[Plot of Kerchner Land & Neighbors]

The above is a Google Earth Plot Showing Adjacent Landowners c1750-1760
This is a plot I did on 30 July 2017 of Adam Kerchner tract of land onto a modern map.
With this satellite view map one can see that this area is and was a mountainous and wooded area in Upper Milford Township, Lehigh County, PA.
On this plot I annotated the family names of adjacent historic early landowners c1750-1760 which
abutted Adam Kerchner's land in the 1750-1770s time frame. When you look at those adjoining property
family names you can easily see and understand where and how Adam's children and grandchildren met
their future spouses. The relative location of the land of abutting land owners family names such as
Fetterman, Truckenmiller, Schoub/Schaub/Schoup, and Christman (into which the Kerchner family
intermarried) are shown along with some other early landowners adjacent to the Kerchner land.
