Where are the records kept today for folks who in and before 1720 -
1752
acquired and settled land in what was then Bucks County? That land is
today
physically located in Monroe, Pike and Northampton Counties. But I
suspect the land
and court records might have been in Philadelphia with the Penn
owners. Or is
it part of Bucks archives. Some of these folks were living there even
before
the Walking Purchase events. Many seem to have been Dutch and German
settlers
from New York and/or New Jersey who were perhaps residing in the
Minisink
area as early as 1700 while staying connected to folks and church in
Ulster
County, NY/Kingston and across the river in what is today Sussex &
Warren counties,
New Jersey [also part of the Minisink region]. When did the Penns
and/or
Bucks County really lay claim to and start "governing" that part of
the Bucks
County? In 1740s Moravian records some folks in Dansbury[Stroudsburg]
and
Bethlehem seem to be going to Newtown for court and with petitions.
Where are those
records from the Newtown county seat days kept if existent, in 2004?
Thanks for the info and insight from local perspective.
