      Unfortunately, the last time when I visited the Court House in Fayette
County, they were going through some type of reorganization and a number of
the old record books were laying haphazardly in a room on the second floor,
and I was allowed to go through them.  The main purpose at the time was to
seek out the relationship of a Levi Showalter to Ulrich.  I took down in
detail the information of Deed Book 2, p. 252-254 whuch was recorded July
30, 1844.  The deed gives the history of the land grant "Cool Spring" on
Yorks Run in Georges Township, and the adjacent land "Beautiful Meadow" from
its first grantee Jonathan Resse through his daughter Lydia, intermarried to
Samuel Rainey, who sold it to Ulrich Showalter, Deed Book H 48 & 48, on
January 13, 1807.  Unfortunately, I did not take down as detailed
information on the two deeds that Ulrich conveyed this land to his son John.
The first was dated 31 Aug. 1810, 61 acres and the second was dated 13 Dece.
1816, 66 acres.  I was able to see both deeds, but the books were in
miserable condition, so I did not get a photographic copy. The latter deed
was recorded in January 1817.  If you write to the Court House at Uniontown,
Fayette Co., PA., maybe they are better organized, and they may be able to
photograph the deed in question.
