1801 to 1891 Johnny come latelys. The old names had come and some of them gone by 1801. Many warrants were bought and sold by speculaters who never saw the land. Records that are not at the county courthouse are at the archives in Harrisburg. Unless they were destoryed by fire. Squatters were not uncommon, but didn't get title to the land.That's one of the reasons some of the old names moved on.----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Renkert" <suerenkert@gci.net> To: <PACENTRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [PACENTRE] Check out CENTRE WARR of Land, [PA ARCH 3:25:785] > Thanks, Jean, for sharing this.
