I don't know about land records but for Meeting Houses, you might also check
Philadelphia and Bucks Cos. My ancestors, the Hilborns, Hootens and several
others were Quaker. Also check the Archives section on the Pennsylvania
section of Genweb-PA. Check by state and by county. Also, if your library
has a genealogy section, you might check on their Ancestry Plus. They have
Lancaster Co. History and Biographies and you might find more. Another
suggestion is to look for Peter Wise in the BYU Books Online. Or
FamilySearch.com online. Pat Morano
