The most notable member of the family was the eldest child, Lindley Murray, the largest selling author in the United States and the world in the first four decades of the nineteenth century. The author of 1 1 textbooks, Lindley Murray was best-known in the United States as the author/compiler of the English Reader, a textbook anthology that sold some 5 million copies in the United States.1 It was used in their youth by well over half of school-educated Americans in the North who reached the age of 40 between 1845 and 1865, the generation that prosecuted the Civil War.2 Indeed the book, based largely on the writings of the Scottish Enlightenment, has been credited with helping create a climate ofopinion that led to wide public acceptance ofabolitionist ideas.3 Abraham Lincoln, no less, called the English Reader the best Schoolbook ever put in the hands of an American youth.4 But Lindley Murray was only one of a remarkable cast of characters in this family whose American roots go back to the Pennsylvania of the early 18th century. Lindley's father was Robert Murray (1721-1786), who had emigrated with his brother and his own father to Pennsylvania from Ireland in 1732. Robert's father John was a native of Perthshire, Scotland, who had emigrated to County Armagh in 1722, where Robert was born. After arriving in America, John Murray bought 200-plus acres of land on the Swatara Creek, then in Hanover Township. While still in his teens, Robert Murray became the operator of a prosperous mill in agriculturally rich Swatara. Lindley Murray's mother, Mary Lindley, was the daughter of Thomas Lindley (1684-1743), a Friend and also an immigrant. Thomas's father was James Lindley (b. 1641) and his mother Alice Walsmith (b. 1644). James had likely gone to Ireland from England in his youth. The family was probably converted not long after the arrival of Quaker missionaries in Ireland in the 1650s. Born in the village of Ballincash in County Wexford, Thomas Lindley subsequently moved to Ringsend, County Dublin, most likely to pursue his trade of blacksmithing. From there, he emigrated to Philadelphia about 1718. Not long after his arrival, he applied to the Dublin Charles Monaghan, an independent scholar, is a retired journalist who worked for The New York Times and Washington Post.

His bride was Hannah Duborow (also spelled Desbrough), daughter of a Philadelphia Quaker brewer. In the classic way of immigrant families, Thomas Lindley's brother had preceded him to the New World. James Lindley Jr., six years older, arrived in Pennsylvania in 1713, bringing documentation from the Quaker meeting in County Carlow, Ireland, totheFriends Meeting atNewark (now Kennett), in Chester County. James had married Eleanor Parke in Ireland in 1705; several of her relatives also emigrated to Pennsylvania around this time, eventually establishing themselves as one of the Commonwealth's leading families. Soon after his arrival, James purchased 200 acres from William Penn Jr. in the development at New Garden, Pennsylvania. In the deed, he is described as a yeoman, but when he buys 400 acres at London Grove in 1722, he is listed as a blacksmith. Perhaps James had picked up the trade from his younger brother in the intervening years. James Lindley Jr. died in 1740, and by that time he had acquired a considerable estate. It included a thousand acres of land and personal property worth £1 ,1 15.5 His youngerbrotherwas alsoprospering.
