Thomas Stewart Harper, son of Joseph and Eliza (Warren) Harper, and father of Warren Harper, was born August 23, 1823, on the homestead near Leipsic, Del., where he lived until he was about fifteen years of age. After his mother's death, he left his step-father's house, and went to live with a relative, Charles Irons. A short time later, he went to another relative, Charles Harper, at Leipsic, Del., who gave him some education and afterwards took him into his store as a clerk. In his twenty-see- ond year, he married Elizabeth Hazel, and then went into the mercantile business with his brother-in-law, Thomas P. Hazel, under the firm name of Hazel & Harper, which busi- ness he followed for about four years. He then sold his interest to his partner and be- gan farming, which he continued, with an in- terval of a year or two, till 1863, when he en- listed in Company F, Sixth Delaware Volum-

teers, serving as first lieutenant. Ile was with his regiment till it was honorably mus- tered out of the service, and then returned to private life. For the next two years, he was a commission merchant in Philadelphia, Pa., during the fruit season. From 1865 to 1877 he was teller in the First National Bank of Dover. After the second suspension, being dissatisfied with the reinstatement of the cashier, he resigned his position. Hle then resumed mercantile business in Dover, Del., and continued in the same for about two years. At the time of his death, which oc- curred March 28, 1882, he was U. S. mail agent between Philadelphia. Pa., and Cris- field, Md.

Thomas S. Harper was married in Phila- delphia, November 1, 1844, by the Rev. Levi Scott, afterward a bishop of the M. E. church, to Elizabeth Hazel, daughter of James and Margaret (Kirkley) Hazel. She was a lineal descendant of Sir James Hazel. Their chil- dren were: I. Warren; II. Joseph Henry, born at Leipsic, Del., July 14, 1850, married Eliza- beth Pratt, and lives in Dover, Del .; III. Elizabeth, born near Leipsic, Del., February 13, 1853, is unmarried and lives in Philadel- phia; IV. Thomas, born at Leipsic, Del., Au- gust 9, 1855, married Anna C. Anderson, is now a wholesale produce commission mer- chant in Dock St., Philadelphia; V. Laura, born near Leipsic, Del., August 26, 1857, married Dr. Jesse Godley, of Trenton, N.

the regiment was mustered out of the service. In 1864, he re-enlisted in the Seventh Dela- ware Volunteers, known as an Emergency Regiment, and served with it till it was mus- tered out of service. From 1868 to 1871, he was station agent of the Delaware R. R., at Dover, Del., after which he formed a part- nership with Mr. George W. Baker, under the firm name of Harper & Baker, doing a large mercantile business in agricultural im- plements, machinery, coal, &e., at Dover, Del. This firm was well known and successfully conducted until 1879, when Mr. Harper sold his interest to Mr. Baker, and removed to Wilmington, Del., where he established the firm of Warren Harper & Co. Ilere he con- tinned to do a large and profitable business in the same line as he had handled at Dover, Del., until the year 1884, when Mr. Harper sold out the business, and established the firm of Warren Harper & Bro., wholesale produce commission merchants, at Wilmington, Del. After conducting a very large and successful business in this line for about four years, the firm of Warren Harper & Bro., desiring a larger field of operation, in 1888 transferred their business to Philadelphia, Pa., and con- tinned it under the same name until 1891. Warren Harper then sold his interest in the wholesale produce commission business, and established the present firm of Rouillot & Co., brokers in stocks, grain, &c., in Philadelphia, Pa

Politically, Mr. Harper is a Republican, as was his father, Thomas S. Harper; and to digress a little, it might be well to add, his father was originally a Whig, and voted with that party till it merged into the American party; he was one of the very first in Kent county, Del., to become a Republican in poli- ties, and continued a strong and active one till his death in 1882. Warren Harper is a member of the Philadelphia Society of Sons of Delaware, and is serving his second term as one of the governors of the same; he is also a member of the Order of Sparta, of the Hep- tasophs, the A. O. U. W., the G. A. R., the American Union, &c.

His grandfather, James Belt, was a farmer. William Belt, son of James Belt, was born in Anne Arundel county, Md., May 19, 1801, and died in Wilmington, Del., February 8, 1886.

THOMAS DEAKYNE, Blackbird, New Castle county, Del., son of Thomas and Ann (Barlow) Deakyne, was born February 19, 1823, in what was then known as Thorough- fare Neck, now Deakyneville, Del.

The Deakyne family belongs to that na- tionality which gave its first settlers to the state of Delaware; their ancestors came among the early emigrants from Sweden. Honor- able and upright in principle and conduct, healthful and industrious, moderate and self- controlled, although of a lively and active temperament, the Swedes have left their im- press for good upon the population of this state. A worthy representative of the nation was George Deakyne, grandfather of Thomas Deakyne, 2, who was born and spent his en- tire life in Thoroughfare Neck, making farm- ing his principal occupation. His farm of 150 acres was in Appoquinimink hundred; the

tract is now a part of Blackbird hundred. He was a Democrat, a disciple of the illustrious Thomas Jefferson. George Deakyne married a lady of English descent, but born in Dela- ware, Mary Wiekerson. Their children were: I. Thomas; II. George; III. John; IV. Bay- more; all these, now deceased, were regarded as substantial and useful citizens. George Deakyne and his wife were both members of the M. E. church; they lived long and hap- pily together, died on their farm, and the re- mains of both rest in the family burial plot of the cemetery at Deakyneville.

Their son, Thomas Deakyne, was born in 1786, on the homestead, where he spent his early days. He was an intelligent and am- bitious lad, desirous of a good education; this the schools of his day were not in a condition to afford; he was therefore obliged to make up for their deficiencies by his independent efforts; and so well did he succeed that he was noted among the young men his contempo- raries for his general information. ITis hours of relaxation from the laborious duties of a farmer were principally occupied in reading and in hard study. His history clearly proves that there is no necessary antagonism between study and business; for he became one of the largest land-owners in the county, as well as one of the first merchants. He owned more than 1000 acres of land; one of his tracts, com- prising 200 acres, was in Thoroughfare Neck; here he made many improvements, including a fine dwelling and barn, and the setting out of peach orchards; he was one of the first to- cultivate that fruit with success in his section. On one of his farms, he erected a fine brick dwelling. ITis store, one of the first in that neighborhood, was in the Neck, and was a successful enterprise. Mr. Deakyne always supported Democratie principles, and was ac- tive not only in the service of his party, but in promoting the public welfare. He was an ad- vocate of the free school system, and was one. of the first school commissioners. He served several terms in each branch of the state legis- lature. During the session of the senate in 1841, he was at home, suffering with a severe cold; but eager to be at his post of duty, he left his sick bed and travelled eighteen miles to Dover, to attend the session, an exposure which resulted in his death, in the same year. His wife, Ann (Barlow) Deakyne, to whom. he was married in Appoquinimink, now

Blackbird hundred, was a native of the same place with himself, and of English descent. Their children are: I. George, who died in infancy; II. Thomas; III. Albert G., resides on the homestead; IV. Napoleon B., died in New Castle in 1897; V. Charles B., of Wil- mington, Del .; VI. Mary A., wife of J. W. Denney, druggist of Smyrna, Del .; VII. Bath- sheba (Mrs. Richard Ferguson), deceased. Mrs. Deakyne survived her husband six years, dying in 1847; both were interred in the family burial place at Deakyneville.

At the age of eighteen, Thomas Deakyne, 2, having had the misfortune to lose his father by death, found himself, as the eldest of the family, laden with the responsibilities of busi- ness. He had enjoyed a good common school education in his native hundred; to the cul- ture and information thus acquired, he has since added by his own unaided efforts. For the three years before he attained his ma- jority, he continued to superintend the management of the farm and store in the in- terest of the family. On the day when he was twenty-one, he married, and at once be- gan farming the homestead, on which he liv- ed for more than forty years; during the same period, he conducted the store at Deakyneville. In 1860, during the administration of Presi- dent Lincoln, Thomas Deakyne was appointed postmaster, and the postmaster-general honor- ed him by naming his post-office Deakyne- ville, he being the first to have charge of it. He filled the office satisfactorily for six years. In 1883, he removed to Blackbird hundred, where he bought a home, and where he and his wife have since led a tranquil and pleasant life. While at Deakyneville, Mr. Deakyne received from Gov. Burton, in 1861, the ap- pointment of justice of the peace; he has held the office ever since with great credit; his last appointment was conferred by Gov. Watson. In cases where . ppeal has been made to higher courts, Squire Deakyne's judgment has nearly always been sustained. IIe is a man of sound judgment and much knowledge of human na- ture, is well informed on a variety of topics, and has many friends. He has always been a stanch supporter of Democratic views and measures, but not for the selfish end of secur- ing office for himself. He takes a deep in- terest in the maintenance and improvement of the public schools. Squire Deakyne is a

member of Morning Star Lodge, No. 6, I. O. O. F., at Smyrna.

The first marriage of Thomas Deakyne, February 19, 1844, was with Catherine J., daughter of John Wright, a farmer of Black- bird hundred, where she was born. The only child of this lady, born in 1845, died in in- fancy, and was buried, with its mother, in Deakyneville cemetery. Thomas Deakyne married, June 14, 1848, Lydia A., one of the two daughters of Henry and Elizabeth (Short) Hartup, of Blackbird hundred. Mr. Hartup, who was a farmer, was of Irish descent; he supported the Whig party, and was a mem- ber and class leader of the M. E. church. Both he and his wife are dead, and were in- terred in the Friends' burial ground in Black- bird hundred. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Deakyne are as follows: I. Thomas, in the livery business in Tenth street, Wilmington, Del .; II. Virginia (Mrs. Abram Haydon), has children, i. Addie (Mrs. H. Reynolds), ii. Em- ma (Mrs. William Anderson), iii. Bertha, re- siding with Squire Deakyne, iv. Abraham, v. Gilbert, vi. Virginia, vii. Seba, died young; III. Kate (Mrs. Elmer Caths), of Wilming- ton, had one child, which died young; IV. Adelaide (Mrs. George H. Warren), of Wil- mington, has children i. Edgar II., ii. Harry D., iii. Beulah L., iv. Mary D .; V. Harry H., graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, is a druggist at Atlantic City, N. J. Squire Deakyne and his family are mem- bers of the M. E. church; he is a participator in church work, and acts as secretary of the Sunday-school. His wife is his coadjutor in all good works.
