I just received an estate file for a Rebecca WOODWARD who died c8/1849, in West Nantmeal, and her executor listed an expense for advertizing in the 'Register' in the final accounting submitted 3/20/1850. I wondered if anyone knows where I could find that paper and get a copy of the article. I presume they were having a public sale and were advertizing the date and time, etc....... or announcing that the estate was closing and any debts owed should be paid to the executor who was Jonathan MILLARD.

There is a person selling their collection of Chester County books and maps on Ebay, books on County History and I also saw some township books and maps. I was wondering if there were any of them that I could purchase and send to you so you could upload them. My requirement is that you would have to donate the book or books either to the Chester County Historical Society Library or if they already have a copy to another nearby historical society. You can find the collection by doing a search on "Chester County Atlas" or "West Chester County" Let me know what you think. Thanks, Frank --------------------------------- Now that's room service!

I paid the huge sum of $3!! It has every city and shows who owned what land. It's a rather wide book and not easy to fit into a scanner. However it does have all of the information that books on eBay have, but lot less money. The print is very small, but with a magnifying glass, you can readily see the names and what land they owned. A fabulous deal for $3.00. Lorraine Our long-term girlfriends form our safety net, the ones who know our histories, our secrets, our travails, and our successes.

Look for Death Records and under the letter "S". Students from West Chester University compiled all the deaths from three volumes (1893-1907) and arranged them in alpha order by last name. I often go to Phoenixville Historical Society and will look for an obit on my next trip. If I find one, I'll take a digital image and forward it to you.
