Isaac Hicks married (second) October 20, 1792, Mary (Gilbert) Young, widow of Edward Young, of Philadelphia, who was born August 3, 1757, and died at Newtown February 22, 1812.

Edward Hicks, youngest son of Isaac and Catharine, was born at Attleboro (now Langhorne, then known as Four- Lanes-End) April 2, 1780. His mother dying when he was but eighteen months old, he was left to the care of her faith- ful servant Jane, a colored woman. His fatlier's home was entirely broken up by the confiscation of all the property belonging to his father, Gilbert Hicks, and this, with sickness and deaths in his family, reduced him for a season to a great strait. He later secured a home for his infant son in the family of David Twining, where he remained until thir- teen years of age. Edward Hicks in his "Memoirs" gives abundant testimony of his appreciation of the kindness received at the hands of his adopted mother, Elizabeth Twining. In April, 1793, he was apprenticed to the coach-making trade with William and Henry Tomlin- son, at Four-Lanes-End, where he re- inained until 1800, when he set up bus- iness for himself. In the autumn of 1801 he entered the employ of Joshua C. Canby, then a coach-maker at Mil- ford (now Hulmeville) and remained a resident of that village until April, 18II, when he removed to Newtown, Penn- sylvania. He became a member of Mid- dletown Monthly Meeting of Friends in the spring of 1803, and later became a prominent minister in the Society, trav- eling extensively in the ministry. Like his distinguished cousin. Thomas Hicks, he possessed considerable artistic talent, and a number of his paintings of high merit are still preserved. He was an ardent temperance advocate, and claimed to have built the first house in Bucks county erected without the use of intox- icating liquors, in 1804. He married II mo. 17, 1803, Sarah Worstall, daugh- ter of Joseph and Susanna (Hibbs) Worstall. He died in Newtown 8 mo. 23, 1849, and his widow died 12 mo. 30, 1855. Their children were: Mary, born IO mo. 12. 1804, died 2 mo. 7. 1880, un- married; Susan, born II mo. 9, 1806, married 5 mo. 17, 1832, John Carle, Jr., of New York, and died in New York, I mo. 24. 1872; Elizabeth T., born 8 mo. 24, 18II, married Richard Plummer, of Baltimore, Maryland, II mo. II, 1852, and died in Newtown, 3 mo. 22, 1892; Sarah B., born 12 mo. 24, 1816, married Isaac C. Parry, of Warminister, 5 mo. 23, 1844, and died in Warminister 2 mo. 23. 1895: Isaac \V., born I mo. 20, 1809, and died 3 mo. 28, 1898.

Isaac W. Hicks, only son of Edward and Sarah (Worstall) Ilicks, was born at Hulmeville, and reared in Newtown, Bucks county, where he lived from the age of two years until his death. He

assisted his father in the coach painting business and farming, but after his fath- ers death he devoted himself mostly to farming. He was greatly interested in the incorporation of Newtown as a bor- ough in 1838, and the laying of the brick walk on Penn street which led from a ladies seminary at the corner of Penn and Congress street to the heart of the town. and was the first improved walk in the new borough. Throughout his life he was interested in everything that would add to the best good of the town. His entire life after he was twelve years of age was spent in the house on Penn street, Newtown borough, built by his father about 1821 and remodeled by him- self in 1870, and still occupied by his daughter Sarah. He married 6 mo. 4, 1857. Hannah L. Penrose, daughter of William and. Hannah (Jarrett) Pen- rose, of Horsham. She was born at the historic Graeme Park, the former resi- dence of Sir William Keith, colonial governor of Pennsylvania, 2 mo. 20, 1820, and died at Newtown 9 mo. 23, 1894. The children of Isaac W. and Hannah Penrose Hicks are:

Sarah W., born 4 mo. 9, 1858, still re- siding at the old homestead in New- town.

Edward P., born 8 mo. 27. 1859. mar- ried 2 mo. 24. 1903, Lydia Harper Barnesley, daughter of William and Mary Ellen (Paff) Barnesley, of Newtown, and resides in Newtown borough, in the house on Penn street, opposite the old homestead built by his father about 1833, and re- modeled by himself in 1904. Their daugh- ter, Mary Barnesley Hicks, was born 7 mo. 24. 1904. Mr. Hicks took a prominent part in 1898 in establishing the standard telephone system at Newtown which was a matter of much importance to Newtown. He was for seven years a member of the Newtown town council and during this time many very im- portant improvements were inaugurated which have proved beneficial to the town. He is somewhat retiring in dis- position but one of the useful and highly respected citizens of the town and county.

William Penrose Hicks, born 9 mo. 6, 1864. married 5 mo. 23, 1890, Nellie Brown, daughter of William B. and Hannah (Hough) Brown, of Browns- burg, and resides on "Fountain Farm." adjoining Newtown borough. Their children are: Hannah Brown Hicks, born 12 mo. 1, 1891 ; and Cornelia Carle Hicks, born 3 mo. 1, 1898.

PENROSE HICKS. Bucks county is rich in memories of her honored citizens of the past, among whom must be num- bered Penrose Hicks, for many years a respected resident of Richland town- ship. Mr. Hicks belonged to a family whose name is a memorable one in the

annals of the Society of Friends. Will- iam Hicks was a native of Bucks county, and was the father of five sons and two daughters. One of the sons, George, was a farmer and married Ann, daughter of John and Ann Penrose. To Mr. and Mrs. Hicks were born eleven chil- dren, of whom one was Penrose, men- tioned at length hereinafter. In re- ligious belief all the family were Friends.

Penrose Hicks, son of George and Ann (Penrose) Hicks, was born May 9, 1802. in Milford township. In his youth he learned the trade of a wheelwright and ploughmaker, but at the age of twenty-one became a farmer, devoting himself to agricultural pursuits until he was forty-two years of age. Some years later he retired from active labor. He was one of the directors of the Turn- pike Company. He was chosen by his neighbors a member of the council, in which he served with honor to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He was a Republican in politics, and always took an active interest in the affairs of the organization. He was a birthright member of Richland Monthly Meeting.

Mr. Hicks married Mary, daughter of William and Martha (Cadwallader) Ball, and they were the parents of a number of children. After the death of his wife Mr. Hicks married, November 13, 1862, Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh and Eliza- beth (Roberts) Foulke.

The death of Mr. Hicks occurred July II, 1886, when he had reached the ad- vanced age of eighty-four. He left be- hind him the memory of a good husband and father. a kind neighbor, and a use- ful, public-spirited citizen.

J. WILMER LUNDY, of Newtown, Bucks county, was born at Rancocas, Burlington county, New Jersey, May 3, 1869, and is a son of Joseph and Mary (Evans) Lundy. Though a native of New Jersey. as have been his ancestors for four generations, his paternal an- cestors were among the earliest settlers of the county in which he now resides.

Richard Lundy, the first American an- cestor of the subject of this sketch, was a son of Sylvester Lundy, of Axminster, in the county of Devon, England, and came to Boston, Massachusetts in 6 mo., 1676, "and from thence came to the Delaware River the 19th of the 3d mo .. 1682." So says the ancient record in the quaint little tattered "Book of Arrivals" in the handwriting of Phine- as Pemberton (the first clerk of the Bucks county courts), now in posses- sion of the Bucks County Historical So- ciety. The same volume records the ar- rival in the Delaware river in "8th mo. 1683. in the ship Concord of London, the Master William Jeffry, of Elizabeth Bennett. daughter of William Bennett of Hammondsworth, in the county of

Middlesex (now deceased) and now the wife of the aforesaid Richard Lundy." William Bennett was accompanied to America by his wife Rebecca and daughters Elizabeth, before mentioned, Ann and Sarah. This book also gives the record of the marriage of Richard Lundy and Elizabeth Bennett, 6 mo. 24, 1684. Elizabeth survived her marriage but three years, and was buried 6 mo. 14, 1687. Still another entry in the old "Book of Arrivals" is interesting to the descendants of Richard Lundy, that which records the arrival of James Harrison and the Pembertons in the ship "Submis- sion," on 5 mo. 7, 1682, at Choptank, Maryland, and their subsequent trip overland to Bucks county, detailed in this volume in a brief sketch of "The Pemerton Family," in which is given a list of the passengers on the ship "Sub- mission." With the family of James Harrison came Jane Lyon, who was to serve in his family for four years to 9 mo. 2, 1686, and was then to receive fifty acres of land. On 4 mo. 24, 1691. this Jane Lyon became the second wife of Richard Lundy, at Middletown Meet- ing of Friends. Jane was born in the year 1666, and was therefore sixteen years of age when she arrived in Penn- sylvania, and twenty-five years old when she became the wife of Richard Lundy. On 10 mo. 6th, 1682-3 there was laid out to Richard Lundy two hundred acres in what is now Bristol township, just west of the Manor of Pennsbury, which was patented to him 5 mo. 6th, 1684. 8 mo. 7th, 1685, he exchanged this tract with Jacob Telner for 1000 acres in what is now Buckingham. "back in the woods", as it is described in the deed recorded at Doylestown under date of 2 mo. 12th, 1688. It comprised all the land below the York road, eastward from the west line of Judge Paxson's "Nonesuch" farm to the village of Holi- cong, and extending to the top of Buck- ingham mountain.

Richard Lundy did not at once take up his residence "back in the woods" of Buckingham, but purchased of Samuel Burgess a tract of 103 acres on the up- per side of Pennsbury Manor, part of the same tract on which Falls Meeting House was erected, and probably re- sided there until close to 1700. He finally conveyed this land to Thomas Duer, and took up his residence on his Buckingham purchase, either . where Charles J. Smith now resides, or across the creek at the old Ely homestead now owned by the estate of Anna J. Will- iams. On 7 mo. 12. 1692, he conveyed to Francis Rossel. 500 acres off the west- ern end of his tract, lying in about equal quantities on both sides of the present Durham Road. Rossel dying in 1695, devised it to William Smith, Ralph Boon and the "sous of Samuel Burgess." By various conveyances prior to 1705 that

west of the Durham road came to Mathew Hughes, whose family owned and occupied it for over a century, or until the death of Amos Austin Hughes in 18II. The east side of the road was first occupied by Lawrence and Enoch Pearson in 1702-3, and came to be the home of Thomas Canby in 1729. On 4 1110. 7. 1700, Richard Lundy, then re- residing in Buckingham, conveyed 100 acres to Joseph Large (now the Broad- hurst farm) and some time prior to 1719 sold to his son Richard Lundy, Jr., 300 acres of the remaining 400 acres of his tract "back in the woods." The date was probably that of the marriage of Richard, Jr., in 1714. He, however, failed to convey the land to his son, and he having agreed to sell it to Isaac Norris, Richard Lundy, Sr., and Jane his wife and Richard, Jr., and Elizabeth his wife in 1710 conveyed it to Norris, and a year later it became the property of Hugh Ely, and remained in the fam- ily several generations. In 1724 Rich- ard Lundy, Sr., conveyed the remaining 100 acres to Hugh Ely. This was prob- ably the approximate date of the death of his wife Jane, and he took up his residence with his son Richard, Jr., who at this date had removed to Plumstead township and located on land belonging to his brother-in-law, Ebenezer Large, which he subsequently purchased.

Richard Lundy was a prominent mem- ber of Falls Meeting, and is frequently mentioned on their records. On his removal to Buckingham he became affil- iated with the Meeting there, then a branch of Falls Meeting, and on it be- coming a separate monthly meeting with Wrightstown in 1720, became one of the overseers and elders. On 8 mo. 5. 1737, he requested a certificate to re- move himself to Maiden Creek, Berks county, where his son and family had re- moved two years previously,

and though the Friends remonstrated against his removing himself so far back on the frontiers at his advanced age, he persisted, and was granted a certificate to Exeter Meeting, which he deposited there the month following. He prob- ably died at Maiden Creek soon after his removal there, as we find no further record of him, and at the marriage of his grandson there in 1789 his name does not appear among the witnesses.

Richard Lundy (2), son of Richard and Jane (Lyon) Lundy, was born 3 mo. (May) 20. 1692, in Bucks county, probably in Falls township, and died 2 mo. (February) 28. 1772, at Alla- muchy, Warren county. New Jersey. At least part of his boyhood days were probably spent on the Buckingham plan- tation, 300 acres of which was conveved to him on his marriage in 1714. His wife was Elizabeth Large, daughter of Joseph Large, then deceased, and they were married at Buckingham under the

auspices of Falls Meeting, 4 mo. 3, 1714. He was for ten years caretaker of Buckingham Meeting House and "grave digger." The records of the Meeting on Io mo. 2, 1724, recites the fact that he had "moved too for off" to further officiate in this capacity, and fixes the date of his removal to Plum- stead, where he was later made one of the trustees of the land on which Plum- stead Meeting House was erected though the deed for the land (200 acres) on which he lived was not made to him until November 2, 1734, less than six months before the date on which he conveyed it preparatory to his removal to Berks county, viz .: 3 mo. 24, 1735. On 3 mno. 5, 1735, he was granted a cer- tificate by Buckingham Meeting to re- move with his family to Maiden Creek, Berks county, the certificate being di- rected to Gwynedd Meeting, from which Exeter was organized two years later, and of which latter meeting he was ap- pointed an elder in 1737. Richard Lundy and his family remained in Berks county twelve years, removing in 5th mo., 1747 to the valley of Pequest river, in what is Allmuchy now

township, Warren county, he and his family bringing cer- tificates to Bethlehem (later Kingwood, and now Quakertown Meeting) in Hunt- erdon county, New Jersey., but becom- ing later attendants at Hardwick Meet- ing, a branch of Kingwood. Several of his children had married prior to the removal to New Jersey, but all removed there with their families, though a few years later several of his children and grandchildren removed elsewhere. On March 28, 1749, Richard Lundy was commissioned a justice of the peace for the county of Morris, in which his res- idence was then included. In the same ycar he was made an elder of the Friends Meeting at Great Meadows, and frequent mention is made of meetings being held at his house. He died in Allemuchy, 2 mo. 28, 1772, and was bur- ied at Hardwick Friends' burying ground. On the records of Kingwood Monthly meeting is recorded a testi- mony of his worth, which says among other things, "he was a man mitch es- teemed among Friends and others, being of a meek and quiet spirit, exemplary in life and conversation, and a pattern of plainness and simplicity * *

* He was an affectionate husband, a tender father, a kind friend, punctual and just in his dealings among men, evidencing to the world that he was concerned to do to others as he would have them do to him." His eighty years of life had not been lived in vain.

The children of Richard and Eliza- beth (Large) Lundy were nine in num- ber, all of whom were born in Bucking- ham and Plumstead townships. Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and all of whom removed with their parents to Berks

He had eleven children, ten of whom grew to maturity: Samuel, William, Amos, Sarah, Richard, Ann, Ebenezer, John Eleazer and Azariah. Samuel and Will- iam removed to Canada, Samuel to New- market, and William to Lundy's Lane, it being upon his property that the famous battle of Lundy's Lane was fought in 1814.
