These three were brothers of Marey FRANCEY.
T.J. and W.L. Staples probably held the 200 acres purchased by their father James Staples from King's College in the 1820s.

(The owners of record for this land are M. Rosevear, Wm. Harper, G.H. Brown, J. Beatty, T. Gillespie and E.& M. Davey. There is a church and several residences on the north west corner. By this time John Lent would be 76 years old and probably retired from farming.)
