 Bucks.1905.V3.636-732  History of Bucks County 

 J. ANDREW FRENCH. The French family in Bucks county is of Welsh lineage. 1 he progenitor in America was Andrew French, who came to the new world when this country was still numbered among the colonial possessions of Great Britain and settled in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. Andrew French (2), his son, was born and reared in Montgomery county and in early life learned the wheelwright's trade, which he followed for many years. In 1799 he removed to Branchtown, Philadelphia, where he made a permanent settlement. He was distinctively a man of affairs and one who wielded a wide influence, recognized as an important factor in molding public thought and action in his community. He was a staunch Democrat, and in 1816 was elected to. the Pennsylvania legislature where he capably served for one term, leaving the impress of his individuality upon the early laws of the state. Questions affecting the commonwealth and the nation were of deep interest to him and he was a broad-minded, public-spirited citizen whose intelligently directed effort proved of far-reaching oenctit. His spirit of justice was recognized as one of his strong characteristics, and therefore he was often called upon to act as arbitrator in settling disputes and adjusting difficulties between neighbours, thus^ saving the expense of litigation and more than that, often thus saving friendships, which, had they been broken, might often have brought: on life-long bitterness of feeling. He has been reared in the Presbyterian church and was ever a most honourable and upright man. He married Rachel Harper, who was born in this state, and was a lady of intelligence and culture, belonging to one of the prominent families of Pennsylvania, connected with the Friends' meeting. Andrew and Rachel French became the parents of eight children : Samuel, who engaged in school teaching and later in merchandising; William (3), Martha, wife of Stephen Whiteman; Elizabeth and Jane, who died unmarried; Charles, Ann, and Sarali, who married B. Medary. William French (3), son of Andrew French (2^, was born in Montgomery county and was reared under the parental roof. He learned the wheelwright's trade with his father and worked as a journeyman until after his marriage, when he purchased Bull's mill in Chester county, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the manufacture of lumber and the grinding of grist. He located there m 1828 and conducted the mills successfully until 1834, when he and his brother purchased a lumber business at Torresdale, which they afterward sold out. In 1835 William French came to Bucks county and bought one hundred and sixty acres of land, on which his grandson, J. Andrew French, now resides. There were meagre improvements upon the place, but he soon began the development and cultivation of the farm and his labours wrought a speedy transformation in its appearance. The old stone house and barn which were on the farm when it came into his possession are still in use, but he also built a large modern residence and added other equipments in keeping with the most modern methods of farming at that time. He placed this under a good state of cultivation, and derived from his labours a good income. His political views were in accord with Democratic principles. William French married Charlotte Medary, a native of Bucks county, and a daughter of Jacob Medary, a tailor by trade and later a farmer. He died at Milestown. He had but two children, the younger being Bennett, who followed farming in early life and subsequently became a merchant. The elder child Charlotte became the wife of William French. Mr. French died in 1858, at the age of sixty-seven years, and his wife, long surviving him, died in 1892, in the ninety-second year of her age. She was a member of the Baptist church. Their children were : Bennett M. (4) ; Edmund, who owns a portion of the original French homestead, and now, retired, lives with J. Andrew French ; Andrew, who died at the age of twenty-one years ; and Albert, now of Hatboro, Pennsylvania. Bennett M. French was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, and with his parents came to Bucks county, where he passed the days of his childhood and youth in the usual manner of farmer lads, gaining practical experience of the farm work so that when he entered upon his active business career he was well equipped with a thorough understanding of the best methods of farming. He and his brother Edmund purchased the old homestead and divided the property. Public honours or office had no attraction for him, but he supported the Republican party by his ballot. He married Miss Elizabeth Hawkins, who was born in Abingdon township, Montgomery county, a daughter of John and Elizabeth Hawkins, her father a prominent farmer, widely known and highly respected. The children of the Hawkins family are : Mary A., wife of James Baird ; Josephine, who died at the age of eighteen years ; Mrs. Elizabeth French ; Amanda, wife of R. Robb; William H., a farmer.; Leslie N. and Albert F., who carry on farming ; Rebecca, wife of A. Tomlinson ; and Lydia A. The children of Bennett and Elizabeth (Hawkins) French are J. Andrew and Amanda. The father died August 24, 1886, at the age of fifty-nine years, and the mother June 13, 1900. Both were devoted members of the Baptist church. J. Andrew French was born on the old family homestead where he yet resides, and having acquired his education directed his energies to the improvement of the place. He now carries on general farming and keeps the place in excellent condition, so that it presents a most attractive appearance which indicates the careful supervision of a progressive owner.
