ITEM #62156
July 9, 1778
The Pennsylvania Packet

Lower Merion, June 28, 1778.
STOLEN last night from the Plantation of Philip Syng, near the ten miles
stone, on the Lancaster road, a dark bay HORSE, better than 15 hands high,
without brand or ear mark, has lost one of his fore shoes, about six years
old, paces when rode, but trots in a carriage. Whoever secures said Horse
and the thief, shall have ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS reward, or SIXTY for the
Horse, and reasonable charges on delivery, paid by THOMAS POTTS, of
Pottsgrove, DAVID POTTS, of Philadelphia, or PHILIP SYNG, at the Plantation
above mentioned.

From the above two entries, it appears that Syng sold his place in Phila and
moved out of town. Maybe Eliz. is buried near the above mentioned
plantation, especially if she died before he did. If he died later, he
might have again moved or been buried in Phila to be with his
family......possibilities to consider.
Will look more later on today.
