Warranty Deed Survey Map of N. Brecknock Berks

The Lancaster Berks County Line is Green. The Brecknock Township lines are blue-green. John Loy's farm (Number 17) is bordered in red. The farm of Henry Shlappach and his wife (Number 20 though it is hard to see here), the christening sponsors for Maria Elizabetha, John's first child in 1751, is bordered in pink. Streams, including Muddy Creek, after which John's first church was named, are in blue.

The border between Spring Township and Brecknock Township directly to the north of the John Loy farm would appear to have changed slightly since the survey from about the middle of property 4 to the Cumru Township Border giving Brecknock a little more land.
