       Dale and Neola Miles found in the tax records of West Chester Co.
Pa. Jacob was a tax collector. We also found that the older children
of Jacob
were married by l793. John to Catherine, Elizabeth to John Miller and
Catherine to Jonathan Kearn. We found that Dorthy was helped by a
Robert
Patton in 1793 and there is a posibility that Dorthy married this
man and
moved away. Floren told us that there was a man who acted as an
agent for the
owner and sold a large plot of land but never gave the money to the
owner so
in 1793 the owner forclosed on all of the people including Dorthy
Ginther.
