|
Two different men, John McAninch and William McAninch, can be found in four early land survey records (1806, 1808, 1811, 1838) in the first survey book of Armstrong County, Penn. [General Note 1] |
|
|
|
Armstrong County was created March 12, 1800, from parts of Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties. Their first survey book covers the years 1793-1906; these four land parcels (surveys transcribed here) were originally part of Allegheny County, but no (surviving) land records have been found there. |
