Guide to Records of the Sale of Commonwealth Property in the County of Philadelphia, 1780-1798
Abstracts the names of those whose wartime purchase of previously unsold Phila. County land helped fund the PA troops in the Amer. Revolutionary army. The individ. who paid their private fortunes into the provisional commonwealth gov¿t. were taking financial risk & demonstrating real courage in their patriotism, for the land they were purchasing had been confiscated in 1779 from the Penn family proprietors of PA, who objected & asserted their continuing property rights. If the British had defeated the Amer. revolutionaries, the restored proprietary courts would have ruled the sales null & void & perhaps declared them an act of treason. The land would have reverted to the Penn family & the Amer. purchase money lost. Includes street locations .
The Mecklenburg Signers and Their Neighbors
Probably the finest genealogical record ever compiled on the people of ancient Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, this work consists of extensive source records and documented family sketches. Collectively, what is presented here is a veritable history of a people--a "tribe" of people--who settled in the valley between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers more than two hundred years ago. The object of the book is to show where these people originated and what became of them and their descendants. Included among the source records are the various lists of the Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration; Abstracts of Some Ancient Items from Mecklenburg County Records; Marriage Records and Relationships of Mecklenburg People; List of Public Officials of Mecklenburg County, 1775-1785; First U.S. Census of 1790 by Districts; Tombstone Inscriptions; and Sketches of the Mecklenburg Signers. The work concludes with indexes of subjects and places, as well as a name index of 5,000 persons. (Part III of "Lost Tribes of North Carolina.")
