Notes for John BUCKLEY

John Buckley, Jr. of Melksam in the county of Wilts, England, purchased from William Penn 250 acres of land in Pennsylvania, by deeds of lease and release, dated Sept 5 & 6, 1781. This land was surveyed Nov. 8, 1684 in
Birmingham Twp & included the present Brandywine Summit Station P.W. & B.R.R. John Buckley probably arrived in 1682 but did not settle on this land, making his residence instead on the Delaware River and Naaman's Creek in
Brandywine Hundred, where he took up 100 acres by a warrant dated 4-30-1683. To this he gave the name of "Trouble Field" as returned by the surveyor. Tradition says that he returned to England & married Hannah Sanderso
daughter of Dr. Sanderson, of Ferry Bridge, Yorkshire. Also that his mother was Mary Empson. It is certain that his neighbor, Cornelius Empson, came from Yorkshire; that one of his wives was Mary (?) Sanderson & that in 1689 he married her sister Elizabeth Sanderson.--Smedley, p 131. Hannah Buckley signed wedding certificate of Alphonsus Kirk & Abigail Sharpley, 12-23-1792
