Heritage of the Pidcock Family

Lawrence Smith and sons Thomas, left, and Christian.

Honoring family history

At its sixth reunion in August 1919, the Pidcock Family Association placed this bronze tablet on a boulder along Pidcock Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Last September, a trio of Smiths, all descendants of John Pidcock, posed for a photo alongside the plaque. Lawrence Smith holds his son Christopher, and older brother Thomas stands on the left. Lawrence is the current president of the Pidcock Family Association.

The tablet says:

“On this spot on a tract of land

of 505 acres called by the Indians

Win-Ah-Haw-Caw-Chunk

John Pidcock, the first white settler,

built mills and established a trading

post with the Indians in 1684.”
