On 28 May 1792 they purchased a tract of land in Northumberland (Potter Twp.) (Now Centre Co,) PA. 100 acres & 78 perches. The property called "Morr Hall".

On 28 May 1813 they purchased the Hostetter Farm so he could carry on his business. The panic of 1815-1825 put him in insolvency and George Meyers bought the farm in 1827.
