Deed of Samuel Lane to John Richardson, dated 16 Mar 1771: 201 Acres, 100 perches, "now in possession or tenure of Thomas Church... for 1200 pounds... buildings". This deed does not mention a tavern but Samuel's will mentions the tavern place recently sold for 1200 pounds. It appears from Samuel's will, the tavern was being operated by his-son-law, Thomas Church who had married his daughter, Martha. Thomas Church was taxed as an innholder with no acres in 1769, the year he married Martha. He purchased 1 ¾ acres directly opposite of Perkiomen Bridge Hotel on the east bank of the Perkiomen Creek from, Edward Lane 17 August 1770. The executors of Samuel Lane sold Thomas Church 100 acres, 60 perches in 1772. [After the death of his first wife, Martha, in December 1770, Thomas Church married Edward Lane's daughter, Ann.]

Deed of Samuel Lane's Executors to John Reed dated 28 Aug 1778, 81 acres and 152 perches. This was the land that Samuel Lane had set aside for the use of his sister, Eleanor Robeson.

John Reed mortgaged 77 acres, 92 perches of the land on 29 August 1778 to the Executors which was to be paid by 1 August 1785.
