The individ. who paid their private fortunes into the provisional commonwealth gov¿t. were taking financial risk & demonstrating real courage in their patriotism, for the land they were purchasing had been confiscated in 1779 from the Penn family proprietors of PA, who objected & asserted their continuing property rights.

The land would have reverted to the Penn family & the Amer. purchase money lost. Includes street locations .
