HISTORICAL SKETCH) OF, NORTH
PENNSYLVA:NIA.
Dear Sir:—ln" attempting' to -give' a
few incidente4 connected with the early
settlement of our County,* it is nee
essary to refer to the charter by Charles .
IL otEngland e made in 1662 toConneet
cut.: !At that time them was great igno
rance in England as to the -,geography
of this. country, and the charter em
braced (but not in exprets terms) about
one degree of latitude being,:asitsubSe
qUently-appeared, from • about the 41st
to about the 42d degrees, and. extending
(hie west: te the Pacific, ocean. ' ' ‘Th ere

grant so made alllerritoriet then -in ae
tint( possession of the subjects of any
other - Christian prince or State," 'which
exception excluded the southeast part
of the State of ,New York, then in pos
session of the Dutch, and for which it
was 'specially intended: ' , :
In •1681,! being -nineteen years 'late?!
the same, king made a grant to-William
Penn of the lands contained in the prey-
Cut State of Pennsylvania, which, ex
tending to the 42d degree north latitude,
,caused an , "interference" in the two
charters of one degreeOf latitude. This
occasioned a dispute - between the two
proVineet (at 'they' were- then termed) .
which - .wat.,finally settled by Corn ru is-
Menem aPPointed by (lop gre_sii, at Treli-,1
ton - , -- ,Tir: ;r"-i.e.aliSagiving the Territery,
in dispute tO Pennsylvania. - -
In 1774 the section so in dispute !was
by a law of Connecticut and by the
name of " Westmoreland," (Watched
to Litchfield county 1n that State, of
which it was -considr a part, amt sub
sequently Col. joi) Franklin, of the
'present township' o Athens Bradford
county, represented, this part of Litch

'-Pan ' vas organi dd or incorporated,
by a law o hakbitate, of which it pur
chased:a large quatitit . lands in the
vicinity of the Susquehanna • , ex
tending -west , into and beyond TrOg,
county.' This company caused part of
thelands so bought to-be surveyed into
" towns," such as - Smithfield, Murrys
field, !Armenia, Cabot; &c. This 1110.,
named town-included , the present vill
age of, Austinville, and yet gives name
to the valley in which it is situated, he
ing now called " Cabot Hollow." A
. Notwithstanding the decree, or decis
ion made at Trenton, the - Susquehanna
cmnpany - alleged that could not in
terfere with vested rights, and - that they
had purchased of Connecticut while it
had jurisdiction do facto of the:country.
They therefore - caused the towns to he.
Surveyed into farms which they proceed
ed' tekoell to tilos& who 'were willing to
emigrate, and who constituted • the first
r Perma lent settlers in this part of time
State. ' Their right to the lands oil
.which they settled, was disputed by
:Penn ' ivania claimants,- which caused
- ii - eriou strife, and for many years re
tarde the growth of the settlements.
The Pennsylvania claimants dare net,
or '(lid 'not test; their title to the seated
lands in, dispute in any court of law.—
They seethed to be aware that (as in By
yon) "'Mammon wins hit way where
Seraph's might despair." ' The,agent of
the settlers became , suddenly convinced
that it
-would be better to make a com
proraisff, and they wore•induced to sign
a writing by which they placed them
selves in the power of the Pennsylva
inia land-holders. ,One man, Col-. Frank-
lin, - before named, refused to come to
any- arrangement, and no suit' was
brought against him. , • The debts arising
from-this compromise.were for a long'
thine an hichbus,. Upon the energies of
the inhabitantS, and ',I think are- not
yet fully Obliterated: ' -: • '
A:, few,incidents connected with those
troublous times Will. be here narrated :
About the beginning - . of the present
century (I have' not the 'exact - date)
Attlitir,Erwin, of Bucks county located
a land warrant from the State of Penn
sylvania, oda large tract ofland a little
,north - of •tho present village' of Athens.
Soon after having it surveyed he was
Sitting,in the log house of Ibis, relative,
Daniel MeDuffee ' on or near the land,
in the evening twilight,) to
MeDuffee : ;who ,was plaYing on a flute,
whanhe mit shot throughlthehead and
fell 4ead in tl.le:naidst of. the 'family,—
The perpretator of, the deed was never
discovered. ,
About' - 1803; the 'Penn's; claiManis
found or supposed. there • vasua legalne
cessity for- making or nishing some,
surveys forthwith to pert et . their title,,
- whiehtheConnectieUt - en, or " Yan
litees", as they were f teed, wore de
termined to prevent them from doing.
The . surveyors put, up at a house, near
. the Present village of Roseville, and the
first man Who' stepped out of the house,
the next morning I.was shot: at and
-severely, but not fatally wouirded. I
think his . na m e 7‘vas Richard -Li ow en.
Several pensons were prosecuted as, sus
picion', I. ? tie none convicted.' Onenf the'
•
men,so prosecuted lived at , the present
vijlage,of.Vast Smithfield, and had to
sell llis farm to pay the o.l,cpenso of thcz
suit. I subsequently 'bought: it and
now reside on it. In 1833 I was - at Rose.;
ville, and saw au aged gentleman whoin-7
fomed me that the Yankees intended-to
frighten the _surveyon...; . and ' selected
thelebest inarkattian who was to 'shoot
close to the first man who came out .of
the door, , but - not: to - hit . him—that
he Was somei intimidated and. hit; in
stead of missing him, its ho intended.
The surveyors went back to Susque
hanna county, but,ln a short time an-
ether
.party came on and Commenced
business. One morning . two of them
came in from the woods in great haste,
having been shot at, ,and" one of them
having a bullet hole through the "pack"
lio'had at the time on his back: , They
all returned' at once to the agent in
Susquehanna county, who heard their
stories and - an affidafit for them to sign
'and verify by their oaths, giving all •of
the.facts. One of them signed it,_but
thOsceond refused: He said that bing
afraid of the Yankees they had put tho'
pack on a log and one of them_ shot the
bullet through it to make au exhibit'of
the.dangerS to which they had been•ex-
I
posed.
About the 'year 1804 an agent of the
Pennla,elaimants was tarred and feath
ered by Yankees near the head waters
of Towanda Creek. An aged lady, then
a child, now living in Canton, assisted,
in washing the tar and feathers from his
head. As he knew some of the parties
ho had a bill of indictment against
them before a Grand Jury, at Will-,
itimspoyt.' One of the jury had furnish=
ea the jug to carry the tar. They put
the cost on the prosecutor. ,
A novel method of settling law. suits
may hero be given. A man living in
the present village of , Athens had the
Connecticut title to a lot of land near
there, and died; leaVing a widow and
a small family. A neighbor, having
the Penn'a title, thought it a good time
to obtain possession., and wept to plough
ing on the lot. The widow, hearing of
it, armed herself with a good f‘ raw
hide" riding whip, and coming sudden- -
ly behind him \applied it with great
emphasis across his hack .and shoulders.
He rushed towards her with great fury
on which she retreated, but ' with her
face to the foe." As often as lie return
edi to plowing she applied the whip till
he gave it up and• went home, amidst
the shouts and seolfs of the spectators
who bad assembled to witness "the,
law suit." In telling one of the trans•
action many-years afterwards - she said
she pitied him for he cried. She finally
held the land: •
The sumac woman lived in' a •house on
a lot for which a judgment in ejectinent
was obtained by default through some
fraud in the United States court at Phil
adelphia in favor of Charles Carrel, of
Maryland, claiming the Penn's title.
.The deputy marshal came to the tillage
in the evening with a vrit, - t disposses:•
her, and she was inforihed that she and
her family must leave the houfie the
next morning. She fastened all tbe
lower doors and windows, and ?i had a
i
large quantity of boiling water r flay to
pour from the chamber windows on Oa
deputy 'marshal and the agent f Mr.
Carrot (which agent WaS the hors whip
ped man above stated ) as they approfiel 1-
ed the house. ' , Her oldest daughter was
statiou9d below with a loaded rifle, to
shoot the firAt person who should break
into the house,. , The agent having had
sonic experience of her resolution dare
not proceed to extremities, and the writ
was not served. The judgment at the
next term of the court was set _isle, I
think -at the instance of Mr. Carrot,
who was ignorant' •of the - man ler in
which his name had been perverted. I

Mr. Morgan was a rich man and a
good man also. -His neighbors liked
him. The people of the town respected
him, chose him to offices, sent- him to
the Legislature, and never -undertook
any iniportalit work without asking .
advice. 11 a school-house was to be
built, the pin had to be talked over
with hint. When the new town-hall
vas pManned, the whole Matter wary put
te lish an ds. :Widow Partridge asked
him what she should plant in her field.
Farmer Parker alwayil g4t his advice in
buying cattle, and Mrs. Reid consulted
him about bringing bp her boys. Re-
workably successful man was Mr. Mor-
gan. . , ,
John Wood was a clever boy of fifteen.
He laid got through, what little school-

one day (Ivitli his mother,' he said: •
(i i
" I wohder tow it was that Mr, Mor
gan got as rie 1 and important as he is.
Don't I wish he would tell me how he
did it."
"Well, John," sitidMrs. Wood, "there
is nothing like asking him. Mr. Mor
gan will give a lad like you a good word,
I know, if you will only go to him." "
John' braced himself up and started
for Mr. Morgan's 'counting room. PY
found the merchant there and alone.
'Good morning, Master John," said he
in a pleasant voice. "Ciin I do any
thing for you?"
John stammered a little - at #fret,• but
he was a brave' fellow,. and bound to
succeed.
• "Weil, Mr. Morgan, lam going tothe
city to try for myself. !I-want to be a -
merchant.„ and get rich, and help father
and mother one, of these days ;and they
will give me my time. Mother said I
might come, in and ask you if you
would - telt me how you became 8 - 6 - sub-1

Mr. Morgan vas pleased with John's
honest way and frank question; After
telling hint that lie 'w s glad he had' so
much energy,"and tha if he kept out of
had company and att nded closely to
his work, whatever it VAS, he could not -
fail, Mr. Morgan said :1 .

"As for my success, ohnl-Will tell
you bow it was: One day when - I was
a lad- a party of boys and girls were'go- _
ing to a distant pasture to pick whortle-
berries. I wanted to go with thorn, was - ,e- 1
very learrul my father would not let me
I go, and scarcely dared to ask' him until _
the time came and a dozen boys and
'girls gathered at our door. • Then I told
my father what was going on, and at
once lie gave me his permission to go
wit li them. I could hardly-contain my- •
self with joy, and rushed into the kitch
en and got a big basket and• asked •mo
titer for a luncheon. I had the-basket
on my arm and was justgoing out of the
gate when my father called me b.ck.--,
My head dropped and-my heart tailed,
for I was afraid he would tell me I could
not go. I went back' trembling. ,Ikly
father took hold of "my hand gently and
thinly, and said, in a very gentle voice,
`JoL•evil, witat are you going for, 'to pick •
berries or to. play `2"To pick berries,' I
replied. `Then, Joseph, I want fo'tell
you one thing. It is this.. When you

"I went with the party and we had a -

Otie place, they rambled over the whole_
past are, got very fired, and at night had
but a very few berries. -My father's
words kept strangely ringing in may
ears, and I stuck.to my hush. When .1
had eletutect oil' one, I found another
and finished that; then I took another.

well, I did not leave it and spend weeks '
and months in finding one a little , bit
better. When tither yoking - men said,
'Come with nslind we will make a. for

and stuck to my bush. Presently my
employers offered to take me into bus

I had everything I wanted. The ha,bit

Tohtt heard , Mr, Morgan's story •with
the deepest interest. He thought he
understood the whole secret of. success,
mrd . resolved that he .would stick to his
bush as soon as he could find a bush to
stick to. He thanked Mr. Morgan for -
his kindness, and told him ho would :-
certainly adopt the motto for his own.
As he was going out •of the door Mr: -
Morgan called him back, and told him
that - he had dealings with a firm
,in the
city, who might possibly want a good
lad. He would write and ascertain.
