George was a buyer and reader of good books. Judging from the dates of purchase as entered under his name on the fly-leaves, it seems to have been his custom to place upon the shelves of his bookcase every year some well-bound volumes. Most of these books treated of morality and religion, such as the evidences of Christianity, the works of Ed- wards and of Witherspoon, and sermons by other Princeton divines. The library he thus accumulated did honor to his mind and char- acter. He was for more than thirty-six years a ruling elder in the Yellow Frame Presby- terian Church; and in the religious affairs of the community he stood at the front; when the church was without a pastor, as was often the case, the spiritual oversight of the shepherd- less flock depended largely on George Arm- strong.
He married Sarah Hunt, daughter of Lieu- tenant Richard Hunt, and had Rachel, the wife of John Locke; Richard; John, born 1788, died 1873; Elizabeth, the wife of John O. Rice; Sarah, the wife of Japhet B. Ched- ister ; and David Hunt.
(III) Richard, son of George and Sarah Armstrong, married Phebe Hankinson and had one child, Samuel Hunt Armstrong, who married Margaret Wilson and had Nor- eena, the wife of William Percy Bennett, and Lozenia, the wife of Daniel Joseph Mc- Clurg, of Espyville, Pennsylvania.
(III) John, son of George and Sarah Arm- strong, married Lydia Kirkpatrick, daughter of Captain John and Lydia (Lewis) Kirk- patrick, and had four children: Sarah, the wife of Jacob S. Mott ; David Lewis; Will- iam, the sheriff of Warren county; and Rich- ard Turner. After the death of Lydia, John married Martha Luse, and had Lydia Jane, who married Ira C. Kerr. David Lewis Arm- strong married Elizabeth Roy and had two children: Sarah Matilda, the wife of Milton
Howard Soverel; and George Byram Arm- strong, who married Sarah Rubina L'Homa- dieu and had Anna Elizabeth, the wife of Alvah J. Walters; Cora Rubina; and Hattie Valentine. William Armstrong, the sheriff, married Elizabeth Mackey, of Belvidere, and had John Mackey, Israel, and Eutokia.
(IV) Richard Turner, son of John and Lydia Armstrong, was born January 15, 1823, died November 26, 1902 ; he dwelt at Johnson- burg, New Jersey ; married Esther Ann Lundy, daughter of David and Sarah (Wildrick) Lundy, and had William Clinton, John W., and George Lundy Armstrong. William Clinton Armstrong married Stella Virginia Lenher, daughter of George H. Lenher, and had a daughter Marion Lenher, and four sons, Richard Clinton, George Lenher, John Mac- dougall and William Clinton Jr. John W. Armstrong married Laura Ellen Willson, daughter of Jesse Willson, and had Edna Mabel, wife of Charles Watson Gibbs; and John W., Jr. George Lundy Armstrong mar- ried Sarah Frances Reeder, daughter of Sedg- wick R. Reeder, and had Carrie, the wife of Bertram Drake ; and Bessie.
William Clinton Armstrong graduated from Princeton College in the class of 1877. He stud- ied law and was admitted to the bar. He became principal of the high school at New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1891, and in 1899 was elected superintendent of schools in that city. In 1895 he published a "Genealogical Record of the De- scendants of Nathan Armstrong," in which are given the names of all persons descending from that worthy pioneer, traced through both male and female lines. In 1902 he published the "Lundy Family and Their Descendants of Whatsoever Surname," with a biographical sketch of Benjamin Lundy, the founder of American Abolitionism. He has also written a series of papers on "Lord Stirling of New Jersey as a Soldier and as a Man." He is a member of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and as his- torian of that society edited a volume which was published in 1903 under the title of "Patri- otic Poems of New Jersey."
(III) David Hunt, son of George and Sarah Armstrong, dwelt on his father's farm. He married Mary Ann Albertson and had seven children : Sarah Jane, the wife of Esaac D. Youmans; Martha Elizabeth, the wife of Andrew Raub Teel; George A .; Isaac A .; William P .; Milton N .; and Clinton Oren Armstrong.

Wintermute, removed to Dorchester, Nebraska, and had: Austin Craig; David William; Flora Belle, the wife of Henry Nelson ; and Matilda Ann, the wife of Dennis Ross. Austin Craig Armstrong, now of Glencoe, Illinois, married Minnie A. Weinecke and has George Henry. Isaac A. Armstrong mar- ried Maria T. McCallister and had Mary C., Alice L., Edwin and Hugh Hunt. William Preston Armstrong married Alice Wildrick and had Elizabeth, the wife of Mr. Gallagher, of Brooklyn. Milton Nathan Armstrong, M. D., married Elizabeth Blair, and has Robert B. and Mary, the wife of Harold Hastings Cooley. Clinton Oren Armstrong married Elizabeth S. Mott, dwelt at Milford, Pennsyl- vania, and has Harold Rodney, Maxwell and Natalie Bartow.
(II) John, son of Nathan and Euphemia Armstrong, born 1749, died 1836, was a man of influence. His long life was filled with a wide range of business activities. He took up surveying in early life and did much work of that kind until his own sons relieved him. In 1776 he was assessor of Hardwick township; the next two years he was town clerk ; then he was freeholder ; and after that he was the tax collector of Sussex county for eight years.
During the revolutionary war he was lieuten- ant in Captain Aaron Hankinson's company, second regiment of Sussex militia ; see papers of the New Jersey Provincial Congress, document No. 126. He became judge of the court of common pleas in February, 1801, and retired from the bench in 1831, at the age of eighty- two, having served thirty consecutive years.
He was a farmer, who possessed the ambition and ability to develop new enterprises. At Paulina, a half mile above Blairstown, he bought a tract of land lying on both sides of the Paulinskill. On the south bank of the stream he erected a grist mill, which for two generations was one of the best mill properties in that section of the country, and which has recently been remodeled into an electricai power-house.
Opposite the mill he constructed a forge for refining iron, and this forge he operated for a number of years. He bought raw pig-iron at a smelting furance at Andover ; the iron he bought was in the shape of sticks, each stick being six feet long and weighing about two hundred pounds ; these he carted to tlie forge, a distance of eleven miles. He purchased some timber land on the Kit- tatinny mountains ten miles away ; and there manufactured charcoal which he carted to
Paulina to use in the forge. After the raw iron had been purified into bar iron, it was transported to the Delaware river, a distance of twelve miles, floated down stream on flat- boats and sold at Philadelphia. His enter- prise and energy overcame all difficulties. But the times changed and the smelter at Andover had to shut down owing to economic conditions that effected the whole country. As a conse- quence no pig-iron could be obtained and the refining forge at Paulina was compelled to close.
John Armstrong was vice-president of the Warren County Bible Society, president of the Hardwick Temperance Society, and a member of the first board of directors of the Sussex Bank.
He married Sarah Stinson; their children were John, Jr .; Nathan; Jacob; Mary, tlie wife of Samuel Snover King; Sarah, the wife of John R. Howell; Euphemia, the wife of Wilson Hunt; and Eleanor, the wife of Isaac Shiner.
- (III) John, Jr., son of John and Sarah Arm- strong, who removed in 1819 to Euclid, near Cleveland, Ohio, was twice married. By his first wife Elizabeth Shafer, he had a daughter Margaret Sarah, who married Joseph W. Mc- Cord; by his second wife Phebe Stewart, he had Samuel Snover ; Valeria Adaline, the wife of Jason Abbott ; Wilson Hunt ; John Stinson, who died in the United States navy during the civil war; and Dewitt Clinton Armstrong. Samuel Snover Armstrong, of Nottingham, Ohio, was twice married; his wives were Sarah Lloyd and Mary Gunn; he had three children by each wife. His children were: George Washington Armstrong, who married Mary A. Rice, and had a son Frank, of Mead- ville, Pennsylvania; Sarah Elizabeth, the wife of Adolphe R. Candy ; Lucy Ann, the wife of Ira Eddy ; Ann Lucretia, the wife of Almon G. Dills ; John Chester, of Trenton, Michigan, who married Lillian M. Rose, and had a daughter Alice Elizabeth ; and Laura Adaline, the wife of Francis M. Rogers, of Dunkirk, Ohio.

and had two sons: Austin Elisha, who was killed at Roanoke Island, and William Hamp- ton, who married Mary E. Sutton, and had three children : Rev. Austin Elisha, John Locke and Lucretia Drake. John Locke Armstrong, the grandson, married Lois A. Yawger, dwelt at Newton, New Jersey, and had Roy and Ellsworth. Henry Palmer Armstrong, of Columbia, New Jersey, married Abbie Maria Harris and had Elmer Rozell Armstrong, of Easton, Pennsylvania, who married Sadie Budd and has Donald Budd, Margaret, and Lawrence Elmer.
(III) Jacob, son of John and Sarah Arm- strong, dwelt on the homestead. He married Nancy Willson and had Nathan and Ophelia ; Nathan married Martha Firth and had Edith, the wife of William B. Banker, and Isabella ; Ophelia married James H. Couch, of Morris- town, New Jersey.
Austin Elisha Armstrong enlisted at Hope, New Jersey, in Company H, Ninth New Jer- sey Volunteers. Of the whole regiment he was the first man to enlist and the second man to die. He was killed at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, on February 8, 1862. While the union troops were charging a confederate battery, a bullet hit Austin E. in the forehead. He did not think it serious and tried to go on with his company, but the wound bled freely and his face and hands and breast were soon dripping with blood. He started for the rear, telling his companions that he would be back as soon as he could get something to keep the blood out of his eyes. He reached the door of the tent but dropped dead as he entered. A shaft of marble stands to his memory in the cemetery of the Yellow Frame church.
EDGE The American home of the Edge family is Chester county, Pennsyl- vania, although, as in the case of the line at present under consideration, some branches of it have spread over in New Jer- sey soil, where they have taken root and grown to flourishing and estimable proportions.
(I) John Edge, founder of the family in this country, came with his wife Jean and fam- ily of small children over to the Quaker colo- nies on the Delaware, from St. Andrew's, Hol- born county Middlesex, England, about 1685, and settled in Nether Providence. He bought from William Penn one hundred and twenty- five acres of land by deeds of lease and release, dated March 21 and 22, 1681-82. He was an earnest member of the Society of Friends, and the monthly meetings were sometimes held at
his house .. In his native home he had been subjected to heavy fines and imprisonment for refusing to act contrary to his conscientions scruples, and on one occasion he was sub- jected to a public trial. In Besse's remarkable book, the "Sufferings of Quakers," under date of 1680, we find that "in Trinity Term of this Yeare Sir Hugh Windham, one of the Jus- tices of the Common Pleas brought into that Court at Westminster several informations in the Name of Thomas Moore, as informer, against Thomas Farmborrow of London, Chairmaker, Henry Waddy, John Edge of St. Andrew's Holborne in the county of Middle- sex and John Jones of St. Andrew's, Hol- borne, Glover, for £260 each of them, alleged to be forfeited for their not coming to hear Common-prayer for thirteen months past pre- ceding the Information, on the Statute of 23rd Elizabeth made against Popish Recusants." Some other Friends being in like circum- stances, a statement of the case was published and presented to the king and parliament and the house of commons resolved that such pros- ecution of Protestant dissenters was danger- ous to the peace of the kingdom, but they failed to provide a remedy. In 1683 a war- rant was granted against George Whitehead for preaching at a meeting in the parish of St. Margaret's, Westminster. The constabulary went to his house, broke into it, seized his goods, and when two of his friends, John Edge and Joseph Peckover, who were among the spectators to the proceedings, remonstrated and asked them to make an inventory of the goods seized, the police arrested them, fined them, and committed them to Newgate prison, where they were detained for ten weeks. Later in the same year, John Edge, together with Richard Butcher, Christopher Sibthorpe, Antony Ellwood and John Denton were dis- trained £9, 15 shillings for their refusal to bear arms.
After coming to this country John Edge rose rapidly in the esteem of his neighbors, and with his brother Joseph, who accompanied him to this country, became not only an active Friend but also one of the important and in- fluential members of the civil life of the com- munity. Joseph, who with his brother John was a member of the grand jury during 1686- 87, probably died unmarried, but their sister Sarah, who died second month 26, 1692, mar- ried eighth month, 1686, Thomas Bowater. John Edge himself died fifth month, 10, 17II, but his widow Jean, who survived him and all her children, was living in third month 27,

1734, when the Monthly Meeting records men- tion a collection of £1, 5 shillings, paid to her. Like her husband she too was a prominent, active and influential member of the Society of Friends.
The children of John and Jean Edge were : I. Mary, died Second month, 17, 1698; mar- ried James Sharpless. 2. Abigail, died Ninth month 27, 1716; married Edward Woodward. 3. John, referred to below. 4. Jacob, born Third month 8, 1690, died probably Second month 7, 1720; married, in 1712, Sarah, daughter of Rees and Hannah Jones, and had four children : Hannah, married John Lea, Jane, married (first) Thomas Parke, and (second) James Webb; Abigail, died unmar- ried, and Sarah, died at nine years of age. Jacob's widow married (second) Caleb Cowp- land. From the above it will be seen that all the descendants of John Edge bearing his name spring from his son John Jr.
(II) John (2), eldest son and the only one to bear male issue of John (1) and Jean Edge, was born about the beginning of fifth month, 1685, died in third month, 1734. After his marriage he settled on land which his father had purchased in Upper Providence. ninth month 30, 1713, he was chosen as over- seer of the Providence Meeting of Friends in the room of James Sharpless, his brother-in-law, and sixth month 29, 1715, was succeeded by Randall Malin. In 1721, becoming dissatisfied with certain members of the Providence Meet- ing, he changed his attendance to the Middle- town Meeting. He was a farmer and a black- smith, and he died intestate, possessed of three hundred and twenty-eight acres, letters of ad- ministration being granted his widow May 6, 1734. August 30, 1739, three of his children, James, Mary and Rachel, petitioned for guard- ians, and their uncles, Thomas and George Smedley, were appointed. His widow was ap- pointed eleventh month 29, 1738-39, overseer of the Middletown Meeting in the place of Mary Pennell, and ninth month 26, 1739, was succeeded by Hannah Howard.
In eighth month, 1709, John Edge, married Mary, daughter of George and Sarah Smed- ley, of Middleton, who survived him and mar- ried (second) ninth month, 7, 1739, at New- town Meeting, John, son of Francis and Han- nah (Baker) Yarnall, of Willistown. The first intentions of John Edge's marriage were published at Middletown Meeting, Sixth month 29, 1709, the second intentions at Springfield Meeting, seventh month, 26, 1709, and the orderly accomplishment at Springfield
Meeting, eighth month, 31, 1709. Their chil- dren were: I. George, referred to below. 2. Sarah, born about 1713, died December 6, 1805: married (first) Lawrence Cox, and (second) David Reece. 3. Jane, died January 23, 1779; married (first) James Albin, who died September 29, 1750, in West Marlbor- ough, and (second) Thomas Downing, of East Caln. 4. Jacob, died 1784; married, in 1746, Margaret Paul, of Abington, and removed thither. 5. Mary, born Seventh month 2, 1721, died December 13, 1795; married Rich- ard Downing. 6. Rachel, born Sixth month 29, 1725, died January 31, 1779 ; married Rob- ert Valentine.
(III) George, eldest child of John (2) and Mary (Smedley) Edge; was born in Upper Providence, Chester county, Pennsylvania, died there in 1751, intestate, letters of administration being granted to Ann Edge, his widow, and Robert Pennell, his brother-in-law, with Law- rence Cox and William Pennell, as fellow- bondsmen. Ninth month 19, 1741, George Edge married Ann, daughter of William and Mary (Mercer) Pennell, of Middletown, born eleventh month 26, 1721. Robert Pennell, the founder of her family and his wife, Hannah, came from Boulderton, Nottinghamshire, Eng- land, and settled in Middletown township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, as early as 1686, bring- ing a certificate from the Friends at Fulbeck, dated fifth month three, 1684. Robert, in 1686 was grand juryman, in the following year constable at Middletown. In 1691 he bought two hundred and fifty acres in Edgemont township, and in 1705 two hundred and sixty- four more acres on the north of Philip Yarn- all's land, and extending from the present Gradyville to the Willis town line. Both he and his wife were active in Middletown Meet- ing. Of their seven children William, the youngest, born eighth month, eleventh, 1681, died 1757; married, eighth month, twenty- sixth, 1710, at the Concord Monthly Meeting, Mary, daughter of Thomas and Mary Mercer, of Thornbury township, who bore him eight children. Thomas, married Mary Yarnell ; Hannah, married Thomas Holcome; James, married Jemima Matlack; Phebe, probably died young; Ann, referred to above, married (first) George Edge, and (second) James Worrall; Robert, married Hannah Chamber- lin ; William, married Mary Bell; Samuel, married (first) Sarah Morris, and (second ) Rachael Cobourn. James Worrall, the second husband of Ann ( Pennell) Edge, was the son of Peter and Elizabeth Worrall, of Marple,

who had married ( first) Hannah Calvert, who had borne him seven children, among whom was Lydia, the wife of Benjamin Hoopes. The four children of George and Ann (Pennell) Edge were: I. Mary, born eleventh month, eighteen, 1742, died March thirteenth, 1815; married William Baldwin. 2. John, re- ferred to below. 3. Sarah, born eighth month twenty-fourth, 1746, died young. 4. Ann. born tenth month, twenty-sixth, 1748; married (first) Robert Parke; (second) Benjamin Taylor; (third) William Trymballe.
(IV) John (3), son of George and Ann (Pennell) Edge, was born at Upper Provi- dence, twelfth month, twenty, 1744, and died in East Caln township, September 14, 1816. He learned the trade of miller with his uncle, Richard Downing, at Downingtown, and when he had reached the age of twenty-one, he ex- ecuted February the eighth, 1766, a release to his late guardians for his share of his father's estate .. In 1768 he was operating the "High Mill" which as late as seven or eight years ago was in the possession of his descendant, Jacob V. Edge. March 21, 1772, Jacob Edge and wife, Jane Downing, Widow, David Reece, and Sarah, his wife, Richard Downing, and Mary, his wife, and Robert Valentine, and Rachael, his wife, the heirs of John Edge (II) conveyed their interest in fifty acres of land in Upper Providence, allotted to the widow as her dower, to John Edge, the only son of George deceased. April 21, 177- Ann Parke, widow, conveyed her interest in the lands of her father in Upper Providence, being three hundred and forty-four acres, to her brother, John ; and November 12, 1786, William Bald- win and Mary, his wife, do the same. John divided his Upper Providence lands into four parts. The northeast lot of one hundred and eighteen acres, forty perches, he disposed of to Thomas Bishop ; the northwest lot of ninety- one acres, forty-six perches to Joseph Bishop ; and the southwest lot of one hundred and seven acres, one hundred perches, to Gideon Dunn. This was April 30, 1793; and May 10, 1797, he deeded the remainder to William Eachus. February 17, 1780, John Edge bought from his uncle, Robert Valentine, the messuage and two tracts of land in East Caln, twenty- nine acres and forty-six perches, and succeeded his uncle as storekeeper in Downingtown. In 1790 he petitioned for a tavern license, stating, "Your Petitioner, Having for a Number of Yeares followed the Business of Storekeeping in a large Commodious house, nearly opposite
Rich'd Downing's Mill in Downings Town, On the great road from Lancaster, to Philadelphia, and nearly where the road from Harrisburg intersects the same and Crosses to West Ches- ter. But finding ye bisness of Store-keeping (Since the late Custom of Tavern Keepers opening store has taken place ) is by no means sufficient to raise and support his family ac- cording to their usual Custom, Hope There- fore you will be pleased to recommend him to the Executive Council as a proper person to keep a publick house of Entertainment" etc. There was a counter petition opposing the granting of this license, but John Edge was finally successful, and his inn became known as the famous "Half Way House." In 1792 he purchased from Dr. Thomas, Parke the "Ship" property, and enlarged the mansion to double its former size, and on the western half built for his son, George, the house now owned by John G. Edge, and established his son, Thomas, on the tract lying in the borough east of the present Hunt tract and south of the Lancaster road, extending to the Brandywine : to his youngest son, John, he gave the "Ship" property, one hundred and sixteen acres, lately owned by Dr. Eshleman. John Edge is said to have possessed great force of character and an active enterprising temper. He was for- tunate in business, a keen observer, and given to sallies of humor and wisdom, for the benefit of his neighbors, many of which were current long after his death. It is a noteworthy fact that in 1787, when articles of luxury were heavily taxed, the only four citizens of East Caln who possessed riding chairs for which they were taxed, f1, 10 shillings, were William Trimble, John Edge, Richard Downing and Hunt Downing.
August 1, 1768, John Edge married at the East Caln meeting Ann, born twelfth month, seventeen, 1747, died December, 1826, daugh- ter of Thomas and Frances ( Wilkinson) Pim, of East Caln. William Pim, born at Lackah, Queens county, Ireland, came to America in 1730, was justice of the peace, for many years clerk of the Bradford monthly meeting. He married (first), in Ireland, Dorothy, daughter of Thomas and Dorothy Jackson, and ( second) Ann, widow of James Gibbons, of West Town, Thomas Pim, third of the six children by his first wife, born third month, first, 1721, died October 3, 1786; married, tenth month, 24, 1746, at East Caln meeting, Frances, daughter of James Wilkinson, of Wilmington, who died May 7, 1784, at sixty-three years of age. Of
