Here is what I copied from the web site mentioned in the previous e-mail, from the on-line version of Penna. Archives, 3rd Series; Harrisburg 1894. Volume III has a major section consisting of "Warrants for Islands In the Susquehanna" (applications 1793-1872). 1 April-Martin Kendig, 4 acres. An Island in the river Susquehanna, nearly opposite the lower end of Cough's Island, on the South East side, about four miles below Sunbury, in Augusta Township, Northumberland County, unimproved, and is susceptible of cultivation. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PANORTHU] Where was Kendig's Island This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
