Introduction

The following table was developed by Ben Porter for inclusion on the Old Chester Tapestry. The table identifies Porters in Old Chester County Tax Assessments west of the Brandywine, and east of the Octoraro Creek. Ben's original table include townships to the east of the Brandywine, as well, but page limitations have forced us to place that on a seaparate page.
