Jim, The following great website has images of some early land records for Pennsylvania. http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/landrec.htm?secid=31 I have not searched it to see if Alexander Cobean's are there or not. I hope it helps. You can also find it with a google search on the words Pennsylvania State Archives land. Lee Anne
