Margery Stackhouse

THOMAS STACKHOUSE, SR., born about 1635, was a Friend. He and Margery Heahurst, both of Bolland Meeting, "laid their intentions of marriage before Settle Monthly Meeting in second month 1682, and again in third month, when they were liberated to proceed therein." Having accomplished this marriage, they, with several others, procured a Certificate from Settle Monthly Meeting, and took passage for Pennsylvania, in the ship "Welcome," with William Penn, the Proprietor. They arrived at New Castle, Delaware, 10 mo. 27, 1682, and subsequently settled on a tract of land on the Neshaminy Creek, about where Langhorne now is, in Middletown Township, Bucks County. Two tracts of land, one of 312 and the other of 507 acres, were laid out and surveyed, in the respective names of Thomas Stackhouse, Sr., and Thomas Stackhouse, adjoining lands of Robert Heaton and James Dilworth
