biography from Davis' History of Bucks County
Thomas Stackhouse was a very prominent man in the community, representing his county in the colonial assembly of Pennsylvania for the years 1711 to 1715, inclusive, and then declining a re-election. He was also collector of proprietary quit-rents for Bucks county; served as one of the commissioners to lay out roads, and in many other capacities of trust. He was one of the active members of Middletown Monthly Meeting of Friends, and built their meeting house in 1690. He took up 507 acres of land in Middletown on the Neshaminy, and in 1707 bought 1200 acres of Francis Richardson. He died 4 mo. 26, 1744.
He was three times married;
- first, on 7mo. 27, 1688, to Grace Heaton, daughter of Robert and Alice Heaton, who was born in Yorkshire, 1 mo. 14, 1667, and accompanied her parents to Pennsylvania in 1682 in the "Welcome" with William Penn ; she died 8 mo. 8, 1708. Thomas and Grace (Heaton) Stackhouse were the parents of nine children, viz. :
- Samuel,
- John,
- Robert,
- Henry,
- Grace,
- Alice,
- Thomas,
- Joseph and
- Benjamin.

- Thomas married a third time, in 8 mo., 1725, Dorothy Heston, widow of Zebulon Heston of Wrightstown, who survived him.
of the second marriage
Thomas and Ann (Mayos) Stackhouse were the parents of five children, viz.:
- Isaac died at age of two years;
- Jacob,
- Ann,
- Sarah and
- Isaac.
Nearly all these children lived to rear families and have left numerous descendants, the four daughters marrying into the families of Longshore, Plumly, Wilson and Gary.
Thomas and Dorothy (Heston) Stackhouse left no children.
geographical background
STACKHOUSE is a place name with a very long history just to the west of the Giggleswick / Settle area in Yorkshire.
The ancestry of the Stackhouse family is traced in England to the year 1086, and in America traces back to the year 1682, when Thomas Stackhouse, of the village of Stackhouse, in the deanery of Craven, West Riding of York-shire, came to America, arriving at New Castle 10 mo. 27, 1682, accompanied by his wife Margery and two nephews, Thomas and John Stackhouse.
They all settled in Middletown township and took up large tracts of land. Thomas Stackhouse, the elder, lost his wife Margery, who died 11 mo. 15, 1682, and he married in I mo., 1702, Margaret Atkinson, nee Fell, daughter of Christopher Fell, of Newtown, Lancashire, and widow of Christopher Atkinson, who had died on board the "Britanica" in 1699 on his way to Pennsylvania.
Thomas Stackhouse died in 1706 without issue. Thomas and John Stackhouse both reared large families in Middletown, and have both left numerous descendants. The latter died in Middletown in 1757.
