SHELTON : MILESTONES. 95 



or less of this Pike is the route of the old road to Goshen and 

 Strasburg, laid out in 1770, suggests that the stones may be 

 of two periods? The older ones, on Hill's map, may be those 

 of the time of laying out, in 1770, while the newer appearing 

 ones may be these installed by the Pike Company fwhich did 

 not operate or extend beyond Newtown Square, while the 

 stones do) in replacing, evening up or equiping, in 1848. 



Chester Pike. Page 68. The stone at Third and 

 Howell is legible and reads " i6 M. to P."

 Philadelphia via that old road, and bound for the Goshen

 ford Meeting House (one of the oldest), and on via the old 

 Coopertown Road, towards Radnor, or towards old Newtown 

 Square, on the then old Goshen road, would find this No. 10 

 milestone, correctly reading after leaving the No. 9 Haverford 

 road stone, by a mile. Being of the same pattern exactly as 

 the " Penn Arm" stones of the latter road, it seems likely 

 that this No. 10 Coopertown road stone might have been 

 placed at the same time as the No. 10 — and the other Haver- 

 ford stones — each being a mile from the fork of the road at 

 the ninth stone.
