  		"History of the Chain of Title"--Tracing the Wollerton Family Lands in Chester County, Pennsylvania Estelle Cremers of Pottstown, PA brought together this impressive paper of the Historical Land Research of the Chain of Title for lands that the Wollerton family owned in Chester County. It traces the first known owners in the 1600's and goes through to 1920. She attempts to unravel all of the Williams, James, and Zibas in the Wollerton line. There are very few conflicting finds such as the guardianship of the children of James Wollerton who died in 1820. Court documents attached to this family on My Family Online state that Mary, Moses, John, Ziba, and Sarah were given guardianship by George Mechem? and Anthony Gray. She says that court documents appointed William Newlin, Charles Wollerton and Eli Shugart guardians in 1821. This researcher has not found these court records as of yet so will leave things as they are for now. Creamers, Estelle (1999); "History of the Chain of Title, Historical Land Research"
