• Notes

  "John Wardell Passmore, third son of Ellis and Ruth Passmore, was a native of Cecil county, Maryland, the date of his birth having been October 30, 1802. His preliminary education was acquired at a private school and later he attended a boarding school conducted by Enoch Lewis, after which he served an apprenticeship at the trade of carpenter. He located in the township of West Nottingham, Chester county, Pennsylvania, and became one of its prominent and influential citizens. He followed his trade for a number of years, but subsequently turned his attention to teaching school. He was a strong advocate of the principles of the Whig party, and was chosen by that body to serve as county commissioner of Chester county, his tenure of the office being from 1836 to 1841. On October 13, 1822, Mr. Passmore married Deborah Brown, born January 12, 1801, a daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Brown. Their children were: Ellis Pusey, born August 23, 1823; Samuel Brown, born December 13, 1827; Elizabeth Ruth, born Nov- ember 11, 1830, and John A., born June 30, 1836, now deceased. John W. Passmore, father of these children, died at his residence in Chester county, June 26, 1848; he was survived many years by his widow, who passed away in May, 1895.
