From Gillingham Family, Descendants of Yeamans Gillingham, p 11:
Yeamans moved from Bucks county to Frankford about 1792, on the original farm, or nearly all of it, owned by his grandfather, Yeamans Gillingham, which he purchased after it had been out of the family for many years. The Friends' meeting house on Unity street, Frankford, was built on land which Yeamans Gillingham gave them. Yeaman's will was signed 8th mo. 4, 1824, proved 5th mo. 9, 1825 (Book 8, p 512, No. 154, Philadelphia)
Yeamans and Bridget had ten children and sixty-two grandchildren.

From Biographical, Genealogical and Descriptive History of the First Congressional DIstrict of New Jersey, The Lewis Publishing Company, New York and Chicago, 1900, p 86: The 100 acres Yeamans purchased in Osford township, now Frankford, from WIlliam Penn in 1696, and afterward sold that property to Thomas Bristol, who, on November 11, 1786, sold it to Henry Paul, and the last named sold it to Yeamans Gillingham, the grandson of Yeamans Gillingham, first. The latter transaction occurred Marych 9, 1793. His property included all the land enclosed by the road leading from the United States arsenal around to the Friend's meeting-house, thence northwest to the Black Run, thence by nearly a straight line from Sacony creek to the river and the arsenal road again.
Yeamans either died there or moved with his son James to the edge of Salisbury township, near the Buckingham meeting-house.
