Please Note:

These lists were originally published in 1896, based on handwritten lists written more than 100 years prior to that, and they were probably transcribed by multiple individuals. These lists are therefore highly error prone when it comes to rendering of names, but I have nevertheless copied the surnames exactly as spelled in the Pennsylvania Archives. At the bottom of this page I have attempted to show where the same surname was spelled differently at different times.

I have changed the information found on the published lists in the following manner:

(Source: PACHESTE-L listserv members)
