who died very young. Mary Garrett mar- ried Abel Noble, son of Richard Noble, who came to America in 1675, with John Fene- riel:, the founder of Salem, N. J., in the ship Griffith, from London, England, and who was appointed by Sir Edward Andros sur- veyor of Upland county.

The second child and eldest son of this fam- ily, Samuel Garrett, married Jane, daughter of Robert Pennell, of Middletown, Del; Alice married Joseph, son of Robert Pen- nell; Sarah married William Croxton, of Providence, and William married Mary Smith. William Garrett, the elder, died in 1703, and his wife in 1722.

Samuel Levis, the neighbor and life-long friend of William Garrett, occupied the land adjoining his, which remains to the present time in the possession of Mr. Levis's descend- ants. Samuel Levis was a man of economical and business-like habits; he possessed an en- ergetic character, which was especially dis- played in matters pertaining to the welfare of his adopted country. Scarcely was he com- fortably settled in his Pennsylvania home, before his friends induced him to represent the county of Chester in the provincial as- sembly; and he was afterwards elected many times consecutively to the same office. For a short period he was justice of the peace of Chester county. Notwithstanding his many official duties, Mr. Levis always found time to attend carefully to the religious and charita- ble duties that devolved upon him as a mem- ber of the Society of Friends. His children were: I. Mary (Mrs. Joseph Pennock); II. Samuel, married Hannah Stretch, of Phila- delphia; III. William,' married Elizabeth Read, of Kennett, who became a preacher of the Society of Friends; IV. Sarah ( Mrs. George Maris), of Springfield; V. Eliza- beth (Mrs. William Shipley). William Shipley came to America from Loyley and UtBoxeter, Staffordshire, England. Before her marriage, and while in her twenty-fourth year, Elizabeth Levis became an enthusiast in religion. In company with John Fenn, she undertook a series of religious journeys to various parts of the country, visiting New England, Long Island and the Barbadoes Is- lands. In 1733, she visited England, Scot- land and Ireland, addressing religious meet- ings in different parts of those countries and 19

proclaiming everywhere the success of the Friends in establishing their Society in the new land of hope. Elizabeth (Levis) Shipley died at the age of eighty-seven, having been a preacher of the Word for more than sixty- three years.

The husband of Mary, eldest daughter of Samuel Levis, was Joseph Pennock. He was a son of that Christopher Pennock who, as history informs us, was the first military offi- cer in the English service to emigrate to America. He served under William, Prince of Orange, lived for a time in Cornwall, Eng- land, and afterwards married Mary, daughter of George Collett, of Clonmel, County Tip- perary, Ireland. After his marriage, he re- turned to England, and emigrated to Amer- ica in 1685, settling in Chester county, Pa. As he still held his commission in the Eng- lish army, he was recalled by William and Mary in 1688, to assist in the great struggle then pending between King William and James II of England. He fought on the me- morable twelfth of July, 1690, in the great and decisive battle of the Boyne, in which King James was so disastrously defeated. Christopher Pennock then returned to his new home in Chester county, Pa., where he took up the business of card-making; later, he removed to Philadelphia, were he died in 1701.

The history of his son, Joseph Pennock, was an eventful one. He was born in Clon- mel, Ireland, and at the age of twenty, had crossed the Atlantic ocean no less than four times. Once, while on his way to America, the vessel in which he sailed was captured by a French man-of-war; he was taken as a pris- oner to France, and held there for nearly a year in wretched captivity, being subjected to cruel tortures at the hands of the French prison officials.

Owing to the fact that the Pennock family were not members of the Society of Friends, the marriage of Joseph Pennock and Mary Levis took place at Springfield, at the resi- dence of the bride's father. The ceremony was performed in the presence of two justices of the court, in the year 1705. It is said that this was the first marriage in Chester county between persons of different religious views. From that time until the year 1714. Joseph Pennock resided in Springfield. He then re-

- moved his family to West Marlborough, where he erected a dwelling which he called "Primitive Hall."

Joseph Pennock was a member of the pro- vincial assembly. At the time when he pur- chased the tract of land in West Marlborough, the country was a wilderness, frequented chiefly by hostile bands of Lenni Lenape In- dians. But Joseph Pennock, having nego- tiated peaceably with these natives, was per- mitted without the slightest molestation to lay out his grounds and to build his home. His kind treatment of the Indians embolden- ed them to take advantage of his hospitality; and it is related that the Pennock family, when they retired for the night, always left an abundance of food in an outhouse, which was sure to be consumed before morning by the hungry rovers of the forest. Many fam- ilies, residing in the vicinity of Lansdowne, Pa., still take a natural pride in tracing their descent from an ancestor.so prudent and so generous as Joseph Pennock.

HARRY G. BUCKMASTER, M. D., Wilmington, Del., son of Charles M. and Mary P. (Anderson) Buckmaster, was born in Woodside, North Murderkill hundred, Kent county, Del., October 3, 1869.

James, died in childhood; IV. Frank A .; V. Mabel. Among Mrs. Buckmaster's maternal > ancestors were the famous author, Thomas Payne, also John Adams, Dr. Adams, and Major Anderson, all of Revolutionary fame.

In Jan- mary, 1896, he established in that city a phar- macy, which he now conducts in connection with his medical practice. He is a member of the State Medical Society, and is one of the board of directors of the Wilmington high school. Dr. Buckmaster is a skilled physi- cian and a successful business man. He is a Democrat, and is an active worker in the ranks. His parents and their family attend the Presbyterian church.

The Anderson family, the maternal ances- tors of Dr. Buckmaster's mother, was one of the first European families in Delaware. The first of the name, an emigrant from Swe- den, settled in New Castle and from that point his descendants have made homes for themselves in different parts of the state.

J., and died in Philadelphia in April, 1885, at the age of eighty-five years; her remains are in- terred in Riverview cemetery, Wilmington, Del. She was of English descent. Her father was a soldier in the Revolutionary army, and crossed the Delaware with General Washington on the memorable winter night when the Hessians were surprised at Trenton. In the engagement at that place, Mr. Jobs was wounded. He was a resident of Phila- delphia nearly all his life; his remains were interred either at Trenton or at Hanover cemetery, in Philadelphia; the former ap- pears more probable.

In his early years, Charles H. Combs at- tended the Friends' school at Marshallton, Chester county, Pa. At nine years of age, he was "bound" to John Worth, Jr., a Friend, of Chester, Pa., in whose family he remained until he had attained his majority. The great western country had for him the attrac- tion that it possessed in those days for nearly every enterprising young man, and it was not long after his indentures had expired that he went to the vicinity of Canton, Ohio. But, 1 only three months after arriving there, he en- listed in Company K, Third Ohio Volunteers, Col. S. R. Curtis and Capt. James Allen, for the Mexican war. This was on May 6, 1846.
