>Thank you for this information, is any of this at The David Library >on-line to be researched from home ? It's a research facility so it requires visiting. I have not been there yet. All that is online at www.dlar.org seems to be some lists of some of the collection materials. That appears useful in and of itself. I had searched the web fairly extensively for info on Bounty Grant listings and didn't find much in the way of any comprehensive resources. This is the closest I found yet to what looks like one library with very specialized records like this. Some of the material online also points to sources - the Bounty Grant microfilms I cited were from the National Archives (2600+ reels!) but there's a much broader context of info at the David Library that covers a lot more than that, and also info on Loyalists, Loyalist grants in Canada and other things. I added it to my list of places in PA I'd like to visit when I get a chance. The Historical Society of PA in Philadelphia is another. See their website at www.hsp.org. Then there is the Genealogical Society of PA, also in Philadelphia (www.genpa.org) which has some useful free databases on their web site (Conscientious Objectors to the Civil War). Many of the surnames recently discussed are found in the surname records there pointing to bible records or other info on file there. With most locations like this, and the Chester County Historical Society, or the Lancaster County Historical Society which also has great records and good finding aids online (www.lchs.org), it pays off to use the online resources as much as possible to organize what you hope to find there so that you can move quickly once you arrive and orient yourself. I spent 5 hours at Lancaster recently and for some reason that day some of the finding aids I had saved to my own PC on the Slaymaker Family White Chimney manuscript files simply wouldn't come up on their web site and got a broken page. I was able to find it on cached on Google, and on my laptop PC, but if I hadn't known it was there in advance I would have missed it that day. That Slaymaker family was among the first to receive land grants in 1710 with Marie Feree in areas that later became Pequea and later the often joked about Amish towns of Intecourse, Blue Ball, Bird in Hand and Paradise. The White Chimneys files have extensive accounting notes and legal papers. One of the things it covers is the disputes in the Boyd family where two Boyd parents died and the brother adminsitered the estate for about 20 years for his sisters without formally settling it until his sister Margaret Boyd and her husband James Hamilton pressed for their share. I haven't had a chance to read up on this yet but it's of interest to me because that Hamilton family of Leacock is in my allied lines, as are the Boyds. It seems to have been some scandalous affair that I think also ended up involving land disputes that passed on a generation or two longer than they should have because of the wills being settled some 20 years after the death of the Boyd parents.
