Northampton County, PA: First Warrantees and Patentees of Moore Township (pdf download)

Joel Hoffner and Dan Tanczos co-authored First Warrantees and Patentees of Moore Township, Northampton County, PA. This publication contains 328 tracts owned by the first landowners (warrantees and patentees) that are mapped onto a Warrant Survey Tract Map further divided into nine sectors labeled 1 through 9. Each of the nine sector maps is three miles wide and three miles long, and the original plats are overlaid onto modern road maps showing unlabeled streets and a few identifying geographical elements like creeks. As Joel states, mapping the tracts "was a best-faith effort to identify the current-day location of surveys associated with early warrants issued for Moore Township. Errors associated with the original surveys were discovered in the course of this research but were not corrected. As a result, some tracts overlap or do not abut as the surveyor intended."
