The ancestors of the Gilbert branch of the Webster family were driven from the west of England by religious persecution,

they being stanch adherents of the Quaker faith. John Gilbert (1) with his wife Florence and their sons John and Joseph were among those who came to America in 1682 and settled in Byberry (now Philadel- phia), separated from Bucks county by Poquessing creek. Joseph Gilbert (2) be- came prominent in the meetings, was an overseer of the Byberry Meeting, and also filled the office of elder for many years. lle died in 1765, aged ninety years. Ben- jamin Gilbert (3) came to Richland, Bucks county, married Sarah Mason, and had a family of eight children. In 1775 he moved with his family to Penn township, on the frontier, near Mauch Chunk. Here he

erected a grist mill and other buildings, living in peace with the Indians. On April 25, 1780, the family were alarmed by a party of eleven Indian warriors, and ten of the Gilbert family with five others were taken prisoners by them. The Indians then plundered and burned the buildings, forcing the captives to carry their plunder with them into the woods. They were taken by the Indians from place to place, much of the time suffering from lack of provisions and enduring great privation and hardship, as well as being separated from each other. They were finally released, all save Ben- jamin, who died July 8, 1780, in a boat in which he with his wife Elizabeth and two children were going down the St. Law- rence river to Montreal under the protection of British officers. After leaving Montreal the party crossed the Delaware into Penn- sylvania, and after a journey of five weeks arrived in Byberry, where Elizabeth Gil- bert and her children were received with many rejoicings by their relations and former acquaintances. The fact that such an event as an Indian raid should have occurred in this part of the country within a period of three generations shows how rapidly evolution in all business and social affairs has worked in the uplifting of man- kind.

AMOS ARMITAGE was born Septem- ber 23, 1881, on the farm in Solebury town- ship upon which he now resides, and which had been owned in turn by his grandfather and his father. The former, Amos Armit- age, Sr., was a cabinet-maker and carpen- ter by trade, and for a number of years lived at Lumberville, where he was con- nected with building operations. Subse- quently, however, he purchased the farm upon which his grandson, Amos Armitage, now resides, and there he spent the later years of his life, devoting his energies to agricultural pursuits. He married Re- becca Hoffman.

Their son, Samuel Armitage, was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in 1817, and in early life learned the wheelwright's trade, but his effort has been chiefly given to his agricultural interests. At his fa- ther's death he succeeded to the ownership of the old home property, and continued to

reside thereon until his own demise, which occurred on the 2d of April, 1897, when he was in his eightieth year. He was a well known business man, of unquestioned integrity and reliability, and was frequently called upon to serve as administrator of estates. He handled much money in trust, and his inflexible honor made him one of the most highly esteemed citizens of his community. In his political views he was a Republican. He married Elizabeth Dud- bridge, who was born in Warrington town- ship, Bucks county, January 15, 1842, a daughter of Theodore and Ann ( Pidcock) Dudbridge, of that township, the former a farmer there. Their daughter, Mrs. Ar- mitage, is still living and makes her home with her son Amos, her only child.

Amos Armitage was reared on the old home farm and attended the common schools. By the terms of his father's will he inherited the property, which was held in trust for him until he attained his ma- jority. He then took possession of an adjoining farm on which his father held a mortgage and which was left for sale. Mr. Armitage purchased this, and now has within the boundaries of the two farms one hundred and thirty-seven acres of very rich and arable land. While he has never served an apprenticeship in mechanical lines, he is a skilled worker in both wood and iron, an ability that has undoubtedly been in- herited from his ancestors, who for gen- erations have displayed much mechanical ingenuity. He is thus enabled to keep everything about his place in excellent re- pair, and his farm is one of the best im- proved in his locality. He is justly ac- counted one of the progressive young agri- culturists of Solebury township. On the 6th of November, 1903, Mr. Armitage was married to Miss Alice Gilbert, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Warner) Gilbert of Lumberville. He votes with the Re- publican party, and has served as a member of the election board.

EZEKIEL B. COX. One of the pros- perous business men of Bucks county is Ezekiel B. Cox, of New Hope. Mr. Cox is a son of Reeder Cox, who was born in Plumstead township, and on reaching man- hood moved to Solebury township. He lived in the vicinity of New Hope and Tay- lorsville, engaging in farming and also in lime-burning. He married Elizabeth Nay- lor, and of their eleven children six sur- vive: Howard, who lives in Solebury township; Edward, who is a resident of New Hope; Ezekiel B., mentioned at length hereinafter; Mary, who is the wife of Far- ley Stout, of Hopewell, New Jersey ; and Victoria, who is the wife of Horace Shick, of New Hope. Mr. Cox now resides with his son-in-law, Mr. Stout, in Hopewell, New Jersey.

Ezekiel B. Cox, son of Reeder and F iza- beth (Naylor) Cox, was born May 16,

1854, in Solebury township, and when but eleven years of age began to work for the neighboring farmers. At seventeen he ap- prenticed himself to the miller's trade !11 Brownsburg, and two years later went to Attleboro, where he finished his apprentice- ship. For two years he worked as a jour- neyman at Chainbridge, Wrightstown town- ship, and then moved to New Hope, where he worked one year, and then went to the Spring mills in Solebury. After working three years in these mills he opened the Buckingham mills, which he conducted suc- cessfully for seventeen years. In 1898 he sold his milling interests and moved to New Hope, where he engaged in mercantile business with such success that he is now the leading merchant of that place. He is a Republican in politics. Mr. Cox mar- ried, February 28, 1876, Jennie, daughter of Israel Roberts, of Carstown, Ohio, and they are the parents of one son, Frank W., who is his father's assistant in the store.

This farm had been the property of the Atkinson family for three generations, having been purchas- ed by Thomas Atkinson, the grasstather of Jonathan, in 1744. In 1865 Cyrus Twin- ing rented the home farm and removed to another farm in Wrightstown, where he died in 1892. His widow still survives at the age of eighty years.

ANDREW SCHAEFFER, an enterpris- ing and progressive agriculturist of Bristol, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, who has fol- lowed that occupation throughout the many years of his active career, is a native of that township, born December 5, 1827, a son of John and Anna ( Silbert) Schaeffer, who with their eldest child Michael, in Septem- ber, 1818, came from Austria and settled in Bristol, Pennsylvania, on the Bolton farm, where they were obliged to work for three years to pay for their passage. Their children were: Michael, born in Austria, probably about 1815; Louisa M., born in Bristol, December 24, 1818; Catharine, No- vember. 1820; John, May 25, 1823; Godfrey, September 3, 1825; Andrew.

Louisa, Andrew, Pemberton M. and Anna Maria are the only members of the family now living. John and Michael were carpenters by trade, and the other sons followed agri- cultural pursuits.

Andrew Schaeffer attended the public schools at Emilie and Tullytown, Bucks county, and at early age began farming, which line of work proved a lucrative source of income. By economy and industry he accumulated sufficient to purchase in 1871 the Fairview farm in Bristol, upon which he now resides. The house is about one hun- dred and twenty-five years old, and is yet a very substantial structure. Mr. Schaeffer served as school director for nine years, and in various ways contributed to the general welfare of the community. His political affiliations are with the Republican party.

In 1849 Mr. Schaeffer married Catharine Williams, daughter of William and Susanna ( Miller) Williams, of Monroe county, Pennsylvania, and of German and Welsh descent. Eight children were the issue of this marriage. I. Michael, born October 24. 1851, died October 5, 1881. 2. Susanna W.,

Professor Raymond Bergey, of the College at Mont- pelier, France, 1747, married Marie La Barriere. · Adolphus La Barriere and his wife Hannah had two sons, Henry and Peter Birkey ; the name Bergey, from mis- use, became Birkey. After the death of Adolphus La Barriere his widow married a de Rohan and had children. Before he died Adolphus La Barriere appointed his dear friend Johann Wister guardian of his two sons. He had them educated and taught the trade of beaver fur hatters, and when they came of age Johann Wister, their guardian, who had done his duty and been very kind to them, gave them what remained of their fortune.

Peter Birkey was born in 1744, near Wolmsdorf, Pennsylvania. He married Elizabeth Jennings, daughter of John Jen- nings, high sheriff of Northampton county, Pennsylvania, a son of Solomon Jennings, surveyor of Fremore Manor, Pennsylvania. John Jennings (father) died of fever at Barbadoes, West Indies, while on his way to England. Solomon Jennings (grand- father ) served as commissioner ; he com- manded a company of militia, and after

The Rev. George William Forrester was of the noble and ancient house of For- rester, of Scotland. He was a minister of the Church of England, but having differed on the points of doctrine, and after dis- cussing the points in question (he was liberal in his views) with the Archbishop of Canterbury, he came to America and settled in Maryland.

Roger Kirk and Rachel Hughes, his wife, were members of the Society of Friends. William Henry Brown, chief engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Slater Brown Russell, justice of the peace of West Ches- ter, Pennsylvania, Chester Hughes Kirk. William Thompson Kirk, Theodore Kirk Stubbs, many times member of the Legis- lature,-descendants of Roger Kirk, and Rachel Hughes, are members of the Penn- sylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution. Professor Russell Hays, of Swarthmore Collegt, and H. H. Haines, president of

Bank of Rising Sun, Md., are descendants of Rachel Hughes and Roger Kirk. Mary Hughes, the youngest daughter of Elisha and his wife Mary, married Joseph Car- roll, a graduate of Dublin University, a Roman Catholic, and a relative of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, Maryland. Thomas Hughes was a member of "The Principio Company of Maryland and Virginia," where in 1716-18 the first pig iron was made in America; vide Henry Whiteley's historical pamphlet "On The Principio Com- pany." He was a relative of Sir William Bulkeley Hughes, of (Palace) Plas Coch, Wales, whose daughter Mary Hughes mar- ried Osgood Gee, Esq., of the illustrious house of Carew. Sir Nicholas Hackett Carew and other members of that family, with Augustine and Lawrence Washington, William Chetwynd, Thomas and William Russell, and later George Washington hin- self, were interested in the Principio Com- pany. Joseph Whitaker, a relative of Governor Pennypacker's mother, afterward owned the works and mines.

Miss Ingersoll, daughter of Charles Inger- soll, of Philadelphia, married Arthur Amory, of New York city.

Peter Birkey was a member of the Society of Friends, but at the outbreak of the Revo- lutionary war he entered the second troop of Count Armand de Rneri's, Partizan Legion; he was a corporal and would not accept pay or promotion, as he said that he fought for liberty and justice for all man- kind, and not for money and honors. He "venerated General Washington," who

called him "honest Peter Birkey," and often sent him while in camp at Valley Forge on important secret missions of duty. While at Valley Forge, Peter Birkey sold his property and bought shoes and pro- visions which he distributed among the suffering patriot soldiers, his companions. Peter Birkey was very poor in 1826, and General Bloomfield and others wished him to have a pension, but he refused to apply for it. He enlisted in Armand's Legion because its commander was of France, and his father La Barriere was a Frenchman. He was in the battle of Germantown, where his horse was shot under him near Chew's house, but he brought the saddle and bridle off the field under the hot fire of the Brit- ish; when asked why he so risked his life,
