CANBY FAMILY.
Thomas Canby, one of the prominent men of Bucks county, Pennsylvania in
early colonial days, was born at Thorne, Yorkshire, England, in 1667, and was
son of Benjamin Canby, by his wife, a sister of Henry Baker, of Lancashire, with
whom Thomas Canby came to Pennsylvania in the "Vine," of Liverpool, which
arrived at Philadelphia, September 17, 1684. His father, Benjamin Canby, ap-
pears to have resided later at Liverpool, as Henry Baker, in his request to Falls
Monthly Meeting, 5mo. i, 1685, that the Meeting fix the time that his nephew,
Thomas Canby, should serve him in payment for the expenses of his passage to
America, and for six months during which "he rested with him at his charge,"
states that he was a "son of Benjamin Canby, late of Liverpoole." The meeting
fixed his term of service at five years. After the expiration of service to his
maternal uncle in Bucks county, he located near Abington, Philadelphia county,
and on October 27, 1693, married, under the auspices of Philadelphia Monthly
Meeting, Sarah Jarvis, and after residing for a few years near Robert Fletcher, in
Abington township, removed to Solebury township, Bucks county, where he pur-
chased an interest in the Mills near New Hope, and in 1717 purchased 444 acres
of land lying along the Buckingham line, where he resided until 1729, when he
purchased 200 acres at the intersection of the Old York road, with the Durham
road at the present village of Buckingham, where he resided until about 1740, and
then returned to his Solebury farm. He was clerk of Buckingham Meeting, at its
organization into a Monthly Meeting in 1720, and served for a number of years
as clerk and overseer, and also "had a gift in the Ministry." On 5mo. 6, 1741,
he took a certificate from Buckingham Meeting for himself and family to "New
Work Monthly Meeting in New Castle county," and located at Wilmington, but
remained less than a year, returning to his Solebury farm where he died Novem-
ber 20, 1742. He was commissioned a Justice of the Peace of Bucks county, and
Justice of the several courts thereof, December 2, 1719, and regularly recommis-
sioned until February 23, 1723, from which date to May 12, 1725, he was out of
commission, but after the latter date was regularly recommissioned until near
the time of his decease, the last commission of which we have record being No-
vember 22, 1738. Serving in the Provincial Assembly from Bucks county, in
1721 and 1722, he was again elected in 1730, 33 and 38; and was succeeded in
1739 by his son, Thomas Canby, Jr.
Thomas Canby was a man of sterling integrity of character and enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact, while his many acts
of charity and Christian kindness endeared him to the community in which he
lived.
Sarah Jarvis, first wife of Thomas Canby, died at Abington, April 8, 1708, and
he married, June 2, 1709, Mary Oliver, born in Radnorshire, Wales, December 9,
1677, fifth child of Evan and Jean Lloyd Oliver, who left Radnorshire, "about ye
beginning of ye 6 month 1682," and arrived at Upland (now Chester), Pennsyl-
vania, "ye 28th of ye 8th Month, 1682," according to a record in their own family
Bible. Mary (Oliver) Canby died in Solebury, Bucks county, March 26, 17201,
and on October 9, 1722, he married at Middletown, Jane Preston, a widow, who
survived him.

the first mill built within the corporate limits of the present city, located on the
Brandywine, about two hundred yards above the present bridge over that stream.
He was an active and successful business man, but died in the prime of his life
and usefulness, after a sudden and severe illness, November 30, 1754, in his
thirty-eighth year. He married at Wilmington, April 22, 1744, Elizabeth Shipley,
born in Leicestershire, England, in 1722, daughter of William Shipley, born in

nall. Robert Tatnall died in Leicestershire, England in the year 1715, leaving a
widow, Ann, and seven children, five of whom accompanied their mother to Penn-
sylvania in 1725, and settled at Darby, Pennsylvania. William Shipley had mar-
ried Mary Tatnall in England, and accompanied the family to Pennsylvania in
1725, and soon after settled at Ridley, Chester county, but removed to Wilming-
ton in 1735, and was the virtual founder of that town. His wife, Mary (Tatnall)

Marriott Canby, youngest son of William and Martha (Marriott) Canby, of
Wilmington, or as he came to be known, "Merritt" Canby, came to Philadelphia
when a youth to obtain a mercantile education, and became a prominent business
man of that city. About 1830, in partnership with Joseph Lovering, he engaged
in the business of sugar refining; their firm being the first to introduce, in Amer-
ica, the process of boiling sugar by steam in vacuum. He was successful in his
business operations, and in 1835 retired from business and returned to Wilming-
ton, where he became prominently connected with a number of important cor-
porate institutions, until his death, December 10, 1866.
Marriott or Merritt Canby married, May 20, 1830, Eliza Tatnall, a daughter of
Hon. Thomas Sipple, of Kent county, Delaware, born 1765, died 1798, Treasurer
of State of Delaware, 1787-98, by his wife Ann, daughter of Joseph and Eliza-
beth (Lea) Tatnall; granddaughter of Garrett Sipple, of Kent county, by his
wife, Ehzabeth Berry, a descendant of Richard Preston, of "Preston on Patuxet,"
Maryland, and a cousin of Samuel Preston, Provincial Councillor of Pennsyl-
vania; her grandfather, William Berry, being many years a member of Assembly
of the "Three Lower Counties." Waitman Sipple, the great-grandfather of Eliza
Tatnall Sipple, is said to have come from Virginia to Kent county, where he pur-
chased land in 1729, and died in 1762. He married at Duck Creek Meeting of
Friends in 1724, Mary, daughter of Nathaniel and Elinor Hunn, born October
16, 1706, died 1774. Eliza Tatnall Sipple, in a memorandum still in possession
of her descendants, say of her father's family : "All I can learn of my father's
family is that in the early settlement of Virginia, an ancestor by name of Jared
I078 CAN BY
Sipple took up lands there. Either he or his sons or grandsons becoming dissatis-
fied, removed to Maryland, then to Murderkill Hundred, Kent county, Delaware.
Two brothers, Waitman and Jared or Garrett, settled near each other. Waitman
Sipple was the father of Garret Sipple who was my grandfather. Garret Sipple
married Elizabeth Berry of a well known and highly respected family of Kent
county, and had three children, Elizabeth, Lydia and Thomas Sipple, my father.
There appears to have been much landed property in the family, grazing and
grain farms, &c., besides much cattle and servants. The lands of my grandfather
joined the lands of the Dickinson family, — John Dickinson, at one time Governor
of the State. I have endeavored to discover what could be attributed to my
father's family either good or evil. I cannot learn anything to their discredit but
much of virtue, truth and manliness. My maternal ancestors were the Tatnall
and Lea family. My father dying when I was two and a half years of age, my
mother, Ann Tatnall, returned to the home of her father, Joseph Tatnall, in Wil-
mington, and I lost sight of my father's family." Her mother married (second)
John Bellach.
Jonathan Sipple of this family was coroner of Kent county from 1769 to the
organization of the "Three Lower Counties" into the State of Delaware, in 1776.
A newspaper notice of the death of Hon. Thomas Sipple, is as follows :
"Wilmington, Dec. 8th. 1798.
"Died. On the 4th inst. at his seat near Dover, Thomas Sipple Esq., Treasurer of the
State. The premature death of this excellent man has deprived this community of a most
valuable citizen. His attention to the duties of his office; his punctuality in discharging the
pi.b ic engagements; his civility and compliance to those with whom his official station con-
nected him; and his attachment to the constitution of his country united all men, and all
parties in the Legislature, annually in appointing him to a station which he filled with so
much applause. In his private life he was not less amiable and useful. The Poor and the
distressed always found in him a bountiful and generous assistance; and the humanity of
his heart encircled every child of misfortune. In his still more intimate and dearer con-
nection, the sincerest love of his relatives and the warmest attachment of his numerous
friends gave the most unquestionable proof of the tenderness and benevolence of a Christian
gentleman."

more Railroad, and was the first president of the company. He invested largely
in real estate in Baltimore and also in western lands and was one of the prominent

proprietors of the Brandywine Mills, but in 1873 came to Philadelphia and took
a position in the counting house of Alexander G. Cattell & Company, and in 1877
