    Background;
    The history of West Chester is intimately connected to its role as a transportation hub. West Chester is situated on high ground between the Brandywine and Chester Creek watersheds, at a point that attracted travellers since the earliest days of
    recorded history, The Great Minquas Trail of the Lenni Lenape passed through the area in the 17th century, connecting settlements and trading posts in the lower Schuylkill Valley with fur-producing regions to the west.
    The first roads in the area were laid out in the early eighteenth century. Although neither the "Old Lancaster Road" (US30) not the "Old Baltimore Pike"(US1) passed through West Chester, William Penn's "Street Road"(PA926) passed a short distance to the south, and the "Strasburg Road" passed along what later became the north edge of the borough. A road from Wilmington to Reading (PA100) passed directly through the centre of the future borough, and another early road(PA100) ran southwest from the site to Jefferis' Ford on the Brandywine, near modern Lenape Park.
    In 1762, a local cooper named Phineas Eachus applied to the Pennsylvania Legilsature for permission to open a "public house" for travellers on the Wilmington-to-Reading Road, at the intersection (presently Gay and High Streets) with the road from Jefferis' Ford to Philadelphia. Permission was granted, and Eachus' house became the "Turks Head Tavern", named for the sign used to mark its location. That Tavern, and its surrounding community, became the nucleus for the borough of West Chester, which was incorperated on March 20, 1799.

    Notes:

    The descendants from Rufus and Mary changed the spelling of their name to Eaches.
    Rufus is mentioned in a newspaper article, stating that he was a) an 1812 War Veteran, and b) is buried in Patriot Cemetery in Gallia County.
    Public Ledger 30th June 1838: Counterfeit Notes: Three Men, named Rufus Eaches, David Wilson & John Neblin, were arrested in Baltimore about to months ago, supposed to be counterfeiters, Eaches was admitted to bail, Nebling was discharged and Wilson remained in Jail. Nebling after his release called at a public house where Wilson had left a pair of Saddle Bags, and demanded them. The Occupant of the house ascertained that this person had just come from prison, had the saddlebags and Nebling brought before the city court on Wednesday last, On Being examined a large amount of counterfit notes and shinplasters (1) were found. Neblings saddlebags were also brought before the court contain a quantity of the same kind of money. He was sent back to prison, The whole amount thus captured is between two & three thousand dollars. The Article does not mention Rufus again, but it is thought he fled bail and arrived in Gallia County, Ohio, where he lived the rest of his life.
    (1) Shinplaster was a common name for paper money of low denominations circulating widely in the frontier economies of the 19th century. The Oxford English Dictionery give the words origins from the quality of the paper, which was so cheap that with a bit of starch it could be used to make paper-m?ach?e-like plasters to go under socks and warm shins.

    Rufus married Mary Crunkleton on 26 Dec 1815 in Washington County, USA. Mary was born in 1796 in Franklin, Gailla County, Ohio; died in 1838 in Perry Township, Gallia, Ohio, North America; was buried in 1838 in Patriot Cemetery, Perry Township, Gallia, Ohio, North America.
