General Notes: Husband - Phinehas Eachus


He was the first landlord of the Turk's Head tavern.

The family tradition is that a Masonic lodge held meetings at his house, and that he became responsible for the debts of some of them, which brought about his financial ruin. The sheriff seized his property, and the most of the land passed into the possession of Isaiah Matlack, the tavern being purchased by John Hoopes. He must have had a taste for the classics, as he named two of his sons Virgil and Paris.


Notes: Marriage

They were married at Goshen Meeting.
