I'm very curious about the old I path that Fleecydale Road used to take out of Carversville. The current road was not laid out until 1844 ... I wonder if there are any older maps out there that show the first road.
Have a look at the 1831 Bucks County map that showed the route of the Lehigh and Delaware canal. You can find it at the Library of Congress site here: http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl
And, if you see Gwen Davis at the STHS, be so kind as to tell her that Suzanne says hello.
You're very welcome, Rayna. I've put your blog in my reader so that I won't miss any entries. It's nice to have a link to home - husband and I have been away in Maine, and now Vermont, for the last ten years. We miss home and hope to get back some day.

Wow, thank you! I'll tell Gwen you said hello, too.
