  Samuel Dupui:

This 112-acre plot of land along the Bushkill Creek (where it feeds into the Delaware river), is immediately adjacent to the sawmill owned by James Hyndshaw.  The property is about ten miles upriver from the trading post.  The Cortracht name that appears as a neighbor might refer to the individual cited in the ledger as Johannes Courtwright.   Warrant date: 24 May, 1742; survey date: 6 May, 1743.
