Lord Stirling's headquarters at New Hope, are said to have been in the old hip roof house known as "The old Fort" which then stood on the site of the pres- ent hipped roof home of Mr. P. R. Slack on the Old York road, just opposite the avenue and entrance to "Maple Grove" then and now owned and occupied by the Paxson family and where Benjamin Parry's wife Jane Paxson was born Jan- uary 24. 1767.
Looking backward through the long vista of more than a century and a quar- ter, it seems difficult to realize that New Hope ("Coryell's Ferry") and the now

peaceful highways about it once re- sounded with the bustle of war, and the frequent tramp of armed men, as our patriot sires hurried forward to do battle for their country or fell back in the sad- der marches of retreat. The years have come and gone since the days of the Revolution, bringing with them many changes, but the old settlement at "Coryell's" still remains, nestling close beside the noble river, at the "Ferry" which our forefathers defended in the old heroic days. Many of the boats used by General Washington on Christmas night, 1776, to make that memorable crossing of the Delaware, now known the world over in history, as "Washington's Cross- ing" and made additionally famous by the artists' brush, were collected at New Hope ("Coryell's Ferry") and kept se- creted behind Malta Island, then densely wooded over and were floated by night, down the river to "Knowles Cove," just above Taylorsville, Pennsylvania, the point where Washington crossed

of Trenton. "Malta Island" has since filled up and become mainland, the present "Union Mills" paper manu- facturing company's plant at New Hope is just at the north end of Malta Island. Former mills here were owned many years ago by Daniel Parry Esq., (born April 21, 1774) a younger brother of Benjamin Parry. Many letters of General Washington and other of his prominent Generals, are at different times, during the Revolutionary War, dated at "Coryell's Ferry."
In both Benjamin Parry's day and that of his son Oliver Parry, the "Old Parry Mansion" was the scene of much hospitality and its doors were thrown open wide upon many an occasion to bid hearty welcome to both city and coun- try guests and during the life time of the latter and his hospitable and popular wife, Rachel Randolph, this ancient homestead was often called by their friends "Hotel de Parry" and sometimes "Liberty Hall." Many distinguished per- sons have been entertained beneath its broad roof in the long period in which it has stood and had it lips, much it could speak of events in three centur- jes. Interesting mementos of bye-gone days have been sacredly treasured up and much old family furniture is yet pre- served in this home; some of it nearly (or quite) 200 years old, and brought from over the sea; the ancient high clock standing half way up the stairs, on the broad landing, has ticked in and ont the lives of many generations of the family and still shows upon its familiar face the moon, in all its phases. In this connection it may be perhaps of some in- terest to note the occurrence of an event so unusual in its character as to become historic, and worthy of passing notice in the birth in this home, on May 3, 1901,
of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Randolph Parry (named Margaret Kreamer Parry) in the same room in which her great-grandfather Oliver Parry was born in 1794, one hundred and eleven years ago, and in the same old mansion, in which her great-great-grand- father Benjamin Parry lived and died. Seldom do we find homes in the United States passed on beyond the second or third generations. Many sketches of "The Old Parry Mansion" have appeared from time to time, in various published works, and newspaper articles, a com- paratively recent one on July 15, 1901, issue of The Philadelphia Inquirer by its historical editor, being illustrated. In the "York Road, Old and New" by Rev. S. F. Hotchkin, published 1892 in Phil- adelphia, this old colonial home of the Parrys of "Coryell's Ferry" is thus de- scribed: "As viewed from the outside- this ancient mansion, presents a quiet and dignified appearance, in keeping with the family for whom it was built; the quaint and handsome carved ornamen- tations, over the windows, small window panes, pointed corners, and hoods, be- token its age, and are charmingly at- tractive. Over the front door remains the ancient bonnet or hood of our fore- fathers' day, beneath which is the mas- sive old-fashioned door, with its trans- verse panels, brass knocker, cumbrous lock and huge iron hinges, which stretch across the whole width. This door opens into a wide wainscoated and paneled hall, running through the middle of the house and dividing the long parlor upon one side from the dining room and the parior or sitting room, on the other; in these rooms and in daily use, are yet preserved the corner cupboards of a hundred years ago" now (1905) 121 years old. "The up- per floors are approached, by low broad steps and half way up the stairs on the broad landing, stands in one corner, relic of a past age-the old eight-day clock which has ticked in and out, the lives of so many of the family and still showing upon its familiar face, the moon in all its phases. Five bed chambers, most of them communicating upon the second floor, open out upon an upper hall, the full width of that beneath; the inside shutters over the house-both in the main building and wing-are secured for the most part by long wooden bars, stretching across, and fitting into the deep window frames. In most of these rooms may be seen great open mouthed chimneys and fire places, the brick floors of which are painted in bright tile col- ors; immense closets, with brass door knobs in one of these chambers fill up en- tirely one end of the room, taking sev- cral feet off its length but compensating by the additional convenience afforded the family. The rooms and halls of this old mansion contain much valued, hand- some and ancient furniture, belonging

to the family for several generations, much of it being carved in solid ma- hogany and walnut woods. In one of the rooms on the first floor is a trap door in the floor leading into a cellar, partitioned off and shelved as a wine cellar, but which may have been in- tended in earlier times, as a means of escape from sudden danger. In the great attic overhead the children, grandchil- dren and great-great-grandchildren of the original owner, have often played and wondered at the contents of numer- ous chests, high cases of drawers and boxes, since found to have contained much linen-stuffs, and other articles of family value, and far up amid the ratters on the fourth floor, a dark secret room only reached by a long ladder (always removed after each visit) afforded a safe hiding place for papers, and such valued matter as seemed to require extra secur- ity and care in the time of the original owner, which was to his grandchildren, of course, a place of especial wonder, tinctured somewhat perhaps, with a spec- ies of fear. In the wing of the mansion, in a capacious fire place, still swings an ancient iron crane, with its outstretched arm at rest after a long term of service, much prized by the family and shown visitors as a curious relic. A huge bake oven of an early period and no longer used in the kitchen adjoining was torn out a few years ago for the lost space which was needed. An elaborately cut stone circle in the north gable end of the house, under the roof, bears a tablet inscribed Benjamin Parry, A. D., 1784, and to this home in 1787 he brought his wife Jane Paxson, as a bride" and here on December 20, 1794, was born their only son, the late Oliver Parry, Esq. whose son Major Edward Randolph Parry of the United States army, died at "The old Parry Mansion" in 1874 of dis- ease brought on by hardships and ex- posure endured during the late terrible Civil war. Major Parry received a brevet from Congress "for gallant serv- ices during the war." This old mansion has never been out of the Parry family and name; it is now (1905) owned and occupied by Richard Randolph Parry. Of the male descendants of Benjamin Parry (of the name) in the next genera- tion, Oliver Randolph Parry, born March 29, 1873, son of above Richard, is the only one living, at the present time.

HON. HARMAN YERKES, of Doyles- town, was born in Warminster township, Bucks county, October 8, 1843. He is of French and Holland descent, being son of Stephen and Amy Hart ( Montayne) Yerkes, and sixth in descent from Anthony Yerkes, who emigrated from Holland about 1700 and settled in Germantown. This pioneer ancestor of the Yerkes family in America was accompanied to our shores by his wife Margaret and two sons Herman and Adol- phus. The first record we have of him is in the year 1702, when he was burgess of Germantown, a position which he filled for three years. In 1709 he purchased the plantation in the "Manor of Moorland," 10W Moreland township, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. He married ( sec- ond) Sarah (Eaton) Watts, widow of Rev. John Watts, pastor of Pennypack Baptist church.
HERMAN YERKES, son of Anthony and Margaret, born in Holland in 1689, died in Moreland in March, 1751. He was a farm- er and miller. He married February 8, 17IT, Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. John and Sarah (Eaton) Watts, born April 15, 1689. (Rev. John Watts was a native of Leeds, England, and his wife of Wales). Herman Yerkes probably settled on his father's plantation in Moreland at its pur- chase in 1709. His father conveyed to him two hundred acres on Pennypack creek in 1723. In 1744, in conjunction with Walter Moore he erected a mill on Penny- pack and set apart nineteen acres of land therewith. This mill he devised to his sons, and it later became the property of Jacob and John Shelmire, and is to this day known as "Shelmire's Mill." The children of Herman and Elizabeth ( Watts) Yerkes :

He also fol- lowed the mercantile business at Plymouth Montgomery county, in the years 1752-5, where he had purchased a tract of land from his brother John in 1747. In 1762 he removed to Warminster township, Bucks county, being the first of the family to make a home in this county. He purchased 181 acres of land near Johnsville, which still remains the property of his descend- ants. He returned to Moreland in 1788 and died there November 29, 1804. He was an active supporter of the war for inde- pendence. His name appears on the list of Associators in Warminster in 1775, and he served on various committees under the committee of safety. His Warminster home witnessed some of the bloody car- nage and rout following the battle of Crooked Billet in 1778. An incident is related of an American soldier being saved from slaughter by four British soldiers who were pursuing him, by the strategy of Mrs. Mary Yerkes, the second wife of Harman, who, when the soldier had sought refuge in the house, conducted him to a rear exit and found him a place of con- cealment in a pile of buckwheat straw in a neighboring field. His pursuers entered the house and made a diligent search for the fugitive, thrusting their bayonets through beds and up the chimney, to the terror of the women and children of the household.
After locating at Plymouth, Mr. Yerkes became enamored of a Quaker lass, Mary, the daughter of Edward Stroud, of White Marsh, and uniting himself with the So- ciety, was married to her by the simple ceremony of the Society March 22, 1750-1. She died in 1771, and he married (second) Mary (Houghton) Clayton, widow of Richard Clayton. His second wife died in 1785, and he married in 1787 Elizabeth (Ball) Tompkins, widow of John Tomp- kins, of Moreland. She was the proprie- tress of an inn on the Old York road, and his remaining years were spent as "mine host" at this old hostelry. His widow died in 1819. The children of Harman and Mary ( Stroud) Yerkes, were :
I. William, born 1752, died in infancy.
2. Elizabeth, born September 5, 1753; married 1779 John Hufty.
