I believe Route 340 was called the King's Highway. Route 30 or the Lincoln Highway was originally a turnpike between Philadelphia and Lancaster. However there is a King Road between West Chester and Exton, if you are traveling North on Route 100 from West Chester, King Road is to the right near Boot Road, several miles north of Taylor Run. West Goshen is a township which butts up against West Chester. Milly **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

In 1741 King's Road, between Philadelphia and Lancaster, was completed. The road has been called the Provincial Road, the Philadelphia Road and Old Lancaster Road. Part of it is presently Swedesford Road. http://www.lowermerionhistory.org/texts/schmidtd/way_west.html The King Road you mention, near Boot Road, was not in existence at that time. -----Original Message----- From: MillyEAllison@aol.com [mailto:MillyEAllison@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 1:19 PM To: gail@gregsteckel.com; mac_mag_hol@sbcglobal.net; PA-CENSUS-LOOKUP@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PA-CENSUS-LOOKUP] Me Again!!
