About Joseph Satterthwaite

~• in part:
"William Satterthwaite II died in 1855 and his will transferred the estate to his son, Joseph Satterthwaite. The Hughes Map of 1858 listed Joseph Satterthwaite as the owner of the parcel.[15] Joseph followed his father’s example, passing the property by will to his son, Samuel Satterthwaite in 1890.[16]

It is likely that Joseph Satterthwaite, expanded it shortly after 1870 (a brief period of agricultural prosperity locally), to the five bay Victorian adaptation of the Federal-style.[17] The 1858 Hughes Map of Lower Makefield Township shows an el-shaped configuration of the house shaped to the south with a single fairly solid straight northern façade, and the current position of other farm structures on the site. The Scott Map of 1876 shows a similar silhouette, while the 1890 Noll map depicts the current “T” shape with another front façade extension in a northerly direction. The solid butt-edged flat siding on the front of this house is the only surviving example of this level of Victorian wood craftsmanship in the township. The rest of the house has more typical cedar overlapped siding.

The Satterthwaite’s sold about 20 acres at the northwestern end of their property near the Yardley-Newtown Road to Charles Yardley, an in-law, in the early twentieth century. Its early twentieth century “colonial revival” house and gentleman’s farm became a casualty of business development and I-95 encroachment onto the northwest corner of the property. It was demolished about 2004. Samuel Satterthwaite sold 100 acres, the largest remaining portion of the property, with the house and barns to his kinsman, Marcus P. Doan in 1917.[18] The Doan’s sold it to Thomas and Alice Patterson in 1958.[19] "
