DEDICATION
(Fkom a late English Writkr.)
"The long-descended squire of earlier days had no paltry snobbery. His
younger sons followed honest trades without shame: his brother, the London
merchant, visited him all unknowing that commerce was a grease spot on the
pedigree. The great interest of the shire is not in the titled houses, but in
the plain landed gentry, honorable tradesmen and skilled artisans. The new
genealogy is a li\ing instrument : it may uphold or cast down pretentious
pedigrees : but it suggests possibilities of honorable descent for the unrecog-
nized Commoner."

Preface to New Edition
An authority on the subject has written, "The Subject of Genealogy or
Family History is one of great and increasing interest to a large portion of
our citizens; it meets a desire of our human hearts to know from whence we
have sprung and the relation we bear to our fellow mortals. No virtuously
disposed mind can look back upon a long line of venerable ancestors without
feeling his motive to an honorable career strengthened."
It is also to be noted with great satisfaction that the desire to be con-
nected back to a line of royalty has been supplanted by the fact that an ances-
try of brain and brawn as found in the substantial ranks of a virtuous people
furnishes an honorable basis of satisfaction and enduring pride.
With due appreciation of the very general interest of the various mem-
bers of "the family." it yet still seems best to mention as valued co-operators in
the work Gilbert Cope, Genealogist, of West Chester, Pa.; Prof. William T.
Lyie, of the Lafayette College. Pa. : ^latilda Jacobs, of Aurora. X. Y.. and
Hon. Geo. E. Chamberlain, late Governor and now U. S. Senator of Oregon,
as having furnished especially valuable data. With the correction of errors,
the addition of new data and the improvement in illustrations there is indulged
a good hope for a fair measure of appreciation of the contents of the book."

Explanations
It is the hope of the writer that the plan which has been followed is such
that all can understand it, yet a few observations may be of service. The
work has been divided into tico parts, in order to keep the lines of the Trim-
bles in a more compact form, believing this will give the best satisfaction.
The children of each family will be found in regular order by the number of
their parents in the succeeding generation. The maiden names, when ob-
tained, are given, to show the family connections. The occupation and ad-
dress always refer to the husband when the numbered name is a married wo-
man, and in other cases to the numbered name, unless specially stated. When
a small figure thus ^'^ is attached to the right of a name, it indicates that the
person belongs to that generation.

As a fitting frontispiece to this work a view of Concord Friends' Meetinghouse
is presented. Concord Meeting was established in connection with one at Chichester very
soon after tlie arrival of William Penn and his Colonists in 1682. They came to estab-
lish a State and set up the "Holy Experiment" of a government on the basis of Peace.
The first official record of the meeting is 17th of First month (March O. S.) 1G84; the
meetings being held for some time at the houses of Friends until they could afford to
build their meeting house
The first land for the meeting house and grave yard was conveyed as follows
(See also accompanying illustration)

The nature or any description of these original buildings has not been discovered.
In 17i?8 a brick meeting house was erected; which stood until 17S8 when it was at least
partially destroyed by fire. The present building was then erected being considerably
enlarged; the right-hand portion with its door as a centre represents the original brick
building.
The first tract of laud contained about one .Acre and sixty seven perches, A second
tract adjoining this on the South East and rt^aching to the old Philadelphia road (now
mostly vacated) was purchased of Nicholas Xewlin Sept. 4, 1739 containing lA. 138
Perches. The whole tract of 3A. 44 Perches forming a very commodious and beautiful
site.
The building and description is piesented as the scene of many of our forefathers
transactions in alfairs of Marriages. Deaths and the saureil office of Religion.
"The name — Concord— was probably bestowed on this locality by the first setlera
as illustrative of their harmonious feelings." — Smith History of Delaware Co. Pa. Here
they worshiped according to ihe dictates of their own consciences; here their love-vowa
were fulfilled at the marriage altar; and close by, in the graveyard which is immediately
back of the house, lies the dust of
"Brave hearts that dared the lough broad seas
For homes and freedom in the wood-
Strong arms that felled the giant trees,
And tilled the earth where once they stood.
"They came not here to carve a name
On Honor's tablet high and grand:
Their humble works, unknown to Fame,
Still live and bless their chosen land. . ,
"To that young land their needful aid - ^ .
Helped to achieve results sublime, i,:.
And each progressive step they made
Has left Its mark for com ins: time.
"Their duties were their chief desires.
Their faith no narrow creed confined; -
And we inherit from such sires
Full right to freedom of the mind.
"And where they sleep small flowers bloom.
That scarcely catch the passer's gaze:
It was their wish no flaunting tomb
Should be emblazoned with their praise."— JACOB PAINTER.
In the work herewith presented the author has not preceded the settlement of
Pennsylvania, excepting by an occasional note that has fallen into his hands, or to
discover the origin of some of the principal surnames connected with its progress. It
may be proper to observe that the cause of this is owing to the lack of positive records
and difficulty in obtaining correct information; and so, with the materials at hand, I
proceed to their arrangement.
The word Palmer as a surname traces its origin from the time of the Crusades in the
twelfth and thirteenth c<^ntu:ies. The emblem of supriorlty or triumph had for a long
time become associated v/ith the palm tree. It is said, from its peculiar nature of regain-
ing its tnie position after being bent or pjessed out of shape. See Webster Dictionary
Definition 5. The evidence of its emblematic nature may be seen by reference to a
few passages from the Bible
In relation to the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus xxili. 40): "And ye shall take
you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of
thick trees and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven
days."
The ninety-second Psalm, writt»^n near the close of the Babylonish Captivity by
one, probably having a view of their return to the Land of Promise, in the twelfth verse

After visiting the Holy places they embarked for Italy, but only a remnant of two 'thous.
and arrived safely in their native land. Ingulphus a secretary of William the Conqueror
was a companion of this pilgrimage; he observed that 'they sallied from Normandy thirty
stout and wel appointed horsemen, but that they repassed the Alps twenty m serable
palmers with the stati in their hand and the wallet at their back ' "
With these records of derivation it is easily perceived that there could be no com-
mon patriarch to many of the various families of the name that now exist; therefore
though the name may often figure in the records of the Old World, it will require the
mcsc definite proof to connect their Transatlantic relationship.
Besse records the name a few times in his "Sufferings of the Quakers" from
which I extract: ^.^wiu
r^ r a u'-^° ^u^!' T^omas Palmer and Richard Mills, coming to a meeting in Banbury
Oxfordshire, had two mares taken from them valued at £5."
"In 1659, Thomas Palmer and two others were subpoenaed into the Exchange at
the suit of John Dyke, a priest, for tithes, valued at 14s.: they appeared accordiuglv
but refusing to swear to their answer, were imprisoned for contempt in a low dungeon
at Warwick, twenty steps deep, where the said Thomas Palmer lay ten months."
.,.v. '^P ^^^^' ^°^^ Palmer and others committed close prisoners to the Bottom in
Aldburgh, for frequenting meetings at Ipswich, Suffolk."
"In Buckinghamshire seventeen persons, including one Thomas Palmer were
taken out of a meeting by soldiers and carried to justices, who, upon their refusing to
swear, sent them to prison."
"In 16G4 Ezekiel Palmer of Cambridgeshire had seven cows taken wonh *''2
for nonconformity to public worship."
"In London this year there died in Newgate, or by sickness contracted there
twenty-five persons— viz., John Clark, John Wilkinson. John I^wis, William Tomkins'
John Hales, Robert Twynn, Henry Haster, Joseph Stonehouse, Marv Draper John Pal-

granted; but they were privately interred in the ground belonging to the gaol, that their
deaths might be concealed as much as jiossible from the observation of the people."
In the chancel at Snoland in Ktnt, where Thomas Palmer, who married the
daughter of Fitz Simon, lies buried, is the following epitaph:
"Palmers all our faders were
la Palmer lived here
And travelled still, till wud age
I ended this world's pilgrimage
On the blest Ascensian day
-^^ In the cheerful month of May
A thousand with four hundred seaven
I took my journey hence to heaven."
Bailey in "Clark's Introduction to Heraldry," thus defines the difference between
a palmer and pilgrim: "A Pilgrim had some dwelling-place, a Palmer none; a Pilgrim
travelled to some certain place, the Palmer to all; the Pilgrim must go at his own
charge, the Palm.er must profess poverty, whether real or willful; the Pilgrim might
give over his profession, riut the Palmer might not."
Burke's "Encyclopedia of Heraldry" describes forty-five coats-of-arms under the
name of Palmer, one of which is herewith presented. It will Illustrate the range of
thought in those times, even though it may have no connection with our family:
On a few of them were mottoes, for example:
"Par sit fortuna labori."
Trans. — By labor there is fortune.
"Palma Vlrtuti."
Trans. — A palm to valor, i. e.. There is a reward to courage.
"In Deo est mihi omnes fides."
Trans. — All my trust is in God.
In later times Lord Nelson had for his motto: ' '
i^ "Palmam qui merint ferat." v - . -
Trans. — Let him who has won it bear the Palm.
The name early found recognition in literature. Chaucer uses it in The Prologia*
to the Canterbury Tales.
"When that Aprilis with his showers swoot,
"The drought of March has pierced to the root,
"When Zephyrus eke with his swoote breath ' " ,
"Inspired hath in every grove and heath
"The tender croppes. ♦****«

From "Marmion" Canto 1. Stan. 23. — Sir Walter Scott —
"Here is a Holy Palmer come.
"From 'Salem first, and last from Rome:
"One that hath kissed the blessed tomb
"And visited each holy shrine
"In Araby and Palestine;
"On hills of Armenia h?.th been
"Where Noah's ark may yet be seen;
"By that Red Sea, too, hath he trode, .. •

Extract fiom "The Palmer" by Felicia Hemans —
"Art thou come from the far-oiT land at last?
"Thou that ha.st wandered long!
"Thou art come to a home whence the smile has passed,
"With the merry voice of song.
"Say what hast thou brought from the distant shore
"For thy wasted youth to pay?
"Hast tho\i treasures to win thee joys once more?
"Hast thou vassals to smooth thy way?
"I have brought but the palm branch in my hand
"Yet I call not ray bright youth lost!
"I have won but high thought iu the Holy Land,
"Yet I count not too dear the cost!
"I look on the leaves of the deathless tree
"These records of my track;
"And better than youth in its flush of glee
"Are the memories they give me back! " ^-
"A rich light thence o'er my life's decline,
"An inborn light is cast;
"For the sake of the palm from the Holy Shrine
"I bewail not my bright days past."
Savage in his "Genealogical Dictionary of New England" gives an account of a
great number of Palmers who settled in that region, and who doubtless are the progeni-
tors of many of the name scattered through this country. Of whom the following may
t>e mentioned as important —
1. William Palmer who came from Nottinghamshire, England, in the ship Fortune.
the second vessel after the Mayflower, iu ltji;i, landed at Plymouth and settled at Dux-
bury, ^lass., and has left numerous de-cendants.
2. Walter Palmer also from Nottinghamshire in 1629, landed at Charlestown Mass.
He was one of the original setlers of that place. Afterwards he was one of the founders
of Rehoboth, Mass.. in 1643; and of Southerton now Stonington, Conn., in 1633. He fmally
settled at Wequetequook Cove where he had purchased a large tract of land, a short
distance North East of Stonington and in Rhode Island, and in a nearby graveyard he
and many of his family were buried. A view of his residence is herewith given. He
was twice married and had twelve children whose descendants are very numerous. He
was an influential man in his day both in State and church affairs and many of his
descendants have been persons of talent and distinction. A re-union of the family wa3
held at Stonington Conn, in ISSl and again in 1SS2 of which an interesting Book was
published by Noyes F. Palmer of New York.
3. Thomas Palmer from Bradford, England, came in the ship Expectation in
1635 and founded the town of Roxley, Mass.
4. A Lieutenant William Palmer was made a freeman at Yarmouth, Mass., June
7, 1638. He afterwards settled on Long Island.
5. A William Palmer settled in Virginia at an early date and has many descend-
ants through the Southern States.
6. A Thomas Palmer from Kelso, Scotland, in 1790 settled in Philadelphia, Pa.,
where theie are yvt his descendants.
7. In the purchase that gave the name Nine Partners to a locality in Dutchess
County New Yoik, there was one partner to that extensive undertaking named Mathew

INCIDEXTA L xi
Palmer who came from Nottinghamshire. Ergland. to New York In 1720. From
accounts he appears to have been a F'rit^ml (or Quaker). His descendants are numer-
ous, among: which were said to Iv? John I^ilmcr and his sister Catharine Palmer Foulke,
of Stroudshurg. Pa., who were influential mini.^ters In the Society of Friends.
8. An Anthony Palmer was jiresidont ot" the Provisional Council of Pennsylvania
and ex-officio governor from May o, 1747 to Nov. 2.*'., 174S. He was a gentleman of
wealth and had come to this colony from the West Indies in 17(t8. He was married and
some of his descendants are said to still reside in Philadelphia. (See Armor Lives of
the Governors of Pennsylvania.)
9. One name that would be noarly contemporary with the subject of this work
has this to his record. "John Palmer born 1^67, son of John of Situate, son of first
John of Situate and Hingham. Mass., who camo to this country In ship Klizabeth In Sep-
tember 163r>. He was probably a brother to 'Ihomas of Poxley. Mass. (See No. 3 of
these notes.) Both of these hav* a large progeny scattered over this country.
10. There were also setlers of the name in New Jersey. Smith In his history of
the state, mentions a John Palmer of Slaien Island having with others made a settle-
ment on the Raritau about the Falls, and that "John Palmer was appointed by Deputy
Governor Rudyard as one of six persons whom he a])pointed as a council for East
Jersey, In which he was continued till lijS4, when a new council was appointed." The
six names thus appointed were: Lewis Morris, John Berry, John Palmer, William
Sanfford, Lawrence Andros and Benjamin Price.
11. As another contemporary with John Palmer, the immigrant to Concord, there
lived in London Samuel Palnier, an eminoni printer, in whose office Benjamin Franklin
was one time eniployed. He died in 1732. And later in the eighteenth century fig-
ured John Palmer, an actor of very considerable talents belonging to the Drury Lane
Theatre, bom about 1742. In his profession he excelled. He died suddenly on the stage
immediately after uttering the words, "There is another and a better world."
12. There arrived in Penns\!vania about 1684, John and Christian Palmer in the
ship Providence of Scarborough, Robert Hopper master, and settled in Bucks county.
Pa. No known relationship existed between these and the Concord settler, and as
there has never appeared any tradition concerning an affinity, it is highly probable
they sprang from distinct families in the mother country.
13. There were numerous settlements of Palmers in the lower part of the State
of Delaware, a descendant of which was the late Maj. Gen. William Palmer of Colorado
Springs. Colo., a noted Cavalry General of the Civil War.
With the hope that these "Incidentals" rnay prove of Interest to the readers for
want of further space they will have to suffice.

GENEALOGICAL HISTORY
Palmer Division
FIRST GENERATION
^^'ith an appreciation of the rich inheritance attached to the name — Palm-
er— some^vhat sho\vn in the foregoing "Incidentals," and to be found in
many other vahiable accounts; and with a desire that the name shall always
be duly cherislied and i>erpetuated, the genealogy is herewith presented of the
descendants of JOHN PALMIER, who settled in Concord township, Chester
(now Delaware) county, Pa., previous to or about 1686.
I— I. JOHN PALMER, b. in England: d. 1742. Concord, Pa.; m.
MARY SOUTHER Y, dau. of Robert, of Bethel, b. ; d. 1745.
A general tradition exists that John Palmer was either enticed or be-
guiled to leavi the home of his mother in England (his father being dead)
by those interested, to pay his way for the profit to result from his labor (a
custom somewhat in vogue at that time), and that he embarked from London
and came to Pennsylvania, where he served a number of years at labor for
his passage. No authentic records have been found to corroborate this tradi-
tion, but as it is very generally upheld by the elder members of the family, and
as no other account is to be found as to his appearance in this country, it seems
safe to give it a place in his history. This class of emigrants were called "Re-
demptioners." Although he had evidently been in the neighborhood (as will
appear by records given further on, in the year 1686.) yet the first reliable ac-
count that appears of his permanent settlement is the purchase of one hundred
acres of land of the patent for which a copy will be given.
This tract was first surveyed 7 mo. 4. i6S^. to William Hawkes on rent. —
it was afterwards occupied by Gideon Gambare (or Gambel) and in 1685 by
James Browne. It is not known that John Palmer had any dealings v.ith any
of these to obtain possession of this tract, nor is it of material consequence as
his patent fully perfected his title.

He had contracted his marriage previous to this time as the following
records will show, although no definite record of it has been preserved. He
married Marv Sudderv (Southery) who was a daughter of Robert Southery,
fuller bv trade, late of Westburv in the county of Wiltshire, England. Rob-
ert was' the purchaser of two InuKired and fifty acres of land in Bethel and
Thornbury bv deeds bearing date tlic tenth and eleventh days of October. 1682.
and probablv resided on the Bethel tract. He died before 16S6; who his wite
was or even her Christian name does not appear, the only clue being that
Robert Sotithery and John Gibbons were brothers-in-law. Mary Sotithery
Palmer had a sister. Margery, who married John Hannum. They also settled
in Concord about a half a mile north of John Palmer. They were the only
children and after their father's death they, with the co-operation of their
husbands, disposed of his late possessions. These facts in relation to them
are established bv the following extracts from the court records and deeds. _
In the records of the court proceedings held at Chester. Pennsylvania.
4th mo. 1686. (on file in the Clerk of Court's office at West Chester. Pa.)
it is noticed that a road is laid out from Bethel to Chichester 60 feet wide:
beginning at the side of Concord toward the river on the street or highway
of Concord: First, through land of John Gibbons, his house on the right
side; then through land of Robert Southery. late deceased, his house on the
left side; then through land of Robert Pile, his house on right hand, etc.
From this it is reasonable to assinne that Robert Southery had built a house
and resided upon this land and had lately deceased.
This land appears to have been a part of 5CX) acres of the John Gibbons
tract taken up by deeds of lease and release August 1-2. 1681. and conveyed
to Robert Southery, his brother-in-law. by deed of same tenor. October lOii,
16S2. It was surveyed November ij, 16S3. as 150 acres, and to make up the
deficiency to 250 acres. John Gibbons on the same date conveyed to said Rob-
ert Sotitiicry Too acres in Thornbury. By reference to the court records un-
der date of 7 month \G%(\ this latter tract was disposed of as followeth :
"John Palmer and John Hannum. by and with the consent of their v/ives.
Mar>' Palmer and Margcr}- Hannum, made over a deed for 100 acres of
FIRST GENERATION".
land lying and l>€ing in t!ie township of Concord (Thornbury) to Edward
Bennett, his heirs and assigns." This is conclusive evidence of their respec-
tive marriages previous to this date. As to tlie Bethel tract, the records show
that a deed was given by the .same persons, dated the ist day of the ist month
(March). i68S. to Nicholas P}le. for 150 acres of land in Bethel. To confirm
the title of these lands a l\qc(\ of release dated the 31st day of December. An.
Dom. 171 5. between John Palmer, yeoman, and Mary his wife, and John Han-
num, yeoman, and Margery his v.ifc. all of the township of Concord, county
of Chester. Province of Pennsylvania, of the one part, and William Brinton.
yeoman, of Birmingham, of the other part: in which it is fully set forth that
"Robert Suddery in his lifetime became lawfully seized in his Dcmeasn as of
fee of in the sd Two hundred and fifty acres of land with the appurtenances
and Dyed seized thereof in his estate aforesaid after whose Decease the same
Two hundred & fifty acres of land with the appurtenances Descended & came
to the sd ?^Iary and Margcr}- parties to these presents as the Daughters and
only heir of him the said Robert Suddery."
There is also a court record of 4 mo. 16S6 in Avhich is noted a difficulty
between Nicholas Newlin. of Concord, and John Hannum and John Palmer,
concerning a hog; and also that John Hannum was given an earmark and
brand mark for his stock, which also shovs-s their residerice here at this time.
It is likely John and Mary were Friends, for a time at least, for their
older children appeal c„ co have a right of membership in the Society, which
was not the case with the younger ones until taken into Meeting, as will be
noticed under their names. But the facts and traditions relating to that per-
iod indicate that they left the Society through the defection of George Keith.
a minister, who went oft because of non-agreement in doctrine, and that they
soon after joined the Baptists. By records of the Baptist Society, which were
in the possession of the late Robert Frame. Esq.. of Birmingham, it appears
that on 6 mo. loth. 1607. Thomas Powell. John Palmer, etc., five in number
were baptized : also on 7 mo. 27,1697. John Hannum. Margery Hannum. Mary
Palmer, etc.. ten. in number, were baptized — all in Ridley Creek.
On the return of Keith from England, whither he had gone soon after
his schism, he records preaching at John Hanon's (Hannum's) in Concord.
2 mo. 9, 1702. on the text ^Matt. xvi. 18. ar.d on the nth he preacb.ed at
Thomas Powell's, and states that both these men were formerly Quakers, to-
gether with several of their neighbors. In Smith's '"History of Delaware
Count}'" it is noticed that there \vere quite a number in Concord who adhered
to Keith. These facts seem to point quite definitely to their religious posi-
tion, but their children seem not to have gone with them (or at least those of
whom the records have come down to us), but to have continued members of
the Society of Friends.
Of the birth of either John or Mary nothing is known, but from the date
of their marriage, and being no doubt in the bloom of manhood and woman-
hood, we may reasonably conclude they came upoti this earth between 1660
and 1670. They continued to reside upon the land he had purchased all their
lives, but as to the nature of their dwelling-house, hi-tory seems to be silent.
The present dwelling (see illustration) was enlarged by his grandson Moses,
and is probably very nearly upon the original site.

They remained in good standing in the Society all their lives, and their
names frequently occur in the business of the [Meeting, especially as witnesses
to numerous marriages.
John followed the occupation of farming, at first on the farm be-
queathed by his father, and subsequently on land purchased by him in the
western part of Concord. (See map.) This tract of land, containing one
hundred and seventy-five acres, he purchased of Henry Peirce and Sarah his
wife by deed bearing date the 9th day of the oth month, A. D. 171 2. it being
part of a tract of 500 acres surveyed to John Hazelgrove 8 mo. 5, 1683. from

They probably did not remo\e to this situation until after the marriage
of tlieir son Moses: as we find that in 17.1.8 they ,c:a\e tlie home-place to their
son Moses by deed of gift, statin^'- the act to be from "the natural love and
Affection they bear to him. as well as for his better preferment in the world."'
A view of the old house and surrounding^ land is g^iven.
John appears to have taken an interest in the affairs going on around
him, and was one amongst others to be early concerned in schools.
By his will, which is here annexed, it is apparent that of ten children
which were born to him. only four were living when he made it. and that he
either had given his two daughters a sliare of bis estate in his lifetime, as he
had his son Moses, or thought that they did not need much.

iar name was "Patty Palmer." Rachel Arment, who died in 1855 in her
95th year, remembered her quite well, and said she would often walk from one
son's to the other's, a distance of two miles, when a very old woman. The
time of her death is not recorded, but it probably happened before 1780.

II— 3. CATIIERIXE PALMER 2 (John i), the oldest dau; the rec-
ords concerning her are very meagre. She. ni. Skears, but of her de-
scendants I have been able to get barely a trace. The names of Hebart Sker
and Rebecca Sker appear as witnesses 10 the marriage of William Trimble
and Ann Palmer, and the names of Albertos Scare and Margaret Scare as
witnesses to the marriage of James Trimble and Mary Palmer. It is reason-
able to infer that at least Hebart and Albertos were her sons, and that Re-
becca and Margaret were either daughters or daughters-in-law. This ends my
research concerning her.

1700, but no record of her birth or death h.as been discovered. She m. Rich-

In 1679 RICHARD BOVEIXGTOX aixl John Grubb purchased a large
tract of land on the southwest side of L'platul creek, of John Test, v.ho had
obtained it from Albert Hendrix. which is n.otcd in the court records of Xo-

William Penn obtained a charter for the Province of Pennsylvania on
the 4th of March 16S0 (1681 X. S. ) and on Sept. 13. 16S1. the'first court
was held under the new dispensation. At that time RICHARD BL'FFIXG-

chester and it appears that a survey of 400 acres was made 7th month, 14th.
1682 for Henry Hastings and Richard Buftington in Chichester township.
He appears to have resided here for several years. When by a deed of April
6, 1696, Ricliard Buftington and William Vestal purchased from the execu-
tors of John Loftus a tract of 218 acres on the Brandy wine near its forks
and by another deed of 6th month 2d. 1701, they purchased 218 acres more,
the rest of the Loftus tract, and made division by \"estal taking the latter
purchase, Richard But^ngton had settled on his part prior to the last date
and was probably the first settler in what is now East Bradford township,
though it was considered a i)art of Westown township until 1705, when Brad-
ford was first organized. He was appointed constable for Westown for 1701,
1702 and 1703. and was also supervisor of highways at the same time. In
1 70S he purchased 210 acres from Thomas ^Martin, of Middletown, to the
northward of his previous purchase, and after selling 100 acres to Nathaniel
Ring, divided in 1721 a portion to each of his sons. Thomas and William,
with a frontage to each on the stream. About this time he seated himself
upon an unoccupied tract of over 200 acres immediately in the forks of Bran-
dywine, upon which he erected buildings, probably under a lease or agreement
with the owner. After his death his son Joseph purchased the land from
Isaac Xorris, Esq., of Eairhill, Philadelphia, son of Isaac X^orris. who had in
1 718 purchased it of Jacob Taylor, to whom it had been originally surveyed.
It was here that he gathered around him his numerous posterity on an occa-
sion thus referred to in the Pennsylvania Gazette of June 28 to Julv 5, 1739,
and also noted in Watson's Annals of Philadelphia, to wit: "On the 30th of
May past, the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Ricahrd Buf-
fington, Senior, to the number of one hundred and fifteen, met together at his
house in Chester county, as also his nine sons and daughters-in-law and
twelve great-grandchildren in law. The old man is from Great Marie upon
the Thames, in Buckinghamshire in Old England ; aged about S; years and
is still hearty, active and of perfect memory." In religion, if ever a Friend,
he afterwards became a Baptist and was present at the first Baptist organiza-
tion in these parts in 171 5. and to this Sociey he bequeathed £20, as also
£5 to its minister. Owen Thomas. However, some of his children and m.any
of his posterity have been Friends or Quakers. He died in January 1747-8,
when he must have been in his 94th year.
Whether he was married before his arrival in this country is not known.
The name of his first wife, Ann or Anne, is mentioned from 1689 to 1697-S.
In 1710 and 17 12 a wife Frances joins him in conveyances and circumstances
indicate that ^he was the widow of John Grubb. who died in Chichester in
1708. His last wife was Alice Palmer, Xo. 4, of this work. She must have
l)ecn much younger than he, and their inarriage occurred about 1720. Bv his
first v.-ife there were ten children, none known by the second wife and three
by his third wife. Of the latter. see next generation page . Of the first the
following account is of interest because of their very numerous descendants.

II.— 5. MARJERY PALMER 2 (John i), b.- as nearly as can be de-
termined about 1702. Her parents havii^.g left Friends' Meeting, she conse-
quently was not a member, but at a monthly meeting of women Friends, held
at Chichester Meeting-house "ye ist of ye 3 mo., 1724, John Gore fie Mar-
jery Palmer declared their intention of Marriage ye first time, she producing
a paper from her father signifying his and his wife's being willing she should
proceed in marrying amongst Friends, she also Desiring to come under
Friends' care. Hannah Oburn and Elizabeth Walter are to inquire &c."
Women ]-Viends reported fa\orably and the marriage proceeded, but men
Friends appear to have been a little negligent, as *"Those friends that were
appointed to attend the marriage of John Gore and Marjery Palmer report
through some occasion they were neither of them there, the which shortness
is acknowledged, notwithstanding this meeting has received information that
ye said marriage was accomplished orderly the 17th day of ye 4th mo. 1724."
John lived but a short time after their marriage, and no records are to be
found of any children.
The next account of ^Marjery is, "At our Alonthly ^Meeting of Women
Friends held at Concord ^Meeting house ist mo. 7, 1735,
"Marjery Gore being a member for sometime of this meeting, but of
late hath Entertained a man in her house and saith she is married to him by a
Priest but Refuseth to tell ye time, and friends being with her but not Re-
ceiving Satisfaction Edith Xewlin & Grace Eavenson are appointed with a
man friend to give her another visit and if they tind occasion, to drav/ a Tes-
timony against her and Produce it to ye next meeting."
This was done, but not immediately carried into eftect. for "At our
Monthly 2^Ieetin.g of Women Friends held at Concord ^vleeting House ye ist
of ye 10th mo. 1735,
"Marjery Gore or Carlin sent a paper which was no way satisfaction
wherefore Aviary West & Grace Eavenson are appointed with a man friend to
draw up a Testimony against lier and make report to ye next meeting."
After a lapse of six years it appears —
"At our ^Monthly ]^vleeting of Women Friends held in Concord meeting
house ye 4th of ye nth mo. 1741, Marjery Carrel Produced a paper of ac-
knowledgment for her outgoing, which this meeting accepts."
Her husband's first name was Daniel, as "Daniel Carroll & ux }.Iargery
relict and admr of John Gore," exhibit accounts of administration. 1736-7.
He made his mark, and she signed Margery Carrell. The last of her where-
abouts is thus determined :
"At our Monthly Meeting of Women Friends held in Concord meeting
house ye ist of ye i2mo. 174 1-2 Marjery Carrel Desires a fev.- lines by way
of certificate in order to be joyned to a monthly meeting in the Jerseys, Mary
Newlin and Rachel Pyle are appointed to enquire into her conversation &
make report to the man friend appointed to draw the said certificate."
In the men's meeting of the same date Moses Key is appointed to assist
the women friends with the certificate; but her name on their records is
si>elled "Carlin," and at the meeting held ist of ist month 1742. tlie certificate
for Margery Carlin is approve;!. This is tlie last information concerning her
that has been found.

His wife, :\Iary Woodward Xewlin, was the dau. of Richard and Jane

where the father took up 500 acres of land, which was surveyed 7-24- 16S3
and for which he obtained a patent 3-1-16S5. It was resurveyed 2-2-1703 as
552 acres, to his son Xathar.iel Xewlin. The mill thereon erected has on a
stone built in the wall the inscription
''Xathan'l and Mary Xczcliii, 1704."
Some years afterwards William Trimble purchased land adjoining this
tract on the sou:h. See Trimble Division, and see also Smith's Map
of the Early Grants and Patents in Delaware Co.. Pa. Xathaniel
Xewlin continued to reside on this plantation and was a prominent
man both in the Society of Friends and in the community. He was for
several vears a member of Provincial Assembly, a commissioner of property,
a Justice of th.e county courts and a Trustee of the Loan Office of the Province.

1729, but only hved about a month thereafter.
Of the 'immigrant Nicholas Xewhn, we find that his certificate from
Friends in Ireland dated 12 mo. 25, 1682. expresses dissatisfaction with his
removal for which he had given no satisfactory reason, "but our Godly jeal-
ousy is that his chief ground is fcarfulness of sufferings here for the testimony
of jesus, or coveting worldly liberty." He was described as a gentleman in
easy circumstances. He was appointed in 1685 to a seat in the Provincial
Coiincil and was also a Justice of the courts of Chester county. His conduct
here showed him to be firm in the performances of duty under all circum-
stances.
MOSES PAOIER m. second wife, ABIGAIL SHARPLESS, 11 mo.
22, 1752, widow of William Sharpless, and mother by him of two children,
of which one. Abraham, grew up and became an extensive landholder in As-
ton and Concord. He died in 1835. See Sharpless record.
In the proceedings relating to their marriage occurs the following: "At
a monthly meeting 9 of 10 mo. 1752 Closes Palmer and Abigail Sharpless
appeared and proposed their intentions of marriage. Caleb Peirce and Wil-
ham Peters are to inquire as to his clearness relating to marriage and likewise
to see that the widow's affairs are settled to satisfaction.'' Everything being
satisfactory, they were allowed to proceed.
At a monthly meeting 4 of 12 mo. 1752: "The friends appointed to at-
tend the marriage of 2vIoses Palmer and Abigail Sharpless report that for
reason satisfactory to this meeting they could not attend but have made en-
quiry and fmd it was orderly accomplisl:ed in Concord meeting house and
moderate at the house of entertainment."
Abigail's maiden name was Sharp, dau. of Joseph Sharp and ^klary Pyle.
of Chester co., b. 2 mo, 28, 1729; d, 2 mo, 14, 1805, surviving her husband
over twenty years.
Joseph Sharp was an emigrant from Ireland, Pie settled in London-
grove, Chester county. Pa., where he d. in 1746. He m. ]\Iary Pyle, 9 mo. 4,
1713. at Concord Mtg., who was b. 6 mo. 23. 1689. dau. of Nicholas Pyle and
Abigail Bushell, Nicholas being an emigrant with his brothers, Robert and
Ralph Pyle from the County of Wilts, England.
In early life Moses Palmer appears to have been instructed in the mystery
of cordwaining. but soon left it for the more congenial occupation of farming.
He continued on the land obtained of his father in 174S for many years: he
also purchased the adjoining tract on the south, to which he removed a few
years before his death. He had acquired quite a considerable estate, which may
be observed from the following extract from his will. From this instrument,
dated 6 mo. 10, 1783, and proven August 27, 1783, the following is taken: —

The following account of their marriage is taken from tlie records of
Concord Monthly meeting: At a monthly meeting held at Concord 3 of 11
mo.. 1746, "Complaint is made against Xathaniel Eavenson for h-eing married

port how they find him." In women's meeting, same date. "Complaint is
made against Elizabeth Palmer that was. now Eavenson. for accomplishing
her marriage by a Priest. Lydia Mendenhall and Mary Pierce are to visit her
and make report." At the next mectin.g, "2d of u mo., 1746, Nathaniel Eav-
enson appeared hero with an acknow ledgment which is accepted and ordered to
be read at the breaking up of a tirst-day meeting at Concord." In the wo-
men's meeting "Elizabeth Eavenson's paper of acknowledgment joynt with
her husband offered to this meeting, which is excepted (accepted) and left to
men Friends for Publication."
The descendants of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Eavenson being all through
their daughters, it was with considerable difficulty that those given herein were
ascertained.
Nathaniel became the owiier of a large tract of land in Thornbur}' and
Westown townships, Chester co.. Pa., his deed calling for four hundred and
fifty acres, but v.hich probably overran five hundred acres. He and Elizabeth
resided thereon until his death. He made no will, an.d some time after his
death his daugluers proceeded to liave the land divided among themselves,
♦agreeably to the "advice of twelve of their friends." There were five of them
at his death, but one appears to have died licfore th.e division, as only four of
them are mentioned in the ^\•^itings. The deeds are dated 3 mo. 14, 1783,
and set forth their object of giving to each sister a clear title to her share of
the property.
Before this time, Elizabeth, m. her second husband. ]\'iUia',n Hazclcy, both
of whom agreed to the above .settlement of the property. She was his second
wife. (His first having been Hannah Taylor.) The m. took place 10 mo. 12,
1769, for which she was dealt with, by Concord Meeting for being m. by a
Justice. She. however, made an acknowledgment 5 mo. 7, 1774. which was
accepted, and died in membership with Friends. They were probably buried
at Birmingham. No issue by tiieir marriage. William Hawley. a son of Ben-
jamin and Dinah, the immigrants, b. 9 mo. (Nov.) 28. 1737; d. 6 mo. 2, 1826.
Her children by first husband. Nathaniel Eavenson, were: —
29. Martha, b. circa, 1747; d. before 3 mo. 14, 1753.

emigrated from England, and no doubt were "Friends." They purchased
land in the northern part of Aston, near where is now Stony Bank Methodist
meeting-house, and also in Concord adjoining it, and appear to have erected
their dwelling-house in the latter twp.*
The Concord tract of lOO acres was purchased 9 mo. 27. 1686, being part
of Thomas King's land patented 5 mo. 22. 1684. Robert obtained a subse-
quent patent for 251 acres in Concord and Aston, April 10. 1706. The Aston
tract appears to have been occupied previous to him by Charles Brooke and
Andrew Job. it being part of a tract of i.ooo acres surveyed to Thomas
Brassey in 16S4. John Chamberlin and Lettice Key were m. 10 m. (Dec.
O. S.) 21. 1 72 1, in Concord Mtg.
Lettice Key was the dau. of Moses Key and Elizabeth Yearsley (see No.
2), b. II mo. 26, 1703. Martha's mother being a sister to William's grand-
mother, it will be seen that they were what is known as first cousins once re-
moved.
This was noticed by Concord Monthly Meeting, held the 3 of 8 mo..
1748. as follows, when they proposed their intentions of taking each other in
marriage: "William Peters and Joseph Gilpin are to enquire into his clear-
ness Relating to marriage as well as how he stands related in Consanguinity to
her ye s'd Martha S: report to next meeting." At the next meeting, the 7 of
9 mo., 1748, it may be supposed that some discussion took place in respect
to their relationship, for "their s'd intention was allowed of by Permission
they having consent of Parents and Relatives concerned."
It seems probable that William and Martha continued to reside within
the limits of Concord Meeting, but the place of their residence has not come
to my knowledge, though he no doubt had a share of his father's property.
They were buried at Concord.
Their children were: —

9 mo. 16. 1 68 1. Ann was the dau. of William Stovey of Hilperton. Sarah
Gibbons appears to have been the widow of John Gibbons. Jr. ; her maiden
name was Pennell. Robert Pyle was one of "three brothers.'' the others be-
ing Nicholas and Ralph, all immigrants. They all became prominent citizens
in their new country. Robert obtained a tract of 130 acres of land in Bethel
May 1-2. 1683. upon wliich he resided until his death about 1730. Religious
meetings were frequently held at his house and no other member was more
active in church affairs..
John and Hannah Palmer resided on his father's farm in the western
part of Concord, working in conjunction with his father while he lived, and
after the lattcr's death he inherited it by his father's will. By tradition he
is represented as fond of outdoor recreations and an enthusiastic disciple of
Isack Walton. In 1S69. when I was making inquiries which led on to this
work. I visited Thomas Dutton, a venerable centenarian of his neighborhood
and in answer to the question whether he knew John Palmer (referring
to this man), his immediate and animated reply was, "Yes. indeed:
I went fishing with him many a time." John is said to have attained to the
great weight of four hundred pounds, and is historically known as "fat John
Palmer." It is probable that his disposition to obesity tended to shorten his
life. Aaron Beale, a life long resident, of Concord, who was b. 3-1-1 786. and
d. 1 2-3- 1 878. at the advanced age of 92 years, has related to the author that
he remembered this John Palmer, that when a boy he had been to see him in
company with his father and that he was the fattest man he ever saw. He
made no will and letters of administration were taken out on his estate 5 mo.
4. 1793. His farm eventually becoming the property of his sons Asher and
Josepli.
Their children were (but the order here given is not certain) : —
43. Asher, b. 1759; d. 5 mo. 20, 1817.

ford on the east branch of that stream long known as Buffington's ford. He

2 mo. 18. 1753; d. 4 mo. 11. 1842, and sister to Benjamin (see No. 44.) They
were considered a "sprightly young couple." And the evidence indicated that
their wedding was of a hvely character as the Friends — Wilham Peters and
John Brinton — who were appointed to attend the marriage reported "that it
was orderh^ accomphshed and a good degree of moderation at the house of
enteiiainment and where the youth appeared otherwise advice was adminis-
tered." However, they soon settled down to the active duties of life, and were
much esteemed in their neighborhood.
John erected buildings on the eastern part of the original Palmer tract,
which his father afterward gave him by will, and in connection with farming
carried on the business of saddlery. His death appears to have been rather
sudden, as he made his will 9 mo. 17. 1801. the day previous to his death.
His widow survived him over forty years, continuing at the same place with
her son John, who obtained the farm by his father's will. Both were buried
nt Concord Friends' Grounds. By this will it appears: —

Moses and Sarah settled at the old Palmer homestead, where he contin-
ued all his life. He carried on the hatting business, and was also extensively
engaged in farming, becoming, as he advanced in years, possessed of extensive
land possessions. He was a man of sterling integrity, and occupied a promi-
nent position in the Society of Friends. He represented the county in the
State Legislature for four years, from 1798 to 1S02. and at home was much
engaged in the enterprises of the neighborhood or settling difiTiculties. After
his death Hannah removed to Cincinnati. O.. and lived with her dau. Hannah

Of Thom.as Gilpin it Is related that he was an officer of the English army, but joined the Society
of Friends after the battle of Worcester. September 3. 1651. He was detained in Oxford seven weeks
for refusing to take an oath. He was fined ;<f20 for having a meeting held at his house -May 29. 1670.
and for having another June 26. the same year, his house was broken' open by order of a Justice and all
his household goods removed. In 1672 he was one of 15 persons liberated from O.xford jail by order of
the King.
^ He was a descendant through a long line of ancestry from Richard De Guloyn, to whom in 1206,
uarir.g the reign of King John, the baron of Kendal! gave the .^\anor of Kentmere, for his achievement
in slaying a wild boar, which infested the forests of Westmoreland and Cumberland. Though there is
no document earlier than this account, the name is no doubt of Norman ori^n and came with or fol-
lowed Vvilliam the Conqueror in 1016. The prefix Oe denotes this, and Giipin the name of a family
^2^te in Norraandv, from which surnames were largely taken. The Saxon influence in time causing
the prefix— De—to'be dropped.

Dear Friends: . • •
Whereas I through unwatchfulness or inattention to the dictates of Truth
have so far gone out of the right way, as to accomplish my marriage with a man not

The following in relation to the latter is taken from the Kansas '"'Ottawa
Republican" of Jan. 15, 1874: "}^Ir. Joseph Welsh, an old and respected
citizen of this county for many years, died at Greeley on Saturday last, after
a short illness, of congestion of the lungs. He was in the seventy-fourth
year of his age. Mr. Welsh came to Kansas in June, 1857. and settled
just west of Centropolis, Franklin Co., where he improved a farm. He after-
wards removed to Minneola, and served as justice of the peace for several
years. For the past few years he has been residing on a farm near Greeley,
Anderson Co. Air. Welsh was for forty years an ordained preacher in the
Methodist Church, but never took an appointment with any particular church.
He had been a member of the ^Masonic fraternity for over fifty years. Every
one who knew 'Father Welsh' respected him, for he was exceedingly kind-
hearted, a consistent, conscientious Christian, who lived his profession day
by day. He died in full assurance that he was going to a heavenly home."

He studied medicine and the following is from a published account of
his life :
Dr. E. M. Pyle located at Richmond in 1832, where he continuously
(with the exception of one year at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa) and successfully prac-
ticed his profession until the date of his death. He was a warm and intimate
friend of the late lamented Edwin }*!. Stanton, and at the age of 60 years,
through Mr. Stanton (who was then Secretary of War), he tendered his
service as volunteer surgeon for the Union army. Mr. Stanton acknowledged
this patriotic tender of his service in a letter in which lie stated that his age
would probably preclude his active services in the field, but that as soon as
an opportune opening w'as presented in a local hospital lie would be pleased to
recognize his offer. He was a warm friend of the Union cause, and did every-
thing in his power to strengthen the Union arms. Pie gave two sons to the
Union army, Thomas H., of the 8th O. V. I., and Samuel M., of the 52nd
O. V. I. (Dan ^.IcCook's regiment), whilst his eldest son, W. H. Pyle, M^ D.,
of Kaufman, Texas, whose family and interests were identified v/ith the
South, joined the Confederate forces as Brigade Surgeon of Gen. Carter's
Texas Cavalry Brigade. Dr. P\de was always in the front rank in matters

and after his m. kept a general store at Concordville until 1S43. Then re-
moved to his father's farm, of which he afterwards became possessed. He was
the sixth Palmer in direct descent to own this tract. Upon the m. of his
son, William T., he erected a new house on a portion of his land, in which
they lived for several years. He. however, died whilst on a visit to his son,
Dr. E. L. Palmer, at Doe Run, Chester Co., Pa. He was prominent in the
affairs of the Society of Friends, of which he was for many years clerk of
Concord ^Monthly ^Mtg., and afterwards an elder until his death. He had a
remarkable knowledge of both religious and political matters and was very
entertaining in his conversation. He had a very narrow escape from death
from fever in 1824, v.-hich left his physical stature somewhat impaired, and
again in his advanced age, as the following will show' :
Narrow Escape from Death — On Tuesday of last week, while Wil-
liam W. Palmer, of Concord, was in his woods, in company with his son, a
shower arose, accompanied with thunder and lightning. To get out of the
storm they both took shelter under different large white-oak trees, and while
there the lightning struck the tree under which was the father, shattering the
top limbs, passing down the trunk and tearing off the bark, until it reached
Mr. P., w^hen it glanced off, striking him near the hips, passing downward,
burning the skin on parts of his legs and feet, and prostrating him on the
ground. His son hastened to his relief, took off his own shoes, and carried
water in them to pour on and revive his father. Assistance was soon ob-
tained, and he was conveyed to his home and carried to bed, his nervous
system being entirely prostrated. Mr. Palmer is sixty-nine years old, and by
no means a strong man. Hopes are, however, entertained of his recovery. —

M. second wife, A:\IAXDA E. GRAY, Feb. 3, 1858, dau. of John Gray
and Sarah H. Bullock, b. 12 mo. 9, 1835.
They resided at 1 90S- 10 ^Market street, Wilmington, Del, where sev-
eral of his family continue. The following notices are taken from the Wil-
mington, Del., newspapers at the time of his death :
"For many years John Palmer was one of the lepresentative citizens of the Ninth
Ward, and his dcatii caused general regret. He made an exemplary record as a business
man, and had a high regard for the welfare of the city, state and nation. He had served
the people well as a member of the Board of Public Education, had identified himself
prominently with the interests of the church of his choice and raised a large family,
which brought him much comfort in his declining years. The city is much poorer by
losing such a good citzen.
"Mr. Palmer was one of the oldest residents of the Ninth Ward and had the re-
spect of all who knew him. He was born when the 9th Ward was known as Brandyv.-iue
Village, then a separate town from. Wilmington. In early life he began to learn the
trade of a tinsmith, but he developed such ability as a bookkeeper that he was given
that position by his employer. He was afterwards bookkeeper at Price's and also at
Lee's noted Brandywine flcur mills. After this he entered the grocery business with his
half-brother Adam Grubb. In IStlS the firm of Grubb & Palmer was dissolved and Mr.
Palmer bought the store at 1908 Market St., where he continued in business the rest of
his life, a period of thirty-three years. He was a member of the Mechanics Lodge, I. O.
O. F. He had been a Sunday school teacher and vestryman in St. John's Episcopal
Church and later a member of St. Andrew's Church, which he maintained until his
death."

Note. — The following is from the West Chester Local News, of Feb. 4, 1907.
"JOHN HALL.
"This morning a quarter before five John Hall, who has been regarded as the
oldest citizen of West Chester, passed away peacefully at his home on North Walnut
street. He was the last remaining brother, and now there is but one remaining mem-
ber of the generation, a sister, Mrs. Dickinson.
"When the news was passed about among the friends and relatives, much interest
was shown, for the aged citizen had seemed to belong to the people at'lar?e, so wide
•was his reputation on account of his advanced years and the manner in which he re-
tained his faculties long after the period when the average man gives up his hold on
earthly affairs.
"The deceased was born August 17th, 1797, and consequently had he lived until
the 17th of August next he would have been 100 years of age. This longevity is character-
istic of the family. His brother, Thomas W. Hall, reached the remarkable age of 101
years, 1 month and 4 days. He died less than a year ago at the residence of his daugh-
ter, Martha B. Seltzer, in Cnln township, this county. His sur\iving sister, Sarah," is
the widow of Edward Heston Dickinson, and is now in her ;^5th year, and still' in the "en-
joyment of good health. There was originally nine brothers and sisters — Edward, Malin,
Thomas W., Isaac, John, Jane, William, Sarah and Ann. Edward, Jane and Williani
all passed the age of four score.
Matthew Hall, who came to this country in 1701, was the founder of the Hall family
in America. He v/as the great-grandfather of John Hall and his brothers and sisters.
The parents of John Hall were Malin and Mary Heston Hall, of Philadelphia, and in
that city their children were born and reared.
A POTTER BY TRADE.
"John Hall learned the trade of a potter, but never followed it, feeling a distaste

for it when he became free. His father owned two farms in what was then Bleckley town-
ship, Philadelphia county. .John took one of them and went Into the milk business,
which he followed for a number of years, selling milk in Philadelphia. The farm prop-
erty located within what is now the solidly built up part of the city grew rapidly valu-
able, and Mr. Hall prospered in business. "When he retired from farming he was able to
do so with a compet'='ncy. It is probably forty-five years since he quit farming and
retired. About thirty years of t-hat time he has sp^nt in "West Chester. He, as well as
all the members of his family, belonged to the Society of Friends. He was a thoroughly
conscientious man, upright in word and deed, and commanded the respect and esteem
of all who knew him. He was firm in his convictions of right, and could vigorously
maintain an arg^iment in behalf of the cause he espoused. He was naturally of a benevo-
lent character and took an interest in the young men. He was thoroughly posted con-
cerning the affairs of the outside v.-orld. and took pleasure in marking the indications
of Its advancement, even though no longer himself active in its business schemes.
"He gave away many thousands of dollars in charities. He was largely instru-
mental in the building of the Friends' Boarding Home in West Chester, furnishing
much of the money for its erection. He assisted greatly, too. in the education of the
freedmen of the South. His brother w.is connected with the underground railroad, and
in his younger days John Hall many times drove a wagon that conveyed fugitives from
slavery on their way to freedom. It was largely his experiences in that connection that
led him to contribute so liberally toward the education of the blacks in later years.
"John Hall was in politics a "Whis: and afterwards a Republican and voted for every
nominee for Presidesit of these partie.- from ISIS to his death. When James Monroe was
elected the second time, in 1820, John Hall voted for him and William J>IcKinley received
his vote in 1896. That is a long record of participation in public affairs, and very few
others have equalled it. He lived during the administration of everv- President but Wash-
ington, having been born during the first year of John Adams' administration."

annually in Boston, Mass., and publish reports of their progress. They are collecting
genealogical and incidental matters connected with the family history, which may in
time be compiled into a connected account of the family. The obituary concerning the
Rev. George W. Chamberlain, No. 335, of this work, was taken from their report for 1902,
for which thanks are due.

byterian Board, Bahia, Brazil, passed away. 'The Presbyterian Assembly Herald' said of
him: 'The story of his life, when written, will make an inspiring book, and will cover
the essentials of the history of the Presbyterian missions in Brazil. Through Rio, San
Paulo, Parana, Bahia, Sergipe and part of Minas, he is the best known of American mis-
sionaries, and the undeniable evidences of his work are found over this vast area. He
may be justly called the builder of churches and the founder of schools.
" 'Of great coui-age, matchless enthusiasm, and tireless energy, he traversed the dan-
gerous regions of the interior on muleback, before the days of railways, and though
repeatedly stoned, driven from the towns and threatened with death, he returned and
delivered the message, won hearts, and churches grew up in his wake. A wise and sym-
pathetic counselor to those in trouble, he was a high type of a true missionary. He car-
ried into darkened lives the undying hope and the sure promise of the gospel of Christ.'
His body was buried in the English cemetery at Bahia, Brazil, according to his
'desire to be laid to rest in the land and among the people whom, he loved.' "

Rees came to W^est Chester in 1S49. ^"^^ learned his trade of a plumber
with John Lent, after which he engaged in business at Newport. Perry Co.,
Pa. But He returned to West Chester, in 1857, and in conjunction with his
brother bought out John Lent. Then under the firm name of R. & E. Palmer
conducted a stove, tinware, heating, plumbing and furnishing business
which grew from a moderate start to an extensive establishment, occupying
two large stores on Market St., opposite the court house. After thirty-one
years of a successful career, in 1888 they dissolved their partnership, each tak-
ing one of the stores, doing this to avoid complications in the settlement of
their respective estates. Rees had only the advantage of such education as
afforded by the common country schools of his youth, but developed remark-
able business qualities and in addition to this became a prominent citizen in
matters of importance in local affairs of his town. He also built several houses
and had his last residence at 32 S. High St. He and his family were mem-
bers of the Methodist Church. Issue : —

Eli learned the same trade as his brother. Rees, and with the same man,
John Lent; he went into the grocery business for a short time, but in 1857
went into partnership with his brother in their chosen occupation, which con-
tinued for thirty-one years. He continued in busin.ess by himself for twelve
years longer, when he sold out to his nephew in 1900.
The following account is taken from the "Ix)cal News" at the time of his
death : —
" With the death of Eli Palmer, which we regret to announce, West Chester has
lost one of hei- most respected and valued citizens. Mr. Palmer was in business here for
nearly half a century, and was known the country over for his staunch integrity and his
kindly, pleasant disposition.
"The deceased was educated in the public schools of his native place, and having
at an early age to shift for himself, he formed a good acquaintance of men and of business
methods which served him well in after life.
"During his long business career he was identified with nearly every enterprise for
the betterment of West Chester. When he first came here to learn his trade, the town
was little more than a village. He lived to see it have a population of 10,000. The
methods of plumbing were crude, and the accorr.modations deemed necessary in a house
fifty years ago were few compared with what they are to-day. He did not grow rich, not-
withstanding he transacted a large business for many years. Competition was sharp
and he sought to do his work honestly and well, which may account for his not accumu-
lating a large fortune.
"He strove to do something to aid every good enterprise, even though it should
not result in large monetary returns.
"Mr. Palmer was in his 67th year at the time of his decease, the last fifty years of
which he spent in West Chester. He v/as a member of the M. E. Church, and was
actively identified with all its interests. He was for many years the Superintendent of
the Sunday School and was a member of the Official Board. He was a sincere Christian
man and sought to live a life that was blameless. Those who knew him best respected
him most. He seldom lost a friend when once an intimacy began, and he was constantly
widening the circle of his acquaintance. He ever sought to influence the young for
their good, and many a man can testify that Eli Palmer advised him wisely and well.
He was careful in the instruction of his children and was spared to see them grow up to
follow in the pathway of righteousness and good citizenship.
"He was a member of the Good Will Fire Com-pany. He did not seek office, and
did but little to force himself into public notice, but was very willing to help others. He
was charitable and kind to every one. Altogether, his v.as a life well spent and he has
passed to his reward with the benedictions of his fellow men freely bestowed upon his
memory."

a sturdy citizen and active participant in public affairs. He was a man of great energy

forcibly at Farmers' Institutes and public meetings and as he was a close observer of na-

of the colored race. He had great conversational abilities and was listened to with
attention by young and old. He was a birthright member of the Society of Friends and

Resided in Upper Chichester, Belaware Co., Pa. He lost his life by
a stroke of lightning. The following remarkable account thereof is taken
from the "Belaware County Republican" of Aug. 9, 1850:
"On Saturday last, about four o'clock, a storm of wind and rain, accompanied by
lightning, passed over this county, during which a dwelling-house near Village Green —
where a number of persons were in attendance at a vendue — was struck by lightning.
The electric fluid entered the peak of the roof, passing down between the weather-
boarding and plastering, scattering them in every direction until it reached the first
story, where it divided, one portion passing in at a hook driven in the wall and from
which a looking-gla^s was suspended, and striking Nathan P. Button, who was standing
Immediately under the glass, upon the top of the head, leaving but a slight mark. The
fluid passed to his left arm above the elbow, thence down his body, burning the skin
in its passage. He li'^ed about five minutes, and was sensible of his approaching dissolu-
tion. The fiuid also passed from him to John McCay, who was standing near, struck him
in the back and ran down both, legs, burning the skin and clothes from his body, tear-
ing his shoes to fragments, and leaving a small hole in the toe of one as if perforated
by a bullet. The other branch of the fluid struck Richard P. Slawter, who was stand-
ing outside of the house, and felled him to the ground. He was taken up, but expired
in about fifteen minutes. Rachel Button, the mother of Nathan, was in an adjoining
room, and on being told of the fate of her son, she came out and immediately com-
menced to render every assistance in her power to restore him to animation. After lab-
oring with great anxiety for nearly half an hour, she gradually fainted away, and
continuing to lose respiration she expired in about three-quarters of an hour after the
death of her son.
"The remains of the deceased were all committed to the tomb on Monday. The
■whole neighborhood and many persons from a distance turned out to pay the last tribute
to their memories."

12 mo. 30, 1846, son of Thomas Bennett and Sarah Taylor, b. 4 mo. 5, 1824;
d. 12 mo. 31, 1907.
The following is taken from an obituary in the West Chester "Local
News" of Jan. i, 1908;
Thomas Elwood Bennett, when a young man, opened a store at Radnor,
Delaware Co., Pa. After a time he went to Upper Darby, same Co., and here
formed a partnership with Charles B. Lear under tlie firm name of Bennett
&. Lear, which lasted through life. Leaving here Mr. Lear went to West
Chester, Pa., and continued business as the same firm, which store is supposed
to be the oldest in Chester county contir.ued under one partnership manage-
ment. It was opened in 1S66. Mr. Lear died in 1905, his son, William P.
Lear, then taking his interest, and it is expected there will be no change now
in the business.
Mr. Bennett went to Pliilaielphia, where he was in business at 22nd and
Market Sts., and later at 112-114 North 9th St., at one time under the firm
name of Bennett & Colville and as T. E. Bennett & Co. He finally retired
from business and last residence was at 3903 Powelton Ave.
He was a great traveler and being possessed of a competency, he en-
joyed seeing the world. He made nine tours abroad, seeing nearly all the
European countries and also visiting Palestine and EgA-pt. His first tour was
m?de in 1878 and his last in 1906. He v.-ent three ^. .'mcs to California, tv\ice
to the Bermudas and on special trips to ^vlexico and the Grand Canon. He
spoke delightfully of what he had seen and heard while away from home; so
that old and young were both pleased and instructed with his stories. Being
of a friendly disposition he made acquaintances everywhere and many will
hear with regret that he has passed away.

The following is from a local notice printed at the time of her death :
Her early life was spent in the locality of Willowdale. where she attend-
ed the district school, and later went to Westtown Boarding School. Her
tastes were literary and she taught in the schools of West Marlborough af-
ter the close of her student life. In the early sixties she married William
Harry, a native of the State of Ohio and at the time a resident of Kennett
Square. They lived in that borough and for several years on the Ellicott
place at Avondale. Later Mr. Harry purchased a tract of land in Virginia,

where he remained for a year or so, and about 1870 or 1871, bought a prop-
erty on South Union street, Kennett Square, where, for ten years or more
the couple resided, until his sudden death in 1880. Since that time Mrs.
Harry made her home in her sister's family. Her retiring nature and long
invalidism made her much of a recluse, but she possessed the charm shared
in common by the daughters of James and Margaret Pyle, of winning refine-
ment, scholarly tastes, gentility and kindness. She was a member of the So-
ciety of Friends and her life bore the fruits of the discipline of that peaceful
sect. Elizabeth, wife of John D. Worth, of West Chester; Margaretta, wife
of the late Sharpless ]Mercer, of Kennett Square, and Mary Ann, wife of B.
F. Wickersham, Sr., of the same borough., were sisters of the deceased.
Throughout the closing years of her life, while an inmate of the houseliold
of the latter, she was tenderly loved and received the gentlest ministrations
of her sister's daughters.

Mr. Wood was of direct English lineage, his father having left the old coun-
try in 1795, and settled in this county. This son was born in Chester in 18 19,
and grew to manhood here, receiving a good common school education. While
still a young man and in love with the occupation of his father, he went to
farming, first in Concord and afterwards in Aston Twp., and became engaged
extensively in agriculture. He also owned and conducted a feed and saw mill.

to knov,' which side held the pkket line. So volunteers were called for to go down and
ascertain if possible how matters stood. All realized the dauiier of such an expedition
and a second call had to be made when a voice responded "I'll go." quickly loUowed by
another. The first speaker proved to be one of tlie youngest men in the garrison, .Tohn
C. Palmer, a mere lad of eighteen. With strict injunctions to observe care and caution
the two, the younger in advance, stole out into the darkness; then followed a few moments
of silence and expectation, when suddenly a single musket shot was heard and a moment
after the second of the two returned with haste and excitement, exclaiming, "They've got
him! They've got him, and the rebs are down there in force.' It seems that they had
advanced tint a short distance beyond the abatis when a .-tern voice said 'Halt.' and at
the same instant a hea^y hand was laid upon the foreino^t man. the second Instantly
comprehended the situation, turned and fled, followed by the shot we heard, ^ut which
iu the darkness missed him. The youthful hero who voluntarily sacrificed himself to
save his comiades never returned to his company. We heard indirectly that he was
taken to a Southern prison pen and after a time exchanged. The writer never looks over
the final muster-roll of Company C, without reading opposite the name John C. Falmer:
•Captured by the enemy at Fort McConihe, November IS. 1SG4,' and recalling the thrill-
ing experience of that eventful night."

Tioga Co., Pa. ; both buried in ^A'ellsboro Cemetery.
He was raised on a farm and inured to all the tribulations of pioneer
life, for in the days of his youth there were ver\- few of the comforts of to-
day obtainable. He attended tnc district school two or three months during
the winter, when he could be spared from work. Upon reaching manhood he
married ]\Iiss Lydia Ann W'heeland and took her to his Tioga county home.
She was an unpretending country girl, handsome but not vain. Her steadi-
ness and firmness of character was the stay of the family all through life.
She was always watchful over her children, but never austere and not opposcfi
to their participation in innocent amusements.
]\Ir. Cox started life as r. farmer, which he followed for eight years,
during which time he cleared, fenced, and cultivated about seventy acres of
land mostly with his own handr. In 1S54 he sold his farm and engaged '"n
the mercantile and lumbering business. This he discontinued during the
Civil \\'ar, but resumed again and continued from June 1865 until 1869,
when he was elected to public office.
He commenced an army record with a commission dated July 18, 1854,
as Brigadier Inspector, with rank of Z\Iajor, and was again commissioned
June 6, 1859, to June 1864. He was instrumental in raising several com-
panies of infantry at the commencement of the Civil War. He was commis-
sioned Major of the 171st Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf. X^'ov. 16, 1862. and saw severe
service in the field in various campaigns, mostly in Virginia. He was commis-
sioned Colonel of the 207th Reg. Pa. \'o!s. Sept. 28. 1S64, and was breveted
Brigadier General April 9, 1865, and mustered out of service }*Iay 31, 1865.
He published an interesting pamphlet of his "recollections of the War."
In the civil line of service he was appointed Postmaster at Liberty, Ti-
oga Co., Pa., April 13, 1869, having previously been elected a Justice of the
Peace in February, 1S62, which office he held for five years.
In 1869 he was elected County Treasurer of Tioga county for three years,
and removed to Wellsboro in 1870. In 1S72 he was elected to the office of
Prothonotary of that county, and re-elected six times thereafter, thus holding
this office seven terms, for tweny-one years.

The following account of his life is taken from the Ottawa, Kansas, Re-
public, Feb. 15, 1902:
"ANOTHER MAN OF MARK GONE.
"Harlen P. Welsh died at 8.15 last night under startling circumstances.
"For a considerable time Mr. Welsh has been in enfeebled condition; it v.-as ap-
parent that he was growing weaker, and for the last few weeks his condition has been
a matter of extreme concern to his friends. He has, however, with the firm dctrrmina-
tlon that has been a dominant force in his character, regularly resorted to his ofifice,
the family carriage and its resolute inmate, driven by the most faithful \^ife. being one
of the most familiar sights on our streets. For several days past Mr. Welsh has be^n
troubled with an accumulation, as or phelgm, that congested in his throat; yesterday
afternoon, in his office, he was seized with a recurrence of this difnculty that was un-
usually severe, and he narrowly escaped strangulation. By advice of Judge Robbins,
who was in the office at the time of the attack, he went to hs home earlier than us^ual.
"Shortly after the supper hour, Mr. Welsh had occasion to repair to the back part
of the residence property. Rarely of late has Mrs. Welsh permitted him to go about
alone, fearing that in his feeble and crippled condition he might receive a fall, but on
this occasion she was temporarily busy, and he had been gone several minutes before
she noted the fact. She immediately followed, and found the unfortunate gentleman
prone upon the ground, unconscious. She immediately dispatched a servant for aid and
telenhoned for Dr. A. H. Wright; neighbors promptly responded, and the oufierer was
conveyed to the house. Dr. Wright arrived almost immediately, and found his patient

in a dying condition; he expired at 8.15. The cause was apoplexy, undoubtedly super-
Induced by an attack of choking, as above described.
"Harlan P. Welsh had but little advantages of education, limited entirely to com-
mon schools in parts of each winter until he was fifteen, when he had the misfortune
to lose his right leg by erysipelas of the bone. He then applied himself the best
he could to acquiring an education, studying nights while working at his trade as tailor.
At the end of the year he obtained a position in a store, and in this way obtained means
to enter a Friends' seminary at Salem, Iowa. In the fall of 'o2, he entered a public
school, and the next summer engaged as a teacher. In 1853 he commenced the study of
faw with Harvey Tannehill. of Centerville, Iowa, walking two and a half miles
and back each day on a crutch. That winter he taught the Centerville school, and for
three years continued, studying law at night.
"In 1854 he was elected county attorney of Appanoose county, and conducted that
office most successfully for two years.
"He came to Franklin county in 185S. making the trip wiih wagon
and three yoke of oxen, with wife and one child, being four weeks on
the road. He had no money, but had laid in provisions for a year.
He sold a yoke of oxen to buy a cooking stove and other household necessities. With
a hired man he cut and hauled logs to a mill at Centropolis, and by the next fall had
a good frame house.
"He was appointed the first district clerk of Franklin, but resigned in a short
time because the duties of the office conflicted with his practice of law.
"The great drouth of 1S60, which, paralyzed business, caused misfortune to come
to Mr. Welsh; he sold his property and retired to a farm. He conducted it three years
and cleared 53,000.
"In 1863 he was unanimously elected journal clerk of the House of Representatives,
and re-elected in 1864.
"He has held county offices many times. In 1865 he was elected county attorney,
holding the office for two years. In 1867 he was a candidate for the state senate, and
was defeated by Dr. A. Wiley after a vigorous contest. In 1S6S he was elected to the
house of representatives by a handsome vote. During his term he was a member of the
judiciary committee and committee on ways and means.
"Mr. W'elsh served as county attorney and also as attorney for the city of Ottawa.
When Ottowa was incorporated as a town, June 18th, 1S66, Mr. Welsh was appointed one
of the trustees, and was elected secretaiT of the board when the city was organized as a
city of the second class. In 1867 Mr. Welsh was elected city attorney. He was elected
mayor in 1869 and re-electd in 1870.
"In 1871 he was nominated by the republicans for representative and elected, and
v.-as chairman of the committee on elections, chairman of the committee on appropria-
tions and a member of the judiciary committee.
"Thereafter for a number of yeai-s Mr. Welsh devoted himself exclusively to the
practice of law, but was again county attorney 3 years from 1805 to 1898.
"He w^as an Odd Fellow for many years, passing all the chairs and was twice a
representatve to the grand lodge.
"Though originally a Methodist, for many of the later years of his life he was very
prominently connected with the Baptist church."
The following proceedings are taken from the Ottawa Herald of T^Iay 2,
1902 : —
"Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late H. P. Welsh were presented at
a meeting of the Franklin county bar in district court room yesterday evening. Before
the acceptance of the resolutions, members of the bar spoke of their relations and acquaint-
ance with Mr. Welsh, The proceeding was given added interest from the fact that the bar
was engaged in doing honor to the memory of its oldest member — to a man who was here at
the beginning of things and who as a lawyer and a citizen, fought his way up through
difficulties few men would have cared to face. It is not often — if indeed it has occurred
at all — that the death of a citizen of this county has called out such expressions of sincere
esteem as were spoken by the attorneys yesterday in reference to the life of H. P. Welsh.
"The resolutions, which were drawn by C. B. Mason and ordered by the court to
be made a part of the court records, are as follows:
"To the Honorable the District Court of Franklin County, Kansas:
"The undersigm^^d, heretofore appointed to prepare some fitting expression
relative to the death of our late brother Hon. Harlan P. Welsh, respectfully sub-
mit the following: That Whereas, the unexpected sudden death of Hon. Harlan P,
2i6 PALMER FAMILY.
Welsh, n member of the bar of this county for o longer period than any living,
at his home in this city on the evening of February 14ih hiM, c;ime as a shock
to the whole commiinity, and especially to those associating with him in the prac-
tice of the law, and
"Whereas, His prominence in the history of Franklin county has been
conspicuous in tlic affairs connected with the develoi.ment and ;>rogrf>ss of our
city and county, since in thi'» year 1S5S he first began his residence in this county
and state, the undersigned as such committee, on behalf of the b ir, present the
following resolutions as a token to the memory of the deceased brother.
"Resolved, first. That in the death of Honorable Harlan P. Welsh, our pro-
fession has bpen deprived of an able and succ*^ssful attn'rc:"'. and individually
■we shall miss him from our ranks as a respected friend, whose career for more than
forty-three years made his life a term longer than the exi'^tence of city or state,
and we are stricken with profound sorrov.-. that he is no longer with us in this
life.
"Resolved, second. That as an intelligent citizen he served his city, county
and state in many important official positions with great credit to himself, and
benefit to the public welfare during his life, and considering his crippled physical
condition, but indominable mental energy in all matters enlisting his service.
he was a remarkable and valuable member of this community.
"Resolved, third, That we synipatliize with his bereaved family in the loss
of husband and father, and with all cur people, we sincerely regret, by his death,
we have lost a christian citizen and gentleman from our midst.
"Resolved, fourth, That a copy of these sentiments be placed upon the rec-
ord of this court, and that the clerk of this court be directed to transmit to the
widow of the deceased a copy of the same.

The following obituary or eulogy on the death of Dr. William Hamilton
Pyle was published in Kaufman. Te.xas, Star, his death having occurred on
the night of Feb. 9, 1891, as the clock struck 12 midnight.
"DR V/. H. PYLE IS DEAD."
"This announcement carried sadness and sorrow into the homes of all Kaufman
Tuesday morning. Over a year ago death set his seal upon this distinguished man and
slowly but surely bore him down to the grave. Monday night the &th inst. as the clocii
struck twelve, his spirit pas.'^ed away as he lisped a prayer to the God of all. He was
conscious until the last, and as the death damp gathered upon his brow, he knew his
suiTeriug would soon be over and he would soon be "'gathered to his fathers. ' In the
death of this man and that of Capt. Z. T. Adams, Kaufman has lost her truest and most
steadfast friends. The hour was never too hot nor too cold, or the sacrifice too great for
them to serve their friends and their beloved town. Strong alike in brain force and power;
strong alike in likes; strong alike in passion and temperaments; strong alike in love
and hatred; strong alike in suffering and endurance, they yielded alike to the rame dread
disease, and were followed to the grave by the whole town, honored and injavned as
only true friends are honored and mourned. Dr. Pylc, like all the race of man, had his
faults, but he had more virtues. Possessing a mind of rare culture and power, when he
arrived at a decision he adhered to it with knightly courage and stoic firmness.
"Coming to Kaufman in his early manhood from Ohio, his native state, he began
the practice of medicine. His culture, refinement and ability as a physician soon won
the confidence, respect and esteem of all. After the war he was sent to the Texas
Senate, where his ability was recognized among the ablest men of the State. He was
a fine speaker, a brilliant writer and a gifted conversationalist. As a Senator he had

no superior and but few peers. In all Kaufman's contests he was the recognized nrain
power behind the throne. Had he cho.sen and co comported him.-elf he could have Qll^-d
the highest positions in the gift of our people. Whatever he undertook, he did it with
all his power, and that meant success. There was no neutrality or hypocrisy in his
nature, he was for you or against you. If he was for you his ponderous influence was
felt and dreaded. He was untiring in his zeal, cautious in his counsel and unerrin? In
his judgment. As friend he was true, loyal and zealous; a.> a father, generous, kind 2nd
gentle; as a husband, devoted, tender and true; as a sinner tlie devil's best friend, and
as a Christian consecrated, God-fearing and faithful. For long years he was an agnostic.
but respectful to ministers and Christians. Over a year ago under the preaching of Dr.
W. O. Bailey he was convinced of his errors and deeply convicted of his sins. To dispel
the deep impressions made upon his conscious nature he quit attending the revival ser-
vices held by Dr. Bailey, but when he was stricken down with the disease th^t finally
carried him to the grave, he yielded to the promptings of his nobler nature and with the
death-like pallor stamped on his features he was baptized into the Baptist church, and
we trust into Jesus. From that hour he was as jealous as a Peter, as loving as a Tohn,
and as faithful unto death as a Paul. Peace be unto his ashes, rest unto his soul and
love that passeth all understanding unto his bereaved wife, who stands like a broken
reed on the border of time. May God in his mercy comfort and bless her and her house-
hold."

SIXTH GENERATION. 219
The follovviiig are extracts iwjin the eulogy sp<jken at his iuueral by liis
former Commander, Col. J. T. Ilohnes: —
"It Is nearlj- fifty years since I first touched the hp.nds and brushed hearts -with
Captain Rothacker, and when the nies;:-age came that his earthly career was ended it
seemed to me that I must attend the last scene of all and lay upon his ca>kot and twine
about his memory a bri^^f tribute. God gave him length of days, beyond the allotted
span of three score years and ten, and they were years and days of a bu.~y and a dis-
tinguished life. Here let me note the climax in his military career. It Wits at Kenesaw.
Some of you have seen the ridge do%\Ti from which he charged and t!.t upwjrd slope
from the little creek to the Confederate works, six hundred yards in all. Of the five
thousand men who started down the slope on the charge fifteen hundred went down in
fifteen minutes. It was a harvest of death. It is natural that our three years in that
fierce and bloody struggle should be impressed upon the minds of participants as no
such term of years could be impressed by the ordinary phrases and experi-^nces of civil
life. Many of us care free in bounding youth with few responsibilities and no depend-
ents could confront the duties and dangers of those times with light hearts. The young
wife with little ones clinging to her knees, who gave up husband, closed her doors to
weep in silence as he marched away and then alone faced the future and the
dread of coming days for three long years, displayed a heroism equaling that of the
soldier whether in camp or action. Vv'hen thinking and talking of the sacrifices, the
suffering and the trials of war we should never overlook the matchless class to which
Mrs. Rothacker belonged.
"The capabilities of Dr. Rothacker in and out of his profession were equal to
every task and demand that came to him in war and peace for more than sixty years.
Of high intelligence and talents and principles, a commanding presence, an equable
spirit, gentle manner, a just man, in all relations of life, professional, social, domestic,
political and religious he deserved and was accorded the unalloyed esteem of his fellow
men. What shall I say more? The world is better for his having lived in it and hia
death illumines his life."

LOST IN A WOODS.
A Doe Run Boy Wandered About All Day and One Night.
A fifteen-year-old son of Dr. R. E. Palmer, of Doe Run, had a terrible expeii-
ence in a woods near Laurel a few days ago and all one night and the next day a
searching party scoured the country in search of him.
The lad went into the woods, which is near his home, in the afternoon, for the pur-
pose of cutting some canes and while there become so bewilderd that he did not
know which direction to turn In order to reach his home. While he was wandering
about the forest rain commenced to fall and darkness overtook him, but he walked
about all night through the trees. A searching party was formed by the men of the
nei<;hborhood and they searched the woo<ls all night in vain. The next day the search
was resumed, but it was not until noon that the lad was found. He was then almost
overcome with fatigue and hunger. He had kept up his wanderings about the woods
until the time when he was found, but was so completely lost that he did not know
where he was when the party found him.
Note. — Dr. Jesse Young was a son of Andrew Young, who came to this country
from Ireland and m. Ann Griswell; Dr. Jesse Young was eminent in his profession and
practiced during a long life near Chester, Pg,. His wife was a dau. of Abner and Phebe

brother, Jared, estabhshed a crer.mery.
The following notices are taken from the press notices after the time of his
death : —
CHARLES P. DARLINGTON.
Hi.s father dying when he was about fifteen years of age. deceased assumed charge
of a largo farm and dair>' near Darline;, Dela^vare county, on which his father had lived
and died of the same disease as hi? sou, typhoid fever. At a later age the deceased stud-
led at Swarthmorc: subsequently law, but abandoned it to look after pressing interests
on the farm near Darling, on which his mother and children yet resided. At a later
period he had a creamery built at Chadd's Ford, since which time he has lived there.
He manufactured butter at this place of such an excellent quality as to bring him pa-
tronage from New York, Washington, Baltimore and other distant points. He was a
prominent member of the Creamery Association, and was very earnest in advocacy of
its cause. His wife and four sons survive him. He was very ambitious and industri- ■
ous, and it is thought by his many frienda that the fever from which he died was
superinduced by over-work and anxiety connected with his business ramifications.
RESOLUTIONS OF REGRET.
At a me€ting of Upper Birmingham Lodge. No. 010. I. 0. 0. F., held August
llth, 1894, these resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The great and supreme Ruler of the universe, has in His infinite
wisdom, removed from among us our worthy and esteemed brother, Charles P. Dar-
lington; therefore,
Resolved, That the sudden removal of such a life from amongst our midst leaves
a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends
of this organization, and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved family of the deceased
we express our hope, that even so great a loss to them may be overruled for good b>
Him who doeth all things well.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this
lodge, a copy printed in the DAILY LOCAL NEWS, and a copy forwarded to the
bereaved family.

was the champion and to him will be awarded at Commencement time the gold medal
which has been given for many years by D. Webster Meredith, of New York, a former
High School boy.
Allen Darlington spoke the eloquent plea of Robert Eminett in his appeal against
sentence of death as a traitor, giving well the fearless defiance of the injustice which

IN MEMORIAM.
Mary D. Palmer, Jan. 22, 1892.
How fle«t the years of measured being run, —
The gracious years of beauty, fair and sweet;
But who shall say thy life was incomplete.
Though end and purpose seem to us unwon?
How can we know when any task is done?
We walk in twilight, full of doubts and fears.
And oft our eyes ai'e blinded with our tears,
And we heed not the glory of the sun-..
. , Sweet peace to thee, O friend, immortal grown,
The morning brings, whose glory has begun
In soundless dawn above our shadow-landl
Why life should fail with budded hopes unblown,
Or fairest lilies perish one by one,
Perchance hei-eafter we shall understand.

that the left icot would be amputated, but the suigeons upon assembling' about his
cot, decided that he v,-as not strong- enough to undergo the ordeal, and the operation
was postponed. He grew weaker, suffering greatly until the end.
Mr. Sharpless was boiii in We-t Goshen, remained on the farm until he was
well grown, and then went to Minneapolis, where he made his home with an uncle
and attended school during a period of about four years. Returning east he remained
here farming and following other occupations, until his accident. For several years

ance which gave hope to her family and friends that she would be spared for some
years, even though recovery seemed remote. Her father was engaged in mercantile

1840; d. Aug. 22, 1907, at Eaton, O. ; bur. at Mound Hill.
The following; is from an obituary, at the time of his death : —
On the 9th of ^^aroh, 1S40. in Eldridge Hill, New Jersey, was born Clarkcon Jen-
nings, the only sou of I.evi and Hannah Jennings. At the age of eleven he sufterc-d
the loss of his mother, and grew up the idolized companion of his father, at whose side
he learned the trade of a mason. Later he became the support of his aged father and
two younger sisters.
He early prepared himself for the work of a teacher, and was engaged in that
profession when the Civil War called him to offer his service to his country. That call
he answered and therewith came the loss of his health and the change in the course of
his life to farming.
Returning from the war, he married Margaret Silver, the sister of his college
friend, and a few years after moved to Preble county, Ohio, where his subsequent life
has been spent. The family circle consisting of parents and four children was unbroken
to the time of his death.
By birthright he was a member of the Friends' ciuirch, and he always adhered
to her teachings, beli'?ving in the guidance of the spirit and forum of the conscience.
His life portrayed the Quaker traits that his ancestry bequeathed him. Reticent
and unassuming, but kindly and thoughtful. Pie cared nothing for outward show, but
everything for inner worth.
His was a peaceable disposition and many times has he suitered personal wrong
rather than provoke contention by opposing it, nor did he like others wronged. A
maxim which he always held before himself and family was, "There is good in all
but none are all good."
He had a well informed mind and was a great reader, when not working he was
always found with book or paper.
Not great as the world knows greatness, but good. His life was lived solely for
those about him, and thus it was that every task he undertook, however humble, re-
ceived the same careful attention that might have been expected in affairs of state.
Not widely known but loved by the few who knew hira well. And if there be
anything of value in the example of a simple life well lived, the example of high
ideals in a humble spirit, of thinking much and saying little, of giving much and asking
little, then Clarkson Jennings has not lived in vain, for there be those whose lives are
far better for it. His life v.'as gentle and the elements so mixed in him that nature might
Btand up and say to all the world, "this was a man."
His widow and daughter continue at the home on Wadsworth St., Eaton.

The following- is an accoui:i" of his career to the time of publishing this
genealogy- :
HON. GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN.
Believers In the influence of heredity will find much to support their claims in
the ancesti-al record of the Governor of Oregon, Hon. Geoi-ge Earl ChamberlaiiL The
qualities that have given him an eminent position in the public life of the Northwest
are his by inheritance from a long line of capable, scholarly and influential ance-stors.
The family of which he is a member, came from England at an early period in American
historj' and settled among the pioneers of Pennsylvania. His grandfather, Dr. Joseph
Chamberlain, a native of Delaware was one of the distinguished physicians at Newark,
that state. The lady whom he married also came of a prominent pioneer family. Her
uncle, Charles Thompson, who served as secretary of the Continental Congress from
1774 to 1789, was born in Ireland, of Scotch lineage, November 29th, 1729. Accompan-
ied by three sisters he settled at New Cajstle. Del., in 1741, and there became a teacher
in the Friends' .\cademy. In 1758 he was one of the agents appointed to treat with
the Indians at Oswego, and while there was adopted by the Delawares, who conferred
upon him an Indian name meaning "One who speaks with truth." The possessor of lit-
erary ability, he left his imprint upon the literature of his age through his "Harmony
of the Five Gospels," a translation of the Old and New Testaments, and an Inquiry Into

the cause of the alienation of the Delaware and Shawneee Indians. His private file of
letters containing communications written to him while secretary of the Continental
Congress and before that time, is among the most valued possessions of Governor
Chamberlain, and contains letters from all the loading men of that day.
In the family of Dr. Joseph Chamberlain was a son, Charles Thomson Chamberlain,
a native of Newark, Del., and a graduate of Jeflerson Medical Collf^ge at Philadelphia. After
receiving the degree of M. D., he settled In Natchez. Miss., in 1S37, as ogering a favor-
able opening for a professional man. During the years that followed, he built up a
large practice and established an enviable reputation for skill in the diagnosis and
treatment of disease. An evidence of his kindly spirit of devotion to duty and self-sacri-
ficing labors for others is shown by his record during the yellow fever epidemic of IS?].
At that time, when many physicians felt justified in considering their own health, he
attended patients night and day, without thought of self, until at last he was stricken
with the disease and soon died.
The wife of Dr. Charles T. Chamberlain was Pamelia H .Archer, a native of
Harford county, Md., and now a resident of Natchez, Miss. Her father, Hon. Stevenson
Archer, was born in Harford county, and graduated from Princeton College, lb05, after
whlch he became an attorney. He served in Congress from ISll to 1S17 from Maryland,
and in the latter year accepted an appointment from Mississippi Territory- with guber-
natorial powers, and resigned later. From 1S19 to 1S21 he again represented his district
In Congress where he was a member of the committee on foreign affaii-s. In 1S25 he
was elected one of the justices of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, which office he
held until his death in 1S48, at which tim.e he was chief justice. His father, John
Archer, M. D., was a n?.tive of Harford county. Md., born in 1741. After graduating
at Princeton in 1760, he studied for the ministry, but throat trouble rendering pulpit
work inadvisable, he turned his attention to medicine. The first medical diploma ever
issued in the new world was given to him by the Philadelphia :\Tedical College. In 177S
he was elected a member of the convention which framed the Constitution and Bill of
Rights of Maryland. At the commencement of the Revolutionary War, he had com-
mand of a military company, the first enrolled in Harford county, and was a member of
the State Legislature. After the war he practiced his profession and several important
discoveries in therapeutics are credited to him. In 1797 he was a presiedntial elector and
from 1801 to 1S07 was a member of C<)ngress from Maryland. His death occurred in
1810. The Archer family is of Scotch-Irish descent and was represented among the
earliest settlers of Harford county, where for generations htey wielded wide influence.
It is worthy of record that the portrait of Hon. Stevenson Archer appears among those
of distinguished men of Maryland placed in the new courthouse in Baltimore, that
state, and also adorns the courthouse in his native county.
In a family of five children, Hon. George Earle Chamberlain was third in order of
birth. His name comes to him from an uncle. George Earle. who who one of the noted
men of Maryland, and assistant postmaster general of the Uiiited States during General
Grant's term as President. In his native city of Natchez, Miss., he received such ad-
■ vantages as the public schools afforded. On leaving school in 1S70, he clerked in a mer-
cantile store. Two years later, entering college at Lexington, Va., he took the regular
course of study in the Washington and Lee Univei-sity. from which he was graduated
in July of 1876, with the degrees of A. B. and B. L. Shortly after his graduation he
returned to Natchez, where he remained until after the presidential election. How-
ever, prospects for success in the south were not encouraging at that time, and he de-
termined to seek a more favorable opening. V.'irh this purpose in view he came to Ore-
gon, which has been his home since his arrival December 6th, 1S76. Early in 1S77 he
taught a country school and in the latter part of the year was appointed deputy clerk
of Linn County, which position he held until the summer of 1S79. During 1880 he was
elected to the lower house of the legislature and in 18S4 became district attorney for
the third judicial district of Oregon. In the discharge of the duties of these various
offices he gave satisfaction to all concerned, evincing wide professional knowledge and
resourcefulness. His talents being recognized by the governor, he vx-as given the
appointment of attorney-general of Oregon on the creation of that office by act of legis-
lature in 1891, his appointment bearing date of May 21, 1891. For a short time before
this he had been interested in the banking business at Albany, being connected first with
the First National Bank, and later with the Linn County National Bank.
At the general election following his appointment, he was elected attorney-general
on the Democratc ticket, receiving a majority of about five hundred, notwithstanding
the fact that the Republican majority in Oregon at that time v,-as about ten thousand.
In 1900, he was elected district attorney of Multnomah county by a majority of eleven
hundred and sixty-two, the county being then about four thousand Republican. The
highest honor of his life came to him, unsolicited in 1902, when the E>emocrats nom-
'CO
322 PALMER FAMILY
inated him for governor by acclamation. In the election that followed he received a
majority of two hundred and fifty-six over the Ropublican candidate, although on the
congressional vote the stale at the time was nearly fifteen thousand Republican. In
1906 ho was again nominated by his party for Governor, and was re-elected by a ma-
jority of twenty five hundied o\er his opponent, being the only Democrat elected.
These figures are indicative of his popularity, not only with his own party, but
with the general public. Among his large circle of friends and admirers are many who.
though of different political faith, have yet such a warm regard for the man himself
and such a firm faith in his ability to guide aright the ship of state, that many thousand
votes were given him by people accustomed to vote another ticket than his own. It is
dou"btful if any public man possesses greater sireneth among the people of the state.
Through the long period of his residence heie, he has won and maintained the con-
fidence of the people, and his upright life, combined with unusual mental gifts, has
given him his present prominence and prestige.
In Natchez, Miss., Mr. Chamberlain married Miss Sally N. Welch, who was born
near that city, a descendant of an old Revolutionary family from New England. Her
father, A. T. Welch, a native of New Hampshire, was a large planter near Natchez, the
possessor of abundant means that rendei-ed possible the giving of valuable educational
advantages to his children. Mrs. Chamberlain was graduated from the Natchez Institute
and is a lady of culture and refinement, an active member of the Calvary Presbyterian
Church and also a member of the Eastern Star.
The Commercial Club, of Portland. Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, University
Club and Oregon State Historical Society, numljer Governor Chamberlain among their
members. A life member of the Benevolent and Piotective Order of Elks in Portland,

been devoted to the lofty principles of that order. His initial experience with Masonry

On January 19, 1909, the State legislature, which was Republican, elected him to
succeed the Hnn. C. W. Fulton in the United States Senate. Governor Chamberlain's
election to the Senate was one of the great anomalies of American politics, the people
having chosen him by direct vote and the Republican legislature being compelled to
elect him instead of a man of their own faith. It marked the triumph of the direct
vote by the people for the office of United States Senator.
It was also a great tribute to his personal popularity in the State, he having re-
ceiv d thousands of votes from those not affiliated with the Democratic party.
In the Senate, Senator Chamberlain has been named on the following committees:
The Committees on Agriculture and Forestry, Expenditures in the Interior Departm.ent.
Irrigation and Reclamation of Arid Lands. Pacific railroads, Philippines, Printing and
Public Lands.

The announcement of the appointment of Henrietta Josephine Meeteer to suc-
ceed Dean Elizabeth Bond, of Swarthmore College, was made yesterday. Dean Bond
tendered her resignation to the Board of Managei-s last fall, to take effect at the end
of the present year.
Miss Meeteer's home is in Camden, N. J., and she comes from a Friend's family.
She comploted the teacher's course at the University of Pennsylvania during the years
189C-1900, and later took a special course in Latin in the graduate department. In the
fall of 1901, Miss Meeteer was appointed to the Frances Sargent Pepper Fellowship in
classical language at the University of Pennsylvania, which honor she held for three
successive years, receiving the degiee of Doctor of Philosophy in June, 1904.
Dr. Meeteer began her work as teacher in 1887. She taught in well-kno^-n
preparatory schools in Philadelphia. In the fall of 1904, she was appointed Dean of
Women in the University of Colorado, from which position she comes to Swarthmore.
In Colorado, Miss Meeteer originated and has put into operation a system of unification
among the girls of the university. So successful and practical has this system become,
that she is now able to turn over to her successor the direction of the work without im-
Miss Meeteer will begin her duties at Swarthmore next fall, well prepared for
the work that is before her. In addition to her services as dean, she will teich two
or three courses in the department of Latin and Greek. With her scholarship repre-
sented by her work at the University of Pennsylvania, her experience as teacher in
secondary schools and in a university; with a love for and faith in young people. Miss
Meeteer combines the qualities and attainments desired in the women chosen to
direct, the moral, intellectual, and social life of the young women of Swarthmore Col-
lege.

The Peacemaker, of Nov., 1910, tlie following testimony is taken:— "His bpneticent
expression Is an index to his character — the purest treasure mortal times afford is spot-
less reputation. For many years as one of our vice presidents, he was with his wife
always ready and willing to promote the inteiest of our cause — his devotion to public
and private philanthropic work was conspicuous. He had secured an enviable position
in business as a manufacturer and was iionoied with several positions of trust. He
served the "Grandon Trust," which dispenses coal to the poor, was a director of the
Friends' Charity Fuel Association, treasuier of the Quaker City Div., Sons of Temper-
ance, and for a time president of the Fifteenth Ward Organized Charities, but his
presidency of the Friends' Home for Children in West Philadelphia was where he
seemed to be in his truest element. As a member of the Religious Society of Friends
and an elder of Race Street Monthly Meeting, he was attentive to all its i-equirements.
and secured the aifection and confidence of his friends. When we can find such a
consistent example of true living, such a model of real home life, with all its sacred
obligation.^ and responsibilities, it is at once a legacy to our age and a tiibute to the
conditions that make for true peace.

IN MEMORIAM
At a special meeting of the Board of Managers of the Friends' Home for Children
held at the residence of George D. Miller on Sixth-day evening, Seventh month first,
1910, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
The veil of death has been drawn between us and our friend and beloved asso-
ciate, Alben T. Eavenson, and it is emineuily fitting that we should in some manner
record our appreciation of his faithful and efficient service rendered to the manage-
ment of the "Friends" Home for Children," a work in which he ever manifested a
fatherly interest in all that pertains not only to the material interests of the children at
the Home, but to their moral and religious training as well. Through his efforts many
a lonely and neglected child has been afforded comforts, conveniences and instruction.
Wise in counsel, generous in contribution, charitable in judgment, quickly responsive
to every call of duty, he has left to us an example of fidelity and loving devotion which
we may well emulate; and while we consider it a duty and a pleasure to record our
estimate of our departed friend, nevertheless the parting is a source of profound sorrow.
Long and lovingly will his associates cherish his memory and the beneficaries of his bounty
^\^ll call him blessed. He wrought well and having gone to his reward, now rests from
his labors. Of such the Master says, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these,
my brethren, ye did it unto me. Well, done, good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord." Blessed service, blessed reward.
May his exemplary life influence us to greater devotion to the cause which he
so generously supported.
To the bereaved and sorrowing family of our departed friend and co-worker we
extend our sincere and htcartfelt sympathy.

Eood works in which she was deeply interested. Her voice was often heard in religious
assemblies, briefly and earnestly bearing testimony to the love of our Heavenly Father:
and especially will the hundreds of school children miss her pleasant smile and
cheerful voice. Her chosen calling of physician was not neglected because of the
numerous public interests claiming her attention. The breadth and scope of her activi-
ties seemed to embrace all human ne^ds and the touch of her hand helped to bring
healing and comfort; so that her presence was a well spring of joy."

He lost his life by being burned with coal oil or something similar. A
neighbor of his parents was experimenting with oil. endeavoring to invent a
non-explosive burning fluid. Pie poured some of his compound into a crock
and took a light to see if it was full ; wlien the fire came near, the gas from
the substance took fire and ig-nited the v.hole mass. The man undertook t'^
throw^ it out, but failed. Henry O. came in the back way, and the door being
opened front, rushed into and through the fire, kicking it out of the house. In
doing this some of the oil got on him, burning his legs and arms badly, but
the fatality ensued from inhaling the flame. He survived for forty-two hours
in great suffering.

J. Erskiiif Baldwin, aged 27 years, son of Hon. Richard J. Baldwin, of Chadd's
Koid. was inst.-'iitly killed early last evening, at the plant of the Burmont Chemical
romiKiny, in Upp^r Darby Township, when a large number of blasting torpedoes,
whJch h2d jut b^'vn manufactured, exploded. The young man's body hurled through
tb<' air \>y the force of the explosion for a distance of 70 feet, was badly mangled.
lK*5Mity Coroner Drewos, of Darby, was notified and took charge of the remains, con-
veying them to the morgue pending an investigation by Coroner Carr.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery. Fortunately at the time, none of the
other employes of the company were in or near the buildings, else the casualties
vould have been greater. It was young Baldwin's duty, after the workmen had
i..a.!c- up the toip-does. to mark the employes' time on the various boxes containing the
LUh t-xplosives. :;nd it was while engaged in this duty that he met his death.

"Alfonzo Morris, a prominent resident of Gradyville, Delaware county, met

"Mr. Morris was a carriage builder at nrH(ivvil1e, and one of the most promi-
nent residents of that place. Last week he went over to New York to attend a large

pnlo cf carriages and other supplies in this line which was to continue all week. He
tc>ok alons a large amount of cash with which to make purchases and took up his
quarters in a loom in a hotel near the place where the sale was to be held. Ho
Rttcnded the sale for a coiiple of days and made a number of purchases.
•'On Friday evening the visitor retired to his room in his hotel. In the room was a
gas burner bfside a window and he pulled the end of the burner over until it was
In front of the window, after which he turned the light down and retired, it being his
custom to always have a light in his room. A small portion of glass was broken
from the window at a point exactly opposite the gas jet and during the night a wind
storm arose. The wind blowing through the aperture extinguished the fl<Tme and the
pas flowed into the room. Nothing was known of this by the other lodgers or the
people of the house and it was noon when a chambermaid went to the room and dc-
t'<-tod the odor of gas. The door was openinj and Mr. Morris found on the bed uncon-
scious. He was given the best of treatment, but all efforts to resuscitate him failed,
and his death occurred in a short time.
"He was a prominent member of Westmont I.odge. Knights of Pythias, and
Tamaued Tribe Red Men. The body was taken to his late home, where his funeral took
place, the organizations of which he was a member attending in a body.
He was buried along side of his first wife in Cumberland Cemetery.

They reside at Corner Church and Chestnut Sts., W'est Chester, Pa. No
children.
The following is taken from a published account of his life:
"He was born in West Whiteland Township. Chester Co., Pa., and was educated
in the public schools and at Abbington. Berwick and Wyoming Seminary. At the
age of 18 he entered the Vulcan Iron Works and remained 3 years, becoming a prac-
tical mechanicjl engineer. After one year with the New York and Erie R. R. he went
In 18r.9 to Alabama and was successfully engaged in the iron industry until early
in 1860, when the signs of impending war impelled him to hasten home.
'"When the war bioke out he was the eldest of four brothers, who. led by their
father joined a battalion of 200 men, raised by the senior McCauley in Susquehanna
county in the latter part of April, 1S61. On account of age, Governor Curtin refused
to commigslon the elder McCauley, upon which his son Levi left that battalion and
joined a company of men at Wilkesbarre. which had been recruited by Colonel E. B.
Harvey. This company afterward became Company F, of the Seventh Regiment.
Reserve Volunteer Corps.
"Colonel E. B. Harvey, under whom Major McCauley had served, in a letter
to the 'American Republican,' said:
" 'lyevi McCauley was one of the best and most trustworthy and reliable men
•n my regiment. His devotion and fidelity to the cause and to duty secured him
early promotion from a private to a captain. At Drainville he was specially noted
X !

for his firmnpss and determination and success as a commanding ofTicer, performing
duties many others shrank from. At Mechauicsvillo. battle of the sfven days' fighting
around Richmond, Captain McCauley and Captain King were specially directed to guard
a fordway across Chiokahoniiny, and at the extreme left of the battle line. Twice
they repelled a rebel effort to cross the stream. So successfully and well done wer?
the acts that General McCall personally desired to thank McCaul'^y and King for
saving the battle that day to our forces at that point.
" 'At Gaines Hill battle on the next day, while Captain McCauley's company
was decimated, he kept his men in order and steadily at work.
" 'At Charles City cross roads, on June 30, 1S62, after the conflict became con-
fused, and disorder and disorganization seemed to prevail, I ordered Captain McCauley
to support a battery while other companies gave attention to a flanking party. The
rebels charged on the battery. McCauley repelled them. The attack was renewed
and the guns taken. McCauley rallied his men, and with others ord-n-ed to his ai'l,
he retook the guns after a hand to hand fight over them, and he had lost his right
arm, the elbow having been shattered by a rifle ball.
" 'The victory was his. The guns and ammunition were removed from the field.
McCauley had his right arm amputated, and was taken prisoner that night.
"After his capture by the rebels, McCauley was taken to Libby Prison, where he
•vv'as compelled to sit around on the edge of a cot and wait until another I'nion prisoner
died to make i-oom for him. He was subsequently paroled and sent to David's Island
Hospital in New York harbor, where he remained until November, and was then
ordered to report for duty at Harrisburg on recruiting service. He rejoined his regi-
ment, notwithstanding his maimed condition, in January, 1S63. He was promoted
to captain of his company in the February follo-^ing, and did duty with his regiment
and company until December, 1863. when he was transferred to the Veteran Reserve
Corps, being finally honorably discharged January 30th, 1S66, the reason — service no
longer required."
"Al'ter the war he was brevetted Major of United States Volunteers for 'gallant
and meritorious services during the war.' In 1S67-6S he was assistant Sersreant-at-Arms
of the Pennsylvania Senate. In 1869 he was elected Register of Wills of Chester
Co., Pa., and served three years. In 1873 he became general manager of the West
Chester Gas Company. He is also a trustee of the State Normal School of this place
and president of the board for many years, which position he still holds. He is
actively identified with the Good Will Fire Company and Farmers' National Bank of
West Chester, Pa. In 1897 he was elected Auditor General of Pennsylvania, which
office he filled with conspicuous ability. He was one of the early members of McCall
Post, No. 31, G. A. R., of which he is a past commander, and in 1902 was elected
commander of the department of Pennsylvania, being continued therein until the pres-
ent time, and is warmly devoted to the highest interest of the order. He has exerted
himself most zealously in behalf of the Soldier's Orphans Commission, of which body
he is vice president. In 1910 he was appointed U. S. Pension Agent with offices in
Philadelphia, Pa.

"One of the city's old business houses, conducted by the same family for nearly
seventy-five years, that of William B. Currey. at 20S Chestnut St,, has passed into
history. The contents of this old place were sold Friday.
"This business of selling notions and men's furnishings was established in 1S31
by the late William Currey, who died on the 29th of Nov., 1S90, in his eighty-fifth
year. He was born of English parentage and came to the state of New Jersey when
he was about twelve years old. His father was a Life Guard of King George IV. of
England. He was six feet four inches in height and fought in the battle of Waterloo.
Mrs.. Ellen R. Currey. his great granddaughter, of 3344 Walnut St., has two pistols
found on that battlefield.
"After his death his son William B. Currey, who is now retiring, took his place.
He has been in the store for almost fifty-four years and doing business under his own
name for sixteen years. When asked if he was sorry to leave the old store, he said:
*I am glad and I am sorry, but I want the rest.' "

The following obituary is taken from '"The Evangelist":
"The Rev. Lewis Pyle Mercer died at his home in Cincinnati suddenly on July
6, 1905, of angina pectoris. He was bom at Kennett Square, Chester, Co., Pa., June
27, 1847. His father and mother were highly re-pected Quakers. He was educated
in the common schools, the Chester Co. Normal School. Taylor's Scientiflc and Classical
Academy and the Theological Sciiool of the New Jerusalem Church, now at Cambridz'^.
Mass. He commenced his ministry' in the New Church in Cleveland, O., In 1S70. He
was ordained in 1872, and accepted the pastorate of the Derroit Society of the New
Jerusalem, continuing there until April 1S77, wh;-n he entered upon the pastorate of
the newly-formed Union Swedenborgian Church of Chicago. In this pastorate he was

very successful. On Nov. 6th, 1881, this church became united with the parent society —
the Chicago Society of the New Jerusalem — on which date was held the first service in
the Van Buren Street Temple, located where now stands Steinway Hall. From that
time Mr. Mercer was pastor of the united and happy church. Very soon following,
he was elected Presiding Minister of the Illinois Association, which office he filled
unfil he left the state in 1901.
"In 1S94, on the division of the Chicago Society of the New Jerusalem into
four parishes, he became pastor of Kenwood church, Berkeley Ave. and Forty-second
Place.
"In 1901 ho accepted a call to the Cincinnati Society of the New Jerusalem and
soon became General Pastor of the New Church over the Ohio Association. He was
elected President of the Urbana, O., University of the New Church in 1905.
"To the wide circle of those who knew and loved him through personal contact,
his death will be the apparent sundering of a tie of sweet friendship and companion-
ship and the still wider circle of those who have profited from his admirable contribu-
tions to our church literature, the sudden hushing of his voice and the resting of his
pen will come with a sense of personal and individual loss.
"Among the younger in years of our General Pastors, he possessed the wisdom
of wide experience, a tested devotion and trained ability in meeting the needs of men
such as few officials attain; and especially in the wide field of the Western States,
where for years he succeeded the late Dr. Hibbard as General Pastor of the West, there
will be a sudden feeling of temporary orphanage in his being taken away.
"The zeal and devotion with which Mr. Mercer assumed the duty of president of
Urbana University, and the intelligence and skillful enterprise sho-wn in the conduct
of its affairs during the past two years are known to all interested in this important
New Church educational institution.
"Joyous in his ov.n nature, he would impart joy to all in every sphere of useful
work. It will be hard to recall a word of bitterness or unkindness spoken by him
of others and even harder to remember or think of any one's cherishing a hard or
unkind feeling toward him.
"Outside of his own denomination he will probably be best recognized and re-
membered by the active and prominent part he took as one of the general committee
for promoting and carrying on the Parliament of Religion during the Columbian Ex-
position at Chicago in 1S93, and for the scholarly exposition of the faith of the church
of his choice."

"It is with sorrovr that we are called upon to announce the death of our late
President, Mary P. Satterthwaite. Her fidelity to the cause of equal suffrage was
unswerving, and her interest in the society continued as long as she was able to hear
the reports of our meetings. Modest and unassuming in deportment, she was brave in
the defence of what she believed to be just and right, and was ever desirous that we
should preserve the dignity and honesty of true womanhood. While we sadly feel our
loss, we have the assurance that she who was faithful in this life will not fail of the
reward in the life to come.

She was born and died at Baker City, Ore. She had visited her relatives
in Pennsylvania a few years before her death, in company with her father.
The following is taken from an obituar\' at the time of her death :
"At 3.30 Sunday afternoon, when all nature seemed to smile on the universe,
Miss Eth^l Palmer answered the call of her maker and passed beyond the mysterious
Vale. Had we never seen more than the lily bulb could we imagine the beauty of the
Illy that it produces? Or if we had never seen more than the seed of the rose could we

think it possible for the earth to develop a thing of such beauty? And so it must be
in the giowth in the life to come from the germ God has placed in the human body for
development into the glorious beauties of a new life.
"Ethel PolniPr has simrly passed from whatever boauty she had in this life to
a much more beautiful existence as is th>^ lily more beautiful than the bulb. But death
Is a separation, and hard to bear. She knew the great messenger was near at hand and
ere he had said the last word of command she called her father, whose helpmeet she
had been, to her side, and putting her arras about his neck she passed from here to
yonder in his great, kindly arms.
"About a year ago she underwent an operation at Portland, since which time she
has never fully recovered and at the time of her death she was undergoing treatment
at Radium Springs. When five years of age her mother diod. but po.ssessed with a dome.s-
tic disposition that made her a home girl she has been the comfort of her father all
these years. She was 26 years and one month old at the time of her demise. The fun-
eral will take place from the family residence, being under the charge of Rev. J. N.
Barry. The Daughters of Rebekah, No. 8, will attend in a body."

The account of the unfortunate accident which terminated fatally is from
"The Chester Times." of Aug. 27, 1897:
"Amor N. PTall, who was injured while riding a tandem bicycle on the Chester pike
on Wednesday evening, died at his home at Glenolden last night.
"At the time of the accident which resulted fatally to Amor, he was riding a tan-
dem bicycle in company with Charles Fellows, on Wednesday night, when they collided
with a milk wagon. The shaft of the wagon struck Mr. Hall with terrific force in the
stomach. He was promptly carried into Mr. James' house, and Dr. Webb was called.
There was thought to be a chance of recovery for Mr. Hall, but he gradually grew worse.
"Mr. Fellows, the other rider, was not much hurt. The young men said they
did not see the approaching milk wagon, but they did not blame the driver as they were
on the wrong side of the road."
"The young man's injuries were chiefly of an internal nature and he suffered
much. Twenty-six hours elapsed between the accident and his death and during part of
the time Mr. Hall was delirious. He realized, almost from the first, that his days were
numbered, and his cheerful resignation was affecting indeed.
"He was in his 21st year and was respected by all. At one time he was employed
at the Glenolden P., W. & B. R. R. station as a.ssistant ticket agent, and was a valued
employe. He was exceedingly bright, and was until his death employed as an operaor
at the abbattoir^ Philadelphia."

His death resulted from a collision of two trains, one on each railroad, at
Chadd's Ford Junction, the locomotive of one train striking the car in which
the above was riding- before it had cleared the crossing.
The following notice is from a Kennett Square local, Nov. 15 : —
"The friglitful railroad accident which took place last evening at Chadd's Ford
brought sorrow and distress to our town, the only death from the catastrophe being J.
William Palmer, the son of Monroe and Alice Palmer, a fine lad of IS years of age, of
exemplary character, and well known by everybody in the borough.
"William was a quiet, studious boy. and was attending Goldey's College, in Wil-
mington, Del. Yesterday morning the trolley line being crippled from the recent storm,
the youth took the steam cars, and was returning from school with several companions
when he met his death. His body was brought to his home here at nine o'clock last
evening. The family are completely stunned by the dreadful affair and have the sym-
pathy of the entire community in their great loss."
