Washington County, Pennsylvania Intestate Records 1789-1806

Washington County, Pennsylvania Intestate Records 1789-1806 JANE M. FULCHER AND RAYMOND MARTIN BELL, F.A.G.S. R ECENTLY THE "LONG LOST' early administration bonds for Washington County were found in the Washington County courthouse. A summary is given below for the period 1789-1806. The bound administration bond books begin with the listing of John Machan dated 20 December 1806. These records are published for the first time. The wills for Washington County 1781-1811, were printed in Volume VI, (1916), 135-180, of this magazine. The Intestate records of 1781-1789, were printed in Volume XXX, (1977), 45-54. As a result of this discovery of the early bonds, a study of the tax lists and a comparison with wills, indicates that the tax lists for Washington County printed in the Pennsylvania Archives, Series III, Volume XXII, and headed "1781", should have carried the date "1784".
