Ok, thanks!

I don't have my map of Berks County so I haven't checked exactly where Amity Twp. sits. If you have a good source that says it was in Philadelphia County, I'd go with that.

Here is what I found: "Pennsylvania, Berks, Amity Township; Settled about 1693; incorporated while part of Philadelphia County about 1719, but no record of court proceedings. Petition was renewed 3 March 1744. Became part of Berks County in 1752." Here is my question: James Mitchell was born in Amity in 1738. Does this indicate that he was actually born in Philadelphia County and not Lancaster County?
