    1. [PACENTRE] Land Survey Request and Description
    2. The following description is given of a piece of land "on Sideling Hill Cr ne of Raystown Cr".  Can anyone identify this description?  Is it in Spring Township?  Is it a part of Bald Eagle township under Mifflin County before the establishment of Centre County? The warrantee at this time--June 9, 1769-- is Thomas Calvert.  He apparently dropped his request for a survey.  Later, December 12, 1828, a Thomas Calvert, warrantee, requests a survey of two pieces of property in Bald Eagle Township of Centre County.  I would assume this would be in Spring Township today. The property described in the subsequent survey has a creek running through it.  It is described as N 23 W 202 on the North West, S32 E148 on the South West, N23 W202 on the North East of an irregular piece of property. Could the property in the second request be the same describe in the first request? The terms Warrantee and Patentee are used in the survey requests.  What are the legal definitions of these terms?
