By: Henry M. Muhlenberg Richards, Pub. 1908, Reprinted 2019, 542 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-864-1.This book is a consolidation of the records of the vast majority of Pennsylvania-Germans who took part in the Revolutionary War and is probably as close as we are going to have as a definitive history and roster.

The bulk of this book focuses on the Pennsylvania-Germans in the Continental Army, the Pennsylvania Line, the German Regiment, and the Flying Camp, though there is considerable data on the Pennsylvania-Germans in Maryland and Virginia regiments. Of almost equal importance are the chapters on the Emergency Men, patriots and non-combatants, each with biographical sketches of eminent men.

By: William Henry Egle, Orig. Pub. 1893, Reprinted 2019, 790 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-367-4.The early days of the new Colonies in America were dictated by the King Charles II and his granting of land within them. William Penn played a huge role in the development of Pennsylvania shortly after receiving his grant in 1680. He offered portions of his new lands up for sell to be purchased out right or a person could purchase the "Rights" to lands that the final parcel has not yet been determined. When purchaesed out right, the buyer would be delivered a description of the land in terms of metes and bounds. When someone purchased the "Rights" to lands, he would receive a warrant for his money. He would then provide this to the Surveyor General when he arrived in Pennsylvania and choose his parcel land. Many times these warrants or "Rights" to lands would be purchased as investments and alter put back up for sell as the original purchaser had no intentions on coming to the new world. This book is invaluable for the researcher of early Pennsylvania genealogy. This book is based on the minutes of the Board of Property begining in the year 1687 and ending in 1732. It not only gives the history of the property in detail but also provides a great deal of genealogical information about the family who purchased these lands.
