JACOB M. RUSH. The Rush family has been represented in Bucks county since an early period in its develop- ment. Jacob Rush, grandfather of Ja- cob M. Rush, was a son of Peter Rush, who lived and died in Bucks county. By trade he was a tailor and followed that pursuit for a number of years, but subsequently turned his attention to farming. He was a member of the To- hickon Reformed church. He married Miss Catherine Hofford, and they be- came the parents of six children: Charles, Hillary, Peter, William, Re- mandus, and Lucy Ann, the wife of Eleazer McCarty.

William Rush, father of Jacob M. Rush, was born in Bedminster town- ship. Bucks county, Pennsylvania. where he has followed farming all his life. His religious faith is indicated by his mem- bership in the Old Mennonite church. He married Miss Annie Myers, and they became the parents of nine children: Jacob M .; Lizzie, wife of Joseph Schuler : Catherine. the wife of Philip Musselman; Annie, wife of Newton Snyder; Isaac M .; Allen M .; William M .; Amanda, who died at the age of four years: and Mahlon M.

Rev. Jacob M. Rush was born in Bed- minister township, Bucks county, Penn- sylvania, April 4, 1862, and his education was acquired in the common schools near his home. In the periods of vaca- tion he assisted in the work of the home farm, gaining practical knowledge of the best methods of conducting agricultural interests, so that he was well qualified to successfully carry on business for himself in the same line. He remained

on the homestead farm until twenty years of age, and tlien entered the employ of the Plumsteadville Dairymen's Associa- tion in the capacity of foreman. He re- mained in that service for about four or five years, and in 1887 purchased the farm whereon he now resides. His at- tention has been chiefly given to agri- cultural pursuits and his property is now well improved, his fields being un- der a high state of cultivation. He was ordained on the 24th of October, 1895, a minister of the Old Deep Run Men- nonite church by Bishop Andrew Mack, of Bucks county, since which time he has officiated as pastor of the Deep Run church, and was also a supply for the Plumstead church. His life consecrated to his holy calling has been a potent element in the moral development of his community, and by example as well as precept he teaches the living truths of the gospel. Rev. Mr. Rush was mar- ried on the fourth of August, 1883, to Miss Mary G. Moyer, a daughter of Jo- seph H. and Elizabeth (George) Moyer. Their union has been blessed with ten children: Nora Lizzie, born February 20, 1885: Anna M ..

THE PENROSE FAMILY. The Penrose family is an old one and was established in Yorkshire, England, many generations before Robert Penrose, the ancestor of the subject of the sketch left there in 1669. He was the son of Robert and Jane Penrose, and in that year removed to county Wicklow, Ire- land, where in the same year he married Anna Russell. In 1673 he was impris- oned for refusing to take an oath. He was probably accompanied or preceded to Ireland by other members of the family, as Richard and John Penrose, of county Wicklow, suffered persecution in the same year for their religious faith.

Robert Penrose, a son of Robert and Anna (Russell) Penrose, born in county Wicklow. married in 1695 Mary Clay- ton. of Back Lane, Dublin, by whom he had thirteen children. On 3 mo. 2, 1717.

HISTORY OF BUCKS COUNTY.

In politics Mr. Penrose was a Repub- lican, but while giving his unfaltering support to the principles of that party by his ballot he neither sought nor held public office. He married Tacy Ann Kirk, daughter of John and Tabitha Kirk, who still survives at the age of eighty-three years. Her great-grand- father, a mason by trade, born 1692, and a son of John and Joan (Elliot) Kirk, the pioneer ancestors of the family, erected for Sir William Keith, the last of the provincial governors of Pennsyl- vania, Graeme Hall, the home of her husband's ancestors in Horsham. The children of Jarrett and Tacy Ann (Kirk) Penrose were: Ellen S., born January 14, 1843, married Edward T. Betts, late of Buffalo, New York, deceased; Eliza- beth H., born January 4, 1845, wife of Alfred Moore, of Horsham; William, of Warrington, Bucks county, born July 31, 1847, mentioned hereinafter; Alfred, born May 14, 1849, died in infancy; and Samuel, also mentioned hereinafter.

William Penrose, born in Horsham township, Montgomery county, Penn- sylvania, July 31, 1847, spent the days of his childhood and youth upon the home farm and early became familiar with the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist. After his marriage he began farming on his own account in Warrington township, Bucks county, upon the tract of land which is yet his home. He has attended market and is regarded as a practical and prosperous agriculturist. He has one of the exten sive and valuable farms of Warrington township, comprising three hundred acres, upon which are two sets of farm buildings, houses, barns and outbuild- ings. The farm is well equipped in every way and its highly cultivated con- ditions indicates the careful supervision which he has given to it. He is now largely living retired, having given the management of the property over to his son. His present residence is situated on the Doylestown pike and trolley line, and is a commodious two story stone structure, built in modern style of ar- chitecture. It is surrounded by a fine stone fence, the gates being formed by heavy pillars, and beautiful forest and evergreen trees adorn the land, while in the rear are many fine fruit trees. He endorses . Republican principles and is deeply interested in the success of his party, but has never sought or desired office for himself. He was reared in the Friends' meeting and has never de- parted from that faith.

William Penrose was married Decem- ber 14, 1871, to Miss Hannah Paul, who was born in Warrington township. Bucks county, a daughter of Morris and Lydia (Hallowell) Paul. Joseph and Mary Paul, ancestors of Mrs. Penrose, came from Yorkshire, England. about 1682, and settled near the site of the present

village of Fox Chase. Joseph Paul pur- chased the farm now occupied by Will- iam Penrose in 1727, and it descended to his son James, who married 2 mo. 25, 1737, Mary Worth, daughter of Judge Worth, of Maryland; she was a lady of education and culture and a warm friend of Lady Ferguson, who then lived at Graeme Park. Joseph Paul, first child of James and Mary (Worth) Paul, born 1739, became the next owner of the old Warrington homestead. He married his cousin, Hannah Paul, whose mother, Sarah Morris, was a daughter of Mor- ris and Susanna Morris, the latter a prominent minister of the Society of Friends for forty years, and although the mother of twelve children she made several religious visits to various parts of the American colonies and three voyages over the sea, attending the Meetings of Friends, and the gracious arm of divine providence was evidently manifested in preserving and supporting her through divers remarkable perils and dangers, which she ever reverently re- membered and gratefully acknowledged. Her paternal grandfather, Joshua Paul, was a descendant of an old colonial fam- ily connected with the Friends' meet- ing. Morris Paul was reared in War- rington township, where he settled on a farm after attaining man's estate, re- maining one of the reliable and enter- prising agriculturists of his community up to the time of his death, his life be- ing in harmony with his profession as a member of the Society of Friends. His only child became the wife of Mr. Pen- rose. She was a lady of culture and in- telligence, who proved a devoted wife and loving mother and was also a con- sistent Christian. She died of typhoid fever in 1900, and their daughter Lydia H. died on the 29th of April of the same year when twenty years of age, also from an attack of typhoid. The other children are J. Howard, born May 10, 1873; Morris P., born November 8, 1875; and William, born October 16, 1877. Howard married Miss Edith Chapman, and is in the office of the Reading Coal & Iron Company. Morris is connected with the extensive lumber, coal, and milling business in Pedricktown, New Jersey. William Penrose, Jr., is oper- ating the old homestead farm. On the 16th of October, 1902, William Penrose married (second) Miss Anna Hallowell, who was born in Abingdon township, Montgomery county, September 28, 1865, her parents being Joseph W. and Hannah (Lloyd) Hallowell, the former born in Abingdon township and the latter in Moreland township, Montgomery county, where both were representatives of distinguished early families of this state. Her father, Joseph W., was a son of John R. and Ann (Jarrett) Hallo- well, the former descended from John Hallowell and a native of Nottingham-
