The Pennsylvania Colony (Province of Pennsylvania),was founded in English North |
|
|
America by William Penn on March 4, 168, by royal charter granted by King Charles II. |
|
|
The name Pennsylvania, roughly translated as "Penn's Woods", was created from the |
|
|
Penn surname (in honor of William's father, Admiral Sir William Penn) and the Latin |
|
|
word ‘sylvania’, meaning "forest land". The Penn family held the proprietary charter |
|
|
until the American Revolution, when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was created, |
|
|
one of the original thirteen states. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Pennsylvania |

Cumberland County, created 27 Jan. 1750, from Lancaster and Non-County, including |
|
|
southwestern Penn. [1] (p.87) . . . . often referred to as "Mother Cumberland" because |

of the twenty counties that were later created from it [Franklin, Bedford, Somerset, |
|
|
Greene, Washington, Westmoreland, Cambria, Blair, Mifflin, Juniata, Perry and Centre, |
|
|
as well as parts of Beaver, Allegheny, Armstrong, Indiana, Clearfield, Clinton, Union and |
