   ELI CADWALLADER farmer, P.O. Warrington, Pa., is a son of 
Eli Cadwallader, who was born at Horsham and married Rachel, 
daughter of James Morris, of Doylestown township.  Eli 
learned the trade of a tanner at Horsham, and was of age 
when his parents went to Buckingham township.  He lived with 
his father until his marriage, when he rented farms, and 
after his father's death bought the old homestead, on which 
he lived until his death in 1863, in his eighty-first year.  
His wife died about two years before her husband, when 71 
years of age.  They had five children, all now living:  
James M., living on part of the old homestead in Buckingham 
township; Uree, widow of Haslett Gibson, living in 
Danborough, Plumstead township; Ann, widow of Samuel 
Trumbauer, living with a daughter in Philadelphia; Grace, 
wife of Moses Haldeman, of Plumstead township; and Eli, born 
January 19, 1834, in Buckingham township.  He lived with his 
father until he died, and after that bought the farm in this 
township which has since been his home.  He has never 
engaged in any occupation but farming, and has a large, 
well-cultivated farm.  He was married, September 8, 1870, to 
Sarah, daughter of George Knipe, of Pocona [sic] township, 
Monroe county.  She was born November 12, 1847.  They have 
five children, all living with their parents.  Their names 
are:  Washington, Mary, Ruberta, Sarah and Grant.   Mr. 
Cadwallader and his family are members of the Society of 
Friends.  His neighbors give him a high character.  In
