HISTORY OF BUCKS COUNTY.

RICHLAND

p. 150 In the summer, 1701, Penn visited the Susquehanna to confer with the Indians, no doubt passing up through the county and crossing the Lehigh between its mouth and Bethlehem or in that region. He returned by way of Conestoga. The manor was not free from the depredations of horse thieves, and while Penn resided there one John Walsh drove off his roan mare and colt and a brown gelding, which gave him occasion to write to John Moore, to get the thief indicted, for "it is too much a practice to think it no fault to cheat the Governor."

p. 392 On the Point Pleasant turnpike, in the neighborhood of Danborough, is the Nicholas graveyard, so named after Samuel Nicholas, son of the man who ran the first stage-coach from Philadelphia to Wilkesbarre.* Samuel kept the Danborough tavern many years, and in company with John Moore, father of Daniel T., was proprietor of the stage-coach between Philadelphia and Easton.

p. 441 ....in 1715 two hundred acres to John Moore, and the same quantity to John Morris, of Shackamaxon, March, 1706, and two hundred and fifty acres to Michael Atkinson, adjoining Moore, and three hundred and fifty acres to Michael Lightcap in two tracts, one of one hundred and fifty acres, between Edward Roberts' and Thomas Nixon's land, and the other of two hundred acres on the west side of Arthur Jones's land. These tracts were not confirmed to Lightcap until 1732-33.
