Further, later deeds show that John Croasdale (buried 10-16-1706 Middletown M. M. Cem.), son of Thomas and Agnes, who married Marah Chapman 2-28-1697, daughter of John and Jane (?), in the house of Jane Chapman, widow, in Wrightstown, Bucks County, Pa., died intestate leaving a widow, Marah, and three children: Thomas, Ruth and Agnes.
Marah Croasdale (widow) married 1709 neighboring Friend John Wildman, son of Martin and Ann, and had two daughters: Mercy Wildman who married Tho. Jenks and Elizabeth Wildman who married John Woolston. A double family living adjoining farms, they probably continued dwelling on the John Croasdale plantation until Agnes Croasdale married Joseph Warner and son Thomas Croasdale married in 1731. Then Thomas bought out his sister's dower and mother's widow-rights from his father John's estate, amounting to 203 acres "in land, ways, woods, watercourses, messuage, plantation, premises," etc. (The property was sold later, 1733, for debt.)
Thomas Croasdale (b. 2-6-1706) had only one daughter; therefore, at his death, the Croasdale name disappears, for his uncle William Croasdale, who died in 1715, left only one daughter, Agnes Croasdale, who married Richard Hill. (William Croasdale, brother of John, born in England in (1665), died Pa. 1715, married 1690, Elizabeth Hayhurst, had two children, Thomas born 1691 died young, and Agnes, above mentioned. William married 2nd Sarah Milnor.)
William Croasdale resided in Bristol. At a "meeting of commissioners of ye Council in Philadelphia ye 8th day 7th mo. 1687," William Croasdale was appointed Chief Ranger of the county of Bucks. "He was also an active member of Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends and owned considerable property, including 250 acres in Solebury, his portion of his father Thomas Croasdale's estate" [source: A Quaker Saga, by Jane Brey pg. 362-3].
