   JOHN H. STACKHOUSE farmer, P.O. Davisville, Pa., is a 
grandson of Thomas Stackhouse, who was a farmer in 
Warminster township, where he and his wife died.  They had 
three sons and four daughters.  The oldest son, Charles, the 
father of John H., was born in Warminster and married Hannah 
Heston of Wrightstown township.  After his marriage he 
removed to Horsham, Montgomery county, where he bought a 
farm on which he lived for forty years, dying there in 
February, 1881.  He was a member of the Friends' meeting in 
Horsham for many years, and was an upright man, who 
commanded the respect of the community.  His wife, Hannah, 
is still living on the old homestead, and is in her 
eightieth year.  Their children were: Thomas, who lives in 
Horsham; and John H., who was born on the old homestead.  He 
was brought up to farming, and three years after his 
marriage removed to the farm, which has since been his home. 
 On November 22, 1866, he married Rachel P., daughter of 
Benjamin and Mary Stackhouse, who were descendants of an old 
family of Langhorne, Middletown township.  Benjamin 
Stackhouse is deceased, but his widow yet lives.  His was a 
member of the Langhorne meeting of the Society of Friends, 
and was an upright, conscientious man, standing well among 
his neighbors.  Mrs. Stackhouse was born in Langhorne.  Her 
family are distant relatives of that of her husband.  They 
have two sons:  John J. and Howard, both living with their 
parents.  Mr. Stackhouse is a member of the Horsham meeting, 
and is regarded by his neighbors as a man of undoubted 
probity.
