Information on Henry Work

From "History of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania", by Franklin Ellis and Samuel Evans, pg. 281:

During the probate of the Rev. Alexander Craighead, a tract of land containing about one hundred acres was conveyed by a deed dated June 20, 1738, by John, Thomas, and Richard Penn to Henry Work, Alexander Craighead, Robert Matthews, and Hugh Barclay, "for the use of the Presbyterian congregation dwelling near the same." This tract of land is still in possession of the Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church and parsonage now stand, which was conveyed to that church for that purpose.
