PIONEER LAND TITLES.

The Joseph Johns and Peter Levergood titles include all the land in the First, Second, Third and Fourth wards of the city of Johnstown, and the greater part of the Ninth and Tenth wards, and a small portion of the Thirteenth, and by the Henry Wise survey include the Twelfth and Thirteenth wards. After the Fort Stanwix treaty the commonwealth opened the land in that purchase to settlers, and fixed the third day of April, 1769, as the date when applications could be filed. On that day Charles Campbell, grandfather of the late Joseph H. Campbell, took out a warrant for the land lying between the two rivers, and part of the Thirteenth ward, containing 249 acres, with six per cent additional for roads. On February 1, 1780, he sold it to James Wilkins, who on October 31, 1781, conveyed it to John Johnston. On September 24, 1782, Johnston sold the warrant

to James McLanahan, incorrectly written "McClenahan," for fifty pounds, colonial currency. The commonwealth granted a patent to McLanahan on April 26, 1783, on the Campbell warrant. On September 30, 1793, he sold it to Joseph Johns. On November 4, 1800, Johns laid out the town of Conemaugh, which included all the lots west of Franklin street, as has been noted elsewhere. Mr. Johns sold several lots before, disposing of his holding in bulk. The lot on the southeast corner of Main and Walnut streets, lately partly occupied by Mrs. Ann Morley, and the lot on the southwest corner, each of them having a frontage of 66 feet on Main and extending back 264 feet to Sycamore alley, now known as Lincoln street, were sold to James Brown for $20 each, in January, 1803. The Griffith and Barry lot adjoining that of Mrs. Morley was sold for $10, because it was not on a corner. The lot on the corner of Main and Park place, 66 by 264 feet, now occupied by Mrs. Webster B. Lowman, John Fulton, W. B. Tice, the Grand Army hall, and W. C. Lewis, was sold for $10. The four lots-45, 46, 47 and 48-between Franklin and Park place on the south side of Main street, extending back to Lincoln street, were sold for less than $150. The square is now known as the Bank Corner.

On May 2, 1807, Johns sold the remaining plotted lots and other land in the Campbell and Henry Wise surveys to John Anderson and William Harley of Bedford, and on March 30, 1808, they conveyed the same to John Holliday, of Hollidaysburg. On June 21, 1811, Holliday sold the entire interest to Peter Levergood, and August 26, 1813, Peter Levergood and Susanna, his wife, conveyed it to Thomas Burrell, George Brenheiser, Sr., and George Brenheiser, Jr., for $12,583.33, and gave a mortgage for the larger portion of the consideration. On November 2, 1816, Burrell and the Brenheisers sold about three acres of that part of the Third ward lying between Clinton and Franklin streets, from Cover's alley to Washington street, with the exception of a few lots otherwise disposed of, to Adam Cover, the father of the late William Cover. The mortgage was foreclosed, as the purchasers had failed, and Peter Levergood bought it back at sheriff's sale, his deed being given by John Murray, sheriff, bearing date of March 3, 1818. About 1828, Levergood and Cover laid out their holdings east of Franklin street to Clinton, and subsequently plotted the lots in the Ninth and Tenth wards.

The corner at Main and Bedford streets, now known as
