ADEN CARVER farmer, P.O. Fallsington, was born in Buckingham 
township, this county, January 4, 1829.  His parents were 
John and Mary (Martendell) Carver.  The former was a native 
of this county and a direct descendant of John Carver, the 
governor of the Pilgrims in the Mayflower.  He was a farmer, 
and had a family of sixteen children, of whom fourteen grew 
to maturity, were married and reared families.  He died in 
Buckingham township at the age of 76 and his wife at the age 
of 91.  She was of Scotch descent and was born in New 
Jersey.  Aden, the fourteenth child, was educated in the 
schools of his native township and became a farmer, in which 
vocation he has been uniformly successful.  In 1850 he was 
marred to Sarah V., daughter of Charles and Sarah (Vansant) 
Howell.  She is of French origin.  The children of this 
union now living are:  Charles H., Mary A., wife of George
