Anna, the mother, was born 8, 25, 1686, and died in August, 1760. She married a second husband, Samuel Nutt, of Coventry, who established iron-works in Chester County. He died near the close of 1737.

Samuel Savage, Jr., married Ann Taylor, daughter of Isaac and Martha Taylor, of Thornbury. By indenture of May 5, 1740, his mother conveyed to him To of 2'4 of the iron ore on 250 acres on French Creek, his sister, Rebecca Nutt, being owner of the land and of 25 of the ore.

SEEDS .- Edward Seed married Abigail, daughter of Richard Buffington, of East Bradford. He died in 1754, and his widow married David Fling, a weaver. She died April, 1813, in her ninety-second year. The children of Edward and Abigail were Abigail; Adam, m. to Alice White, 8, 2, 1770; Richard; George, died Nov. 25, 1836, aged eighty-six ; James; Mary, b. May 13, 1754, d. July 15, 1832, m.

SELLERS, SAMUEL, of Darby, and Anna Gibbons were married in 1684, and had several children. Their son Samuel, born 3, 12, 1690, married, in 1712, Sarah

Smith, and his son, the third Samuel, born 5, 20, 1715, died 12, 31, 1785, m. 7, 28, 1737, Jane Wood, daughter of George and Hannah, of Darby. She was born 9, 5, 1716, and died 3, 5, 1790. They removed from Darby to West Bradford, now Pocopson, soon after marriage. Their children were Hannah, m. Isaac Peirce; Sarah, m. Abel Wickersham ; Samuel, m. Mary Taylor ; Mary, m. James Trimble; Ann, m. John Taylor ; Jonathan, m. Deborah Taylor.

JOHN SELLERS was born in Darby, Chester (now Dela- ware) Co., 7th mo. 19, 1728. His grandfather, Samuel Sellers, came from Derbyshire, England, in one of the ves- sels that came with William Penn, took up 100 acres of land in Darby, and followed his trade of weaving. His marriage is said to have been the first among the Friends in Darby. His father, also named Samuel, was born and lived on the same premises, followed the same trade of weaving, and was somewhat noted for his mechanical inge- nuity. He erected the first twisting-mill, it is believed, in Pennsylvania (a complex machine for twisting worsted), and became famous for coverlet and camlet weaving. Samuel died in 1773, in his eighty-third year.

John, the subject of this notice, was the youngest son. He was likewise a weaver. In early life he manifested a more enterprising disposition than his father had done. After receiving very little schooling (as was usual at that day), he acquired by his application to books a knowledge of surveying, which he began early to practice, and became eminent in the county as a land-surveyor. His mechanical .ingenuity was early manifested by his construction of wire rolling-screens and sieves for cleaning wheat, flax-seed, etc., he being the first, it is believed, who made them in America. He discontinued the common weaving soon after he began the wire-weaving business, which latter he followed, to- gether with Dutch fan-making, until the commencement of the Revolutionary war. The ingenions art of weaving wire seems to have been inherited by his descendants. His en- terprise was manifested in the improvement of his paternal and purchased estate, in discovering sites for mills, erecting the first on a small scale proportioned to his means, then altering and improving as means were increased. In the course of his life he dug on his own estate about three miles in length of mill-race, and erected six mill-dams. He was several times (viz., from 1767 to 1771, inclusive) elected a member of the Provincial Assembly for the county of Chester. Some time before the commencement of the Revolutionary war he was appointed by the Gov- ernor and Council one of the surveyors to run a straight line from the middle ferry on Schuylkill to Lancaster, pre- paratory to laying out the Strasburg road, and by the same authority, in 1773, one of the commissioners for laying out said road. He was likewise appointed one of the commis- sioners, or engineers, to examine and ascertain, by survey- ing and leveling, whether a navigable canal (such as the present Union Canal) would be practicable between the waters of the Susquehanna and the Schuylkill. When the proprietary government was abolished and a new form es- tablished, he was chosen a representative for the county of Chester in the first legislative body that met under the new form of government, but declined to serve. He was always

of opinion that it would not answer well to vest the whole power of legislation in a single house. In 1768 he was chosen a member of the American Philosophical Society. Iu 1789 he was elected by Delaware County a member of the Convention that modified the constitution of 1776, and in the following year he was elected to the State Senate from that county. He was also one of the surveyors who ran the division line between Chester County and the then new county of Delaware.

While Thomas Mifflin was Governor he was appointed an associate judge of the County Court, but declined to serve. He was born and lived on the same spot where his grandfather had settled, and where his father had lived and died, and there he died, on the second day of the second month, 1804, in the seventy-sixth year of his age.

SCOTT, ABRAHAM, of West Nottingham, died in 1749, leaving sons Abraham, Hugh, Josias, Samuel, and Thomas.

THOMAS SCOTT died in 1757, leaving children,-Philip, Thomas, Rebecca, who married Charles Ramsey in 1776, and perhaps others. James Scott, a son or grandson of Thomas, lived on the east side of Big Elk, at what is known as Tweedville. He was killed by a fall from a tree in 1812, leaving three or four daughters, and sons Thomas, James, and Philip, who lived for several years at the homestead. Thomas now lives at Lewisville, and has been an active local politician. Philip Scott, son of the first Thomas, above named, was a justice of the peace, and known as Squire Scott. He lived between Hickory Hill and Oxford, and died at the age of eighty-four years.

JOHN SCOTT, Esq., lived in New London in 1756, and was probably a son-in-law of Robert Hodgson.

SHARP, JOSEPH W .- In 1857, about the time the Pennsylvania Central Railway began to put local trains on its road, Mr. Sharp built his elegant residence. It was one of the first handsome residences erected in this county on this road. The facilities in the past twenty years afforded by the railroads have enabled Philadelphians to come out, purchase lands, and construct valuable and beau- tiful edifices. In that period of time the habitations along the various net-work of railroads have largely changed, and instead of the old-style farm dwellings, uncouth and un- comfortable, large and elegant residences have been erected. Mr. Sharp's land has been in his family since 1839, when purchased by his father. It is situated in Easttown town- ship, about one mile south of Berwyn Station, seventeen miles from Philadelphia. Mr. Sharp, when he built his residence, was in business in Philadelphia. His farm of two hundred and thirty-five acres is located in a beautiful region of country, and his building improvements are fitting types of the social progress made in rural architecture in the last few years.

SHAFER, JOHN, of German descent, married Eliza- beth Merkle, by whom he had Samuel, b. March 30, 1790, d. April 26, 1856 ; John, b. Dec. 2, 1793; Henry, b. May 22, 1796, d. March 9, 1872; George, b. July 13, 1799 ; Juliann, b. Sept. 14, 1801; Catharine, b. Feb. 24, 1805.

Samuel Shafor, the eldest son, was born in Pottstown. He married, October, 1812, Martha McClintock, widow of James, and daughter of Col. Thomas and Ann (Hunter) Bull.

She was born Feb. 20, 1779, and died March 12, 1850. By her first marriage, Aug. 4, 1799, she had three children, -Thomas Bull, b. June 6, 1804, d. July 6, 1804; Sarah May, b. Sept. 16, 1805, d. Dec. 1, 1807 ; Ann Hunter, b. June 4, 1808, d. July 17, 1834. The last named was married Aug. 2, 1831, to Joseph Neide, Esq., being his first wife.

The children of Samuel and Rebecca Shafer were Re- becca, b. May, 1813; Elizabeth, b. Oct. 4, 1816, d. April 8, 1878; Sarah, b. Oct. 3, 1819, d. June 22, 1820 ; Mar- tha, b. Jan. 8, 1821, d. Feb. 23, 1821; Levi Bull, b. May 5, 1822, d. Feb. 18, 1824.

Rebecca Shafer married, Feb. 9, 1837, Joseph Neide, be- ing his second wife. Elizabeth married Addison May, Esq., and died in West Chester.

Samuel Shafer was commissioned an associate judge of this county March 8, 1849, and in 1851 was elected to the same office, and commissioned November 10th for the term of five years. He possessed the elements of a true man, and dis- charged the responsible duties of his station with singular pro- priety, discretion, and firmness. Sound and impartial in judg- ment, diligent in business, and most amiable in temper and disposition, he won universal regard, and secured the entire confidence of the community. In his intercourse with the members of the bar he was not only affable and courteous but kind and considerate, and was with them a universal favorite. It may be said of Judge Shafer, without dispar- agement to the other gentlemen who have occupied the same position, that no more honorable or noble-minded man ever adorned the bench.

WILLIAM T. SHAFER .- John Shafer, son of John and Elizabeth, of Pottstowo, married Martha Neilor. He went from Pottstown to Philadelphia, and was in a wholesale dry-goods store, and from thence, about 1822, went to the Ralston place and engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1829 he removed to West Pikeland. To John and Mar- tha (Neilor) Shafer were born seven children, of whom the second son and third child, William T., was born Feb. 17, 1825. He learned the carpenter's trade, and went to school under Joseph C. Strode, of East Bradford, and fitted him- self for a teacher. He was engaged in teaching several sessions. From 1829 to the present time the mercantile business at Shafer's stand has been in the Shafer family,- to 1849 by John, and since then conducted by William T. The latter clerked many years for his father, who, like himself, combined farming with store-keeping. William T. was married in 1865 to Mary E., daughter of Abel and Ann Evans, by whom he has one child, Martha. He was elected in 1858 to the Legislature, and re-elected in 1859 and 1860. He sat in the extra session in 1861, in which was passed the bill creating the Pennsylvania Reserves and putting the State on a war footing. He has frequently been school director and auditor in his township. He is a pronounced Republican, and has always been prominent in its councils, and very active in politics. At present his various business cares, with his charge of his mother's es- tato,-the family living in the common possession of the same, as in his father's lifetime,-absorbs his time and atten- tion. Samuel, eldest brother of William T., went in 1839 to Philadelphia, and into the same business, in the same

house, and under the same individual (Capt. Stevenson) that his father had been with long years before. Samuel afterwards became paying-teller in the Commercial Exchange Bank, and later chief book-keeper in the city treasurer's office. William T. has been honored with many positions, one of which was aide-de-camp to Governor James Pollock, with rank of lieutenant-colonel. He is a good citizen and a thorough business man, but at present meditates closing up the mercantile business which he and his father have carried on at one place for fifty-two years.

SHAFFER, THOMAS .- The Shaffer family emigrated from Germany prior to the Revolutionary war and settled in Westchester County, New York, in which State Thomas Shaffer was born May 22, 1815. His father and grandfather were both large manufacturers of paper, and the latter built a paper-mill in what is now known as the Five Points of New York City, and which during the Revolution was designated by Congress as one of the two mills to furnish the govern- ment with paper for printing the Continental currency. After peace was made the mill was removed to Spottswood, N. J., that place being selected on account of its excellent water-power,-then a wild tract of government land, but now immensely valuable. By a series of misfortunes, includ- ing the destruction of a will by interested parties, and the subsequent burning of the Capitol at Washington, which destroyed the records of the land department, during the British invasion of 1814, the rightful owners of the prop- erty have been defrauded and the true heirs dispossessed.

He was left an orphan at an early age, and had but spare educational advantages. Having to make his way in the world, his first employment was as an errand-boy in a paper- mill. When twelve years old he entered the Ulster Iron- Works, at Saugerties, N. Y., and having become a general favorite with employers and managers, he rapidly and thor- oughly worked through all the branches of the trade, being afforded free access to all the departments of an establish- ment ranking the first in the country in the variety and excellence of its products. He was enabled through the imported Staffordshire worker, and also through the mana- ger, who had acquired not only the skill of his native land but had also been employed in France, and was perfectly acquainted with the foreign manufacture of iron, to gain a full and complete insight into all the manipulations of the craft and the title of a finished American workman. During the time he was employed at the Ulster works he operated the first successful furnace, in 1837, used for heat- ing iron by means of anthracite coal. During the last years of his service here he held the position of workman mana- ger in charge of three trains of rolls, the highest station of a workman. His total connection with these works ex- tended through eighteen years, having entered as a boy and left as a thoroughly educated mechanic. John Simmons was the Staffordshire worker under whom he learned, who was born May 22, 1777, at Deerfield (Cosely), in parish of Sedgely, England. In 1845 he became master-workman of a rolling-mill at Pompton, N. Y., where he remained a year,

722

and then passed to the works of Thomas Hunt, of Philadel- phia, where he was employed in a similar capacity. After a year's sojourn he was engaged at the Fairmount Iron- Works as mill manager and master-workman. In 1850 he removed to Safe Harbor, Pa., and, as superintendent, had charge of the rail- and puddle-mills of the iron-works at that place for seven years, with entire satisfaction to the pro- prietors, who tendered him on the eve of his departure the most complimentary written testimonials of their apprecia- tion of his great merits and superior qualifications.

In 1856 he received the appointment of mill manager in the extensive works of the Phoenix Iron Company, which position he has occupied the past twenty-four years. He is now organizing and putting into operation the new mill, erected some six years ago, but under the present revival of business being started for its first work. He is now employed by the third generation of the Reeves family, who are the proprietors of the works. In political matters he has been especially active, first as a Whig, then as a Republican. But though a patriotic politician from a sense of duty, he would never accept any political office. During the Re- bellion he aided the Union army materially by his own active exertions, freely using his entire income for that purpose, exceptiog what was necessary for the support of his family. The care of the families of the soldiers was with him a special object, and he still continues his bene- factions to the relatives of those who laid down their lives for their country. For thirty-two years he has been an acceptable member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and during nearly this whole period has served the congrega- tions with which he has been connected in some official capacity. He was married in 1836 to Jane Vosburgh, of Ulster Co., N. Y., and of his family of three children two are living. His only son, Vosburgh N., received a liberal collegiate education, and is by profession a civil and me- chanical engineer and iron manufacturer, having filled already several responsible positions. He is at present in the publishing business, and proprietor of the Independent Phoenix, a paper at Phoenixville. Mr. Shaffer holds in the highest regard and love the recollection of his employers in his long and busy life, and cherishes with great venera- tion his happy associations with them, and which feelings were mutual between him and those for whom he was en- gaged. He is strongly attached to the I. O. O. F., with which order he has been connected since 1852.

SHARPLESS,* JOHN, of Ratherton, in Cheshire, Eng- land, m. Jane Moore, of the same place, in the year 1662. In the year 1682 the family removed to Pennsylvania, landing at Chester on the 14th of 6th mo., 1682, more than two months prior to the arrival of William Penn. John Sharpless had purchased 1000 acres from Penn, by lease and release of April 4 and 5, 1682, part of which they took up on Ridley Creek, about two miles north west from Chester, " where they fell a large tree, and took shelter among the boughs thereof about six weeks, in which time they built a cabin against a rock, which answered for their chimney-back, and now contains the date of the

year when the cabin was built, viz., 1682, in which they dwelt about twenty years, and where they all died except the mother and three sons ; in which time Joseph learnt the trade of house-carpenter, and when of age built the first dwelling-house, which is now standing (1816) and occu- pied by one of their descendants. Part of the original floors are still in use, being fastened down with wooden pins of about an inch in diameter, instead of nails. It is a sizeable two-story dwelling, the walls of stone." It is now occupied by Beulah E., widow of Daniel Sharpless.

The remainder of the land was taken up, part in Middle- town, near Darlington Station now, and part in Nether Providence.

John Sharpless died 4, 11, 1685, aged about sixty-one years, and his widow 9, 1, 1722, about the eighty-fourth year of her age. The children were,-1.

John Sharpless (2) was married, 9, 23, 1692, at a meet- ing at John Bowater's house, in Middletown, to Hannah Pennell, daughter of Robert and Hannah, of that town- ship. He settled in Ridley, and had children,-8. Caleb, b. 7, 27, 1693, d. 2, 29, 1720, unmarried ; 9. Jane, b. 12, 24, 1695-6, m. George Smedley ; 10. Hannah, b. 8, 5, 1697, d. 1780, m. Henry Howard ; 11. John, b. 8, 16, 1699, d. 8, 17, 1769, m. Mary Key and Elizabeth Ash- bridge; 12. Phebe, b. 11, 9, 1701-2, m. Benjamin Hib- berd; 13. Rebecca, b. 12, 17, 1703-4, d. unmarried ; 14.

His son Enos, born 3, 1, 1781, married Beulah Martin, and was the father of the late John M. Sharpless, the founder of dye- stuff manufacture at Chester.

James Sharpless (4) married, 1, 3, 1697-8, Mary Edge, who died 2, 17, 1698, and he married again, 12, 20, 1699, Mary Lewis, daughter of Ralph and Mary Lewis, from Glamorganshire, Wales.
