| These tracts are not perfectly placed on the map background. I believe these tracts are in the right vicinity though. A couple of the survey maps for these tracts indicated they were located on a branch of the Hockendauqua Creek. All these tracts were in Moore Township. Green tract #302 is the Frederick Bergman tract. #303 is "Late Abraham Sevitz (Levitz?) now Widow Townsen" [Townson]; [late means previously owned] #292 is Late Andrew Deimer; [late means previously owned] #300 is Jost Yotter/Jotter; #301 is Andrew Shall (brown tract). #151, the long skinny one is Baltzer Staehle. Baltzer has 145 and 148 too of the same color. You can see Nicholas Silvius' light green tracts, #48, #49, #65, and #150. Nicholas sold part of #65 to Andrew Shall which transaction is mentioned in Nicholas' Will. #49 was sold to Baltzar Stehley which transaction is also mentioned in Nicholas' Will. I'm not sure what happened to #150. Tracts #232 and #233 are John and Maria Barbara (Silvius) Heil tracts. #200 is Jonathan and Anna Maria (Silvius) Heil, brother of John Heil. Anna Maria and Barbara were sisters. #259, to the right, is Nicholas Heil--he contracted to buy this land before he died. Nicholas Leberman sold #49 to Nicholas Silvius (Leberman married the widow of Nicholas Heil). The beige tracts of #195, #193, and #152 are more Andrew Deimer lands. And, the lavender #157, #290, and #291 tracts are Martin Rohrig's lands (I've been told he is the father of Philip Rohrig). And little blue #194 is Jacob Hoch land. The land that Nicholas Leberman sold to Nicholas Silvius was first surveyed for Jacob Hoch. |
