• Notes

  In 1681, William Lane bought 1000 acres from William Penn, a personal friend. His son, Edward Lane, from 1698-1705 bought 4,000 more acres on both sides of the Perkiomen Creek. He built and operated an inn of the west bank of the creek... now the oldest hotel in the United States. William Lane, who married Cecilia Love, was a grocer in Bristol, England and a Quaker. William was one of the first purchasers of land (500 A.) from Wm. Penn. Edward is thought to have come to PA prior to 1683. He resided temporarily in Bristol Twp, where 250 acres of the land of his father were laid out for him. (Pennypacker) [1]
