To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is true, there may have been something resembling a boom between 1742 and 1754, but after weighing all the evidence I do not think the population in the latter year exceeded 1, 800, and most probably did not reach that number. It deserves to be noted that the character of the buildings at this period, and for a long time after, even down to 1800, was not of a high order. The houses were mostly built of wood, generally of logs and weather-board- ed. A few were of stone. A man of eighty, writi...ng in 1838, says that about the time of the Revolution or earlier one-story stone houses occupied the four corners of our Centre Square. 17 The next estimate of Lancaster's population is by the Rev. Thomas Barton, pastor of the Episcopal Church, ~n 1764, just ten years after Governor Pownall's estimate, he states tkat the place had 600 houses, an increase of 100 in ten years. He does not hazard a guess at the number of inhabitants, but, allowing four to a house, as in the previous estimates, we get a population of 2, 400.
