STACKHOUSE The ancestry of the Stackhouse family is traced back in England to 1086, and in America to 1682, at which time Thomas Stackhouse, and his uncle, also Thomas Stackhouse, came here. The elder Thomas Stackhouse was born at Stack- house, a village near Settle, Yorkshire, England, about 1635. He and his wife, Margery ( Heahurst) Stackhouse, arrived at New Castle, Delaware, 10 mo. 27, 1682, and settled on a tract of land on the Neshaminy creek, in the section now known as Langhorne, Middletown township, Bucks county, Penn- sylvania. His wife died 11 mo. 15. 1682, a short time after their arrival at their new home, and this was one of the first burials at Middletown. Thomas Stackhouse married (second) at Middletown Meeting, I mo. 1702, Margaret, widow of Christopher Atkinson, and settled at Bensalem township, where he died in 1700 in his seventy-first year. His will was proved 9 mo. 2, 1706, and as no children are mentioned it is presumed that he left none.
(1) Thomas Stackhouse, nephew of the Thomas Stackhouse in the pre- ceding paragraph, and great-grandson of the Benjamin Stackhouse who wrote the Stackhouse Bible in 1617, is supposed to have been twenty-one years of age when he arrived in this country, which was probably in the year 1682. He died 4 mo. 26, 1744, and was buried at Middletown. He represented Bucks county in the colonial assembly of the province, 1711, 1713 and 1715, and was re-elected the following year but refused to serve. Mr. Stackhouse married (first) at Middletown Meeting, 7 mo. 27, 1688, Grace, born I mo. 14, 1667, died 8 mo. 8. 1708, daughter of Robert and Alice Heaton ; he married (sec- ond) at Falls Meeting, 1 mo. 1, 1711, Ann, widow of Edward Mayos; she died 5 mo. 6, 1724; he married (third) at Wrightstown Meeting, 8 mo. 1725, Dorothy, widow of Zebulon Heston, who survived him. Children of first marriage : Samuel, John, Robert, see forward ; Henry, Grace, Alice, Thomas, Joseph, Benjamin. Children of second marriage: Isaac, Jacob, Ann, Sarah, Isaac. There were no children by the third marriage.
(11) Robert, son of Thomas and Grace (Heaton) Stackhouse, was born 9 mo. 8, 1692, and died in 1788 at the advanced age of ninety-six years. He removed with his family to Berwick, on the Susquehanna river, Pennsylvania, where he resided up to the time of his death. He married Margaret Stone

and had children: Thomas, Joseph, James, see forward; Grace, Benjamin, Alice, William, Robert, who was killed by a fall from his horse in 1788, at which time he was forty-eight years of age.
(III) James, son of Robert and Margaret (Stone) Stackhouse, was born II mo. II, 1725 or 1726, died 5 mo. 16, 1759, and his remains were interred at Arch street cemetery. He married Martha, born 4 mo. 27, 1722, died 6 mo. 24, 1806, daughter of Samuel and Mary Hastings. Children: Mar- garet, Hastings, Mary, Amos. Martha, James. Amos, see forward : William.
The Hastings family trace their ancestry back to the year 1843, when "Hastings the First," a sea king or pirate Norman chieftain, invaded France and after plundering the provinces of the Louvre, returned to Denmark or Norway. The following year he entered the Seine, approached as far as Paris, and returned to his own country laden with the spoils. In the year 893 he appeared off the county of Kent. England, and entered the Thames, but was defeated by Alfred the Great, who made prisoners of his wife and two sons and only restored them to him upon the condition that he depart the kingdom. It is claimed by the author of "Pictures of Hastings," that the town of Hastings, near the sea coast, where the battle of Hastings occurred, was named in honor of this Danish pirate. In the year 1200, Henry, Lord Hastings, married Adama, daughter of David, Earl of Huntington, and brother of William, King of Scotland, who, dying without issue, John Hast- ings, son of Henry Hastings, became a competitor for that crown with John Balliol and Robert Bruce. In the early records of Chester county, Pennsyl- vania, the name of Henry Hastings as a juror is found as early as September 13, 1681, and as the ship "John and Sarah." from London, and "Factor." from Bristol, did not arrive until the twelfth of the fourth month following, it is supposed that the Hastings family, who owned a large tract of land on the Delaware river between Chester and Marcus Hook, were a part of the New Haven colony that settled on the Delaware about 1640. Joshua Hastings, sup- posed to be a son of Henry Hastings, resided in the neighborhood of Chester, represented the county in the colonial assembly, and removed to Philadelphia about 1700. Two sons survived him, John and Samuel: John married Grace Stackhouse, daughter of Robert Stackhouse, and their son Samuel Hastings married Mary Hill, who bore him a daughter. Martha, who became the wife of James Stackhouse.
(1\) Amos, third son of James and Martha (Hastings) Stackhouse, was born 5 mo. 4. 1757, died 4 mo. 5. 1825. He married, I mo. 14, 1779, Mary, born 7 mo. 9, 1763, died 7 mo. 15, 1841, daughter of John and Susanna Powell. Children : Susanna, Hastings, Martha, Powell. see forward : Esther, Martha, James, Samuel, Amos, Robert, Robert, Mary, Jolin.
The earliest ancestor of the Powell family of whom there is authentic record was William Powell, who signed with John Woolston and two hundred and ten other Friends the Yearly Meetings' epistle of the 7 mo. 1692, against George Keith. Robert Powell, presumably a brother of William Powell, came in the ship "Kent." 6 mo. 16. 1677. O.S., and settled near Burlington, West Jersey. Among the children born to Robert Powell and his wife Pru- dence, was a son, John Powell, who married Elizabeth Woolston. They were the parents of six children, the youngest of whom was Isaac Powell, who mar- ried Elizabeth Purdey, and their eldest son. John Powell. by his marriage to Susanna Bryan. became the father of four children, the eldest of whom was Mary, who became the wife of Amos Stackhouse.
(V) Powell, son of Amos and Mary (Powell) Stackhouse, was born at Mount Holly, New Jersey, 3 mo. 21. 1785. died 12 mo. 27, 1863. He was a young lad when he was brought to the city of Philadelphia, where he learned

the trade of cabinet making. Later he became a pattern maker. and finally a foundryman. He built a foundry in Coates' alley, above Front street, and conducted his business there very successfully until he retired in 1840, at which time he installed his son Amos in it. His death occurred at his home at Nos. 256-8 North Front street. He was a staunch supporter of Quaker tenets and frequently preached to his fellow Friends. He married, I mo, 31, 1809, Edith, born I mo. 16, 1787, died HI mo. 1, 1865, daughter of Charles and Mary ( Taylor) Dilworth. Children: 1. Charles D., born November 1, Soy: married.

He settled in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and his death occurred I mo. 3. 1698. William, son of James and Ann ( Waln) Dilworth, married Sarah, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Webb, and their eldest son, James Dilworth, married Lydia, daughter of George and Lydia Martin. Among the children born of this union was a son, Charles Dilworth, who married at Trinity Episcopal Church, Oxford township, I mo. 27, 1765, Mary, daughter of John and Sarah Taylor. Eight children were the issue of this union, one of whom, Edith Dilworth, became the wife of Powell Stackhouse.
(VI) Emlen, son of Powell and Edith (Dilworth) Stackhouse, was born in Philadelphia. He married and settled on the farm which was the Meredith homestead, on which his wife was born and which came to her by inheritance. He was of a quiet and retiring disposition, and never held public office, al- though he was a staunch supporter of the Republican party. Like all of his family he was a member of the Society of Friends. He married Catherine, a daughter of Joseph Meredith, who was brought to Delaware county from Montgomery county, where he was born. He married and bought a farm of two hundred acres in Edgemont township, and he and his wife were mem- bers of the Society of Friends. They had children: Alice, who married Charles D. Stackhouse, and occupied a part of the family homestead, and Catherine, mentioned above. Emlen and Catherine ( Meredith) Stackhouse had children: 1.

(VII) Emlen (2), son of Emlen (1) and Catherine (Meredith) Stack- house, was born in Edgemont, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the public schools of Howellville, and was brought up on the homestead farm. At the age of sixteen years he left home to go to Willistown, Chester county, Penn- sylvania. where he remained four years, learning the milling and lumber bus- iness thoroughly. He then returned to his home and there managed the farm for a period of ten years. After his marriage he rented a farm which he cul- tivated for a period of three years, after which he went to Haverford, where he rented an old-fashioned saw and grist mill on the Merris Leedom estate, which he conducted successfully for six years. March 1, 1893, he came to Lansdowne and established himself in the coal and feed business on Burmont avenue, and has been identified with this since that time. He is a strong sup- porter of the Republican party, and his religious affiliation is with the Quakers. He married, March 2, 1883, Ida, born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, daugh- ter of Levis and Phoebe (Hall) Rogers.
COOPER While a branch of the Cooper family settled in Chester county, Pennsylvania, in 1675, the ancestors of this branch settled first in New England, where William Cooper, an English emi- grant, took part in King Philip's war. Later he came to New Jersey, where he owned a tract of land where now in part stands the city of Camden. His seven sons settled in the now states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Georgia. One of these sons was the ancestor of James Fenimore Cooper, the noted author, and from another sprang James Cooper, grand- father of Thomas V. Cooper, the patriotic journalist of Delaware county, Pennsylvania.
James Cooper, born at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was the son of a revo- lutionary soldier, who was an orderly under Washington : was promoted lieu- tenant, and after the war settled in Pittsburgh. When Lafayette visited Pittsburgh in 1824, Lieutenant Cooper had the distinction of being the oldest revolutionary soldier present at the reception given the distinguished French- man. james Cooper, son of Lieutenant Cooper, lived to the wonderful age of ninety-nine years, but even this was almost equalled by one of his sons, Major Samuel Cooper, who lived to be ninety-seven years of age, and at the age of seventy-seven years entered the military service of his country during the war between the North and the South. He was also the author of the Scott- Cooper system of military drill long in use in the United States army.
Dr. J. W. Cooper, another son of James Cooper, was a skillful physician, residing at different times in New York, Philadelphia and Chester, Pennsyl- vania, the latter city having been his home for more than a half century. Dr. Cooper commanded a company of militia, the Pennsylvania Blues, and with his company took active part in suppressing the Anti-Catholic riots in Phila- delphia in 1844. He married Henrietta Fields, of Hagerstown, Maryland, who bore hini seven children.
Thomas V. Cooper, son of Dr. J. W. and Henrietta (Fields) Cooper, was born January 16, 1835, in Cadiz, Ohio, where for a short time only his parents resided. and died in Media. Pennsylvania, December 19, 1909, the

result of an accident. He obtained a good English education, learned the art of typesetting and printing before he was twenty years of age, and in 1855 founded, in association with Dr. D. A. Vernon, the "Media Advertiser." The following year the name was changed to the "Media Advertiser and Delaware County American," and in 1859 the present title, "Delaware County American," was adopted. From 1855 until his death, a period of fifty-four years, Mr. Cooper was connected editorially with the "American," excepting the civil war period, when he was in the field, there striving as a soldier to uphold the cause he had advocated as a journalist. He was at the time of his death one of the very few editors in Pennsylvania who, with pen and type, aided in creating the sentiment that brought the Republican party into being, and advocated the election of the candidates of that party in 1856, and for a half a century thereafter continued unfailingly to support the same party. Mr. Cooper was an alternate delegate to the Republican Convention of 1860 that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the presidency, and voted the delegates of his congressional district for Mr. Lincoln, whose nomination was assured by the withdrawal of Simon Cameron and the releasing of the Cameron delegates.
On April 19, 1861, the 26th Pennsylvania Regiment passed through Bal- timore, en route to Washington and, while not suffering from mob attack so severely as the Massachusetts regiment, had rather an unpleasant experience. Shortly afterward Mr. Cooper enlisted in Company C of that regiment, serv- ing three years with the army of the Potomac, in victory or defeat, the great- est army ever assembled in this country. He was mustered out with the 26th Regiment in front of Independence Hall, June 14, 1864. The battle flags of the regiment are inscribed with the names of many of the historic battles of the war between the states: Yorktown, Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Savage Station, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville ( where they lost one hundred men), Gettysburg (where they lost two hundred and sixteen men, and withstood a desperate charge), the Wil- derness and Spottsylvania Courthouse (where they captured two pieces of ar- tillery). In all his glorious career Mr. Cooper bore a part, escaping the perils of war and returning to Media in safety.
He at once repurchased his interest in the "American," and never again laid down the pen or its editorial management until he joined his Great Com- mander. As his sons came of age they were admitted to the business, which was conducted until his death as T. V. Cooper & Sons and is so continued in behalf of the estate. To these sons much of the business detail was commit- ted, but the editorial page was never surrendered, although from 1869 until his death, Mr. Cooper was continuously in the service of state or nation. In 1869 he was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Assembly, was defeated in 1871, and re-elected in 1872. In 1873 he was elected state senator, re- elected continuously until 1889, and in 1878, was president of the senate. In 188g he was appointed by President Harrison, collector of the Port of Philadelphia, serving four and a half years. During this period he collected without the loss of a single dollar, the immense sum of $80,000,000. In 1900 he was again elected to the House of Assembly, and in 1902 was re- elected. During his long term as a legislator he served on many committees, held important chairmanships, and exerted personally and through the col- umns of the "American," a deep influence on legislation and party policies. From 1881 to 1889 he was chairman of the Republican State Central Com- mittee, and in 1902, its treasurer. He was always a strong figure in party councils and conventions ; had always the courage of his convictions, a born leader, yet always open to the advice of his associates, but not easily swerved.

He was one of the old school of politicians who won his way with men with- out resort to the brutal tactics of the modern "boss," a term that implies none of the qualities of real leadership so richly possessed by Thomas \. Cooper. He was a believer in Methodism as a church of strength and power, his fam- ily, however, being Episcopalians. He was a member of George W. Bartram Lodge. Free and Accepted Masons, and of Bradbury Post. Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Cooper married, in 1858, Ada F. Turner, who died in 1901, daughter of Frederick Turner, the publisher, of Philadelphia. Children : I. Ada S. T., married William T. Dickenson, and has Ada Virgina.
2. Frederick T. Cooper, born September 14. 1865: educated in the pri- vate school of Miss Mary Walters, and Shortlidge's Academy at Media, and began newspaper work with the "Chester Evening News." later was admitted to partnership with his father in the management of the "Delaware County American," and is now senior partner of the firm of T. V. Cooper & Sons, in active management of the "American," concededly the largest, most modernly equipped and successful of all Pennsylvania county weeklies. Its patronage is phenomenal, the paper going into nearly every home of Delaware, one of the richest counties in Eastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Cooper is a member of the Sons of Veterans and of the Media Fire Department. He married, in 1890, Elizabeth A. Field, and has a son, Thomas V., a midshipman in the United States Navy.
3. Percival V. Cooper, born November 13, 1867 ; educated in Shortlidge's Academy and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, later taking post-graduate courses there and at the University of Pennsylvania in chemistry. For ten years he was a partner with Mr. Dickenson in Media and Morton, Pennsyl- vania, in the drug business. In 1898 he was admitted to the firm of T. V. Cooper & Sons, and has ever since been connected with the publication of the "American." He is an enthusiast on the subject of fine poultry, and is an expert authority on many of the fancy breeds. He was appointed justice of the peace, May 6, 1906, by Governor Pennypacker, and has twice been elected to that office by the people. He ntarried, April 29, 1897. Emily J. Beale, and has a son, Donaldson B., born December 16, 1898. Mr. Cooper is a member of the college fraternity, Zeta Phi; Brookhaven Grange, No. 731, Patrons of Hus- bandry, and the Sons of Veterans : he is a Republican in politics, and a mem- ber of the Methodist Episcopal church.
4. Thomas V. Cooper Jr. was born April 19. 1874: educated at Short- lidge's Academy, and the University of Pennsylvania. He was early inducted into the newspaper business with his father and brothers, and is now junior member of T. V. Cooper & Sons. He married Adia R. Hitner, of Norris- town, Pennsylvania.
5. Nina Virgina Cooper, born July 29, 1877, deceased : married William Ashmead Dyer, treasurer of the Cambridge Trust Company, of Chester.
6. Susan T. Cooper, born in June, 1880. married William E. Rice, of Philadelphia.
The Cooper brothers are all experienced newspaper men and, trained under the eye and direction of their honored father, have continued the business of T .V. Cooper & Sons most successfully, and have kept the "American" in the front rank of country weeklies, setting an example of real worth to papers of much greater pretentions.

At this juncture, in a volume devoted to the careers of repre-
PALMER sentative citizens of Delaware county. Pennsylvania, it is a pleasure to insert a brief history of Samuel Palmer, who has ever been on the alert to forward all measures and enterprises projected for the good of the general welfare and who served his home city of Chester in the capacity of fireman for a period of twenty-nine years, of which he was fire chief for three years and first assistant chief three years. He retired from the office of chief of the Felton Fire Company of Chester in 1905, and since that time has been devoting his attention to the brick manufacturing business, in which line of enterprise he has been interested for forty years.
