Deed from Christopher Soniticher to Samuel Meek for 10 Acres of land on Ten
Mile Creek within Washington County, Pennsylvania. The Jacob
Shidler mentioned in the deed, owned land on Daniels Run, so it is thought
that the land described in this deed is near East
Marianna, in West Bethlemen Twp., where Dianels Run flows into Tenmile
Creek. Part of the creek can
be seen on this TopoZone
map, although it is not known for certain exactly where the Meek land was
located. A transcription
