Early land records for Carr/Kerr that are found in Pennsylvania. Some of these dates
could be the date that the person they bought the land from got the land and the Carr/Kerr
bought it later. I should also note here that there are names that are misspelled. The
surname Calbraith shows up on these lists and later, and in other records, I find
Galbraith. There are probably many mistakes in the translation of these records in the
spellings of the names.

They and others are listed in both Warrantee and Patentee lists. At the above link, click
'Land Records' listed under 'Research'. From there you can chose from
Warrantee or Pantentee. Check under both as some may be listed in only one listing.
There are a lot of pages and they are in 'pdf' format.
