General Notes: Husband - William Old


Mr. William Branson, of Philadelphia, took out a patent Dec. 28, 1742, on four hundred acres of land in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and erected on it the lower Windsor Forge, and soon after it the mansion-house, after the English style of building, and named the place Windsor, after the King of England's palace.
Among the employes at Windsor while it was carried on by the English company were two brothers, James and William Old, who carried on one of the fires. It is supposed they came from Wales.
