Book Description
This book lists the first landowners who recorded land claims beginning in 1784 in what became Greene County, Pennsylvania. Prior to that time the settler claimed his land by marking its boundary with blazed trees or other significant landmarks. A claim was only as secure as the settler's ability to enforce it by barter or force of arms. When an accurate survey of his land could be established by the Mason-Dixon survey, each landowner rushed to the County Land Office to obtain a surveyed plat of his claim. Those surveyed plats are listed in this book along with the person to whom they later sold their land. A detailed index is included for the genealogically minded reader.This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.

Book Description
This is a book about the land wars Pennsylvania found itself embroiled in during the latter half of the 18th Century. The wars stemmed from the ambiguous Charters that established the the Colonies of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Virginia. Charles II created the conflict between Pennsylvania and Connecticut by the overlapping of the boundaries of the land he granted to each colony. Similarly, the land granted to Pennsylvania was contested by Virginia. But Virginia could have contested nearly any Colony's land grant. Virginia's grant from James I included most of present-day United States, northern Mexico, and most of western Canada. These armed conflicts were settled only by the first Congress established by the newly formed United States Constitution in 1787, when it ruled in Pennsylvania's favor.This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.

Book Description
Elizabeth 'Betsy' Tyler was an unknown person in the history of western colonial Pennsylvania. She has been the subject of innumerable stories most of which describe only an event, not Betsy. Her story was first published on August 10, 1785 in the American Daily Advertiser, a Philadelphia daily newspaper owned by Messrs Dunlap and Claypoole. Many other newspapers of the day picked up the story and reprinted it. Her name was not mentioned in any of them. Betsy and John had five children, but only one lived to maturity. In 1782 Betsy and three of her children were massacred by an Indian scalping party. Another daughter died from her wounds later. Her first child, Delilah, was all that was left of Betsy's life. Nothing has been written about Betsy or Delilah until now. This book tells the stories of Betsy's ancestors, her parents and siblings, her life with the preacher John Corbly, and the life and descendants of Delilah, her only surviving child and legacy.

Book Description
"The publication of Genealogies of Kentucky Families offers researchers an unprecedented opportunity to acquire a complete collection of the two-hundred family history articles published originally in The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and The Filson Club Quarterly. With the cooperation of both The Filson Club and the Kentucky Historical Society, we have excerpted the family history articles from the above-named journals and have reprinted them in three large volumes. Two of the three volumes are composed of articles excerpted from the Register (covering families in alphabetical sequence from A-M and O-Y); the third volume is made up entirely of articles excerpted from the Filson Club History Quarterly. The combined articles are preceded by introductory remarks written by the editors of the two periodicals, James Klotter of the Register and Nelson Dawson of the Quarterly. Each volume, moreover, is published with its own index."--Amazon.
