INTRODUCTION

The plats and surveys on this page were extracted from the Book 25 { B }, Plats and Surveys, 2nd Surveyors District, 1808. There are 414 surveys in that book. Of that number, 35 can be identified as being of older and greater Warren County. The small Plat graphics were made from photocopies which were made from the microfilm of the original Plats. Hence the generally poor quality of the graphics. Original spelling and punctuation were closely followed in this transcription.
