Individual Details

He was a clockmaker, lived at "Kirk's Tavem",on the old Philadelphia and Easton road. later known as village of Davis Grove (now disappeared). It was at his home that the celebrated Lady Ferguson, daughter of Governor Keith, first Governor of Pennsylvania, lived the latter part of her life, and where she died in 1801. The house is remembered as a handsome stone structure, situated a short distance above the Horsham Friends Meetinghouse on the Doylestown-Willow Grove turnpike (now Route 611). The property was owned later for many years by Chalkley Kenderdine, and is now the site of the Willow Grove Naval Air Station. Seneca's son, Isaiah Lukens, 1779-1846, (Tabitha's older brother) was an even more noted clockmaker than his father, and is most noted for having built the clock in the 1828 restoration of the "Old State House" (now Independence Hall). That clock, however, was removed to Town Hall, Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1924, where it is still keeping the time. Isaiah was one of the Founders of the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, being elected its first Vice-President, an office he held for many years. His portrait, by Charles Wilson Peale, is in possession of the
Franklin Institute.
