WILLIAM BRINTON, born about 1630, came to Pennsylvania, in 1684, from the village of Nether Gournall, parish of Sedgley, county Stafford, England. He came of an ancient family of Staffordshire. He became a convert to the doctrines of the Society of Friends when a young man, and was married according their form, in 1659, to Ann Bagley, daughter of Edward Bagley, a Friend of the same vicinity. After her death, in Pennsylvania, 1699, he wrote a memorial of her, which was in part as follows: "As to the family she came of they were not of the meanest rank as to worldly account; her father's name was Edward Bagley ; he was accounted a very honest and loving man ; he died about fifty years ago. Her mother became an honest Friend and so continued till the day of her death. She remained a widow all the days of her life after the death of her husband, which was above thirty years. * * This is the 40th year since we were married." William Brinton, like many other of the early Friends, suffered persecution for conscience sake. He was fined in 1683, and had goods to a considerable value taken from him for standing fast to his faith. In the spring of 1684, with his wife and son, William he embarked for Pennsylvania, leaving his three daughters, Ann, Esther and Elizabeth, in England, where they married and followed him to America, iater. Landing on the west bank of the Delaware, in Brandywine Hun-

dred, New Castle county, he pushed back into the unbroken forest and erected a temporary shelter, in what became Birmingham township, Chester (now Dela- ware) county, in which they spent the winter. In the spring he erected a log cabin and effected a small clearing, and eventually received patents for several hundred acres in that vicinity and in Concord township, adjoining. The home tract of four hundred and fifty acres was surveyed to him August 5, 1685, as well as an- other tract of like size on the Brandywine, which he later conveyed to his sons-in- law, John Willis and Hugh Harry, in 1695. He was a member of Concord Month- ly Meeting, and at a Quarterly Meeting held gmo. 3, 1690, "it being moved to this Meeting that Concord First-day Meetings be every fourth first-day at William Brinton's in Birmingham, beginning the 23d of this month, also the fourth day following if this meeting see fit."

Ann, wife of William Brinton, died in 1699, and he did not long survive her ; his will, dated 6mo. 20, 1699, being proven December 1, 1700.

He took up a tract of land there and became prominent in the colony, as have been his descendants of the colony and state to the present time. He represented Chester county in the Provincial Assembly in 1706. Joseph Brinton married (second), April 14, 1748, Mary Elgar, but his thir- teen children were all by his first wife.

GEORGE BRINTON, youngest son of Joseph and Mary (Peirce) Brinton, born December 27, 1839, succeeded his father in the tenure of the old homestead and resided there all his life. His house and farm, as well as the other part of the original homestead, then occupied by his aged uncle, 'Squire Edward Brinton, was ravaged by the British soldiers after the battle of Brandywine, fought on an ad- joining farm in 1777. George Brinton died in 1798. He married, in 1760, Chris- tiana, daughter of William and Mary (Hunter) Hill, married in Ireland, who came to Pennsylvania in 1722, and the following year settled on a large tract of land in Middletown, Chester county. Mary (Hunter) Hill was the daughter of John Hunter, native of Durham, England, and a descendant of the Hunters of Meadowsly Hall, Gateshead, Durham, who removed to Ireland; married at Rath- drum, county Wicklow, in 1693, Margaret Albin, and later came to Chester coun- ty, where he died in 1734, aged seventy years.

JOSEPH HILL BRINTON, eldest son of George and Christiana (Hill) Brinton, born on the old family homestead in Birmingham, Chester county, June 27, 1764, spent the greater part of his life on one of his father's farms in Thornbury, Ches- ter county, where the old stone house, erected by him in 1804, is occupied by his grandson of the same name. As a lad of thirteen years he was present at the battle of Brandywine, fought in the immediate neighborhood of his home, Sep -. tember 11, 1777. Eluding the vigilance of his parents he witnessed the bloody conflict, and near the close of the day was caught by a British officer, who was so much pleased with him that he accompanied him to the home of his parents after the battle, and proposed to them to allow the boy to return with him to England at the close of the war. On parting with his quondam friend, the latter presented him with a handsome sword, captured during the engagement, from an American officer. Years after this sword was discovered to have been that of Colonel Frazer, and in 1842 was returned to his family.

Joseph Hill Brinton was an energetic and successful business man, and acquir- ing a competence, spent the closing years of his life in West Chester. He was a zealous Jeffersonian Democrat, voting for Jefferson for the presidency in 1796,

1456

BRINTON

to succeed Washington, and thereafter supporting the nominees of the party founded by him. When Philadelphia was threatened, after the burning of Wash- ington, 1814, he enlisted in a militia company called the American Grays, and was stationed at Marcus Hook for three months. He contracted the typhus fever while there, and his daughter, Rebecca, contracting the contagious disease from him, died of it. On the muster rolls of the troops stationed at Marcus Hook were also his brother, Thomas Hill Brinton, and five cousins of the name. He died of heart disease, November 20, 1839.

Joseph Hill married three times, (first), October 17, .1792, Rebecca Crozer, (second), December 24, 1795, Sarah Taylor, (third), January 15, 1800, Sibylla Kirk, who was mother of his four children. She was the daughter of William and Sibylla (Davis) Kirk, and granddaughter of Alphonsus Kirk, who came to Amer- ica in 1689, from Lurgan, county Armagh, province of Ulster, Ireland, where a branch of the English family of Kirk had settled two generations earlier. He brought with him a certificate from a Friends' Meeting held at the house of John Robinson, in Armagh, dated 1omo. 9, 1688, to which was appended a certificate signed by his parents, Roger and Elizabeth Kirk, giving their consent to his re- moval, "and if it be his fortune to marry we give our consent, providing it be with a Friend in unity with Friends according to the order of Truth." His father, Roger Kirk, was fined, with other Armagh Friends, in 1675, for refusing to take the oath as a juror. Alphonsus Kirk, with the parental blessing and certificate of good character from people of his faith, left the place of his nativity, and took passage from Belfast, Ireland, January 11, 1688-9, landed at Jamestown, Virginia, March 12, 1689, and arrived at New Castle, May 29, 1689. It was his "fortune to marry," and "according to the order of Truth," as, on February 23, 1692-93, he united himself with Abigail Sharpley, at the house of her father, Adam Sharpley, on Brandywine creek, in New Castle county, where Adam had settled in 1682. Alphonsus Kirk died September 7, 1745, and his wife in 1748. They were parents of eleven children, of whom William, born March 4, 1708-09, took a certificate from Newark Meeting in New Castle county, to Goshen, Chester county, July 31. 1731, and settled in that locality. He was twice married and had nineteen chil- dren, ten by the first wife and nine by the second. His second wife was Sibylla (Davis) Williams, widow of Edward Williams, who died in Pikeland, Chester county, 1748. Her father, John Davis, was a Welshman, who settled in Uwchlan, Chester county, prior to 1715, and died there in 1736, by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel and Sibyll ( Price) Harris, Daniel Harris, or Harry, being a brother of Hugh Harry, who married Elizabeth Brinton, daughter of William, the emigrant, as noted in the preceding narrative. He was a native of the parish of Machanlleth, Montgomeryshire, Wales, and brought a certificate from the Friends' Meeting at Dogelly, Merionethshire, Wales, and came to Pennsylvania with his brother, Hugh, in the "Vine," from Liverpool, arriving in Philadelphia, September 17, 1684. He settled in Radnor township, and married, February 4, 1690, Sibyll Price, daughter of David Price, who with his family emigrated from Brecknockshire, Wales, and settled in Radnor in 1690, bringing a certificate from Haverford Meeting of Friends, in Wales.

Of the nine children of William and Sibylla (Davis) Kirk, Isaiah married Eliz- abeth Richards : Rebecca married James Embree; Ruth married Benjamin Price;

DANIEL GARRISON BRINTON, b. May 13, 1837; of whom presently.

DANIEL GARRISON BRINTON, M. D., was the youngest son of Lewis Brinton, by his wife, Ann Garrison, and was born May 13, 1837. He graduated from Yale University, class of 1858; and from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, 1860. On receiving his medical diploma he went abroad and spent a year in extending his studies in Paris and Heidelberg before entering upon the active practice of his profession. He entered the United States Volunteer service, February 9, 1863, as a Surgeon, with the rank of Major of Volunteers, and served until the close of the Civil War, being brevetted, August 15, 1865, Lieutenant-Colonel of Volun- teers, "for faithful and meritorious services."

In 1867, Dr. Brinton accepted the editorship of the Medical and Surgical Re- porter, then the only weekly medical journal in Philadelphia, and held that posi- tion twenty years. In 1884 he was appointed professor of ethnology at the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, and in 1886, professor of American linguistics and archæology, University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Brinton's specialty, to which he devoted in a large measure, the last twenty years of his life, was the study of the history of the American Indian, and espe- cially his language. To attempt to catalogue Dr. Brinton's ethnological contribu- tions to literature of the last two decades of the nineteenth century, would require a page of this volume. His researches covered a wide range, embracing the his- tory of the aborigines of both North and South America, and only the technical student can appreciate the immense amount of labor performed by him, the mag- nitude of his deductions and productions, and their significance from both a scientific and a historical point of view.

He was a member of and president of both the American Folk Lore Society and the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia; a member of the American Philosophical Society ; the American Antiquarian Society of Philadel-

His second wife, to whom he was married 1740, was Ann Indicott.

LUCAS GILLAM, born circa., 1720; removed to Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and married Ann Dungan.

The earliest record we have of the Gillam family, later prominent in the affairs of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, is obtained from a petition to the Orphans' Court of Bucks county, June 17, 1720, by George Clough and John Hall, for the appoint- ment of proper guardians for the "two Small children, a boy and a girle," of "Lydia Gillam, late of Bristol in the county aforesaid Relict & Widow of Lucas Gillam, late of Bristol afsd. deceased."
