Thomas Holme commenced a survey of the west bank of the
Delaware soon after his arrival, in 1681, and in 1684 he published
his map of the province, in London, giving the land seated, and by
whom. Of what is now Bucks county it embraces Bensalem,
Bristol, Falls, Middletown, Southampton, Northampton, the two
Maketields, Newtown, Wrightstown, Warwick, and Warrington.
There were more or less settlers in all these townships, and their names
are given, but the major part were in those bordering the Delaware.
Some of the names, no doubt, were incorrectly spelled, but cannot
now be corrected. Among them are found the names of some of
the most influential and respectable families in the county, which
have resided here from the arrival of their ancestors, now nearly
