The early Scotch -Irish settlements in Pennsylvania were made between 1710 and 1740, starting in Chester Co., PA. Brandywine Creek (River) ran through portions of early Chester Co., PA, south of Philadelphia, with the southern part of the creek entering New Castle Co., Maryland as it empties into the Delaware River. Many of these early settlers probably disembarked at Newcastle rather than Philadelphia and continued westward. As early as 1740, just northeast of Brandywine Creek and adjacent New Castle Co., MD was Chichester Township, Chester Co., PA, which appears to have been taken into Delaware Co., PA as lower and upper Chichester Townships. The Lower Brandywine Presbyterian meeting house was established in 1720, just north of the Delaware River. The Forks of the Brandywine Presbyterian meeting house was established in 1740, as part of the Donegal Presbytery. Lee Ramsey
