Children of Jacob and Christiana (Purse11) Strawn:

1 XLIV Strawn Family 1. LANCELOT STRAUGHAN, the first American ancestor of the Strawn family of Upper Bucks, is said to have been a native of Wales. There has been much speculation among the descendants and local historians as to the proper spelling of his name. The above form is believed to be the manner in which he himself spelled it. The name is frequently spelled on the early records as Strawhen. The will of the widow of Lancelot Straughan is written in the name of Mary Strawhen, but so far as we can learn none of her children wrote it in that form and practically all the descendants have used the name in its present form, Strawn. Tradition relates that Lancelot Straughan was a native of Wales and came to this country in search of adventure in the wilderness of Pennsylvania during the first decade of the eighteenth century. He married about 1715 Mary (Buckman) Cooper, and died in Middletown Township, Bucks County, early in 1720, letters of administration being granted to his widow on June 10, Mary (Buckman) Cooper, the wife of Lancelot Straughan, was born in the Parish of Billinghurst, County of Sussex, England, 9 mo. (November) 23, She came to Pennsylvania with her parents, \Valiant and Sarah Buckman, in the Ship Welcome, in 1682, with William Penn, the founder. William Buckman died in Bucks County in 10 mo., 1716, leaving a will dated 2 mo. 4, 1716, which contained the following clause. " ITEM I give unto my daughter Mary Strawhen Fifty Shillings current money, to be payed 12 months after my decease and to her five children, Ruth, Sarah, William, Henry and John, fifty shillings apiece to be paid to them respectively when they arrive at twenty-one years of age." Mary Buckman married in 1706 Henry Cooper of Newtown, Bucks County. He died in 1710 leaving her with five small children, William, Henry, John, Sarah and Ruth. The family were members of the Society of Friends before coming to America, and the Coopers were also Friends. Mary Cooper was disowned by the Society on her marriage to Lancelot Straughan and probably never reunited with the Society. Her daughter Sarah married first Joseph Strickland, a Friend, in 1727, and second in 1737 Jonathan Abbott. The other daughter Ruth Cooper married Denes Purse! of Dover, Kent County, Delaware, a son of Thomas Pursell, both father and son being natives of Ireland. Denes Pursel (as he wrote the name) on January 22, 1732, transferred his interest in a large tract of 532

2 STRAWN FAMILY 533 land in Kent County, Delaware, to his brother, Daniel PurseII, in exchange for a tract of land owned and occupied by Daniel in Wrightstown Township, Bucks County. He later removed to New Jersey and little is known of his history, but he and his brother Thomas are supposed to be the ancestors of the Pursell family of Upper Bucks. After the death of her second husband Lancelot Straughan, Mary Strawhen resided with her daughter Ruth. Her will, dated June 7, 1738, at Bethlehem, County of Hun terdon, and Province of New Jersey, was probated September 10, 1740, and it gives specific legacies of forty shillings each to her five childr i by Henry Cooper, and the residue of her estate to her son Jacob Strawn, whom she names as her executor. 2. JACOB STRAWHEN 2 (Lancelot'), only child of Lancelot and Mary (Buckman) Strawn, was born in Middletown Township, Bucks County, in the year He probfaxotkforwrgeni ably removed with his Mother and half sister to Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and seems to have resided there until 1749, when he removed with his family to Haycock Township, Bucks County, Pa., and settled on a tract of 255 acres for which a deed was made to him three years later. The family became members of the Richland Monthly Meeting of Friends, and the names and dates of birth of nine of his twelve children, beginning with William, born 11 mo. 17, 1749, appear on the records of that meeting. Jacob Strawn was prominently identified with the affairs of the Great Swamp district. At the formation of the BucksCounty Comm ittee of Safety on December 15, 1774, he was selected as the representative of Haycock Township on that committee. When it became apparent that the colony had determined to defend their rights by force of arms, Jacob Strawn and Thomas Foulke, the representative from Richland, declined further service as members of the Committee of Safety, alleging that their conscience prevented them from taking part in some of the proceedings in which the committee were required to participate. He died on his farm in Haycock, in He purchased in 1767 about 140 acres adjoining the homestead at Strawntown. He sold some of this land and died seized of 350 acres thereof. Jacob Strawn married about 1741 Christiana Pursell, said to have been a daughter of Daniel Pursell, brother to Dennis, who married the half sister of Jacob Strawn and of a family prominently identified with the upper river townships of Bucks County. She seems to have been nicknamed "Staunchy" and her name appears in that form upon the Richland records. It was probably a corruption of her given name, but tradition relates that it was acquired by her by reason of her stocky build. She died in Haycock in 1807.

He was disowned by Richland Monthly Meeting 1 mo. 17, 1782 for his participation in the war. He married, 8 mo. 12, 1781, Rachel Reed, daughter of Captain John Reed, an officer in the Revolutionary Army from New Jersey, and his wife, Thankful Honawell, and sister to Jeremiah Reed, who married his sister Jerusha. Rachel was born 7 mo. 1, 1763, and died 4 mo. 2, Isaiah had learned the blacksmith trade and followed that vocation in Haycock until his removal with his family to Turkey Foot Township, now Somerset County, Pa., which occurred soon after his marriage. He carried on his trade in Turkey Foot until the spring of 1817 when he sold out and moved overland to Knox County, Ohio, and located on a farm previously purchased where the town of Martinsburg now stands. It was then a primeval forest but when, cultivated made a fine farm which he improved. In 1837 he sold his farm and removed to Florid Township, Putnam County, Illinois, and purchased a finely improved farm adjoining that of his son Jeremiah, and lived thereon until his death. He and his wife became membe-s of the Methodist Episcopal Church soon after their marriage, and their family were reared in that faith. Hon. Perry A. Armstrong, his great-grandson, says of him: "Isaiah Strawn never had a lawsuit or made an active enemy. He took no interest in local politics and never sought or held an office except one collector of taxes. Too generous to oppress the poor, he marked their taxes paid upon the tax roll but had to sell a whole pen full of his fat hogs to make up the shortage. This discouraged all further office holding. His lips were never stained with tobacco nor did they utter profane or really vulgar language. Liquors he kept, as was the custom in those days, as a means of showing hospitality to visitors, but he never tasted it himself. He never went in debt. 'Pay as you go' was his favorite maxim and rule of his life. What he bought he paid for and what he could hot pay for he did not buy even though he might need it ever so much. No man ever held the note of this Isaiah Strawn."
