Research Notes:
educated in mathematics and the classics by the Rev. Dr. William Latta, a
Presbyterian pastor of the church attended by his father's family. Soon after
his marriage he settled on a farm near Coatesville, PA, but after a few years
he disposed of his farm and went to New Brighton, Beaver Co, PA, where he
engaged extensively in the lumber business, but lost everything he invested.
He then returned to Norristown, PA, and for many years engaged in teaching,
having for some time charge of the Norristown Academy of which his
father-in-law, Robert Hamill, was the founder. Soon after the removal of the
Academy building to make way for municipal improvements he moved to St.
George's, Delaware, and engaged in farming and the lumber business until a few
years before his decease at eighty-four years of age. He was identified with
the Presbyterian Church from his youth, having been for sixty years before his
death an elder in that church wherever he resided. [Ref: Helm TODD p381]
