Other Comments:

Farm Size (Acres) is from the 1956 Upper (Montgomery) County Land Use Map which has the land owned by William A Riley.  Dots Elgin said (in 2017) that Harry Grubb ran a dairy farm here before Riely owned the farm.  William A. Riely also ran a dairy operation here.

Historically, the John Young Farm.
