   ALBERT LIVEZEY retired P.O. Lumberville, was born in 
Solebury, September 12, 1811, and is a son of Robert and 
Sarah (Paxson) Livezey.  The Livezeys are of Anglo-Saxon 
origin, the first of the name to settle in Bucks county 
being Daniel Livezey.  He married Margery Croasdale, from 
which marriage all the Livezeys of Bucks county (except 
those living at Doylestown) trace their genealogy.  Daniel 
Livezey settled in Southampton township, about 1781, and 
died there in 1796, leaving eight children.  Robert, the 
eldest son, was born at Fox Chase, Philadelphia county, 
February 22, 1780, and at the age of 16 removed to Solebury, 
to learn the carpenter's trade.  In 1804 he married Sarah 
Paxson, daughter of Abraham Paxson, and settled on his 
father-in-law's farm.  In 1814 he removed to the old 
Townsend place, and lived there until his death in 1864.  He 
had eight children:  Cyrus (deceased), Elizabeth (Mrs. Hiram 
Jones), Ann (Mrs. Samuel Rice), Albert, Allen, Samuel 
(deceased), Elias and Abram.   Albert Livezey married Mrs. 
Hannah F. Kirk, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Fulmer) 
Bright, of Abington, Pa.   Mr. Livezey has been in the 
mercantile trade at Center Bridge and Lumberville for 
thirty-three years, and ten years prior served as clerk in a 
store.  He was postmaster of Lumberville from 1841 to 1848, 
and of Center Bridge from July 1, 1860, to April 1, 1869, 
and again at Center Bridge from October 1, 1883, to April 1, 
1887, when he resigned.  Between his commercial life at 
Lumberville and his return to it at Center Bridge, he was a 
farmer on a farm of fifty-six acres, near the former place, 
for nine years, and at Center Bridge, in addition to 
storekeeping, was a horticulturist of more than ordinary 
ability.  He is a man of strict integrity and retired from 
business with an unblemished reputation.  April 1, 1887, he 
again selected Lumberville as his residence.  He has for 
many years been correspondent of the "Doylestown Democrat."  
He is a member of the Society of Friends, and in politics a 
democrat.
