In 1803 Connoquenessing Twp. was much bigger than the current Connoquenessing Twp. It included the entire western third of the county south of an east-west line drawn from the northern corner of the western boundary of the County. In regards to the current townships, this area includes all of Cranberry, Jackson, Lancaster and Muddy Creek Townships, portions of Connoquenessing, Adams, Brady, Forward, Franklin, and Worth Townships, the Boroughs of Evans City, Harmony, Mars, Portersville, Prospect and Zelienople, and parts of the Boroughs of Connoquenessing and West Liberty.
This information is from pages 50 through 54 of the 1895 Butler County History. This source also includes the number of cows/oxen/horses owned, the valuation, and the amount of the tax, but since this information seemed of limited usefulness to genealogists, it has not been transcribed.
