Huntingdon County

These two drawings are from the actual land record books (from Cumberland County, apparently; Huntingdon Co. wasn't formed til 1787 and Bedford Co. in 1771), the first for James Brown from 1766, the second for William Brown from 1773. There are longhand records of the transactions below the drawings, followed by some text from a later time. Kathy Wells got them from the Blair County Gen. Soc.:

The longhand in Book C-012 pg 20 says:

Surveyed for William Brown the 15th Day of December A. D 1773 in Pursuance of the Honourable the Proprietaries Warrant bearing Date at Philadelphia the 7th day of August A. D 1773.

William Brown Land Record



Geo Wilds' 139 acres are outlined here; they were later sold to William Brown. Joseph Brown's land is shown here too. Bobby Brown cobbled this together from two different scans he made of a big map he had of Trough Creek Valley (must be his PA Forestry Map). His notation near the arrowhead says, "Arrow points the direction of Geo Wilds land sold to William S. Brown in 1786":

Geo Wilds' Land

From a Pennsylvania map probably made between 1800 and 1804, judging by the dates of county formation. E. A. Brown got it from Heritage Map Museum. Huntingdon, Bedford, Franklin, and Cumberland counties are visible here, as well as the Mason/Dixon line down at the bottom:
