These loose papers involving land disputes are mostly in chronological order. They can contain valuable genealogical and historical information. There is no index to these records, but some of the documents have been extracted in Pennsylvania Archives (see [[Pennsylvania Genealogy|Pennsylvania Genealogy]]), series 3, vols. 1. (1681-1739, 1765-1791) and 2 (1792-1795). There are documents on the films that are not in the books and visa-versa, so both books and films should be used together. The indexes in the books may be used to access the records on the films with a little bit of searching. For example, finding a name in the book index may lead to records in the films covering the same time period. The books contain mistakes. | Pennsylvania. Board of Property.

A published source that lists the names of many early settlers is ''Early Pennsylvania Land Records: Minutes of The Board of Property ''(Baltimore, Maryland.: Genealogical Publishing, 1976; Family History Library [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlehitlist&columns=*%2C0%2C0&callno=974.8+A39p book 974.8 A39p], ser. 2 vol. 19).

In addition, there is Pennsylvania, Board of Property, ''Board of Property Petitions, Undated and 1682-1815'' (Family History Library films [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=8587&disp=Board+of+Property+petitions%2C+undated%2%20%20&columns=*,0,0 988269]-73). These and the Board of Property records above can be some of the most valuable land records available for providing family history information. Because of the way land was distributed in Pennsylvania, there were many opportunities for disputes. | In addition, there is Pennsylvania, Board of Property, ''Board of Property Petitions, Undated and 1682-1815'' (Family History Library films [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=8587&disp=Board+of+Property+petitions%2C+undated%2%20%20&columns=*,0,0 988269]-73).
