In the list of 1776 we find rated Benjamin Holt, one hundred and two acres and eight children, and

Mordecai Holt, one hundred and ten acres. The latter was collector of taxes in 1781, and became the owner of the old Iredell homestead, situated on the east side of the turnpike, above the meeting-house. He had an only child, Nathan Holt, who inherited the estate and retained it during his lifetime. He died in 1848, in his eighty-fourth year, and donated by his will nearly all his property to the Hatboro' Library Company. He was a member of that library fifty- seven years, and stated, not long before his death, that for most of his knowledge he was indebted to this institution. The amount realized was five thousand eight hundred dollars, whereof three thousand eight hundred dollars was applied to the erection of a new building, completed in 1849, and the balance invested and the income used in the purchase of books.

The earliest public highway that extended into Horsham, most probably, was the Welsh road, which was laid out in 1712 from the "Ford " over Penny- pack, at the present IHuntingdon Valley, along the whole southwest line of the township, and separating it from Upper Dublin and Gwynedd. In 1731 com- plaint was made to the court by the inhabitants of Upper Dublin that the Ilorsham overseers did not keep their part of said road in proper order, when a division of the same was made, and the respective townships required to attend to it in thefuture. The road from Græme Park by way of Horsham Meeting- house to the York road, at Willow Grove, was opened in 1722, and also the same year from the former place down the county line, to IIatboro'. As these were laid out from Governor Keith's settlement, the former was long known as the "Governor's road." The road from the present Spring House to Horsham Meeting-house was laid out and confirmed in 1723. The Horsham road extends through the centre of the township ; was laid out from near the meeting-house up into Montgomery township in the spring of 1735. The Butler road, which extends in a northern direc- tion across Horsham, must have been opened near the aforesaid date, having received this name from leading to Simon Butler's mill, on the northwest branch of the Neshaminy, in New Britain township, near the present Whitehallville. Butler was quite a prominent man ; appointed justice of the peace in 1738, and continued therein for over twenty years. The County Line road, from Græme Park to the pres- ent Line Lexington, was opened in 1752. The super- visors of roads in 1767 were Daniel Jones and Abra- ham Lukens; in 1773, Robert Iredell and Samuel Conan ; in 1785, Abraham Lukens and William Miller ; in 1810, Joseph Kenderdine and Joseph Parry. James Craven, was constable in 1774.

Horsham, or better known as Horshamville, on the Doylestown and Willow Grove turnpike, is in the midst of a fine agricultural district, contains about twenty houses, a Friends' Meeting-house, two school- houses, a store and several mechanic shops. The post- office was established here before 1816, when Charles

Palmer was postmaster. In January, 1826, Charles Jarrett was appointed, and its name changed from Horsham Meeting-house to Horsham. This is an old settlement, the meeting house having been com- menced in 1722, if not earlier. The Pennypack flows near by into which empty several streams of water that have their sources near by. A hall was built in 1855 in which literary exercises and lectures are held. A library was founded here in 1799 and incorporated in 1808, having in 1853 thirty-two members. Owing to a lack of interest, in 1874 its remaining nine hundred volumes were sold, and thus beeame scattered in a day the accumulation of three-quarters of a century.

Prospectville, situated at the intersection of the Whitehall turnpike and Horsham road, contains eiglit houses, a store, hall and several mechanics. The post-office was established before 1858. Here, in 1779, Thomas Roney kept an inn, succeeded by David Caldwell in 1785. This place formerly bore the name of Cashtown. Davis Grove is within half a mile of the Bucks County line, and about that dis-

tance from Græme Park. It contains four or five houses, a store and blacksmith-shop. Mary Ball kept an inn here in 1790, sign of the "Yellow Ball," suc- ceeded afterwards by Wm. Yerkes, about 1800, followed by Jesse Kirk before 1807, and, on the death of the lat- ter, by his son, Jacob Kirk, who discontinued it about 1850. The elections in 1824 were required to be held at Hatboro', but several years after were removed to this place. A hamlet of four or five houses, school- house and a smith-shop, in the centre of the town- ship, on the Horsham road, has for a long time borne the dignified name of Babylon.

The people of this agricultural township have long been noted for their intelligence and generous social qualities, and hence we do not wonder at the number of noted persons who have either heen born or resided within its limits, particularly when we come to re- gard its small population, barely exceeding thirteen hundred. Here have been the homes of such literary or distinguished characters as Sir William Keith, Dr. Thomas Græme, Mrs. Elizabeth Ferguson, John and Anna Young, Dr. Archibald McClean, Robert Loller, David and Joseph Lloyd, Samuel and John Gummere, John, Abraham aud Isaiah Lukens, Hiram McNeal and others that could be mentioned. Here, too, lived for several generations the Simpson family, a daughter of whom became the mother of General Ulysses S. Grant. Græme Park, so rich in memories of the colonial period, will form a subject of sufficient interest to be treated by itself.

The Simpson Family .- We are not at present pre- pared to give the earliest history of this family, but it is known from records that before the Revolution Samuel Simpson resided in Abington township, the owner of a farm of one hundred and eighty-eight acres, and a few years later there was Benjamin Simpson, who probably was his son. John Simpson, the great- grandfather of General Grant, was a collector of taxes

in IIorsham in 1776, and we find him rated for this year as holding one hundred and fifty acres, four horses, four cattle and fourteen sheep, taxed £14. 14s. For several reasons we are inclined to believe that the latter was the son of Samuel Simpson, of Abing- ton, and probably the first ancestor of the family in this country. It has been stated that this family is of Scotch-Irish origin, about which we have doubts. The name is found in Friends' records, and there was a minister of Abington Meeting in the last century of the name of James Simpson. A close examina- tion has been made of the numerous tombstones in the graveyard of Abington Presbyterian Church, and none have been discovered there bearing the name.

The aforesaid John Simpson, as we learn, pur- chased his property iu Horsham at sheriff's sale No- vember 30, 1763, which really contained one hundred and sixty-four aeres, situated in the extreme northern corner of the township, adjoining Montgomery and extending to the Bucks County line. It is presumed that he must have moved on it soon after the pur- chase. He is stated to have had at least three chil- dren,-a son John and two daughters. Respecting the latter, we possess no information. He must have been a man of some note to possess this property, and likewise of responsibility to be invested with the powers and duties of a collector of the revenue, and that, too, in the most memorable year of the Revolu- tion. It is stated he died near the beginning of this century, when his son became the owner of the homestead, whereon he was born in 1767. He is said to have married Rebecea Wier, a daughter of a sub- stantial farmer in Warrington, or New Britain. He was probably married in 1793, for his eldest daughter, Mary was born in 1795, and Hannah, the mother of Gen- eral Grant, in November, 1797. His son Samuel was still living, at a very advanced age, in the spring of 1883, near Bantam, Ohio. John Simpson, Jr., continued to reside in Horsham until his children were grown up, when, with the idea of going westward, he sold his farm, in the fall of 1817, to John Meyers, and in the following year moved with his family on a farm he had previously purchased near Bethel, Clermont Co., Ohio. All the school education that he or his children had received was obtained near by, at the stone school- house on the county line. He died August 20, 1837, iu his seventieth year. His daughter Mary had mar- ried James Griffith in 1818. Hannah was married, June 24, 1820, to Jesse Root Grant, who was a son of Noah Grant, and also a Pennsylvanian, born in West- moreland County January 23, 1794.

To Dr. Jackson, of Pittsburgh, we are indebted for an interesting relation made to him by Jesse R. Grant, in 1867, on the subject of his marriage into the Simpson family, which refutes several errors that have been current on the subject,-

"In 1820 " (he states) " I settled temporarily at a small place called Point Pleasant, situated on the Ohio river, twenty-five miles above Cin- cinnati, and in June, 1820, I was married to Miss Hannah Simpson, and

879

commenced honse-keeping at that place. Mrs. Grant was an unpretend- ing country-girl-handsome but not vain. She had previously joined the Methodist Church, and I can truthfully say that it has never bad a more devoted and consistent member. Her steadiness, firmness and strength of character have been the stay of the family through life. She was always careful and most watchful over her children, but not austere, and not opposed to their free participation in innocent amusement. At Point Pleasant, on the 27th of April, 1822, our first child, ['lyses S. Grant, was born. The bon'se in which this event occurred, is still standing. Five otber children, three daughters and two sons, were subsequently added to our family. Mrs. Grant was the second daughter of Mr. Jobn Simpson, of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She was born and brought up in that county, about twenty miles from Philadelphia. When in ber nineteenth year, she moved with her father to Clermont County, Ohio. The family were highly respectable-people of veracity and integrity, but not of any particular ambition beyond that of independent farmers. Mrs. Grant's father was worth some property, but it was all in land, and which he kept until he died. It was nearly three years after their removal to Clermont that we were married. A few of the neigh- bors expressed their surprise that one of Mr. Simpson's daughters should marry a young man hardly yet established in business. But this did me no harm, and as soon as it was seen how I was getting along I heard no more of it."

The children of Jesse R. Grant were Ulysses Simp- son, Samuel Simpson, Orville L., Rachel, Virginia Payne and Mary Frances. The father died June 27, 1873, and Mrs. Grant at New York, May 11, 1882, aged eighty-four years and six months. Mary, the eldest sister, was still living in the spring of 1883, in her eighty-seventh year, which shows remarkable longer- ity in the family. It is stated that Samuel Medary, late Governor of Ohio, was brought up in the vicinity of Horsham and was a schoolmate of John Simp- son's children, and au intimacy was thus early formed that had much to do with his rise to future eminence. As a young man he went West in 1825, and through their former acquaintance in Montgomery County, was induced to make his home with Mr. Simpson, who, through his influence, secured him a school in the neighborhood, where he taught all of three years, which enabled him, with economy, to start a newspaper called the Clermont Sun, which advanced him onwards until he was elected, in 1856, chief executive of his adopted State.

Nearly forty years ago the writer was acquainted with several Simpsons residing in Moreland township and vicinity. They bore a close resemblance to General Grant, and were of the same physical organization, and therefore, without doubt, were members of the same family. The old homestead in Horsham has long since become divided into several farms. John Duddy owns the portion on the east of the turnpike, on which the buildings stood. From what has been ascertained, John Simpson, Jr., was highly respected by his neighbors in Ohio and regarded as a man of in- telligence. Here are materials iu a brief family sketch that seem to border on romance.

Friends' Meeting-House in Horsham .- Respect- ing this early meeting we have seen no account beyond that given in the "History of Montgomery County," as published in Scott's Atlas in 1877. Having secured additional matter, it was made the subject of an article in "The Local Historian," published in the spring of 1882. With a few more facts we now en-

ter on a third concise attempt. The earliest mention whatever that we could find of Horsham is in a minute of Abington Monthly Meeting under the date of 30th of Fifth Month, 1717, which states that " It is agreed that there be two overseers chosen for Hors- ham Meeting, viz. : John Michener and Thomas Iredell." Samuel Smithstates, in his "History of the Province," that it was established the 24th of Seventh Month, 1716, "at first only in the winter season." Respecting these overseers, the former settled in More- land, nearly four miles distant, in the spring of 1715, and the latter about half a mile north of the meeting- house.

Hannah Carpenter, the widow of Samuel Carpenter, by a deed of trust, conveyed to John Cadwallader, Thomas Iredell, Evan Lloyd and Richard Kender- dine, the 27th of Third Month, 1719, for the use of Friends, fifty acres of land from his great tract, on which the meeting-house was built, most probably in 1721, for we know from the jurors' report on the laying out of the Governor's road along here, April 23, 1722, that it was located by the Meeting-House. John Fothergill, of England, mentions in his journal attending this meeting, 17th of Eleventh Month, 1721- 22, in company with Lawrence King. We next find in the monthly records that the members had made application the 28th of Seventh Month, 1724, " for some assistance towards ye finishing of their new Meeting-House ; ye meeting, having taken it into con- sideration, order that the four meetings shall assist those friends in Horsham." By this is meant the members composing the Monthly Meeting, compris- ing Abington, established 1697 ; Germantown, 1704; Byberry, 1715; and of Horsham. We thus perceive that as small or humble as this structure may have been, some three or four years must have elapsed before it was fully completed. We believe it was of stone and stood until 1803, when it was demolished, and the present substantial and commodious two- story structure occupies its place.

For her donation Hannah Carpenter deserves some mention. She was born in Haverford West, in South Wales, her family-name being Hardiman, and was married to Samuel Carpenter, in Philadelphia, the 12th of Tenth Month, 1684. Like her husband, she was highly esteemed for her well-directed efforts in benevolence. She died on the 24th of Fifth Month, 1728, in her eighty-third year. Samuel Carpenter, had, in 1711, executed a deed of trust for a lot of ground for a meeting-house, burying-ground and pasture to Friends in Bristol, Bucks Co., on which was erected a house for worship in 1713, only a year previous to his death. Toward the close of his life we regret to state this worthy, enterprising man expe- rienced financial embarrassment, thus rendering the gift the more noble or self-sacrificing on the part of his widow.

Evan Lloyd was one of the first ministers of this congregation, of which also John Cadwallader was

an elder. In 1782 it had become so strong that the Quarterly Meeting formed it into a Monthly Meeting, to be called Horsham, to which Byberry was attached. How long this organization continued we are unable to say, but probably into the beginning of this century or until the formation of the latter into a Monthly Mecting, when Horsham was again attached to Abington. From an advertisement in the Penn- sylvania Gazette in the beginning of 1753 we learn that the Friends' school-house was then built, for which, as the committee, John Lukens, surveyor, Abraham Lukens and Benjamin Cadwallader, " living near the Meeting-House in Horsham township," de- sired the services of a teacher,-very probably, the present stone school-house, in which Isaac Comly, of Byberry, the author and editor, also taught in 1799.

The ancient graveyard here is an object of interest, and since 1719, no doubt, fully two thousand have been interred here. To meet the increasing demand for space, it has been enlarged again and again. It now comprises several acres, and on the roadside is in- closed by a substantial stone wall, recently repaired. In examining this ground at leisure, we find here many tombstones bearing the time-honored names of Spencer, Walton, Hallowell, Palmer, Jarrett, Lukens, Longstreth, Kirk, l'aul, Cadwallader, Thomas, Iredell, Comly, Lloyd, Wood, Parry, Jones, Kender- dine, Michener, Shoemaker and others. We propose to give a short list of names, copied therefrom, which may prove of interest to some of their surviving kindred or friends residing beyond the neighborhood. For brevity the months and days are omitted: William Penrose, 1863, aged 81 years; Jane S. Homer, 1864, 33; Nicholas Kohl, 1866, 76, and wife, Martha, 1873, 76; Moses Lukens, 1852, 71; Martha Paul, of Willow Grove, 1857, 90; John Walker, 1872, 81; Jesse Homer, 1850, 20; Jacob Leidy, 1850, 28; Charles Hallowell, 1858, 78; T. Elwood Comly, 1863, 38; John Iredell, 1869, 69; Jacob Walton, 1875, 76; Samuel Shoemaker, 1845, 52; Thomas Iredell, 1865, 63; Isaac Warner, 1877, 89, and his wife, Elizabeth, 1877, 94; Daniel Lloyd, 1875, 64; Daniel Longstreth, 1846, 45 ; Joseph S. Lukens, 1875, 90; Gove Mitchell, no date, 74; and Robert Roberts, no date, 79. With all of these we had a persoual acquaintance, which alone induced us at the time to transcribe them.

One grand object here cannot fail to arrest atten- tion,-we mean its noble sassafras-tree, that, ont of curiosity, was measured in 1852, and was found to be, at sixteen inches from the surface of the ground, thirteen feet in circumference and carrying, with little diminu- tion, the same width on the trunk for ten or twelve feet. Though thirty-two years have since elapsed, it has probably grown but little. It appears now to be on the decline. At a distance it presents the ap- pearance of a majestic and venerable chestnut-tree. It may, perhaps, be the largest of its kind in the country.

This meeting-house, as is usual with Friends, is

surrounded by noble shade-trees, particularly button- wood and oak, some of the latter undoubtedly rem- nants of the ancient forest. Here, too, on nearly all sides, are extensive sheds for the protection of horses from the inclemency of the weather in all seasons. It is calculated to do one good at the close of the quiet Friends' worship, as we have more than ouce experi- enced here, to enter into a general hand-shaking, as is the custom, thus renewing friendship and reviving recollection.

Græme Park .- Few places in Pennsylvania sur- pass Græme Park in interesting historical associ- ations. The old mansion-house of Sir William Keith is still standing there, a relic of early colonial days, around which cluster the events of considerably more than a century and a half. It is situated near the Bucks County line, nearly a mile northwest of the Doylestown and Willow Grove turnpike, and nine- teen miles from Philadelphia.

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP.

By a patent from Penn's commissioners of prop- erty, dated May 26, 1706, a traet of land containing five thousand and eighty-eight acres was conveyed to perches, and from thenec eight hundred and five Samuel Carpenter, a distinguished merchant of Phila- delphia, which lay chiefly in the present township of Horsham, a small portion only extending over the Bucks County line into Warrington. After Mr. Carpenter's death his executors sold from off this tract to Andrew Hamilton, February 3, 1718, twelve hundred acres. The latter sold it to William Keith, Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania, the follow- ing 5th of March, for the same sum of five hundred pounds. Its bounds are thus set forth :

" Beginning at corner Black oak marked 'S. C.,' in Joseph Fisher's line ; from thence hy the said Fisher's land sontheast 408 perches to a cornerpost of Thomas Kenderdine's land ; from theuce extending north- east by the said Kenderdine's land and other land of Sammel Carpenter, deceased, 474 perches to another corner post standing in William Fish- bonrne's line ; thence northwest in the line dividing the counties of Phila- delphia aod Bucks by the said Fishbourne's land and other land late of the said Sammel Carpenter, 408 perches to a corner White oak, marked ' S. C. ; ' from thence southwest 474 perches to the place of beginning, containing 120 acres, to the only proper use and hehoof of the said William Keith, his heirs and assigns for ever under the proportionate part of the yearly Quit-Rent hereafter accruing for the hereby granted premises."

It is evident that this early purchase must have been an entire forest, without any improvements what- ever, and with no public highway nearer than the old York Road, which had been laid out from Philadel- phia to the river Delaware in the fall of 1711. At the latest, the Governor must have commenced his ! improvements here in the summer of 1721, for we know that on the following December 12th he en- tered into a contract with John Kirk, mason, for the mansion, which is still standing. The next we know is that the "Hon. Sir William Keith, Bart., Gov- nor," acquainted his Council, consisting of Richard Hill, Isaac Norris, Samuel Preston, Anthony Palmer, Thomas Masters, Henry Brook, Andrew Hamilton, attorney-general, and James Logan, secretary, on March 25, 1722,
