Curious what the Chester County connection is?

West Philly and Lower MontCo have a million things named after Wynne. In fact I live a few blocks from his colonial home.

You should check some Philadelphia archives

That’s wild. My mom grew up in Ohio and my dad in New York. I happened to end up in Chester county. What are the chances that I had roots here? Wild

Thanks! I’m going to dig around more. Seems almost too unbelievable. I’ve requested some genealogical research with some historical societies.
