ABRAHAM K. HIGH farmer, P.O. Dublin, is a grandson of Daniel 
High, a native of Chester county, born October 25, 1773, and

this township, and they were married in Chester county.  She

of John Bleam, in Plumstead; David, who makes his home with 
Abraham K.; and Jacob, father of Abraham K., who was the 
eldest, and was born in Chester county April 17, 1804, and 
died September 2, 1883.  His parents came to this county
