- embarked for America in 1704

- 1726 bought 150 acres from Thomas Walmsley
- 1738 bought 350 acres from John Plumley
- ~• note: both these purchases were from men who were Quakers in the Middletown Mtg.
- hence, the Pumley land may have been the same as is shown on the Western shore of the Neshaminy in this map .
- even though Evan Griffith died in Hilltown it seems, by the purchases, he was a landowner in Northhampton somewhat to the South.
- ~• note: both these purchases were from men who were Quakers in the Middletown Mtg.
