This tract, spoken of before, had been taken up, or 

 mtended, for Maria Warenbuer. At a meeting of the 

 commissioners, 10th, 7th mo. 1712, Martin Kendig, the 

 widow, her son Daniel, and son-in-law Isaac Le Fevre, 

 appeared before them, Kendig desired that the land mjght 

 be granted and confirmed by patent to Maria, the widow : 

 — " but upon further consideration of the matter, it ivas 

 agreed among themselves that the said land be confirmed 

 to Daniel Fierre and Isaac Lefevre — and the considera- 

 tion money, one hundred and forty pounds, at seven 

 shillings per hundred acres, having been for some time 

 due, but was to be paid down in one sum, it was agreed 

 they should only pay ten pounds for interest, that is one 

 hundred and fifty pounds." 



The receipts for the purchase of this tract and quit- 

 rents for several years, signed by James Logan, and 

 others, are yet in existence, carefully preserved.* Much 

 care manifests itself in the business of this family. 



In this methodical and regular manner was the emi- 

 gration of our earlier German settlers conducted ; and in 



*We here present a copy of a reciept: "Philadelphia, 11, 

 7, 1712, Received of IMaria Warenbuer, twenty shillings sterl- 

 ing, for one year's quit-rent of two thousand acres of land, 

 laid out to her at Sirasburg, in this Province. 



JAMES LOGAN, Receiver:'
