Radnor was in Chester Co, and taxed in 1715, Chester, which is the last tax list for Chester I have (there might be later ones, but I don't have them.) . I checked the 1715, but there is n one named Moore on the assessment list. Radnor is now in Delaware Co....I can't remember the exact date, but a few googles will turn up the info. Merion twp is in Montgomery Co, formed from Phil Co, if memory serves, and has never been part of Chester..... but it is contiguous with Philadelphia Co..... you'll find better luck posting your queries to the Del. and Mont. Co lists, I think.. S. > I am reading about my Moore family this morning, and as part of my studies > I am trying to look at old saved e-mails, maps, websites.
