He bought a tract of 73 acres, 18 perches, for 45 Lbs. from James Hazen and his wife Eleanor under an Indenture dated April 24, 1800. This land was Patented to William Harsha by the State of Pennsylvania March 2, 1798 (See Pa. Patent Book 33, pages 548,) and conveyed to Henry Kuykendall in Dec. 1798, who conveyed to James Hazen on December 4, 1798. See Book A-1, page 507)
An Indenture dated June 22, 1807, found in Book 2, page 115, conveys the above 73 acres 18 perches from Peter Lance to Hezekiah Wallace for $150.00. Note that there was no relenquishment of dower rights by a wife, suggesting that Peter may have been a widower at that time. Peter's grandson, Peter Ferrell did name a daughter Elanor. No other children have daughters named Eleanor, but several have daughters named Sarah. However, Peter Lance also appears in Shenango Twp. for Census 1810 where A female between ages 26 to 44 appears on his Census. This could be his wife, Eleanor.
Transcribed census shows Peter Lance in Census for Milton Twp., Richland Co., Ohio for 1820, although I have been unable to find him on the original image in that record.
Peter Lance appears in the Richland County, Ohio Census, 1830, Milton Twp., pg. 128, Line 11. He is over 70 and less than 80 years of age. From this his date of birth is estimated at 1759. Since his wife's age is listed between 50 and 60, it is thought that she may not be the mother of all Peter's recorded children.
Peter Lance appears in 1805 Tax list, Hanover Twp., Beaver Co., Pa.: 73 acres, 2 cows, 2 horses.
Peter Lance appears in 1815 Tax list, Hanover Twp., Beaver Co., Pa.: 100 acres, 2 horses, 1 cow.
For some of the information on Peter and Eleanor Lance's family we are indebted to Becky Gilmore, Jerilyn Schabacker, Nikki Lance, Janet Rhodebeck, Mitzi Bame and Sandy Lance Andrews, all descendants of Peter Lance.
