I am researching King's Mill and the adjacent properties.<br />Let me know if you would like to see the house your ancestor purchased from Solomon Miller in 1792. I live in the house on the north side of the Codorus, one of the "tenements" that went with the Grist Mill. This is where he and Philip Jacob King and his family lived before the "King's Mansion" was built on the property south of Codorus Creek.

I, too, have York County roots, and recently did a transcription of a York County Will written in 1797, proved in 1799, just before Adams County was created.

As in "free passage."<br /><br />On page 137's 6th line, after "linen, yarn" is "hemp" before "flax". You probably know that hemp was widely cultivated for its fiber, particularly for weaving material for such non-refined items as sacks and ticking.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
