Van Zelm | NOW LITTLE CHULLENS LOVE OME ANOTHER. / | ee TTT TART (Continued From Last Week) As previously remarked, the country about’ Dallas was very rapidly filled vith settlers just after the close of the war of 1812. It was regarded as the ontier country to those living farther east in New Jersey and Connecticut, as Ohio, Indiana and California soon after became in the minds of the people of this region. Aaron Duffee was one of the ex- soldier settlers. In 1813 he appeared first in that country. He settitd and | uilt a house on the Amos Wickersham rrant, near and northeast of the ‘point where the main road from Dallas to Kunkle crosses Chestnut hill or ace hill ridge. Though an Irishman )y birth, Duffee was a most aggressive and uncompromising Methodist preacher. He preached about the _ neighborhood in private houses and barns, and later, after its erection, in the log school house. ~~ That was an age of distilleries and liguor drinking. There were very few people then, in that region, who did not havt whiskey in the house at all times. About the year 1823 Peter ‘Roushey, a tailor by trade, living near ~ the road at the upper or northwest corner of lot number one of certified Bedford township, near late residence "Enoch Reily, undertook to sell liguor by the “smalle” or drink. There had probably been difficulty before, but this enraged Duffee, and he prose- cuted Roushey. To beat him and get id of him, Roushey took out a tavern license. This was in the year 1923, and was the first tavern license taken out Dallas township. It was not re- wed next year, and there was no other license taken out in that town- ship until one was taken out by Jacob Meyers in 1837. Since 1937 a hotel has ‘been continuously kept in Dallas. “About 1912-18 William Honeywell moved from New Jersey and bought «and settled on a portion of the Edward Duffield tract, near where the farm of better. Noxen and daughter, Mabel, called on Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sickler recently. and Robert, of Parsons, spent Friday his grandson, William J. Honeywell, now is, also part of the same land now . occupied by the Dallas Union Agricul- ‘tural Society for a fair ground and racing track. For much of the infor- “mation that I have concerning that period I am indebted to Abram § Honeywell, Esq., son of William Honeywell, who is still living (Septem- ber 5, 1885) and very active at the age of ninety-five years. Mr. Honeywell's narrative in connection with his father’s moving to Dallas is very in- teresting, and I give it in his own words as he gave it to ':me on the 19th da yof September, 1885, at the house “of his son, William J. Honeywell, in Dallas. : “I have a very distinct recollection of many things that occurred about the time my father moved into this country (Dallas). I cannot give the year, exactly, that we came, but it was in the spring. My father had been out “here the fall before and had bought a large body of land, part of lot one cer- tified Bedford (this deed is dated Sep- tember 20th, 18813, and the deed for part of Edward Duffitld tract is dated November 3, 1884, but the purchases “may have been contracted for before either of those dates), and we moved in the next Spring. We came from Nolton (Knowlton) township, near reenshurg, Warren county, New Jer- . Many of the early settlers of Dallas came from there. The town- “ ship of Dallas had not yet been cut off ~ from Kingston and Plymouth town- The ships, from which it was taken. first petition for the new township was filed October sessions, 1814, and the court appointed Oliver Pettebone, Charles Chapman and Josiah Lewis viewers, but they mever made any re- rn or report of any kind to the court. here were five families who came in m New Jersey when we did. Widow Sweezy and her son, Thomas Sweezy, bout my age( were in the party. We drove our teams and wagons all the way. We first came down to Wilkes- Barre and expected to cross there and ‘come up to Dallas through the nar- rows and along Toby's Creek by the way of Trucksville, but the water was so high in the river that Spring that we could not get over, and we had to go back to Pittston to cross. After crossing at Pittston we came down to New Troy (Wyoming) and came up "along the creek (Abraham's) that cuts through the mountain at that point, and on through the woods to the place _ where father had bought and intended to settle. There was no road at all, and we had to cut our way through the ~ woods for the whole distance. It was a dreadful hard job and it took us about five days to get through. We had brought our cows, sheep and hogs : us, and it was almost impossible to get them through the woods and across the streams. The water in the ek were very high, and, of course; : 0 bridges, so we had to —-Kunkle- Creston Gallup, who was struck in the foot by a large hay fork when it broke loose and came down, is in- proving rapidly.

My father’s name was Villiam Honeywell, and we settled almost exactly on the spot where. stood the house lately occupied by Enoch Reily It was on the upper end of lot one certified Bedford. There were only four or five houses within the territory of present Dallas town- ship at that time. Ephraim McCoy lived there then on the lower side of the present road, about half way be- tween the Goss or corner school house and Raub’s hotel There was also a man by the name of VanScoy living hack of us somewhere, about where Ferdinand Ferrell lives. Elam and Daniel Spencer each had a little log house in the present village of Dal- las. When we arrived our house was not yet done. My father had hired a man the fall before to build it and have it ready by a certain time when we should arrive. We had to all turn in and help finish it. Just back of this house there was a small clearing when we went there and on it stood the ruins of an old log hut. This clearing was old, for the gjround had been planted until it was quite run all and carty the sheep and { est was very dense ooked most down. I don’t know who cleared it or who ever lived there. } gl ~~ (Continued Nex Mrs. Emma Ide spent an afternoon with friends at Idetown recently.
