John Croasdale, second son of Thomas and Agnes (Hathornthwaite) Croasdale, was born in Yorkshire on 11 5th mo. 1666, according to the Settle record, or about 14 5th mo. 1666, according to the Middletown, and came to America in 1682 on the "Lamb." He died in Bucks County shortly before 26 12th mo. 1706/7, though Mrs. Brey says he was buried 16 10th mo. 1706. He married at Middletown 28 2nd mo. 1697 Marah Chapman, daughter of John and Jane (?) Chapman, to whom administration was granted on his estate 26 12th mo. 1796/7. She married second, John Wildman, son of Martin and Ann (Ward) Wildman [source: Welcome Claiments].

The "Lamb" of Liverpool (One of Penn's ships) loaded and departed at Liverpool, England between June 26 and July 17, 1682 and arrived in Delaware October 22, 1682 bound for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Liverpool port books for 1682 are located in the Public Records Office in London. The book dealing with the "Lamb" is E190/1345/11. Ship and passenger Information: Type: Small ship Burthen: 130 tons John Tench, Master Passengers: Thomas Croasdale, Wife Agnes and children: William, John, Elizabeth, Mary, Bridget and Alice Ellen Cowgill and children: John, Ralph, Edmund, Jane and Jennet James Dilworth, wife Ann Waln Dilworth, son Stephen Guthbert Hayhurst, Mary Rudd Hayhurst and children: Elizabeth, William, Margery, John, Cuthbert and alice Charles Lee Stephen Sands Robert Heaton, Alice Heaton and children: Grace, Robert, James, Agnes and Ephraim Nicholas Waln, Jane Turner Waln and children: Jane, Richard and Margaret Thomas Wigglesworth and Alice Hayhurst Wigglesworth The "Lamb" carried the following goods: 36 cwt. of iron 9.5 cwt. nails 2 chests of glass 497 lbs. of shoes 54.50 doz. men's hose 15.50 dozen child hose 60 gross of pipes 2 cwt. of gunpowder 73 cwt. of cheese 2 calder grindstones.

Further, later deeds show that John Croasdale (buried 10-16-1706 Middletown M. M. Cem.), son of Thomas and Agnes, who married Marah Chapman 2-28-1697, daughter of John and Jane (?), in the house of Jane Chapman, widow, in Wrightstown, Bucks County, Pa., died intestate leaving a widow, Marah, and three children: Thomas, Ruth and Agnes. Marah Croasdale (widow) married 1709 neighboring Friend John Wildman, son of Martin and Ann, and had two daughters: Mercy Wildman who married Tho. Jenks and Elizabeth Wildman who married John Woolston. A double family living adjoining farms, they probably continued dwelling on the John Croasdale plantation until Agnes Croasdale married Joseph Warner and son Thomas Croasdale married in 1731. Then Thomas bought out his sister's dower and mother's widow-rights from his father John's estate, amounting to 203 acres "in land, ways, woods, watercourses, messuage, plantation, premises," etc. (The property was sold later, 1733, for debt.) Thomas Croasdale (b. 2-6-1706) had only one daughter; therefore, at his death, the Croasdale name disappears, for his uncle William Croasdale, who died in 1715, left only one daughter, Agnes Croasdale, who married Richard Hill. (William Croasdale, brother of John, born in England in 1664, died Pa. 1715 married 1690, Elizabeth Hayhurst, had two children, Thomas born 1691 died young, and Agnes, above mentioned. William married 2nd Sarah Milnor.) William Croasdale resided in Bristol. At a "meeting of commissioners of ye Council in Philadelphia ye 8th day 7th mo. 1687," William Croasdale was appointed Chief Ranger of the county of Bucks. "He was also an active member of Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends and owned considerable property, including 250 acres in Solebury, his portion of his father Thomas Croasdale's estate" [source: A Quaker Saga, by Jane Brey pg. 362-3].
