Would anyone be able to help me better understand the following location descriptions: 1767 Cumberland Co. was divided into six townships Two of the twps were Bedford and Barre Africa's History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties says: Bedford: "Bounded by the the above-mentioned(above Bedford is listed Cumberland:"Bounded by Coleraine township(as above), the provincial line to the Allegeney Mountain to the top of the ridge that divides the waters of Wills Creek; from thence of Juniata to strike Dunning's Mountain through Lun's Gap")east line and Dunning's Mountain to the gap of Morrison's Cove, and from thence to the top of Tussee's Mountain(joining Barre Township) so as to include Morrison's Cove, and from the end of Morrison's cove cross by Frankstown to the Allegheny." Barre: "Bounded by Dublin, Coleraine, and Bedford townships, as already mentioned, and along the Allegany until a line struck from thence to Jack's Mountain so as to include the waters of Little Juniata and Shaver's and Standing Stone Creeks." The reason I am interested in better understanding where Bedford and Barre twps of Cumberland were exactly located is that after 1771 when Bedford Co. was erected from Cumberland Co., in 1775 Frankstown Twp of Bedford Co. was formed, and per Africa "from parts of Bedford and Barre and the boundaries fixed as follows: "Along the line dividing Bedford and Northumberland Counties from the West Branch of Susquehanna to where Little Juniata runs through Tussey's Mountain; then along the said mountain to the ridge dividing Morrison's Cove from Croyle's Cove; then along the said ridge to Dunning's Mountain; then along Dunning's Mountain to the dividing ridge between the waters of Dunnings' Creek and the southwest branch of Frankstown Branch; then along said ridge to the Allegeny Mountain; then cross the same and by the line of Quemahoning township to the line dividing Bedford and Westmoreland Counties, and by the said line and along the limits of this county to the place of beginning. This township included the whole of Blair County and the present townships of Morris, Franklin, and Warrior's Mark of Huntingdon County." So, I was thinking to better trace ancestors that were in the area of the present Tyrone, Morris, and Catharine townships(Morris and Catharine formed from Tyrone, and Tyrone formed from Frankstown), I should go back to some Bedford and Barre Twp, Cumberland Co. records. Thanks for any help on all this! Anne
