Class actions are lawsuits brought by a representative member(s) of a large group of persons on behalf of all the members of the group who have suffered identical or similar harm for which the same defendant may be liable -- such as a defective product class action against a manufacturer or an employment discrimination class action against a large company.
In December 1776, Joseph Warford was deeded 100 acres (0.40 km) of land on which he laid out a village that was to become known as Warfordsburg. A large stone structure that served as the Warford home and tavern was built, though the building was destroyed by fire in 1947. Warfordsburg lies just north of the Mason-Dixon line in Union and Brush Creek Township in southern Fulton County, Pennsylvania, off Interstate 70 and readily accessible to U.S. Route 40, the historic National Road.
