PRKKACE.
WrrnOUT knowing originnlly that there were any establislied rules governing Genealogy or
(lie line of descent, niy lirotlier Jacob and I started out yeai's ago to collect tlie Family
Record of our numerous clan, for our own gratilicalion, and the wish to know from whom we
were descended, without having the r(>motest idea that such research would ever result in a book.
Because of the indifference of so many wlio were appealed to for information — they "caring
for none of these things" — our efforts at collecting records soon subsided, and for a score of years
remained dormant, in the meantime, my brother removed to the west, and in 1871, by a strange
providence, found a lost branch of our fimily, that had been missing for over forty years. The ex-
citement caused by this interesting circumstance fairly galvanized me, and I di'lermined to "try, try
again," my aim being to collect all records as far back as Orand-parents, paternal and matfrnal.
The result appears in the two Genealogical Trees.
The data collected was copious, and seemed much too valu;d)le lo be lost, hence a book was
suggested to my mind, as the most suitable way lA' preserving it for posterity. My aim has been
facts, plainly slated for all who are intereste<l.
Photography being a recent art, liut few old and rare pictures were available; time will, how-
ever, soon make the living ones rare. Many persons delayed in seniling in their Photo's, which has
^e/iused some derangement. "To err is human." If dales or names are wrong, let each owner of
the book correct them promptly and neatly. The indux to thi> names under the Photo's is to aid
the reader to certain identity; being written in a small hand, Ihey are not brought out clearly. The
reader will understand how lo accept the editor's porlrailinv of (he writer.
I am greatly indebted to kindred far and near, lor urbanily and promptness in aiding my efforts
in the collecli(jn of a record so full and com|)lcle. 1 would make special mention of cousin Maggie
,1. Pyle, of Ivennett Square, who collected many records, and wrote out in detail the first form of
the McFarlan-Heald Genealogy; Gilbert Cope, of West Chester, Genealogist; Dr. Geo. Smith, of
Djrhy, the historian of Delaware County; \Vm. H. Hollingsworth, deceased, of Paltimore, Md.;
George Powles, of Lloydville, Ohio ; my brother, ,1. T. Sleni, and his daughter, IIk; late Pita P.
.Milliman, of Logan, Iowa; cousin Pdilh Newlin, of \Vilmin^'t(jn, Delaware; Allen Gawlhrop, the
artist of the "Trees and Home Views," of Wilmiti^dnn, Del.; Lewis Marshall and his wife, (the
editor) of iXorliibrook, for valuable services; Dr. Pusey lleald, of Wilminghju, Del.; Albert Cum-
mins, of Frankland, Del.; L P. McFarlan, and his daughter hla, of Kennett ; Jacob Painter,

ville, Chester County, Pa.; lo many Friend's Records; The Historical Society of Penn'a, in Pliila.;

feclions, ] crave the forbearance of our numerous and increasing poslerily for whom I have spent
many weary hours in the preparation of this book.

INTRODUCTION.
ABOUT one-third of a century ago, I received a letter from my brotlier Cyrus Stern, of Wil-
inin^'lon, Delaware, sayinj,' lie would like to get up a record of the Stern Family, fur three
or four generations, and asking my assistance in the enterprise. I was very proud of his ambition,
and consented to render any assistance in my power. But fearing his enthusiasm might bring dis-
api)oiiilmont ui)on himself, I ventured (wisely as I tliought) to caution him not to expect that we
might gel (lie work accomplished that year (18.J1), Indeed, my idea was at that time, that at least
two or three years might elapse before the work could be finished. A whole generation of men
have passed away since then. I may say, that for my own [lart, 1 soon tired out and gave up, but
continued to hope that my brother would go on, as 1 most heartily a|iproved of the work. In all
that long time, lie (although engaged in business as clothier) has nev(M- lost sight of iiis favorite
[iroject. And by indomitable energy and industry, has almost alone, collected and prepared this
valuable record of our kindred.
The amount of labor in a work of this kind can scarcely be appreciated by one who is not in
some way connected with ils preparalion. lis value needs no elucidation — il sjieaks for itself. To
expect that a genealogist can ever be paid for his labor in dollars and cents, is utopian. Very f(»w,
indeed, are found willing to saerilice themselves Ibr the pleasure of posli'rify. I look U[)on the
work of a genealogist as purely a labor of love, worthy of an imperishable monumenl.

HENRY CORNISH. (1685.)

C.nvvuiU, Chailrs 11, and .Jaiiics 11 of Englainl,
nnil who wrnlt. '"i'lie llisli,iy of His Own
Times," was a citizen of London Iwo liundred
years ago, wln-n riiiurch and State, politics and
reli^'ion, were very inucli intermingled, says in
1679; "There was this year at niid-sunuiier a
new practice begun in the city of London tliat
produced vi'ry ill consequences. The city of
London has hy charter the shrivalry of Middle-
sex, as well as the city, and the two sherilTs
were to he chosen on mid-sunitner day. Hut
the cinnnion method had been for tlie Lord
Mayor to name one of the sherilfs, by drinking
to liirn on a public occasion ; arnl that nomina-
tion was coiiimonly coiilirmiMl by llie comuKjn
lived, made il a charge of about x'Ann\ a year;
so they took little care about it, bul only lu lind
men that would l)ear (he charge, which recom-
mended to be chosen alderman upon Ihe^ next
vacancy, and to rise up according to their staml-
ing to the Mayoi'ality, which generally went in
course to the senior alderman. Wlien a per-
son was set U|) to be sliei-iff thai would not
serve, he compounded the mailer for .ClOO
fine. All juries were returned by the sheriffs,
hilt they i:ommonly left that wholly in the hands
of the under-sheriffs ; so it was now pretended
lliat it was necessary to look a little more care-
Uilly after this matter. The under-sherills were
generally attorneys, and might be easily bi-ought
under the management of the court ; so it was
proposed that the sheriffs should he chosen with
more care, not so much Ihat lliey might keep
good tables, as that lliey sliould leturn good Ja-
I'ii's. The person to whom the jiresent ma)'or
had drunk was set aside, and Bethel .uid • Car-
nisli' were chosen for the ensuing year. Lclhel
was a man of kno\
d had
judicious Look of Ihe Interest of I'rinces; but
as lie was a known republican in principle, so he
was a sullen, willful man, and turned from the
ordinary way of sheriff's living, into the extreme
of sordidness, wdiich was very unacceptable to
the body of citizens, and proved a great pivju-
dice to the |iarfy.
" Corni-b, the other sheriri; was a plain, warm,
honest man, ami lived very nobly all his year.
The court was very jealous of this, and under-
stood il to be done on design to pack juries, so
Ihat the pally should be always safe, whatever
Ihey nnght engage in. 11 was said Ihat the King
would not have common ju-tiee done him here-
after aeain.-t any of them, how guilty soever.
The setting up Leihi'l gave a great color to this
jealousy, for it was said he had expressed his
apiiroving Ihe tale King's death in very indecent
terms.
"In lOSI Filzharris, an Irish I'apist, was taken
up for libi'lling tlie King and his family in a ma-
licious manner. Cornish, the sheriff, going to
see him, lie desired he ^voiild bring him a jus-

lice of peace, tor he could make a great dis-
covery of tlie plot, far beyond all that was yet
known. Cornish, in the simplicity of his heart,
went and acquainted the King with this, for
which he was mucli blamed ; for it was said
jjy Ihis means that discovery might have been
slopt ; but his going first with it to the Iving
proved afterwards a great hapijiness both to
hinjself and many others."
After the Reformation the English nation was
the bulwark of Protestantism ; she needed the
support of her Protestant subjects, and they
needed her protection. Both sides had much
to give up. A union was eU'ecled and the re-
sult was, Thi Church of EnijlmuJ. The ICing
was by this the head of the Church. This
union of Church and State still continues.
Tories look sides with the King and Court,
Whigs opposed. King Charles II was a con-
cealed Papist, while his brother, James, heir to
the throne, was an avowed one. Parliament and
the King were often at variance, party spirit was
high, and plots and conspiracies arose. Among
others, the Bye House Plot was discovered in
the early part of 1G83, the object being the as-
sassination of the King and his brother James.
Some of the accused fled, some lost their lives,
some went to prison. Two men, Goodenough
and Rumsey, will turn up again.
Charles 11 died on the 6th of Feb., 1685. Ilis
brother James was proclaimed King the same
day, and was crowned April 3d, as James 11.*
Monmouth's Rebellion followed, June the lltli.
II was speedily crushed, and Monmouth behead-
ed on Tower Mill, July 15th, 1685. Tiiose wiio
had espoused his cause, were butchered by the
military, or the inhuman Judge Jeflerys, under
the forms of law known as "The Bloody Assizes."
Jelt'erys returned from his slaughter in the west to
Windsor for liis reward. The King had watched
him with delight, and gave him the great sea! of
Kngland, as his reward for faithtul services to the
Crown, tie was also created a Baron and Peer
of ICngland.
* Hiunel SAys, " A reign happily be^iin, but iuijlorious ^\\ over."
Bishop Burnet again says : (Vol. 1 p. 650 &
651.) " The King apprehended that many of the
prisoners had got into London, and were con-
cealed lliere, so he said those who concealed
them were tiie worst sort of traitors, lie had
likewise a great mind to find out any among the
rich merchants, who might all'ord great compo-
sitions to save their lives." So after burning
Elizabeth Gaunt, at Tyburn, and beheading Lady
Lysle, in the market place of Winches^ir, Bur-
net again says: "Most of those that suffered,
expressed at their death such a calm firmness,
and such zeal for their religion, which they
believed was in danger, (being prolestants) that
it made great im[)ressions on their spectators.
Some base men among them tried to save them-
selves by accusing others. Goodenough, who
had been under-sheriff of London, when Cornish
was sheriff, offered to swear against Cornish, and
also said that Rumsey had not told all he knew.
So Rumsey, to save himself, joined with Good-
enough to swear Cornish guilty of that for which
the Lord Russel had suffered. And this was
driven on so fast that Cornish was seized and
tried, and executed within the week. If he had
got a little time, the falsehood of the evidence
would have been proved from Rumsey's former
deposition, which appeared so clearly soon after
his death, that his estate was restored to his
family, and the witnesses were lodged in remote
prisons foi- life.
"Cornish, at his death, asserted his innocence
with great vehemence, and with some acrimony
complained of,tlie methods taken to destroy him.
And so they gave it out that he died in a fit of
fury. But Pen, who saw the execution, saiii
to mo, 'There appeared nothin;/ but a Just inJii/-^
■nation that innocence might vertj naturally give.'
Pen might be well relied on in sul-Ii matters, he
being so entirely in the King's interests, tie
said to me, 'The King was much to be pitied,
who was htu'ried into all tliis effusion of blood
by Jell'.'ry's imiietuous and cruel temper.' But
if his own inclinations had not lieen hiasi'd that
way, and his Priests liii.l not thought il the
inter(\sl of their party to let that butcher loose,

by which so many men that were likely to oppose
llicm were put out of the way, it is not to be
iniiigined that there would have been such a reign
of cruelty, and that, in so many instances. It
gave a general horror to the body of the nation,
and it let people see what might ])e ex|iecled
from a reign that seemed to delight in blood.
Even some of the fairest of Tories began to re-
lent a liltlo, and to think they liad trusted too
much, and gone too far.
"Tiie King had raised new regimcids, and had
given commissions to Papists. This yenr, of
which I am now writing, (](;,s."i) inii<l. ever be

In Western Martyrology, or llio I'.loody As-
sizes, we find the following : " Mr. Cdi'ihsIi was
seized in October, 1G85, and the Monday afler
his commitmenl, which was on 'I'lmrsd.iy or
Friday, arraigned for high treason, having no n(j-
lice given him till Saturday noon. His charge
was for consjiiring to kill the King, and jH-om-
tsing to assist the Duke of Monmoulli, &c., in
llioir treasonable enterprises. He desired his
trial might be deferred, because of his short
lime for preparation, and that be had an impor-
tant witness 1-10 miles away. The King left it
Willi the judges to put it off or not ; but il was
denied him. lie had not deserv.-d so well of
the government as to have his trial dcLiyed.
That was, in English, because be bad lieeu a
Protestant sheriff, he shoulil not have justice.
The evidence against Iiim was Humsey and
(looilenough, (the sham of a just trial went on)
and in spite of all he was found guilty ami coii-
denmed, and even that Christian serenity of
mind and countenance, wherewith 'twas visilde
he bore ids sentence, turned to ins re[iroarb by
the bench. lie continueil in the sann^ excidlent
temper whilst in Newgale [jiiil.] and gave the
world a glorious instance of such persons as
live a pious life, when they come to die, let
the way be ever so violent. His carriage and
, behaviour at leaving Newgale, was as fol-
lows :
' SOMU PASSUAOES OF lU'lNlU' COHXISH BEFORE HIS
SUFFERINGS.
Coming into the press yard, and feeling the
halter in the officer's hand, he said, 'Is this for
me?' The officer answered, 'Yes.' lie re-
plied, 'Blessed be God,' and kissed it; and af-
terward said, ' 0, blessed be God for Newgale ;
I have enjoyed God ever since I came within
these walls, and blessed be God who bath made
me fit to die ! I am now going lo that Goti-'lbat
will not be mocked; lo that God that will not
be imposed upon ; lo that God who knows the
innoeency of bis [loor creatures!' And a little
alter be said : ' Never did any [lOor crealm-e
come unto God with greater confidence in His
mercy and assurance of acceptation with Him,
through Jesus Christ than I do ; but it is through
Jesus Christ, for there is no olher way of coming
to God but by Him, lo find acceptance with
Him; there is no olher name under Heaven
whereby we can be saved, but the name of
Jesus !' Then, speaking to the officers, he said :
' Labor every one of you lo be fit lo die, for I
tell you, you are not fit lo die ; I was not fit to
die myself before I came hither, but, 0 blessed
be God, He hath madi- me fit lo die, and halli
made me willing lo die! In a few momeids I
shall have the IVuilion of the blessed Jesus, and
that not for a day, but forever ! I am going to
Ihe kingdom of God where I shall enjoy the
presence of God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit, and of all the Holy

going out he said, ' Farewell Newgate ; farewell

lynlom, the scaffold. The place of it wa.s nlo^^t
spitefully and ignoininiously ordered, almost jje-
fore his own door, and near Guildhall, to scare
any good citizen from appearing vigorously in the
discharge of his duty, for his country's service,
Ijy his example. 'God is my witness,' says he,
' the crimes laid to my charge were falsely and
maliciously sworn against me by the witnesses ;
for I never was at any consult ; nor any meeting
where matters against the government were dis-
coursed of; I never heant or read any declara-
tion lending that way. As fur the crimes for
which I suffer, upon the word of a dying man,

" lie was observed by those who stood near (he
sledge to have several times solemnly averred
his absolute innocence of any design against the
governnuMit.
" There were some persons who v.'cre known to
have been present, that manifesled much barba-
rious joy at his death, some of whom were so
confounded at his constancy and Chrislian bra-
very, as wickedly to report that he was drunk or
mad when he died. His quarters were set upon
'flnildhall,' in Terrorein, aui\ for the same reason,
no doubt, before mentioned, for which he was
executed so near it. There was a terrible storm
on the day of liis death, such an one as has
scarcely been known in the memory of man,
and will never be forgollen by those who wit-
nessed it.
" Parliament afterward reversed the judgment
of the Court; but, alas! they had no power to
reslore Ih6 dead to life."
1 will introduce one more teslimony against
Ibis judicial murder, but not from an eye witness.
It is from a sagacious historian, wim lias few
su[)eriors — Thomas Babington .Alacauley. Vol.
l,p. Gil, says: "Ala later period, when all men
of all parties spoke with horror of Hie I'.liiody
Assixes, the wicked Judge and the wieked King
atleniplcil to vindicate themselves, by throwing
the blame on each other. Jefferys in the Tower,
protested, that in his utmost cruelty, he had not
gone beyond his master's express orders — nay,
that he liad fallen short of them. James, at
Ge
thai
's, would willingly have believed
idi.iiations had been on the side
of clemency, and that unmerited obloquy had
been brought on him by the violence of his
ministers; but neiHier of those hard hearted
men nnist be iibsolved at the expense of the i
p fur James can be pro-
1 to be false in fact. The
if Irue in fad, is utterly
other. The plea
ved under his ow
plea of Jefferys,
worthless.
"The slaughter in the west was over; the
slaughter in London was about to begin. The
government was particularly desirous to find ,
victims among the great IVIu'g merchants of the
city. They had, in the last reign, been a for-
Miiifilile p;ui of llie strength of the opiiosition.
Tliey were weiillliy, and their wealth was not
like that of many noblemen and country gentle-
men, proterled by entail against forfeiture. In
the case of Grey, and of men situated like him,
it was impossible to gratify cruelty and rapacity
at once ; but a rieh trader might be both hanged
and plundered. Tin.' cumnie'reial grandees, how-
ever, though in Lvneral liu:.lile to Popery and to
arbitrary power, had yet been loo scrupulous or
too timid to incur the guilt of high treason. I
One of the most considerable among them, was
Henry Cornish. He had been an Alderman under 'j
the old charter of the city, and had hlled the !
otlice of sheriff when Ihe question of the J'Jxdu- j
sion Bill occupied Mie iiublic mind. In politics !
lie was a ^Vhig ; his religious opinions leaned
toward Presbyterianism ; but his temper was !
cautious and moderate. It is not proved by any j
trustworthy evidence that he t.'Ver a|iproached |
the veriiii of treason. He iiad, indeed, when
sherilT, been very unwilling to employ as his 1
deputy a man so violent and unprincipled as
Goodenough. When the ' Rye House Plot' was ■
discovered, great hopes were entertained at White i
Hall that Cornish would appear to have been
concerned, but these liojies were disappointed.
One of Ihe conspii-alors, indeed, John llumsey,
was ready to swear to anything, but a single
witness was not suflicient, and no second could
be found. More than two years had elapsed ;
THE McFAnLAN-HEALD ANCESTRY. HENRY CORNISH.
Cornisli IhoLight liimself safe, but the oyo of the
lyraiit was upon him. GoocUiion^'h, terrifiod by |

(lays in solitary confinement, and was jji'onght
allotj'L'tiior unprepared to tiie bar of the old IJailey.
The case against him rested wholly on the evi-
dence of Rumsey and Goodenough. Botli were,
by liicir own confession, accomplices in I lie plot
Willi which they charged the prisoner. I^otli
were impelled by the strongest pressure of hope
and fear to criminate him. Evidence was pro-
duced which proved that Goodenough was also
imder the influence of personal enmily. Rum-
sey's story was inconsistent with the story which
he lold when he appeared as a witness against
Lord Russell. But these things were urged in
vain. On the bench sal three judges, who had
lieen with Jefferys in the West ; and it was re-
innrkcd by those who watched their deportment
that they had come back from the carnage of
Taunton in a fierce and excited slate. It is
indeed but too true that the taste for blood is a
laste which even men not naturally cruel, may,
by habit, speedily acquire. The bar and the
bench united to brow beat the unfoi'lnnate
Whig. 'I'lie JLU'y named by a coiii-lly sherilf
readily found a vi>rdicl of guilty, and in spite of
Ihe indignant murmurs of the public, Cornish
siillered death within ten days after his arrest.
That no circumstance of degradation iiught be
wanting, the gibbet was set up where Kint^ street

such strong resenlmeiil at the barbarity and in-
justice of his treatineul, Ihat his enemies spread

however, who slootl n(}ar the gallows, and whose
prejuilires were all (jii (he side of the govern-
ment, allerward said, 'that he could see in
Cornish's deporlnnail, iiolhing but the natural
indignation uf an iniioeiMd man, sl.iiii under the
forms of law.' The head of the murdered
magistrate was placed over Guildhall. Black as
this case was, it was not the blackest which dis-
graced the sessions of Ihat aulunni at the Old

Tyburn, on the same day on which Cornish
suffered .death
Ch
William Penn
hastened from Cheapside, where he had seen
Cornish hanged, to Tybm-n, in order to see
Elizabeth Gauid burned. He afterward related
that 'when she calmly disposed the straw about
her, in such a manner as to siiorten lier suller-
ings, all the bystanders burst into tears.
"It was much noticed, that while the foulest
judicial murders which had disgraced even those
limes, was perpelraling, a tempest burst forth,
such as had not been known since the great
hurricane which raged around the death bed of
Oliver."

THE HOLLINGSWORTH FAMILY.
VALENTINE HOLLINGSWORTH.
Valen'time IIoixiNfiswoirni, horn about l(j-35,
married CAXUAiuNt: Cornish about 1G5S, dauglitLT
of Henry Cornisli, of London. Their four chil-
dren were Tliomas, Henrj', Catharine and Jlary.
The name has been written lloilingwortii,
Ilollinsworlh, Ilollingswortli, County of Chester,
England, traceable to the year 1022. From this
ancient house descends the present Robert llol-
lingworth, Esq., of HoUingwortli Hall, magistrate
for the counties of Chester and Lancaster. The
family name was formerly written Iloilynworfh,
and is evidently derived from the IJolly Tree,
called in Cheshire, Ilollyn Tree, witli which the
estate aliounded.
The fLunily arms are —
Azure: on n Bend, Argent, ?, Holly I.eiives, SIIihumI, VitI.
Crcsi.—A Stag Lodged, ppr.
3/«/(o.— Disce Fereuda Pali.
Since writing the above, I find lliis : " The
family is of Saxon descent. The estate was pur-
chased A. D. 1022, in N. E. Cheshire, England.
The name is derived from the Iluliy Tree and
Worth, (a farm), location, .Motlram. The chinch
of the family and the hall, both several centtu'ies
old, are now standing; the family arms are on
Lolh. The late owner, Ca])!. Robert lloliings-
wurth, died in 18G5. The building is very much
out of repair. It is now owned by a ^Ir. Taylor,
of Manchester, and valued at X20,000. Tliere
are G25 acres of land," says Wm. R. Ilollings-
wortli,'■ of Baltimore, iMaryland.
Jt is possible that Valentine Flollingsworth's
parents were Friends, cotemporary with George
Fox, as Quakerism had birth about lliat lime.
It is not known by us v.licn Valciiline Idl his
native county, Chester, nor where he resided
during the life-time of his first wife, and birth
of their four children; ])ut it is inferred that he
removed lo Irelaml after her death.

Henry was named for liis maternal ^ran<l-
fallier, Henry Cornisli, and was a man of mneli
(listiiictioH. 11 is said tliat lie as.isird Thomas
llMJHies in laying out the city of r'liiladel[ihia,
wlien only 18 years of age. If this is true, he
iiiiist have come to America Iiefon? his father, in
16S2. He was less than ten years of age when
his fatlier moved to Ireland, and his superior
cihiration was obtained there. Wliii.' his seliool-
(lays were passing, he likely found his hiture
roinpanion, for whom he re-crossed the ocean
to marry in 1G88. lie was in membership with
Friends. For some lime in? was Depniy Sur-
veyor of Chester County. In Kllir) he resided
in Chester, and was Sherilf of the couiily, and
also represented New Castle County in the I'ro-
viiicial Assembly, his father being a r(^presen-
tative tiie same year. In 1700, and fiu' some
time after, he was Clerk of the Cuurls, and
Ou'oner of Chester County. He renioveil to
Flkton, Md., about 1712, in' which year he was
appointed, {M mo. 9,) by Lord llallimore. Sur-
veyor of Cecil County.
He was the founder of the Ilollingsw.a'th
family in Alaryhuid: He was the grand-father
of Col. Henry llollingsworth, who was actively
identilied in behalf of the colonies in their
struggle for independence. In early life, Henry
was a (Juaker, but uiiiled later with the Episco-
pal Church. He was somewhat eccentric, and
would ii(,t sulTer an animal to be killed for food,
and lived for many yi'ars on a vegetable diet.
Once on returning from a fair al New Castle, he
saw a rattlesnake coilei! up by a log, near his
home, but passed by wilhoul' killing it. The
next ilay a peddler was found near the siiot,
dead from llie bite of a snake. This gave Henry
great i.ain, ami he afterward believed it right to
kill snakes.

ooiirdryiiien, were loyal and patiiulie. This
may be inferred from tiie Familij Anns. Tlie
crest that snrmounls the helmet above Ihe shield
is a demi-savage, grasping in his doxler lauid
a sheaf of arrows, and pointing with llic sin-^hT
to an imperial crown, exclaiming, " Thin I'll de-
fend!" The scroll beneath Ihe shield contains
the word Loch Sloii. The le-viid that acconnts
for tliese pai'ls of the armorial insignia, says
the riglit to assume them was granted by Ihe
King, for service and bravery at Loch Sloy, wdien
the royal army was imperiled; and that the
honorable distinction of being ranked as a de-
finder of the croivn was at the same lime con-
ferred. This is given as tradition, wilhont data
to verify it. But that the coat-of-arms here
represented was rightfully borne by our far-away
ancestors, adaiits of no doubt, and proves the
family to have been of ancient and honor.djie
descent, for the Arms, see plale 8, No. 18, on
the frontispiece of book.
In the gi'cal Highland uprising in Scotland,
in tT-lT), which resulted so disastrously lo "Char-
ley, my C.iiarley," at the hard fought battle of
Ciillodcn, Sir Walter Scott places Ihe Mad'arlanc
clan second in Ihe ranks, and gives the gathering
words of lhi> clan, on (he evr of bailie, as thrir
walchword, LocJl Sloy. It is said the mother of
that greatest of Scollish Bravo's, Rob l{oy, Ihe
great MacGrogor, was a MacFarlane.
Since Ihe Beformalion, and din'inglhe reign of
Queen Elizabelh, 1558 to IIJO;], ami of James 1
to l(i25, Ihe Earls of Tyrone and Tyrcomiel
entered inio a conspiracy against the luigliNh
governmeni, resulting in their subjugation and
Idiiriliui' of their immense landed possessions.
This, and oilier repeated revolls of the Irish,
(who, ever prefer Home lo taigland) brought
down Ihe |.aw of Ihe British lion wilh terrible
severilv, until seven of Ihe nine coniilies i\{ Ihe

In the closing year of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, Scotland and Ireland became paiis of
the same empire with England, says Macaulay.
•James I\frPai-lan, of county Tyrone, Ireland,
in a I. ■tier to the wiiler in 1875, said : "The
MarFarlands cnnc from Ihe parish of Dugdale,
in S.-dlhm.l, at Ih.; time of the union hclw.vn
Scotland and hvlaiid.^'^ They w.-re moslly of
the Scotch army, and were pensioned hj the
county of Tyrone, wilh others, to settle Ihiav."
This gives us the origin of Ihe Scotch-Irish of
later days in America.
The time our nnnole ancestors emigrated
from Scdtland lo Ireland is not fully eslahlishrd.
II may have I. .mm. early in the 17lh centuiy, if it
was in connection wilh Ihe lai'ge iidlux in the
reign of James I ; bul if -tohn JMcFarlan, of Lis-
cabble, was Ihe lirsl, (as we are told) it mu-t
hav.' been near Ihe close of that cmlnry, or the
beginning of the ISlh, as he was b.,rn UmL'; one
of his four children was born in 1715. Ili-
cldest son being named Dngald, after Ihe paii-li
of Dougdale, in Scotland, from \vheuce he or Ins
progenitors came, favors Ihe supposition that lie
and his wife were emigi'anis, and thus mauifesled
a pleasant memory of their home in father-land.

A1.1.SWORTH— On the 24th of September, ]S77, at Irwin
statiuii, Mrs. Martlia A., wife of Benjamin AlNwortlj, agtd
■i'2 years, 2 iiionth.s and 'G days.
Tlie deceased was ii daiigliter of .James McFarlan, for
many years a liiglily esteemed citizen of llempfield township,
iieared under lionie example and influenoes, she eariv con-
secrated herself to Christ by uuiliug with the Pre-ihyterian
church. For more than twelve years she was alllicted with
a disease, occasioning intense snffering, and for most of these
long years of alllictioa was unable to lie in bed. She was
deprived of worshiping God in the sanctuary, yet the word
of God wa.s her constant companion, and she bent her heart
in luimble submission to God's will, under sufferings and
trials that seemed to crush the human heart; yet never a
murmur. As she ncared Jordan's stormy bank, she w.as en-
abled to see the Saviour on the " shining shore," she pulled
the oar of faith, and longed to take hold of his exleuded
hand. When crossing the river of Death, she turned her
glazed eyes on the loved ones weeping around her dying

and angels obeyed the heavenly mandate, and conveyed her
liberated spirit to the arms of the Saviour. She leaves a
husband, two daughters, brothers and friends to mourn her
departing. Her aged father of more than three score years
and teu, who has often e.\perieneed the bitterness of bereave-
ment, said to the writer, with a tearful eye, " 1 accept the
bitter cup, because I am satistied that God has taken her to
himself."

Their first home consisted of a single room in the ! „,!",,.
house of a neighbor, one-c|uarter of a mile west of
his father's home, and north of the Street Road.
William and Elizabeth afterward owned the
homestead of his fallier at (he crossroads where
they lived and died, and where their son William
spent the whole of liis long life. " Aunt Betsey"

very pleasant, indeed." It was a McFarlan trait
to care tenderly for animals, and it has de-
scended, in a modified form, to some of tlio
present generation. William's wife was a rricml,
niui her parents and grand-parents l)cfore her ;
this may have liad something to du wilh his
plain apparel, as he was the plainest of his
family, none of whom belonged to any religious
rlenoniinalion. William survived his wife 3 8
years. They rest together in l''riends' Grounds,
at Londongi'ovo.

1771 ; d. J lib mo. 13, 1858, within one day of
her 87lh year. I'aternally she was of .Swrdi^h
ilescenl, being Ihe daughter of Amlivw Trier-
son, whose wife was a Ford, and I presninr a
sister of old Abram Ford, of near Wilmington,
Del. She had a brother, An.lrew Peterson (her
falher's name was Andrew), who m. a daughler
of an old German couple named Smallz, who
resided on the Kennetl pike near Wilmington.
Ex-sheriir Lyman's wife, of New Castle County,
Del., is a daughter of said Andrew Peterson, and
a son of Henry Peterson, a keeper of J\Ioyamen-
sing prison, PhiTa, and has been for years.
George and Sarah McFarlan adopted the wri-
ter of this liistory, and no mother ever treated
her child wilh more tenderness than she be-
stowed on the orphan. Slie was truly a good
woman, who practiced the comma!)d, "do unto
others as ye would liave others do unto you."
George was widely known for a quarter of a cen-
tury as one of the best wooden pump makers in
the country. He was a carpenter by trade, but
ill middle and later life he followed pump mak-
ing. So extensive was his business he was sel-
dom at home more than one night in the week.
He was a strong, hardy man, about five feel ten
or eleven inches in height, and would wt'igh
170 or 180 pounds. The boring of while oak
pump slocks was considered hard work loj- two
men, yet he oflen did it alone. His hard, bony
lingers, had worn ruts in the well seasoned
hickory handle of his sixteen-feel auger. When
George and Sarah were married they occupied a
room in his sister, Betsey Taggart's house. There
llieir first, and probably their second, child was
boin, as we find two months after John's birth,
the falhcr made a purchase of 50 acres of land,
1st 1110. TMi. I7!i7, of .John and Rachel Pennock,
fir Ihi'sum of c'jOd, lawful money of the State
of Pennsylvania. This was a jiarl of the Jacob
Taggart oslale. The lille runs lluis : "From

cob Taggart, deceased, to John and Sarah Tag-

S.iiah Mrl-'ailan, PI imi. 7, 17!I7. John Pen-
iinck was a blaeksmith ; his stone house con-
laiiied but Iwo iir llii'ee rooms; his shop and a
shed near by Geoige used for a carpenter shop
and wood-house. As his family increased he
enlarg.al Ihe house; lirsl, by an addiliim lo the
smilh end, and laler by a two-slory kitchen on
the norlh.
The family were frugal, and prosperity attended
lliem. The wrilei- speiil Ihirteen years of his
cliildhuod and yonlh al Ihe home here described, ■
from lifly lo sixly years ago.

There were filly acres more land belonging to
the George iMcl''arlaii home of wdiich I have not
Ihe "metes and bounds ;" he also purchased of
Jeremiah Gaily, -lib m... 'J.j, ISKJ, 3^ acres of
woodland, for" which he [laid .-^loO. By hard
work and rieid ei onomy he made and saved
money, assialing his four sons as they settled in
life to a farm each, and his three d.iughters to
comfortable oulfits as they took [lartiiers and
Ic'fl the old homestead.
The prosperity of lliis successful and seemingly
happy family did not continue lo the end. George
iM( Parian, when past three score and ten relin-
quished, in a measure, the work that had filled
his life, and aller the change became by degrees
a \n'vy to melancholy, ami finally lo a morbid

Isaac Yearsley was about six Irct in hei-lit,
straiglil and slender, of a kind disposilion, sober
and industrious; by trade, a slonr njason. A
leading trait in his character was his fondness of
knowledge, and love of reading. On one occa-
sion, not long before liis decease, when visiting
at the home of his nephew, William McFarlan,
of l\(.'nnetl, lie took up a book that delighted
him much. It was " Malte Brun's Physical Geo-
graphy," which he said he had been wanting to
read all his life. Sitting down to it, hi> was
oblivious of all around him, and only ro-lcd
from his reading to take the nceduil noniish-
moiit and sleep, for several days, inilil he com-
pleted the work.
After his marriage he resided with his brolher
Enoch, near Avondale, where lAniisa and Sally
Ann wi-re born. In 1817 he purchased a small
farm, south of Centerville, Del., (adjoining his
brother-indaw, John Stern) where William A.,
Elizaljeth and Isaac Lewis were born, and where

John Slern was si.K ((,>et in height, like his son
Jacob T., but a stouter man. His complexion
was fair and florid ; hall', light brown ; counte-
nance open and expressive.

workman. A side-saddle made liy him for his
daughter Sarah, and now in possession of her
daughter, TIanna R. ^Veldin, of Brandywine
Hundred, Del., is nearly seventy years old, and
almost as soft and good as new.
In personal appenrance, I^hebe Stern was
small and slight, of alioul one liundred [jounds
in weight, resembling somewhat her daughter,
Rest, who was the smallest of her family.
John M. Stern, of Oxford, Ohio, was a lad of
fourteen years when our nidllirr tiled. He says :
" ller complexion was very fair, and hair corres-
pondingly light; -he wa-: always neally dressed.
At this place Ihe writer's parents resided about
eighteen years. It is probable that all the
children were born here, except the eldest, and
two youngest. fJeorge Stern in his " Chronicle"
(written from memory) of the family, salt! :
" Father lived at the nine acre home until 1817."
This was an error, and after the lapse of half a
Century, excusable. The deed for the farm John
Stern bought of Jacob Graves, of 48.} acres, near
the Log Meeting House, one mile south ofCenter-
ville, Del., was executed March 'Jfjlh, 181G.

1820, aged 41 years.
The purchase of the home in Delaware so
soon after the w.ir of 1811', wdien land was very
high, proved a l)limdei-. It was sold four years
later at a great loss, to George McFarlan. The
family was scattered, mostly among the mother's
kindred. The falher was broken down and dis-
couraged, and sought a home wilh his sister
Saiah l.ainborn, in Keniiell township, at what is
now llosedale Station, on the 1!. C. R. R. Here
late in the fall of 1821, while assisting Thomas
Lamborn wilh his butchering, he contracted a
violent cold, and in one week had ceased to
suffer and to live, aged 45 years. In less than
lirieen nujnths after the death of his wife, he was
laid by her side at old Center.

called the " Village Bower" by Millicent, who
surrounded it with vines and flowers, in llio
culture of which she was very successful.
Here they dwe'll for several years, finding
time in the intervals of labor to attend lyceums,
lectures, and reform meetings of every kind,
often speaking and taking part in debates. Both
husl)and and wife are earnesl workers for tem-
perance, the advancement of woman, and all
other reforms. They wore o<|ually active in the
cause of anti-slavery in the days that "tried
men's souls." After parting with Iheir village
home, they resided on the Octorara, in Lancaster
County, and al Russellville. In 1853-4 they re-
moved lo Hillside, in Kennetl township, and
farmed there Iwo years, then to the Bed Lion,
in East MarlLiorough, farming still. In the Spring
of 1857, they sold out and wen I to the far west,
purchasing a farm at Harris Grove, Harrison
County, Iowa, which they named " Linwood,"
where they resided until the Spring of 1883.
They gained prominence as agriculturists, and
after many hardships and privations in the new
country, made for themselves a comfortable
home, and were counted among the old settlers.

looking wi'll afler the ways of her household ;
was neat and energetic as a worker, always
keeping in advance of the actual need in the
afl'airs of life. " We may not look upon her like
again."
She was in memljcrship with Friends, and
took a deep interest in all that pertai-ned to their
mode of worship. She taught lier sons, when
quite young, to read in turn a portion of Scrip-
ture every morning, thus obeying the divine in-
junction, "Train up a child in the way he should
go, and when he is oKl he will not depart from

died in childhood ; and a year later, her son
William Henry was laid by her side.

they removed two doors above, No. Ill, where
they still reside (188-1) in the clothing and mer-
chant tailoring business.
Cyrus did not become a tailor from choice
altogether. It happened in this way : On the 17lli
of March, 1834, he left his adopted home at
George McFarlan's, to assist on the farm of a
fine old Quakerneighbor, (John Hadley) until the
flrll, when he was engaged to learn cabinet-makiiij^
with Samuel ,Ia,a)l>s, at Kennell Square. Tlir
bilious fever was almost epidemic, and very fdal
that season; Cyrus was prostrated on llie ITIli
of Seplend)er, and lay dangerously ill fur Ihirly-
three days at John Hadley's. He was then re-
moved to his Uncle, George jMcFarlan's — four
men carrying him on a col, one of whom was
Ills brother John. He was there nursed by his
cousin Albina for more than two months, when
he was removed on a bed to his brother George's,
in Hamorton, whore, in twenty days, lie com-
menced to learn to walk, after being bed-ridden
over five nionllis. This severe illness banished
all thought of learning the cabinet-making trade.
In the Spring of 1835, his brolher, Jacob T.
ciimmenced business at tlieRed IJon, and Cyru-;,
iiaving nolhing to do, drifted in with him in the
plastering trade. During the Spring they plas-
tered a small sliop for Jacob Lamborn, ]'',s(|,, at
the l{ed Lion. It was intended for a (ailor, a
y(jimgman named (Jeorge Gordon, who pi-oposed
to give a boy who would stay four years, and
learn tailoring, his board and clolliing, wilh a
freedom suit at the end of his time, two weeks
in harvest each year, and two mDiillis schooling
during the four years. Cyrus w.is at that lime
live months past seventeen years of ago ; he ac-
cepteil the terms verbaUi/, and on the next .Mon-
thly, (June 8lh, 183,5) ho commenceil his appren-
ticeship. iVovidence seemed to understand, for
it suited him well.

niiurch, of whicli lie has since heen a eonsislenl

aliout doing good.

" More than thirty years ago he conceived the
idea of collecling some statistics of his family to
preserve in permanent form, hut il was not until
1871 that he commenced in eaniesl lo colled
the data eml>odied in this volume. During the
next year or two lie visited most of tla.' homes
and haunts of his ancestors and relalives, ac-
companied by a pliolographer, hiking [licluies,
some of which adorn this work.
"In 1874 he published Ihe ]\leFai'lau-lleald
ricnealogical I'ree, and a year or so later, the
more thickly branched Tree of Ihe Stern-Wests.
Since that linn', in the intervals of business, ami
as health permitted, he has prepared this volume.
He has shown himself to be the mo-^t pi^i-se'ver-
ing, of a pei'severing tribe, and although Ihe
youngest of his many-menibered family, he has
surp;isseit them all in patient, persistent work.
Since commencing his self-imposed task, he has
writluu over one thousand letters, examined tln^
rcc(rrds of different states, and many of the
monthly meeting books of Friends ; collecting
and studying books of fiimily and local history
lo a large extent; having recourse to the histori-
cal libraries of large cities in the search for in-
formation which ho has gathered IVoni every
conceivable (piarler.
"He ealle.l a family nieeliug on the i'M of
September, 1875, on the classic field of Dramly-
wiue, at Birmingham IMeeting House. At a
gathering of those present in the afternoon,
within the old Devolutionaiy building, some iti-

licture commemorated

"In Ihe Centennial year, August 10th, a more
formal family re-niiion (planned by Cyrus) was
called at Longwood, and responded to by several
hundr(?d of the descendants of John McFarlan
and Sarah Iloald, George Stern and Sarah West,
representing many states. On that occasion,
among many contribulions of a literary cliaractcr,
Cyrus produced an elaborate history of the
Stern-^Vcst family.
"Seven years laler, lOlh of August, 1883, he
called together a few relalives at Old Centre, near
lo hi-^ nwu birlh-place, and the burial-place of
his parents, and many of the family. It was
Init
ithei
memorable for being
Ihe time and place of the last meeting together
of th<' live remaining brothers and sisters of his
immediate family; one sisler ha. -iucc^ departed,
an. I a l,u-otljer returned to his home in the far
west.
"On the -1111 of Se])teniber, 187ft, a re-union
of family and friends, taking the form of a sur-
prise for Cyrus, was held in Pierce's Park. The
day was beautiful, and will long be remembered
by the pal licipanls. Social converse, and walks
among the stalely lre(>s ami lovely llowers, tilled
the lime uidil the |.ic-nic dinner was spread on
the tables and enjoyed by all. The afler part of
the day was given to exercises of a literary
character, speeches, essays, poems, itc, with
some reminiscences by Cyrus, of adventures in
that locality in his youth. A picture of a group
was taken at the west cud of the mansion, by
K. S. Marshall, of We.t Chester."

ate (July, 1842) of the Wedeijan Fnnale Institute,
of Wilmington, Del.; was a teacher in the col-
lege for several years, her branches being My-
thology, History and Geography. She was of a
retiring disposition, slight and frail in appearance,
but enjoyed fair health, and was a student with
literary inclinations. She was in membership
with the M. E. Church. Her failli mingled with
fears, but shortly before the end lliey all pa-^ed
away, and slie said, "Some one's pray(.'rs are
answered, the chariot has come," and quietly
fell asleep in death. She was interred at i\lt.

rests in W. and H. Cemetery. He was in tlie
grocery business at the corner of .Seventli and
King streets, Wilmington, Delaware, for nearly
two score years. His heallli failed, and he re-
tired wilh his family to 1401 Jackson street,
where he ceased to live.
The following short sketch of his life is clipped
from a church paper :
"J.icob S. AVeKlin was Lorn in linm.lywinc Iliimlred,
March 11, 1.S13, .iiul dieil at Iiia ivsi.lencf, No. HUl Jacksou
street, this city, on January 4th, ISSo. He was convurti-il
near Mount Pleasant, on the eveninfj of October 31st, Iti.'U,
anil for more than fifty years lived a life that was consiiieiioiis

f fur its purity and usel'ulness. He was one of the foumlers of
|- Ihu Mt. Pleasant M. E. Cliurcli, the first fifty (hillars he ever
f- ciiriied being sacreJly given to that enterprise. For nearly
I fi/rly years he was engaged in business in this city, and we
' mier only the universal testimony of liis townsmen when we
Buy lliat during all that time no man in Wilmington was
more truly respected than lie. In the churcli and out of it,
Ilia name was a synonym for upriglitness and goodness.
After ten years' association with Asbury, he became one of
llie original members of Scott Church, Wilmington, and re-
mained in its communion until his death. lie held the
petitions of trustee, class-leader, and exhorler, and was faith-
ful and cllieieut in tlieui all. Long after he was obliged to
cease from llie work of public exhortation, he exercised his
gift in private, and until his final illness, was accustomed,
kindly and faithfully, to warn and cmnscl his friends on the
n.l.ji-et of Iheir souls' salvaii(.n.
" lie came to his ' grave in a full age, like a shock of corn
Cometh in ii\ his season.' Suil'ering from no disease, his
physical energies simply failed and, like machinery from
wtdch the power has been withdrawn, the weary wheels of
life revolved slower and slower, and at length stood still.
AVillioiit pain or struggle 'he was not, for God took him.'
liis mind was as placid as the bosom of an unrullled lake.
He had no care, no want, no desire. The cup of his life was
fidl, his work was done, liis hopes were realized, and he
yielded lip his pure, ripe spirit to God in the completeness
uf a perfected peace.
"lie leaves a widow, who was the conipaniun of his heart
and life for more than forty-two years, and live children, lour
of whom are esteemed members of the church, while the
other has very recently been converted among \is, and to this
faiidly he has bequeathed the precious legacy of an unsullied
lite, a beiiutiful faith, and a triumphant death."

mo'I'Iiim; .\xd SOX.
One year ;i-o, a lillle more,
We fnlluwM.'d in the train that bore
A faithful mother and true wife.
From home, anil all she loved in life,
And saw her cold form laid so low,
Fnder the winter's robe of snow ;
And even felt amid our grief,
How kindly had been death's relief;
For long she had been weak ami frail,
(A reed before the earth's rude gale,)
And when the Father's beckoning hand,
SummouM her to the better land,
E'en we who loved her, could but say.
For her it is the happier way.
A year has passed ,s„me days ago
Since she was shrouded 'ne'alh the snow,
And we to-ilay laid by her side
A son who was her hope and pride.
And gave to the chill earth's embriu'e.
One whose earih work was earlv done,
leek to praise,
than free of speech.
A loving broil
His walk was
That gentle s|
More prompt
He did the duties within reach ;
And we who saw liis peaceful face
Laid low in the chill earth's embrace,
Were given to know what words ne'er tell
Thai wiih bim all indeed is well;
And who sh.ill say they live in vain
\Vlio oidy from the wrong refrain,
Who walk with steady steps and ilo
The deeds known only to the few,
Since all who live for liigher good
Will bless the human brotherhood.

To verify some facts of interest, I introduce
here a leller of Dr. George Smith, the historian
of Deknvare County, Pa., and tlie deposition of
Samuel 1 lollingswortli :
Ui'i'Eu DAimv, Del. Co., Da., ;kl mo. 15, 1880.
Towards the close of the pa-l year, my friend
Gilbert r;„pe caused lo l)e publi^licMl" in the
I>^u-/,f R.'i.ullh.v,, a depo-ilion made in ! 7;i5 by
Samuel llolling.worlh, who wa. a son of the
immigrant \-alenline 1 loIlinL'sworlh, and who
came to Ihis country wilh hi- filher in 1082.
The deposilion was evidenlly made to establish
some point in eonneelion with Ihe controversy
Ihen pending about Ihe ili-pulrd line belween
Ihe colonies uf I 'enn-y Ivania and .Maryland. IL
proved that Maryland aboul the year tr,83, had
surveyors engaged in riinuing such a line, and
ineidenlally, thai IIiom.' surveyors, among whom
was Col. 'falbol, ^lo|lp,•d at iiie hr)use of Valen-
tine llollingsworlh, in .Xew Ci.tle counly, and
was entertained over night by him. It a'^^ !■

was made known that the maiden name of Val-
entine's wife Ann, and the deponent's mother,
was a Calvert; and as Col. Talbot suppos(?(l,
was one of the Lord Baltimore Calvcrls of Mary-
land.
In llie liiograpliical account of Henry TTollings-
wiirth, (who was a son of Valentine) ;,'iven in Ihe
history of f)ela\vare County, the mother of Henry
is said to be tiie daugiiter of Henry Cornish,
Higli Sheriff of I^ondon, who was unjustly e.\-
ecuted durin- llic rci-n of James II. The above
menlioncd ilcposilioii, coupled with Ihe intro-
ductory remarks, leaves it to be inferred that the
maJLi nal parenlage of Henry Hollingsworth, tliLis
[^'ivL-n, was pi'obably ini:orrect. I may nii'nlioii
that my notice of him, so far as it relates to his
parentage, was taken h-om a biographical notice
of Levi Hollm;jsworlh, a yrand-son of Henry,
conlaiiicd in "[he' Lives of Lmincnt I'liila.ld-
phians," which was contrit)nted to that wcn'k by
Ihe late Dr. Joseph Carson, Professor of Materia
Mcdlca in the University of Pennsylvania, who,
by marriage, was connected with the fannly.
While there were facts in my [lossession which
made it almosi eeilaiu Uial Ihe molherof Henry
llollii.-swui'lli,;ual Sanniel, llie ni, deer of [be de-
|)osi[ion, was not [he same, I thought it would
Ik; more satisfactory to confer wilb some of the
ilesceiidants of Henry, wilh whom I was ac-
quainted. The result of this conference has
been to establish all the malerial fads in the
publisbed accounts of Henry l!ollii!gsw(nJh, ex-
cep! [be maiden name of his mother, which was
( 'ailntnnc (.'.oruish, and not Ann.
Without going into particulars, I may uieiiliou
thai Ihe family records show that Ihe .•hiidieu of
Valeidine Hollingsworth and bis lirsl wile, Cath-
arine, were :
TnoMAS, b. about 1(360; living in 1722.
IkiMhY, b. about 1002.

1(;.S2 or earlier, relurned and m.arried Lydia

The above will be sufficient to establish sub-
^[anlially the correctness of the account of Henry
1 loliiiigsworlh that has been heretofore publislied.

' Ih.Mld, of W'ilmiiiglnu, Delaware, i/hard at work
,-allieiiiig material for an exhau>tive lustory of
I he Ileald and .M.'iidenhall families. To hi"m I
am iiitli'liled I'.Ji' the following interesting data,
but whiel, so far fills to give his paternity on
eilher side. Martha's maiden name, " Fodeu,"
is new.

ti.'nlm-}', is tlial oF Kicliainl l)e (Inylpyn, from
wlioiii lias ilescciuled a lon^' and honored line,
coming down to us after tlie first few f^enera-
lions in the less esthetic name of Gilpin, and
branching off in the early part of the seven-
ieeiilh rrntniy and taller half of the eiglilccnlli,
into the lamilirs of WrsI and Stern, no less
ancient and dislingnisheii. We are favored as
are hut few in heing aljJe, liglited by Hie torch
of hei'aldry, to trace our pedigree bade through
the agrs in an unbroken line, and are also
lelilcd to the well kept records of the
great 1>
Sociely of Friends, with which the families of
each iianie hav(,' been corniccled for many gene-
rations. lOvery ne'nd)rr, as he glances over tiie
long list of untarnished and honorable names,
men and women who have served well Iheir •
day and generation, must feel a glow of honest
pride and satisfaction, and thankfully appreciate
th'' clfoil-. that have preserved for Inm and his
childri:n su( h an inestimable legacy.
We first give a general outline, by occasion-
ally referring to wliich the reader, as lie [iro-

witli the general tloctrines of the Refoniiation.
He was called the Apostle of the North, and
wandered unliarnied ariiid the incessant strife
and eonfnsioii nf the times. On one occasion,
enteriiiy I'lothlniry (^'.liurch, in Northumberland,
he saw a glove hanging in a conspicuous [ilace
as a challenge from some horse trooper of the
district. Taking it down he produced it in the
course of his sermon, and said, " 1 hear Iheri' is
one among you, wiio has even in this sacred
place hung up a glove in defiance. [ challenge
him to compete witli me in acts of Christian
charily." A charge of thirteen articles was
ilrawn up against him, but his uncle. Dr. Tonslall,
BislRi|) of Durham, found a method of dismissing
them. His eumiies, however, laid their coni-
plainl before Hr. Bonner, Bishop of London,
upon which he prei.ared for martyrdom. On
his way to l,ondon, to be tried before the t'oi-isli
uarly, he broke liis leg by a fall, whicli put a
stop for some time to his journey. The person
n whose custody he was, took occasion from
his circumslaiire to retort upon him an ol)serva-
ion he used fre(|uently to make, "That iiolliiiig
lappens to us but wdiat is intended for our

ion, but it was. And indeed so it proved ; for

He first studied medicine and afterwards divinity,
and was made rector of Greystock in Cumber-

of much notoriety, situated on the confines of

to re|)el the invasion of the .Scots. It stands

This rompleles the list, niin' eliildrm in all.
The firsL Sarah was born ami died in London ;
all the rest born at Concord. Thomas West
and family left Concord late in 17:3G for Willing-
town, a small village in one of the lower counties
of Ihe Province of Pennsylvania, called Nrw
Caslli' County upon Delawaiv. William Sliiplry
and his niiled wife had conn" one yiMr previous,
and this very year hatl built Ihem a housr,
corner of Fourth and Shiplry shvrls. He had
money, rneigy and business abilily, and soon the
village liinlc on new life IV his ^alvaiiizin;,'
I h. .Many (Juaki'rs in Chester Cniinly (then
embracing I)ela\vare County) bought lots, and
some, like Thomas West, came to stay, ami soon
the liltle village of Willingtown became the
borouLdi of Wilmington:^' indeed this very year
pelitions were circulaled for the charier, and it
was granted Nov. 1(J, 1739, by " Ceorge II, by
the grace of God, of Great Drilain, France and
Ireland, King, defender of the failli, and so forlli."
This I harler says, William Shipley and Thomas
wilh fjioch Lewis, high constable, alMjuiikers.
Tliumas West l.(, light several h.ls, one in 17:;(i
between Front and Second stri'els and .Market
and Wesl, and one or two below Front on or
near the < '.In ir^liana ; and in 1738 he bought the
square between Filth and Sixth and West* and
Pasture (now Washiuglon) streets, and buill a
substantial two story brick house (with black-
ended brick) on Ihe north corner of Fifth and
West slreels. The same year the Ouakers buill
their lirst meclin-honse near by. The house
(the lirst one buill on (Uiaker Hill,) was about 28
feet square. A wing Was added to it on Fillli
^Ireelperhaiislhree score years ago. It originally
had a walk on lup as the raflei-s and gables in-
dicated. This ^rand old house stood the ravages
of time for one humlred and forty-five years.
Its age will niiMv vividly appear when we rellect
that at the lime nf ils erection George Washing-
ton was a lillle buy, (six years of age). xVgain, it
was not built in the borough or city of Wilming-
ton, nor in the rotate of tielaware ; nor within
the jurisdictiuii of the Lniied States; Uncle
Sam had n,,t yet been Ihuiighl of. When torn
down, its walls al)ovi\ and in lln' cellar, were as
sound as when Iniilt. Thomas Wesl's fuiiily
consisted then of himself and wife, the twin
danghlers Jn-l blnoming nito wuinanhood, eigh-
teen years „f age, Joseph, a bny of ten, and
perhaps .Mary ami Kli/.abeth. William is still in
Concord, learning the trade of cardwainer (shoe-
makerl, and Thomas, the eldest son, is a farmer
there, bavin- been marrie.l to Susanna Powell,
of Cheler.Munlhly Meeting, 21st of ;M mo. 17:;(i,
at Provideiiee .Meeting. The twiiw Were mar-
ried in 17 12 and 17 13, and in 171:'. Thomas
W'est deiiarled this life, .Mler e'lvcting his new
and last earthly dwelling hou-:e, lew were lii.s
days before called to a " m.uiMon not made
with bands.-' Far from the play grounds of
his chihlhuoil, al Long Crand.m, in Ijucking-

marriud on the L'3d of the 1st mo. in that year, j

and Esther Nc'wlin, of that township. She proha-

resided one mile north-east of Centerville, Dela-

near to the historic Brandywino, and only a few
miles south of that memorable batlie-field of the
lu'volution. There all the children were born,
(;leveii in tunnhei' ; only two of whom are living-
at this time (1885), Amos and Rachel. My
brother George has said, " Aunt Rachel was a
kind, and lovely woman, in mitldle and laler
life she was an invalid, and underwent a surgical
operation, thai was successful, and added twenty-
five years to her life, but she was never strong
and vigiirous afterward." Isaac was rather

nolfd for eccentricities and independence of
characln-, but kind and g(u)d tempered in his
ilisposilion. His wile was Mary Crimes; they
resided in and around Clenterville, Delaware.

she hurried to pile the meal tub, and furniture

occurred, (most likely) not far from Centerville,
Delaware.* Three children of Jo!) and .Mary

li;, 18;59, unin., agvd thirty-six years. He was
a carpenter, and when the rail road briilge at
Coatesville was finished, lie proposed to jump
oir of it into the water for SI 00. His banter
was accepted, and he made a large parachule,
some thirteen feet in diamelei-, lo aid him in Ihe
descent. My brothers, George and Jacob T.,
were among the sj)ectators. The latter gives the
incidents of the day thus :
It was the Fourth of July, ]8.",2, not very long
after the Columbia U. H. was piil in operalion.
The day was very line; the new railroad, Ihe
high bridge, ami the jump, combined lo allract
thousands to the spot. The jump was to take
place at 1 P. .M., but it was nearly evening before
it was accomplished. The one hundred dollars
was (piickly raised by voluntary subscription on
the grouml. It was rumored that the monev
would be rehiiided, and no jumping done. Piit
jahers, we have paid our money, and now you
have got to jump, or \v(^ will throw you olT."
After a long delay, Abiier came to the middle of
the bridge wilh ins mammoth iiaracliiite, and
his friends put a strong girth around under hi-,
arms ;iiid back, with strong straps lo Ihe long
slair. 'I'his arrangement would hold his body
almost entirely above the centre of the parachute,
while his friends earnestly urged him not (o do
so, Init lo lake hold of the lower end of the

Tally to all advice, and there was much of it,
and said, " my friends, I tliank you for your
iiderest in my welfare, but I must be allowed to
have my own way." lie and all others agreed
Ufion one wise thing — to swing off from the side
of the bridge precisely over the water, wliich is
only a small stream at that plac,.. To that,
[lerliaps, he owed his life. There was about two
feet of water where he fell, wliich saved him,
for his parachute was of no use whatever, as it
causi'd ' ini to fall on his back and shoulders.
lb' hi !v a very short address to the crowd,
saying tliat it was "very uncertain how it would
come out." Fie no doubt felt great anxiety at
that moment, but ordered the rope cut, and
was (juickly in the water of the Urandywine,
some eighty feet below. He got up and walked
to the hotel, amid the plaudits of four thousand
voices. It was the opinion of those who had
lieen practicing with the parachute on the high
banks ai-ouml, wliere a jump of from six lo
twelve feet could be had, that if he had taken
hold of the end of the staff, the parachute would
have let him down nicely.

THE AMERICAN GILPIN ANCESTRV.
(For tin- Em^liih Branch sec Stent Ancalry:)
15. Thomas Gilpin, of Warborougli, in Oxford-
sliiie, llie youngest son of Thomas Gilpin, of
Mill Hill, was bom in 1622, and died 12lii mo.
(then Feb.) 3d, 1682. He married abont 1615,
Joan Bartliolomew, and had three sons, Joseph,
Isaac and Thomas. He was a colonel in tiie
Eni;lish army on the Republican side, and at the
bailie of \V(n-cester, September 3, 1G51, where
tlie royal army of Charles First was overthrown
by Ci-omwi'll, called by the latter his crowning
meicy. TliDiiias West,* who had married his
sister, Ann Gilpin, acted as major. Soon after,
both of Ihcni became convinced of the truth of
the piimiplcs of the Society of ]*'riend.- and
united with them. Thomas Gilpin was a preacher
in that Society for forty years. In KiGl he was
detained seven weeks in the Marshal's custody
at Oxford, for refusing to take the oath of alle-
giance. .May 2!ith, 1670, a meeting was held at
his house for which tlie justice fined iiim £20,
and on the 26lli of June, of tlie same year,
anulher meeting was held at his iiouse, for which
olit nre the oflicers wereautliorized to break into
it. which they did, breaking open locks and bolls,
and took away his goods, so that lie was left
without cooking utensils, bed or food. Soon
alter, liis corn from three acres of land and two
pi-s were taken. In 1672, by the king's letters
p.iliiit many persons were discharged from i)rison,
some of whom hail been conlincd a long time.
From C)\ford jail lifteen were set free, among
Ihem being Thomas Gilpin. The Gilpin family
ollcn suffered in the service of the Master.

16. JnsKiMi Gn.riN-, born in KWl-l, married Han-
nah Glover, in 16L)1, and with his wile and two
small children emigrated to America in 1695.
They were Quakers, and the rough experiences
of their lif; thus far, warned them to seek wliile
still young and strong a refuge in the New World.
They knew that toils and i.rivations awaited
them, that each man must d.'petid on himself
alo.H', the others, also, having all they could do
or bear in the ta>k of Mibiluing the wilderness
and rearing a home, lint they were children
of the martyrs, inheriting their spirit, and with
firm trust in God felt no fear. Among the ship's
company on tlie voyage hither, ^vere I he ancestors
of the Coats and Morris famili... cf I'liiladelphia,
coming like them to cast in thi.'ir lot with the
William I'enn settleim-nt. They landed at New

is now known as Dilwnrtlilown, Ciu '-. ' ,11111!;,
Pennsylvania. The fir>t want of the family was
a shelter. This was (inickly and .he;, ply fnun.l ;
a cave by the side of a rock, and no doubt near
a spring of water, furnishing them a home. Here
for some time they contrived to be quite com-
fortable. The tradition is that their thirteen
younger cliildrcn were born there, but it is
hardly possible that the limits of a cave could
have accommodated them after the first few
years, had such a resideiid' been in other res|)ects
I desirable. It is said I hat Joseph Gilpin and

blood high in the community, for uprightness, and
was urbane and gentlemanly in his every-day
life: a cpiiel, unobtrusive man. I will close
Ihis partial and imperfect notice of tlie Gilpin
Ancestry in America, by quoting from Fronde's
History of England, vol. IV, page 358, some re-
marks of Rev. Bernard Gilpin, (The Apostle of the
Noilh) born at Kentmere, 1517; son of Edwin
No. 10. He was educated in the church of
Ilomi', and was colemiiorary with Calimer in
Ihe twilight morn of the Reformaliun. Lalimer
h.id made some hard hits in his sermon l>eforo
the king and his courtiers, and Gilpin folhjwed.
" Look," Gilpin said, " how Lady Avarice has
set on work altogether. Mighty men, gentlemen,
and all rich men, do rob and spoil the poor, to
Imn Ihem fr.im Iheir livings and from Iheir
ridil.; and ever Ihe weakest go to llu' wall ;
and being thus tormented and piil IVimi Ihuir
rights at home, they come to Lundun as lo a
place where justice should be had, and this they
can have no more. They are suitors to great
men, and cannot come to their speech. Their
servants must have bribes, and they no small
ones; all love bribes. Hut such as be dainty (o
hear the poor, let them take heed lest God make
it slrange to them when they shall pray. Whoso
sloppeth his ear at the crying of the poor, he
shall cry and not be heard. With what glad
hearts and clear consciences might noblemen go
j to rest, when ihey bad besl(,w(^d lie.' day in
I hearing Christ com|)lain iu his m.'mb.'rs, and in
j redressing their wi'oiigs. llul, alas, what lack
I tliereof! poor jieople are driven to seek their
I rights among Ihe Lawyi'rs, and as the jirophet
! Joel sailh, what Ihe cal.M-pillars left, the greedy
locusts, the lawyer--, devour ; lhi;y laugh with the
money which makelli others to weep. The poor
are robbed on every side, and that of such as
have authority; the robberies, extortions, and
open oppressions of these covetous cormorants,
I tlie gentlemen, have no end or limits, no banks
to keep in their vileness. Eor turning poor men
out of their holds they lake il for no olfense, but
say the land is their own, and they turn thein
out of their shrouds like mice. Thousands in
I England through such, beg now from door to
door, who have kept houesi Iionsrs. Loi'd,
j what op[M'essors, worse than Aliab, ai-e in t'ng-
lantl, which sell the poor for a pair of shoes! If
God should serve but three or four, as he did
Ahab, to make the dogs lap tlie blood of them,
I their wives, and posterity, I think it would cause
j a great number to beware of extortion."

general interest, and better materials were pro-
vided. A relative of the family, Mr. Remington,
of i'Iiil;iilol|iliiri, gave hini a box of malerials,
;uiil boini,' .-ample engravings. This was an era
in the cliilil's life. He sat over tiie bo.\- with
eyis full of delight, nor could he relinquish his
treasure whi^n iied-time approaelied, hut jjlaced
it close beside him on a chair, th.d when he
awoke at limes he might put out his liand and
satisfy himself that it was there; that liis iiappi-
riCas in possessing it was really true and not a
pleasing dream. At the early dawn he was up,
and carrying the bo.x to a room in the garret he
.-pread a ranvas, prepared a pallet and began a
copy of uijc of the engravings. Knrhaiiled by
his art lie forgot school hours and joined the
family al dinner without meidioniiig ids work
and -ludio, to whicli he however at once n-
luined, ami thus he spent several days spell-
bound with ins new found joy. The school-
master linally sent to know the cause of his
altsence, and Ids mother, at once su-^iiecting the
truth, paid the garret a visit. Tliere sat tier
truant boy, who should yet sit before kings, at
work, not upon a copy but a composition, guided
oidy by his own exalted genius and exipn'site
delicacy of sight, as keen and sure as the touch
of the true musician. He had fornu'd a [licltn-e
as complete in the arrangement of tints as the
v;oik of tlie most skillful artist. It is rarely in-
dei'd that a gifted child does not owe something
of his genius to his mother; she at least pos-
hL:,sed suilicient appreciation to lie almost as
d.li.dded as himself, and her vexation at once
disappearing slie kissed him in a transport of joy,
jaumising to intercede with his father and school-
master I hat he should not be punished. This
bioL;ia|iher, .1. Gault, says, "Sixty-seven years

His kind frieml and benefactor again called and
seeing his progress, asked that he be allowed
lo accompany him home, which was granted.
Everything in town was a surprise and a study to
the artist boy ; the shipping, paintings, books,
etc. He came home loaded with treasures and
full of new impulses. Soon other friends and
patrons found him out; Anthony Wayne (after-
wards General,) Dr. Jonatlian Morris, and a Mr.
Flower, took great interest in the now rising
artist. Mr. I'lower had a friend, Mr. Ross, a
lawyer in the town of Lmicaster, a place then of
high I'ejiute Ibr wealth, intelligence, and good
society, who invited him there to take tlie por-
traits of Mrs. Ross and his children. Having
obtained the consent of his parciils, lie acci'pliHl
the invitation. It was just the place wlieiv the
youthful artist was likely to meet with that tlat-
tering notice which is the best stimulus of juve-
nile talent ; and his success was so great from
till' numbers wauling pictures, that Ibr ipiite a
time it was dillicult lo satisfy I he demands upon
his time aii<l attention. Soon after. Dr. Smith,
of fliila.lelphia. Provost of the College, was at-
tracled |,y hi^ painting, " The Death of Socrates,"
and (ilTiicd him an oppuilunity to study classi-
cal litrialiire. I lis falhi'i- again consenting, he
well! to fliiladeliihia, liiiding his new associa-
tions there all favorable lo his advance in his one
and all-absorbing theme, the line arts. He was
now sixteen years of age, his aspirations all en-
kindled with tlie glow of youth and hope. About
this time the country was greatly excited over
liraddoek's defeat. His brother Samuel was a
militia captain, and lienjamin West himself
cauglil a little of the soldier lever, and beat
young Anthony Wayne al drill. About l7oo-(J
lie was call. Ml home lo see hisinollier pass away.
Her funeral, and the di-lrcbS which the evnit
naturally oeea-ioiied to hrr family, by all of
whom she was tenderly beloved, detained the
young artist at his father's Ibr some time. On
his return to I'liiladelphia, he again resided at
the house of his brolher-in-law, Mv. Clarkson, •

in his leisure time he was attracting- many sitters,
ami liis popularity as a portrait painltT con-
stantly increased. But lie was conscious lie
must see Ijetter pictures llian liis own if lie lioped
for distinction, and tliis induced liiin to practice
llie closest economy, with a view to spending
some time among the art galleries of I'^urope.
The care with wliich he laid by his earnings
assured him he might accompli. h lliis ere long.
His prices al this lime were two and a-lialC
gumeas for a bust portrait, and five for a hall'
lenglh. Nut long after this he visited i\ew York
on professional business, ami while Ihei-e he
heard of a vessel loading with grain for Haly, as
the crops tliere were short. On this he madi^
arrangements to sail, and directly after, one of his
l)alrons named Kelly, surprised him with the
present of lifly guineas. Embarking, he arriveil
safely at Leghorn, and proceeded from tli':'nce to
Home, his point of destination. It was during
the p(jntiiicale of Pope Rezzonico, and society in
Home was at its height and superior to that of
any cily of Christendom, from the number of ac-
complished strangers of all countries and reli-
gions, who, in constant succession, flocked to this
shrine of antiquity. lie arrived on the tenth of
July, J7iiU, and was introduced as an American
(Juaker come to study the iuie arts. This was
so unusual a thing that it reached the ears of a
Mr. Hobinson, afterwards Lord Grantham, who
al once had a strong desire to see him, and called
upon him before he had time lo dress or refresh
himself, insisting that he should dine wilh him.
W bile dining, that gentleman inquired what
letle-rs of introduction he had, and upon being
iniormed, said it was very singular, but they were
all his most intimate friends, and added that he
w as engaged to meet them that very evening and
wouM like Mr. West lo accompany him. This \
f.ivorable circumstance anil kind alli.'iilion lo him
.1.-: a siranger, were always renuMnbered by the j
aili^t as among the many pleasant incidents of
his life, which till its close he loved to recall. In j
Ihe evening Mr. Robinson conducted him to the j
house of Mr. Crispigue, an English gentleman j
\sho had long resided in Home, and where Ihe I
party was lo be held. Amr.ng Ihe di.-;liiigni^lic.i
li.;isoiis whom .Mr. .West met in the comiiaiiy,
was the celebrated Cardinal Albani, who, though
quite blind, had ae.piiicd by the exquisite deli-
cacy of his lonch ,uid the combining powers of
his miml, snili a percejUion of ancient beauty,
that he e.xcelleil all the virtuosi then in Rome in
Ihe correctness of his knowledge of the veiily
and peculiarities of the smallest medals and in-
taglios.
Mr. ttobinson conducted Mr. West lo the
inner apartmeni where Ihe Caidinal was silting,
and said, "1 have llie honor of presenting a
young Aimaican, who has a letter ol' introduc-
tion lo your iMuineme, and who has comi' lo
Italy to study Ihe line arts." The Cardinal
thinking he must be an Indian, exclaimed, -Is
he black or while ■^" and when answeiv.l llul |,e
was lair, cried still more surprised, "What! as
fair a-; I aiir':'" This la-t expression caused a
good deal of mirth at Ihe ( ;.,rdinal's expense, his
complexion being the darkest Italian olive, while
West's was unusually fair.
About Ibis time Mengs was in the -/.enilh nf
his popularity. WesI was introduced to him,
and he greatly surprised that an American should
come to l^)me lo study llie line ai't^, ■,! ,,nee re-
(piesleil thai he would show him a specimen of
his drawing. Mr. West r.'plied that he had
never learned lo draw but could paint a liltle.
It was then agreed that he should paint .Mr.
Robinson's porliait piivately, and when finished
Ihat it should be exhiiiited wilh other pi. 'lures at
a favorable time for criticism among arlisis and
good judges, without their having been informed
who Ihe artist was, so as lo oblain an opinion nf
merit only. .Mr. Ciispi-ue was one of the Iwo
hientis in'the secret, lie lived as a Roman geu-
lleman, and twice a year eiilertaine.l a grand
a-s.anl.lage at his house, all the nobility of Ihe
cily, and strangers emineid for rank, birth or
talents, being invited. It was agreed thai at one
of these pai-lies, soon to lake place, the portrait
should be exhibited. The plan was carriid onl,
and the pielnre allracted great and unu-uat, but

wasj^aid. At the most auspicious moment Ibe
aiiihMinrriiii'iit was made that the [laiiiler was
not .M. n-^, but tliat young Oualcer student from
Amerira, pointing to West. At once all eyes
were tuiiird n[)()n liim, and the Italians in their
enlhii^iaMu ran and embraced him. Thus Ihe
best judecs pronounced bini by this pidnrr oidy
seconil to Ibe first painter then in Ib.ine. .Miaigs
himsrlf, alter seeing it, gave the arli-t advirc
which h.- .'ver gratefully reuK'mbcred. If,. Inid
iiim hr h,,d no need to train painting at Heme.
"Yon have already, sir," he said, -Ihe mechani-
cal [)aii of your art. I reciinnnend you to see
and exannne our works of meiit here, make
half a do/.i'U drawings of the best statues, then
go to i'lMn^nco and see wdial lias been done for

Home and paint an liistorieal composition to be
exbibiled to Ihe Roman public, and the oiiinion

This sensible advice suited West; be decided
lo folhnv il, and did so. His intention was to
visit fiance and England on bis way back lo
America, which programme also he carried out,
and .after leaving l''rance arrived in' I.ondon,
Augu>l :!0. 17(1;!. He had no expe.'tation of re-
maining, intending lo .lev,, le his time there solely I
II 111' bad an offer of £700 per an-
iimii to puiiit hi-loi|cal subjects for the mansion
of l.ord llockingham, in Yorkshire. This and
other favorable intimations soon decided him to
remain in London, and bis means now enabling
him to support a wife, liis first thought was to
secure there the presence of one who had long
possessed his heart. This favored young lady
was Miss Shewell, of Philadelphia, and he wrote
to tiis father to bring tier to London. They had
met in her native city and fell in love after the
most ai.i])roved romantic fashion, their courtship
being attended with all the impediments and
sorrows of romani'e. Instead of barddiearled
parents, her brother in Ibis ra-e proved Ihe
tyrant. Mr. West was then poor and but little
known, and Stephen Sliewell wi^^lH■d hi.-, sister to
marry another siiilor, which, upon iier refusing
to do, the artist was lorliiddeii lo come to the
bouse. They Iheii met elsewhere and became
engaged, Mr. West deciding to vi-it Kurope and
prosecute his studies, thinking correctly this to
be the sjieediest and surest way, not only to suc-
cess in his chosen path, but to obtaining the
hand of the woman he loved. I'poii learning of
the engagement, her brollierat oiiceiocked her
ill hia- chamber uiilil alter her lover's departure
for Italy. .Mr. We4 now sent Inr his lather lo
bring .Miss Shewell to him, and she commenced
tier preparations to oliey tin- siiminons; but her
brother learning of her inteiilioiis, again confined
her in her chamber. This tyrannical treat nt
e.xcited ^reat indignation in I'liil.idelphia, where
the whole all'air became generally known, and
so wrought upon some of our greatest iiistoiical
characlers, llien residents of that city, that they
resolveil to come t,i the aid of the imprisoned
maiden. The lale l!i~liop While, then eighteen

wab evident that Providence had a hand in the

Mr. West was in waiting for Miss Shewell
w lull she arriverl, and they were mari'ied Sep-
l mher 2, 17G5, in the Church of St. Martins in
the Fields. This sketch is taken from a letter in
l.So,S, by Josopli K. Swift, M. D., of Easlon, Pa.,
to Horatio G. Jones, Esq., corresponding secretary
of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
Ileiijamiii West had a prosperous and success-
ful life in London, full of interest, and great
liwpiiiarily in his profession, lie was one of the
Kiiiy's right hand men in the formation of "The
lioyal Academy of the Arts in London," in 17(J8,

uiiiininiously elected liis successor by the mem-
ii.'i -, their idioice being soon after approved l)y

ii::.i liis own expression, "humbly declined," ad-
diiii, that il could not add to his happiness or re-
ii.)un. He is now and tlien in eiicyrlii]iedias

Our space permits us to give only an outline
of a life so full of interest, tlie only satisfactory
account lieing llie life of Henjarnin West* in two
parts; the lir-t publi-hed in ! S] C, and the second
was nearly all priiiled at llie lime of Mr. West's
last sickness. His esleeiiied wife died Decem-
ber G, 1817, having been a sufferer for several
years, and thankfulness for tier release from pain
softened the pang of sorrow for her loss, wliicli
to her linsbanii was irreparable. They had
been united for over half a century. Slu} was in
many respects a woman of elevated character.
The "last, illness of Mr. West was slow and lan-
guishing, it being rather a general decay of nature
than any specific malady.
One of the many ani'cdofi's of Mr. West may
here be given. When President Adams was
minister at the Court of St. ,lames, he often saw
Ills countryman, Penjainiii West, the late Presi-
dent of tlie [{oval Academy. .Mr. West always
retained a strong love for his native land. One
day he said to Mr. Adams, " Would you like to
take a walk wilh me and seethe cause of the
American Uevolnlidii?" A smile came over Mr,
Adams face at Ibis, and consenlin-, a lime was

there was not a sovereign in ]viro|)e so meanly

St. James looked like a stable, and that he ought:
to build him a palace suited lo his kingdom.
The King was loii.t of architecture, and would

Benjamin West, as previously stated, expired March 10, 1820, and ly the Royal Academy was given a
pulilic Funeral, and as some may he curious to know its manner and form, I inst-rt
the account giren in his life {pages 244 to 251 inclusive.)
S.ion aflcr Mr. West's decease, a deputalion |
uoiii lliL' Coiim-il ol' the Royal Academy wailed j
on lii- Mills and the execnlors, to apprise Uieiii \
of llir inli'niiuii of that body to honour the re- i
mains i.l' Iheir lale President, by attending them |
111 his f,'rave, according to tlie ceremonial adoiiled
un (he jjublic interment of the late Sir Josluia
Reynolds, in St. Paul's Calhedral. His Majesty \
having, as I'alron of the Iloyal Academy, given I
liis gi-ai:iuus sanction tliat similar honours sliould
be [laid to the late venerable President, his sons
and e.Kecutors adopted active preparations to
carry (lie arrangement into effect. xVs the
bchoola uf the Royal Academy were closeil, and
all its limctions suspended, by the death of the
late I'lv-iilent, it was of material importance on
this aicijunt, and with the view to the usual
prt paiMliiry arrangements for the annual exhibi-
lion, ilial the funeral should not be delayed;
and .1-- early a day as practicable was therefore
lixed lur the [Hiblic interment in St. I'aLil's
Calhedial. The obvious consequence, liowever,
(if this lias been, thai owing to the absence
fi-om Imvn, at this particular season, of so many
nublemeii and gentlemen of the highest rank,
and llii' indisposition of several others, many
warm ailmirers and friends of this celebrated ar-
list and amiable man, who have during his long
lilV, hmidured him with their friendship, and
wild have been particularly di'sirous iif payiii.r^
their 1,1,1 tribute of respe.'l l.i his reniaiiK, have
li.rii pi-eeluded all(;ndin- Hie fuiirral. The
c(irp,-,e was privalely bniugliL lo the Royal Acad-
emy on Tuesday evening, attended by the sons
and grandson of the deceased, and two intimate
frienils, Mr. Henderson (one of the trustees and
executors of the deceased) and Mr. Hayes (for
many years his medical attendant), was received
by the council and ofhcers of the Royal Acad-
emy, and their undertaker and his attendants,
with every mark of respect. The body was
then deiiosited in the smaller pAliibilioii-ronm,

A niornnraljle day was the lOlli of August,
Ifc'Vii, to I he Sterns, McFarlands, and tlu-ir
iiuiueiDns connections, for on that day th.ey as-
seiiiblud ill a mass pic-nic at Longwood Jleeting
Kuuse, [Last Marlboro' Townsliip, Chester county,
[\i. It was the outgrowth of a plan made by
I lie genealogist of the family, who had long been
engaged in looking up the scattered members of
his family, as well as following the I rail back-
ward lo his remote ancestors beyond the sea,
( »ii the miirning of that pleasant summer day,
all the roa(1s converging at Longwood were
thronged with "carriages of all conceivable styles
and caparilies," driving into the shaded grounds,
ail. I iiiilij.idiMg their occupants, ranging in age
from I he infant in arms to the white-headed
giand-|iariijf, all intent on enjoying llu; day, and
exihaiigi.ig greetings with the lovrd and long
alj=ent. Some iiad come from the western
burdi-r of Iowa, though no longer the sunset

ai'inalioii of those who have always inhabited

Oiicsh'r county. Pa., and nnmbL'n'd about four
hundred.
'I'he social part of the re-union was at its
iii-ight, when, about ll.u(,» o'riork, Cyrus Stern,
nf Wilmington, re(|uested (he party lo assemble
ill the house, for the purpose of hearing the
lilci'ary prodiiclions prepared for the occasion.
The meeting was called to order by Isaac P.
idcFailan, .if Kennetl, and on motion," Jacob T.
Slein, ,it l.ogan, Iowa, was call.'d lo the chair.
Tlie \'iee-r'residents were George Bowles, of Ohio,
j'.enjamin Hickman, of Philadelphia, V. S. Hick-
man, of Westchester, Millicont B. Stern, of Iowa,
Lewis 0. Stern and George Turner, of Chester
county, and L. ]\I. .Marshall, of Northbrook. The
secretaries were George M. Stern, of Cliicago,
and Mrs. M. J. Pyle, of Kennett Square.
On taking the chair, J. T. Stern made a few
[ remarks explanatory in their character as to the
I occasion then and there being celebrated, and in
which he introduced a number of happy hits in
a way peculiar lo his jacose and good natured
I manner. "A Wehome Song," wrilten for the
] occasion by J. '1'. Stern, was sung by a quartette
1 composed of M. J. Pyle, Josephine Mcl'"arland,
I George M. Stern and George McFarland.
I Sallie A. Cobourn, of West Grove, was then
I introduced, and read " A Kindly Greeting to all
I Friends." She was followed by Lewis Marshall,
1 of Northbrook, who read a paper on the subject
of "Genealogy," after which Millicent B. Stern,
I of Iowa, read a poem entitled " The Centennial,"
1 by Ilanna 11. Weldin, of Brandywine Hundred,
' Delaware. A poelical contribution from the
pen of L. .M. Marshall, of Northbrook, was next

! Square, Ihen contrilniled hershare to the literary
I treat by reading an essay. She was followed by
Cyrus Stern, of Wilmington, who gave an e.x-
panded history of the Stern Family. Lizzie
Stern, of Landenburg, followed and read a brief
essay, when J. T Stern came forward with his
I contribution, a lengthy one on our SLir-names,

Thu next featuie, and not the least interesting',
was the serving of the pic-nic dinner. Here and
theie over the grounds, groups and families, with
lliuii- guests, spread their table cloths, and loaded
llii-!ii with an abundance of such articles as go
lu iiiakf np an out-door dinner, and Ihere was
abundant evidence that appetites were not want-
ing, by the way the tempting viands disappeared.
'the alli-i'uoon was given allogetlier to socia-

ahvays a smile and clieerfLiI face lor every one
