The account of this family was furnished by Watson Comly of Byberry.
62 Thomas Tomlinson's father fought against Charles I in Eng- land and was one of the officers who conducted him to the scaffold.
63 Henry Tomlinson lived in Bensalem and was a farmer, as well as a carpenter. In politics he was a Tory and says of a visitor to Byberry Meeting that he spoke well, nothwithstanding the fact that he was a Whig. For about sixty years previous to his death he made memorandums of important occurrences. A portion of this diary relating to the Revolutionary War, has been inserted in this work.

THE SHEARER FAMILY .*
JACOB SHEARER emigrated to America from Berne, Switzerland. He died prior to the Revolution, and left. seven children: Jacob, known as Jacob Shearer, Sr., Jonathan, Henry, William, Catharine, Mary, and Eliza- beth.
JACOB SHEARER, SR., was born in Moreland, in the year 1755. At the commencement of the Revolution he en- tered the Continental Army as a private, but was after- wards made a captain, in which capacity he served until the close of the war. He was in several minor engage- ments, also in the Battle of Germantown. Throughout the whole struggle, he steadily relied on the success of the American Army, even amid its most discouraging re- verses, and his sword, now in the possession of his grand- son, Jacob Shearer, bears this motto on its blade, "The Got whome we serve is able to deliver us." During the war he casually formed the acquaintance of Lafayette, by whom he was pleasantly remembered on the return of "the nation's guest" to this country in 1824. He was accustomed to relate to his children many anecdotes in connection with this acquaintance. Jacob Shearer was elected a member of the Pennsylvania House of Repre- sentatives, in 1805, and continued in that office until 181I. he served until 1817. He held several other offices, among

He then married her sister, Sarah Northrop, by whom he had three children, Eliza- beth, John, and Jacob.

JACOB SHEARER, JR., inherited the qualities of his father, and became prominent early in life as a politician. Few things indeed transpired in the townships without being more or less influenced by him. After serving in all the township offices, such as supervisor, assessor, school director, etc., he was elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature, where he acquired considerable reputation for his sound judgment. On the rise of the Native Ameri- can party he was by them nominated as a candidate for Congress, but was defeated by Charles J. Ingersoll. After this he withdrew from the active field of politics. He married Margaret Pitman, of the Baldwin family, and settled on the old homestead in Moreland, where he spent his whole life.

THE HISTORY OF
CONCLUSION.
THE history of Byberry and Moreland is now com- pleted. It would be folly for us to expect it to be free from errors, for it has been obtained almost entirely from old manuscripts, some of which were not easily decipher- ed ; yet nothing has been inserted unless there was a strong probability of its truth; and we think it will be found as reliable as any similar production heretofore published.
The preparation of this history was commenced many months since, but the difficulties attending its compilation were so great that we often despaired of ever completing it.
The cares and perplexities of business were so mani- fold, that nothing but an ardent attachment to our native place, its people, and its institutions, could have induced us to deny ourselves the many hours of needed recreation and even of sleep that were necessary to work the matter into its present condition. But this has been done; and now that the toil is over, we can revert with satisfaction to the many pleasant hours which we have thus spent in looking over the records of bygone times, and tracing the pages written by hands long since mingled with the dust. From these we have learned some of the many difficulties attending the early settlement, and can picture to our- selves the destitute condition of those primitive settlers who left comfortable homes in Old England and came over here to reclaim the uncultivated wilds of America. We have traced their history as generation succeeded generation, carefully noting the improvements which from time to time were introduced, the rise and progress of the

religious institutions, and the introduction of schools and societies for the diffusion of learning,-that talisman which so effectually dispels the dark and dangerous clouds of error and superstition. We have viewed them almost in a state of semi-barbarism, living the lives of the sav- ages around them, and we have watched them emerging from this condition as each succeeding generation became better and better acquainted with the teachings of science and reason, until they now stand confessedly in the first ranks of an enlightened people, with institutions in their midst, which, we trust, will forever dispel all dreams of witchcraft and similar follies, and leave the human mind to be guided by the light of truth and religion. It has been under a government-the best the world ever saw- that our forefathers of Byberry and Moreland have been so prosperous and happy ; and that that government may continue in all its glory and efficiency, so that the sons and daughters of these lovely districts may, for all time to come, bask in the sunshine of peace and prosperity, under the benign influence of this republic, is the earnest wish of the author.
