Please standardize the following:
Peckville, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, United States.
Lackawanna County (present day location) was formed 13 August 1878. Thus, my ancestor was not born in a non-existent county.
Thank you.

There were a couple of conflicting places for Peckville. I merged those into the last one, added the borough/township as appropriate, and created historic places:
