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/usgenweb/pa/chester/land/hayeslandus.txt> http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/chester/land/penningtonlandis.txt<http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/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
