Research note

The source above is an index and does not show the actual page. It gives the impression that Thomas Stackhouse and Grace were married prior to arrival in 1682. The marriage shows the date of 1688 in Bucks County, PA. Without seeing the actual immigration record, I cannot tell if this is true or if they were simply on the same ship. I believe the 1688 marriage is correct.

Death

October 8, 1708 Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania^{[10] [11]}

Burial

Union Cemetery,Quakertown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania^[12]

Grace Heaton was the first wife of Thomas Stackhouse 1660-1774. His second wife was Ann Mayos. His third wife was Dorothy Heston.
