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

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

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.
