Sharon, >From your description of the property, I'd say it was pretty close to a place called Old Mill Race Wines. Paste this into Google Maps: Old Mill Race Wines, 1439 Clover Mill Rd, Chester Springs, PA 19425 This business would have had some reason for choosing this name, and the Pickering Creek is not far north of their location. Their "Olde Mill Race" could well be the mill race on the property you seek. I suggest further that you see if Chester County deeds are online, or maybe you already have the metes and bounds of the property. Read this carefully for some definitive boundary feature that can be located on a current map. There might be a clue in this property description, or that of a neighboring property owner, that would exactly locate your property. If you zoom out to about halfway on the Google map in "Map View", you can see some faint gray lines. These are the outlines of the current properties. If you were to use one of the free deed plotting software programs, you could plot your deed to get the shape of the property and compare it with those you can see on the Google map. It's not easy, but I have done this sort of thing with properties in Lancaster County. Email me directly if you wish further advice.

Graphite mines?? Look for Mosesville on Horseshoe Trail Road where it crosses 113, the Graphite mines are south of 113. There were many hits for Mosesville in the 1861census when I went looking but I couldn't find the online Gazetteers at Ancestry - the old landowners maps from 1873 and 188?.

I have an ADC map book of Chester County ...... They are very detailed and there is no Mosesville in either the index or on the map of West Pikeland twp.

If any of you have a tie to the Sharp family, in Burlington, NJ, you need to get a copy of Sampler andAntique Needlework..... Vol.19, #1. Spring 2013. These folks were Quakers. with 3 sons of Wm Sharp (Northamptonshire ,England) who emigrated from England in 1682. The article includes a pics of a wonderful sampler made by Lydia Sharp in 1838, and also a fairly detailed genealogy. Anyone interested in the Sharp family would be over the moon with this article!

I'm not working on the Chester County Allisons but I do have some familiarity with the Francis and Robert Alisons.  Francis apparently did have other children besides his son Francis Jr but Futhey & Cope did not name them in their History of Chester County.  There were many Allisons rattling around southeastern Pennsylvania in the 18th century but the descendants of Francis Alison that I have researched were pretty consistent about spelling their surname with only the one 'ell'.
