I found your site by mere accident while looking for the Leicester Postmaster's phone number. Odd that Mr. Chapman was a postmaster.
My great, great, great grandfather founded Gaffney, SC in much the same way as Mr. Chapman (although the land was a grant). That seems to be the history of most small townsâ??a store, a post office then, the naming and incorporation.
I'm proud to have lived in Leicester for thirty-five years (give or take a few years for youthful adventures out into the world at large).
Thanks for the site. I will visit to see how it developes. Keep up the fine work.
Regards,
Michael Gaffney, Brookshire Road
