John A. (son of George), following the family predilection, entered the same university from which bis brothers had graduated, and concluded his course of study in 1836. He followed his profession about ten years at Whitemarsh, when his health failed and he removed to California, where he practiced, and also established a hospital. After an absence of two years he returned East, studied law in Philadelphia, and practiced at Norristown a few years. But his original taste for medicine seems to have returned, for he moved to Magnolia, Del., and resumed its practice. He died there, March 13, 1872, aged fifty- seven years.
