[source: www.familysearch.org] There are two conflicting entries here... pin# 969805 has a death date of
23-feb-1839. Pin#971225 lists death as "July 1839. However BOTH entries have the same father, mother and wife. I have chosen to list the more specific death date, though it does not affect the tree either way since both are the same person.

 DOCUMENT LEADS

Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866
Items Between Anderson, Robert and Anderson, Samuel

 

Dubious? Robert Lester Anderson was from Butler county, Pennsylvania and served in the Civil war but was born in 1830 so by 1861 he would have been 31, not age 19 as the card says… so this is a dubious record.  Many Civil War records were destroyed in the great fire so there may be no records at all of his service… when I sent a request they cold find none… however as they come online we may find one like this….. –keith drury 6/08)

Butler County Land Warrants

Items in red may be a lead.

 

A deed is the first document in the series for an original land purchaser. It is evidence of his right to a specified amount of unlocated land.  

The second item in the series of documents used to transfer land to private ownership is a warrant.  A warrant is an order to survey the land in question.  A deputy surveyor following the warrant conducts a survey. The survey is usually drawn on paper showing corner markers and adjoining landowners are named. In earlier surveys, however, the survey was sometimes only a verbal description.  

A patent is the final deed from the proprietary or the Commonwealth government conveying all rights to a particular tract of land.  It completes the transfer of ownership and is issued after the warrantee satisfies the fees and purchase requirements

Copies are $.25 per page. Most estates run $3-$6 but can range from $.25 to $75. The Library limits copying to around $10.00 per mailing (or, if more than $10.00, the amount needed to completely copy an estate). Upon receipt of payment, the staff will forward another $10.00 worth of copies, etc. Payment may be made by check, money order, or credit/debit card. No American Express or Discover please. Do not send money in advance. The Library will forward the copies with a cover letter advising you of the fees. In lieu of a search fee, a donation is requested, which goes exclusively toward the maintenance of the Genealogy Department, payable with the final installment of your order. *When requesting these files, you should include the file number & name (Example A4 Adams Thomas) Copies of Estates
