"The eldest son, Joseph Davis (father), was born in the city of Philadel-
phia in 1790, but passed his life in Chester county, dying in Tredyffrin
township in 1879, at the advanced age of eighty-nine years.  By occupation
he was a farmer and devoted most of his life to agricultural pursuits.  In
religion he was a member of the Society of Friends, and for a number of
years was a well known minister of that church, traveling and preaching in
various parts of the country.  He was a stainless character, and his life
was so uniformly in accord with his professions as to win the highest
esteem of all who knew him.  He was twice married.  In the autumn of 1824
he wedded Eleanor Stephens, a daughter of Stephen Stephens, of Tredyffrin
township, this county, and to them was born a family of four children, two
sons and two daughters: Sarah, who married Moses Walker; Susan, wedded
Lewis Walker, and is now deceased; Mordecai, the subject of this sketch;
and Stephen, deceased.  After the death of his wife, in 1846, he married
again, his second wife being Elizabeth Maule Peart.  He had no children
by his second marriage.
