Preface:. 
 
 For several years past I have been interested in the 
 history of the early generations of our family, who, by 
 endless toil and years of privation, have assisted to cut 
 from the forests and dig from the swamps the country 
 of which we are so justly proud. 
 
 While we are enjoying the results of their labors, 
 their memory is fast fading away and sinking in the 
 darkness of oblivion. 
 
 Time is swiftly blotting from the records those 
 whose memory we desire to perpetuate, and their his- 
 tory w^ould be lost forever if not soon gathered from 
 the fast disappearing pages. 
 
 As time has passed, family ties have grown more 
 and more uncertain, and it has been a great task to 
 gather the matter together from church, public and 
 private records, and connect them in thcii- proper 
 order. 
 
 It has been my design to collect the records of our 
 ancestors and their descendants, and present them in 
 such a manner that they may be preserved and trans- 
 mitted to posterity. 
 
 I have labored many months trying to make this 
 volume as near correct in every particular as it is pos- 
 sible to make it at this time, and the records in the fol- 
 lowing pages are probably nearer perfection than they 
 can be made by future generations. 
 
 It is a matter of painful regret that a more complete 
 
record of the early generations of the family cannot be 
 obtained. 
 
 So far as the matter contained in this volume is con- 
 cerned, I consider it very reliable, as the early names 
 and dates are taken from original sources, and the later 
 ones were supplied by those living at the present time. 
 Much information of the same character has been found 
 on many different records situated many miles apart, 
 thus makin"^ indisputable evidence of its truth. 
 
 The attention of the reader is directed to the "Old 
 Style" and "New Style" dating. The "Old Style" dat- 
 ing was in use previous to 17.")"_\ In 17.")1, the English 
 Parliament passed an act, which took eifect in 1752, es- 
 tablishing January 1st as the beginning of each year, 
 instead of March 25, adopting the Gregorian, or "New 
 Style," instead of the Julian, or "Old Style" calendar, 
 and canceling the then existing excess of eleven days 
 by making the third of September, 1752, the fourteenth. 
 All dates preceding 1752 correspond with the "Old 
 Style" and beginning with 1752, they cori'cspond with 
 the "New Style." 
 
 The pn^paration of this volume has been a pleasant 
 task. The new acquaintances which have been made 
 and friendships which have been formed are in them- 
 selves compensation for the work performed. 
 
 In the preparation of a volume of this character it 
 could not be performed without assistance from others, 
 and I desire to make acknowldgment to tlu' following 
 persons who have assisted in the collection of records: 
 To Mary Lancaster-Best, of Angola, Ind., for her un- 
 tiring interest and zeal in collecting records of numer- 
 ous branches of the family and assisting the writer in 
 various lines of the work; to Ellwood Roberts, of Nor- 
 ristown. Pa., for information contained in Part V, and 
 also for the use of several half-tone engravings from 
 "Old Richland Families"; to Elias H. Lancaster, of 
 
t*leasantville, Md., for extracts from the Friends' rec- 
 ords in Harford County, Md. : to Howard M. Jenkins, 
 of Gwynedd, Pa., for much of the information con- 
 tained in Part IE: to Mrs. Hannah Lancaster- Wa^^-ner, 
 of Toughkenamon, Pa., for information contained in 
 Part VI; to Charles Stokes, of Beverly, N. J., for 
 many items in Part IV; to John L. Longstreth, of 
 Philadelphia, for many facts contained in Part VIII; 
 to Livius A. Benedict, of Stantontown, O., for much of 
 the information contained in Part X; to Edward H. 
 Hance, of Philadeliihia, for many facts contained in 
 Part XI; to Edwin R. McCarty, of New York, and Wil- 
 son Spencer, of Galva, 111., for many items embodied in 
 Part XII; and to many other members of the fam- 
 ily who have forwarded records of their respective 
 branches. 
 
 Should this volume prove a source of profit and 
 pleasure to the reader, and help to establish the exact 
 degree of relationship existing among those who are 
 descended from the same ancestor, the labor of the au- 
 thor will have been abundantly I'e warded. 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 LANCASTER. 
 
 The Ano-lo-Saxon name, Lroirasfer, had its origin in 
 England, and all persons bearing this name trace their 
 ancestry to that country, being in all probability, de- 
 scendants from the same family. 
 
 If the reader will examine the map of England, in 
 the western part of Lancashire, a few miles north of 
 parallel 54 degrees, the llWov Lune will be found flow- 
 ing through Lancashire from the north-east and empty- 
 ing into Lancaster Bay. About seven miles from the 
 mouth of this river, on the left bank, will be found the 
 city of Lancaster, the birth-place of the name. 
 
 The city of Lancaster was the site of an old Roman 
 camp or fortress probably about the fifth century, or 
 before the arrival of the Angles and the Saxons. The 
 remains of the old Roman fortress antedating the castle, 
 and inscribed altars, tombstones and pottery, are evi- 
 dence that it was a Roman station of great import- 
 ance. 
 
 Chester, cester and caster, dialectic forms of the 
 Anglo-Saxon ceaster or caestor, are characteristic suf- 
 fixes which mark sites of Roman occupation. 
 
 The Anglo-Saxon w^ord ceaster or caestor, is derived 
 
14 THE LANCASTER FAMILY. 
 
 from the Latin word, mstni, (a camp or fortress.) 
 
 Lancaster (Angio-Saxon, Luneceaster) is the 'ceaster' 
 on the Lune, formerly the Alauna, whence the name 
 Ad Alaunam, as the old Roman station at Lancaster 
 was called. It will thus be seen that Lune camp, or 
 fortress (Lunecastra or Lunceaster), became Lancaster, 
 as we now use it. 
 
 Lancashire indicates the shire or county of Lan- 
 caster and was formed into a county Palatine from 
 Blackburnshire, Salfordshire, Amounderness and Pur- 
 ness, for the Earl of Lancaster, in the twelfth century. 
 
 The tirst person to bear the name of Lancaster, of 
 whom we have any record, was William de Taillebois, 
 Baron of Kendal, the Governor of Lancaster castle in 
 the reign of Henry II, about IIHO, who assumed the sur- 
 name of Lancaster and dropped "de Taillebois." (See 
 Note I.) William de Taillebois was a descendant of Ivo 
 de Taillebois, who went to England about the time of 
 William the Conqueror, and the supposition is that he 
 is the ancestor of all persons bearing the name of Lan- 
 caster. 
 
 There are many families in America bearing this 
 name, whose ancestors came from England at different 
 periods, but after making a thorough investigation, the 
 writer is unable to find any relaticmship existing in this 
 country between the descendants of Thomas Lancaster 
 and the numerous famihes of this name, other than 
 those mentioned in this volume. The connecting links 
 would no doubt be found in England if we were able to 
 trace the various pedigrees. 
 
CHAPTER II. 
 
 THE FRIENDS AT RICHLAND. 
 
 The religious Society of Friends occupies a promi- 
 nent position in the history of the Lincaster family. 
 
 Not only were the early members of the family in 
 America members of this Society, but we lind the name 
 Lifiicdsfcr appearing on the records in Engdand from the 
 earliest history of the Society. 
 
 The Society of Friends ( commonly known as 
 "Quakers") is a body of Christian professors which 
 arose in England about the middle of the seventeenth 
 century. From their first appearance they sutfered 
 much persecution, and in 10 U they were forbidden to 
 assemble for religious worship under penalty of fines, 
 imprisonment and banishment. 
 
 On account of the persecutions in England, many of 
 the Friends came to America and settled largely in the 
 New England and Middle States, especially in Pennsyl- 
 vania (Penn's Woods), wliich colony was founded by 
 William Penn, a noted minister in the Society. 
 
 Many of the Friends settled in Bucks county, Penn- 
 sylvania, in the vicinity known as the "Great Swamp," 
 in 171(», and as they had previously belonged to various 
 monthly meetings located at some distance from their 
 new homes, they held their meetings at the homes of 
 the settlers or visited their respective meetings, mak- 
 ing the journey on horseback. 
 
 Many of the Friends were members of Gwynedd 
 Monthly Meeting, of Montgomery county, and finding 
 
16 THE LANCASTER FAMILY. 
 
 it a great distance to travel to attend their meetings, 
 they obtained permission from Gwynedd Montiily 
 Meeting to liold Richland Preparative Meeting in ITi'l. 
 
 In 17'2ij a small meeting house was erected on the 
 road to Philadelphia, about a mile from the present 
 site. On account of the increase in numbers, it became 
 necessary to build a new meeting house in 1780, which 
 was built on the present site. The land was leased 
 from Morris Morris, and in 1759 he deeded ten acres of 
 land to thi> meeting. The meeting house was then in 
 the center of the settlement, but the town has since 
 grown toward the east, so that it is now located at the 
 western extremity of Quakertown, by which name the 
 town is now known. In 1742, Richland Monthly Meet- 
 ing was granted by the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, 
 and in 1741) an extension was made to the meeting 
 house. It was again enlarged a few years later, and in 
 Isdi* it was torn down and the present house erected 
 the same year. 
 
 Among the early members of Richland Monthly 
 Meeting were many of the ancestors of those who be- 
 came connected with the Lancaster family by marriage. 
 
 What was once a wooded meadow covered with 
 water and swamps is now occupied by the flourishing 
 city of Quakertown. The city receives its name from 
 the early inhabitants many of whom were Quakers. 
 Its former designation, "The Great Swamp," has long- 
 ago disappeared, but the name of "Richland Monthly 
 Meeting" remains unchanged. The exact time when 
 the town began to be called Quakertown is unknown, 
 but it was probably about the time of the Revolution- 
 ary War. 
 
 But a small portion of the present population are 
 Friends, and many other denominations have sprung

 up and built churches. From a hamlet of a few houses, 
 it has grown to a town of over three thousand inhabi- 
 tants, and its well paved streets and sidewalks bear no 
 trace of the "Great Swamp" of two centuries ago. 
 
 There are numerous industries located in the town 
 employing hundreds of men, and the product of some 
 of these industries is shipped to various parts of the 
 United States. Many of the old dweUings erected by 
 the early settlers are still standing, but the old home of 
 Thomas Lancaster disappeared many years ago. Since 
 their earliest existence the Society of Friends has kept 
 a complete record of their various transactions, also a 
 record of their members, with dates of births, deaths, 
 marriages and removals, which are still preserved, and 
 are a marvel of accuracy, to which we are indebted for 
 much of the information concerning the early genera- 
 tions of the family to be found in the following pages. 
 
CHAPTER III. 
 
 THOMAS LANCASTER. 
 
 Among the early settlers in Pennsylvania was John 
 Chapman, who, with his wife and family, emigrated to 
 America in 16^4 and located in Wrightstown Township, 
 Bucks County. Previous to 1(384 he had resided in 
 Yorkshire, England. He joined the Society of Friends 
 and married therein Jane Saddler, in 1(370. By profes- 
 sion he was a surveyor. He was the largest landowner 
 in Wrightstown Township, and before his death in 1(3*. 14, 
 he had acquired at least one half of the lands of that 
 township. 
 
 John and Jane Chapman were the parents of several 
 children; their second child, Ann, was born the iHtli of 
 the 8d mo. Kwl). and died in 1732-8. She became an es- 
 teemed minister in the Friends' Society. She began to 
 travel in the ministry in 1701), and made several relig- 
 ious visits to England with approval. 
 
 Upon her return from England in May or June, 1711- 
 12, after one of such gospel journeys, she brought with 
 her Thomas Lancaster, a youth about nine years of 
 age, who became the ancestor of those mentioned in 
 this volume. The writer has been unable to ascertain 
 the names of the parents of Thomas Lancaster, 
 although a diligent search has been made in all records, 
 in England and the United States, that would likely 
 contain the information desired. (See Note II.) 
 
 Of his early life in Bucks County we have no infor- 
 mation. 
 
THOMAS LANCASTER 1'-^ 
 
 On the lUth of the (Sth mo., 17:^'), he imirried iMicljc 
 Warden, in the Wri|?htstown meeting of Friends. She 
 appears to have been a resident of Wrightstown at that 
 time. It is the first recorded marriage on the records 
 of Buckingham and Wrightstown meeting of Friends, 
 and their certificate shows the names of forty-two wnt- 
 nesses. (See Note III.) 
 
 Phebe was a daughter of John Wardell, a native of 
 Wales. He was a minister in the Society of Friends, 
 and came with his daughter, Phebe, to North America, 
 and settled at Boston. He afterwards removed to 
 Wrightstown, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Phebe is said to have been a beautiful woman, bright 
 and intelligent. Thomas and Phebe Lancaster were 
 both ministers in the Society of Friends. They resided 
 at Wrightstown until about 1740, when they removed 
 to Richland Township in Bucks County, which brought 
 them within the verge of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting of 
 Friends. The minutes of that meeting, 2'Mi. of M 
 month, 1742, state that "Thomas Lancaster produced a 
 certiticate for himself and wife from Wrightstown 
 monthly meeting, giving a good account of their lives 
 and conversation and edifying ministry, which was read 
 and well received." On the establishment of Richland 
 Monthly Meeting, in 1742, they became members of 
 that Monthly Meeting. On the IDth of "id month, 1750, 
 Thomas Lancaster obtained permission of th(^ Richland 
 Monthly Meeting to pay a religious visit to Friends on 
 the Islands of Barbadoes and Tortola in the West Indies. 
 
 Peter Pearson, of Burlington, New Jersey, also ob- 
 tained liberty from his Meeting for a similar service. 
 
 In July, 17')0, in company with John Bringhurst, a 
 member of Philadelphia Meeting, they sailed for Bar- 
 badoes Islands, which they reached the latter part of 
 
20 THE LANCASTER FAMILY. 
 
 August or the first of September. 
 
 John Bringhurst seems to have been in decUning 
 healtli. As appears by certificates from tlie Meeting on 
 Barbadoes Island, dated 6tli of tlie 7tli mo., 1750, tlie 
 service of these ministers was acceptable to the Friends 
 there. 
 
 On the yoth of the 7tli month, the death of John 
 Bringhurst occurred. Soon after his death. Thomas 
 Lancaster and Peter Fearson obtained passage to Tor- 
 tola Island, where they labored fervently, as shown by 
 certificates granted by the meeting held there on the 
 l<)th of the 8th month, 1750. 
 
 As their work was completed on the Island they took 
 passage homeward. 
 
 The health of Thomas Lancaster had become im- 
 paired by the climate on the Islands, and he died on his 
 way home and was buried at sea. (See Note IV. ) 
 
 The "Collection of Memorials" of deceased ministers 
 and others, printed by Joseph Cruikshank, Philadel- 
 phia, in 17i-i7, contains the following testimony from 
 Richland Monthly Meeting, concerning Thomas Lan- 
 caster : 
 
 "About ten years of the latter part of his time, he 
 was a member of this meeting. He was sound in the 
 ministry, and exercised his gift therein with great fer- 
 vency and zeal, his life and conversation corresponding 
 therewith. 
 
 In the second month 17."')0, he laid before our meet- 
 ing his concern to visit friends on the Islands of Bar- 
 badoes and Tortola, which the meeting approved of, 
 and gave him a certificate in order thereto. Towards 
 the latter end of the same year he performed said visit, 
 and had good service there, as appeared by certificates 
 from Friends on each of the said islands. 
 
From "Old Richlimd Families," by Ellwood Roberts. 
 
THOMAS LANCASTKH. 21 
 
 On his return homewards it pleased Divine Provi- 
 dence to visit him with sickness, of which he died at 
 sea; his removal beini>- deeply felt and lamented by his 
 family and friends at home." 
 
 Thomas Lancaster owned a farm of 480 acres, which 
 he purchased March 16, 1741. It was located about one 
 mile east of the Friends' meeting house at Richland, 
 now Quakertown. Tohickon Creek and Muddy Run 
 flow through the farm, and Licking Run empties into 
 Muddy Run a short distance from where the old house 
 formerly stood. 
 
 The western half of the farm is now included within 
 the eastern limits of Quakertown. 
 
 After the death of Thomas Lancaster the farm was 
 divided into eleven tracts, as shown by the diagram of 
 the farm on another page. 
 
 Benjamin Roberts owned part of the tract which has 
 been cut up into town lots, and Penrose, his son, owns 
 the lot on which the old house was located. Benjamin 
 Roberts erected a new dwelling near the site of the old 
 home of Thomas Lancaster, but nearer the road which 
 leads from Quakertown to New^town. 
 
 On the 17th of the lOth month, 1752, Phebe, widow of 
 Thomas Lancaster, was united in marriage with Sam- 
 uel Thomas. We have no record of his death or of any 
 children. 
 
 On May 4, 17r)7, Phebe Thomas married John Titus, 
 of Hempstead, Queens County, New York, as shown by 
 the records of Wrightstown Monthly Meeting. 
 
 He was born at Westbury, Long Island, 5th month 
 28, 1698, and died 5th month 28, 1757, only twenty-four 
 days after his marriage to Phebe Thomas. 
 
 His will was made at Westbury, February 16, 1757, 
 and a codicil was added 5th mo. 17, 1757, in which his 
 
22 THE LANCASTER FAMILY. 
 
 wife, Phebe, is mentioned. Prom the witnesses to the 
 codicil it appears that he died of small-pox. John Titus 
 had been married previously to Sarah, daughter of 
 George Pearsall, who died 1st month 2M, 1758, leaving- 
 six children, the youngest of whom was born 1st month 
 y, 1743. 
 
 Phebe Titus married as her fourth husband, 
 
 Way, of Long Island. The date of this marriage is un- 
 Icnown to the writer, but as her name appears as Phebe 
 Way on the marriage certificate of her son, Aaron Lan- 
 caster, her marriage to Way must have taken place 
 prior to that of her son's, which occurred on the 17th 
 of the 9th month, 1707. 
 
 After the death of her last husband, she returned to 
 Richland and spent the remainder of her life with her 
 son, John Lancaster, at the old homestead, where she 
 died in her ninety-sixth year.

 ter were:

 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 History of Benjamin, the Fourth Child of 
 Thomas and Phebe Wakdell-Lancaster, and 
 His Descendants. 
 
 Benjamin Lancaster was born at "Wrightstown, 
 Bucks County, Pa. , 12th nio. ;]1 , 1 7;]1 . He married Rachel 
 Barlow, whose parents had emigrated to America from 
 Wales. She was born 3rd mo. ord, 172s, and died ord 
 mo. nth, islo. She was buried in the Friends' burying 
 ground at Little Falls, Harford County, Maryland. 
 Benjamin received thirty -nine acres of land as his share 
 of his father's estate. There is no record showing how 
 or wdien he conveyed his allotment of his father's real 
 estate, but it was the in-operty of Jacob Freed at the 
 death of the latter in ITs"). In December, 1S22, he pur- 
 chased a tract of land in Bedminster township, on which 
 he resided until 1761, when he sold it and shortly after 
 removed to Maryland. He settled in the northeastern 
 part of Harford County in the vicinity of Deer Creek 
 Monthly Meeting of Friends. 
 
 On the records of Deer Creek Monthly Meeting under 
 date of 2nd of Oth mo. 170s, we find that Rachel Lan- 
 caster, wife of Benjamin, was received on a certificate 
 from Richland Monthly Meeting, dated 2nd of ^th mo. 
 17(iH. In 1770 Benjamin removed his family to the 
 southwestern i^art of the county, near the Gunpowder 
 Monthly Meeting. At a meeting held at Gunpowder

 of Benjamin and the best account we have of him is 
 contained in the manuscript of Kachel Lancaster-Ben-

 Rachel Barlow-Ijancaster, was born 3rd mo. 1st, 1751, 
 in Bucks County, Pa. He removed with his parents to 
 Harford County, Md., when a small boy. He learned 
 the shoemakers' trade, which was then a lucrative' busi- 
 ness. He owned a farm of U^'>i acres which h<' pur- 
 chased from the state of Maryland. (kSee Note VI. ) 
 
 He was married three times. His first wife w^as Con- 
 stance Malsby, who died without issue. In the minutes 
 of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting under date of Sth mo. 
 26th, 1772, w^e find the following record concerning the 
 marriage of Jesse Lancaster and Constance Malsby: 
 "Jesse Lancaster having gone out in marriage, this 
 meeting appoints Oliver Mathews and William Parrish 
 to produce some lines in order to testify against that

 practice." Under date of 9th mo. :^3, 1772, in the above 
 minutes, we iind the following: "The paper being 
 produced in order to testify against Jessie Lancaster's 
 outgoing in uiarriage, which was put in the hands of 
 William Bull in order to be read at the close of a first- 
 day meeting at Little Falls : Whereas, Jesse Lancaster 
 had a right among the people called Quakers, but hath 
 gone out in marriage w'ith one not of our Society, which 
 practice w^e testify against and disown him, the said 
 Jesse Lancaster from being any longer a meniber of 
 our Society until he comes to a sight and sense of his 
 misconduct and condemns the same to the satisfaction 
 of this meeting, which that he may is our desire. 
 Given forth from our Monthly Meeting at Gunpowder 
 23rd of 9th mo. 1772." 
 
 At a Monthly Meeting held at Gunpowder 26th of "ith 
 mo. 1773, "Jesse Lancaster attended this Meeting and 
 offered a paper condemning his outgoing in marriage, 
 which is by this Meeting received : ' Whereas I, Jesse 
 Lancaster, having gone out in marriage disagreeable to 
 the rules of the Friends, and having broken good order 
 in so doing, for which I am sorry, and sincerely desire 
 that the Friends may pass it by and receive me again 
 iiito membership, is the sincere acknowledgment.

 At the same meeting, "Constance Malsby-Lancaster 
 having for some time been under care of the Little 
 Falls Meeting, and agreeable to their request, she is 
 now received a member of this Meeting."

 "The friends appointed to draw some lines in order to 
 testify against Joseph Lancaster have produced them 
 to this meeting as follows: 
 
 "Whereas, Joseph Lancaster hath had a birthright 
 among friends, but fcr want of knowing a true estab- 
 lishment on the sure foundation, hath erred so far as 
 to accomplish marriage with one not in profession, by 
 the assistance by a priest, for which breach of good 
 order we testify against him and disown him, the said 
 Joseph Lancaster from being any longer a member in 
 unity with us, the people called Quakers, until he con-

 his father and was an approved minister in the Society 
 of Friends and a member of Richland Monthly Meet-

 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 History of Joseph, the Eighth Child of Thomas 
 AND Phebe Wardell-Lancaster. 
 
 Joseph Lancaster, the eighth child of Thomas and 
 Phebe was born at Wrightstown, Penn. 8th month, 21, 
 1738. It does not appear that he was a member of 
 Richland Monthly Meeting, within whose limits his 
 parents removed when he was a small child. On July 
 25, 1760, he presented a certificate to Philadelphia 
 Monthly Meeting of Friends, which was issued by 
 Wrightstown Monthly Meeting in Bucks County. On 
 June 26, 1772 he left Philadelphia and seems to have 
 been hving in the State of New York. On August 30, 
 1776, a certificate was sent from Philadelphia Monthly 
 Meeting to Nine Partners Monthly Meeting in Dutchess 
 County, New York, where he then resided. He was 
 unmarried at the time the certificate was given. On 
 February 19, 1777, the marriage of Joseph Lancaster 
 and Mary Soule-Shearman, a widow, was reported to 
 Oblong Monthly Meeting, as having been accomplished. 
 The exact date of the marriage is not known, but it oc- 
 curred not more than thirty days prior to the above 
 date. A committee was appointed 1st month, 9, 1777, 
 'to see that the rights of the widow's children are 
 secured. ' In the first register of Oblong Monthly 
 Meeting, page 7, we find that Mary, daughter of George 
 
184 THE LANCASTER FAMILY. 
 
 and Avis Soule, and Joshua, son of Ebenezer and Wait 
 Sherman, were married 8th month, 10, 1757. On page 
 111, of above records, we find: "Joshua Sherman, 
 minister, of Pogh Quaick, died 9th month, s, 1770, aged 
 40, minister for seven years. " Mary Soule-Shearman 
 was born 3rd month, 31, 1732, and was about forty-five 
 years of age at the time of her marriage with Joseph 
 Lancaster, having been a widow ahnost seven years. 
 The Oblong Monthly Meeting records show that Joshua 
 and Mary Soule-Shearman were the jiarents of six 
 children, the youngest having been born one month 
 and fifteen days after the death of its father. There is 
 no mention of any children of Joseph and Mary Lan- 
 caster in the Oblong Meeting records and the wilter 
 is unable to find any record of any descendants. 
 Joseph Lancaster received forty-two and one-half

 History of Isaac, the Tenth Child of Thomas 
 
 AND PhEBE WAKDELL LANCASTER. 
 
 Isaac Lancaster was born the 4th of I'Jth month, 
 1742. After the death of his father, he received forty- 
 one and three-fourths acres of the farm at Richhind as 
 his share of the estate. His allotment was owned by 
 his brother John in 170s as shown by a conveyance of 
 Moses Lancaster's tract adjoinino-. On September U, 
 176o, he presented a certificate from Wrightstown 
 Monthly Meetin<f of Friends to Philadeli^hia Monthly 
 Meetins^-. He was then unmarried. He died in Phila- 
 delpliia, D(^cember lo, 1771, as shown by the Friends' 
 records. These few words contain all we are able to 
 find on record concerning this member of the family, 
 who died in the prime of life. There is no evidence to 
 show that he was ever married. The above record was 
 found after a long and tiresome search and the writer 
 is of the opinion that he left no descendants. In a let- 
 ter written by Charles Stokes, in issi, he is represented 
 as a cabinet maker. No tradition of him is left and his 
 existence has long been forgottn. His i^lace of burial 
 is unknown.

 services and decided to locate his family upon it. He 
 returned to his home in Connecticut to make arrange- 
 ments for their removal and after getting his family 
 and goods started in wagons with ox-teams, he rode 
 ahead on horseback to prepare a temporary shelter for 
 them. The family reached their destination, where 
 they learned that the husband and father had not yet 
 arrived. After making a vain search, his fate remained 
 a mystery, and the family of children found homes 
 among the hospitable people of that section. Elijah

 Aaron Lancaster Benedict, son of Aaron and 
 Esther, was born July 13, 1S()4, near Lake Champlain, 
 in Peru, Clinton County, New Yorlv. Eiglit years later 
 his father removed to Ohio and settled in an unbroken 
 forest in the soutliern part of wliat is now Morrow 
 County. The advanta|j:es of pioneer life were few and 
 scliool privileges were limited, but his intense thirst 
 for knowledge made him a close student, and by con- 
 tinued home study and research, he obtained a liberal 
 education, and gained in later years a fair standing 
 with the men of letters of liis thuc He was converted 
 at the age of seventeen and often spoke in later life of 
 the christian teaching and counsel that he received 
 from his i)arents in his youth. In 1850 he was record- 
 ed as a minister of the Gospel by Alum Creek Monthly 
 Meeting of the Orthodox Friends. 
 
 He traveled extensively among Friends, visiting, in 
 the love of Christ, the churches in Ohio, Indiana, New 
 Yorl^, Michigan, New England, and Canada. In his 
 ministry he was earnest, fearless and loving, his words 
 being well chosen, logical and convincing. While en- 
 gaged in the ministry he was stricken with paralysis of 
 the brain, which three years later resulted in his death, 
 June 25, 1867. 
 
 In 1.S02, he and John Butler, of Damascus, Ohio, were 
 chosen by Ohio Yearly meeting of Friends to visit 
 President Lincoln and intercede in behalf of Friends 
 who might be drafted into the army. They were suc- 
 cessful in their mission and members of the Society of 
 Friends were exempt from bearing arms on account of 
 their jirinciples of peace. He imbibed from his parents 
 very decided anti-slavery ijrinciples, and having seen

 in boyhood the protoctin.'^: care extended to the fu^'itive 
 from bondage by them, his own home, in hiter years, 
 became a refuge for slaves seeking a land of freedom. 
 Many hundreds were thus cared for and forwarded on 
 their way. His ready pen and gifts of poetry and elo- 
 quence were unsparingly used in advocating the cause 
 of the oppressed African, and anti-slavery papers con- 
 tained many contributions from his pen. 
 
 (See Note XXII. ) He numbered among his valued 
 correspondents, William Lloyd Garrison, Joshua R. 
 Giddings, Levi Cottin, Samuel Rhodes and John G. 
 Whittier. A warm friendship with the latter, begin- 
 ning with the interchange of sentiments, was strength- 
 ed into a lasting attachment by a visit to the home of 
 Whittier while traveling in New England. He married

NOTEB. 
 
 The following pedigree shows the early descendants of Ivo de Taillebois, 
 from whom the Lancaster family is descended. It is compiled from various 
 English historical and genealogical works. 
 
 (1.) Ivo DE Taillebois was the third son of Renfrid Taillehose, of Nor- 
 mandy. C. 10.=i(). whose issue was as follows: 
 
 I. Ralph Paillebosc. Viscount of Bedford, etc., 1086. 
 
 II. William Taillebosc. of Lincoln, 1086. 
 
 III. Ivu Taillebosc. of Lincoln and Norfolk, 1086. 
 
 IV. Gilbert Fitz Kenfrid. 
 
 The name Taillehose. or Taillebois. signifies ■'Woodcutter." 
 
 Ivo de Taillebois is also represented as being a bi'other to Faulk, Earl of 
 Anjou, France. He was among the followers of Duke William, of Normandy 
 (William the Conqueron who invaded England in 1066. 
 
 He shared in the distribution of lands among the French barons, and received 
 the Barony of Kendal as his allotment of the spoils. It consisted of a large por- 
 tion of Northern Lancashire and Southern Westmoreland. He also held the 
 Barony of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. He married Lucia, daughter of ^Ifgar, 
 and grand-daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, by whom he received all the 
 ancient domains of the family of ^Elfgar, thus making him one of the most 
 influential nobles in England in his day. Lucia was a sister to Edwin and 
 Morcar, dukes of Mercia and Northumberland, also a sister to Ealdyth. who 
 man-ied Harold, king of England. 
 
 (2.) Eldbed, second Baron of Kendal, married Adigitha. 
 
 (3.) Ketel, son of Eldred, third Baron of Kendal, married Christiana. 
 
 Their children were: 
 I. Gilbert. 
 II. William. 
 III. Alan. 
 
 IV. Orme, Lord of Seaton, who married Gunilda, daughter of Cos- 
 patrick. 
 
 (4.) Gilbert, son of Ketel. fourth Baron of Kendal, married Beatrix, 
 daughter of Ribald, of Middlebain. brother of Alan, Earl of East Anglia. 
 
 (.5.) William Ta llebois. .son of Gilbert, fifth Baron of Kendal, married 
 Gundred, daughter of William de Warren, second Earl of Surry, and widow of 
 Roger de Newburg Earl of Warwick. 
 
 Aecordmg to Dugdale, the eminent English anticjuarian, he was governor of 
 Lancaster Castle during the reign of Henry II, about 1180. He assumed the sur- 
 name of Lancaster, which was derived through his connection with the castle of 
 that name.

 Why Thomas Lancaster was brought to America in his youth is a matter of 
 conjecture. It has long been the tradition of the family that his mother was a 
 widow with several children to support, and she probably consented to the emi- 
 gration of her son to America, Vcnowing he would receive better care and attention 
 here than she could bestow upon him. 
 
 The name of Thomas Lancaster is not found on the records of the Friends' 
 Society in England, and it is not known whether his parents were Friends. In 
 the minutes of Warwickshire meeting, reference is made to "Widow Lancaster's 
 children who went beyond the sea." 
 
 There are also several entries on the various parish registers in England, but 
 it is a difficult matter to determine whether the.\ have reference to the ancestor 
 of this family. How Thomas Lancaster was related to the Chapman or Saddler 
 families, if at all, has not been ascertained. It is quite probable that he was of 
 the same lineage as James Lancaster, of Walney Isle, companion of George 
 Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends. 
 
 (See George Fox's journal.)

 The following interesting account of the marriage of Thomas and Phebe Lan- 
 caster is taken from the records of Buckingham Monthly Meeting of Friends. At 
 the time of this marriage Wrightstown and Buckingham were one meeting, being 
 located about six miles apart. The meetings were held alternately at each place. 
 
 "At our monthly meeting held at Buckingham for Buckingham and Wrights- 
 town, the 7th of the 7th mo. 1725: 
 
 "At this meeting Thomas Lancaster and Phebe Wardell declared their inten- 
 tions of marriage with each other it being the first time, the meeting appoints 
 John Verity & John Penquite to inquire into the sd Thomas Lancaster's clear- 
 ness in relation to marriage & conversation & make report thereof next meeting." 
 
 "At a monthly meeting held at Wrightstown for Buckingham & Wrightstown 
 the .5th of ye 8th mo. 1725: 
 
 "Att this meeting Thomas Lancaster & Phebe Wardell declared their inten- 
 tions of marriage with each other it being the second time the sd Thomas 
 Produced a note from the sd Phebe's Parents of their consent therefore this 
 meeting leaves them to their Liberty to consumate their sd intentions according 
 to Truth the meeting appoints John Laycock and John Parsons to see it decently 
 accomplished and make Report to next meeting. '" 
 
 "Att our monthly meeting held at Buckingham for Buckingham and Wrights- 
 town the 2nd day of the 9th mo. 1725: The Friends that were appointed to tend 
 the marriage of Thomas Lancaster Report it was decently accomplished."

 Harry Fred Lancaster, of Columbia City, Indiana, has in his possession what 
 are probably the only remaining relics that were once the property of Thomas 
 Lancaster, the ancestor of this family in America. They consist of four pewter 
 plates. Before leaving Tortola Island on his homeward cruise, Thomas Lancas- 
 ter purchased six pewter plates with the intention of presenting them to his 
 
NOTES. 
 
 275 
 
 daughter, Phebe, who was then about seventeen years of age. The plates were 
 carried home to the family by the captain of the vessel. They became the prop- 
 erty of Jane Roberts-Ashton, daughter of Phebe Lancaster- Roberts, and they 
 eventually descended to her daughter, Sarah Ashton, who died about 1887', at an 
 advanced age. In a letter dated July 18, 1874, to a member of the family, Sarah 
 A.shton gives the history of the plates, and also says she has the plates in her 
 possession '-just as good as when they landed in America." After her death, four 
 of the plates became the property of M. H. Eshleman, son of Martm Eshleman, 
 an adopted heir of Sarah Ash'.on, from whom they were secured by their presene 
 owner. The plates are about nine inches in diameter and bear stamps of "John 
 TowNSE.<D," "Made in London,' and .several other smaller undecipherable 
 marks. 
 
 The following letter and poem was found among the papers of Jane McCarty- 
 Ogden, which evidently w is written to Phebe, wife of Thomas Lancaster, on the 
 death of her husband, by Theophilus Foulke, about 1750: 
 
 To Phebe Lancaster: 
 
 Fbiend— As the virtue is the greatest ornament of human life,, so zeal for the 
 promotion of piety and advancement of God's truth in the world is the greatest 
 glory of a Christian. And it is these qualifications alone that renders men truly 
 honourable and worthy of praise in this world. 
 
 Now that thy late husband was such I need not say, for that thou undoubtedly 
 knowest by long experienf^e far beyond what I can express, yet considering (the 
 high opinion which I have conceived of his rare qualities, I thought not amiss to 
 penn the following lines as an encomium of his merit and true worth. 
 
 Be pleased therefore to accept the truths contained in the following sketches 
 as a slender specimen of my esteem for him: 
 
 Bestow your audience, you that love 
 To hear true merit praised, 
 "Whilst my weak muse in feeble rhyme 
 Her slender voice doth raise. 
 
 To singtheexequires of one 
 Whose name deserves a place 
 Among the records of the just, 
 Whose virtues paths did trace. 
 
 Whose Godly life and pios deeds 
 Deserves to be enrolled 
 In virtues list in whose defense 
 He was a valiant, bold. 
 
 Who for religion, sacred cause. 
 Did cross the raging main 
 Whose roaring billows terrors strike 
 Where horrors want to reign. 
 
 Where waves on waves doth roll aloft, 
 And a-ulph on gulph appear. 
 And claps of thunder threatening 
 To rend the hemisphere. 
 
276 THE LANCASTER FAMILY. 
 
 With storms of wind, hail and rain. 
 Presage of gloomy fate. 
 These perils great could in nowise 
 His heart intimidate. 
 
 Triumphing o'er the seas of wreck, 
 His zeal to (lod was such 
 As drew him to the Indies 
 To visit there, the church. 
 
 Accordingly he guarded was. 
 From all those free. 
 So incidental unto those 
 Who traverse the seas. 
 
 His courage dwells not In ambition, 
 Pride, nor glory, vain. 
 But in the confidence he had 
 That God would him sustain. 
 
 Aeolus's propitious gale 
 
 Did gently waft o'er. 
 
 Unto the port where he was bound 
 
 Prom Philadelphia's shore. 
 
 Escaping the devouring waves, 
 The shore did safely reach : 
 Preserved Viy God's Providence, 
 The gospel there to preach. 
 
 Where, when arrived he did not spare 
 
 To labor in the church. 
 
 Foi to reclaim entangled man 
 
 Out of the Devil's lurch. 
 
 His weapons were of spirit made, 
 They were made both sharp and keen. 
 And pity tempered for to bang 
 The Sturdy man of sin. 
 
 Yet his doctrine like the dew. 
 
 So sweetly did distill. 
 
 Each mournful and disconsolated soul 
 
 With joy did fill. 
 
 His exortations. seasoned with 
 Benevolence and love, 
 That he was qualified of God, 
 Sufficiently doth prove. 
 
 His message having there discharged, 
 His errand there performed: 
 Having well acquit himself, 
 Then home wards he returned. 
 
NOTES. -" 
 
 But ere he reached his native soil 
 Pale death did him arrest. 
 And summoned him to leave this world 
 And enter into rest. 
 
 He having fought the fight of faith, 
 Which never brings remorse. 
 He peacefully resigned his breath 
 And finished his course. 
 
 Thus died he and offered up 
 His soul to God that saves, 
 And his remains were decently 
 Committed to the waves. 
 
 Now in remembrance of this love 
 Of his, may I presume 
 Here to inscribe an epitaph 
 Upon his watery tomb. 
 
 Here lies the body of the man 
 That was sent forth of God, 
 For to reclaim and gather home 
 Poor sinners from abroad. 
 
 Here lies the body of the man 
 Whose mission was to preach 
 Repentance to backsliding souls, 
 And the ignorant to teach. 
 
 And tho' by gravitations lans 
 His body sinketh down, 
 His soul ascendeth unto God 
 There to receive a crown. 
 
 A royal diadem to wear 
 With saint and angels then. 
 To join the chorus of God's praise 
 Forevermore, Amen.

 The following sketch of Benjamin Lancaster is taken from a manuscript 
 written by Rachel Lancaster-Benson, daughter of Jesse Lancaster, and grand- 
 daughterof Benjamin Lancaster. * * * Benjamin (Lancaster), my 
 grandfather, married Rachel Barlow, whose parents came from Wales, and had 
 five children: Jesse (mj father), Joseph, Ann, Benjamin and Nathan. They 
 removed to Miryland about the close of the Revolutionary War, I judge, and 
 before any of the children were married. 
 
 I cannot tell whether he bought the land, or it was granted to him, how- 
 ever he owned several hundred acres thereabout, made the first improvement 
 at the White House (in Harford County, Maryland) and lived there long after

 The extract shown below taken from a letter written in 1881, by Charles 
 Stokes, then ninty yeai's of age. will no doubt be of great interest to the reader. 
 The letter gives some very valuable information concerning the relationship 
 existing between Thomas Lancaster, the ancestor of this family, and Joseph 
 Lancaster, the noted English Educator, who came to America in 1818. The letter 
 is evidently carefully compared with notes taken at the time of the interview 
 with Joseph Lancaster. The time of the interview is thoroughly substantiated 
 by the records of the Burlington (N. J.) Monthly Meeting of Friends, which 
 shows that a certificate was received from Southwark Monthly Meeting, of 
 London, for Joseph's wife: "Elizabeth Lancaster, a member of this meeting, 
 having gone with her husband, Joseph Lancaster, to settle in America, we recom- 
 mend h(!r with her daughter. Elizalieth, aged about 13 years, to your tender care 
 and oversight." The certificate is signed by thirty-three Friends, and dated the 
 13th of 10th mo. 1818. (See Encyclopedia for biography of Jo.seph Lancaster). 
 Probably the only discrepancy to be noted in the letter is the mention of Lydia 
 Lancaster as being the wife of James Lancaster. The records of Swarthmoro 
 Monthly Meeting, F^ngland. of which meeting James Lancaster and wife members, 
 shows that the name of James Lancaster's wife was Margaret. The same re- 
 cords give the names of some of their children: Dinah, born 11th mo. 28, 16.56; 
 Deborah, born 4th mo. 7. 1660: and Elishah, born 2nd mo. 1(5. 1664. Among the 
 christenings in the Dalton Parish Kegister, which included Walnev Island, we 
 find: Ismael, son of James Lancaster, of Northscale, was christened in June, 
 16.53. The latter wa.s christened before James Lancaster became a member of the 
 Friends' Society. Lydia Lansaster was a prominent Friend's minister, in Eng- 
 land. The Lancaster Monthly Meeting records show that she was the widow of 
 Bryan Lancaster, and died .5th mo. 30. 1761. aged 77 years. It was thus impossible 
 for her to have been the vvife of James Lancaster, who died 4th mo. 13, 1699, at 
 Ulvestone, England. If Thomas Lancaster, the ancestor of this family, was a 
 grandson of James Lancaster, he was probably the son of either Ismael or

 Elishah, sons of James Lancaster. The writer has been unable to trace their 
 descendants. The folio win^;: letter was written to Mrs. Mary L. Best, of Angola, 
 Indiana, who still has it in her possession:

 2nd. mo. 1, 1881. 
 Mary Lancaster Best: A letter written by thee, directed to Moses Lancaster, 
 dated 1st mo. :M,1880, within a few days, has been forwarded to me, (by Edward 
 Hance, his grandson, Moses the grandfather, having departed this life,) with a 
 request that I should furnish such information as I have in regard to the 
 genealogy of the Bucks Co., Penn. Lancaster family. I have read thy letter 
 with much interest— perceive striking traits of character which signally distin- 
 guish the family -so much so— that I felt quite disposed to address thee as a 
 dear cousin. Such I recognize thee— and will endeavor to give such information 
 upon the several subjects of thy letter as I possess: 
 
 In the year 1818 I met at the home of my parents, David and Ann Stokes, at 
 
 Rancocas, Joseph Lancaster, of England, (lately arrived) the celebrated author 
 
 of the '-Lancastrian System of Education.'" He brought with him, one or more 
 
 letters written by my great-grandfather, Thomas Lancaster, of Buclcs Co., Pa., to 
 
 Joseph's grandfather or great-aunt, who was his, Thomas', brother or sister, thus 
 
 making Joseph and my mother second cousins. I understand also that Joseph 
 
 Lancaster's grandfather and Thomas Lancaster's father is the same- and was 
 
 the son of James and Lydia Lancaster, Minister of the Society of Friends in the 
 
 days of George Eox,— James visiting America with George Fox, -who had 
 
 shielded George Fox by interposing his body between the Zealots, who were 
 
 throwing stones at George. Among those who cast the stones at that time was 
 
 included Lydia the wife of James Lancaster, aforesaid, but afterwards became 
 
 an advocate of the doctrine that George Fox preached Joseph Lancaster made 
 
 an imposing appearance, was talented, lectured well, professed with friends, plain 
 
 in costume, claimed to have decended from John of Gaunt. It appears from my 
 
 memorandums that the Lancaster family came from England, near Warwick. 
 
 Thomas Lancaster came to America with Ann Chapman at the age of nine years, 
 
 married Phebe Wardell, daughter of John Wardell. about 172.i, died at sea in 
 
 17.50, aged 48 years, so that he was born in 170i and arrived in America in 1711.

 Thomas Lancaster wis a member and minister of Richland Mo. Mtg. in 1744, 
 
 —was the carpenter in building the Meeting House, as per the Minutes of said 
 
 mcetmg. He owned and occupied a farm of about 200 acres, one mile from the 
 
 Friends Meeting House, at Quakertown, Richland. The North Penn. R. R. passes 
 
 through or nearby said farm, the depot is here, and many buildings erected. He 
 
 erected his dwelling house on this farm, and here raised and educated his family. 
 
 He obtained from Richland Mo. Mtg. a certificate to travel in the ministry and 
 
 visit Barbadoes & Tarlola, dated 2d. mo. 19, 1750. From a book of memorials, I 
 
 liud Thomas Lancaster, on his return, departed this life at sea.

 "And lastly, with a desire as fervent as could be uttered, were it possible for 
 an affectionate father to speak from the grave, would I enjoin upon all my dear 
 children to be obedient to the teachings of Divine Faith in their own minds in all 
 things, as the only and alone means of securing happiness and true respectability 
 in this life as well as in that to come. This has been the foundation, dear 
 children, as you well know, upon which has been based all the religious instruc- 
 tion which I have felt it right for me to bestow upon you: and, at this moment, 
 when contemplating the final issue of all things on earth as regards myself, I 
 again reiterate it, with a full conviction of its everlasting truth.

 time before I can leave home on account of my family, but I expect that will not 
 be material as I expect we understand each other respecting the terms of the 
 bargain. I want thee to sow the cloverseed and I will pay you for it the price 
 thee gave. I have confirmed the sale of my plantation this day with Isi-ael Foulke 
 and he has sold his to A. Dolby, all in expectation of my having thine. If it 
 should be convenient I would like thee to send by the bearer a letter with the 
 article enclosed.

 The following account of the visit of Aaron Lancaster to Old Neck Meeting, 
 was written by Daniel Wood, a minister in the Friends' Society, who married 
 Elizabeth Benedict, daughter of Aaron and Esther (Lancaster) Benedict, and 
 granddaughter of Aaron Lancaster. 
 
 A Rkmakkaiu.k Instance of the Fulfillment of Pkophecy. 
 
 We find in the history of the Society of Friends, that its members in the last 
 century, in common with others, held slaves. But this practice, it seems, soon 
 gave uneasiness to some of the more faithful and favored members, who laboured, 
 as they were enabled in the meekness and faith of the gospel, with their brethern 
 to convince them of the evil of holding their fellowbeings in bondaire, and their 
 labors at length proved elTectual. A rule of discipline was established making 
 slave-holding a disownable offence, and the Society was soon clear of the un- 
 christian and inhuman practice. One of these faithful watchmen was Aaron 
 Lancaster, a minister of the gospel, who, in the exer;ise of his gift in the 
 ministry, traveled extensively in the southern states, where the practice of hold- 
 ing slaves was more general anioung Friends than at the north, laboring faith- 
 fully and boldly with his fellow-members to show them the inconsistency of their 
 practice with the precepts of the gospel and the profession they were making to 
 the world. 
 
 One instance, .showing the authority by which he thus labored, I have de- 
 sired to see before the public,— especially now when there is a great struggle in 
 our beloved country for the overthrow of this iniquitous system of human 
 bondage. 
 
 In one of the lower counties of North Carolina there was a meeting called 
 Old Neck, which was a stronghold of slavery. The leading members of this 
 meeting, it appears, had conferred together and adopted the ingenious policy of 
 not disputing with any one on the subject, saying their slaves were their property 
 and they had a right to hold them and would hold them.' 
 
 Aaron Lancaster, then on a religious visit in those parts, soon after attended 
 the meeting of Old Neck, where he found it laid upon him by the Divine Master to 
 testify against the sin of slavery, and the unrighteous conclusion of the members 
 of that meeting, repeating their words: '-That the .slaves were their property, 
 
NOTES. 28' 
 
 they had a ri^ht to hold them and ihey would hold them," that it was offensive 
 to the Divine sight etc., and as proof of the truth of what he had said to them, he 
 had a sign to give them, viz : That the house in which they were then assembled 
 would be blown down within a short period of time, which he named. A friend 
 who was at the meeting, and heard the remarkable prediction, told me that as 
 soon as he had finished his testimony he took his hat. without resuming his seat, 
 and went directly out of the house, mounted his horse and rode a%vay. 
 
 Soon after, the meeting broke up, and a council was held by its members as 
 to what was to be done. The conclusion was that he was deranged and not fit to 
 travel abroad as a minister, and they would stop him, but as they came out of the 
 house he was nearly out of sight, and riding very fast, and thus escaped their 
 hands. Within the time specified there came a whirlwind and entirely demolished 
 the house. The large timbers were scattered around, not far from the place 
 where the house stood, and, according to the prediction, not one left upon an- 
 other. The lighter materials were carried to a sreat distance. One door was 
 found about five miles off. lodged \a the top of a pine tree. Soon after this event 
 Aaron Lancaster returned to that neighborhood and finished his visit to the 
 meetings thereaway without interruption, and it was not very long before 
 Friends of that meeting emancipated their slaves. My first information relative 
 to the above mentioned circumstance, was received from some of Aaron Lan- 
 caster's children, and was afterwards confirmed by friends living in the neighbor- 
 hood, who related the circumstance to me while I was traveling under an ap- 
 prehension of religious duty in the southern states during the years of 18-J3 and 
 IH-.M, and was in the vicinity of the place where Old Neck Meeting-house stood 
 There were friends there alive who had a distinct recollocUon of Aaron Lan- 
 caster and his labors in that country. 
 
 Believing it is due to his memory, and Ur- cause ui Uic irutli and righteous- 
 ness in the earth, I am inclined to commit it to writing. 
 
 His labors were in accordance with those of the apostles as one of them 
 declared— '-The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. Ivat mighty through God 
 to the pulling down of the strong-holds." 
 
 May all christians be concerned to act under Uie same influence believing that 
 He who has begun the work is able to carry it on to its completion and they that 
 trust in the Lord shall not be confounded,

 The following poem was written by Aaron Lancaster Benedict, in 1838, while 
 waiting on the banks of the Ohio River. He had accompanied John Green, alias- 
 Eliaska Young, a fugitive .slave, to Ripley, O., to assist him to cross the river and 
 get his wife and young child from bondage. The wife resided eighty miles from 
 the river and the fugitives were a week late in returning to the river. A. L. 
 Benedict rowed the skiff across each night until they came. This expedition so 
 aroused the animosity of the Kentucky slaveowners against him. that a standing 
 reward of •fl.OOO was offered for his head. 
 
 Beneath me, calm and restful roll 
 
 The Ohio's pearly, chrystal waves; 
 Beyond is heard the ceaseless wail 
 
 Of tasked and fettered slaves.

 Among those hills on yonder shore, 
 
 I see the tyrant's dwelling pliice; 
 And scattered o"er those lields, I mark 
 
 The sable forms of Afric's race. 
 
 Ol as I view those dark abodes 
 
 or tyranny, and lust, and pride, 
 Where many a weary, friendless slave 
 
 Has toiled, and wept, and l)led, and died, 
 
 Tis not in lanKuafre to describe 
 
 The strong emotions of my soul: 
 Where the lorn captive toils and bleeds 
 
 Throughout a weary course of years. 
 
 The ground I stand upon is free, 
 
 The very air I breathe is pure, 
 There is no taint of slavery here. 
 
 No stripes, no bondage to endure. 
 
 ]}ut Oh! across that tranquil stream, 
 
 What anguish, and what wrongs are there I 
 
 What tears of blood: what groans and sighs 1 
 What sounds of woe, and dire despair! 
 
 How long, O Lord, how long before 
 
 Thou'lt break the cruel bands apart. 
 Thai bind the slave in bondage down. 
 
 And crush his aching, broken heart"' 
 
 O! when wilt thou arise for these, 
 
 Thy suffering, abject, out-cast poor. 
 And break the yoke, and bid them wear 
 
 The tyrant.s galling chains no more? 
 
 Haste! haste, O Lord, avenge their wrongs! 
 
 And let the bleeding captives free; 
 To every fettered slave proclaim 
 
 A happy, joyous jubilee.

 On 9ch mo. 24. 1829, Moses Lancaster gave a Power of Attorney to his son, Moses 
 Lancaster .Jr., of Norlhern Liberties. Philadelphia, to sell and convey three acres 
 of land in Richland Township, purchased of Paul PVeed, April 9, 1785. and 'also 
 to .sell his stock, farm utensils, household goods, kitchen furniture, and convert 
 all his personal estate into money, and with the proceeds thereof to pay his just 
 debts, etc., and to invest tha net i-emainder thereof at interest for the support 
 and maintenance of the said Moses Sr. during his natural life. Moses Jr. to be 
 accountable to the Executors and Administrators of his said father for the faith- 
 ful execution of said trust.' 
 
 On October .5, 1849, Moses Lancaster Sr., of Milford Township, by his attorney, 
 Moses Lancaster- Jr., of Northern Liberties, conveyed the above mentioned three 
 acres of land to Christian Bertles. 
 
NOTES. 289 
 
 The death of Rachel, wife of Moses Lancaster Sr.. was probably the cause of 
 the sale of the above property.

 The McCarty family- is probably decendecl from the ancient family of Mac- 
 Carthy, which was the dominant family in Desmond, or South Munster, Ireland, 
 from the period of the establishment of surnames down to the reign of Henry 
 VIII. They derive their descent and surname from Cartbach. son of Saorbhrethach 
 or Justin, who was born in 969 A. D. The name is modernized as MeCarty, Mc- 
 Cartie, MacCartney, Carty, etc. 
 
 According to family tradition, Silas McCarty left Scotland, when about 
 fourteen years old, with his brother Roland, and settled in Ireland for a few 
 years. They afterwards emigrated to America. Roland settled in New Jersey, 
 and Silas settled in Pennsylvania. 
 
 On an old map of Bucks Co., Pa., dated March 11, 1724, Silas McCarty is repre- 
 sented as the owner of a tract of land in the southwestern part of Plumstead 
 Township, near the Buckingham line. 
 
 On March :^. 1738, John Thomas and Richard Penn, conveyed to him 31.5 acres 
 of land in Haycock Towhship. He gave one acre of this tract to William Bryan, 
 Isaac Evans, and others, in trust, for the use of the Baptist Congregation at New 
 Britain, upon which to erect a church and also to be used as a burying ground. 
 
 The old log church has been gone many years. Silas McCarty, and Sarah, his 
 wife, are pi'obably buried in the graveyard, although the names on the stones 
 have become obliterated, which renders the fact uncertain. The records of the 
 New Britain Baptist church .show that Sarah McCarty untied with the congrega- 
 tion, "July ye 16th, 17.55. ■' Silas died in April, 17.50. His son, Carroll McCarty.
