H i s t o r y i n t h e m a k i n g

On Saturday, May 29th, the New Hope Historical Society part-

nered with the New Hope-Solebury High School’s advanced

placement students to present the annual New Hope History

Day.

This year marked the two hundredth anniversary of Benjamin

Parry’s patent for machinery that he invented to preserve corn,

grain and malt for overseas shipping thereby dramatically increasing foreign markets for

local farmers. A copy of the patent that was signed by President James Madison was on

display for the event. The students prepared exhibits to dem-

onstrate some of the early inventions of the Industrial Revolution. New videos of the

town’s historic structures were shown and a walking tour of New Hope was conducted at

3:00 PM. Guided tours of Benjamin Parry’s Georgian style mansion were also presented

from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

All events were free and open to the public beginning at noon at the Parry Mansion. The

programs enabled those attending to learn about New Hope’s part in the early Industrial

Revolution and its varied roles in the history of Bucks County over the

past three hundred years.

The Society estimated the crowds attending History Day and touring the

Mansion to reach approximately three hundred.

New Hope History Day was generously sponsored by Mancuso Show

Management.

Presidents Message The arrival of autumn is not just heralding signs of fall foliage, pumpkins and mums, it is the beginning of a new season for the

Society. After a productive summer of meetings by the Nominating Committee, a new slate of Officers and Directors will be

presented at the Annual Meeting on November 17th to be held at Marsha Browns. The Development Committee also met in

our air conditioned office to prepare and send out the Annual Appeal request and search for Grants. With fall beckoning, an-

other committee was preparing for the Annual Dinner, and phase one of the Annual Garden Tour 2011 went into motion. The

drive for Membership never slows down and as you can see, despite not having summer events, The Parry family never sleeps.

November marks a milestone for me, personally, as I step down as President of the Society. The last two years have not only

flown by but have been totally fulfilling for me. It has been an honor to serve as President and take responsibility for New

Hope's most important treasure, The Parry Mansion. To gain the understanding of the respect that the community and the visi-

tors have for the Mansion has been most satisfying. My biggest two assets however, remain the board of directors, who have

never been so unified and directed, and the Executive Director, Deborah Lang, who works tirelessly for the success of the Soci-

ety. My sincerest thanks go out to all of them. It has been two years of reaching a number of goals that I set and I intend to stay

on the board to lend support to the next President and Board with hopes of seeing other goals achieved.

I want to thank the entire membership for all of the support you have given to the Society over the last year, not only as volun-

teers, but also for renewing your memberships and supporting the Annual Giving Fund. Your generous donations help to pro-

vide a strong foundation allowing us to better preserve the Mansion and also serve the community.

With that said, I look forward to greeting all of you at the Annual Meeting. The evening will be rather special not only intro-

ducing a new President and Treasurer, but we have also planned a few special moments to share as well.

My Best,

Edwin Hild, President

New Hope History Day Celebrated 200th anniversary of Parry’s Patent

June 14th was hot and

steamy with a threat of rain but

that didn’t stop our members

from turning out in record num-

bers for the Annual Garden

Party. While the Bob Egan duo

entertained, guests enjoyed the

delicious food and beer compli-

ments of Triumph Brewing Co.

The highlight of the event was

when Mayor Larry Keller, turned

auctioneer and the lively bidding

began for the Dickens Dinner.

This enchanting multi-course

dinner with the finest accompa-

nying wines for twelve guests

will be catered by Chef Thom

Smyth and his sous chef Ernie

Bowman. Imagine dining in the

Parry Mansion on Parry china

while being served by Society

Board Members in period dress

and character. What a enchant-

ing evening this will be! The

successful bidders were Robert

Facchina and Susan Lauyer of

New Hope. Congratulations.

ance by New Hope artists, Rachel

Lancaster and Dylan Hurwitz; a

fusion of classical music and

modern hoop-dancing.

Claire Shaw was also a winner.

She took home the Mantis Roto-

Tiller and a long list of friends who

want to borrow it!

Several other members were recipi-

ents of our dining gift certificates

which were generously donated by

local restaurants as raffle prizes.

A wonderful time was had by all.

The fortieth annual coach

tour visited the heart of the

nation’s financial center on

Wall Street in Lower Manhat-

The final stop was Pier 11

on the East River where every-

one boarded a ferry boat for a

scenic trip around Manhattan

to Weehawken NJ where their

coach was waiting. A wonder-

ful day shared by all.

Trinity Church was the first

stop. Then it was on to the

Museum of American Fi-

nance and the Federal Hall

National Memorial where

George Washington took the

oath of office becoming the

first President of the U.S..

Then it was off to The Peking

Duck House in Chinatown for

a sumptuous banquet lunch.

The tour then continued to

the National Museum of the

American Indian which

houses the Smithsonian Mu-

seum’s acclaimed Gustave

Heye collection in the former

Customs House. The collec-

tion represents the best of

the native American culture

as the objects displayed were

chosen by tribal leaders. The

fall show is titled. “A song for

the Horse Nation.”

Brent and Joan Marston are new members of the

Society and live in South Carolina. Isn’t that a little

ways to travel for our events you might ask? As it

turns out Brent is a direct descendant of Rachael

Randolph Parry, daughter of Oliver Randolph Parry,

Benjamin’s son. Brent and Joan were kind enough to

make a trip to New Hope where Roy Ziegler and I met

with them.

Following a private tour of the Parry Mansion, pro-

vided by Roy sprinkled with a condensed history of

the Parry Family, Bucks County and New Hope, Brent

Parry Relatives Connect via Internet Search and Joan shared stories. They also generously

donated artifacts belonging to his family. Other items

were lent to us for scanning and adding to our ar-

chives. We were delighted to meet with such a charm-

ing couple so well versed in history and in the Parry

family. They even included a visit to several cemeter-

ies along the way from SC to New Hope to complete

their search for family ties.

We look forward to staying in touch with the Mar-

ston’s and hope they will decide to revisit us during a

future Society event. Gen. Randolph

Parry AD 1865

Buried in a box of old deeds and various repair bills I found this copy of an old poem. The copy itself is handwritten and thought to date from ap-proximately 1850. The poem itself is an “Acrostic”, which is a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a person’s name or a motto. The first letter of this one does not fit but the rest flows beautifully. The spelling and gram-mar is exact from the

original. This particular one was addressed to Miss Jenny Paxson by Benjamin Parry (son of John Parry of Manland Manor, England) before their marriage in 1787. It is noted that it was probably written about the year 1785.

Who would have ever thought Benjamin was such a romantic!

Found in the attic of Parry Mansion in New Hope is a treasure of an-tique documents. Con-tained in these pages are the stories of New Hope, its people and places.

I volunteered, earlier this spring, to try to make some sense of order with these beauties. (I now know why no one was ahead of me for the job). Though the work may be tedious it is also fascinat-ing and exciting.

(From my Personal Archives)

I inform me Sheapherds of the green, where roves my lovely maid. E namour with the birds that sing, shee’s sought some pleasant shade. N ot blooming meads, or golden fields, was ever half so fair. N or May with all her fragrant flowers, did ee’r so bright appear. Y oung as the morning ; her blushes far more clear.

P ure as the morning dew, her breath; that blows the fragrant flower; A nd ruby lips, a Saint might kiss, or Infidel adore. X enophon wise who scoft at love, and mockt the lovers pains, S aw never half so fair a maid, or he had owned young Cupids chains. O’ er hoary mountain tops I’d glide; from forest’s leaves I’d tear; N or bars of steel obstruct my way, to keep me from my Fair.

Francis M. Curley Scholarship The Historical Society established the scholarship seven years ago to honor Francis M. Curley. His numerous contributions fostered an appreciation of New Hope’s unique history and ensured he will be remembered for his lasting impact on the New Hope community as a teacher, community leader and Member of the Society for many years. Each year a one thousand dollar scholarship is awarded to an outstanding civic-minded senior attending the New Hope-Solebury High School. This student must also be committed to pursuing a formal education in Social Studies. This year’s recipient was Maria DiGiovanni. She was chosen after demonstrating excel-lence in course work and community involvement. She is attending the University of Pittsburgh. Funding for the Francis Curley Scholarship program is obtained from the members of the New Hope His-torical Society and from the general public. For information about the scholarship and how to contribute, call 215-862-5652.

IN MEMORIAM

John R Brillman, Jr. of New Hope

March 17, 1938 – September 29, 2010 The Society and the New Hope-Solebury Community has lost a valued member.

John was the beloved husband of CeCe Brillman, son of the late John R. Sr. and Mary Brillman.

A lifelong resident of New Hope and owner of John R. Brillman Landscape Nursery for more than 50 years,

JR was a kind-hearted, nature-loving humanitarian. He was a historian, a walking Bucks County guidebook

of everything from plants to surnames, and everything in-between. He had a fulfilling, productive and respectable

career working to make our little corner of Bucks County more beautiful through landscaping.

John was a U.S. Army veteran. An avid outdoorsman he loved to fish and hunt. He was also a dedicated community volunteer.

President of the New Hope-Solebury Community Association, Director of the New Hope Auto Show, President of the Solebury

Lions Club, member of the Edgar H. Denson Legion Post 79, Fifty-year member of the American Association of Nurseryman and

PA Nursery Association. Also a member of the following clubs: The Elks Club, The Bucks County Farm Bureau, The Amwell Out-

doors Gun Club, The Amwell Valley Sportsmen Club, The Lambertville Rod and Gun Club, and endowment member of the Na-

tional Rifle Association.

John also is survived by his children, Mary Beth Brillman of Newtown, James Brillman of Buckingham and John

R. Brillman III of Mount Jackson, VA.

John is resting at the Friends Cemetery in Solebury. Memorial contributions may be sent in John’s name to:

Eagle Fire Co., P O Box 314, New Hope, PA 18938, or New Hope-Solebury Community Association, P O Box

62, New Hope, PA 18938, or Edgar H. Denson Post #79, P O Box 131, New Hope, PA 18938, or Solebury Lions

Club, P O Box 15, New Hope, PA 18938.

On a very personal note: I would like to share a little with you about JR Brillman. I am honored to say this wonderful man was my

close friend. He was truly like no other. While friends and family grieved we also shared stories and all had a common theme. JR

gave so much to all of us. He taught us, nurtured us, gave us advice (via a story of course) and led by example. He always had time

for us, with a giggle. We will miss him so. We will remember him always. We know he will not forget us either, not with that

memory.

This will be the last newsletter before the holidays. Please remember to join us for the Spirited Tea on Sunday, December 5 th from 4

to 7 pm and Victorian Christmas December 11th & 12th from 1 to 4 pm when the Parry Mansion will be looking spectacular adorned

with period Christmas decorations.

The mansion will be closing for the season on Sunday November 28th. We have had a successful tour season in 2010. We expanded

the tour hours until 5pm and hired two docents to bring our total to five. We are fortunate to have a very dedicated and competent

staff, but would welcome additional volunteer docents who might be willing to help with tours for the 2011 season. Please give me a

call if you or someone you know might be interested.

A special thank you!

A dedicated Society member, talented photographer, wife to Gene and mother to Morris, Wendy Gladston is

devoting her spare time to the Archives. At this moment, she is cataloguing every item the Parry’s have left

behind and we are so thankful for her and her digital notebook. In addition she has agreed to share her ―finds‖

with us in a column in the newsletter. Her first is here on page 7. We can’t thank Wendy enough for her time

and patience.

Also, remember if you have any ―archive finds‖ please be sure to give us a call. Wendy will

be more than happy to speak with you.
