About Cuthbert Hayhurst, III
Immigration: 1682 Aboard the Lamb with William Penn
quote from Cha. 21 of Davis
"For nearly forty years after its settlement, what is now Northampton township was known and called "the adjacents of Southampton."(6) When created it was formed out of territory not embraced in the surrounding township, and was the last to be organized in this section of the county excepting Warwick, which joined it on the northwest. The 11th of December, 1722, a number of the inhabitants "settled between Southampton, Warminster and Neshaminy," petitioned the court to lay out this district of country into a township under the name of Northampton. The petitioners state that there are "forty settlements," probably meaning that number of families, were settled in the district. The petition was accompanied by a draft of the township with its present boundaries. We have not been able to find any record of the action the court took upon the subject, but no doubt the prayer of the petitioners was granted, and the township allowed and organized. It was probably named after Northampton, in England, the county seat of the county of the same name, sixty miles northwest of London. The names of those who petitioned for the organization of Northampton township are, Clement Dungan, James Carrell, Thomas Dungan, Ralph Dunn, Jeremiah Bartholomew, Francis Kroesen, Cephas Childs, John Routlege, Christian Vanhorne, John Hayhurst, Cuthbert Hayhurst, Robert Heaton, William Stockdale, William Shepherd, James Shaw, John Shaw, James Heaton, Benjamin Jones, William Clukenberry, Jeremiah Dungan, and Johannes Van Boskirk. Among these names there is hardly one of the first settlers, who appear to have been supplanted by others."
