1777 and 1778 were very significant years in the history of Tredyffrin. In September 1777 the British Army encamped in Tredyffrin for 3 days on its way to Philadelphia and looted many of the properties. Between December 1777 and June 1778 the American Army wintered at Valley Forge and a number of the houses in Tredyffrin were requisitioned as quarters for generals.
In 1782 a list of reparation claims was created detailing losses from the British Army's depredations. A number of Quakers and Mennonites refused to make claims. The Chester County Archives provide an Introduction to the Claims records. To see which properties have related reparation claims click the following button
