  • Notes 

    • Jacob Seltzer Spang was the individual for whom the borough of Spangsville was named in 1840. The Spang home, built by his father, Frederick, in 1792, still stands in that area. (William Neislar)http://searches1.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/pa/montgomery/history/local/mchb0051.txt

      History: Local: Chapter XLVII: Borough of Norristown - Part II : Bean's 1884 History of Montgomery Co, PA

      In 1837 the public-houses had increased to nine. The "Washington" was kept by Abraham Markley, the "Rising Sun" by Samuel Sharpless, the "Eagle" by Henry Kerr, the Norristown Hotel by Jacob Spang, and the "Pennsylvania Farmer" by Daniel Emery.
      As indicative of the charges going on, we may mention that as public-houses the Washington House, the Rising Sun and Norristown Hotel have for some time ceased to exist. The "Eagle" is the present Rambo House, since greatly enlarged.
