He owned the famous "King George's Inn" later changed to the "George Washington Inn". I am descended from his son Bowers who married Anna Sipple. They had seven children. Two of his sons - Waitman and Caleb fought in the Revolution. Waitman married Margaret Craigue. He and his son Bowers and Bowers' first wife Willimina Cammel left Delaware and settled in modern day Morgantown, West Virginia.
