EXCERPTS FROM
THE HISTORY OF DALLAS
By WILLIAM PENN RYMAN
INSTALLMENT THREE
Ephraim McCoy settled, made a small clearing,
and built a house in the year 1797 on the lower
side of the present road, about half way between
Raub’s Hotel in Dallas Borough and the “Corner
School House”, near present residence of William
Goss. This house, like all the houses of that region
at that time, was built of logs, and was but little
better than a hunter’s cabin. McCoy was the ori-
ginal grantee from the State of the northwest quar-
ter of Lot Two of Certified Bedford Township.
He was a Revolutionary soldier, and was lame"
from a wound received in battle. He was unable
to do much and drew a pension. He cleared a
small spot when he first settled there, but in later
years worked but little, spending much of his time
fishing at Harvey's Lake, which was a famous hunt-
ing and fishing resort. McCoy said it was still
visited by Indians and he frequently saw them pass-
ing by a trail through the woods where Dallas now
stands, to and from the lake.
Abram Honeywell informs me that he remembers
McCoy well, and says that when McCoy died the
nearest burying grounds was at Huntsville, and
I there being no drivable roads yet opened between
Dallas and Huntsville, McCoy's body was carried
by the pallbearers about two miles to the Hunts
ville burying ground for interment. I give this inci-
dent as it was related to me by Mr. Honeywell, but
it is proper to state that McCoy sold his Dallas
land in 1817, and is noted in the first assessment
book of the newly organized Dallas Township, 1818)
as having “removed” and his name does not appear
thereafter as a taxpaper of Dallas Township. This
may be the date of his death. He left no kin and
but little can be learned of him. There is no
tombstone to mark his grave at Huntsville.
William Trucks, a Connecticut Yankee, in 1801
bought of Daniel Barney of Wilkes-Barre, the Con-
necticut title to lot three of certified Bedford with
a warrant against all persons claiming the same by
any title derived from, by, or under the State of
Connecticut or the Susquehanna Company. Will-
iam Trucks, Jr., afterwards completed the title by
securing a patent from the Commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania. It is on this lot three of certified Bedford
that nearly all of the present village and much of
the borough of Dallas now stands. William
Trucks, however, though a pioneer, did not go so
far into the wilderness from the settlements of
Wyoming Valley. He did not venture beyond
the banks of Toby's Creek, the village of Trucks-
ville, which took its name in his honor.
As early as 1796 he was a resident of Kingston
Township and the owner of 36 acres of “occupied”
and and 208 acres of “unoccupied” land, one horse
and two cattle. He was by occupation a carpen-
ter and millwright. In 1804 his holdings were 13
acres of unimproved land and three cattle. In 1800
Benjamin Carpenter, Oliver Pettebone and Wil-
liam Trucks were appointed as committee, “by the
proprietors of Kingston, for the purpose of leasing
the public lands in said town to William Trucks”,
Seventy acres were thus leased for a term of 999
years. The lease was dated 4th April, 1800.
In 1813 William Trucks, Jr., conveyed all of lot
three of certified Bedford to Philip Shaver.
In the year 1807 we find him, for the first time,
assessed as owned of a grist mill and a saw m#
These mills were at Trucksville. The grist mill
must have been built at an earlier date, however,
as we find it mentioned in a petition for a road
view as early as 1804. It was built of logs, two
stories high, and stood on the same ground now oc-
cupied by the present steam grist mill in that vil-
lage. It had but one pair of mill stones, and they
were made from a large boulder of conglomerate
rock, known as “flat iron rock”, which used to
stand by the road side opposite the old John Gore
saw mill that formerly stood a quarter of a mile
above the present toll gate of the Kingston and
Dallas turnpike. These mill stones were cut out
and set by Mr. Trucks himself. At this mill the
grain was first run through the stones and ground.
It was caught in bags below and carried upstairs
again by hand, where it was thrown into a hopper
and shaken by hand through a coarse cloth and
thus bolted.
The saw mill was erected by Mr. Trucks about
the same time, possibly a year or two later. It
stood against the steep rock hillside, about four
rods above the stone mill dam, which now stands
at the point where the Kingston and Dallas turn-
pike crosses Toby's Creek in the lower end of the
village of Trucksville. Those mills and the William
Trucks settlement at that point were very impor-
tant improvements in the early part of this century.
It was the first foothold of settlement and civili-
zation on that side of Kingston Mountain. Wil-
liam Trucks built substantially as if he intended to
stay and develop the country. The house in which
he lived was built of logs, hewn on four sides, and
stood on the flat ground where the store building
late occupied by J. P. Rice, Esq., and now by Wil-
liam Patterson, Esq., stands, about four or five rods
below the present grist mill. This house had two
rooms down stairs. The chimney was built in the
center and had two fire places. It was warm and
strong. i
In 1809 William Trucks was commissioned jus-
tice of the peace by Governor Snyder, for Ply-
mouth, Kingston and Exeter townships. In 1811
he sold his mills to Joseph Sweatland, who soon
afterwards added a distillery to the grist mill. The
same year William Trucks moved to Wayne Town-
ship, where he spent the balance of his days, leav-
ing powers of attorney with his son, William
Trucks, Jr., and his friend, Daniel Ayers of Ply-
mouth, to dispose of the balance of his interests
in Luzerne County.
In 1814 Jacob Rice purchased part of the Trucks
improvement from the Sweatland family and set
tled at Trucksville. The distillery was distasteful
to Mr. Rice and soon disappeared.
