Mr. Lane was a major shareholder in the Farmers Bank of Greencastle. http://files.usgwarchives.org/pa/franklin/xmisc/fmbank01.txt Also, from Historical Sketch of Franklin County, 1878 by I H McCauley: OAK GROVE FISH FARM- GEORGE W. ETTER, PROPRIETOR. This very attractive place is located in Peters township, two and a half miles southwest of Mercersburg and a short mile from Leh- master's Station, on the S. P. R. R., at which place there is a post office. This railroad runs within 200 yards of the mansion house, and the farm is bounded on the southwest by the West Conoco- cheague Creek, The springs which supply the trout pools were formerly known as Dobbins' Springs. The land was first taken up by Robert Newell, in the year 1742. It passed into the hands of General Thomas Waddle about the jear 1800. In 1829 Thomas C. Lane became its owner, and in 1837 it was sold to Isaac Wanner, and in 1859, at public outcry, to George Etter, the father of the present proprietor, who received his deed in 1862, having resided on the farm already for two years. The house and barn were built by General Waddle in the year 1812. If a Putnam and a Muhlenberg have made their names immortal by their prompt responses to their country's call, so also should the name of General Thomas Waddle pass down upon the page of historj' as one equally worthy of a country's gratitude and honor. Whilst this house, which has been remodeled by its present owner, in the year 1871, was being built, the nation called upon her brave yoemen to defend Baltimore. Hastily boarding up the windows of his unfinished house, General W. took up his trusty sword and marched to tlie front of the fray.

For example: Greenwalt, Grenwalt, Greenwald, Greenawalt, Greenwaldt, Grenewald, Grenewalt. Since Franklin County wasn't organized until 1784, the early township tax records (1778, 1779, 1780, 1781 and 1782) are part of Cumberland County tax records and are found in the Third Series, Volume 20.
