I've gotten several answers on where is Freemont - and I don't know if any of them posted to the list. Fremont/ Freemont is in southwestern Chester County, now watch me remember what township long enought to find it on the map! West Nottingham, I think. GNIS server still thinks 400 people live there, if it no longer exists! It wouldn't be another name for West Nottingham township, would it?
