Dear Matthew,
 Before I can answer I need to know how comparable?  PA or regional?
When in the nineteenth century?   Are you looking for construction,
placement, usage or economic status?  If you want material to compare
and contrast I know of several in the costal plain in DE and VA. 18th c.
and into 19th c.    Forgotten Arts: Book Two, by Richard Bacon has an
article digging a stone well.

I've recently finished the excavation of a drinking wate
Hello Folks,
 
I've recently finished the excavation of a drinking water well (first
being used in the mid nineteenth century) at a subsistence farm in
central Pennsylvania, and, wouldn't you know it, there is no information
available for comparison.  Is there a scrap of data available? Does
anyone know of any references?
 
Thank You,
 
Matthew
