You may want to search in Virginia records, as well. This area was disputed between colonial Virginia and colonial Pennsylvania and both set up courts in whatever building was available in the areas.. The Mason Dixon line finally settled the question where Virginia's claim ended. However, it was so mountainous between the two that sometimes the inhabitants themselves weren't aware which colony they were in. Also, some simply went to the nearest "courthouse," ignoring lines that existed on crude maps but not on trails and routes. I learned as well that those who had roots in Virginia tended to go to that court house, as did the Pennsylvanians to the court held by PA. Be sure to check both colonies' records.
