SUSAN PARRY, M. D. of Doylestown, Pa., daughter of Charles 
and Phebe (Fell) Parry, was born 12th mo, 10th, 1826, in a 
rural homestead of the Parrys in Buckingham, one mile 
northwest of Holicong.  Her maternal ancestors came from 
England, and located in the woods of Buckingham two hundred 
years ago.  This first homestead of the Fells remained in 
the family.  Her paternal ancestor, Thomas Parry, came from 
Caernarvonshire, Wales, about the same period, settled on a 
mill property one mile northeast of Willow Grove, and this 
first home also, though not at present in the name, is still 
in the family.  Through all the generations adown these two 
hundred years her ancestors have (every one) been members of 
the religious Society of Friends.  She graduated at the 
"Women's Medical college," in Philadelphia, in 1861, and has 
practiced medicine in Doylestown about a score of years.
