    "In its long history, the Neebor Lee property had owners of many different religious and political persuasions.
    ...Thirty-three years before Peter (Horning) built his stone house, another gentleman who was influenced by the American Revolutionary War owned the property. That gentlemen was Henry Vanderslice. Henry was born in Providence, Pennsylvania on March 9, 1726 and married Catherine Petronella Sassamanhausen on October 23, 1750. One year after his marriage he inherited from his father, Anton VANDERSLICE, the plantation upon which Peter HORNING would later build the Neebor Lee house. Henry would own the Neebor Lee property from 1751 to 1758."

  • From the blog, "The Neebor Lee", Father, Son and Holy Ghost ^[3] quoting the “Statement of Significance” submitted to the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission for review in 1973:

    "The construction was accomplished by owner Peter HORNING who acquired the land from his father, Ludwig HORNING, a carpenter. While building the “Father” section of the main house the family would traditionally have lived in the LODGE, one of the nearby supporting cluster and possibly the oldest building here. Note that Ludwig Horning (D.B.7, p. 84) deeded to another son, Michael HORNING, other land in 1784 “Beginning at a corner of Peter Horning’s land…" ”
