*Images of Each Register Page*


The Original Purchases Register is a later version of the list of the names of First and Late Purchasers appearing in the Warrant Register Book, 1682-1762 {series #17.82}. The letters and numbers following the date of the warrant or the date of the survey refer to the first letter of the surname and the number under which the entry will be found in the appropriate Old Rights Register, such as the Old Rights Index for Bucks and Chester Counties, 1682-1740. (1 volume) {#17.78} or the Philadelphia Old Rights, 1682-1745. (1 volume) {#17.79}. (To locate "H-11" in Bucks County, for example, go to the Old Rights Register for Bucks County, select the section of surnames beginning with "H" and scan down the page to the eleventh entry.) The letter and number given for the return of survey refer to the book and page where the return of survey is recorded.

Also, blank “notes” pages, as well as empty numbered pages, have been deleted from this listing.
