Thank you Mary Jane--I live between Rt. 452 & Concord Rd. in Aston Twp., Delaware Co., PA. My in-laws own land that runs from Foulk Rd. in Bethel Twp., to Concord Rd. in Concord Twp., Delaware Co., PA. When you are on Concord Rd. driving towards Baltimore Pike (Rt.1) if you make a left at the end of Concord Rd. onto Rt. 1, you are going towards Rt. 202, when you reach Rt. 202 (at the light), if you make a right you are on Rt. 202 going towards West Chester, Chester Co., PA. If you stay on Rt.1 you are going towards Longwood Gardens, Chester Co., PA. (A very beautiful place to visit!). The Mendenhall Inn is not to far away--very beautiful at Christmas time & fabulous food all year round! :) To those who are related to the NEWLINs, you may want to visit the Concord Museum--many of Beulah (Newlin) PENNINGTON's things are there! (You can get a copy of the genealogy pages from her NEWLIN BIBLE!) Call Ginny DeNENNO for an appointment at (610) 459-3518, (she is the person who started the museum) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Beulah, Thomas, John H., Thomas, Nathaniel III, Nathaniel, Jr., Nathaniel, Sr. NEWLIN Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 8/18/0 7:04:56 AM, REDSKI9136 writes: << Hi Helen You are right, about Concord Rd.

Sandy - it might do you well to visit our Web Site and look at the historic maps of Chester County - from 1683 to the present http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/4038/Chester.html Newlin Township, which is the property originally owned by the Newlins, is sort of up in the center of Chester County, and was also in 1715, so I wonder if there wasn't an older Newlin Mill than the one mentioned in Concord Township below. You'll probably find some of your family names on the 1683 Survey - I'm not sure how well one could coordinate that with a modern map to see where to look - you might just want overview photos of the land your ancestors originally owned. I took some of those in Scotland and they are among my most precious as I can look at them and imagine the olden days.

Jane, Thank you for correcting my error. This makes more sense now. Was the Thomas Chalfant b. 1758, the son of Thomas Chalfant and Margaret Green? I have for children of Thomas Chalfant 1758 and Mary Gray: Connie, Nathaniel, Abner, John, Robert, and Maria. Is this correct? Barclay
