Research tip. When Pennsylvania was first established, there were three counties, Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester. From these three counties gradually evolved the present day sixty-seven counties comprising the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There were also the three so-called lower counties: New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, which became the State of Delaware. If you go to www.libertynet.org/gspa/research.html it while tell you how each county by date evolved from one county to another by date. It can save you a good deal of aggravation from looking the wrong place.

Thank you for the info, I'll be checking out that site.
