Download or read book The First Landowners of Greene County Pennsylvania written by Don Corbly and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book lists the first landowners who recorded land claims beginning in 1784 in what became Greene County, Pennsylvania. Prior to that time the settler claimed his land by marking its boundary with blazed trees or other significant landmarks. A claim was only as secure as the settler's ability to enforce it by barter or force of arms. When an accurate survey of his land could be established by the Mason-Dixon survey, each landowner rushed to the County Land Office to obtain a surveyed plat of his claim. Those surveyed plats are listed in this book along with the person to whom they later sold their land. A detailed index is included for the genealogically minded reader.This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.
Download or read book Pennsylvania Land Wars with Connecticut and Virginia written by Don Corbly and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the land wars Pennsylvania found itself embroiled in during the latter half of the 18th Century. The wars stemmed from the ambiguous Charters that established the the Colonies of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Virginia. Charles II created the conflict between Pennsylvania and Connecticut by the overlapping of the boundaries of the land he granted to each colony. Similarly, the land granted to Pennsylvania was contested by Virginia. But Virginia could have contested nearly any Colony's land grant. Virginia's grant from James I included most of present-day United States, northern Mexico, and most of western Canada. These armed conflicts were settled only by the first Congress established by the newly formed United States Constitution in 1787, when it ruled in Pennsylvania's favor.This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.

Book excerpt: This useful offprint contains biographical sketches of approximately 800 southwestern Pennsylvania residents.

Typical sketches mention the date and place of birth and marriage of the biographee; the name of his wife and the names of his children; names with dates and places of birth of his parents and often grandparents; sometimes the name of the first ancestor in America; and details of religion, education, military service, occupation, home, and residence.

Download or read book The Families of Elizabeth Betsy Tyler Corbly written by Don Corbly and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-12-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth 'Betsy' Tyler was an unknown person in the history of western colonial Pennsylvania. She has been the subject of innumerable stories most of which describe only an event, not Betsy. Her story was first published on August 10, 1785 in the American Daily Advertiser, a Philadelphia daily newspaper owned by Messrs Dunlap and Claypoole. Many other newspapers of the day picked up the story and reprinted it. Her name was not mentioned in any of them. Betsy and John had five children, but only one lived to maturity. In 1782 Betsy and three of her children were massacred by an Indian scalping party. Another daughter died from her wounds later. Her first child, Delilah, was all that was left of Betsy's life. Nothing has been written about Betsy or Delilah until now. This book tells the stories of Betsy's ancestors, her parents and siblings, her life with the preacher John Corbly, and the life and descendants of Delilah, her only surviving child and legacy.
