Excerpt from A Concise Account of Pennsbury in Buck County, Pennsylvania That portion of the domain lying between Governor's Creek and Welcome Creek, con taining the site of the original mansion and its surrounding improvements, has been repre sented, and with a degree of plausability, as a noble island. An ancient Indian royalty, with affluents from the river bending several times around it, chosen by chieftains nurtured in' aboriginal warfare, as a position possessing many advantages for defence against their en emies, and while in their possession bearing the name of Sepassin. There is a portion of Penn's Manor formerly occupied by beds of creeks and affiuents from and to the river, which is now cultivated land, and this circum stance may in a degree account for the changed appearance of the surface and surroundings. Pennsbury is not now upon an island. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
