Relics Of De Foe.
From the philndelph,a rimes,l !

On the picturesque range of Chester
hills that rise nobly above the waters OF
the historic Brandywine, two and half
miles from Chadd's Ford, is spot
prominent in revolutionary times as the
scene OF Lord Howe's successful route of
Gen: Washington's army in September,
l777. Situated upon the highest emf.
nence of these hills is the village of
Fairville, q hamlet of less than 100 in
habitants, principally composed of the
denomination of Friendp. The Kennett
pike-the high road to Wilmington
passes through the quiet village. The
dwellings mostly front on it, leaving a
clear foreground and an excellent view
toward the West, from whence the set
ting sun floods the hill SUBMITS with
crimson light.
a modest three.story brick house, the
plalnest and the most modern in the vii
lage and in its surroundings the contest
and most comfortable of them all,
crowns the steep ascent by which Fair
vile is reached on the road from the
railroad station. In this dwelling lives
one who has the regret to be the last de.
scendant of the De Foe family in Amer.
lea. This is James Trimble, upon whom
l had occasion to call few evenings
since.
Mr.. Trimble was born in Nottingham,
Cecil County, Maryland, in March, 1893,
thus placing him in the 85th year of his
age. MIR. Trimble is q lineal descendant
Of Elizabeth Maxwell, daughter of
Daniel De Foes widowed sister, who
came from England to the United States
in 1725 and married and settled at the
above place.
In 1876 Mr. Trimble presented to the
Delaware Historical Society of Whining
ton one of the two chairs that belonged
to the study furniture of De Foes sister,
which he used while there in hiding
from arrest for issuing seditious pam
phlets and other papers during the ex-
citing times of 1705. These chairs were
sent, with other furniture, to Mrs. Max
well upon the death of her mother, a
short time after settling in this coun-
try. They had previously been handed
down in the family as heirlooms and SOU
venirs having come with the De Foe family
into England from Flanders, while
they were fleeing from the persecution
of Philip ~.
Mr.. Trimble kindly allowed an inspec.
ton of the remaining chair in his posses
sien, and it can only be said that to the
eye of one upaccustomed to seeing an
tique furniture of the fifteenth or six
teenth centuries it appears to be very
curious and novel piece Of workmanship.
The wood is similar in color to that of
ebony and apparently as hard. The
carving and vine-work is well executed
and is preserved almost in its original
condition, except having the Chinese
wicker-work on the seat worn out, which
was replaced by the author De Foe,
who used it afterward while writing
Robinson Crusoe" and other produc-
tions. The chair, in shape, has very
high, straight and narrow back, to us a
position of uncomfOrt.
