Land

"According to the map of Thomas Holme, the following were original land-owners in Northampton: Benjamin East, Thomas Atkinson, William Pickering, John Brown, Robert Turner, Anthony Tompkins, John Pennington, Christopher Taylor, Daniel Wharley, Samuel Allen, Peter Freeman, Richard Thatcher, Edmund Bennet, widow Hunt, widow Walmsly, Nicholas Walne, widow Plumly, Thomas Rowland, William Buckman, Joab Howle, Arthur Cook, George Willard, Henry Baly, Thomas Potter, James Boiden and James Claypole. Some of them came with their families, while others sought new homes in the forest of Bucks county alone. These names are to be received with a grain of allowance, on account of their imperfect spelling, and as some of these persons owned land in other townships, all of them hardly residents at all."

(snip)

"... Plumly took up land in the southwest corner of the (Northampton) township, about Scottsville, and now part of Southampton. He died shortly after and his widow married Henry Paxson, of Middletown, in 1684."

favored by his step father Henry Paxson

In 1688 (Henry Paxson) deeded 125 acres to his stepson '''William Plumley''', who had recently become twenty-two years old. In 1698 he and his daughter Elizabeth Burgess deeded 500 acres with "divers goods and chattels" to two more stepsons, James and John Plumley, soon after the latter reached twenty-two.[11]
