(The Richmond Line).
Richmond as a surname is derived from the locality of Richmond, a parish in County York (North Riding). Recorded there at the time of Edward I, and in only one other county, namely, County Somerset, in the fourteenth century, were Richemonde and Richeman, evidently used as one name. The name is derived from the French "riche" and "monte" and appears in English history of Rychemonde, Richemount, Richmonte and Richmond. According to Savage this Richmond fam-

ily was from Wiltshire. There is record of the name in Yorkshire, which appears as the earliest home, as far back as the reign of Edward I. The Wiltshire line was descended from the Yorkshire Richmonds, and was a line of great distinction.
(Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames," p. 645. J. B. Richmond : "The Richmond Family," p. vii. J. Savage: "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England," Vol. III, p. 539. W. Spooner : "Historic Families of America," Vol. II, pp. 224, 225.)
(I) JOHN RICHMOND, traditionally from Ashton Keynes, a parish of Wilt- shire, England, near Crichlade, where his baptism is said to be recorded, was born in England about 1593-94, as he calls himself aged seventy in 1663, and died in Taunton, Massachusetts, March 20, 1663-64, his will being dated December 14, 1663 .. It is possible that John Richmond came to Saco, Maine, in a trading vessel in 1635, for one of that name was there. John Richmond was one of the older men in the settlement at Taunton, Massachusetts, and one of the original pur- chasers in 1637. He was not in the list of 1643, although at that time he was probably over sixty, and it is thought that he went to Rhode Island before that year. He was in Newport in 1655-57, and in 1656 was a member of the Court of Commissioners at Portsmouth. Before 1640 he took the oath of fidelity. He returned to Taunton, where he died. The Richmond family were large landhold- ers. A village still bears their name (Richmondtown). He left property to his eldest son, John, and to his son-in-law, William Paule, and Mary, his wife; Edward Rew and Sarah, his wife ; grandchild, Edward (son of Edward), and Thomas (son of John). Children :
I. John, of whom further.
2. Edward, born in 1632, died in November, 1696; married (first) Abigail Davis; mar- ried (second), in Little Compton, Rhode Island, Amey Bull.
3. Sarah, born about 1638, died at Berkley, Massachusetts, in 1691; married (first) Edward Rew; married (second), November 4, 1678, James Walker; married (third) Nicholas Houghton.

I. J. N. Arnold: "Vital Record of Rhode Island," Vol. IV, p. 151. W. Spooner : "Historic Families of America," Vol. II, p. 232.)
(II) JOHN RICHMOND, son of John Richmond, was born in England about 1627, probably in Ashton Keynes, County Wilts, and died in Taunton, Massachu- setts, October 7, 1715, aged eighty-eight. He was on the freemen's list in 1683; served as constable in Taunton in 1674 and 1685, one of the town council in 1676, and one of a committee to distribute contributions of Christians in Ireland, to the sufferers in the Indian War, 1677. We find John Richmond's name in a list of shareholders of the Taunton Iron Works, and in 1695 he was one of the signers for the deed granting rights to Thomas and James Leonard "to dig ore anywhere in the vicinity, at one shilling per ton." This grant resulted in the Chartley Iron Works in 1696-97. John Richmond married twice, the record of his first wife's name is unknown; he married (second), before 1663, Abigail Rogers, descended from Thomas Rogers of the "Mayflower." Children of first marriage :
I. Mary, of whom further.
2. John, born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, June 6, 1656, probably died before Decem- ber, 1673.

(The Sergeant Line).
The derivation of the surname Sergeant, or Sargent, finds its basis in the Latin phrase "servientes armorum," that is, men discharging a military service and hence soldiers, and from the ancient term "serviens and legum," serjeant of the law, in very early widespread use, and thus is derived the name of Sargent of the present day. The name is found in all early English records under such spellings as le Serjiant, le Serjant, and le Serjannt.
(Bardsley: "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) THOMAS SERGEANT was of Ffulford Heath in the parish of Soly-Hill, in the County of Warwick. He was a yeoman. His name is found in the church records at the time of the marriage of his daughter, Esther, of whom further.
(M. B. Allen : "Reminiscences of the Baylies and Richmond Families," pp. 5-7.)
(II) ESTHER SERGEANT, daughter of Thomas Sergeant, was born in County Warwick, England, in 1687, and died May 7, 1754. She married Thomas Baylies. (Baylies I.)

The Lowland Scotch family name Houston, which was derived from "the ancient knightly family, so-called, originally bore the name of Paduinan, from a place in county Lanark. In the twelfth century Hugh de Paduinan acquired lands of Kilpeter, and built a residence there, to which he gave the name of Hugh's Town, now Houston, County Renfrew. His descendants of that ilk borrowed their name from it."
(Lower : "Patronymica Britannica.")
(I) JOHN HOUSTON, of the Houstons of County Antrim, Ireland, who died in 1769, was a descendant of the Houstons who settled under Montgomery and Hamilton in counties Antrim and Down before 1610. He has been almost con- clusively established as a son or grandson of Colonel Robert Houston, of Gregg, County Antrim, who commanded a regiment of Covenantors at the siege of Derry, and was included in the Great Act of Attainder of 1689. It is very likely that with the Virginia ancestors of General Sam Houston, of Texas, and the Houstons of Georgia and South Carolina, this family is a collateral branch of the Houstons of Renfrewshire. John Houston came "with the Scotch-Irish," who located near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in about 1730, but was driven by an Indian uprising, a few years later, to the Pequea Valley, now in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There he bought a thousand acres of land.
John Houston married Eleanor Stuart. They were the parents of four or five sons who served in the Revolution, among whom were James, who died from wounds received at the battle of Paoli, and Dr. John, of whom further.
(J. H. Merrill : "Memoranda Relating to the Mifflin Family," pp. 79-80.)
(II) DR. JOHN HOUSTON, eldest son of John and Eleanor (Stuart) Houston, was born in the Pequea Valley, in 1742, and died at Wrightsville, York County, Pennsylvania, in 1809. He attended the College of Glasgow, where he is recorded in the Matriculation Album of 1761 as :
Johannes Houston filius natu maximus Joannis, Coloni et Mercatoris in Pensylvania, Americae Provincia.
He apparently left the University about the end of March, 1763, as the follow- ing certificate would seem to indicate :
GLASGOW, 30 March, 1763.
This is to certify that the bearer, Mr. John Houston, attended the Public moral philosophy Class regularly and punctually from the beginning of this session of the College to the date of this, & behaved in all other respects soberly and modestly so far as I know. Witness my hand .-- (Signed)
ADAM SMITH.
Adam Smith later became world renowned as the father of political economy. John Houston also received a somewhat similar letter from Professor James Clow, Logick and Metaphisicks, which stated that "John Houston, from Pennsylvania, attended regularly my Lesson on Logick and Metaphysicks this present Session of

HOUSTON
the College as a Gown Student." Letters in more or less detail were also given him by Professors J. A. Moor, George Muirhead, and James Williamson, profes- sors in Greek, Latin and mathematics, respectively.
After his return to Pennsylvania, he spent some time in the office of Dr. Ship- pen, of Philadelphia, who became a prominent surgeon in the American Revolu- tionary Army. In 1768, John Houston graduated from what is now the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Houston was one of the pioneer physicians of York County, Pennsylvania. During the Revolution he served as a surgeon in a brigade of the Flying Camp, commanded by General Ewing, in the Fifth Pennsylvania Battalion.
By his marriage to Susanna Wright (Wright III), Dr. John Houston inherited a large tract of land, part of which is now Wrightsville, where he resided on a farm until his death. Dr. Houston and his wife were the parents of eight chil- aren, among whom were Martha, who married Joseph Mifflin, and Samuel Nelson, ot whom further.
(G. R. Prowell: "History of York County, Pennsylvania," Vol. I, pp. 519-20. D. A. R. Lineage Book, Vol. II, p. 300.)
(III) SAMUEL NELSON HOUSTON, son of Dr. John and Susanna (Wright) Houston, was born at Wright's Ferry, Pennsylvania, in 1790, and died at Colum- bia, Pennsylvania, in 1878. He was distinguished by his splendid physique. After attending Burlington College, he began to study medicine and pharmacy, but he was temporarily hampered by illness. His outdoor life restored his health, and as the illness did not repress his martial spirit he became an active member of Cap- tain Shippen's troop of horse in Lancaster County, and took an active part in the War of 1812. It is stated by the family that James Buchanan, Pennsylvania's only President, was also in this troop.
Samuel Nelson Houston married, in 1816-17, Susan Strickler. (Strickler III.) They had five children :
I. John James.
2. Henry Howard, of whom further.
3. Emily Strickler.
4. Eleanor Wright.
5. Martha Mifflin.

(IV) HENRY HOWARD HOUSTON, son of Samuel Nelson and Susan ( Strick- ler) Houston, was born near Wrightsville. York County, Pennsylvania, October 3, 1820, and died June 21, 1895. At an early age Henry Howard Houston left school and for several years thereafter was connected with mercantile pursuits in his native town. He was a young man of twenty years when he went to Lucinda Furnace, Clarion County, where he spent three years as an employee of James Buchanan, afterward President of the United States. He then joined Edmund Evans, with whom he went to the abandoned Horse Creek Furnace, on the Alle- gheny River, in Venango County, which they rebuilt and put into successful opera- tion. In February, 1847, Mr. Houston entered the Philadelphia office of D. Leech and Company, the then leading canal and railway transporters of Pennsylvania.

He remained with this company until December, 1850. The Pennsylvania Rail- road had then completed its lines to Hollidaysburg, and with the State Portage Road, which was constructed over the mountains, and with the State Canal from Johnstown to Pittsburgh, became a through line from the eastern terminus of the road at Philadelphia to the Ohio River. Colonel William C. Patterson, at that time president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, chose Mr. Houston to organize the freight department of the new road. He was the right man in the right place. There was an intense and bitter rivalry, and the most vigorous and unremitting efforts were required to secure and maintain trade as against competing lines. The Pennsylvania Railroad was completed to Pittsburgh, in 1853, and from that time until 1865, Mr. Houston's labors were arduous and incessant. For fifteen years he managed this department with satisfaction to the company and credit to himself.
In 1865, Mr. Houston entered into special transportation enterprises with sev- eral men with whom he continued his association throughout the remainder of their lives. Together they organized the through freight lines which proved so efficient in the development of the country. They were also engaged in lake and ocean transportation, on a large scale. He was very successful in the early days of the oil excitement, making careful investments, which resulted in handsome profits, so that he became known as a prosperous producer and operator in petroleum. Mr. Houston later became a member of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad, the Penn- sylvania Company, the American Steamship Company, the International Naviga- tion Company, and a number of other concerns of less importance.
Henry Howard Houston was a member of St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and was rector's warden from the time of organization of the parish until his death. He was also instrumental in the erec- tion of the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, at St. Martin's Station, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. He was a man of great force of character, quick and accurate in his estimate of men and measures. He was of robust physique, and an active man both mentally and physically. His benevolence and charities were unostenta- tious, but munificent. He took much interest in developing and improving the his- toric suburban part of Philadelphia, including Chestnut Hill and Germantown. He was a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, and of Washington and Lee University, at Lexington, Virginia. In politics he was a Democrat, but never accepted office.
The death of Henry Howard Houston deprived the State of Pennsylvania of one of her most noted and influential men. He was one "whose heart remained unaffected by all the changes of fortune ; who had never varied in his affection for the friends of his youth, or in his bearing toward the humblest of those among whom his lot was cast ; whose temper had not been soured by trials, nor his sym- pathies been narrowed by the growth of years; whose spirit had remained young whilst his head grew gray; and the horizon of whose mental vision had seemed ever to grow wider and brighter as he drew nearer to the end of his life." In every relation of life he measured up to the highest standard, and was regarded by all who knew him as a dependable man upon all occasions and under all circum- stances. The story of his life has enriched his family annals.

In addition to the presidency of The Real Estate Trust Company of Philadelphia, Mr. Houston is a director of the Corn Exchange National Bank and Trust Company, vice-president and director of the Pennsylvania Sugar Company. He is a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania and of the American University Union in Europe. Possessed of much public spirit, Mr. Houston is active in civic improvement. Politically, he is a Republican. He holds membership in the fol- lowing clubs: Rittenhouse, Church, Union League, Philadelphia Cricket, Phila- delphia Country, Germantown Cricket, University, St. Anthony's, New York Yacht, and Philadelphia Corinthian Yacht ; he is a member of the American Acad- emy of Political and Social Science, the American Economic Association, and the Geographic Society.

Pennsylvania Militia having been called again into National service, he returned home and having received a commission as second lieutenant, was made a member of the staff of Brigadier-General William Price, Jr., Fifty-third Artillery Brigade (formerly Pennsylvania Militia). He served in several camps in this country, and was promoted to first lieutenant. He returned to France with his brigade in May, 1918. The Fifty-third Field Artillery Brigade went to the front early in August. the Allies having then, in the second battle of the Marne, driven the Germans north to the Ourcq. Lieutenant Houston fell August 18, 1918, near Arcis-le-Ponsart, south of Fismes. He is buried at the American National Cemetery, Suresnes, near Paris.

(Family data.)
(The Bonnell Line).
Bonnell is probably of French origin, derived from the locality "Bonneuil-sur- Marne." Early forms of this name were Bonneuil, Bonnille, Bonnel, Boynel, and Bonnay. The root bon occurs especially in old French names.
Bardsley, however, in his volume on English and Welsh surnames, says this name is derived from "Bonehill," a parish of Tamworth, County Stafford, England, and appears in early records, variously spelled as, Bonehill. Bonhill, Bonell and Bonnell.
(Caroline S. Valentine : "Wills, Deeds, and Ways, . . . on the Allied Families of Bon- nell, Simcock, Schooley, and Van Buskirk," p. 97. Robert Ferguson: "The Teutonic Name System," p. 175. Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) CHARLES BONNELL, who begins this line, was born about 1755 and died about 1805. He married Mary Brehaut. They had a son :
I. Samuel, of whom further.
(Family data.)
(II) SAMUEL BONNELL, son of Charles and Mary ( Brehaut ) Bonnell, was born August 6, 1790, and died May 31, 1862. He married, December 8, 1818, Cornelia Clarkson Bringhurst. (Bringhurst IV.) One of their children was Sal- lie S., of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(III) SALLIE S. BONNELL, daughter of Samuel and Cornelia Clarkson ( Bring- hurst ) Bonnell, was born November 9, 1829. She married Henry Howard Hous- ton. (Houston IV.)
(Ibid.)
(The Bringhurst Line).
The surname Bringhurst is derived from residence at "Bringhurst," a parish in county Leicester, near Rockingham. This parish antedates the Norman Con- quest, and the family of Bringhurst is mentioned in very early records. Prior to
262
HOUSTON
1260 a Robert de Bringhurst was Lord of Broughton and Bringhurst, and had holdings in Drayton, Holt, and Prestgrove. Later, in 1320, a John Bringhurst appears in Leicestershire, and in 1567 another of the same name was rector in that locality. Others of the name were in counties Northampton, King's and Bedford from 1630 to 1739.
