Cord Cordis was the innkeeper in 1771 and John Bryant was licensed in 1790.

Cordis had seen her backward glance, and noted her steps grow slower with a complacent smile.
Moreover, now that she had warned Cordis that Madeline was pre-empted property, she hoped he would turn his attention elsewhere.
"I'm not so foolish as I look, Mr. Cordis," said she, rather sharply.
