Check out this site to read an article from today's Philadelphia Inquirer entitled "Ties to the land last generations." The story talks about Springdale farm still owned by a Mendenhall and gives a good bit of history of the region and old farms in the areas including the Martin farm in West Grove and the Handy farm in Coatesville. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/7788296.htm Mary Ann Villanova, Pa.
