   ISAAC EASTBURN, retired, P.O. Richboro, was born in 
Southampton township, near Scottsville, February 4, 1818, 
his parents being Joseph and Alice (Krusen) Eastburn. His 
mother's ancestors are from Holland, and it is supposed that 
the progenitors of his father came to the country in the 
time of William Penn. Benjamin Eastburn, grandfather of our 
subject, was born in Bucks county, where he followed 
farming. He married a Miss Newell. They died in Northampton 
township. Joseph Eastburn, father of Isaac, was reared in 
Northampton township, moved to Southampton, and lived there 
until he died. He married Alice Krusen, and they had eleven 
children, of whom our subject is the only one living. He was 
a farmer, but in the later years of his life kept store at 
Scottsville. He was a Presbyterian and died in 1844. Isaac, 
our subject, was reared in Southampton township to the age 
of 16, and then came to the "Bear" to learn the trade of a 
wheelwright with Nicholas Larzalere, where he remained five 
years, and then went to New Hope and carried on a shop for a 
short time. He then returned to Richboro and conducted a 
shop for about nine years. He then bought a farm at the 
upper end of the village, and commenced farming, but has 
lived retired since 1883. He was married December 28, 1843, 
to Miss Rachel Randall, of Richboro, daughter of Thomas and 
Elizabeth (Evans) Randall. Her father died in 1837, and her 
mother in 1867. The former is buried in the old Southampton 
Baptist burying ground, and the latter in the cemetery at 
Richboro. She is a member of the Reformed church. He is a 
republican politically.
