July 31, 1863 DELAWARE COUNTY REPUBLICAN A MEETING OF THE PATRIARCHS - A friend informs us that while at the Black Horse, in Middletown, a few days since, he met seven of the old residents of that township who had assembled to pay their taxes, whose united ages amounted to five hundred and thirty six years. The names of these patriarchs are as follows: John F. Hill aged 82; Caleb Yarnall 80; Joseph Hardcastle 83; George Hill 74; Joshua Sharpless 78; John Williamson 79; and James Howarth 68. It is not so often so many aged persons are found together.
