I know most of you have this but for a few reasons I am posting it again. Got your Lincoln your Vance and Jonathan Wynne _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pacheste/chester_twplist_nantmeal.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pacheste/chester_twplist_nantmeal.htm) The first assessment of this district is of the inhabitants "Near ye Branches of the french Creek & the Branches of Brandywine," 1720. The names and valuation of the estates were as follows: (Value=pounds) Owen Roberts, 50 William Hiddins, 5 Richard, Jeremiah & John Peircell, 20 David Roberts, 5 William Phillips, 14 John Williams, 6 William David, 6 John James, 2 Philip Roger, 5 Saml. Nutt, 20 Mordicay Lincoln, 12 Lewis David, 5 Simon Meridith, 12. Non-resident Lands.-- James Logan, 1000 acres Henry Hockle, 200 Jonathan Gwyne (Wynne), 1000 Thomas Calway (Callowhill), 500. February, 1739-40, another division was proposed, which would leave Logan's meadow or swamp in the upper part, and Ann Roberts' swamp in the other, after which the line was to pass to the head of Wynn's meadow, and follow the main branch of that water to the line of Uwchlan township. In September, 1739, the citizens of the two ends chose persons to divide the township, being Thomas Miradah (Meredith?) and Matthew Robertson, of the east side, Arthur Graham and John Piersol, of the west. They could not agree, and called in John Gobeen as umpire. The line agreed upon then was from the county line at the spring near Edward George's house, thence to Brandywine, and so to Caln township. In 1740 the taxables were 83 in East and 123 in West Nantmeal. The first settlers were mostly Welsh, and principally confined to the eastern part of the township. The Scotch-Irish came up from the south-western part of the county from 1730 to 1740, and peopled the western part. LAND-OWNERS, 1774.
