THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and Cope is available, I believe, from the Chester county Historical Soc......they are on line and have a list of books available. The price, I believe, was $102.00. I have looked, however, and the only mention of john Poston, was on a tax list for West Fallowfield.....nothing more. The following, I would think, might be his will...or his fathers; PA wills 1682-1834 POSTON, JOHN. Fallowfield. December 8, 1745. June 8, 1747. B. 222. To eldest son Robert the settlement he now lives on. To son John my real estate he paying to son Anthony £30. To daughter Ann "I give according to her behavior" 5 shillings. Provides for wife Martha. Executors: wife and son John. Witnesses: John Devor, Martha Dun. Nowadays, not living in a certain area, or being unable to do actual local research, isn't the stumbling block it use to be. There are many wonderful resources such as The History Of Chester co...and lots of CDs available from Family Tree Maker. The list of books available from the CCHS contains other good ones. Higginson Books, too, has a large selection available......so, look around...check out various book sellers on line....there's a lot available for those of us not lucky enough to live near Chester County.
