He had purchased of William Penn before leaving England, in partnership with Thomas Barrett, 875 acres, of which the Heacock share was 250 acres by deed of lease and release dated 11 and 12 of 2 mo. 1682. He took up his 250 acres in Falls Township, Bucks County, and also 50 acres adjoining on rent, the purchase of which he never completed. Having secured his home in Pennsylvania, he returned to Staffordshire for his family, and died at Slindon 9 mo. 10, 1695. The records of the land office in Pennsylvania show that letters of administration were granted on his estate to Elizabeth Venables, a sister to Barrett, and that she sold the 300 acres to Gilbert Wheeler, and that the real estated was surveyed on 1 mo. 24, 1700-01, and patented to James Paxon, a purchaser of Wheeler.
