Category:People from colonial Pennsylvania

This category includes who did defining things while thry were residents of the Province of Pennsylvania prior about July 1776. Those for whom only their life after about that date is defining, or those who only lived in Pennsylvania after that date should go in other categories. The Category should be limited to the de facto limits of Pennsylvania. So it should not include those who lived effectively in de facto independent Native American polities, those who were subjects of the areas of New France in the area also then claimed by Pennsylvania, or people who de facto recognized themselves as subjects of the Province of Connecticut or Province of Virginia on land disputed with Pennsylvania.
