Joseph, his eldest son, was born January 21, 1773, and his father taught him the common branches of education, including surveying and algebra. While his father was making his first improvements on the Wyalusing, Joseph remained at home in Bucks County, in charge of the business. He learned the trade of a millwright. About the year 1793 he married Pamelia Ellicott, and soon after bought three hundred acres of land on the Susquehanna River, at the mouth of the Sugar Run. He moved his family to this place in 1795, and commenced building a saw mill in the fall of 1801, and finished it in the spring following. Soon afterwards he built a grist mill. His wife, Pamelia Ellicott, died 17 November, 1824. He afterwards married Laura (Whitcomb) Vose, a widow, by whom he had two sons. He had six sons by his first wife--no daughters. He died 11 June, 1829. Thomas, his eldest son, was educated partly by his father at home and partly in the common-school at Wyalusing. He learned his father's business of millwright, running mills and farming. He bought a farm and settled first at Browntown, Pa. But he remained there but a short time, when he sold out and came back to Sugar Run, and lived near his father. After the death of his father, he bought the homestead, and there lived until his death. He re-built the mills, and also erected a store-house, and engaged in the mercantile business. While quite a young man he was appointed a Justice of the Peace, and held that office during the most of his life. His mind was well informed on all general topics; his judgment was excellent, and he was noted for his morality, honesty and truthfulness. He was mild and quiet in his manners, but decided and firm in his purposes. Eunice, his wife, was handsome in her appearance and pleasing in her manners, possessed a lively and cheerful disposition, and was exceedingly energetic. She managed all the affairs of her household with economy and skill, and often assisted her husband in his business. When he was absent she could as readily manage the business out-doors as in the house. She was remarkably generous, and always had a bountiful hand for the poor, and was active in assisting her neighbors who were in sickness or trouble. Without making a public profession, both she and her husband exhibited the virtues of Christianity in her daily walk and character. She died 2 March, 1844. He died 14 August, 1855. They were both buried in the Terrytown Cemetery. Children, all born in Asylum, now Wilmot, Pa.: 1. Anna Pamelia, born 4 May, 1818; married Benjamin Goldsmith Horton, of Blooming Grove, Orange Co., N. Y., where she now resides.
