Taken From the Henry Republican November 4, 1880
The subject of this sketch was born Sept. 16, 1794, in Chester county, Pa., of Quaker parentage, consequently he inherited a birthright in the time honored society of friends, which he has maintained in good faith up to the present time. He married Hannah Brown in 1818, and to this time was born five children, Joshua B., David, Hannah, Margaret and Thomas; with his family he moved to Bellmont county, Ohio, in 1826, and in that year his wife died.
In 1827 he married Anna Morris in Bellmont county, Ohio, who still survives, and to this union 9 children have been born, Ruth Anna, Rebecca, Sarah, Elizabeth, Morris, Mary, Oliver, Amos and Laura; six of these children are still living. We believe that all of his first wife's children married in Ohio, before immigrating to this state.
He came to Putnam county, Ill., in 1851, and settled on the wild prairie, about two miles north of Magnolia, in what is now known as the Quaker neighborhood, and to that society he has been one of the main pillars ever since.
He is the father of 14 children, 10 of whom are still living; 84 grandchildren, of whom 67 are still living and 37 great grandchildren, or a total of 135 descendants.
A reunion was held at the residence of Mrs. Rose Wilson in this township on the 24th of Sept. 1880, to celebrate his 86th birthday. About 70 of the family were present, consisting of all the living children, with their husbands and wives, and many of the grand and great grandchildren. A table was spread large enough for all, and well filled with all that an epicure could ask by the ladies of the reunion. At this table the aged couple were seated, and around them their middle aged children and many grand and great grandchildren, from infancy up. Many were in the reminiscences and retrospectives in the family conversation, yet the day passed off pleasantly, and all went away satisfied that it was well to be there. - Wenona Index.
