UNITED STATES

That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternately red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.

PENNSYLVANIA

Pennsylvania, starting as a feudal proprietary province, under the treble control of deputy-governors, proprietor, and king, gradually worked out for herself a body of constitutional liberty, which, at the time of the Revolution, gave her such a satisfactory form of government that it was a great obstacle in the way of the movement for independence.

BUCKS COUNTY

In March, 1683, William Penn's Council ordered "that the seal of the County of Bucks Pennsylvania be a tree and a vine." The Shield came from the family crest. http://www.buckscounty.org/about/index.aspx

~ A website http://www.sharedancestors.com has copied information from this site and converted to PDF. The site requires you to signup to their site with an email address in order to access information that is provided here for everyone (including those who would take it). This is very disappointing to see, to say the least. I have asked them to remove the pages that are direct copies including personal photos.

December 29, 2011 - once again asked them to remove pages that were lifted directly from this website that are my personal family history.
