Do you know of Wildbrier ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Wildbrier. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Wildbrier.<1>

Our sources for Wildbrier (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Wildbrier other than they indicate that Wildbrier would be found somewhere in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1869 and closed  in 1894.
