Saturday, August 5 at noon Reunion

Sullivan pavilion, Washington Crossing Park across from Bowman’s Tower.

Hello Pidcock Cousins near and far,

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are having a mild winter. We in Alabama are having a typical season, High’s have been in the 70’s the last few days and this weekend we are predicted to have a wintery mix of snow and rain and high temps in the 40’s.

We are excited to announce that this years Family Reunion/ Biz meeting will be held the first Saturday in August the 5th, starting at noon in the Sullivan Pavilion. This is the one located behind the Pidcock house.

This year we will have a special guest speaker, Carl LaVo who has written articles about the area including about the Pidcock house for local papers there in Bucks County Pa.

A big shout out to Peggy Sellers for bringing this to our attention.

Hope to see you there,

Alan Pidcock

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.
