Any Revolutionary War pension or service record will probably be on file in state archives rather than federal records since the land was given by the state of Pennsylvania. This area was part of the Depreciation Land which was given to Revolutionary War soldiers, so the mere fact that a person received land in this county dictates further research in Revolutionary War records. The free Warrantee Atlas of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania that we are posting, published in 1908, is located in the Library of Congress and may have been the first of its kind undertaken by the state to plat all of the earliest surveys on township maps. Our goal is to post landowner maps, or links to other websites with landowner maps, for every county in the state. In addition to publishing our own books, we are posting images of 19th century maps and atlases that we personally took in the Library of Congress. Ancestor Tracks is committed to becoming a one-stop resource for researchers of early Pennsylvania landowners.
