   ASA CAREY (deceased) was a resident of Buckingham 
township, where he followed farming during the early part of 
his life.  He had seven children, of whom four lived to 
maturity: Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary, I. Warner, Susanna, T. 
Yardley and Samuel.   Only two of these are living, 
Elizabeth and Susanna, wife of Albert Thompson.   Mr. Carey 
was twice married, his first wife being Hannah Warner, who 
died leaving a large family of young children.  Mr. Carey 
also died while his children were yet young, Elizabeth, the 
oldest, being only 11 years old.  She and the rest of the 
children went to live with their grandfather Warner.  She 
remained with her grandparents until their death.  In 1869 
she moved to where she now lives.  At that time two of her 
brothers were living:  I. Warner and Samuel, and they 
remained with her until their death, when the property fell 
to her.  She owns a nice farm, well improved, which is 
worked by hired help.  Miss Carey is a very intelligent 
lady.
