organized in 1702-3.
Among earliest inhabitants in Wrightstown, John Chapman and James
Ratcliff, a noted preacher in the society. Soon after 1684, Chapman
went to his purchase in Wrightstown, where, within about twelve months
afterwards, his wife had two sons at one time, whence he called the
place Twinborough. At this time Chapman's place was the farthest back
in the woods of any English settlement. Thomas Langhorne came the same
year, but died soon after. 2
