HISTORY OF BUCKS COUNTY.

part of a tract of 520 acres taken up by 

 the latter in 1701. He died a few months 

 after his father, sometime between the 

 date of his will, April 27, 1727, and the 

 date of its proof, September 24 of the 

 same year. His wife's name is un- 

 ^ known, and as she is not mentioned in 

 'his will, and a minor son is directed to 

 reside with his uncle John during mi- 

 nority, it is presumed that she died short- 

 ly before her husband. His children 

 were: William, who died without issue 

 in 1783; Euclides, Lydia, Martha, and 

 Sarah. The latter married a Stradling, 

 and another daughter married a Smith. 

 Euclides Scarborough, second son of 

 William, was born in Solebury, and was 

 a minor at the death of his father. By 

 the will of the latter he was directed to 

 "be apprenticed to John Heed "to learn 

 the art of making German Wheels." 

 Whether the parental direction was fol- 

 lowed does not appear. He did learn 

 the trade of a blacksmith, and followed 

 it for many years in Solebury in con- 

 nection with farming. He inherited from 

 h\s father the homestead of sixty acres 

 of land, but in 1746 sold it and purchased 

 two tracts of over one hundred acres of 

 his brother William. In 1762 he re- 

 purchased the sixty acre homestead, 

 and probably resided thereon until 1770, 

 although he later purchased one hundred 

 and sixty acres in the present limits of 

 New Hope borough of John Coryell, 

 which he sold at different periods in 

 tracts of forty-nine to seventy acres. In 

 1770 he closed out all his real estate 

 and removed with his wife Mary and all 

 of his children, except Isaac, the eldest, 

 to Maryland, where he died in 1808. 

 The children of Euclides and Mary 

 Scarborough, were as follows, all of
