*BOOK: "The Snyder County Pioneers," by Dr. Charles A. Fisher.
Softbound volume totaling 109 pages. Book is in excellent condition. 
Reprinted 2001. Per the publisher;
This is a collection of biographical notices of nearly 1,000 persons
whose names appeared on tax or military rolls prior to 1800 in what is
now Snyder County, Pennsylvania, which then consisted of parts of
Cumberland, Northumberland, and Berks counties. The notices generally
give the dates and places of the subject's birth and death; the names of
his wife and children; references to immigration and migration,
residence, occupation, real estate, and military service; and notations
pertaining to the marriages and baptisms of other family members. The
data, which are believed to represent a complete record of all people
living in Snyder County prior to 1800, are based on Dr. Fisher's
examinations of county court records, church records, tombstone
inscriptions, state and federal archives, private papers, family
histories, and printed books and pamphlets.

*BOOK: "Pennsylvania Land Applications," Volume I: East Side
Applications, 1765-1769
by Kenneth D. McCrea, Ph. D. This book includes information from over
4000 land applications that have never before been published. The East
Side Applications were for land east of the Susquehanna River within the
area that had been purchased from the Indians prior to 1765 (see map).
The information in this book includes the name of the original
applicant, the county the land was located in, the names of person(s)
filing later paperwork for the land, references to the surveys, and the
names of neighbors at the time of the application. In many cases the
neighbors may never have obtained legal title to their land, therefore
for these people there may be no other surviving record of their
presence at that location. The neighbors' names are not indexed in the
original records. The book includes an every name index with over 16,000
entries and a phonetic cross-reference section to make finding spelling
variants easier.
