Notes
Marriage
John, who was a stone-mason by trade, came to Abington. In 1712 he purchased a tract of 200 acres of land in Abington, on the Upper Dublin line. In 1722 he built for Sir William Keith, then Governor of Pennsylvania, the historic mansion in Horsham, known as Graeme Park, still standing, though now unused. The solid walls of this old house remain a monument to his thorough work. He married at Abington Meeting, in the same year (1722) Sarah, daughter of Reynier Tyson, the Mennonite or Quaker immigrant, whose arrival at Germantown, with others of the Crefeld company, has already been mentioned.1722 Marraige Record of John KIRK and Sarah TYSON. - xerox copy - "Whereas John Kirk & Sarah Tyson having Declared their Intentions of Marraige with each other before two Mo.
