Transcription Notes:
There's a Felgate's creek in York County. Perhaps Philguts is a misspelling? Dawls swamp is probably Dahl swamp ----------------- To previous transcriber--Please do not put rows of dashes and pipes between rows of the table. One line of pipes and dashes is placed after the header row, and that is all. In order for the table to render properly in Markdown, there can be nothing between rows-not even blank rows. ------------ Note that the very last line has no property owner or description, but there is information in two of the columns. Transcribed as originally written.
