Like the Tennants, Blair, Smith, and others, he erected a log building near to his dwelling, in which he educated a number of young men, some of whom became eminent ministers. Partly through his influence an academy was established at Canonsburg in 1792. This became the nucleus of Jefferson College, of which he was a leading founder and a steady and faithful friend.

He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Jef- ferson College in 1807, and died Nov. 16, 1833, at the age of eighty-one years. His remains were interred in the Chartiers graveyard. He was a man of distinguished talents, an able and zealous divine, and a skillful instructor.

Both he and Dr. Power lived to see the wilderness in which they settled highly cultivated and populous, and their pupils men of education, learning, and usefulness.

MONEIL, REV. WILLIAM R .- Among the Scotch-Irish emigrants to America in the opening of the eighteenth century were the McNiels, a descendant of whom, Andrew McNiel, married Margery Young, of the same extraction and religious faith. He lived to be about ninety-one years of age, and was a member for near seventy years of Fagg's Manor Presbyterian Church. Their son William married Margaret Hopple, to whom were born eight sons and two daughters ; of these, the sixth son and child was William R., born in Upper Oxford township, March 5, 1837. He spent his boyhood days on the farm; was educated in the public schools, and later attended the university at Lewisburg, and there, in the theological department, was graduated Aug. 1, 1861. He was ordained in Philadelphia pastor of the Baptist Church of Falls of Schuylkill, Sept. 10, 1861, where he remained one year. The three follow- ing years he had charge of the First Baptist Church of Williamsport, Pa. This was during the Rebellion, and he served three months as chaplain of the 37th Pennsylvania Regiment, in the raising of which he was most active. He was widely known as a stanch Union man, and his voice was frequently heard in behalf of his endangered land. For the next year he was district secretary of the American Baptist Missionary Union, with his residence in Philadel- phia, and the year succeeding served as district secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. He then accepted a call to the pastorship of Pearl Street Baptist Church, of Bridgeton, N. J., where he remained five years and nine months, his stay and his labors there being especially interesting to him and profitable to the church. He was appointed by the board of the Baptist American Missionary Union a missionary to Burmah, but owing to deaths in his wife's family and his own ill health he was forced to decline. Soon after, upon the invitation of Samuel A. Crozer, he took charge of a mission established by that gentleman in South Chester, Delaware Co., and during his four years' stay there the church was successfully organized. In 1875 be removed to Penn township, and for a year and a half preached for Berean Baptist Church of West Chester, after which he was called to the Beulah Church, in Russellville (where he was converted and with which he had united long years before), a church which was organized sixty years prior in his grandfather Jacob Hopple's house.

He married, March 11, 1862, Sarah W., daughter of Joseph and Mary Lee, of Wilmington, Del., by whom he has had two children,-Andrew Gregg Tucker and Mary. He delivered the first alumni oration at the Crozer Theo- logical Seminary,-an effort highly commended by those who heard it. His nineteen years in the ministry have been most successful in the cause of humanity and of his Maker. In 1871 he purchased some seventy-five acres of land near Penn Station, in Penn township, known as the

He has ever been deeply interested in all affairs pertaining to the welfare of State, church, and society, and by his able voice and affable address has largely contributed to the advancement of their best interests. In Chester and Delaware Counties he has served on the school boards, and was often president of the same.

MACKEY, JOHN, the son of Robert Mackey, a lieuten- ant in the provincial forces of 1747-8, was a native of Chester County and a representative farmer thereof.

The March family is of Ger- man origin, although there are English and Irish families of the same name. Frederick March, who settled in Freder- ick township, Montgomery Co., Pa., is supposed to have been the first of the name in this State. He had several sons. One of them, Frederick, Jr., emigrated to Chester County, and resided at the time of his death in East Vincent township. Michael March, the father of the sub- ject of this sketch, was born July 24, 1803. He was mar- ried to Susanna, daughter of Henry Chrisman, also of East Vincent township. Franklin March was born July 14, 1836, in the house new occu- pied by Gilbert Brower, near his present residence in Law- renceville, East Coventry town- ship, Chester Co. He lived and worked on his father's farm until about sixteen years old, receiving the usual educa- tien afforded by the public schools, when he was sent to Washington Hall Boarding- School, Trappe, Montgomery Co., Pa., for one session. He was then sent to learn the printing business in the office of The Montgomery Ledger, Pottstown. After leaving there he attended several sessions of

school at Freeland (now Ur- sinus College) and at Millers- ville Normal School, this State. He then began the study of law at the National Law School, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He fin- ished his studies in the office of Hon. A. B. Longaker, Nor- ristown, where, on Aug. 31, 1861, he was admitted to the bar. In the spring of 1862 he was elected the first Republican burgess of Norristown, over the Hon. G. W. Royer, a popu- lar Democratic lawyer of that borough. In 1866, having be- come interested in the iron business at Limerick Statien, Reading Railroad, he moved to Lawrenceville, Chester Co., where he now resides. Ex- Governor John F. Hartranft read law in Judge Longaker's office at the same time (al- though a much older man). Mr. March took great interest in his election, and made earn- est speeches in his behalf when running for Governor. Mr. March is a staunch Repub- lican, and is a fluent and popu- lar stump-speaker. He has a large law practice at the Mont- gomery County bar, and is a good lawyer. He is a gentle- man of studious habits, inflex- ible integrity, and is highly esteemed for his pure record and ability.

boyhood on a farm, and re ceived the usual educationa advantages afforded by the country schools. He has a fin farm of one hundred acres, be sides other properties in this county and Philadelphia. Har served as school director, and has been treasurer of the town- ship since the creation of the office. He belongs to the So- ciety of Friends and attends the " Old Sadsbury meeting- house." The old deeds and plat show his homestead farm to have been in the Moore family since about 1786, and there has never been a vendue or a mortgage upon it, nor a judgment against it. His house was built in 1800, and on the farm are the ruins of an old mill erected nearly two hun- dred years ago. He is a prac- tical farmer, and raises some tobacco. His post-office is At- glen, on the Pennsylvania Railway. His brother Samuel, who died in New London town- ship about a year ago, left an estate of nearly two hundred thousand dollars, including some eight fine farms. The Moore family were Irish Friends, and their descendants. in this and neighboring coun-' ties are quite numerous and well known for their thrift and intelligence.

WILLIAM MOORE.

William Moore, of East Brandywine township, has in his possession a deed from Patrick Lockhart to his ma- ternal grandfather, Andrew Elliott, for one hundred and seven acres, dated June 25, 1741, and the land thus con- veyed is now a part of his real estate. He was born June 28, 1802, on the farm on which he now resides, and was the son of William Moore, who served seven campaigns in the Revolutionary war, and was afterwards in the celebrated " Whisky Rebel- lion" in this State, and who drew a pension for his ser- vices to his country in Conti- nental times. The subject of this sketch received the ordi- nary education afforded coun- try boys in his youth. He began driving cattle when about seventeen years of age, and continued that business some fifty years in thirteen different States. He was en- gaged in driving, buying, and selling cattle in the fall and horses in the spring. Some

110

eight years ago he retired from the cattle trade, in which no man in the county had ever been more largely en- gaged. He was married in January, 1829, to Lydia Michener, by which marriage eight children were born : David Moore, Presbyterian clergyman, at McVeytown, Mifflin Co .; William Pen- rose ; Martha, married to Andrew E.

BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL.

MARIS .- George and Alice Maris, of Worcestershire, England, had the following children : Alice, b. 8, 17, 1660 ; George, b. 10, 2, 1662; Elizabeth, b. 2, 3, 1665; Anna, b. 6, 18, 1667 ; John, b. 3, 21, 1669.

In the account of persecutions of Quakers in Worcester- shire, 1670, we find the following :

" At Grafton-Flyford some soldiers of the Band called the Clergy- Band eame to a Meeting at the Ilouse of George Maris, and informed against several persons there, against whom a Warrant was issued by John Paokington, of Westwood, and Samuel Sands, of Ambersley, Justices, by which were taken the several Quantities of Goods follow- ing, viz. : From Francis Fincher, all his Goods for a Fine of £20. From George Maris, Goods worth £20. And from William Sale and John Tombs, to the value of £1 148.

"The said George Maris's Fine was for the Meeting being at his House. He was afterward taken by an Assize Process, and sent to Prison on the 23d of the Month called July, 1670, and continued there above eight Months, but never knew for what Cause he was so long imprisoned."

George Maris brought a certificate dated 3d mo. 6, 1683, from a meeting " att Hadswell In ye pish of Inkborough and county of Worcester," which he presented to Darby Monthly Meeting, and which says that his

"Life and Conversation hath Adorned the Gospell of Christ, And hath bene A Good Exampel In his place, And a man, Je bent of whose heart hath beene to serve ye Lord, And all people In Love ; And hath not spared to spend and to be spent for ye service of Truth : And this wee can say, wee doe not know of Any person, either ffriend or others That bath aught against him, his wife or children, upon any Just Account whatsoever."

Robert Toomer, of the city of Worcester, having pur- chased 1000 acres of land from William Penn, conveyed it by deed of May 14, 1683, to George Maris, of Grafton Flyford, shoemaker, the land being unlocated. Soon after his arrival he took up 400 acres in Springfield, which he called " Home House," and settled thereon. This was sur- veyed Oct. 16, 1683, adjoining Darby township, and in the following year he took up 580 acres in Edgmont, as part of the 1000 acres. In 1684 he was commissioned a justice of the peace and of the courts; was a member of the Provincial Council, 1695; member of Assembly for several years, and an active and influential member of Springfield Meeting.

MARSH, REV. WILLIAM H. H., was born in West Nantmeal (now Wallace) township, Chester Co., 'in July, 1836. His mother was a daughter of Henry Buckwalter, of that township.

Mr. Marsh is a clergyman of the Baptist Church, and is now (1881) pastor of the Remsen Avenue Baptist Church, of New Brunswick, N. J.

He is also the author of " The Modern Sunday-School," published by the American Baptist Publication Society, and has a work now in the hands of the publication committee of that society on the "Two Theories of the Visible Church." These works would have been included in the article on the bibliography of the county, but a knowledge of them was not received in time.

MARSHALL, ABRAHAM, was born (1669) at Gratton, in Derbyshire, England, of parents belonging to the Epis- copal Church, but when about sixteen years of age he be- came a member of the Society of Friends, in which he was afterwards a highly-esteemed minister.
