P. congregation of Pigeon Creek; in his liberality, spending of time and labor unrequited.

(3) Samuel Weir, son of (VI) Adam, was born September 30, 1810. Samuel lived unmarried on the homestead of his father in West Bethlehem township, where he died April 6, 1890, in his eightieth year. This farm, at his death, had been in the Weir family name for nearly 100 years. Of a quiet, steady, even temperament, it was re- marked of him that he was rarely if ever seen angry. By constant industry, frugal economy, and good management, he was possessed of a large per- sonal property and valuable real estate at his decease. Like his brother, Thomas, he was ever reliable and trustworthy. For the last fifty years or more of his life he was never free from civic trusts of some kind or other, in Church or State. In many such trusts, large, financially, he was seemingly weighed in the balance, but never found wanting. Born a Whig, he consistently voted with that party until, with the change of name in 1860, he was with the Republicans, but he was never a political aspirant for office. He united as a mem- ber, in his mature years, with the U. P. Congre- gation of Pigeon Creek, where from a child he had been a regular and constant attendant upon Divine worship, and a liberal supporter thereof.

(VII). Lavina, daughter of Samuel, Sr., married James Erwin, who was born January 6, 1785, died May 13, 1851, aged sixty-six years; Lavina, died September 24, 1854, aged sixty-eight, without issue.

P. churchyard. Elizabeth Morrow and hus- band lie in Upper Buffalo cemetery. Jane Robin-

HE HUGH SCOTT FAMILY and connec- tions, of Nottingham township.' Tradition says Hugh Scott, Sr., came to Pennsylvania from the North of Ireland, and settled within the bounds of Chester county about the year 1670.
