JOSEPH J. LOVETT farmer, P.O. Emilie, was born July 7, 1836, 
in the house where he now resides, on the farm in Bristol 
township.  This farm has been in the possession of the 
family for over two hundred years.  The pioneer of the 
family came over with William Penn in 1682, and Joseph J. is 
of the sixth generation in descent from this ancestor in 
Bucks county.  He holds the original deed from William 
Penn. 

 The family were Quakers and usually followed farming. They 
were of English origin and settled first in Falls township.  
Our subject's maternal ancestors were descendants of the 
Holland Dutch, and also early settlers of Bucks county.  
Joseph J. was reared here, attending school in Bristol 
township, and has made farming the business of his life.  He 
was married November 13, 1879, to Fannie, daughter of Joseph 
and Margaret Ann (Taylor) Janney.  Her parents were of 
Holland and English origin.  Mr. and Mrs. Lovett are members 
of the Society of Friends.  In politics he is a republican.  
Financially he has been successful.
