Request for a lookup in the book "Pennsylvania Gunmakers (A Collection)"

If someone has the 1984 book "Pennsylvania Gunmakers (A Collection)" by Chandler & Whisker, could you let me know what the book says about the gunsmith Philip Bortner?
Regards,
Lannie Dietle

In Arms Makers of Pa, Whisker cites a tax list , "Bortner, Philip, gunsmith, 1814, Ayr Twp, Bedford Co. .... Noble & Moore cite Whisker unpublished with "Bortner, Phillip, Fulton Co. Pa. 1817. I hope this helps a bit. OLUT

FWIW, I figured out where Peter Bortner moved after leaving Bedford County. Here's my study:

Lannie,
"Pennsylvania Gunmakers (A Collection)" by Chandler & Whisker, 1984.
One entry for Philip Bortner:
Bortner, Philp: 1814 Ayr Twp., Bedford Co., now Fulton Co.
