(VII) Joseph Josiah, son of Barclay and Rebecca Merritt (Lamb) White, was born in
Springfield, New Jersey, January 22, 1846, and was educated at Jobstown, Aaron's school at Mt. Holly, Jackson's school at Darby, Penn- sylvania, the boarding school of William A. Garrigues, near Moorestown, New Jersey, the Friends' Central school, Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Polytechnic College. In 1867 he became a cranberry grower, and was there- after closely identified with that industry, al- though somewhat actively interested in other business enterprises. In 1870 he wrote a book on "Cranberry Culture," which was published by Orange Judd, of New York, passed through two editions, and is still the standard work on that subject. Mr. White was a charter mem- ber of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, having joined the society at its organization in 1880. He obtained letters patent of the United States for a number of useful inventions, among which was an im- proved journal box for which the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia awarded him. the ' Longstreth Medal. On June 23, 1903, he re- ceived a patent for an improved machine for assorting and grading cranberries. This was the only machine ever devised that would suc- cessfully remove frosted from sound cran- berries. Twenty-four of these separators were installed in his warehouse. In 1890 Mr. White in company with his brother, George Foster White, organized the Pennsylvania Ma- chine Company of Philadelphia, and operated it as sole proprietors until 1895, when he sold his interest to his brother. After that date Mr. White devoted most of his time to cran- berry culture, becoming one of the largest and most successful growers in the United States. He gave employment to six hundred and fifty people during the picking season, and in the years 1907-08 produced sixty thousand bushels of cranberries. He was president of the Growers' Cranberry Company during the first fourteen years of its existence. This co-oper- ative sales company, with headquarters in Philadelphia, was organized by a number of the oldest and largest cranberry growers of New Jersey and New England, for the purpose of selling their fruit. He was vice-president of the Farmers' National Bank of New Jersey, at Mt. Holly. Mr. White was a Republican, having filled various township offices and served on township committees, yet he was in no sense a politician or seeker after political office. He was a Friend, having been presi- dent of the board of trustees of Mt. Holly Monthly Meeting.
On November II, 1869, he married Mary

BINDER The ship "Francis and Eliza- beth" arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and September 21, 1742, her adult male passengers qualified before the authorities of the province of Penn- sylvania. Among those male passengers were John, George, Jacob, see forward, and Moses Binder. The exact relationship that existed between these men is not known.
.
(I) Jacob Binder, or Bender as the name was sometimes written, was born in Ober- isingen, Duchy of Wurtemberg, Germany, January 19, 1736, died in Kensington (an out- lying district of Philadelphia county, Pennsyl- vania, before the consolidation of the city in 1854), March 18, 1804. He emigrated to America and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, in 1754. The following records are taken from the archives of Pennsylvania, last edition, second series. He was a member of the Independent Troop of Horse and Inde- pendent Company of Foot, 1756, in the Pro- vincial service. He was a private in Captain Campbell's company (Associators), City Guard, 1776; first lieutenant of Fourth Com- pany, Third Battalion, ( Associators) Colonel Morgan commanding ; lieutenant of the Fifth Company, Second Battalion of militia, Lieuten- ant-Colonel Benjamin G. Eyre commanding, 1780. Jacob Binder married, July 28, 1767, Maria Weisbacken, this record appearing in
the Bible of William Binder, son of Jacob Binder, which is now in possession of the widow of Horace, brother of the Rev. Clar- ence K. Binder, of Camden, New Jersey, of whom this sketch treats. The record in the archives of Pennsylvania, last edition, second series, gives the date as July 27, 1767, and the name as Wisebaugh. Mr. and Mrs. Binder were the parents of a number of children among whom was William, see forward.
(II) William, son of Jacob Binder, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 24, 1768; died October 4, 1842, aged seventy-four years, five months, eleven days. He was a citizen of Philadelphia throughout his life. In 1806 he became associated with General Peter A. Muhlenberg, John Goodman and others in a society whose design was to induce the con - gregation of Sion and St. Michael's Evangeli- cal Lutheran Church (one corporation with two church edifices) to permit preaching in one of the two churches in English every Sun- day, and also to permit English catechetical instruction. William Binder acted as secre- tary of this society at its first meeting held January 8, 1806, and continued in this office until the following September when he was succeeded by Isaac Wampole. The Germans continuing obstinate in their refusal to permit any English services whatever, the society pro- ceeded to organize "St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Philadelphia and Vicin- ity." This was the first successful effort to establish a congregation of the Lutheran faith, in which the English language was to be used. William Binder was a hatter and furrier, and amassed quite a large fortune for those days. He was honored by his fellow citizens to serve them for several terms in the Pennsylvania state legislature. He married Mary Rice and among their children was William, see for- ward. The remains of William Binder, Sr., lies in St. John's burial ground, right behind the church, which is situated on the north side of Race street above Fifth street, Philadelphia. The stone that marked the spot was removed many years ago.
(III) William . (2), son of William (I) Binder, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. December 14, 1793; died in 1860, and was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery (Section O), Philadelphia. He married, prior to 1819, Louisa Elizabeth Stam, who bore him a num- ber of children among whom was George Au- gustus, see forward.
(IV) George Augustus, son of William (2) Binder, was born January 6, 1821; died Au-

gust 13, 1894, and is buried in Section O, Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia. He car- ried on the lumber business in partnership with his elder brother, Jacob, under the firm name of J. & G. A. Binder. Their place of business was at the southeast corner of Sixth and Ox- ford streets, Philadelphia. They also had a saw mill and enjoyed a monopoly of the trunk and box board business for many years. George A. Binder retired from business in 1864, owing to impaired health, after which he became an active member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Shortly after at- taining his majority he entered politics, and before the consolidation of the city in 1854 he was elected to several important offices in the old district of Penn, and was elected to represent the twentieth ward in the common branch of the first city council that was organ- ized after the consolidation of the city. At the expiration of his term of office he declined re-election and retired from politics. Mr. Binder married Miriam, daughter of Jesse and Maria or Mary (Kunckel) Trump, and grand- daughter of John Kunckel, a resident of Phila- delphia, and a soldier in the American revolu- tion, serving in a Pennsylvania regiment and wounded at the battle of Brandywine, Septem- ber II, 1777, at the time Lafayette was wound- ed in the leg and carried to Bethlehem where the Moravian sisters nursed him during his confinement. Among the children of George A. and Miriam (Trump) Binder was Clarence Kunckel, see forward.
(V) Clarence Kunckel Binder, son of George Augustus and Miriam (Trump) Binder, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 8, 1849. He attended the public schools of his native city up to his fifteenth year, when he entered the Pennsylvania Agricultural College known now as the Pennsylvania State College. He left at the end of his freshman year, and in 1865 became a pupil of Henry D. Gregory who has a school in Philadelphia on Market street, above Eleventh street. From this school he entered the Polytechnic College, leaving in March, 1866, but returning in 1867 and grad- uating with the degree of B. S. A. in 1870. Between 1870 and 1872 he was employed in the offices of several architects and of a builder in Philadelphia. In 1872 he returned to the Polytechnic College as assistant professor of mathematics, architecture and drawing. He re- signed this position in 1876 and opened an office in Philadelphia as a professional architect, con ducting the business up to August, 1879, when he returned to the Polytechnic College to take
the chair of pure mathematics, which chair he · resigned in September, 1880, in order to take up theological studies in the Lutheran Theo- logical Seminary, Philadelphia, where he com- pleted a three years course and was ordained to the ministry May 22, 1883, and on May 23 of the same year he was installed pastor of the Epiphany Evangelical Lutheran Church, Cam- den, New Jersey, where he has continued to conduct a successful pastorate to the present time (1909). The Rev. Mr. Binder is the author of a history of the Lutheran Sunday Schools of Philadelphia, and also of "A Critical Estimate of John Chryostom" (347-407), one of the early fathers and most accomplished orators of the ancient Greek church. These two papers were published in the Lutheran Church Review. He is also a contributor to current church periodicals. He holds member- ship in the Ministerium of Pennsylvania. which is a district synod of the General Council of the Lutheran Church of America. His home, study and church office is at 432 Penn street, Camden, New Jersey. Rev. Mr. Binder married, December 4, 1883, Clara, daughter of George and Mary Ann ( Becker) Shimer, of Camden, New Jersey.
The Rossell family is of Dan- ROSSELL ish origin and derives its name from one of the fiefs. The village and township of Le Rossell are in Nor- mandy, about a mile from the sea coast. The name given to the castle and the family inhabit- ing it appears to have been imposed by some of the early settlers in that part of Normandie, the name implying "the tower of the water," from Roz, the rook and castle to the chess- board, and el is synonym for eau water. The first one who appears to have used the surname of De Rossell is Hugh Bertrand, born 1021.
The lineage of the family can be traced back to the old vikings, beginning with Sveide, the Viking. 760-780, to Halfdin, 800; Ival Jahl, of Upland, 830, who married the daughter of Eisten Glumru, Count of Trondheim; Eisten Glumru, of Vorse, 870; Rogvald Jarl, of Moere, father of Rollo, Duke of Normandy ; Hrolf or Robert Turstain, 920, who married Gerlotte, daughter of Theobald, Count of Blois, then from the descendants of the barons of Briquebec to Hugh Bertrand, 1021, the father of Hugh De Rossell, whose son, Ralph De Rossell, married Agnes Deboves and establish- ed the family on English soil. From him the line runs in unbroken descent down from Will- iam De Rosell, Knight of the Shire for Derby.

in 1325, to John Rosell, an officer in Crom- well's army and the founder of the family in America.
(I) John Rosell was the Cromwellian officer referred to above, and came to this country and became one of the first settlers of Long Island in 1650, his name appearing on the char- ter of Governor Thomas Dougan.

He lived in Mount Holly and was a justice of the peace under King George III. His early and active service in the cause of the liberty of his country marked him out for the vengeance of the British and when in 1776 they overran the Jerseys, his house and other buildings were given up to the plunder of the soldiery, who dragged him to prison on foot to New York, where he suffered in common with his fellow-prisoners hard- ships peculiar to an English jail.

BACON The Bacon family of New Jersey has from the early days of the settlement of Salem county play- ed a most important part, not only in the civil and social life of the community, but also in the religious affairs of the Society of Friends, with which many and almost all of the earlier generations were associated. In these latter days numbers of the family, which is an ex- tremely large one, have formed other religious associations, especially in the Baptist denomi- nation, and in that church also they have made their mark.
