They lived on Hosier Lane, London, ENG. In July 1682 John bought from William Penn for five pounds, 250 acres along Neshaminy Creek, near Longhorne, Middleton TWP, Bucks Co., PA. In October 1682, he arrived in America with son John. In 1684, leaving their son in America, he returned to London to get Sarah, but she was afraid to cross the ocean and refused to leave. By this time the persecutions of Quakers in England had declined, so he stayed there with her. His will was made in 1696 and was witnessed by William Penn."
