In creating this map I used the excellent computer software called DeedMapper.   

The information contained in the table above was gleaned from survfey maps.  is all the information that I have on these Palmerton neighbors. The Warrant information in columns 2 and 3 above were included on the survey maps.  Copies of the survey maps can now be obtained online from the Pennsylvania State Archives.  Choose "Copied Survey Books" to find the particular survey mentioned on this page.  Or search the "Warrant Registers."  All documents are in pdf format. 

See the Pennsylvania State Archives site for further information.
