I simply wish to express my gratitude to all those who responded to my request for help in locating information about Jacob Cupp and which counties he might possible have been born in. I was informed incorrect or miss interpreted that Lancaster was once about half of PA. As a relatively new research I have learned to ask questions even if it may sound dumb to others, for when I have asked those question that is when I have found out the most. I did not know when the first census was recorded but knew if I asked I would find out. I thank all for sharing and trying to shed some light on my surname and for your willingness to share and help others. Patricia
