Hey Stef,
I did research on this a couple of years ago, I live in Downingtown and drove around Coatesville trying to match old maps which was very difficult because major highway (Rte 30) has been moved. I think or at least needs looked at. I read that he had a hide out on Hands Pass where it was high so he could see if anyone was coming. I found a collection of boulders on the highest point around. I couldn't do anything as a housing community was being built. I should check it out now as a few years passed.
