P. W. Zeigler / Lamb Tavern/ Roughwood tract
 

Note: in these deed histories distances are quoted in perches (p) of length 16.5 feet. Areas are quoted in acres (a) and square perches (p). There are 160 square perches to an acre. In a few cases roods (a quarter of an acre) are also used.

For the earlier deed history see Shardlow(east) tract

The major part of this tract and buildings were in Tredyffrin township. In fact Breou’s atlas is probably wrong in ascribing the ownership in 1883 to Peter Zeigler. He had already sold the tract to Biddle & Leaming.
