Introduction: "All land reference in Vincent and Pikeland Townships goes back to three owners, Dr. Daniel Coxe, Sir Mathias Vincent, and Major. Robert Thompson. Yet little has been written about these men nor of the singular events that occurred in both townships to obscure their true beginnings. Although they were divided into four municipalities, they began as one tri-partite adventure in land speculation, in scope far in advance of other Northern Chester County municipalities.
