Peter Suplee, Jr.

Fifteen days after the death of his father in the Revolutionary War Peter was left with his grandmother Magdaline, at the old homestead place in Worcester, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. After his marriage he purchased and settled upon a tract of three hundred acres of land in Charlestown (now Schuylkill) Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This tract adjoined the Moore Hall Tract on the North, and the James Andersn tract on the south. There they erected buildings and mde their home. This property is historic ground. A tribe of Delaware Indians once had a village and also a graveyard on this property. The first white settlers in this neighborhood, James Anderson and wife, their first winter there, lived in a cabe near the Indian Village. Until quite recently the mounds in the Indian Graveyard were visible. Many relics, such as stone axes, arrow heads, etc., were found upon this property when ploughing the ground. At the time Peter and his wife Hannah settled here, everything was quite primitive, their farming implements and means fo conveyance were crude. No Dearborns or carriages existed among the farmers then. They attended Phildelphia market on horseback, using saddle bags to carry their farm and dairy products to market.
