He practiced law in Philadelphia from 1853 to 1859, when he removed to Newtown, and was admitted to the bar of his native county, of which he is now the senior member. He is a careful stu- dent, and his thorough knowledge of the law and sound judgment have made him a safe counselor. In his long practice he has had many intricate cases to un- ravel. and in the vast number of dis- puted cases as to questions of law, re- ferred to him by the courts as auditor, he has seldom been reversed in either the lower or upper courts.

Jenks having served as a director for over forty years, and presi- dent for about thirty years.

spect. They are both members of the Bucks County Historical Society, and take a lively interest and pride in the county where their first ancestors on all branches were early settlers, and where all their later ancestors were born and reared.

B. FRANK HART, of 2010 Wallace street, Philadelphia, retired manufacturer and business man, was born in Warminster, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, March 22, 1825, and removed to Philadelphia when a young man and engaged in manufacturing interests there, where he has since resided. He has, however, always kept in touch with the county of his birth, and takes spe- cial pride in his distinguished Bucks county ancestry. On the paternal side all his direct ancestors from his father, John Hart, to his great-great-great-grandfather. John Hart, were prominent officials of the county. and members of the law making body of the province and state, from Bucks county, making five successive generations to serve in that capacity.

John Hart, the ancestor of the Warmins- ter (Bucks county ) family of the name, was a son of Christopher and Mary Hart. of Witney, Oxfordshire, England, where he was born November 16, 1651. A brother, Robert, remained in England, a younger brother Joseph migrated to Jamaica, and the only sister Mary, born April 1. 1658, accompanied her brother to Pennsylvania in 1682. The family were members of the Society of Friends, and Jolin brought a certificate from Friends at Witney. He had purchased of William Penn. July 16, 1681, 1,000 acres of land to be laid out in Pennsylvania. Of this 480 acres were lo- cated on the Poquessing, in Byberry, Phila- delphia county, and the balance in War- minster township, Bucks county. The for- mer was surveyed by virtue of warrant dated September 1, 1681, and on this John Hart located on arriving in Pennsylvania, and erected a house on the banks of the Poquessing. The Warminster tract was surveyey 7 mo. 25, 1684, and lay along the north side of the street road near Johns- ville. It became the residence of John Hart in 1697 and remained the home of his des- cendants for several generations. John Hart was carly identified with public af- fairs. He was a member of the first as- sembly of the province, from Philadelphia county, and his name is attached to the first charter of government, granted by Penn to his colonists, dated at Philadelphia, Feb- ruary 2, 1683. He was a minister among Friends, and the early meetings of the So- ciety were held at his house from 1683 to 1686, when the meeting house was erected "near Takony." He was clerk of the meet- ing for many years. ln 1691 he joined George Keith in his famous schism against Friends, and was one of his ablest advo- cates, and, when Keith's radical doctrines had carried him and his followers out of the Society, he united with the Baptists in

1697. and became their preacher at the meeting house originally erected by the Friends. He later became assistant preach- er at Pennepack Baptist church, but was never ordained. He removed to Warmins- ter in 1697, selling his land in Byberry, ex- cept one acre which was reserved as a burying ground. He died in Warminster, September, 1714, in his sixty-third year. He had married in the fall of 1683, Susannah Rush, daughter of William and Aurelia Rush, who had come to Pennsylvania in 1682 and settled in Byberry, and a grand- . daughter of John Rush, who commanded a troop of horse in Cromwell's army. Sus- annah, after the death of her husband, re- turned to Byberry and died there February 27, 1725. John and Susanna (Rush) Hart were the parents of five children; John, the ancestor of all of the name who remained in Bucks county: Joseph who married Sarah Stout, April 1, 1713, and died in 1714, without issue; Thomas, who inherited a portion of the land and conveyed it to his cousin, James Rush, in 1731, and left the county ; Josiah, who removed to New Jer- sey, and Mary, who died unmarried.

John Hart, eldest son of John and Sus- annah (Rush) Hart, was born in Byberry, July 16, 1684. He does not appear to have occupied so important a place as his father in public affairs, though he held many posts of honor and responsibility. He was sheriff of Bucks county, 1737-8-9, and 1743-4-5, and 1749: coroner of Bucks county, 1741 and 1748; was commissioned justice June 9, 1752, and was succeeded by his son Joseph in 1761. When he was sworn in 1757, the record states he was "old. and impaired by apoplexy." He followed his father in mat- ters of religion and united with the Bap- tists and was baptized at Pennepack November 15, 1706, by the Rev. Evan Mor- gan, and was thereafter closely associated with the sect. He was one of the organ- izers of Southampton Baptist church in 1746, and served as clerk. deacon and trustee, until his death March 22, 1763. He inherited from his father a large por- tion of the Warminster homestead and erected the family mansion there in 1750. He married November 25. 1708. Eleanor Crispin, daughter of Silas and Esther ( Holme) Crispin, and grand-daughter of Thomas Holme, Penn's surveyor general, and of Captain William Crispin, one of Penn's commissioners for settling the col- ony of Pennsylvania. Though the latter never reached Pennsylvania, he was so closely identified with Penn and his family as to be of interest to Pennsylvanians. He was born in England in 1610, and was commander of the ship "Hope" in the ser- vice of the Commonwealth, under Crom- well, in 1652. In May, 1653, he was sent with the expedition against the Dutch, as captain of the "Assistance," under Rear Admiral William Penn. the father of the founder, and remained the remainder of that year cruising on the Dutch coast and preying upon their commerce. In 1654 he

was captain of the "Laurel," in the British squadron, sent against the Spanish pos- sessions in America, arriving at Bar- badoes, January 29, 1654-5. He partici- pated in the capture of Jamica, May 17, 1655, was named as one of the commis- sioners for supplying Jamica, and remained there when Penn returned to England, but following him soon after, and with him retired to Kinsale, Ireland, where he lived for about twenty years. On Penn re- ceiving the grant of Pennsylvania he named Captain Crispin as one of the three "Commissioners for the Settleing of the present Colony this year transported into ye Province," as stated in his letter of in- structions, dated September 30, 1681. Cap- tain Crispin, with his fellow commissioners John Bezar and Nathaniel Allen, sailed for Pennsylvania, but in different ships, Crispin sailing in the "Amity," which was blown off after nearly reaching the Dela- ware capes and put into Barbadoes for repairs. Crispin died there, and the "Amity" returned to England, and, return- ing to Pennsylvania in April, 1682, brought over Thomas Holmne, Penn's surveyor gen- eral, who also succeeded Crispin as com- missioner. Captain William Crispin mar- ried Anne Jasper, daughter of John Jasper, a merchant of Rotterdam, and a sister to Margaret, wife of Admiral Sir William Penn, and mother of the great founder. William and Anne Crispin were the parents of four children: Silas, above referred to, who came to Pennsylvania with Thomas Holme, and later married his daughter Esther ; Rebecca, who married, August 24, 1688, Edward Blackfan, son of John Black- fan. of Stenning, county of Sussex. Eng- land; Ralph, who remained in Ireland and Rachel who married Thomas Arm- strong and also remained in Europe. Edward Blackfan prepared to come to Pennsylvania, where William Penn had directed land to be laid out to him, but died before sailing, in 1690. His widow Rebecca and their only son William came to Pennsylvania and located in Bucks county at Pennsbury, where she lived for a number of years. She married, in 1725, Nehemiah Allen, son of Nathaniel, the com- missioner. William, the son, married Elea- nor Wood. of Philadelphia, and located in Solebury, Bucks county. They are the ancestors of the now numerous family of Blackfan. Captain Crispin married a second time, and had eleven children, most of whom located in the West Indies.

Silas Crispin, only son of the Captain by his first marriage, in 1684 located in Upper Dublin township, Philadelphia county, where he lived the rest of his life, (lying May 31, 1711.
