Unusual record of a land transaction in Pennsylvania indicating the ancient custom of the State ownership of a portion of the silver and gold mined within the confines of the purchase. Transaction between Philip and Jacob Urich and the Commonwealth.
This deed is a record of the transfer of a property from the proprietor, William Penn, to a resident of Strasburg Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. After 1729 Strasburg Township was a part of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The new owner of the land was named Lefevre; however, there is no evidence that he was a gunsmith.
