PANCOAST "I Joseph Pancoast, son of John and Elizabeth Pancoast
of Ashen, fieve miles from Northampton Town, in Northampton Shire, England, born 1672 the 27th of eighth month called October ; and in the year 1680, October 4th came into America in the ship 'Paradise,' William Evelyn, master ; and I settled in West New Jersey, Burlington County, and on the 14th of the eighth month, October 1696, I took to wife Thomasin Scattergood, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Scattergood, of Step- ney Parish, London, who also transported themselves into Burlington County in Amer- ica." The above quotation is from an old document in the possession of Henry Pancoast

of Mesopotamia, Ohio, and tells us the origin of the Pancoast family in this country.
(I) John Pancoast, the founder of the family, came, as the document says, to West Jersey in 1680, bringing with him his family of children. It is uncertain whether his wife accompanied him or whether she died very shortly after her arrival in America. At any rate John Pancoast was married a second time within two years of his coming, and shortly before his death he took to himself a third wife. His children are believed to have been all of them the issue of his first marriage. He set- tled at the mouth of the east branch of the Assiscunck creek, was one of the signers of the noted "Concessions and Agreements," and owned proprietary rights in the province. In 168I he was appointed regulator of weights and measures for Burlington county, in 1683 he was chosen constable, and in 1685 he was elected a member of the assembly of West Jersey. His will is dated November 30, and was proved December 22, 1694. The name of his first wife was Elizabeth ; his second, whom he married in the Burlington monthly meeting in 1682, was Ann Snowden, and the name of his third wife was Jane. His children were: I. Mary, married Seth Smith. 2. Ann. 3. William, referred to below. 4. Joseph, re- ferred to above in the extract, who married Thomasin Scattergood. 5. Elizabeth, married Joseph Bacon. 6. Sarah, married Edward Boulton. 7. Hannah. 8. Susanna, married Ralph Cowgill.
(II) William, son of John and Elizabeth Pancoast, was born in England, and accom -. panied his father to this country. He was probably the eldest of all of his children and was the sole executor of his father's will. He settled near his father in Mansfield township, Burlington county, and seems to have lived there all his life, although in 1700 he had sur- veyed for him two hundred and seventy acres on Rock creek, near Little Egg Harbor. Sep- tember I, 1695, he married in the Burlington monthly meeting, Hannah, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Scattergood, the sister of his brother Joseph's wife, and there are records of four of his children. He undoubtedly had other children and the tradition which makes Edward who is referred to below and William who married Meribah Allen his sons, is most probably correct. The four children whose marriages are recorded in the Chesterfield and Burlington monthly meetings are: I. John, married Mary Crusher. 2. Joseph, married Mary Ogborne. 3. Elizabeth, married Marma- ii-11
duke Watson. 4. Hannah, married Matthew Watson.
(III) Edward, son of William and Hannah (Scattergood) Pancoast, was born in Mans- field township, and spent the early part of his manhood in Bordentown, where in 1756 he advertises for the apprehension of a runaway servant, Patrick Weldon. Some time after his marriage he removed from Bordentown to Salem county, where his descendants became numerous and influential. August 15, 1761, he took out a license to marry Hannah King and there is record of at least two children to this marriage: I. Samuel, married Dorcas Stratch, and became one of the most influential mem- bers of the Salem monthly meeting. 2. Will- iam, referred to below.
(IV ) William (2), son of Edward and Hannah (King) Pancoast, married, in 1784, the license being dated February 19, Sarah Lishman, and had at least two sons: I. Sam- uel. 2. Henry, referred to below.
(V) Henry, son of William (2) and Sarah (Lishman) Pancoast, was born in Salem county, New Jersey, February 2, 1792, died there September 9, 1835. He married Han- nah Ivins Hackney, born in 1796, died April 18, 1882. Their children were: I. Mary, born October 10, 1818. 2. Caroline, January 27, 1821. 3. Rebecca Hackney, March 16, 1822. 4. William Hackney, September 10, 1824. 5. Henry Jr., June 8, 1828. 6. Barzillai B., May 23, 1831. 7. Edward Hackney, referred to below.
(VI) Edward Hackney, youngest child of Henry and Hannah Ivins (Hackney) Pan- coast, was born near Woodstown, Salem county, May 12, 1835 and is now living at Riverton, New Jersey. His father died when he was about four months old, and after re- ceiving a common school education he was put out as apprentice when eight years old, and when twenty-two years old he had a small farm on which he carried on truck farming. Previous to this as a young man he taught school for a time, and later he had a flour and feed business in Bridgeboro. In 1862 he en- listed in Company G, Twelfth Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers, and was mustered into service in August, 1862. The company was then sent to Baltimore and was on police duty for a time. He was in the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, and was taken prisoner in the second day's fight of the latter battle. He was taken to Belle Island, Richmond, where he was kept for three months, and then sent to Annapolis, Maryland,

and later, after his exchange, went to the hos- pital at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was discharged from service in May, 1865. Re- turning to New Jersey he located at Riverton, where he took up carpentering and contracting, and built many of the houses of Palmyra and Riverton. This line of business he followed for some twenty years, and then went into the real estate and insurance business, in which he is active at the present time. Mr. Pan- coast is a Republican and has served as coun- cilman for several years. He has also served on the board of assessors, and on the board of education for many years, and he has been one of the chosen freeholders.

Caleb C. Pancoast is a great- PANCOAST grandson of John Pancoast, the emigrant.
