Pub. 1893, Reprinted 2019, 790 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-367-4. The early days of the new Colonies in America were dictated by the King Charles II and his granting of land within them. William Penn played a huge role in the development of Pennsylvania shortly after receiving his grant in 1680. He offered portions of his new lands up for sell to be purchased out right or a person could purchase the "Rights" to lands that the final parcel has not yet been determined. When purchaesed out right, the buyer would be delivered a description of the land in terms of metes and bounds. When someone purchased the "Rights" to lands, he would receive a warrant for his money. He would then provide this to the Surveyor General when he arrived in Pennsylvania and choose his parcel land. Many times these warrants or "Rights" to lands would be purchased as investments and alter put back up for sell as the original purchaser had no intentions on coming to the new world. This book is invaluable for the researcher of early Pennsylvania genealogy. This book is based on the minutes of the Board of Property begining in the year 1687 and ending in 1732. It not only gives the history of the property in detail but also provides a great deal of genealogical information about the family who purchased these lands.

Book excerpt: Shortly after William Penn was granted the tract of land known as Pennsylvania by King Charles II in 1680, he began offering 'rights' to a set number of acres for investors. These 'rights' were generally offered in lots of 5,000 acres, but 'rights' for smaller tracts were allowed, the minimum purchase size being 250 acres. The purchaser would receive a warrant in exchange for his money. This warrant provided proof of his right to select a tract of land of specific size, not already claimed, once he arrived in America. Once suitable land was located, the purchaser then applied to the Surveyor General for a survey, which once completed enabled the purchaser to apply for a patent, when he could afford the fee. Originally published as Volume XIX of the Second Series of the Pennsylvania Archives in 1893, this work contains the Minutes of the Board of Property beginning with Book C, which is believed to be the earliest legible collection of property records, and continuing on through Book I. Covering the time frame from March 13, 1687 through March 30, 1732, this 2 volume set is essential for anyone wishing to research early Pennsylvania genealogy. For each property the board assesses in these records, a history of the tract is given, providing a considerable amount of genealogical information about the family who owned the land. The original surname index has been included.
