    3. Just some interesting info... Virginia. Virginia claimed the southwestern portion of Pennsylvania which included the present counties of Allegheny, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland. Virginia called it the District of West Augusta and organized three counties: Monongalia,Ohio, and Yohogania. The current Pennsylvania boundary for this area was established in 1784. An explanation of some of the Virginia records that were kept is found in “The Virginia Land Grants in Pennsylvania,” in The Virginia Genealogist, vol. 7, 1963 (FHL book 975.5 B2vg; film 844856 item 4; computer number 110010). ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
