Very interesting!! At this point, I wonder if the PA State Archives or the
Library in Harrisburg would be the best bet to find anything???

How did he find out the record was in another location?

Thanks.

Can't be of much help, however usually all records are kept in the parent
county of record.

The classic story, along this line, a researcher was looking for an ancestor
who lived in Key West, FL (now Monroe County) nothing could be found until
the
researcher discovered the record was in ST Johns County (St Augustine,
north Florida) some 400 miles north. At the time there were just two
organized
counties in the state, thus St Johns was actually the entire eastern part of
the state.
