Re: service in the legislative assembly: Jenkins in "Pennsylvania Colonial and Federal" in connection with war with the Indians. "...on June 4, 1756, James Pemberton and Joshua Morris, members from Philadelphia County, William Peters from Chester County, Peter Worrall from Lancaster County, and Francis Parvin from Berks (Quakers) resigned their seats in the assembly giving as a reason that many of their constituents seemed of the opinion that the situation called upon their representatives for service "in a military way," which from a conviction of judgement after mature deliberation they could not comply with. At the October election, however, Mahlon Kirkbride and William Hoge of Bucks County and Peter Dicks and Nathaniel Pennock of Chester County, although of the same religious persuasion as the seven, were returned. This was without solicitation on the part of these four and, to avoid all question, they resigned."
