Marilyn, To encourage you, I can tell you that my Sulouff ancestor bought 206 acres in Milford Twp., Mifflin Co. (now Juniata Co.) in May 1802, and I found the original deed and other papers regarding the estate all stored together in the same file in the courthouse in Lewistown, County Seat for Mifflin Co. I was there in person and was allowed to make copies of all documents found in this "Estate File," dating from 1802 to 1841. I am retired in Arizona and regret I cannot do a lookup for you in Lewistown. Nelson R.
