Subject: Pa Local Histories

I just added the first of the PA local histories to the town history
section of my web site. It will ba a long time, if ever that I have
hundreds of them like for NY and Maine but this is a good start. If you
have not visited my web site before you will find over 2,500 pages of
all types, mostely for New England, but I have expanded it into New
York, New Jersey and now Pennsylvania. I hope to be adding other things
for PA later, but that will take a while.

Today I added the following histories
Crawford County - The Townships of Athens, Beaver and Union.

Erie County - All townships and Boroughs as well as the City of Corry.
Thise are smaller than the others but do have some good informatin about
the early settlers.

Delaware County - The Townships of Aston, Bethel, Birmingham, Chester,
Concord, Darby, Haverford and Tinicum and the Boroughs of Darby and
Media. These are smaller than the ones for Crawford County, but hold a
lot of good information.

Things that you may find in these files:
Nathan Sedgwick opened the first tavern in Athens.
Isaac a Cummings first settler in Athens.
The first saw mill in Beaver was built by William Olymate.
W. H. L. Smith was the first mayor of Corry (others listed).
Albion was first settled by Thomas Alexander.
The first male child born in Conneaut was Henry Wood.
William Brinton was the first settler of Birmingham.
And much more about all the areas that were added.
