BUTLER, NOBLE, son of John Butler, of Philadelphia, came to Cliester County, and married, 8, 18, 1727, Rachel Jones, of Goshen. A few years later they settled in Uwch- lan township, and were members of Uwchlan Meeting, of which they were both overseers. In 1758, Noble fell under the censure of his friends for discounting notes at a higher percentage than they could approve. A committee appointed in the case reported that the complainant " had a bad bargain, but it was of his own seeking," yet as Noble declared he would do the like again if opportunities pre- sented, he was disowned. He died about the year 1801. His children, so far as known, were,-1. John, m. 6, 5, 1760, to Elizabeth Samuel, of Radnor. 2. Enoch, m. 5, 29, 1755, Deborah Swayne. 3. Bathsheba, m. John Mc- Owen, or McCowan, and removed .to Shcarman's Valley.

4. Williamn, b. 4, 12, 1738; d. 3, 13, 1821; m. 4, 20, 1762, Jane Woodward, daughter of James and Ann (Pyle) Woodward, of West Bradford, b. 8, 3, 1739 ; d. 7, 1, 1814 .. 5. Benjamin. 6. Noble, m. to Susanna, daughter of William Beale, and said to have gone to Kentucky.

The children of William and Jane Butler were Samuel, James, Amos, Ann, Rachel, Sarah, and William.

James, born 7, 5, 1767 ; died 6, 27, 1837 ; married, 11, 19, 1812, Mary Phipps, daughter of Jonathan and Mary Phipps, of Uwchlan, by whom he had children, -Jonathan P., Joseph, William, now judge of the United States Dis- trict Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Samuel, now State treasurer, and James.

SAMUEL BUTLER, b. 2, 1, 1825, was raised on a farm, attended the public schools, and afterwards the Unionville Academy, over which that celebrated educator, Jonathan Gause, so long presided. He subsequently taught school eight years in this, Berks, and Butler Counties, and then resumed farming. His farm is a part of the old Phipps homestead and purchase. In 1876 he was elected to the Lower House of the Legislature, re-elected in 1878, and in 1879 was unani- mously nominated by the State Republican Convention for State treasurer, and at the October election elected by 58,000 majority,-the largest given to any candidate of his party on the State ticket since war times.

He was married in 1849 to Margaretta P. Woodward, from which union three children have blessed them,-Anna, Thomas S., and Henry J.

CANE, JOHN, and wife Ann, from the county of Armagh, Ireland, were among the early settlers of Londongrove, but John did not long enjoy his new home. His widow is supposed to have married a person by the name of Todd. John Cane's certificate, from Friends of Bellyhagan, was presented to Newark Monthly Meeting 10, 5, 1713.

John Cane, son of John, deceased, married, 9, 7, 1722, Rachel Malin, daughter of Randall and Mary, of Upper Providence. Ann Cane, his sister, married James Miller in 1722.

Margaret Cane married John Todd in 1720, and Robert Cane married Ann Dixson in 1730, both probably children of John and Ann.

CALDWELL, VINCENT, came from Derbyshire, Eng- land, about the year 1699, and brought a certificate to Darby Monthly Meeting, of which, for a time, he was a member. Though a young, unmarried man, he was a preacher of some note, and during his sojourn at Darby made a religious visit to Maryland with the approbation of the meeting. In 1703 he was married to Betty. Peirce, daughter of George Peirce, of Thornbury, and soon after settled in Marlbor- ough, Chester Co., where he died in 1720, aged forty-five years. He continued to be an approved minister till his death. His wife did not marry again, though she survived him thirty-seven years, having removed to Wilmington a short time before her death, which happened in 1757, in the seventy-seventh. year of her age. She lived an ex- emplary life, attending strictly to her religious duties, and towards its close appeared in the ministry. They had five daughters, viz. : Ann ; Betty, m. to Joel Baily, Jr., 1724; Mary, m. to Joseph Gilpin, 1729; Hannah, b. 12, 12, 1711, m. to John Marshall, 1733; Ruth, m. to George

Gilpin, 1737. From these have descended a numerous offspring.

CALVERT, WILLIAM, of Quaker parentage, came from Carlisle, in Cumberland, some time prior to 1759, and was for two or three years a member of Kennet Monthly Meeting, whence he removed to Philadelphia.

CARLETON, MARK, and family came from Ireland bringing a certificate from Friends of Mountmellick, dated 4,3, 1711. In 1713 his widow, Susannah, married Richard Parks, who settled in Goshen.

Thomas Carleton, son of Mark and Susanna, was born at Ballyhakin, near Edenderry, 9, 18, 1699, and in 1720 settled in Kennet, Chester Co., where he married, 3, 20, 1730, Hannah Roberts, widow of Robert, and daughter of William Howell, of Haverford. She was born 5, 17, 1689, and died 5, 6, 1758. Thomas died 9, 30, 1792. He and his wife were active members of Kennet Meeting, and both ministers. Their children were Susanna, who married Michael Harlan, and Thomas, born 8, 21, 1732, died 6, 26, 1803, who married, 10, 26, 1757, Lydia Gregg, daughter of Thomas and Dinah. They had children,- Hannalı (married William Passmore), Dinah, Martha, Mark, Sarah, Samuel, Thomas, Lydia (married Abner Mendenhall), Thomas, and Caleb.

CARLILE, WILLIAM, came from Ireland about 1763 or 1764, when his son William was eight years old, and settled on 310 acres, now at Lincoln University Station, the residence being that of Henry Cope. He married a second wife, the daughter of John Meas, and had a son, John Meas Carlile, who lived on Elk Creek, on land in- herited by his mother. William, Sr., died Jan. 16, 1801, aged 85, and was buried at New London Church.

William, Jr., entered the army at seventeen, and served in the campaign in New Jersey, at the battle of Trenton, etc. He married Mary, daughter of Col. Taylor, and set- tled on his father's farm, where he died, April 11, 1840, in his 85th year, and his widow, Sept. 2, 1846, at the same age.

Their children were Elizabeth, who married David Car- lile; Alice, married Gibson Creswell, who bought the homestead; Jane, married Charles Wilson; John, born Jan. 10, 1787, died Nov. 24, 1861, married Hannah Steele; William, unmarried.

John Carlile served in the war of 1812. His wife, Hannah, daughter of John and Ann Steele, of New Lon- don, died Jan. 23, 1832, and he married twice afterwards. His son, John S. Carlile, of Avondale, with his partners, James Watson and William Miller, are manufacturers of agricultural and other machinery.

CARMICHAEL, REV. JOHN, was born in Argyleshire, Scotland, Oct. 17, 1728. His parents were Donald and Elizabeth Carmichael, who emigrated to this country in 1737, and settled near Newark, N. J. John was gradu- ated at Princeton College in 1759, and was licensed in May of the following year. In April, 1761, he was installed as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of the " Forks of Brandywine," known in common parlance as Brandywine Manor. He was an earnest, uncompromising friend of American liberty. Some time before the Revolution he devoted his pen, in a series of articles published in the

papers, calling upon the people, while they should maintain fidelity to their king, to stoutly resist oppression by the English government. In 1775, one year before the Dec- laration of Independence by Congress, at the request of the militia of the town of Lancaster (Capt. Ross' company), he preached a sermon to them against the tyranny and usurpation of the crown of Great Britain. He succeeded in instilling the principles of patriotism into the minds of the people to whom he ministered to such an extent that when they were called upon to serve their country not a man of them hesitated or faltered. When Congress con- vened in Philadelphia he visited the members personally, urging them to action. As the war went on his activity in the cause was incessant. He and Rev. Robert Smith, of Pequea, were with the army at the battle of Brook- lyn ; and when it lay at Valley Forge he literally stripped his house in supplying ils needs. On one such visit, learning from Gen. Washington that they were greatly in need of linen with which to dress the wounds of the sol- diers, he returned home and stated the fact to the people of his charge, observing to the women, "Now, each of you can spare so much linen," measuring off on his arm. In a day or so a large number of small packages of linen were brought to his house, with which he filled two bags, and, mounting his horse, conveyed them to the camp. The timely supply was followed by a letter of grateful thanks from the commander-in-chief. At length the British set a price on his head, and when their army occupied Philadel- phia many attempts were made to take him, which failed, his faithful people keeping scouts out all the time to warn him of danger. In his family Bible is found this entry :

"On the 18th of October, 1777, was horn to me a son. Since it pleased the great God of Previdence to ordain he should be boro the very day and heur that Gen. Burgoyne and his whole army had to come forth and ground their arms and resign themselves prisoners ef war; as Gen. Gates was the instrument in the hands of a kind and Divine Provideace to effect this deliverance; end as our great, judi- ciens Commander-in-Chief, General Washington, still continues to persevere amidst many difficulties te head the American army, I thought it my duty, as a memorial of these events, to call my son Washington Gates Carmichael."

This son entered the United States army at an early age, and fell a victim to yellow fever at Fort St. Philip .* John Carmichael was thrice married, the last time, in 1775, to a daughter of Samuel Blair, of Fagg's Manor. She was the . mother of Washington Gates, above mentioned.

John Carmichael was an eloquent man and a laborious, faithful minister,-one of the noble band of pioneer cler- gymen of Pennsylvania, whose missionary excursions to preach and baptize often extended fifty or more miles: On one of these excursions, as shown by an entry in his jour- nal, he baptized children of Mr. Bayard, of the well-known Bayard family, then living in Maryland, near the borders of Pennsylvania. He died Nov. 15, 1785. His will, which is on record in the register's office of Chester County, contains a synopsis of the doctrines and polity of the Pres-

byterian Church, as given in her standards, and an expres- sion of his belief in them. It is a curious document.

DR. JOHN FLAVEL CARMICHAEL was a son of Rev. John Carmichael, and was born at Brandywine Manor, Oct. 14, 1764. After graduating at Philadelphia, he entered the army in 1789 as surgeon's mate. In 1790 he followed the fortunes of Gen. Harmar to the West, and was with him during his campaign. In 1791 he was at the defeat of Gen. St. Clair, where he barely escaped with his life. In- defatigable in the discharge of duty, we find him till 1793 braving all the vicissitudes of Indian warfare, when he was commissioned as surgeon in Gen. Wayne's army, or legion, as it was called, where he remained until the death of that brave officer. In 1798 he was ordered to the South, under Gen. Wilkinson, where, after undergoing many privations, hardships, and dangers, he finally settled. It is a remark- able fact that he enjoyed the private confidence of each of the generals under whom he acted, and from the correctness of his judgment and his firm decision of character, he was frequently called upon to perform most important service, which invariably redounded to the benefit of the army. In the performance of one of these duties he received an honor- able wound, which he carried to his grave.

After leaving the army he settled at Cold Spring, Miss., where he practiced his profession, and where he owned and managed a cotton plantation. At the time he settled there the mass of the people of that region were Spanish and French adventurers of the worst class. Over these he ex- erted a controlling influence by his position and unflinch- ing courage and his dignity of character, and the whole country there was deeply indebted to him for bringing the population under the control of law and morality, and giving a tone to society. He also, by his scientific knowl- edge, brought to greater perfection the cotton-planting in- terest.

The inscription on his tomb thus truthfully portrays his character :

" This monument covers the remains of John Flavel Carmichael, M.D., who was born in Brandywine Manor, Chester county, Pena., October 14, 1764, of Scottish and Puritan ancestors, and died in Mis- sissippi, October 21, 1837. As a physician he was eminently skillful, as a soldier he shared in the arduous campaigns of Harmar, St. Clair, and Wayne against the Indians of the Ohio, and served as Surgeon in the American army for 17 years, with honor, patriotism, and courage. As a man he was honored and wept."

CARPENTER, WILLIAM, from England, married Margaret, widow of Nathaniel Richards, of New Garden, and daughter of Allen Wiley. In 1746 he purchased 174 acres in that township, which he devised to his son John, and dicd early in the year 1748. His children were John, Thomas, Sarah, married to Michael Gregg, 12, 11, 1755, and Albina.

John Carpenter, married at Kennet Meeting, 5, 2, 1759, Hannah Walter, daughter of Joseph and Jane, of Kennet, born 8, 30, 1741 ; died 5, 15, 1800. John died 3, 1, 1810, aged 76. His children were as follows : 1. William, b. 10, 10, 1761 ; d. 7, 31, 1797; m. Rachel Carter. 2. Joseph, b 1, 30, 1763; d. 10, 1, 1820; m. Rebecca Powell. 3. Albina, b. 12, 29, 1765; m. Jesse Morgan. 4. Hannah, b. 1, 4, 1768; m. John Jefferis. 5. Phebe, b. 1770; m. Dr. Abraham Baily. 6. Janc, b. 11, 24,

1772; m. William Webb. 7. Margaret, b. 1, 9, 1775; m. Joshua Powell. 8. John, b. 2, 10, 1777. 9. Isaac, b. 5, 5, 1779 ; d. 7, 23, 1833; m. Hannah Beaumont. 10. Rachel, b. 12, 3, 1782; m. Dr. Abraham Baily. 11. Cyrus, b. 8, 12, 1785 ; d. 11, 26, 1864 ; m. Sarah Worth- ington.

Thomas Carpenter married Esther, daughter of Francis Trumble. He died 2, 1, 1815, aged 76, and she 8, 15, 1813, aged 73 years.

Francis Carpenter, their son, born 2, 25, 1771, died 10, 6, 1857, married, 10, 15, 1795, Sarah Baily, who was born 10, 30, 1768, and died 5, 12, 1834, daughter of John and Hannah Baily, of Newlin. They resided in West Brad- ford, and had children,-Esther, Thomas, Sarah, Francis T., Edwin, Moses S., Albina B., and Hannah, who married John Worth, of East Bradford.

CARTER, EDWARD, of Aston, in the parish of Bamp- ton, Oxfordshire, England, came to Pennsylvania in 1682, and settled in Aston township, Chester Co. The name of his wife was Margaret, and they had an only son, Robert, who married Lydia Walley in 1688, and had children,- Prudence, b. 11, 6, 1689, m. Caleb Pusey, Jr., of Marl- borough ; Joho, b. 4, 8, 1691, d. 2, 21, 1693 ; Hannah, b. 12, 22, 1692, m. Stephen Harlan ; Lydia, m. Joseph Coe- bourn, Jr., 3, 22, 1718; John, m. 1716 to Isabell Atkin- son ; Edward; Mary, m. to Thomas Harlan in 1720.

GEORGE CARTER, " late of Bucklebury, in Berkshire, England," purchased a farm in 1714 on the Brandywine, at what was afterwards called Jefferis' Ford, where he died about the close of the year 1726. The maiden name of his wife, according to tradition, was Elizabeth Tull. She married a second husband, James Jefferis, March 3, 1728. The children of George Carter were five in number,- Anna, m. William Mack ; George, m. Lydia Worth ; Ra- chel, b. 1719, m. Abraham Marshall and Richard Baker ; Elizabeth, m. Samuel Worth ; John, b. 11, 26, 1723, d. 6, 14, 1770, m. Hannah Cope, 2, 10, 1746.

George Carter, Jr., inherited the " upper plantation," of 260 acres, in East Bradford. He married, 4, 19, 1744, Lydia, danghter of Thomas Worth, his next neighbor ; she was born 9, 22, 1721, and dicd 6, 20, 1780. George was buried 6, 23, 1783. His children were,-1. Thomas, b. 6, · 23, 1745. 2. George, b. 8, 21, 1747 ; d. 9, 3, 1813. 3. Jo- scph, b. 10, 5, 1749. 4. Mary, b. 6, 21, 1753. 5. Eliza- betli, b. 2, 5, 1756. 6. Lydia, b. 9, 24, 1758; m. Isaac Davis. 7. Rachel, b. 6, 3, 1761 ; m. William Carpenter. 8. Rebecca, b. 4, 23, 1764.

Of these George inherited the homestead, upon which he continued to reside. His wife, Ruth, daughter of George and Martha Martin, was born 1, 28, 1757, and died 10, 19, 1843. Their children were Margaret, Emmor, Lydia, George, Joseph (married to Minerva Webb), Martha, Rebecca, and Ruth (married to Milton Marshall).

The land was divided between the three sons, but is now owned by the Worth family.

CHADS, FRANCIS (Chadsey, as the name was often written, or Chadsi, as he appears to have signed himself in 1688), doubtless came from Wiltshire, England, and settled in Chichester in 1684. The name of his first wife is be- licved to have been Hester, but it is not known that she left

children. In 1695 he married Grace, daughter of Francis Stanfield, of Marple, and probably settled soon after ou the Brandywine, at the ford which bears the family name. There he built a mill, perhaps in 1707, as there was difficulty be- tween him and his neighbors at that time, presumably about the dam or water-right. The mill was there in 1710, but it appears in after-years to have gone down and the site was forgotten. When the foundations of the present mill were dug some timbers were found which were pronounced to be a part of the old structure.

Francis Chads died about 1713, and his widow married, 7, 16, 1714, Gayen Stevenson. Their children were Sarah, m. Feb. 12, 1714, Mordecai Cloud; John ; Grace, m. Thomas Clayton, 1724; Betty, m. William Pyle; Ano, m. - Peterson ; Francis, who died young or unmarried.

John Chads married, 8, 2, 1729, Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac and Catharine Richardson, of Whiteland, and prob- ably built the old stone house at the north end of the vil- lage of Chads' Ford. In 1736 he established a ferry on the creek, and brought in a bill of £30 to the commission- ers in the following year for building a " fflatt or Schowe." From the items in this and later bills it appears that a large cable-rope was stretched across the creek, and a windlass used to pull the boat back and forth. In 1760, just before his death, John Chads brought in a bill for rebuilding the boat, and among other items charges " for wood to burn ye old boat and ye trouble of ditto, £1." He died in the 10th or 11th month, 1760, leaving no children, but dividing his property among his relatives, of whom Joseph Davis, who married his niece, Hannah Cloud, appears to have been the favorite. He was licensed to keep a tavern in connection with the ferry in September, 1736, and continued in the business a few years, but in 1746 he was succeeded by his brother-in-law, James House, and though he continued to own the property he did not keep the tavern. Amnos Har- vey followed House in 1752, and Henry Hayes came next in 1757.

His widow continued to reside in the old stone house, to which were attached 40 acres of land separate from the tavern, and at the time of the Revolution her nephew, Amos House, lived with her and farmed the land. She died about 1791.

This name is generally and incorrectly written Chadds, but the signature of John Chads shows the latter spelling to be correct.

CHALFANT, JOHN, obtained a warrant, 10, 22, 1701, for 250 acres of land in Rockland Manor, where he had set- tled two years previously. This was in what is now the lower part of Birmingham. He died in August, 1725, leaving sons, John and Robert. John, Jr., died about 1730, leaving sons, John, Solomon, and Robert, who ap- pear to have been then grown up.

The children of Robert, Sr., were Mary, b. Nov. 26, 1713, m. to - Shields; Elizabeth, b. Dec. 29, 1715, m. - Barnet ; Robert, b. Aug. 28, 1718, died young ; Thomas, b. Jan. 13, 1721, died young; Ruth, b. Oct. 15, 1723, m. to - Frame, ancestor of the late Robert Frame, of Birmingham ; Robert, b. Feb. 12, 1725 ; Thomas, b. March 2, 1729. The father died in 1767, leaving a widow, Martha.

Robert Chalfant, supposed a son of John, Jr., married first Ann Bentley, daughter of John and Mary Bentley, of Newlin, and settled on land in that township. A house, said to have been built in 1732, upon which were their initials, was torn down about 1864 by George Young, the present owner of the property. Ann (Bentley) Chalfant left children,-John, Mary (Bonnal), Jaue (Few), Aun (Ligget), Robert, and Elizabeth (Quay). The father mar- ried a second wife, Elizabeth, by whom he had children,- Jesse, Joseph, and Jonathan. He died in 1792.

Whether all of the name are descended from the John first mentioned is unknown. Of course there is the usual tradition of "three brothers" in this case.

HENRY CHALFANT, son of John, of West Marlborough, married, 8, 15, 1740, at Londongrove Meeting, Elizabeth Jackson, daughter of Thomas and Aun, and had children, -- 1. Jonathan, b. 4, 8, 1743; m. Ann Barnard, 12, 24, 1777. 2. Thomas, b. 11, 20, 1745-6; m. Phebe Hayes, 4, 5, 1775. 3. Henry, b. 5, 1, 1748; m. Susanna Swayne, 5, 17, 1775. 4. Ann, b. 12, 12, 1750-1. Elizabeth, b. 2, 2, 1754; m. Joseph Dickinson. 6. Jacob, b. 1, 11, 1758; m. - Barnard and McCorkle. 7. Mary, b. 8, 8, 1760. 8. Abner, b. 11, 16, 1762. 9. Caleb, b. 2, 7, 1766 ; m. Mary Dickinson, 5, 25, 1796.

DAVID CHALFANT, of Pennsbury, son of Thomas, mar- ried, 10, 30, 1783, Frances Dowdall, daughter of John and Mary, of Marlborough. They had one son, Goodwin Chal- fant, born 9, 8, 1788, who married Hannah Windle, 10, 14, 1812, and resided in East Marlborough. Their children were David W., deceased ; William, living near Unionville ; Sidney, m. to Edwin James, of East Bradford ; Jane, m. to Joseph Dowdall, of New Garden ; Lydia, m. to Thomas F. Seal, of Unionville.

David Chalfant, the grandfather, died 10, 3, 1832, aged 72 years, 2 months, 16 days ; and his widow, 7, 4, 1840, aged 85 years, 8 months, 13 days.

WILLIAM CHALFANT married Esther Baker, daughter of Aaron and Mary, of West Marlborough, and had ten children,-Mary, Martha, Esther, Aaron, Phebe, Alice, William, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Susan,-all of whom were married, and several of them went West. Aaron bought a farm in Londonderry in 1796, where he died, Aug. 29, 1808. His wife was a daughter of John Wilson, who married a Todd. William Chalfant, son of Aaron, born in April, 1798, is now living at or near Chesterville, in Frank- lin township.

CHAMBERLIN, ROBERT, of Concord, was the son of Elizabeth, wife of Francis Hickman, by a former husband, and was doubtless born in the neighborhood of Marlbor- ough, in Wiltshire, England. Some of Elizabeth's chil- dren came to this country in advance of their mother. The latter, in her will, 1698, mentions her sons-in-law, Richard Ridgway, Richard Arnold, and Charles Jones, who must have married Chamberlins.

Robert and Mary Chamberlin had the following chil- dren : 1. Susanna, b. 7, 13, 1691 ; m. John Pyle. 2. John, b. 10, 1, 1692. 3. Robert, b. 8, 17, 1694. 4. Mary, b. 10, 21, 1698 ; m. Daniel Pyle. 5. Jacob, b. 2, 30, 1702. 6. Joseph.
