Saving the Sergeantsville Hotel
A Personal Recollection by Charles Jurgensen

...

  The hotel [presently in Delaware Township at the intersection of Route
523 with Route 603] by this time [1920] had a rich history of serving as a
meeting place for the town and its visitors for close to one hundred and
fifty years. It was recorded that Agesilaus Gordon owned the building in
1780 and applied for a tavern license.

  In the intervening years, between Gordon's ownership and that of George
Gaddis in 1842, the tavern changes hands many times and in each case the
owner or the operator applied for a tavern license. Among the owners were
Godfrey Rockafellar (1794), John Barcroft (1799-1800), James Larew (1816)
Othniel Lake (1817) William Rake (1821), William Kugler (1825), James W. Hart
(1829) and Heniy W Wagner (1838).  Between 1851 and 1856 alone there were
five owners.
