Biography

A migration of Dutch people from New York and Long Island took place in 1696, with the people moving southward into and through New Jersey. The families dropped off here and there making their new homes. In this migration was Rebecca and her eight children and their spouses. Some went as far south as Burlington, NJ, and in 1697 crossed the Delaware River, landing in Bristol, Bensalem Township, Bucks, PA. Rebecca's family chose to settle a little further down river, and bought four farms from the original owner, by deed or grant from William Penn, whose name was Joseph Grawden (who had received a very large tract of 12,000 acres). The four farms adjoined each other & were bordered on the east by the Delaware River, the town of Eddington, Bucks county; and the creek separating Bucks & Philiadelphia counties on the north. The combined acreage of the farms was 757 acres, and the familly chose the middle of the tract for their living settlement.
