Dr. Charles H. Mathews, only son of Simon and Isabella, was born at Rox- boro, Philadelphia. November 6, 1805. He received a liberal education and graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1827, locating at Doylestown, Bucks county, where he practiced his chosen profession until his death, July 25, 1849. He was a man of fine intellectual ability, pleasing address and irreproachable character; a popular and skilled physi- cian, who was loved and respected by all who knew him. He took an active inter- est in the affairs of the town and county, and filled many positions of trust. He was prothonotary of the county for the term 1836-9. He was for several years an officer of militia, and was commis- sioned major-general of the district con- posed of the counties of Bucks, Mont- gomery and Delaware, his commission being delivered to him by General W. WV. H. Davis but a week prior to his death. Dr. Mathews married first Mary Meredith, of Doylestown township, and (second) Margaret Rodman, daughter of Gilbert and Sarah (Gibbs) Rodman, and a sister of his classmate, Dr. Lewis Rod- man, who achieved high distinction in the practice of his profession in Phila- delphia.

Mrs. Mathews was born January 29, 1797. and died January 12, 1875. She married Dr. Mathews on May 3, 1837. She belonged to a family that had been: prominent in state and national affairs. for several generations. Her grand- father, Richard Gibbs, was sheriff of the county of Bucks for the term 1771-2, and filled a number of other high positions.

The pioneer ancestor of the Rodman family was John Rodman, who died in the Barbadoes in 1685. £ He is supposed to have been the same John Rodman, a Quaker, who for wearing his hat at the assizes at New Ross, Ireland, in 1665, was sent to jail for three months and later banished the country. See Rutty's "History of Quakers in Ireland." This theory is strengthened by the known fact that a great number of Quakers and other "dissenters" were transported to Barbadoes between the years 1669 and 1685. John Rodman died on his planta- tion in the parish of Christ Church,

ATKINSON FAMILY. The family of Atkinson is an ancient and honorable one, whose representatives were found in different parts of Great Britain several centuries ago. Two distinct families of the name settled in Bucks county, Penn- sylvania, in the latter part of the seven- teenth century. Thomas Atkinson, of Sandwick, Yorkshire, was married to Jane Bond, at Knaresborough meeting of Friends in 1678, and four years later emigrated to America with his wife and three sons, Isaac, William and Samuel, settling first in Burlington county, New Jersey, but removing soon after to Bucks county. Both Thomas and Jane were ministers among Friends. The former died in 1687, and his widow married Will- iam Biles two years later. She travelled extensively in the ministry after her second marriage, both in the colonies and in England and Ireland. Thomas Atkinson was a son of John Atkinson of Newby, Yorkshire, and in his will in 1687 devises land in Bucks county to his brother John Atkinson, "should he come to Pensilvania." It is not known that the brother John ever emigrated to Amer- ica. Isaac Atkinson, the eldest son of Thomas and Jane, died in Bucks county in 1721, leaving three children, John, Jane and Thomas. Most of the descendants of Thomas and Jane Atkinson eventu- ally settled in New Jersey.

The present family of Atkinsons in Bucks county are descendants of John Atkinson, of Scotforth, near the city of Lancaster, England, who with his brother Christopher and their respective fami- lies embarked in the ship "Brittanica," in April, 1690, for Pennsylvania, where they had purchased of William Penn 1500 acres of land, to be laid out, etc., in March, 1690. Christopher Atkinson, the elder of the two brothers, was married at Lancaster Meeting. England, on 6 mo. 8. 1679, to Margaret Fell, daughter of Christopher Fell, of Newtown, Lanca- shire, and the records of that meeting show the birth of seven of their children, of whom at least four, William, Hannah, Margaret and Isabel, sailed with their parents, though only the two latter ap- pear to have survived the voyage, the father. Christopher Atkinson, also dying on the way to America. John Atkinson, the other brother, had married at the same meeting, on 2 mo. 8. 1686. Susanna Hynde, daughter of Richard Hynde, of Scotforth, and the following children were born to them in Lancashire, viz .: William. I mo. 31, 1687; Mary, 7 mo. 25, 1689: John, 8 mo. 25, 1692, died 9 mo. 5, 1694: John, born 9 mo. 25, 1695. The three surviving children above named accompanied their parents on board the "Brittanica." and, both their parents dy- ing on the voyage, were received by the Friends of Middletown Meeting. Bucks county, where the certificate from Lan-

caster Meeting, dated 2 mo. 30, 1690, was deposited.

'The 1500 acres of land purchased by Christopher and John Atkinson was laid out in 1700 in Buckingham township, Bucks county ; 1,000 acres in a parallelo- gram was surveyed in right of Chris- topher, lying between the present Me- chanicsville road and the line of the land of T. Howard Atkinson, a lineal de- scendant of John, and extending from the Street road at Sands' Corner to the Greenville road at Beans' Corner. It was in two equal tracts of 500 acres each, and was patented to Margaret Atkinson, widow of Christopher, the upper half in her own right, under the will of her husband, proved on her arrival in Phila- delphia, and the lower tract for the use of her children. The latter was con- veyed by the widow and heirs to Jo- seph Gilbert, and the upper tract by Margaret Atkinson to William Cooper. The remaining 500 acres was surveyed for the use of the heirs of John Atkinson, and was laid out on the opposite side of the Street road, touching the upper tract of the 1,000 acres at Sands' Corner, and extending northwesterly from that point. It was resurveyed by Cutler in 1703 in the name of Alice and Mary Hynde, sisters of Susanna, wife of John Atkinson, who had taken out letters on the estates of John and Susanna, in Phil- adelphia, September 6, 1699. No convey- ance appears of record by the Atkinson heirs or their representatives, the first actual settlers thereon being William George, and Alice his wife. Certain it is that none of the heirs of either Chris- topher or John Atkinson found homes on the land onginally purchased by their respective parents.

John Atkinson, the youngest child of John and Sunsanna (Hynde) Atkinson, born in Lancashire, 9 mo. 25, 1695, is supposed to have spent his boyhood days among Friends in the neighborhood of Newtown, Bucks county.

Makefield homestead, but on his mar- riage in 1744 to Mary Wildman, located of 200 acres in Wrightstown township, near Penn's Park, the greater part of which is still owned and occupied by his descendants, part of it by his great- grandson, George G. Atkinson, and part by another great-grandson, Wilmer At- kinson Twining, Esq. Two children, Thomas and Mary, were born to him, but the latter died in infancy. He died in August, 1760.

Thomas Atkinson, only surviving child of Thomas and Mary (Wildman) Atkinson, was born on the Wrights- town homesfead, 8 mo. 19, 1751. He in- herited from his father the two hundred acre farm, and spent his whole life there, dying 8 m0 19, 1815.

Timothy Atkinson, second son of Thomas and Sarah, was born in Wrights- town township and spent his whole life there. He was a farmer and at his fath- er's death purchased a considerable por- tion of the old homestead and lived thereon during his life.

Simpson, the latter being now a resident of Springfield, Missouri. Ed- mund married (second) Ann L.
