Robert and Ann EYRE settled permanently in Bethel Twp, Delaware County, PA. However, branches of this family are said to have settled in Burlington, NJ and Bucks County, PA. Robert and Ann's son, William b: 1698 inherited the Bethel Twp holdings. We suspect that Robert[2] EYRE and/or Francis EYRE settled in Burlington, NJ and/or Bucks County, PA.
