There are several William & Sarah Wilson couples in Berks in this time frame so I am trying to verify I have the correct ones. The Wilson couple I am focusing on has a son Franklin Wilson (there are also a few of these in Berks). There is a death record in Reading for a Franklin Wilson that died 4/20/1900. I believe they also had a daughter Mary Jane (Wilson) Corkrey. The index for Reading death records indicates she died 3/18/1892. If anyone has access to the Reading Death record CD and can check to see if it indicates their parents names, that would great. I will also contact the cemetery directly and see what they can tell me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Central Daylight Time Subj: Re: Fw: [PABERKS] Re: Jacob Hill's land 1739 Leon: Would you know where I could get a copy of the 7/May/1734 land warrant and connected land draft which you refer to in the attached map you shared with me? Thanks, Les Hill St. Louis MO LEON'S ANSWER: Les, You can order Warrants and Patents from the Pennsylvania State Archives. Instructions and cost can be found at: http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/Bah/DAM/Land%20Record%20Order%20Form.pdf Do your own searching and order by document number. Pay $3.00 instead of $25.00. You can get the information you want by going to: http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/Bah/DAM/landrec.htm . When this site opens you should see a table titled Scanned Land Records, viewable online:" at the top of the page. 1.click on "Warrant Registers" in the upper left hand corner of the table. This will open to a list of Pennsylvania Counties. 2. scroll down and click on Philadelphia County (why Philadelphia? Because we know the warrant date is 1734 and Berks County wasn't incorporated from Phila. until 1752). This will open an index of page numbers sorted by the first initial of the surname. 3. scroll down to the "H" section (because you're looking for "Hill, Jacob") and click on "page 22" (I already did this, so I know "Jacob Hill" is on this page. If he wasn't, you would have to search each "H" page until you found him.) 4.When page 22 opens, it is very small. Click on the small triangle next to the box containing 25% and select 100% from the menu (you can select any number - I use 100%). You can move the page with the mouse using the Hand Tool or the scroll bars (if the hand tool isn't present, right click on the page and select it from the resulting menu . You can also use the "direction keys" on the Keyboard 5. Search down the page until you find "Hill, Jacob". If you did everything right, you should find him at Warrant No. 18 (be careful, the numbers are not always sequential). Now to find the plat map or "drawing" of the land survey (these you can copy at no cost). You have the hardest part done by completing steps 1 thru 5 above. Now move to the last two columns on the right of the page. 1. In the last two columns you have the book No. and the page number where the survey is copied. Copy these numbers. For John Hill these numbers are Book C97 pages 80 & 81 or written C97-80,81 2. Go back to the table titled "Scanned Land Records, viewable online" (3 or 4 clicks on the "back arrow" should get you there) and click on "Copied Survey Books". This wll open an index for volumes (read instructions on page that opens). 3. For "Jacob Hill" we want Volume C97 (listed in index as C-97). Find and click on "C-97". A "page number" index for Volume C97 opens. Since we want page 80 in this volume, find "C-97-80, reverse" and click on "C-97-80".You can move and change the size of the draft image as you did the Warrant image. 4. click on the "back arrow" to go back to "C-97-80, reverse" on the "page number" index and click on "reverse" to read the back side of the draft page. To copy images. You'll see that when you open survey images there's a lot of extraneous material on the screen that you don't want to copy (all that black area on the screen which takes time to print and uses lots of ink -- also, the certification on the bottom of the page is probably not needed for your purpose). Select only what you want to print by using the select tool. Put the mouse pointer which is probably a hand) on the document and RIGHT CLICK. On the resulting menu, click on the "Select Tool". The "hand" now becomes a cross-hair that you can move with the mouse. Position the cross-hair in the upper right hand corner of the page, slightly above and to the right of the page number. Depress and hold down the left mouse button while moving the cross-hair to the left and down (stay on the page) until you covered the area you want to copy. Release the mouse button and check that what you want to copy is covered with blue. If your satisfied with your selection, RIGHT CLICK on the blue area then click on the word "copy" that appears. Open your word processor and select "center alignment". RIGHT CLICK on the empty document and in the resulting menu, click on "Paste". Print the document. Write "C97-" (without the quotes) in front of the page number so you now have in the upper right hand corner C97-80 (you never know if later you'll want to go back online and check something on this document). Now select copy and paste the reverse side of the document to your word processor. Insert the printed copy of the survey into your printer (make sure the copy is oriented so you print on the blank side of the page) and print the reverse side of the document from your word processor. If you have any problem with these instructions, Phone 610-942-4905. Leon F. Borst Chester County, PA

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Sheila2555 Surnames: Wilson, Corkrey Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.berks/9895.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thanks so much for your help. There are several William & Sarah Wilson couples in Berks in this time frame so I am trying to verify I have the correct ones. The Wilson couple I am focusing on has a son Franklin Wilson (there are also a few of these in Berks). There is a death record in Reading for a Franklin Wilson that died 4/20/1900. I believe they also had a daughter Mary Jane (Wilson) Corkrey. The index for Reading death records indicates she died 3/18/1892. If anyone has access to the Reading Death record CD and can check to see if it indicates their parents names, that would great. I will also contact the cemetery directly and see what they can tell me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
