Below are links to the scanned pages of
the Old Rights Index of warrants and surveys for pre-1733 Bucks and Chester
counties. These Old Rights registers serve as the warrant registers for the
period 1682-1732, and research for this time period should begin with these
or the Patent
Indexes. The index is divided into two sections, links to which appear below:
Entries for both counties are grouped alphabetically by the surname that appears
on each document and then arranged consecutively by entry number under each
letter. Present information includes: the number of the entry, the type of document
from which the information was taken (warrant, return, draft, or re-survey),
name of individual, number of acres, date of the document, and the volume, book,
and page number of the survey book in which the document was entered.
