    1. Toll collection in Royersford
    2. Hello All, I am researching the Gracey surname. I have been given two separate pieces of information about my 3rd great grandfather James Gracey (Sr) born Philadelphia in 1805. He lived in Philadelphia, Limerick,Montgomery County and Spring City, Chester County through the years. His obituary mentioned the fact that he "Was toll gatherer at the Royersford bridge for about twelve years; also carried on the tailoring business at the same time." I was just sent a map of Spring City in 1870 and in one area under a listing of individuals in "Royer's Ford" in the listing James Gracey, Tailor and Toll Collector "since 1850." Does anyone have any information about this bridge and toll? Thanks Kassie
