Geographic anchor
The revised genealogy places the immigrant-line household on both sides of a branch of Octoraro Creek in Fallowfield Township. That geographic detail is one of the clearest anchors for the family’s Pennsylvania phase.
Why it matters to South Carolina history
Octoraro Creek is not part of the Pee Dee landscape, but it marks the documented starting point from which the South Carolina branch is traced before the family moved south.
Research use
The place is useful for separating the Pennsylvania Poston line discussed in the books from similarly named families in other colonies and states.
