"The 500 acres of Thomas Rowland, extending from Newtown creek to Neshaminy, probably included the ground the Presbyterian church stands upon. It was owned by Henry Baker in 1691, who conveyed 248 acres to Job Bunting in June 1692, and in October 1697 the remainder, 252 acres, to Stephen Wilson . In 1695 Bunting conveyed his acres to Stephen Twining , and in 1698 Wilson did the same, and Twining now owned Thomas Rowland's whole tract. In 1757 part or the whole of this land was in the possession of Benjamin Twining. In 1702 Stephen Twining owned 690 acres in Newtown, which John Cutler surveyed March 10th.
