   WILLIAM H. STUCKERT farmer, P.O. Warrington, Pa., is a 
son of Henry Stuckert, who came from Germany in the last 
century, and about 1812 bought a farm of two hundred and 
thirty acres.  He died in 1836, in his seventieth year.  His 
wife was Elizabeth Bennett, a native of England.  She died 
seven years after her husband.  Before coming here, Henry 
Stuckert was a baker in Philadelphia.  His children were:  
George and John, who died in Philadelphia; Jacob, who died 
in Trenton, N. J.; Louisa, widow of George Jamison, now 
living in Hatboro; Anna Maria, wife of Jackson Beaumont, of 
Solebury township; and William H., the third son, born 
October 2, 1816.  His father died before he was of age, and 
he had charge of the estate for seven years, when, on its 
division, he became the owner of a part of the farm, the 
other part going to his brother Jacob, who sold it several 
years later.  It was subsequently purchased by Mr. Stuckert. 
 In 1841 Mr. Stuckert was married to Rachel, daughter of 
Amos Scarborough, of this township.  She was born September 
18, 1819, and died February 14, 1880.  To their union six 
children were born:  Henry Clay, who lives on part of the 
home farm; Sarah E., wife of Dr. Abraham H. Clayton, of 
Richboro, Northampton township; Amos, who resides with his 
father; William, a lawyer in Doylestown; John C., an 
attorney in Bristol, in this county; and Frederick A., 
deceased.  Mr. Stuckert has been a farmer all his life, and 
until 1874 lived on the place where he was born, but at that 
time rented the farm to his son, and removed to a farm which 
he had bought in Doylestown township.  After the death of 
his wife he returned to his old home, living there with his 
son Amos.  He is one of the oldest and most respected 
citizens of Warrington township.
