Plats..net is replete with duplicate pointers to properties, some of which are dead-end stubs with "0 direct scans". These might show up in various ways, depending on how your search was undertaken. To defeat this unhelpful "design feature" here, just use the Advanced Search link at the Worcester entry page and type "Johns Luck" in the description field that you're presented with. You'll be given both these properties with their real image links. There are dozens of tracts mentioning Pig Pen Branch, on both sides of the Worcester/Sussex border. I'll field the basic questions in this thread here by tomorrow, when I'll have a little more time to re-look at one of the original properties asked about, which it seems I left unguessed at about its location some years ago. (It seemed to claim to be where it could not possibly be, on the Worcester side, where it interfered with well-placed surveys. So I had to believe it was actually on the Sussex side. I just put it aside pending a later look. Looks like now's that time!) But recall that when we're looking at any Unpatented Certificate, we may be seeing something that was tossed out eventually upon discovery that it was, in fact, placed in a wrong spot. The survey records are not always complete as to the reasons for ultimate disposition of unpatented properties into the "rejected" file.
