This volume represents a long-needed revision of William Egle's 1894 transcription of a notebook which lists "Virginia Certificates" registering land-claims in the disputed territory on the Pennsylvania-Virginia border (which ultimately came to reside in Pennsylvania).
This wonderful tool offers the following additions and enhancements to Egle's original work: numerous missing entries have been added; all names have been transcribed exactly as entered in the original notebook; all of the marginal annotations have been included; and an everyname index has been incorporated. Additionally, every effort has been made to identify the location of the tracts which have no entry in the "Where Situate" column. Finally, maps have been added of the waterways to show the approximate location of the tracts.
