(IV) Murrell, son of Joseph Ridgway and Mary Ann (Hilyard) Dobbins, was born in Pemberton, Burlington county, New Jersey, August 29, 1843, and is now living in Philadel- phia, Pennsylvania. He received his early education at the Kellys school in Mount Holly, and afterwards attended the Friends' school at Fifteenth and Race streets, Philadelphia. Subsequently he entered but did not graduate from Burlington College. He originally in- tended to study for the ministry, in accord- ance with his parents' wishes, but finally de- ciding that he had no vocation for the work, he learned the trade of brick mason and went into business for himself, becoming a manu- facturer and increasing both his output and his plant until he is to-day president of the Camden Pottery Company of Camden, New Jersey, of which his son, Thomas Munroe Dobbins, is secertary and treasurer. He was the organizer and first president of the Penn- sylvania Society of New Jersey, and he is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. He is also a member of the Union League Club of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and the Bricklayers' Company of Philadelphia. He is a member of Franklin Lodge, No. 134, F. and A. M., of Philadel- phia ; of Chapter No. 169, R. A. M., of Phila- delphia; of St. John's Commandery No. 4. K. T., of Philadelphia. He is a Republican in politics, and has served for many years on both the Board of Trade and Board of Edu- cation of Philadelphia. He is also president of the Board of Eastern Pennsylvania State Prison Inspectors, and in November, 1909, was elected city treasurer of Philadelphia. Among the many financial interests with which he is identified are the Builders' Exchange of Philadelphia, the John Wyeth Company of
Philadelphia, of which he is vice-president, and the Third National Bank of Philadelphia, of which he is a director and former presi- dent. Mr. Dobbins has also been elected an honorary member of the old Relief Fire Com- pany of Mount Holly, of which his grand- father was an original charter member. He married, in Philadelphia, January 26, 1871, Emily, daughter of Captain Thomas Gold- smith and Hester West (Art) Munroe, of Philadelphia. Her grandfather was William Munroe, of Annapolis, of the distinguished Maryland family of that name, and her mother was the daughter of Captain Bailey Art of Lewis, Delaware. Children : I. Laura Eve- lyn, to whose courtesy and labors much of the present sketch is due. 2.

(The Ridgway Line).
Richard Ridgway, the founder of the family of his name in America, was a native of Berk- shire, England, where the name had been prominent for many generations. His father's grandfather, Thomas Ridgway, is said to have been held in high favor by both Queen Eliz- abeth and King James I., and to have been the intimate friend and companion of Robert Cecil, the son of Lord Burleigh, who became the first Earl of Salisbury and prime minister of Queen Elizabeth and King James I., and the ancestor of the late Robert Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury, England's famous prime minis- ter. At the baptism of Thomas Ridgway's eldest son, we are told, his friend Robert Cecil stood godfather and gave him his own name Robert. Shortly after his first marriage Rich- ard Ridgway, his wife and his eldest child, left Wallingford, Berkshire, and sailed for the new world in the ship "Jacob and Mary," of London, which arrived in the Delaware river in September, 1679. On the 12th of that month he was in Burlington, but after a short stay there removed to Crewcorn, in what is now Falls township, Bucks county, Pennsyl- vania, where we find him on April 12, 1680. signing the petition to the Governor to sup- press the sale of "brandy and strong liquors to ye Indians." Six years later, May 3, 1686, the governor's council at Philadelphia recommend him as "a fitt pson for ye Keeping an Ordi- nary," and his petition for a license was therefor granted. October 7, 1690, he bought six hundred acres in Maidenhead, west of the province line, and running from the Great
II74

Meadows at Port Mercer northward for about a mile. Here he lived several years, and on February 7, 1697, purchased from John Hol- lingshead a farm in the township of Spring- field, Burlington county, New Jersey, whereon he afterwards resided, giving one acre of his property to the Society of Friends for a meet- inghouse and burying-ground. The original building has disappeared, but the acre is still used for the purposes indicated in the deed. August 8, 1700, he was appointed a judge or justice of Burlington county, and held the office until April, 1720. He married (first) in England, Elizabeth, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Chamberlayne, of Wiltshire, who died a Crewcorn, March 31, 1692. He married (sec- ond) before February 1, 1693-4, Abigail, daughter of Richard and Abigail Stockton; (see Stockton). This marriage "not being to friends order," the Chesterfield Monthly Meet- ing appointed Mahlon Stacy and Robert Wil- son to inquire and remonstrate with Richard and Abigail, and the result was that, April 25, 1694, the two sent a paper to the Monthly Meeting "condemning their outgoing in mar- riage." From this it would seem that they had been married by a justice of the peace. Richard Ridgway died between September 21, 1722, and April 5, 1723. Abigail (Stockton) Ridgway, survived him only a few years, dying between March 8 and December 19, 1726. Children, seven by first marriage: I.

BLEYTHING The Bleything family of Morris county is of Welsh origin, and its name is traceable back beyond the date of the Saxon conquest. The original form of the name ap- pears to have been Blethyn, or Blethin, and sev- eral members of the family in England to-day still spell their name in one of these forms. The home of the founder of the American family was Wrexham, county Denbigh, Wales, near the border of the Cheshire Marches.

Shortly afterwards he set up in business for himself in Newark, where for more than half a century he was one of the most promi- nent master plumbers in the city. About 1901 he retired from active business, and his home was 22 North Munn avenue, East Orange. He took a great interest in the military affairs of the country before the civil war, and in 1855 was elected ensign of the Second Battalion, American Continentals. When the civil war broke out he enlisted in the Ninth New Jersey Regiment of Volunteers, and owing to his previous military experience he was at once promoted captain, and as such took part in many important engagements. He was a past commander of Lincoln Post, G. A. R., of Newark, and until his last illness took an active interest in its affairs.
