WILLIAM PENN CROZER farmer, P.O. Tullytown, was born May 24, 
1827, in William Penn's brew-house, on the William Penn 
farm, in Penn's Manor, Bucks county.  He is a son of Robert 
Crozer, who was also born in Penn's brew-house.  The Penn 
farm has been in possession of the Crozer family for over 
one hundred years.   His mother was Grace Wright, a native 
of Bucks county.  Both his ancestors were among the earliest 
English settlers and belonged to the Society of Friends.  
The family originally came from France, and in 1712 went to 
Scotland.  Five brothers came to Philadelphia in 1723.  The 
male members of the family have usually followed farming.  
Robert Crozer died in 1866, and was the father of nine 
children.  Our subject attended school in his native 
township, also at Burlington and near Philadelphia, and 
chose farming as his occupation.  He was married in 1854 to 
Margaret B. Longshore, by whom he had:  Ellen (deceased) and 
Margaretta B., wife of James Watson.  His wife died in 1857 
and he was again married in 1861 to Anna Mary, daughter of 
Daniel Moon.  This lady is of English descent.  They have 
one child, Mercy M., wife of Eugene Wink.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Crozer are both members of the Society of Friends.  He is a 
republican politically.
