Scottie, Montgomery County Pa was created from land that belonged to Philadelphia County Pa., on 10 September 1784. It is Northwest of Philadelphia, in the Lehigh Valley area. Philadelphia County is one of the 3 original counties created by William Penn, along with Chester and Bucks Co. in November 1682.

Was searching the tax lists from the 1700s...looking for my George Lute... There is a book on Google, titled "Proprietory Tax Lists County Chester 1765-1769, 1771" It took a while but, I found him George Lute 100 acres 2 horses 2 cattle 2 sheep. A question for you, was Montgomery County once part of Chester Co at that time period?? As I found basically the same info in that county. There is no index that I am aware of but saw many names that we have talked about at one time or the other on that list.. such as Sharpless.
