Isaac Hicks married (second) October 20, 1792, Mary (GILBERT) YOUNG, widow of Edward YOUNG, of Philadelphia, who was born August 3, 1757, and died at Newtown February 22, 1812.

Edward HICKS, youngest son of Isaac and Catharine, was born at Attleboro (now Langhorne, then know as Four-Lanes-End) April 2, 1780. His mother dying when he was but eighteen months old, he was left to the care of her faithful servant Jane, a colored woman. His father’s home was entirely broken up by the confiscation of all the property belonging to his father, Gilbert HICKS, and this, with sickness and deaths in his family, reduced him for a season to a great strait. He later secured a home for his infant son in the family of David TWINING, where he remained until thirteen years of age. Edward HICKS in his "Memoirs" gives abundant testimony of his appreciation of the kindness received at the hands of his adopted mother, Elizabeth TWINING. In April, 1793, he was apprenticed to the coach-making trade with William and Henry TOMLINSON, at Four-Lanes-End, where he remained until 1800, when he set up business for himself. In the autumn of 1801 he entered the employ of Joshua C. CANBY, then a coach-maker at Milford (now Hulmeville) and remained a resident of that village until April, 1811, when he removed to Newtown, Pennsylvania. He became a member of Middletown Monthy Meeting of Friends in the spring of 1803, and later became a prominent minister in the Society, traveling extensively in the ministry. like his distinguished cousin, Thomas HICKS, he possessed considerable artistic talent, and a number of his paintings of high merit are still preserved. He was an ardent temperance advocate, and claimed to have built the first house in Bucks county erected without the use of intoxicating liquors, in 1804. He married 11 mo. 17, 1803, Sarah WORSTALL, daughter of Joseph and Susanna (HIBBS) WORSTALL. He died in Newtown 8 mo. 23, 1849, and his widow died 12 mo. 30, 1855. Their children were: Mary, born 10 mo. 12, 1804, died 2 mo. 7, 1880, unmarried, Susan, born 11 mo. 9, 1806, married 5 mo. 17, 1832, John CARLE, Jr., of New York, and died in New York, 1 mo. 24, 1872; Elizabeth T., born 8 mo. 24, 1811, married Richard PLUMMER, of Baltimore, Maryland, 11 mo. 11, 1852, and died in Newtown, 3 mo. 22, 1892; Sarah B., born 12 mo. 24, 1816, married Isaac C.

Isaac W. HICKS, only son of Edward and Sarah (WORSTALL) HICKS, was born at Hulmeville, and reared in Newtown, Bucks county, where he lived from the age of two years until his death. He assisted his father in the coach painting business and farming, but after his fathers death he devoted himself mostly to farming. He was greatly, interested in the incorporation of Newtown as a borough in 1838, and the laying of the brick walk on Penn street which led from a ladies seminary at the corner of Penn and Congress street to the heart of the town, and was the first improved walk in the new borough. Throughout his life he was interested in everything that would add to the best good of the town. His entire life after he was twelve years of age was spent in the house on Penn street, Newtown borough, built by his father about 1821 and remodeled by himself in 1870, and still occupied by his daughter Sarah. He married 6 mo. 4, 1857, Hannah L. PENROSE, daughter of William and Hannah (JARRETT) PENROSE, of Horsham. She was born at the historic Graeme Park, the former residence of Sir William KEITH, colonial governor of Pennsylvania, 2 mo. 20, 1820, and died at Newtown 9 mo. 23, 1894. The children of Isaac W. and Hannah PENROSE HICKS are:
