HISTORY OF BUCKS COUNTY.

Lit. (Doctor of Letters) was conferred upon him by the Board of Public Educa- tion in recognition of the "long service and eminent ability of James Monroe Willard and the fact that he stands at the head of the educational corps in the train- ing of young ladies in the public schools of this district, conferring upon him an honorary degree worthy of his literary and scholastic attainments, and for the honor- able distinction he has attained in his years of service in the public schools of the First School District of Pennsylvania."

Dr. Willard has always been actively in- terested in educational matters. He was a charter member of the Teachers' Institute of Philadelphia, and president of the same for two years, 1887-88. He was also one of the organizers of the Educational Club of Philadelphia, and its president for the first five years, 1892-96. He was vice-pres- ident of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland for one year, 1903. He was also instrumental in forming the Philadel- phia Teachers' Association, and was corre- sponding secretary of that body for two years. He is also a member of the Public Education Association of Philadelphia, and maintains his interest in Bucks county, as. shown by his membership in its Historical Society.

THE PARSONS FAMILY. The Par- sons family of Falls township, Bucks coun- ty, Pennsylvania, is descended from Isaac Parsons, born November 12, 1748, in Penn- sylvania, and supposed to be the son of Abraham and Johanna Parsons, of Lower Dublin, Philadelphia county, and mentioned in the will of the latter in 1779. He set- tled in Penns Manor, Bucks county, prior to the revolutionary war and later sold his Manor farm and purchased one in the upper part of Falls township between Morrisville and Fallsington. He was a member of St. James Episcopal Church of Bristol, Bucks county, and is buried in the old graveyard connected with that church beside his sec- ond wife, Elizabeth. His tombstone re- cords the fact that lie was born November 12, 1748, and died September 26, 1818. His first wife was a Stillwell and his second Elizabeth Brodnax, born May 20, 1755, died June 15, 1827. His children by his two wives were: Abraham, who died at about the same time as his father in Falls town- ship; Rachel, born Jimne 3, 1773, died De- cember 22, 1831, married Israel Bailey : Mary, died November 26, 1871, married John Martin; John; Amos; Sarah, who married Lemuel Crozer; and Isaac. The last two were children of the second mnar- riage. Elizabeth (Brodnax) Parsons is supposed to have been a daughter of Robert Brodnax, an carly settler in Ben- salem township. The land purchased by Isaac Parsons in Upper Falls about 1790 is still occupied by his grandson, Alfred M. Parsons.

Isaac Parsons, son of Isaac and Eliza- beth ( Brodnax) Parsons, was born in Falls township, July 3, 1794, and died there Au- gust 21, 1851. He inherited the homestead of his father and lived there the greater part of his life, but was for a time en- gaged in mercantile pursuits. He married, April 5, 1821, Lydia Ann Anderson, born in New Jersey, July 18, 1801, died July 19, 1901, one day over one hundred years old. She belonged to one of the oldest families in New Jersey, whose pioneer an- cestor is supposed to be Alexander Ander- son, who came from East Lothian, Scot- land, and settled in Monmouth county, New Jersey, about 1674, but her first known ancestor of whom we have any authentic record was Enoch Anderson, who was one of the early settlers on the site of Trenton, and one of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church of that city. He took an active part in the affairs of the colony and held a number of positions of trust. He died in 1741, leaving children : John; Enoch, born 1697, died 1756; Elia- kim; Jeremiah; Joshua; Catharine; Sa- rah; Rachel; Elizabeth and Mary. His son Eliakim became a large landowner in Hope- well township, now Mercer county, and died there in 1782, at a very advanced age. He married Rebecca Ely, daughter of George and Jane (Pettit) Ely, and had children : Rebecca, Catherine, Sarah, Ely and George. Of these Saralı married her first cousin, Josialı Anderson, son of Jere- iniah Anderson, above mentioned, and had children: Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Skirm; George; Joseph; Joshua; Achsah; Samuel ; Catharine; Dagworthy; Rebecca. Joseph Anderson, son of Josiah and Sarah, mar- ried Sarah Norton, daughter of Joshua Norton, of New Jersey, and lived for a time in Bucks county, where his daughter, Lydia Ann, married Isaac Parsons, Jr. The children of Isaac and Lydia Ann ( Ander- son) Parsons were : Elwood, born April 5, 1822, died October 13, 1891; mar- ried, March 26, 1851, Mercy Ann Taylor, of Morrisville, and had children : Anna C., Mary T., Lydia A. and Ella. He was a farmer in Falls, later near Bordentown, New Jersey, and for several years engaged in the lumber business with his brothers Joseph C. and David Taylor at Morris- ville. He was one of the prominent busi- ness men of that community, a director of First National Bank of Trenton, the Bucks County Contributionship and the Trenton Bridge Company. 2.

He was a trustee of the old Mennonite congregation, but in the division of 1847 cast his lot with the new church and was one of the leading spirits in the founding and building of the New Men- nonite church at Deep Run, and was one of its first ministers, serving in that capac- ity for about four years. In 1854 he re- moved to Sussex county, New Jersey, where he had purchased a mill property the autumn preceding, and which he con- ducted for three years, and then moved to a farm in Warren county, New Jersey. After a few years of retired life in New- ton, New Jersey, he removed to Stillwater and engaged in mercantile business. In 1882 he returned to the farm in Warren county, and died there the following July.
