Another ZOOM Reunion
We’re pleased to report that plans for the Pidcock Family Association’s 2^nd annual ZOOM reunion are well under way.

Last year’s event attracted approximately 40 people from 12 states – the West Coast as well as East Coast – in the U.S. Despite the sizeable difference in time zones, Cousin Barry Pidcock joined us from New Zealand.

This year, the ZOOM reunion will take place on the afternoon of Saturday, August 21. Check-in time will begin at 1:30 p.m. EDT, with the hour-long session to begin at 2 o’clock. President Alan Pidcock will welcome participants, and the first 20 minutes will be devoted to self-introductions. Following the introductions, our formal meeting will start at 2:20.

All Pidcocks and Pidcock descendants are invited to attend. If you plan to take part, please send an email to John L. Moore at pidcock2013@yahoo.com as soon as possible.

Melody Moore, who conducted last year’s session, will host the 2021 event. Several days before August 21, she will use email to send out invitations to join the meeting.

About the Association

Our association was organized in 1913. Members trace their descent from Jonathan Pidcock (1729-1812). We held our centennial reunion in August 2013.

For many Pidcocks, a family reunion just isn’t complete without a visit to the (Pidcock)-Thompson-Neely House.

Some time prior to 1680, John Pidcock established a trading post on the western shore of the Delaware, on a 505 acre tract of land called by the Lenape Indians Win-Na-Haw-Caw-Chunk. The trading post appears on a 1680 map and William Penn acknowledged and honored Pidcock’s prior claim to this land, part of Pennsylvania, granted to Penn by King Charles II in 1681.

Sunlight outlines the oldest portion of the house, a one room cabin with hearth dating to 1702. Architectural evidence indicates the cabin was originally log or clapboard.
