Couple points on Lee's message: This is the 1718 to 1722 to 1728 problem There is NO S-I settlement in 1718/1719 in the Philadelphia region. HOWEVER, I found proof of Irish emigrants in 1719 in Abington (on Philly's northern border). They are in the church records of the Dutch Reformed church. These same families then became the founders of the Neshaminy Presbyterian Church in 1722 BUT they had always been living there! White, Pickens, Anderson, Reed, Eyre, Foster, Logan, Gillespie, Bell can be added to those listed below. These families did what many similar S-I families did in and around Boston. They stepped off the ship from Ireland, and headed to the outskirts of the established "city" and settled. Being close enough to "civilization" and church worship they didn't need to cluster together like the settlers of Londonderry, Casco, Worcester, and Donegal, PA. There is a record of at least one ship that arrived in late 1718 in Philly's ports from Ireland. Allen Township in Lehigh Valley is the Irish Settlement. It is 10 miles from Easton almost due west, and directly north of current day Bethlehem. There is no Warwick Township in this area. It is assumed by many that the people of the Irish or Craig settlement came from the Neshaminy Church and Warwick Township and sorrounding areas. The Log College and Neshaminy Church are in current day- Warwick Township, Bucks County. Colin Brooks The 1718 Project In a message dated 3/30/2010 5:45:52 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: The migration in 1719 to Pennsylvania would seem to be directed to the Scotch-Irish settlement "at the forks of the Neshaminy" in what was then the center of Bucks Co., PA, as Northampton Co, PA was not formed until 1752. The land to this settlement had no ownership until it was purchased by Chief-Justice Allen in 1735, and who sold title of land to the individual settlers, bringing stability to this early community. Thus, no land deed records until 1735. The Neshaminy Presbyterian Church was established about 1726 with William Tennent as its first pastor. Some of the early families are identified as Jamison, Ramsey, Archibald, McCullough, McMicken, Henderson and Wallace. Some of the settlers at the forks of the Neshaminy settlers most likely were part of the settlement at the forks of the Delaware (Easton) in East Allen Township, in 1737, which became known as the "Craig Settlement" with Warwick as its center. Warwick Township had been formed 1733 by residents of Middleburg Township. Some of these early families are identified as Craig, Jamison, Baird, Stewart, Hair, Long, Weir, Armstrong, Gray, Graham and Wallace. Lee Ramsey
