"William Bingham seems to have inherited a large estate through those ancestors who resided in Pennsylvania. His great-grandfather James died in 1714, leaving considerable landed property. His grandfather James added to the possessions of the family by marrying the daughter of William Budd of Burlington, New Jersey, one of the principal men of that colony. His father William, besides the Bingham and Budd property that came into his possession, added considerably to it by a marriage in 1745 with Mary, daughter of Alderman and Mayor John Stamper. William Bingham, who married Ann Willing, was born in Philadelphia April 8, 1752."[4]
