Warrants and surveys of the province of Pennsylvania including the three lower counties, 1759/ compiled by Allen Winberg and Thomas E. Slattery under the directory of Charles E. Hughes, Jr.

หมายเหตุ

The Provincial Assembly representing the people of Pennsylvania were in conflict with the sons of William Penn who were the Proprietaries of the Province of Pennsylvania. Records of Warrants under the control of the Proprietaries and which ordered surveys to be made were not public records. This created confusion over property rights and boundaries. In 1759 the Assembly passed a law for recording warrants and surveys. The Proprietaries in 1760 brought the law before the King who vetoed it. In the meantime, the warrants were transcribed and made public. This is an index of names recorded in the warrants in the present-day Pennsylvania counties of Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Lancaster, Northampton, Philadelphia, and York; and the three counties Kent, Newcastle, and Sussex making up Delaware.
