Waltons in Philadelphia and Bucks County

"On March 1, 1849, Mr. Pechin married Sidney M. Walton, a daughter of Isaac Walton, a farmer and saddler of Horseham township. The Walton family are of English descent, and trace their trans-Atlantic ancestry back to four brothers, who came to America before the arrival of Peen.. They afterwards located in Philadelphia and Bucks county. The Waltons are of Quaker belief and are pious and peaceable citizens. Jesse W. Walton, paternal grandfater, was a resident of Bucks county, where he owned a fine farm and was engaged in agricultural prusits. He had but one brother, Joshua, also a farmer, who had two children."
