Buckingham Township


E. HICKS FELL farmer, P.O. Doylestown, was born in 
Buckingham township, on the old homestead where he now 
lives, February 11, 1829, and is a son of Eli and Rachel 
(Carr) Fell, natives of Bucks county, and of English 
descent.  The grandfather, Seneca Fell, was a farmer, and 
inherited the farm on which E. Hicks now lives over one 
hundred years ago.  He built a part of the house that now 
stands on the farm, and died there.  Eli Fell was the next 
to own this farm, and lived and died on it.  He was the 
father of fourteen children:  Jane, Ruth, Eli, Rachel, 
Martha, Elias, Huldah, and Morris, living; and Eunice, Mary 
A., Unee, Watson, Grace, and James, deceased.  E. Hicks Fell 
was reared, and has always lived on the homestead, and is 
the owner of quite a nice little farm.  He was married 
October 16, 1861, to Mary E., daughter of Elwood and Sarah 
L. (Haines) Dudley.
