[source: www.familysearch.org] There are two conflicting entries here... pin# 969805 has a death date of 23-feb-1839. Pin#971225 lists death as "July 1839. However BOTH entries have the same father, mother and wife. I have chosen to list the more specific death date, though it does not affect the tree either way since both are the same person.

DOCUMENT LEADS

(Still investigating (6/08)—some are dubious but may be leads to other sources

http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/archive.asp

Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866
Items Between Anderson, Robert and Anderson, Samuel

Dubious? Robert Lester Anderson was from Butler county, Pennsylvania and served in the Civil war but was born in 1830 so by 1861 he would have been 31, not age 19 as the card says… so this is a dubious record. Many Civil War records were destroyed in the great fire so there may be no records at all of his service… when I sent a request they cold find none… however as they come online we may find one like this….. –keith drury 6/08)

Butler County Land Warrants

Items in red may be a lead.

A deed is the first document in the series for an original land purchaser. It is evidence of his right to a specified amount of unlocated land.

The second item in the series of documents used to transfer land to private ownership is a warrant. A warrant is an order to survey the land in question. A deputy surveyor following the warrant conducts a survey. The survey is usually drawn on paper showing corner markers and adjoining landowners are named. In earlier surveys, however, the survey was sometimes only a verbal description.

A patent is the final deed from the proprietary or the Commonwealth government conveying all rights to a particular tract of land. It completes the transfer of ownership and is issued after the warrantee satisfies the fees and purchase requirements

Items in red may be a lead.

This Directory is comprised of a short history of Butler County, the information from that is included in the 1883 History of Butler County, and the following 20 boroughs. The inhabitants, businesses, and churches are listed in these pages. In this index, we have not included the paid advertisements that were on almost every page of the book. The information included in this index is complete for each of the entries in the book. They have been listed here alphabetically for ease in locating a surname. The Borough name listed for each person, is the Borough where the entry is included, not necessarily the place of residence. When the person resided elsewhere, it is noted.

This is an example of an entry as it appears in the Butler section:
