From Davis history of Bucks:
Although John Chapman was the first to penetrate the wilderness of
Wrightstown, he was not long the only white inhabitant, for within two
years William Smith, of Yorkshire,came to dispute with him the honors and
hardships of pioneer life. He bought 100 acres of Mr. Chapman and
afterward patented several hundred acres adjoining, extending to Newtown
and the Neshaminy. His dwelling stood near where Charles Reeder lived. He
was twice married, first to Mary Croasdale, of Middletown,in 1690, and
afterward in 1720, and was the father of fourteen children. He died in
1743.
