It was then divided (Philadelphia Wills) S, 347) among his three daughters and their husbands: John and Rosannah Harner were given the home place, now estimated as 66 acres, and a 14-acre field at the north corner of BYBERRY and DAVISVILLE roads; John and Sophia Rhoads received the balance of the Garrison and Carrington tracts; while Henry and Elizabeth Bickley inherited the 57 acres formerly belonging to Randolph Morgan. The Harners sold their land to Richard Kimble in 1806 (Montgomery Deeds 24, 505), but the other families held their properties until after 1830. When the RICHARD MARPLE estate was broken up in 1756-7, the Court gave 22 acres to the oldest son Richard, 15 acres to a daughter SUSANNAH, wiffe of SAMUEL BUTCHER, another 15 acres to a younger son Northrup, and the remaining 8 1/2 acres, with the family residence, tod the youngest son DAVID. All of RICHARD's and Northrup's land and 5 1/2 acres of David's were were sold almost immediately to their neighbor Moses Vancourt, while SUSANNAH's 15 acres were bought by another neighbor, JOhn Jones. When Vancourt left the neighborhood, a year or two later, he sold 13 3/4 acres to Jones and the remainder to John Crosleyt (Pennsylvania Deeds I 6, 524 X 4, 17). The three acres remaining in young DAVID MARPLE's possession formed a long, narrow strip on the east side of York Road, including the former Peter Lycan cabin and lot and adjoining land lying on both sides dof the present EAST MORELAND AVENUE. In December 1757, MARPLE conveyed this property to Abraham Bond (Pennsylvania Deeds I 16, 184), a chairmaker, who operated a small chair-factory on the premises until his death in 1775. During his ownership, he replaced the log cabin with a substantial stone residence, which stood at the southeast corner of YORK ROAD and MORELAND AVENUE until recent years. After Bond's death, the property was sold to William Miller of Philadlephia (Pennsylvania I 16, 189), and by Miller's estate to Jacob Tomkins in 1779 (Montgomery Deeds 10, 309)." A map on page 268 shows the names of streets. Vertically, Byberry Road [1720] strretches from the south to the center of the intersection of York Road [1711] on the west side and Warminister Road [1761] on the east side. Byberry Road itself is on the Manor Line all the way to the end of the north in Hatboro (next to Horsham). DAVID MARPLE owned two patents, one on Manor Line [1741] and on Moreland Road [1758]. Pennypack Creek divides BYBERRY ROAD and YORK ROAD. On the west side of the Pennyopack Creek were the homes of ISAAC WALTON [1715] , JACOB WALTON [1763] JEREMIAH WALTON [1715], THOMAS WALTON [1763]. On the east side of the Creek was the home of Mary Keach ["ca. 1689"], Margaret Loofburrow [1740], John Crosley [1740], Thomas Lloyd [1738]. In the northeast intersection of York Road and BYBERRY ROAD on Warminister Road was the third home of DAVID MARPLE [1734]. JOHN BOUTCHER used to live somewhere on Byberry Road between Warminister Road (in the north) and Davidsville Road (in the south) on the east side of the Pennypack Creek in 1690s-1707. The Benjamin Boutcher family was married into the Walton family in Bucks County near the border of the Manor of Moreland Line in Montgomery County. Jean
