Ann Wildman

• Married: 9 MAY 1678 in CROSDALEGRAINS, TATHAM, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND

the Ward surname seems to be common to Lancashire. There is even a place name Ward's Stone in the Forest of Bowland of geographical and historical interest.

"Among the earliest settlers who came (to Middletown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania colony) with children were: Nicholas and Jane Walne, three, Thomas and Agnes Croasdale, six, Robert and Elizabeth Hall, two, James and Ann Dilworth, one, William and Mary Paxson, one, James and Jane Paxson, two; James and Mary Radcliff, four, Jonathan and Anne Scaife, two, Robert and Alice Heaton, five, Martin and Anne Wildman, with six children.

John Eastburn came from the parish of Bingley, county  of York, with a certificate from Bradley meeting, dated July 31st, 1684.  Johannes Searl was in Middletown prior to 1725, from whose house a road  leading to Bristol was laid out that year. Before 1700 Thoms Musgrove  owned 500 acres in the township, patented to Hannah Price, and afterward  came into the possession of Thomas Jenks."
