   CHARLES M. CADWALLADER farmer, P.O. Warrington, is a 
descendant of an old Welsh family, the pioneer of which came 
to this country many years ago.  His grandfather, Benjamin 
Cadwallader, was born in Montgomery county, and was a 
resident of Horsham township, afterward removing to 
Buckingham township, in this county, where he lived until 
shortly before his death, at Byberry, Philadelphia county, 
when he was about 80 years of age.  This was about fifty 
years ago.  He was married to Miss Hannah Bradfield, a 
native of Horsham, who died before her husband.  They had 
nine children:  Uree, Eli, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Yarley, 
Peter, Cyrus, David and John; all deceased.  Yarley was the 
father of Charles M.  He was born in Horsham, was married in 
Buckingham township, and lived in Byberry and Upper Dublin, 
where he owned farms, but five years before his death 
removed to the farm of Charles M., in this township, where 
he died in September, 1872, aged 80 years.  He was a farmer 
all his life; a member of the Society of Friends, and was an 
upright, conscientious man.  His wife was Christiana Moore, 
a native of New Jersey.  She died in November, 1879, aged 
nearly 85.  They had eleven children, of whom five died 
young, and one son, Peter, after reaching maturity.  Five 
now survive:  Mary, wife of Thomas Lightwood, living near 
Three Tons, Montgomery county; Howard in Norristown; 
Elizabeth, wife of Francis Diament, of Philadelphia; Sarah 
A., wife of Samuel Ely, living near Kansas City; and Charles 
M., who was born in Byberry, November 6, 1830.  He was 
reared on a farm, but when 18 years old learned the trade of 
miller, at which he worked for nine years, when he bought 
the farm, which has since been his home.  February 16, 1855, 
he married Anna, daughter of Charles Conard.  She was born 
February 16, 1830, in that part of Warwick township, now 
included in Buckingham.  To their union four children were 
born, one of whom died in childhood. The others are:  
Elizabeth, wife of George Corson, a farmer and lime burner, 
in Plymouth township, Montgomery county; Martha A. and 
Howard M., both of whom live with their parents.  Mr. 
Cadwallader and his family are members of the Society of 
Friends.  In politics he is a republican.
