  • Notes 
    • From Bucks Co, PA, he requested a certificate for his wife and children to move to Richland MM on 1743, 6mo(Aug) 1. According to the "History of Bucks County, PA", he was amongst the first eleven families to inhabit Haycock, PA in 1743. Most of the families were German, with a little Welsh and Irish thrown in too. I believe it later became the township of Springfield. He appears to have begun the purchase of this land, 300 acres on Dec. 22, 1737 in Philadelphia for land on Tohickon Creek in Bucks Co., PA. It was surveyed on Apr. 1, 1738 and was bounded on three sides by vacant land and the fourth by Wm. Graham. It was returned Aug. 12, 1745. The final date on the paperwork for this land was Mar 10, 1757. He was deeded this property by the Governors in Chief, John, Thomas and Richard Penn, Esq.'s. (C-253c, 2171, C-DOC provided by Orrell Dunn, E.)
