Mrs. Ryer of Fort Washington east side of the road, near Laurel Hill: "My mother was a sister of Blaze's Moore. My brother Jacob Bowers sometime ago bought a farm of a Mr. Underhill, and lives in East or West Chester - I think in East Chester. The old stone house in the field west of the road at Fort Washington was the Blue Bell Tavern of the Revolutionary war. Mr. Ryer, my husband, was born and bred here, and knows a deal about the history of Fort Wash- -ington and its vicinity. He is at present in New York."
