He bought it from his father on December 27, 1766. On Dec. 19, 1767, he sold 21 acres 58 perches out of this tract to his son Conrad. On May 7, 1770, Conrad bought, from the heirs of his grandfather, David, viz. Jacob Billman, Elizabeth, wife of Adam George, and Margaret, wife of Hugh Pugh, a tract containing 110 acres 133 perches out of the original 200 acres 96 perches warranted to his grandfather on October 4, 1738*.
