rebecca Supplee b: 13 SEP 1749
Hannah Supplee b: 25 NOV 1751
Rachel Supplee b: 6 MAR 1753
Isaac Supplee b: 7 SEP 1754
Jacob Supplee b: 2 AUG 1756
John Supplee b: 1 SEP 1758
Mary Supplee b: 3 DEC 1761
Catharine Supplee b: 4 DEC 1763
Hance Supplee in 1770 gave a plot of land from his farm and built thereon a meeting house which is now known as the Bethel Meeting House. He also donated an adjoining lot for a cemetery, which is named the Bethel cemetery. Strange to relate, Hance Supplee's remains were the first to be buried in the grounds he donated. He died December 16, 1770, aged fifty-six years and five months. His widow, Magdaline, resided at the homestead place the remainder of her life, and died October 5, 1801, aged eighty-five years.
