      Tract #1: 365A Earl tp.

      Patent A-10-305: 365a pat. 20 Apr 1741 to Henry Weaver.
      In or about 1726, there was surveyed 365A in Lancaster County, land since settled by the said Henry Weaver, who was granted a warrant to accept for the same on 10 Apr instant. Description: by land of David Martin, by land of David Davis, by land of Jacob Sinziney, by vacant land, by land of John Kitzmiller, by vacant land.

      1726: Survey, 365A
      1741: Warrant to accept to Henry Weber, 365A
      1758: Heirs of Henry Weber to his son Christian Weber, 183A (D479b)

      COMMENT: It is nearly impossible to accurately trace the various Henry Weber's in the township; however, Deed G3-30, dated 5 June 1795, proves without a doubt that Henry Weber, son of Henry, yet owned at least 89A Earl tp. out of the 183A allotted to him in 1758. Therefore, he must be taxed continuously through 1789.
