This Stone was erected by his Companions In Arms The Pennsylvania State Society of The Cincinnati, July 4th. A.D. 1809, Thirty Fourth anniversary of The Independence of the United States, an Event which constitutes the most Appropriate Eulogium Of an American Soldier and Patriot.

Upon the centre of the outer line at Valley Forge stands a recently erected noble equestrian statue of the general. It is where he stood on that hallowed campground and the place he held upon many a field of battle. There is no commonwealth in America but has a county or town bearing his name, and one of the most inspiring lyrics of the Civil War tells how "The bearded men are marching in the land of Anthony Wayne."

In appearance General Wayne was above what is termed the middle stature and was well proportioned. His hair was dark, his forehead high and handsomely formed. His eyes were dark hazel, intelligent, quick and penetrating. His nose inclined to be aquiline. His was a bold spirit, and no man either in civil or military affairs was potent enough to give him affront with impunity. He was frank, open, and vigorous and did not hesitate to say "damn." At the same time he was almost sentimental in his affections and attachment to his wife and little son and daughter. He lived well and drank tea as well as wine. His writings show a philosophical tendency and he wrote to his son, "let integrity, industry and probity be your guides." Exemplary in the neatness of his apparel, we find him ordering:

One pair of elegant gold epaulets, superfine buff sufficient to face two uniform coats, with hair and silk, four dozen best yel

low gilt coat buttons, plain and buff colour lining suitable to the facing of one coat.

He was attended by a body servant, carriage and horses and took table linen and napkins with him. The courtly Mrs. Byrd, after he had been at Westover, writes:

I shall ever retain the highest sense of your politeness and humanity, and take every opportunity of testifying my gratitude.

The general's children were Isaac and Margaretta. Isaac was born at Waynesborough in 1768 and lived to the ripe old age of eighty-four. He was educated at Dickinson College and studied law with William Lewis, Esquire, in Philadelphia, being admitted to the bar in 1794. He resided at Waynesborough and married Elizabeth Smith, August 25, 1802. Isaac Wayne was a Federalist and was elected by that party a member of the Assembly in 1800 and 1801. He went to the State senate in 1806 and 1810, and in 1814 was nominated by his party for Governour and for member of Congress from Chester and Montgomery Counties, but was not elected. He ran again for Congress in 1822 with James Buchanan and Samuel Edwards as his colleagues. He was elected but declined to serve and retired from political life in 1824. Isaac Wayne had many of the qualities of his father whom he worshipped. In 1812 he raised a regiment of cavalry and was elected colonel. They were in the field during the war but lacked opportunity for active service. None of the colonel's five children left descendants and the family has been carried on through his sister Margaretta Wayne, who married William

Richardson Atlee. Their daughter, Mary, married Issachar Evans and a son, William, changed his name to Wayne at the death of his uncle Isaac who bequeathed Waynesborough to him. The son of this William Wayne is still seated at Waynesborough, where he looks out on the old estate—a cultivated farm, comfortable homestead, and picturesque woodland-situated on the edge of the beautiful Chester Valley and stretching in the far distance to the Schuylkill.

SCHUYLKILL TOWNSHIP, CHESTER
MOORE-PENNYPACKER

UDGE MOORE of Moore Hall was one of the highly picturesque characters of Pennsylvania life in the highly picturesque eighteenth century. Not a little did he add to the spice of existence in that stirring period of our history. His personality was always striking but doubly so when in his own peculiar setting on the estate that takes its name from him, where he lived in baronial style, surrounded and waited upon by his many slaves and redemptioners, and lorded it over the whole countryside.

Not far from Phoenixville in Chester County, Moore Hall stands on high ground overlooking the Schuylkill River close by the mouth of Pickering Creek. Here he built, in 1722, or rather his father built for him as a gift, a frame house that gave place a little later to the substantial stone mansion still standing. In general, it answered the description of other countryseats, such as Stenton or Hope Lodge, built about the same date. Unfortunately, its appearance was totally changed not many years since when it was subjected to extensive repairs and alterations. No one can regard it, however, even in its modernised state, without being reminded of the dominating presence of the masterful old Loyalist who dwelt there till a full ripe age, faithful to the very end in his allegiance to the British Crown.

Descended of an ancient Cavalier family, the Hon

ourable John Moore, who came hither in 1688, was sometime King's collector of the port of Philadelphia, attorney-general of the Province, and judge of the Admiralty Court. He had seven children, one of whom, born in 1699, was William, the Judge Moore of Moore Hall. At the age of nineteen, William Moore was sent to Oxford to complete his education and graduated there in 1719. On the occasion of his marriage in 1722, his father settled upon him the house and surrounding plantation of twelve hundred acres by the banks of the Pickering Creek, where he thenceforward made his home and dwelt till his death in 1783.

His wife was the Lady Williamina, daughter of David, third Earl of Wemyss, who had accompanied her brother when he fled to this country in consequence of his connexion with one of the Jacobite uprisings. From the union of Judge Moore and the Lady Williamina, many Philadelphia families trace lines of descent, among them the Bonds, Cadwaladers, Rawles, Smiths, Whelens, the Hobarts of Pottstown, the DuPonts of Delaware, the Goldsboroughs of Maryland, and sundry members of the German and English nobility.

Lady Williamina seems to have been blessed not only with remarkable personal beauty but with most sterling qualities of character as well. She was greatly beloved by her children and husband, who, in his will wherein he leaves her all his estate, paid her a deep tribute when he wrote of her:

Never frightened by the rude rabble, or dismayed by the insolent threats of the ruling powers-happy woman, a pattern
