Eliphaz, the tavern owner
Eliphaz was born in 1689, son of Hugh and Margaret. He apparently lived in the Prince George's county area all his life. He married Elizabeth Burkett in 1714 and had ten children. He is on record as purchasing the above-mentioned Hop yard tract of land. He is on record requesting a license for an ordinary or tavern in 1750. Eliphaz is listed signing a petition for the erection of a new county from Prince George's and Frederick's, which would become known as Montgomery County. He was a member of the Reformed Church of England. In his will dated December 8, 1759, he left the Hop yard to the children of his sons James and Jeremiah.
