Chapter XIV- Town Layout

 Millville - The First 200 Years 

 Chapter XIV

Town Layout

 

(The maps that were included in the original may be reproduced later.)


    Through the years the community has changed ownership many times. Each generation has passed on the real estate as an inheritance to the next. Following this progressive division of the original tracts is difficult. Many of the first deeds were recorded at Sunbury or Philadelphia. Tracing them is difficult at the least and with the unusual recording procedures used, the effort to outline the succeeding ownership is nearly impossible.

    To provide a common language of territory, the maps and plot layouts that follow have been reproduced. Hopefully, future changes can be recorded by   some method that permits a tracing of the history for those who follow.
