Carl.. I suspect that what you are calling "Ruscoman" Township may be RUSCOMBMANOR Township. I can certainly understand why someone would try to abbreviate that! <<grin>> According to "Pennsylvania Line", Ruscombmanor Township is a part of Berks County located to the northeast of the City of Reading. Look on your map for the town of Pricetown. It's one of the towns located within Ruscombmanor Township.
