Huntingdon County

If your ancestor was actually a first landowner in the county, purchasing his or her property from the colony or state of Pennsylvania, details regarding these tracts will probably be found in the Warrant Register and Patent Register on file at the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg and available on CD from Ancestor Tracks. The following Township Warrantee Maps, showing the metes-and-bounds plats of the first landowners of the county, may be ordered from:

Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission
Pennsylvania State Archives
350 North Street
Harrisburg, PA 17120-0090
(717) 783-3281

Note: It appears that Springfield Township is the only township for which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania draftsmen connected the surveys and patents and created a complete Township Warrantee Map. If any researcher knows of additional land resources, please contact customer_service@ancestortracks.com. These Township Warrantee Maps show the first purchasers of land from the colony or state of Pennsylvania, usually from the 1700s.

The current price for a paper copy of the map is shown. Postage and handling is additional: $1.00 for orders up to $5.00; $2.50 for orders from $5.01-$20.00; $5.00 for orders $20.01-$100.00; $10.00 for orders over $100.00. Checks should be made out to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

For researchers of later landowners, the 1873 Atlas of Blair and Huntingdon Counties Pennsylvania From actual Surveys by and under the direction of Beach Nichols, published by A. Pomeroy & Co., has been posted at the USGenWeb Archives.
