John Buzby was a Quaker weaver of Milton, in the parish of Shipton (England). [1]
"John Buzby, weaver and Mary, his wife of Milton in the Parish of Shipton arrived at Philadelphia in 1682. Their children were John, William, Edward, Richard,Nicholas, Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah. William and Richard settled in the neighborhood of Frankford, Pennsylvania. Nicholas, the ancestor of the New Jersey branch, married Mary French, daughter of Thomas and Jane French, the progenitors of the French family in Burlington County, on Eighth month 30th, 1695 and settled in the neighborhood of Rancocas. It is interesting to note in passing that Richard married Hannah French, sister of Mary on thesame day. The double wedding occurred in the old meeting house at Burlington. In 1714, Nicholas Buzby purchased 280 acres on the north side of Rancocas Creek from his brother-in-law, Charles French. This was part of the original French tract located about two miles below the forks of the Creek. The Buzby farm came into the possession of Governor William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin, in 1770 and is still known locally as Franklin Park. The Buzbys of Moorestown and Rancocas and Walter J. Buzby of Atlantic City, are descended from Amos, son of Nicholas and Mary Buzby and his second wife, Rebecca Matlack." [2]
