James McFarlane Land Survey Map 1770
James McFarlane Land Survey Map #3363, ordered on June 13, 1769, and executed on May 25, 1770. This survey was conducted for James McFarlane's New Purchase Application. Notice that the four corners of the tract are marked with a black oak tree, a white oak tree and two posts. The two posts were probably installed by the surveyor. This tract, called "Black Oak Hill" may have been named after the black oak at the corner of the tract. Originally recorded in Pennsylvania Survey Book M, Page 409. Replicated from microfilm at the Pennsylvania State Archives, Harrisburg, PA, Roll 28.24.
