MOSES VANDEGRIFT. In the pre- ceding sketch of the descendants of Ja- cob Lendertsen Van der Grifte, who came from Holland in 1644 to New Am- sterdam, where he married in 1648. Re- becca Fredericks Lttbbertsen. is given an account of the baptism and marriage of Johannes Van De Grift, youngest son of Jacob and Rebecca, and of the birth and marriage of his children. From two of the sons of Johannes and Nealke ( Volk- ers) Vandegrift is descended the subject of this sketch. Folkhart, the eldest, and Jacob the second son.

Folkhart (or Fulkerd) Van de Grift, eldest son of Johannes, was born in the province of New York in 1695, and was therefore but an infant when brought into Bucks county by his parents in 1697. Ile became a large landholder in Ben- salem, a man of importance in the Dutch

colony in Bucks, and a member of the Bensalem church. He was twice mar- ried, first on May 6, 1719 to Elizabeth Van Sandt, and second on August 10, 1742, to Marytje Hufte. Neither wife survived him. He died in November, 1775. Of his nine children, Fulkhart, Elizabeth, Harman, Alshe, Abraham, John, Cornelius and Elinor, the first eight are mentioned in his will.

Abraham Vandegrift, born about 1725 married Femmentje Hufte about 1752 and had six children. He died in Ben- salem township about 1800. The children were: Elizabeth, baptized at Southamp- ton church August 18, 1754, married John DeCoursey, and had eight children; Mary, married Benjamin Severns; Ab- raham; and Catharine, who married Ab- raham Vandegrift, her second . cousin.

Jacob Van de Grift, second son of Jo- hannes and Nealke, baptized at New Amsterdam, October 14, 1696, was the grandfather of Abraham above mention- ed. John Vandegrift, eldest son of Ja- cob, known as "John Vandegrift, Es- quire," to distinguish him from his cous- ins of the same name on the records, married November 14. 1750, Maria (or Mary) Praul, who died prior to 1786. He died in 1805: his will dated Septem- ber 7. 1804, proved May 3, 1805, devised to his eldest son Jacob, (baptized at Southampton, April 18, 1753) a stone house "I am now erecting" and one acre of land, he having been "advanced 400 pounds towards purchasing a plan- tation." This plantation was in North- ampton, where Jacob removed in 1783 and died leaving a large family. The will of John Vandegrift further devises to his son John, 1621/2 acres on the Duk's ferry road where the testator lived; to his daughter Jane Johnson a lot on same road: to son Bernard a tract of land in New Jersey purchased of John Long- streth, and to his son Abraham seventy- two acres, "part of the land where he now lives, beginning at brother Jacob's lane end." etc.

Abraham, son of John and Maria (Praul) Vandegrift, was born in Bensa- lem in 1766. On his marriage his father set apart to him seventy-two acres of land and built a house for him thereon which has since been the home of his descendants. He was twice married; by his first wife he had a daughter Mary who married John Brodnax. His second wife was Catharine Vandegrift, daughter of Abraham and granddaughter of Fol- hart, as previously shown. By this mar- riage Abraham had two sons, John and Samuel, and two daughters: Elizabeth, who married Joseph Myers; and Plebe, who married Thomas Darrah. Abra- ham died in May, 1800, leaving a will made eleven years previously, which was contested by the widow and daugh- ter Phebe, but proved in the court of common pleas in December of the same

year. The bulk of the landed property including the homestead descended to the son John.

John Vandegrift was born on the old homestead August 12, 1806, and died there in March, 1878. He was a success- ful farmer, a Democrat, and a member of the Presbyterian church. His wife was Susanna Sipler. She died July 3, 1898. John and Susanna (Sipler) Van- degrift were the parents of eight chil- dren: Jesse, who died young; Jesse (2); Moses: John; Philip, who served three years in the civil war and died January 12, 1900, in his fifty-eighth year; Sam- tiel; Letitia; and George W.

Moses Vandegrift, the subject of this sketch, was born on the old homestead June 5, 1840. He was reared on the old farm and received his education at the Eddington school. On arriving at man- hood he settled on the old homestead that had been the property of his an- cestors for many generations, and has spent his whole life there. He is a mem- ber of the Presbyterian church and po- litically is a Democrat. He was elected supervisor of Bensalem township in 1888 for two years and was re-elected in 1900 for an additional term. He married January 26. 1879, Sarah Knight, daughter of Strickland and Caroline (Briggs) Knight, by whom he has six children: Eugene, born January 4, 1880: Walter, born January 5, 1882: Roland and Oscar, twins, born May 27, 1884. (Oscar died in infancy) ; Fannie, born November 4, 1885, and Russell, born November 8, 1887.

SAMUEL ALLEN VANDEGRIFT, eldest son of the late George V. and Mary Ann (Allen) Vandegrift, was born at Bridgewater. Bensalem township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, March 21, 1830.

The educational advantages enjoyed by Samuel A. Vandegrift were obtained in the common schools of the neighbor- hood, and he remained a resident on the paternal homestead until he attained his majority. He then settled on the Jon- athan Paxon farm in Bensalem town- ship, and after a residence of twenty years there located on the farm owned by his brother William A., remaining nine years, and the following six years he resided on the Thomas Hamilton farm. He then took up his residence on the farm in Byberry, owned by Colonel Morrell, remaining three years, after which he located on the farm in Ben- salem owned by his brother Frank, and in 1903 removed to the old Black farm in Bensalem township, owned by his son Charles, where he has since resided. Being practical and progressive in his methods of management, he met with a large degree of prosperity in the va-

rious localities where he resided, and his honorable and reliable transactions won for him an enviable reputation which he has always fully sustained. He is a firm advocate of the principles of Republicanism, and his support has al- ways been given to the candidates and measures of that party.

On March 12, 1857, Mr. Vadegrift mar- ried Julia Ann Luck, born in Philadel- phia but reared in Bucks county, a daughter of Joseph and Margaret (Les- lie) Luck. Joseph Luck was a native of England, from whence he emigrated to the United States, entered the service of the United States government, and for many years had charge of the United States arsenal at Frankford, Pennsyl- vania. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Vandegrift: George, born Jan- uary 28, 1858, engaged in agricultural pursuits in Bensalem township, married Julia Miller, of Philadelphia, and they are the parents of one child, Frederick Vandegrift; Joseph, who died at the age of four years; Mary Ann, born Febru- ary 19, 1863; Charles W., born December 16, 1865. The mother of these children, who was a most excellent woman in every respect, faithful and conscientious in the performance of her duties as wife and mother, died June 9, 1902.

LEWIS HERBERT VANDEGRIFT, of Bensalem, Pennsylvania, was born at that place, October 1, 1845, the son of Alfred and Catherine (Gibbs) Vande- grift. He was educated in the public schools of Bensalem, after which he en- gaged in farming, as an employe of his brother, John, with whom he remained until 1870, when he removed to the old homestead farm in Bensalem, which he purchased in 1892. After thirty years of farm life. he sold his farm and re- moved to Philadelphia, when he entered the employ of the Western Union Tele- graph Company, with whom he is still engaged. Mr. Vandegrift has been twice married-first, January 7, 1874, to Mar- garet, daughter of James and Margaret (Ballantyne) Harvinson. By this union four children were born: I. Alfred Eu- gene, born November 22, 1874, married, February 20, 1901, to Susannah Keifer, of Brooklyn, New York, daughter of John Colder and wife, Susannah (Jen- ninker) Keiffer, and they have one child, Margaret Susannah, born November 10, 1902: 2. Clara May, born January 29, 1877, married March 7, 1905, Eugene Gaskill, of Philadelphia: 3. Maud, born May 13, 1882; married, first Elwood E. Porter, by whom the issue was Milton Harvinson, born December 1. 1899: sec- ond, to Frank Peabody Hedges, of Trenton, New Jersey, May 1. 1904: Bertha Irene, born May 20, 1883. Mrs.

Vandegrift died February 13, 1888, and for his second wife Mr. Vandegrift mar- ried, January 14, 1892, Margaret Brown, of Eddington, who was born May 4, 1854, daughter of Henry Jackson and Sarah (Staats) Brown, and the grand- daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth (Darrah) Brown; also the granddaugh- ter of Jacob and Maribel (Shaw) Staats. By his second marriage Mr. Vandegrift has one child-Lucy Eccleston, born Oc- tober 13, 1893. Each of the above chil- dren, except Lucy, were educated in Ben- salem. Alfred was graduated from Pierce's Business College of Philadel- phia, and Lucy is attending Lincoln Grammar School in Philadelphia.

Mr. Vandegrift is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and affiliates with Newton Lodge, No. 427, A. F. and A. M. Both Mr. and Mrs. Vandegrift are members of the church of Christ (Epis- copal) of Eddington, where they are ef- ficient, earnest workers. Mr. Vandegrift has served on the school board very ably for three years, and has been its secretary. He has ever been much in- terested in educational matters, and is counted among the loyal citizens of his place.

GEORGE V. VANDEGRIFT. The death of George V. Vandegrift, April 24, 1853, removed from Bensalem town- ship, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, where- he resided all his life, one of its promi- nent, influential and public-spirited citi- zens. His birth occurred in 1804, a son. of Joseph and Sarah (Byson) Vande- grift, and grandson of John Vandegrift. Joseph Vandegrift (father) was also a native of Bensalem township, Bucks county, the year of his birth being 1776. In early life he served an apprentice- ship at the trade of weaver, and this he followed successfully throughout his active career. He was a member of the Episcopal church, the service of which he attended regularly. By his marriage to Sarah Bankson the following named children were born: Lydia, Rebecca, Mary, Amy, George V., Frances, Sarah Ann, Joseph, Julia Ann, and Janc. Mr. Vandegrift died in 1839, survived by his wife, who passed away in 1857.

George V. Vandegrift attended the common schools adjacent to his home, after which he learned the same trade as his father, that of weaver, but after following this for a number of years turned his attention to farming. which proved both a pleasant and profitable occupation. Upon attaining his majority he cast his vote with the Whig party, to whom he gave his allegiance up to the formation of the Republican party, and from that time up to his decease he- advocated the principles of that great organization.

Joseph Al- den was a son of William and Mary (Walsh) Allen. William Allen was born at what is now Bridgewater, Bensalem township, on the site of the Bridgewater Inn, a son of Samuel and Jane (Waln) Allen. Samuel Allen was a son of Sam- uel and Mary Allen, who came from England in 1681 and settled on the farm now owned by William Allen Vande- grift, in 1682, and one hundred acres of the original tract has never passed out of the possession of the family. The members of the Allen family have al- ways adhered to the tenets of the Society of Friends.

J. WILSON VANDEGRIFT. Among the successful agriculturists of Bucking- ham is J. Wilson Vandegrift, who was born in that township January 1, 1863. being a son of Bernard and Mary Ann (Folker) Vandegrift, and a grandson of Lawrence Vandegrift of Northampton township, Bucks county, where his fath- er Bernard was born June 30, 1829. The family is of Holland descent, being de- scendants of Jacob Lendert Van de Grift, who migrated from Holland in 1644, and settled on Long Island, from whence three of his sons (Leonard, Nicholas and John,) came to Bucks county in the latter part of the same century and set- tled in Bensalem, descendants of the last mentioned of whom settling in Northamp- ton township a century later.

Bernard Vandegrift was a farmer all his life. In 1877 he purchased the farm now owned and occupied by the subject

of this sketch, and resided thereon tin- til his death, in September, 1900. He married, December 27, 1851, Mary Ann Folker, daughter of James and Mary (Herlinger) Folker, of Buckingham, where she was born August 8, 1829. Her parents were both natives of Bucking- ham, her mother being a daughter of Captain Mathew Herlinger, who married the widow Else, whose husband died at sea on the voyage to America. Bernard and Mary Ann (Folker) Vandegrift were the parents of six children; Harry, of Elizabeth, Colorado; Susanna, wife of William Orem, of Buckingham; Wilmer, a wholesale commission merchant of Philadelphia; Mary, wife of William II. Atkinson, of Forest Grove, Bucking- ham township; J. Wilson; and Theodore, of Warwick township, Bucks county.

J. Wilson Vandegrift was reared on the farm and acquired a good common school education. In 1885 he purchased the home farm, which he has since suc- cessfully conducted. By industry and careful business methods he has acquired a competence. In 1899 he purchased an adjoining farm of 102 acres and in 1903, purchased a farm of 160 acres in War- wick township. He married, in Novem- ber, 1894, Olive M. Fell, daughter of Wilson D. and Mary Jane (Trumbower) Fell, of Buckingham. She was born on the Fell homestead in Buckingham that had been in the tenure of her ancestors for over a century, January 19, 1863. She is still the owner of the farm, which is a portion of a tract purchased by her great-great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Fell. in 1753. This Benjamin Feil was born in 1703 in Cumberland, England, and came with his parents Joseph and Bridget (Wilson) Fell to America when an infant.

JENK'S

JENKS COAT-OF-ARMS.

THE JENKS FAMILY is of Welsh origin and can be clearly traced in the county of Mont- gomery. Wales, and the adjoining county of Salop, or Shrop- shire, England, from A. D. 900 down to the middle of the seven- teenth century. On the records of the College of Arms, Lon- don, England, there is an Act in the

year 1582, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by which "The Coat of Arms

of the Anciente Family of Jenks, long in the possession of the same" at Wolverton Manor, Wales, was confirm- ed to them in the person of their repre- sentative, Sir George Jenks, of Salop, Gentleman, as certified by Robert Cooke, alias Clarencieux, one of the two first Provincial Kings-of-Arms, in England, whose jurisdiction of Clarenceux ex- tended to all of England south of the Trent, Norroy holding a like jurisdic- tion north of the Trent.

The Jenks family of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, trace their descent from Thomas Jenks, of Shropshire, who, as shown by the will of John Penn, of the adjoining county of Montgomery, Wales, dated 1660, was a son of Thomas Jenks. Thomas Jenks the elder died 10 mo. 19. 1680, as shown by the records of the Monthly Meeting of Friends in Shrop- shire. He was one of the earliest con- verts to the principles of George Fox, and "Besse's Sufferings" gives a rec- ord of his arrest in 1656 as one of a party of Friends while attending a meet- ing of people of his faith. He was again arrested and fined in 1660. Thomas Jenks. son of the above, born in Shrop- shire, was married there and is supposed to have embarked for America with his wife Susan. and infant son Thomas, born January, 1699-1700. All that is definitely known, however, is that Susan Jenks, his widow, and her young son. Thomas, arrived in Bucks county soon after 1700, and located in Wrightstown. Susan Jenks married Benjamin Wiggins, of Buckingham, in 1708, and died soon after the birth of her son, Bezeleel Wiggins, in 1709.

Thomas Jenks was reared in the neigh- borhood of Wrightstown. We have little record of him until I mo. 1. 1725-6, when he applied for membership in Wrights- town Meeting. He was doubtless a birth- right member of the Society, but the death of his father while on the voy- age to America, or immediately preced- ing their sailing and the subsequent mar- riage of his mother to a non-member

and her early death leaving him an or- phan at ten years of age, his birth- right privilege was no doubt neglected to be recorded. It was therefore neces- sary for him to be regularly admitted when he desired to become a member on reaching manhood.

Thomas Jenks married, 3 mo. 19, 1731, Mercy Wildman, daughter of John and Marah (Chapman) Wildman, of Middle- town. The former, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1681, came to America with his parents, Martin and Ann Wildman, in 1690, and the latter. a daughter of John Chapman, the pioneer settler of Wrightstown, had married first John Croasdale, John Wildman being her sec- ond husband. Thomas Jenks, on his mar- riage, settled first in his home in Buck- ingham and three years afterward re- moved to a tract of land in Middletown township, two miles southeast of New- town, along Core creek, containing 600 acres. Upon this tract he erected prior to 1740, a fulling mill one of the first in the county which was operated (by the family) until his death, doing a large business in dyeing, fulling and finishing the homespun goods of his neighbors, the early settlers of lower and middle Bucks. His ledger "C," ex- quisitely written and kept still in good preservation, is now in possession of his great-grandson, William H. Jenks. of Philadelphia. It covers the years 1743- 56, and contains his accounts with near- ly all the early families of Bucks east of the Neshaminy. He was an active and energetic business man, and retained his mental and physical faculties in a re- markable degree to extreme old age. He died at Jenks Hall (erected by him in 1734) from the effects of injuries re- ceived in being thrown from a wagon. 5 mo. 4. 1797, in the ninety-eighth year of his age. He had in the truest sense of the word "grown up with the country." Arriving in Bucks county when far the greatest part of it was a primeval wil- derness, still inhabited by the Indians, he lived through its entire colonial per- iod, and saw his country recover from the shock and trials of its war for in- dependence, and become a thickly settled prosperous and enlightened community. He was six years older than Dr. Frank- lin, and thirty-two years older than George Washington, yet he survived the former seven years, and the latter sur- vived him but little over two years, though both had lived to see the fruition of their long and noble struggle for their country's good. His wife Mercy died 7 m10. 26, 1787. aged seventy-seven years, after a married life of over fifty- six years. They were the parents of six children, as follows:
