"John Brooke, with Frances, his wife, and two sons (James and Matthew), arrived from Yorkshire, England, in 1699. He had purchased seven hundred and fifty acres of William Penn, and on his death his sons took up the aforesaid tract in Limerick, on which they settled. It occupied the central part of the township, to the northwest of Limerick Square, and included the lot and burial-ground on which the old church is located, near which the brothers erected their buildings. ..." ~• from Bean's History of Montgomery County
