    1. [PAWESTMO] Wetmoreland County, PA maps
    2. Hello, If any of those interested in the maps that have been discussed.....if, perchance you see any surveying done by Henry Wise, the Silversmith and Clockmaker who lived in Greensburg until 1833, I would appreciate knowing.  I know he surveyed the land Johnstown, PA is on, as well as land in Somerset County, Pa for the Surveyor who assited in surveying and laying out Pittsburgh.  That was a Mr. Vickroy.  This is the same Henry Wise, who's clock is at the Museum of American Art in Greensburg.  He is my direct ancestor.  I am trying to learn more about his surveying activities.  He was born in 1763, died in Greensburg in 1833.  I am still in search of his parents and birth place.  He was living in Bedford, listed himself as a "Silversmith" at the time he did the surveying for Mr. Vickroy. Thank you, tullycross2@comcast.net
