William (1) is Benjamin's father.... I suppose his elder brother WIlliam got the NJ land and Benjamin accompanied his father William to Bucks county.

inherited a grist mill but is also known as a shoemaker

Byberry Creek is formed from two branches that flow through Northeast Philadelphia, Wilsons Run and Waltons Run.

Waltons Run, the western stream, flows across land of the Northeast Philadelphia Airport. Wilsons Run, the eastern stream, is sometimes considered a continuation of the main stream Byberry Creek. The two tributaries join to form the main channel of Byberry Creek near Academy Road adjacent to Archbishop Ryan High School as seen in aerial images of the area at coordinates 40.086609°N 74.984436°W.

"The township of Byberry is situated about fourteen miles north-east of Philadelphia; a creek called Poquessing, or, as it was anciently termed, Poetque-sink (place of mice), dividing it from Bensalem, in the county of Bucks. Byberry contains near six thousand acres of good soil, and was first settled chiefly, or altogether by Friends, divers of whom were passengers in the ships which came with William Penn in 1682.

Early after their arrival, the following persons located themselves in this neighbourhood,—viz:

Giles Knight , from Gloucestershire, Mary his wife, and their son Joseph; John Carver, from Hertfordshire, maltster, his wife Mary, and daughter Mary who was born near Philadelphia, four days after Penn landed at Newcastle; John Hart, from Oxfordshire, Susannah his wife, and several children; Richard Collett and Elizabeth his wife; Nathaniel Walton, Thomas Walton, Daniel Walton, and William Walton—four brothers, young men.

In 1683, came John Rush, an elderly Friend, from Oxfordshire, his five sons and a daughter;—also his son William Rush, with Aurelia his wife and three children. Soon after, we find among the settlers, John Gilbert, Florence his wife, and their son Joseph; William Nichols and wife; and William Hibbs,

Walter Forrest, Henry English, Thomas Knight, Joseph English, Samuel Ellis, and Thomas Groome."

Giles Knight, mentioned above, was the husband of Mary Comly whose family grant of land was quite large. Benjamin Albertson and his brother and father figured in a land deal with the Comly family. see: http://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000030389955552
