Meanings of counties of pennsylvania in English

In 1782 the western counties of Pennsylvania and Virginia threatened to break off and form a new State.

P. S.-Couldyou or Mr. Vaux furnish me with an assessment of lands in the different counties of Pennsylvania?

The opposition to the laws, which had so long been made in the western counties of Pennsylvania, existed no longer.

The result was general acquiescence throughout most of the States, and renewed opposition in the western counties of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

They also made similar excursions into the contiguous counties of Pennsylvania, lying east of the Alleghany mountains, where numbers were ready to join them.
