at Hill Church, South Wales, Great Britain, landed in Philadelphia, Sunday May 
13th, 1832, came to Phoenixville, February 12th, 1833, and has been almost 
uninterruptedly a citizen of this town since. He was eminently a sober, a God 
fearing man, and upright in all his dealings with his fellow men.  As a member 
of the Baptist Church he was regular in his attendance and took an interest n 
all its doings.  He leaves three children, none of whom live here. He died
