Friday Finds: Adam HACKER’s Land Warrant

Johan Adam Hacker's Land Warrant

This is the land warrant for one of Adam HACKER’s properties in Cocalico township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. I originally found it at the Lancaster County Courthouse, but you can also find the warrant indices and copied Warrant book online at the Pennsylvania State Arcives website.

I also found records for George HACKER, Adam’s brother; Martin WEIDMAN, Adam and George’s father-in-law; and Lawrence HOUSEHOLDER, Adam and George’s brother-in-law, in Lancaster county. In Fayette county, I found records for Andrew HOOVER, Jacob HOOVER, and George HOOVER, sons of Andrew HOOVER Sr.; and William KERNS, George HOOVER’s son-in-law. Armstrong county records yielded the warrants for Christian and Philip HOOVER, son and grandson of George HOOVER.
