Does anyone know anything about this tract of land, called AYRESBURG? Here is a tiny excerpt from the Commemorative Encyclopedia of Dauphin County, being put online by Bob Maley... AYRES, JOHN, son of William Ayres and his wife Mary Kean, was born February 9, 1754. At the age of twenty-one years, accompanied his father and family in their movement to Paxtang township, Lancaster, now Dauphin county, Pa.; subsequently became the owner of the homestead there established, and added thereto a certain tract of land called "Ayresburg." I believe I have seen some reference somewhere that referred to this tract, and may have mentioned some AYRES who I had not thought was connected to my line (whereas this proves there must have been some connection!).
