Thanks to Hatton researchers,I can prove,with Penn Archives,that Adam Simmons served from York,now Adams Co,Pa 1778. I have my doubts he served from Chester Co,s e Pa, but??????? Howard Leckey's great "The Tenmile Country,and it's PIONEER FAMILIES" HAS GOOD Lakin-fee data. Abraham Lakin m a Lee about 1715 just s e of what became Wash DC, and lived at Brunswick,Md. If Wm Lee had a kinsman on 10 mile,the Lakins should be considered.
