I swear I've seen the full 1881 edition online somewhere but all I can find tonight is this 'limited preview' edition on Google.  Still, for those of you who are interested in Chester County genealogy but have never seen the county history book, this glimpse of what J. Smith Futhey and Gilbert Cope assembled will make your jaws drop - there are few counties in America with the age, breadth, and depth of historical and genealogical data as Chester County, and with great local 19th century genealogists to take advantage of it... http://books.google.com/books?id=eYIxsNX28t8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Gilbert+Cope John

Try this link. Some kind soul transcribed it. The document is a word document, which makes it easy to search. http://www.archive.org/details/HistoryOfChesterCountyPennsylvania1881 Happy hunting, Carol T.
