unpleasant traits are apparent. Joshua committed suicide by hanging himself to a tree in front of his house, and was buried in one of his back fields. His widow died 12th mo. 18th, 1759. For many years after the death of Joshua the premises were believed by the superstitious to be haunted, and "marvellous tales were told of sights, sounds, and presentations, terrific in their nature." Men were actually frightened from the "Timber Swamp" in the daytime, but the ghosts have since departed. Joshua left three sons: Joshua, who died in 1779; Albertson, and Jonathan.
(5.) JOSEPH, married Esther, daughter of John Carver, of Buckingham. Children: Richard and Rachel.
(6.) BENJAMIN, was born in Byberry about 1693. He married Rebecca Homer, in 1724, by whom he had nine children. He settled on his father's farm in Byberry, and was prosperous in business. He was a member with Friends, and much respected by his contemporaries. He died in IIth mo. 1753; and his widow in 8th mo., 1783,
aged 79 years. Rebecca was much esteemed, and her virtues are handed down to us in some verses made by James Thornton, Jr., shortly after her decease. Their children were, Elizabeth, Mary, Daniel, Hannah, Rebecca, Sarah, Benjamin, Esther, and William.
(7.) MARY, married William Homer, and settled where William Carter56 now lives. She died in 1788. Her sons, "Taff, Joe, and Jake, were bachelors, lounging about home and drinking a great deal of whiskey." They were called "The young Homers," being from their father's second wife.

(II.) ALBERTSON, lived where George Weiss57 now owns. During the Revolutionary War his attachment to the British led him to secrete his title-papers in a hollow tree, and join the English army in New York. He re- turned to Byberry after the war, but was taken and tried for treason. He was acquitted, but lost his title-papers, and had to apply to the Legislature to make his title good. He died in 1821, aged 90 years. Children: Jesse, Wil- liam, and Jonathan.
(12.) JONATHAN, was born in Byberry, where Watson Tomlinson now lives, about 1733. He never married ; but in early life was very anxious to accumulate property, and frequently plowed all night. He removed to a farm on Old York road, near Hartsville, where he spent the most of his life, and where he died in 1790. He is partic- ularly noted for the legacy left to Byberry Meeting, called "Walton's Donation," for schooling poor children. This amounted to $886.46, the income of which has been judic- iously applied to the benefit of many children who would most probably have otherwise grown up without any

(I.) WILLIAM WALTON AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
(I.) WILLIAM, one of the four brothers, married Sarah Howell, 4th mo. 20th, 1689 (O. S.), and located near the present residence of Josiah Walton.60 He was the first preacher of Byberry Meeting after the Keithian separation, and continued the principal, if not the only one, for the next forty years. But little account of his religious labors has been preserved; but his ministry met with the approval of the Meeting, and he was recom- mended as a minister. In 1717, he visited all the families belonging to Byberry Meeting; and in 1721, in company with Richard Busby, paid a religious visit to Maryland, Virginia, and Carolina. This gave great satisfaction to those visited, and on his return he produced several certifi-

cates from meetings visited, stating that they "felt great unity with his visit of love." He again visited the families of Byberry in 1723, and was then accompanied by Henry Comly. He died 12th mo. 9th, 1736-7 (O. S.), and left ten children: Rachel, Isaac, Jeremiah, Jacob, Sarah, Wil- liam, Abel, Job, Hannah, and Mary. Although this family was so large, and many of their descendants still reside in Horsham, yet very few are now living within the vicin- ity of Byberry.
The name of William Walton has been so frequently adopted that it is amusing, without intending any disre- spect, to note how the different men were designated. The first was William Walton, the preacher ; besides him we have "William, Jr .; William Walton, Benjamin's son ; William Walton, Isaac's son; William Walton, Job's son; William Walton, Abel's son; Billy Thornton Walton; Jersey Billy ; Shoemaker Billy; Duke Billy; Pony Billy; Hector Billy ; Billy Duke; Soldier Billy ; Shoe. Billy's son Bill; Pony Billy's son Bill; and Hector Billy's son Bill."

He lived at one time in New Jersey, hence the name of "Jersey Billy." He was a strong man, and considered himself in his prime at 65. He probably had more enjoyment in catching "coons and wild pig- eons," and sports of a similar character, than any other man in the township. He loved to converse upon his hunting adventures, and knew every place frequented by game in the vicinity. He shot the last bear killed in either township, in a large tree back of where George E.

THE WORTHINGTON FAMILY .*
The WORTHINGTONS came originally from Lancashire, England. The first of them that emigrated to America were three brothers, John, Samuel, and Thomas, who reached Byberry in 1705. Two others, Daniel and Richard, are mentioned about the same period, but they were probably of a different family.
In the records of Abington Meeting, we find that
* I am indebted to Thomas Warner, of Wrightstown, for the greater part of the genealogy of this family.
378
THE HISTORY OF
"Daniel Worthington brought a certificate there for him- self and wife from Philadelphia, 10th mo. 30th, 1728."
An old family record of Wrightstown states that Richard Worthington and wife were living there previous to 1750. They had children: Mahlon, born 12th mo. 19th, 1750, married Mary Paxson; John, born 9th mo. 2Ist, 1753, died in infancy; Joseph, born 9th mo. 19th, 1754, married Rebecca Willet; Mary, born 2d mo. 5th, 1756, married Matthew Wood; Thomas, born 7th mo. 4th, 1758, married Amy Paxson; Sarah, born 5th mo. Ist, 1760, married John Wetherill; Elizabeth, born Ist mo. 4th, 1762, married Edmund Plumly; Tamor, born 10th mo. 20th, 1763, married Jesse Lacey ; John, born 8th mo. Ist, 1765; Hannah, born 5th mo. 18th, 1767, married Francis Hood; Letitia, born 4th mo. 18th, 1769, married Joseph Collins ; William, born 4th mo. 8th, 1771, married Thorn; and Isaac, born Ist mo. 20th, 1773, married Elizabeth Marcelius.
Besides Daniel and Richard, the record of Abington mentions the children of Thomas and Hannah Worthing- ton as follows: Rebecca, born Ist mo. 17th, 1752; John, born 9th mo. Ist, 1753; William, born 6th mo. 4th, 1755; Joseph, born 10th mo. 28th, 1757 ; but no further account of them has been found.
Thomas, one of the three brothers, was received as a member by the Monthly Meeting of Friends, at Bucking- ham and Wrightstown, in 1732. About two years subse- quently he obtained a certificate to Abington Monthly Meeting. From 1733 to 1759 he was at Byberry. In the latter year he had a difficulty with one Dunkin, but noth- ing further is known of him.

Samuel, one of the three brothers, took a certificate for himself and wife to Abington, 10th mo. 28th, 1724. They had been lately married. They settled in Byberry, where they remained until 1732. Some time after that they re- moved to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where they spent the remainder of their days. It is said their descend- ants have very much increased, and that one of them was a member of Congress, and another a Governor of the Ohio Territory.
(I.) JOHN, the eldest of the three brothers, was a: weaver. He married Mary, daughter of Thomas Walms- ley, about 1720, and settled on property since occupied by Joshua Worthington, in the northern end of Byberry. He was an active member of Byberry Meeting, and was much respected. His wife died 4th mo. 18th, 1754, and he died Ist mo. 14th, 1777, aged 80 years.
