This is a fabulous video!!! Kudos to the creators. All the amazing history has been so hidden and it is now able to be seen so all can see “the footsteps to Liberty”! Chester has such incredible history that deserves recognition. It’s not about 1776 - it’s about 1681-1682 when Pennsylvania was birthed.

This is a great video. Alex Johnston is my ancestor. Does anyone have any info on this man. This all happened around 1720

Thank you for showing this. I am a descendant of William Cloud and his son Jeremiah Cloud. This information allows me to research family further and get a better insight of my family's part in American history. My 5th Great grandfather Mordecai Cloud was a property owner somewhere in Chester county during the revolutionary war.

This is all interesting stuff. Great material. I'm watching this now after having gone to the 245th Brandywine Battle anniversary on Sandy Hollow Park yesterday. I hope more of the open land is preserved.

Hi John! This was soooo very helpful...thanks for doing this video. Now I have a question. Could you recommend a program for Mac where I can plot these old deeds that accepts the old measurements that these deeds use? I would love to be able to do that. I did a little sleuthing and found some that would cost a chunk of change that I really don't want to pay.

Hi Paula, we're happy to hear that you found some value in the video! We use DeedMapper in house, which is only compatible with Windows, and unfortunately we're not familiar with something similar for Mac (we need more programmers interested in historical property research!!). There is a free online version, however, called Tract Plotter (www.tractplotter.com/). For this you would use "R" OR "P" for the rods/poles/perches measurements. Unfortunately, Tract Plotter does not allow you to overlay the shape on a map, but at least you can see the shapes and compare it to a later map like the 1883 Breuos Farm Atlas. Hope that makes sense, and feel free to email use with any additional questions ([email protected]).

12:09 pretty cool to see the outline of the county map prior to the incorporation of Delaware County.

Thank you so much for this! Very informative. My first home (and home of my ancestors) was the tavern at Edenton, on 896 and Street Roads. I'd love to hear more about the history of it, as well. We have a copy of a page of the Eden Star that was published there, in 1814. This location, too, must've been a hive of activity during its time.

I think i know where the Graves home was. At our home on Birmingham rd the foundation did't "fit" the house.My father said there was another house there before this one.This was later backed up by a contactor.

Loved this! More videos of Chester County history, please! I would love one of East and West Marlborough Twp and Lower and Upper Oxford Twps. My family roots are there for centuries.
