BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

JOHN C. BOORSE, ESQ.

The progenitor of the Boorse family in Montgomery County was Harman Boors, a native of Holland, who came to this country at an early period, probably about the middle of the last century, and settled in what is now Towamensing township, Montgomery Co., Pa., near what is now the village of Kulpsville. He was, no doubt, a man of considerable wealth and enterprise, and possessed also a liberal education. In his business transactions it became necessary for him to cross the ocean several times, and on his last voyage to America he died at sea. He was the father of five sons-viz., John and Henry, died without issue ; Peter, married, and died May 1, 1797; Arnold and Harman, Jr.

Harman, Jr., was the father of the following chil- dren : viz., John; Margaret, born September 8, 1765, no issue; Peter, born August 28, 1767, was married and left four children; Henry, born December 25, 1769, died November 27, 1777; Anna, born September 22, 1772, married Abraham Hendricks October 22, 1793; Catharine, born March 28, 1775, married Sam- tel Metz November 10, 1796; Sybilla, born April 2, 1777, married Jacob Hendricks; Susanna, born Feb- ruary 25, 1779, married Jesse Lewis February 19, 1799; and Elizabeth, born February 17, 1782, married Samuel Kriebel.

John Boorse, grandfather of John C. Boorse, was born October 17, 1763, married Elizabeth Cassell June 8, 1797, and died January 26, 1847. His wife died July 26, 1830. They were the parents of Abraham, Henry C., Magdalena, Peter, Daniel, Joseph, Harman, Jacob, Catharine, Mary and Hubert Boorse. Magda- lena married Jacob Boyer, Catharine married James Lloyd and Mary married Elias Cassel. Only four of these children are now living-viz., Jacob, Joseph, Mary and Hubert.

Henry C. Boorse, father of John C. Boorse, was born October 14, 1799, in Towamensing township, on

the farm now owned by Hubert Boorse. This farm has been in the Boorsc family for over one hundred and thirty years. Henry C. was married, March 5, 1822, to Susanna Cassel, and died April 26, 1869. She died April 6, 1856. They were the parents of chil- dren, as follows:

I. Barbara, born December 8, 1822, married Henry K. Zeigler, of Skippack, and died in March, 1866.

II. Ephraim, born January 24, 1825, married Miss Elizabeth Zeigler, of Skippack.

11I. John C., born June 27, 1831, married, January 21, 1855, to Miss Mary Rittenhouse, danghter of Samuel

William Bechtel, of Collegeville, Pa. She died May 7,1877.

V. Susan, born September 9, 1839, died December 18, 1856.

John C. Boorse, Esq., commenced his business carcer as a farmer, and in 1855 purchased of his father the old homestead, and conducted the business pertaining to a large farm until 1866, when he retired from the dull routine of the farm and engaged in the more active duties of surveyor, conveyancer and justice of the peace, the duties of which he still performs to the entire satisfaction of all parties concerned. He has

John Bourse 11

and Mary Rittenhouse, of Towamensing, and a lineal [ made five hundred and fifty-four surveys of different descendant of the celebrated David Rittenhouse. Their children are Alinda R., born May 29, 1856, died Jan- uary 31, 1857; Mary Ann, born December 18, 1857, married Humphrey W. Edwards of Kulpsville; Melinda, born January 3, 1860, died August 31, 1860; Ella, born March 21, 1862; Lizzie, born March 25, 1864; Henry R., born September 21, 1866, editor and publisher of the Towamensing Item, established January, 1885 ; Alma, born December 9, 1868; Nora, born June 7, 1871; Edith R., born October 21, 1879.

IV. Catharine, born December 6, 1836, married

tracts of land, and has written seventeen hundred and sixty-four deeds and mortgages and taken acknowledg- ments of the same. He entered the political field in the early part of 1855, when he was elected township assessor, which position he filled for eight years. Ile was elected a justice of the peace at the spring election in 1862, and has held that office continuously until the present time. He has been one of the school directors of the township for six years, judge of election for two terms, member of the election board for twenty-seven years, a member of the Republican County Committee

1092

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

(of which organization he is an enthusiastic member) for at least twelve years, and since the organization of the Republican party has been honored many times with a seat in the councils of its leaders, in the State and county, and has received the most flattering testi- monials from the press of the county.

In his official capacity he formulated the charter and made the original survey for the borough of Lansdale. He was one of the original directors of the Lansdale Water-Works Company, and is the present secretary of the same; a director and secretary of the Lansdale Cemetery Association; one of the original members and secretary of the Towamensing Creamery Associa- tion; one of the originators of the Kulpsville Literary and Library Association, and one of its active mem- bers; a director in the Perkiomen Fire and Storm In- surance Company of Montgomery County. He was the official surveyor of the borough of Lansdale from 1872 to 1881.

He was the originator and prime mover in getting the first telephone liue from Norristown to Kulpsville via North Wales and Lansdale, with station at his office.

He held the office of justice of the peace for twenty- three years, during which time only nineteen cases were returned to court; he always endeavored to settle cases before going to court. As the Hon. Judge Ross at one time remarked before court: "If all justices of the peace in the county would act like John C. Boorse, of Kulpsville, thousands of dollars would be annually saved to the county in costs."

In 1870 he received the appointment to take the census of Towamensing and Lower Salford townships, which he filled with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the department.

In 1865 he received the unanimous nomination for county commissioner, and ran far ahead of the regular ticket; the Democratic party being then in large ma- jority, he was defeated.

He was also several times strongly urged by the leaders and many others of the party to become a candidate for the Legislature, which honor he pos- itively refused, saying "he was not competent."

He was one of the delegates to the State convention held in 1875, in Lancaster, and voted for John F. Hartranft for Governor and William Rawle for treas- urer. He was an active committeeman in the county's centennial, and is also a member of the Montgomery County Historical Society.

He has been a member of Providence Lodge, No. 345, I. O. O. F., since 1867, trustee, treasurer and rep- resentative to Grand Lodge of the same for several years, and one of the directors of the Odd-Fellows' Endowment Association of Pennsylvania. He became a member of Charity Lodge, No. 190, F. A. M., Nor- ristown, October 10, 1872; is also a member of Nor- ristown Chapter, No. 190, R. A. M., and was knighted in Hutchinson Commandery, No. 32, K. T., stationed at Norristown, January 25, 1875.

Mr. Boorse has always been active in all progressive movements of the age in which his business life has thus far been spent, especially anything tending to improve the morals and intellect of the young and rising generation by whom he is surrounded.

CHAPTER LXXV.

UPPER DUBLIN TOWNSHIP.1

THIS township is regular in form, approaching a square, and is bounded northeast by Horsham, south hy Springfield, southwest by Whitemarsh, west by Whitpain, east by Moreland and southeast by Abing- ton. It is four and one -half miles long, three and one- fourth wide, and contains an area of eight thousand eight hundred and forty acres. Its surface is rolling and the soil fertile, composed of limestone and loam. Camp Hill is an elevation of Revolutionary memory that commences in Whitemarsh and extends eastwardly across the township on the north side of Sandy Run. The Wissahickon passes through the west corner over a mile, propelling two grist-mills, and receiving as tributaries Rose Valley, Pine and Sandy Runs, which also furnish water-power. The limestone and iron- ore belts extend across the southern angle, following the valley of Sandy Run nearly two miles.

The township is crossed by the Spring House turn- pike two miles, the Lewisville and Prospectville pike two miles, Upper Dublin and Horsham pike one mile, Limekiln pike three and one-half miles and the Ply- mouth and Upper Dublin pike over one mile. The latter two roads were constructed in 1851 and 1855. The North Pennsylvania Railroad passes nearly a mile and a quarter through its western angle, and has a station at Ambler, fourteen and one-half miles from Philadelphia. The villages are Ambler, Fitzwater- town, Jarrettown, Three Tons and Dreshertown ; with a post-office at each, excepting the last-mentioned place .. The population in 1800 was 744; in 1840, 1322; and in 1880, 1856. The taxable real estate in the year 1882 was valued at $1,652,492, and includ- ing the personal, $1,758,452, the average per taxable being $3094. Upper Dublin contains fourteen square miles, and, according to the census of 1880, had then 132 inhabitants to the square mile. In May, 1883, licenses were issued to four hotels, nine general stores, one stove-store, six dealers in flour and feed, one coal- yard, one lumber and fertilizers, one tobacco-store and one restaurant. Without Ambler, it contains five public schools, open ten months, with an average at- tendance of 148 for the school year ending June 1, 1881. The census of 1850 returned 243 houses, 245 families and 129 farms. Every census taken since

UPPER DUBLIN TOWNSHIP.

1800 shows in this township a remarkably steady in- crease in its population.

According to Holme's map of original surveys, the first land-holders in Upper Dublin, commencing at the Abington line, between the Susquehanna Street road and Horsham, were Samuel Clarrige, Pierce & Co., Richard Hill and Richards & Aubrey ; south of that road to the Gwynedd line, in the same order, William Salaway, Mathew Perrin, Henry Patrick, Mathias Seely, John Southworth, Richard Coates, Andrew Soule, Thomas Marle and William and George Harmer. If the aforesaid is correct, it is very prob- able, judging by the list of 1734, that not one (unless the Harmers be excepted) of those mentioned was a settler, being merely dealers in land, which they took up with a view to speculation. It was, in consequence, settled slowly, and we cannot find that it was recog- nized as a township much earlier than 1719. Records exist establishing the fact that in 1705 it was re- garded as a portion of Abington ; hence we may justly conclude that its territory was set off from that town- ship, but at what exact date cannot now well be ascer- tained.

To touch on the early settlement of Upper Dublin, it is, perhaps, best to refer first to the list of resident land-hollers and tenants in the township in 1734, and from that date base all anterior claims. According to that authority, there were at the time mentioned thirty- five, as follows: Derick Tyson, 100 acres; Richard Witton, 200; Joseph Charlesworth, 200; Joseph Bri- tain, 100; Ephraim Heaton, 100; Ellis Lewis, 200; Trump's estate, 200; Samuel Spencer, 100; Daniel Roberts, 200; William Atkinson, 50; Rees David, 100 ; Edward Burk, 200; Edward Burk, Jr., 20 ; Hugh Burk, 100; Thomas Parker, 90; Peter Cleaver, 100 ; William Melcher, 100; John Harmer, 100; Dennis Cunard, 100; Joseph Tucker, 200; Joseph Nash, 100; William Lukens, 200; John McCathery, 100; Thomas Fitzwater, 200; John Conard, 200: John Hamilton, 50; Thomas Fitzwater, Richard Reagan, Thomas Davis, John Trout, Charles Hubbs, Henry Rinkard, Ellis Lewis, John Loanan and Robert Donghiy.

Edward Burk's purchase was made from Nicholas Scull and others November 21, 1698, and extended from the Susquehanna Street road to the Whitemarsh line, and included a part of the present village of Ambler. It must have been soon after this date that he settled upon his tract, and he was probably one of the earliest settlers in the township. Edward Burk, Jr., and Hugh Burk were his sons. John Burk was a su- pervisor of roads from 1774 to 1777, and from this last date Edward Burk continuously to 1786. He was also a collector of taxes in the Revolution. In 1776 we find assessed in this township Edward Burk, " aged," fifty acres ; Edward Burk, Jr., seventy-eight acres; John Burk, sixty acres; John Burk, single. Charles Burk, now in his eightieth year, resides on the old homestead, which has never been out of the family. His father and grandfather bore the name

of Edward Burk. The latter was born on this place in 1761, and died in 1832. He is the last survivor of eight children and the only one bearing the name now in the township. The family have been among the earliest members of the St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, of which he has been warden since 1833. The records of this church go back no further than 1742, when Hugh Burk was warden and John Burk a vestryman.

It is known that Thomas Fitzwater owned real estate and carried on lime-burning at the present village of Fitzwatertown hefore June, 1705, when he had sent in a petition for a road from his kilns to Pennypack Mills; but it was not attended to until 1725. His father, Thomas Fitzwater,, with sons, Thomas and George, came from Middlesex, England, and arrived in the ship " Welcome," with William Penn, in November, 1682. His wife, Mary, and children, Josiah and Mary, died on the passage. Ile originally settled in Bucks County, which he represented in the Assembly in 1683. He afterwards removed to Philadelphia, and was again in the Assembly in 1690. He was a preacher among Friends, and died October 6, 1699. In the assessment of Upper Dublin in 1776, John Fitzwater is rated for three hundred acres of land and a grist-mill. Mathew and John Fitzwater, probably sons, are also mentioned thereon. John Fitzwater, a descendant of this family and an extensive lime-burner and real estate owner, died at Fitzwatertown, May 13, 1857, in his eighty- fourth year, and was buried in the family burying- ground near by. He was owner of a portion of the Emlin estate, on which is the large mansion used by Washington as his headquarters, while the army lay in the vicinity of Whitemarsh. Fitzwater as a sur- name has now become extinct in Upper Dublin.

Dennis (or Tunis) Kunders (or Conard) came from Germany and settled at Germantown before 1700, and with his sons-Conrad, Mathias and John-was natura- lized September 29, 1707, to hold and enjoy lands. Peter Cleaver also settled in Germantown, and in 1695 was married, in Abington Meeting, to Catharine Shoemaker, and naturalized in 1707. We find here in 1776, Peter Cleaver owning one hundred and fifty acres ; John Cleaver, one hundred ; and Isaac Clea- ver, one hundred acres. Descendants still possess lands here. The Houpt family is also of German origin, and in Montgomery County has produced several successful business men. Samuel, Houpt, in 1776, is rated here as possessing a farm of ninety-five acres. His descendants have become numerous. Respecting the Lukens family, in 1776, Ryner Lukens is rated for 100 acres; Joseph Lukens, 100 acres; Isaac Tyson, 150 acres; Mathew Tyson, 50; and Jonathan Tyson, 123 acres and a grist-mill. Samuel Spencer, who is mentioned in 1734, was still living in 1776 and represented as "aged," and owing 150 acres; James Spencer, 150; and John Spencer, the same number of acres. They registed in the eastern part of the township and were members of Horsham Meeting.

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

Joseph Nash, in the list of 1734, may possibly be the same on whom a raid was made by the British while they held possession of Philadelphia, for which he was allowed two hundred and twenty ponnds damages thns sustained.

The road from North Wales or Gwynedd to Ger- mantown and Philadelphia, but now better known as the Betlilehem road or turnpike, which was laid out in 1704, but not opened until 1714, passes two miles across the west corner of the township. What is now called the Welsh road was opened from Gwynedd in 1712, forming the boundary line of Horsham, and extends to the present Huntingdon Valley, on the Pennypack. Respecting this road, there was a dispute, in 1731, be- tween the two townships about keeping it in repair. Althongh Thomas Fitzwater had applied to the court for the grant of a road from his limekilns to the Pen- nypack Mills, by way of Abington Meeting-house, in 1705, it was not laid out and opened until 1725. This is the road now leading from Fitzwatertown through Weldon and Jenkintown. The Limekiln road was in use and bore this name before 1716. John Burk, in June, 1744, sent a petition to the Court of Quarter Sessions, stating that he had lately erected a grist-mill in Upper Dublin, and that he was in want of a road of about half a mile in length from the same to the Gwynedd road, passing on his line, with lands of Andrew Bradford' deceased. It was accordingly ordered to be laid out' This is now the present John Heist's mill, above Gil- kison's Corner.

Thomas Fitzwater was appointed collector of taxes for Upper Dublin in 1719 ; the amount was £10 108. 8d., equivalent to $28.80 of our present currency. Thomas Siddon was collector in 1722 and John Trump in 1723. Hans Caspar Schlater was supervisor of high- ways in 1765; James Spencer, to 1767 ; Michael Trump, to 1770; George Reagan, 1771 ; Samuel Murray and Christian Herner, 1772; John Spencer and John Burk, 1774; John Bnrk and Michael McCrory, until 1777 ; John Cleaver and Joseph Butler, 1786; Isaac Cleaver and George Dresher, 1788; Amos Lewis and George Dresher, 1792; Christopher Dresher and Jonathan Scout, 1810. Samuel Houpt was constable in 1767, James Spencer assessor in 1776, and Edward Burk collector.

At the present Gilkison's Corner, on the Bethlehem turnpike, Andrew Gilkison kept an inn from 1779 to 1786, and most probably later; hence the name of the place. This was on the store property now owned by David Dunnet. About a quarter of a mile above this place was a tavern formerly kept by Benjamin Daves. Paul Bower kept an inn in 1774, and Susanna Wright in 1779, which we are at present unable to locate, but very probably in this vicinity. In 1776, John Fitzwater, Jonathan Tyson, Joseph Detwiler and Lewis Rynear owned grist-mills, and Arthur Broades a fulling-mill, at the present village of Ambler.

Upper Dublin contains at present within its limits five houses of worship, namely': Puff's Lutheran,

Friends', Dunkard, Methodist Episcopal at Jarret- town and Baptist at Ambler. There are, besides, five private graveyards, belonging to the Fitzwater, Dresher, Whitcomb and Bergenstock families, and one on the McCormick property.

The large stone building used by Washington as his headquarters while the army lay in this vicinity is still standing in Upper Dublin, on the sonth side of Camp Hill, but a few yards from the Springfield line, and about half a mile from Whitemarsh. In the beginning of this century it was owned by Caleb Emlin, to which was then attached two hundred and thirty-six acres; after his decease, in 1810, it was sold in several tracts. The mansion and about one hundred and twenty acres were purchased by Mr. Stuckert, next by Mr. Frey in 1833, by John Fitzwater, and after his decease, in the fall of 1857, was purchased by the present owner, Charles T. Aimen, who has taken due care in its preservation. For its day it was cer- tainly a great affair, and even now not many mansions are built larger. It is of stone, seventy-five by thirty- five feet, two full stories in height, and to it was formerly attached a wing on its western end, contain- ing the kitchen. In making some repairs, over thirty years ago, it was deprived of its hip-roof, but otherwise has been very little changed. The hall is fifteen feet wide. The steps at the main front door are of fine soap- stone, neatly wrought, and the general appearance of the building denotes it to have been at the date of its erection a superior structure. Its walls are substan- tial, and with care could be made to last yet for a long time. While Washington was here the army was encamped on the hill to the north of the mansion, which was certainly a strong position. It is even yet principally covered with woods. The encampment lasted from October 20 to December 11, 1777, when they proceeded on their march to Valley Forge. On the night of December 5th, General Howe came hither from Philadelphia, by way of Chestnut Hill, with a view of surprising the camp ; but on seeing the position and unable to draw out the Americans, returned, by way of Abington and Jenkintown, to the city, the result proving the expedition a failure.

The Friends' Meeting-house is situated about half a mile northwest of Jarrettown, and was built in 1814 on a lot of ground presented for the purpose by Phebe Shoemaker. It is a one-story stone building, thirty-six by forty feet in dimensions. From its elevated posi- tion a fine prospect is afforded, towards the south of Edge Hill, for some distance, and the intervening country. The ground attached covers about two acres, on which are also erected several sheds for the accommodation of horses. About twenty yards froni the front-door is a horse-block, of stone, consisting of five steps to the top, four and a half feet from the ground and three and a half feet wide, now so rare as to be- come an object of interest to the antiquary. The graveyard covers nearly an acre, and seldom among Friends is one seen having so many white

marble tombstones, though rarely over a foot high and with brief inscriptions. The surnames found are Lu- kens, Teas, Rutter, Beans, Shoemaker, Lightfoot, Hawhurst, Hughs, Rich, Danenhower, Thomas, Gar- rigues, Cadwallader, Spencer, Fitzwater, Shaw, Wil- son, Reitf, Willard, Conard, Robinson, Kenderdine, Matlack, Dunnet, Sill, Tyson, Atkinson and Potts. The families originally composing the meeting were those of David Lukens, George Shoemaker, Naylor Webster, Joseph Kenderdine, Samuel Conard, Corne- lius Conard, Thomas Hallowell, Jacob Kirk, Levi Jarrett, Charles Thomas, Jesse Lukens, Phebe Shoe- maker, Daniel Shoemaker, Thomas Shoemaker, Eliza- beth Potts, George Dunnet, Jacob Reiff, Isaac Thomas, Atkinson Hughs, Michael Trump and Jonah Potts, now all deceased. A First-day school was started here in 1875, and has been the means of increasing the general attendance of the meeting ._

The German Baptist, or Dunkard, meeting-house is nearly a mile northeast of Ambler, on the Plymouth and Upper Dublin turnpike. It is a one-story stone building, twenty-eight by thirty-six feet in dimensions, and was built in 1840. The ground belonging to it is nearly an acre, of which the graveyard occupiesabout two-thirds. The tombstones contain the names of Reiff, Moore, Smith, Livezey, Gamble, Slingluff, Me- Cool, Jones, Sperry, Fry, Wentz, Souders, Detra, Lear, Ford, Walton, Bisson, Henry, Kneezel, Buchanan, Lightcap, Haycock, Wolfe, Collum, Fulmer and Far- inger. Before the erection of the meeting-house the congregation worshiped in a school-house in the vi- cinity. For some time it was a branch of the Ger- mantown Meeting, and was served by their ministers. Elder John Price was its first stated pastor. Caleb H. Price was elected and preached here until he went to the West. John Slingluff and others next sup- plied the pulpit for several years, or until about 1881, when Israel Poulson, from New Jersey, settled within its bounds and the charge was given him. Worship is held here every Sunday, the services being conducted in English.

The flourishing village of Ambler is situated in the western corner of the township, on the east side of the Wissahickon Creek, and near to the Gwynedd and Whitpain line. Its origin and prosperity have been chiefly owing to the North Pennsylvania Railroad, and only dating since its construction in 1856. The census of 1880 gives it a population of two hundred and fifty-one inhabitants, and it promises, from its pres- ent prosperity, ere long to add to the present number of boroughs in the county. In 1883 it contained one hotel, one hardware, one drug and two general stores, one lumber and two coal-yards, a grist-mill and about seventy houses. The Baptist Church here is a one- story stone building, of which the Rev. Mr. Hun- phreys is pastor. Upper Dublin post office was re- moved here from Gilkison's Corner several years ago, and has only been recently changed to Ambler. In December, 1880, this village, with a small portion of

Whitemarsh, Gwynedd and Whitpain adjoining, was formed into an independent school district, of which about one-half of the territory was included from Up- per Dublin. The public school building here is of stone, two stories in height, of which Lizzie Magee is teacher. For the school year ending June 1, 1882, it was open eight and a half months with an average at- tendance of forty-six pupils. There is here also a beneficial society, incorporated May, 1883,-Camp No. 215, of the Patriotic Sons of America,-and several manufacturing establishments. A newspaper was published for about six months, by Dr. Rose, called the Ambler Times, which was succeeded, in December, 1882, by The Ambler Gazette, which continues to flour- ish. In the south part of the village, beside the rail- road, is the extensive establishment of Keasbey & Mattison, manufacturing chemists, who employ about sixty hands, chiefly in the preparation of carbonate of magnesia and quinine. The business was commenced here in 1881, and they use several steam-engines, the largest of eighty horse-power. Their office in Phila- delphia is at 332 North Front Street. The First Na- tional Bank of Ambler was organized in May: 1884, with a capital of fifty-five thousand dollars; Benjamin P. Wertsner, president, and J. J. Houghton, cashier. A bank building was commenced in 1884, and is now nearly completed. To the east of the village is Ambler Park, at which, for several years, an agricultural exhi- bition has been held. The turnpike through this place was made in 1855, on what has been long known as the Butler road, and extends from the Three Tons to the borough of Conshohocken. The grist-mill owned in 1776 by Joseph Detwiler is now in possession of Ed- ward Plumły, on the west side of the Wissahickon. Arthur Broades liad a fulling-mill here, on Rose Val- ley Run, in 1776, since owned by the Ambler family, but no longer in operation. The track of the North Pennsylvania Railroad here was stated by the engi- neer to be one hundred and ninety feet above tide- water level. Should this in the future become a large town, it will possess, from its situation, excel- lent facilities for a water supply, so often found want- ing at growing places.
