Hello All I have begun reading the book "Pennsylvania Colony and Commonwealth" and I am also scanning it and adding it to my web site for anyone else who may have an interest in it. I also have added a map from the same book which is listed as showing the forts of PA, but also shows the early ethnic distribution of the Germans, Quakers and Scotch-Irish. They are both on my site at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com Alan RESEARCHING: Buckingham, Gilpin, Eastburn, Jeanes, Nowland, Wade, Creswell, Vansant and related families -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Dear Alan, I just read your beginning posting of "Pennsylvania Colony and Commonwealth" and found it most helpful. Since I have many ancestors who lived in or were connected with Solebury Township, I'm also hoping that you will add to that listing sometime in the future. The broader history of the entire colony and the histories of individual families such as those in Solebury and Falls complement one another. Thank you for making this wider understanding possible. I also just read the "Chambersburg" sketch, which related to my Scots-Irish ancestors and their migrations from Pennsylvania to Ohio or Kentucky and on to Iowa. The Quaker and Scots-Irish families I am interested in include Townsend, Gilbert, Holliday, Cochran and allied families such as Hartley, Dungan, Patton and Boothe. Again, thank you for making history come alive, Lucille Woolis Andersen Alan Buckingham wrote: >Hello All > >I have begun reading the book "Pennsylvania Colony and Commonwealth" and I >am also scanning it and adding it to my web site for anyone else who may >have an interest in it.
