Passyunk was the first tract of land above the marsh-land in the Neck, which latter has since become fast land.

From the head of Pinneys Creek the boundary extended in a straight line towards the southeast, to a point which formed the boundary of Moyamensing </wiki/Moyamensing%2C_Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania>, thence south by west to the limit of the fast-land and over in irregular shape to the Schuylkill. The northeastern boundary was about on the parallel of Twelfth Street. Passyunk occupied something more than a full quarter of the fast-land south of Philadelphia. It became a township at a very early period.

Note: Dr. Peter Craig has five children for John and Helena/Elinor but a deposition from Charleston County, SC Probate Judge, Miscellaneous Records, 17578-1763 FHL Film #194647 p. 294-296 SC Archives microfilm #ST368A (per posting by Pat Bezet pkbezet@cox.net 19 June 2007 to the Bankston mailing list at RW .... Jacob Bankston was a 75-year-old man on 23 April 1760 when he went before the Mayor of Phil. Pa. and told about the family of this Andrew who at this point was deceased in S.C. He said that he had been at the marriage of <u>John Bankston and Elnoir</u> and that they had<u> SIX children</u>. He said he had known Andrew for 28 years before he moved to SC. He also said that Andrew and Peter were brothers of whole blood and the eldest sons of John and Elnoir. John and Elnoir were both deceased (pp. 295-6)
p. 294-5, Peter Bankson is also in Phil. Pa 23 April 1760 appearing as the legal heir of his brother Andrew. He says that Andrew was a resident of Berkley County, SC and ... gives "someone" in SC the right to take care of the business of his brother."
This Jacob Bankson was the paternal uncle (brother of John Bankson b. 1681) to Andrew and Peter Bankson.
Andrew died in 1759 Peter died in 1766 There was a sister, Deborah and two younger sons, John, d. 1772 and Jacob who d. in 1757. ================================ The John BANKSTON who married Mary HOLLAND (daughter of Thomas) mentioned previously, was born about 1716 in Philadelphia; married 14 June 1752, Gloria Dei Church, Philadelphia; and died about 13 March 1772 in Philadelphia.
This John BANKSON was the brother of the Jacob BANKSON, born 1720 -- his (Jacob's) DOB determined from his death record [Source: FHL Film #511,.822 Gloria Dei, Old Swedes Church, Burials, 1750-1878, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA p. 17. 1757. August. Jacob Bankson, d. 5 August, buried 6 August.. aged 37 years]. [Source: FHL Film #511,811, Old Swedes, Gloria Dei Burials, 1750-1878, Philadelphia.]
This Jacob BANKSON (1720-1757) left a will (as mentioned])-- [source: Register of Wills, City Hall, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; FHL film #21,724, Vol. K, p. 557] dated 2 August 1757 in Philadelphia (probated 10 August 1757); NO ISSUE.
His wife was Eleanor "Elinor" COX whom he married 14 June 1753 in Gloria Dei Church, Philadelphia [Source: FHL Film #511,806. Glori Dei Marriages, Baptisms and Burial, 1750-1789, #31, page 11 -- Jacob BANKSON and Eleanor COX, married by license 11 June 1753.
Jacob and John BANKSON were the sons of John BANKSON (1681-1739) and Helena "Elinor" COCK (COX) d/o Peter COCK and Helena HELM -- just to add confusion with duplication of names, which is a common problem in all American genealogies.
The children are this John and Helena "Elinor" identified so far are (supposedly there are six children, but I have identified only five):
i. Andrew [died 1759 in South Carolina]. No known issue -- left the bulk of his estate to his brother, Peter BANKSON].
ii. Peter [died 10 Sep 1766, Philadelphia; married Esther LINN, Philadelphia]. 6 known children.
iii. Deborah [married John LORD 8 June 1751, Philadelphia] at least 2 children
iv. John [married Mary HOLLAND 1752 in Philadelphia; d. in 1772] (do not have their children yet).
v. Jacob [married Eleanor "Elinor" COX 14 June 1753, Philadelphia; died 5 August 1757, Philadelphia]. No issue. She probably is the Elinor BANKSON who married Nathaniel PETTIT in 1760.

There is another Jacob BANKSON mentioned in the Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church Burials, 1750-1878, Philadelphia, PA (FHL film #511,811, p. 44) -- he died in 1788 and was aged 84 in April, so he was born ca 1704. [It mentions that in Swedish the surname was BENGSTON.]. He was the son of Bengt BANKSON and Catherine COCK. He married Hannah BOND. 10 children.
The Jacob BANKSON with the 1760 will, who died in August 1766 was the son of Anders "Andrew" BANKSON and Gertrude RAMBO and was the one who married Margaret COCK (daughter of Lars "Lesse" COCK and Martha ASHMEAD). This Jacob was born 19 October 1684. 3 known children. You will find information about this Jacob (see #6) at the Colonial Swedes website:
