By: J. Smith Futhey & Gilbert Cope, Orig. Pub. 1881, 1196 pages, New Index, ISBN #0-89308-978-8. Chester County was one the first three counties in Pennsylvania and was created in 1682. It sits in the southeastern corner of the state boarding Maryland. This book is not too different from other county history books of this era. With such topics as trade & transportation, labor, farming, towns & burrows, Boundary Lines, politics, Proprietary Interests & Land Titles, and religion - all important in the development of the county - are carefully discussed. This type of county history book can help one develop ideas or paths to those missing ancestors by showing the customs and traditions of the local residents. A particular useful feature of this book is the extensive biographical information included (approx. half of the book). This volume contains more than 350 biographical sketches, included in which are some 10,000 additional family members. The New Index for this edition has approximately 32,000 entries.

It in turn was divided to create Old Rappahannock and Middlesex Counties. Many of these Lancaster families moved to the Northern Neck or other parts of Virginia. Until now, this book has been very difficult to use for the researcher due to its lack of an index. We have made a NEW INDEX, that contains the names of approx. 6,000 individuals, specially for this reprint. This book should help those who had relatives living in the Eastern portion of the State with emphasis around the Chesapeake Bay area.
