Benjamin and Sarah ( Patterson) Hough. are the parents of two children, Frederick F., born September 27, 1879, at present a school teacher in Bucks county, who was born on the old homestead in Warrington, and William P., who was born in Chester county, September 7. 1885.

WILLIAM H. HOUGH. More than a century has passed since the Hough family was established in Bucks county, for here occurred the birth of Charles Hough, the grandfather of William H. Hough, his na- tal year being 1801. He followed farming throughout his entire life and gave his political support to the Republican party. He held the office of supervisor for a num- ber of years and was always faithful in matters of citizenship. The moral develop- ment of the community was also of deep interest to him. and his life was in harmony with his professions as a member of the Society of Friends. He married Miss Sus- an Neal, and they became the parents of ten children, six of whom have passed away. The living are: Rachel, the wife of Tames Lonsdale; Jasper, a carpenter of Lang- horne, Pennsylvania : Henry; and Martha, the wife of James Subers.

Henry Hough, son of Charles Hough, was born in Edgewood, Pennsylvania, in 1838, and when a lad of twelve years went with his parents to the farm upon which his son William now resides. There he as- sisted in the development and cultivation of the fields and continued to engage in agri- cultural pursuits until 1861, when he estab- lished a hardware business in Yardley, con- tintiing it for thirty-three years. In 1894 he sold this and removed to Solebury, where he has since given his attention to farming. Throughout his mercantile carcer he en- joved an unassailable reputation, and his business life has ever been characterized by

straightforward dealing and persistency of purpose. His efforts, too, have been directed along lines that have proved of value to his community, and at the same time have pro- moted individual success. He was one of the organizers of the Yardley Building and Loan Association, and for twenty-five years served as its treasurer. He was also one of the organizers of the Yardley National Bank. He held the office of school director for a number of years, the cause of educa- tion finding in him a warm friend; and his political allegiance has ever been given to the Republican party. He married Miss Elizabeth Parent, of New Jersey, and they became the parents of two children: Mar- tha, deceased; and William H.

William H. Hough was born November 17, 1856, and acquired his education in the common schools of Yardley. When not occupied with his text books he assisted his father in the store, and was thus identiefid with mercantile interests for twenty-four years. In 1880 he opened a grocery store in Yardley, which he conducted with fair success for ten years. Since that time he has been engaged in the butchering busi- ness in connection with farming, and his keen discernment and enterprise have brought to him very creditable and grati- fying success. Socially he is connected with the Improved Order of Red Men, No. 170, of Trenton, New Jersey, in which he has passed all of the chairs, a fact which indicates his popularity with his brethren of the fraternity. William H. Hough was married to Miss Anna Ford. a daughter of George and Anna Ford, of West Chester, Pennsylvania. They became the parents of seven children, of whom one died in infancy. The others are: Bertha J., wife of William J. Wilson; Edward T., Lillian I., Mabel C., Elsie and Bess, all at home.

EASTBURN FAMILY. The name of Eastburn is an old and honorable one. It originates in Yorkshire, England, where the Manor of Esteburne, (East stream) was created early in the Elev- enth century. It comprised the par- ishes of Bingley and Thwaite-Keighly, from whence the Eastburns emigrated to America six centuries later. The name "de Eastburn" appears as a sur- name as early as 1200, and the more familiar names of Robert and John East- burn in 1583. The first of the name to migrate to Penn's Province was Jolin Eastburn, of the parish of Bingley, who brought a certificate from Brigham Monthly Meeting of Friends to Phil- adelphia, dated 5 mo. 31, 1682.

Though never holding any political office he held many positions of trust, and was always active in promot- ing and maintaining local enterprises for the benefit of the people of his na- tive county. He was for many years a

manager and afterwards president of the Bucks County Agricultural Society; one of the organizers and most active mem- bers of the Solebury Farmers' Club; a manager of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Mutual Insurance Association of Bucks County, probably the largest local in- surance company in the county, and for many years its president, (1877 to 1886); a manager of the Lahaska and New Hope Turnpike Company, and its president for many years prior to his death; a manager of the Doylestown and Buckingham Turnpike Company from 1864 until his death; a manager of the Lambertville National Bank, and school director for many years. He was an active member of Solebury Monthly Meeting of Friends, being for thirty-five years clerk of the Meeting, and in every position he discharged its duties with ability and fidelity. Few men have been more honored and respected for sterling qualities than he. He was married 4 mo. 16, 1845, to Mary Anna, daughter of Hugh B. and Sarah M. Ely, of Bucking- ham, where she was born, II mo. 30, 1816. She died in Solebury, 7 mo. 2, 1879. Moses Eastburn inherited the farm upon which he was born and spent nearly his whole life there. It is now the property of liis only son, Hugh B. Eastburn. The children of Moses and Mary Anna (Ely) Eastburn were: Hugh B., born 2 mo. 11, 1846; and Fannie, born IO mo. 27, 1847, died 1851.

HUGH B. EASTBURN, of Doyles- town, lawyer and banker, was born on the Solebury farm, 2 mo. II, 1846. He attended the public schools of the neigh- borhood until 1859, and then entered the Excelsior Normal Institute at Carvers- ville, graduating in 1865. For two years he taught in the Boys' Grammar School at Fifteenth and Race streets, Philadel- phia, and subsequently in the Friends' Central High School. While there he began the study of law under the pre- ceptorship of Hon. D. Newlin Fell, now justice of the supreme court, and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in the spring of 1870. In June, 1870, he was appointed by State Superintendent Wick- ersham to fill a vacancy in the office of county superintendent of schools in Bucks county, and was elected to that position in 1872, and re-elected in 1875. Mr. Eastburn resigned the office of county superintendent in 1876 ånd en- tered the law department of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the Bucks County bar in August, 1877. In 1885 he was elected district at- torney on the Republican ticket, receiv- ing a handsome majority, though the county was at that time Democratic. Mr. Eastburn was one of the organizers of the Bucks County Trust Company in 1886, and has been one of the board of directors since organization and its pres- ident since 1895, and trust officer since

1892. He has always been deeply inter- ested in educational matters, and his voice and pen have been potent in every movement for the advancement of .edu- cation in his native county and state. He was for several years a member of the board of trustees of the West Chester Normal School, and has been a member of the Doylestown school board since 1890, and is now its president. In poli- tics he is an ardent Republican, and has taken an active interest in the councils of his party. He has been its represen- tative in many district, state and national conventions.

He was married 12 mo. 23, 1885, to Sophia, daughter of John B. and Eliza- beth S. (Fox) Pugh, of Doylestown, and has two sons: Arthur Moses, born 9 1110. 27, 1886; and Hugh B., Jr., born 2 110. II, 1888.

ROBERT EASTBURN, of Yardley, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, was born in Solebury township, Bucks county, 3 mo. 2, 1833, is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth K. (Taylor) Eastburn. Jacob Eastburn was a son of Moses and Rachel (Knowles) Eastburn, mentioned in a foregoing sketch, and was born on the old Eastburn homestead in Solebury, September 14, 1793. He married in 1829 Elizabeth K. Taylor, who, like Rachel ( Knowles) Eastburn, was a descendant of John and Mary (Lofty) Sotcher, through the marriage of their daughter Mary to Mahlon Kirkbride.

On the marriage of Jacob Eastburn his father purchased for him the farm now owned by John H. Ely, adjoining the homestead, and he spent the re- mainder of his life thereon. Jacob East- burn was a prominent and successful business man and farmer. His elder brother Robert had heired a farm at Limeport, but. going west when young. had died without issue, whereby the farm descended to his brothers and sis- ters, subject to the life estate of the father, Moses Eastburn. During the life- time of Moses the farm, which was a valuable one, as it included the then profitable lime kilns, quarries and wharfage on the canal, was occupied by Phineas Kelly. At the death of Moses Eastburn, in 1846, Jacob, as the eldest surviving son, was induced to take charge of this valuable plant and man- age it for the heirs. He entered into a partnership with the late George A. Cook, who had been a clerk under Mr. Kelly, and the new firm built up a pros- perous and profitable business. They eventually purchased the interest of the other heirs and continued the business until the death of Jacob Eastburn, which occurred August 26, 1860. Jacob East- burn was an active and prominent man in the community, though never holding any elective office other than school di- rector and was frequently called upon to act as guardian, trustee or executor

in the settlement of estates, and held many positions of trust. He was an ac- tive and consistent member of Sole- bury Friends' Meeting. Jacob and Eliz- abeth Eastburn were the parents of ten children, viz .: William T. and Anna, both of whom died in infancy; Robert, the subject of this sketch; Ellen Y., wife of Samuel Hart. of Doylestown township, born 10 mo. 27, 1834: Mary Anna, born 2 mo. 29, 1837, now widow of J. Simpson Betts; George, born 11 mo. 25. 1838, a prominent educator of P'hil- adelphia; Elias and Timothy, twins, born 12 110. 28, 1840-the former, now deceased, was a sheriff of Bucks county, and the latter is still living in Solebury; Rachel, died in infancy; Sarah, born 10 mo. 15, 1845. now deceased, was the wife of Mark Palmer, of Lower Makefield. Elizabeth K. Eastburn the mother, died 8 mo. 21, 1877.

Robert Eastburn was born and reared on the Solebury farm, and received a good education. Arriving at manhood, he was married, 2 mo. 12, 1857, to Eliza- beth, daughter of Joseph E. and Letitia (Betts) Reeder, and in the following spring began farming on the Pownall farm at Limeport, purchased by his father-in-law. His wife Elizabeth died there II mo. 6, 1860, and the following spring he sold out and returned to the homestead. His father having died the preceding summer, he as eldest son and executor was occupied in the settlement of the estate and the conduct of the business for the next two years. These were trying times for the Quaker-bred youth of our section, the civil war hav- ing broken out, and excitement ran. high. Though bred and trained as non-com- batants, religious principles and parental injunction and restraint were insufficient to restrain many from responding to the numerous calls for men to go to the front in defense of our country. This family of four grown-up sons was no exception to the rule. and only the con- tention as to who should go and who remain at home to care for the widow and farm, probably prevented their early enlistment. Finally, when the rebels had entered our own state, the strain was too great, and three of the boys (Robert, George and Elias) enlisted in an emergency company formed at Doylestown, and started for the front, leaving Timothy to care for the home interests. Fortunately the tide of in- vasion was turned and the boys were gone but a few weeks, and came home to make peace with the grim elders of the meeting for their transgression of the discipline. In 1866, one year after the close of the war by the active work of our late friend, John E. Kenderdine, a prominent and active worker in Sole- bury Meeting, assuming the position that the boys going to the front were no

more guilty than those at home con- tributing to the war, an acknowledg- ment of their deviation from one of the cardinal points of their faith (that of opposition to war) by in any way giv- ing encouragement to the government in its armed support, was prepared and signed by forty-seven of the fifty male members of that meeting. Of that list but fourteen are living at this time.

In the summer of 1863 Robert East- burn purchased the interest of his father in the lime business and removed to Yardley, where an office for the sale of the lime had been long established, and formed a partnership with George A. Cook, under the firm name of Eastburn & Cook, which lasted several years. Later he embarked in the coal and fer- tilizer business at Yardley, which he continued until 1897. In addition to this business, having been elected a justice of the peace in 1874, he started a real estate and general business agency, which he has continud to the present time in connection with the settlement of many estates and the transaction of official business, Mr. Eastburn having held the office of justice until the pres- ent time, a period of thirty years.

Robert Eastburn married (second) on October 20, 1863, Elizabeth, daughter of Charles White, of Solebury, and took up his permanent residence in Yardley. His wife died II mo. 5, 1866, and on 8 mo. 12, 1875, he married (third) Anna Palmer, who died 3 mo. 8, 1901. By his first marriage, with Elizabeth Reeder, Mr. Eastburn had two children: William T., born 8 mo. 31, 1859, married Alada Blackfan, and is now living at New Hope; and Jacob, born II mo. 6, 1860, now living in New York city. By his marriage with Anna Palmer he has one son, Walter N., born 2 mo. 6, 1881, mar- ried II mo. II, 1902, Isabel Frances Stanbury, and now living in New York.

WILLIAM T. EASTBURN, of New Hope, son of Robert and Elizabeth (Reeder) Eastburn, was born in Sole- bury, 8 mo. 31, 1859. At the death of his mother, II mo. 6. 1860, he went to live with his grandparents, Joseph E. and Letitia Reeder, and was reared in their home in Solebury. He received a good education, and upon his marriage began farming at his present residence, where he has ever since resided. At the death of his grandfather in 1892 he was devised this property and the farm upon which he was born at Limeport. Mr. Eastburn is a progressive and intelligent farmer, and has gradually improved the property since it came under his tenure. He is a member of Solebury Friends' Meeting. He was married Io mo. 5, 1887. to Alada F., daughter of the late William C. and Elizabeth (Ely) Blackfan, a lincal de- scendant of Edward Blackfan and Re- becca Crispin, the latter being a first

cousin to William Penn. William T. and Alada E. B. Eastburn have four children; viz .: Sybil Ethel, born 4 mo. 6, 1890; William B., born 4 mo. 30, 1894; Edward B., born 2 mo. 9, 1898; and Jo- seph Robert, born Io mo. 20, 1901.

CHARLES TWINING EASTBURN, of Yardley, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, one of the most active and successful young business men of Bucks county, was born in Newtown township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, October 9, 1873, and is a son of Franklin and Mary Eliza- beth (Twining) Eastburn, both of whom are descendants of the earliest English settlers in Lower Bucks. Mr. Eastburn' is a descendant in the seventh genera- tion from Robert and Sarah (Preston) Eastburn, who migrated from Yorkshire, England, in 1713, through their son Samuel, who settled in Solebury town- ship, Bucks county, in 1729. An account of the first three generations of this family is given above.

Amos Eastburn, son of Joseph and Mary (Wilson) Eastburn, and grandson of Samuel, above mentioned, was born in Solebury township, 12 mo. 25. 1770, be- ing the ninth of eleven children. His father died when he was ten years of age. Early in life he learned the trade of a carpenter and joiner, and followed that vocation in connection with . fatin- ing in Buckingham and Solebury town- ships, until ISII. when he removed to Middletown township and settled upon 135 acres of land that had been the prop- erty of the ancestors of his wife since 1699, nearly the whole of which is now included in the borough of Langhorne Manor, where he died 10 mo. 16, 1823. He married, 4 mo. 23. 1795. Mary Stack- house. born in . Middletown township, daughter of Jonathan and Grace (Com- fort) Stackhouse, granddaughter of Isaac and Mary (Harding) Stackhouse. and great-granddaughter of Thomas and Ann (Mayos) Stockhouse, an account of whose arrival in Bucks county in 1682 is given in another part of this work. The land upon which Mrs. Eastburn spent nearly her whole life was part of a tract of 350 acres taken up by her great-grandfather (the

last named Thomas Stackhouse) in 1699. and had been successively occupied by her di- rect ancestors down to the death of her father, Jonathan Stackhouse, in 1805, when fifty-five acres thereof was set apart to her as her share of her father's estate. Her husband later purchased of the other heirs an additional seventy-six acres adjoining, and it was her home from 1811 until her death. I mo. 31. 1831. Amos and Mary (Stackhouse) Eastburn were the parents of three chil- dren: Grace, born in Buckingham. I mo. 29. 1796, died in Fallsington in 1875.
