I've been reading the discussions tonight about "Blue Pig" and "Fremont" Pennsylvania. I've check my 1797 and 1853 Gazetteer and neither appear. Now what I've about to write is a wild, crazy hunch . . . and I have no idea where it came from. Just a thought . . . Could "Blue Pig" be the name of an old tavern or inn at some tiny little town or crossroads on a well-traveled road? Blue Pig sounds more like a name plate you'd see hanging on a tavern or inn and could very easily have been used to refer to a long-gone crossroads or village. The original post gave no time period, just his ggg-grandmother so I've no idea on that other than my 3rd gr-grandparents were born in the 1780's. If that's true, the tavern or inn could be a possibility. Remember . . . this is just a wild idea! Were/Are there any books on old taverns or inns in Chester County?
