This transcription was done by Jean Suplick Matuson of Plano, Texas in November 1998.
The source used were "diazo blue" maps obtained from the Pennsylvania Historical and
Museum Collection, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1991.
These maps document transfers of land from the possession of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania to individual citizens. Refer to our Land Records page for background
information on the process that was used.
Some transcription notes:
I changed the date format from "month day, year" to "day month year". Months were
given on the map in the modern 3-letter abbreviations except for June and July. I also
spelled out the following abbreviations:
As - acres
Ps - perches
War. - Warrant
Pat. - Patented
Sur. - Surveyed
Virga. - Virginia
Certifc. - Certificate
Finally, I alphabetized the plot owners by last name.
[The following is printed at the bottom of the map.]
