Very interesting story. I have lived in Chester County all my life and have never heard anything about this story. It just goes to prove that Chester County still has a wealth of history that is left behind which eventually comes out and creates a continuous mystery. Even more interesting to me is that my GG grandfather was an Irish immigrant sometime in the 1840's or 1850's and he worked for the railroad in Philadelphia. In my case, I know where he is buried. His only son-in-law also worked for the railroad. Sharon

Looking for researchers of the name Wilson who may have had Virginia connections. Time period would be prior to and around 1774. I have a Jacob Wilson b. 1774 in Chester Co. PA that went to Virginia. He married Margaret King of Union Co. Va. They ended up in White Co. IL. Children were: John M. Wilson; James L. Wilson; Oliver H.P. Wilson; R. Adaline Wilson; Mary Wilson and Jane Wilson.
