----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Since you have now defined your interest in the colonial surveys, I would recommend that you take a trip to some county courthouse with jurisdiction over the land area of your research. If you trace the property conveyances all the way back, you may find exactly what you are looking for. Since Surveyor's have used boulders for over three thousand years as boundary markers, you are likely to find references to them in the old metes and bounds descriptions in the courthouse.
