I have several references from church records of the mid-to-late 1700`s to an area known as Pikesland. Can anyone tell me where it is or was? Many thanks. Bob

Robert --- If you follow State Route 113 out of Phoenixville toward Chester Springs on the map, East Pikeland runs from the Phoenixville line to just beyond Kimberton. West Pikeland runs from there to Chester Springs. Originally they were one township called Pikeland which was named for the man who originally settled the area. The major church(s) that I know of there are St. Peter's Lutheran Church (dating to the 1770s) and St. Peter's UCC (originally St. Peter's Reformed Church dating from around 1800). They are located on the East Pikeland/West Pikeland line just beyond Kimberton. This is the area from which my great grandparents originated and I have done considerable research on the area. Let me know if you have any questions.
