   AARON TWINING farmer, P.O. Wrightstown, was born November 
29, 1821, and is a son of Jacob and Margery (Croasdale) 
Twining.  His grandparents were Stephen and Mary (Wilkinson) 
Twining. Stephen was a son of John and Elizabeth (Kirk) 
Twining. John was a son of Stephen and Abigail (Young) 
Twining.  Stephen, Sr., with his father, William, came from 
Eastham, Mass., in 1695, bought a large tract of land in the 
lower end of Newtown township, lying west of Newtown creek 
and adjoining the Neshaminy.  William and his father, 
William who are believed to be the first emigrants of the 
Twining name to this country, came from England about the 
year 1640 to Cape Cod, Mass., removed to Eastham, Mass., in 
1645, and from thence William, Jr., and his son, Stephen, 
came to Newtown, Bucks county, in 1695. The grandfather of 
Aaron was a farmer of Newtown, and his son, Jacob, was also 
a farmer.  The latter had the following children:  Stephen, 
Elisha, Charles and Mary A. (Mrs. Eleazer Wilkinson), 
deceased; and Croasdale, Isaac, Aaron and Deborah (Mrs. 
Charles R. Scarborough), living.   Aaron has always resided 
in Newtown and occupies a part of the old homestead of his 
father and grandfather.  He married Emily, daughter of 
Charles and Anna (Smith) Trego, a descendant of Peter Trego, 
who settled in Bucks county in 1682. Two children have been 
born to this union:  Fannie M. (deceased) and Anna H.
