Notes
1981 book:
When all of his brothers were of legal age, Benjamin purchased from them the western
portion of his father's farm, containing 71 acres and a stone house, probably though
not certainly his father's house. Benjamin added to his farm by making purchases from
his brother Daniel (1E5). In 1782, Benjamin moved to Radnor Twp., Chester (now
Delaware) Co., Pa.
Ann's sister Jane married Benjamin's brother Jacob (1E8) and another sister
is an ancestor of Richard Milhous Nixon.
Benjamin was of affectionate disposition; in his will, he directed that each of
his grandchildren be given a large-sized Bible. One of these Bibles is presently in the
possession of the author.
After Benjamin died, Ann moved to Westtown, Pa., to live with her daughter
Zillah.
Benjamin died after a severe illness of eleven days. Ann was blind for many
years before she died.
