'''Donation land in the Last Purchase treaty area''' was issued to veterans of the Pennsylvania Line in the Continental Army. Eligible veterans drew lots for a piece of land and then paid a small fee for their certificate. Most soldiers sold their title instead of settling on the land. The library has Pennsylvania, Surveyor General's Office, ''Donation Lands Records, 1780-1800.'' {{FHL|9688|item|FHL films 987058-66}}. For a printed list of names, see ''Pennsylvania Archives'', series 3, volume 7, pp. 659-795.
