from THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA, by Futhey and Cope (1881);
 
Chester was probably the first named of the twps in the county, and the town of 
the same name remained the county-seat for more than 100 years thereafter.  It 
is now a part of Delaware County.  From the spread of families backward from the 
first settlements, the lists of taxables in the old townships will be of 
interest to our present citizens.
