The 99 Breaker Lane farm stayed in the Martin family until 1951. Five generations of Martin's had lived there. ABC Groff, New Holland, who was married to a descendant of the original Stauffer family, purchased it at public sale. Eventually the farm became his daughter's who was married to John Charles Miller, photographer in New Holland. While in his hands the farm was registered with the historical society. Today in 2020 his grandson C Miller, Philadelphia owns and maintains it and rents the house to one party and rents the land to the owners of the Stauffer Homestead Farm.
