Thank you, it was 1851. I know now it wasn't in Lancaster County. Thank you For your help In a message dated 5/4/2008 8:31:42 A.M.

Currently there is no Bechtelsville or Bechtelstown in PA other than Bechtelsville, Berks County, PA. Part of Berks was taken from Lancaster County, but not the area this Bechtelsville is located in. The Bechtelsville in Berks was founded long after the county was erected in 1752.

Joan, If you think it might be Bechtelsville, Berks County, I might be able to help. Who are you looking for? Betty At 09:18 AM 5/4/2008, you wrote: >Thank you, it was 1851. I know now it wasn't in Lancaster County. Thank >you For your help >
