Hi Diana: I could not open any of the deeds that you have posted on Rootsweb. Do they open for you? Futhey and Cope's History of Chester County I have the article on the Cromwell Pearce family [p.676] that said that "He married Margaret, dau of John and Margaret Boggs, who owned a large tract of land in Willistown adjoining the Wayne estate. Her parents were members of the Presbyterian Church, and several of their sons served as soldiers in the war of the Revolution..." === Other records from Futhey and Cope are: [p.220] 1753 tax John BOGS Willistown 1774 land owners John BOGGS Willistown [p.250] Upper Octorara Presb. Church in Sadsbury Twp. surnames inc. in the congregation: BOGGS [p.252] Doe Run Presb. Church in East Fallowfield Twp. Francis Boggs 1740. === Gwen Boyer Bjorkman gwenbj@seanet.com -----Original Message----- From: pa-old-chester-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pa-old-chester-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Diana Quinones Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 12:06 AM To: pa-old-chester Subject: Re: [PaOldC] 1729 East Town tax list Thank you Sandra for posting these tax lists..... The 1729 one of East Town is interesting because my gr4 ancestor, Frederick LANDIS (spelled LANDUS in the deed), bought the land of Francis WAYNE (WAIN on the tax list), dec'd, in a sheriff's sale of his siezed property in 1773, which had been ordered by the court. This purchase marked the first appearance in Chester Co of my LANDIS line. It seems a shame that property held in the Wayne family for over 40 years was ordered to be sold by the sheriff for an 80 pound debt to an Evan THOMAS! I had posted the deed in the land section of the board..... Frederick paid £99.6.11 for the 153+ acres of the WAYNE property in East Town bordering on Tredyffrin in the sheriff's sale. Inflation must have set in, because in 1802 Frederick paid £71.3 for 6+ acres to PENNINGTONs for an additional small piece of property next to his land! http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/chester/land/hayeslandus.txt<http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usg enweb/pa/chester/land/hayeslandus.txt> http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/chester/land/penningtonlandis.txt<http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pu b/usgenweb/pa/chester/land/penningtonlandis.txt> Diana in AL LANDIS, HIGH and SAVAGE descendent ----- Original Message ----- From: Sandra Ferguson<mailto:ferg@ntelos.net> To: pa-old-chester-l@rootsweb.com<mailto:pa-old-chester-l@rootsweb.com> Cc: cyndie eckman<mailto:cyndiee@tampabay.rr.com> Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 3:06 PM Subject: [PaOldC] 1729 East Town tax rate Anthony Wain ffrancis Wain

Hi Gwen - for some reason my mail adds a hypolink to the link I gave, and it appears in between the < > arrows, too. If you backspace back to and including the first <, and put that in your browser, then it will work. I have an option to remove a hypolink, which I always use when I send email, but it doesn't seem to do the trick with MSN mail. So whenever you see more inbetween the arrows < > just backspace it out and try again. If you go to the Chester Co genweb archive board and you can find them under 'land records'. The main deed is entitled - "Sheriff's Deed, Henry HAYES, Esq., to Frederick LANDUS; 1773" Diana PS If anyone has a suggestion how to show a link without the < > please let me know! ----- Original Message ----- From: Gwen Boyer Bjorkman<mailto:gwenbj@seanet.com> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 Subject: [PaOldC] John Boggs lived in Willistown adjoining the Wayne Estate Hi Diana: I could not open any of the deeds that you have posted on Rootsweb.
