As you probably know, vital records such as births, deaths and marriages were not recorded at the county level until much later than the time frame you're interested in. Your only hope would be in church records. There are MANY very early extant records, starting with the late 1600s, when the Quakers arrived, so I don't know where you've looked, but there are many in existence. It helps, of course, to know the denomination they belonged to. I would suggest you visit the Chester Co rootsweb site and look through the lookup list. I can tell you already that I've looked in THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PA, by Futhey and Cope...sent you what was there in the last email....and, nothing in Early Court Records beyond what I included last time. You might also visit RECORDS and ARCHIVES for Chester Co, to get a better idea of what sort of records they have available.
