Chester County Images


Samuel Knox and Amanda Wylie Gill Knox
contributed by Michael McGarity

This page is an experiment; I'd like to include historic photos, family photos, etc. here that pertain to
Chester County's history. The only catch is that the photos must be scanned, jpg images with maximum compression.
If the photos are of people, please indentify them. If they are of places or things, tell us what you know.
