• "1735: "among the early settlers in Buckingham, Matilda Kimble then a widow, inherited from her brother Thomas Morrey, in 1735, 400 acres of land on the Horsham and Warrington, where he built a country house, still known as Graeme Park, and a mill. In March, 1722, he asked the council to open a road through the woods from his settlement to Horsham, and from there down to the bridge at Round Meadow run, now Willow Grove, which was laid out April 23d, confirmed the 28th of May, and surveyed by Nicholas Scull. In 1723 a road was laid out from Dyer's mill, now Dyerstown, two miles above Doylestown, down to Governor Keith's plantation, making the second link in the Easton road. An effort was made in 1736 to have the course of the roadchanged between the Neshaminy and alms-house hill, because it ran through the middle of John Beuley's [Bewley's*] farm, but it was not successful.

Note: This land descended to her children, Anthony and William KIMBLE; and daughters Ann BEWLEY, wife of John BEWLEY; Rosa, wife of Josiah WILKINSON and Mary, wife of Charles HICKST.

In addition to the 400 acres, Richard MORREY, the father of Matilda, and Humphrey MORREY, her uncle, conveyed several additional tracts to the children of Matilda KIMBLE at about the same date. The KIMBLES were the first settlers on this land, a large tract of which is still owned and occupied by Charles KIMBLE, a brother of the subject of this sketch. Humphrey MORREY, the grandfather of Matilda KIMBLE, was the first mayor of Philadelphia." [History of Bucks Co., Pa.
