Book Description
Excerpt from The Library of American Biography, Vol. 4 In the year last mentioned, Mr. Wayne mar ried the daughter of Benjamin Penrose, an emi nent merchant in Philadelphia; after which he again returned to Chester county, resumed his business of surveying, and in the pauses of its exercise devoted himself to agriculture. In this last employment he found much to gratify his taste, and not a little to call forth his care and industry but the time was now fast approaching, when occupations of this peaceful and unambitious character must give way to Others of deeper and more commanding interest, involving the security of life, liberty, and property.
