EXCERPTS FROM
THE HISTORY
OF LUZERNE COUNTY
By H. C. BRADSBY
(Readers will enjoy Mr. Bradsby’s quaint,
paranthetical remarks more if they keep in
mind that he was writing this history of
Luzerne County forty-five years ago, and
refers to conditions as he knew them, not
as they are in 1938.) —EDITOR
The first Connecticut settlers arrived in 1762.
The first real immigrants who came to make homes
and till the soil, just who they were, how many and
where in points in that state they came from is
not fully known.
They made small clearings, sowed and planted
grain and returned for their families and came here
the next spring, bringing probably their worldly
possessions. They settled near the Indian village
of Maughwawame (Wyoming), in the flats below
Wilkes-Barre, but nearer the river than the In-

The season had been favorable, and the wheat
sown the previous fall had grown well. October
115, following the settlement was attacked without
warning by the savages. About twenty of the men
were killed and scalped; the residue, men, women
3 children, fled to the mountains.
| The Pennsylvania Gazette of November, 1763,
{ published the following extract from a letter sent
|from Lancaster County dated October 23. “Our
party, under Capt. Clayton, has returned from
Wyoming, where they met with no Indians, but
found the New Englanders who had been killed
and scalped a day or two before they got there. They
buried the dead, nine men and a woman, who had
been cruelly butchered—the woman was roasted...
....They burnt what houses the Indians had left and
destroyed a quantity of Indian corn. The enemys
tracks were up the river toward Wighaloasing.”
(Wyalusing).
As the Indians started up the river after the
| massacre, they came upon John and Emmanuel
Hoover, building a chimney to a cabin on the flats,
and made prisoners of them. They already had
another white man prisoner.
taken to where is Geneva, where John Hoover and
the other prisoners (names not known), attempted
to escape. The latter, it is said, succeeded in mak-
ing his way to Shamokin. John Hoover's remains
were afterward found in the woods where he had
perished.
The prisoners were
Col. Stone, in his history of Wyoming, gives
a graphic account of the narrow escape and suffer-
ing of Noah Hopkins, a wealthy man from Dutch-
ess County, N. Y., who had come to the valley as
a purchaser of lands of the Susquehanna Company.
After capturing the Hoovers the Indians pursued
him, but he hid in a hollow log, the account says,
and after remaining there as long as nature could
‘endure and darkness had come he carefully ven-
tured out and began his wandering in the wilder

Five days after the massacre he carefully stole
‘to the place of the settlement, and says: “All was

the
| things visible........ The stillness of death gprevailed.”
He found, he

The man was nearly famished.
This visitation of horrors upon the first set-
tlers, it was said and for a time believed but is
not now, was inflicted by the Delaware Indians
upon the whites, as revenge for the killing of Chief
Teedeuscung. The truth seems to be that it was
the work of the Six Nations and not the Dela-
wares at all, and was a part of their policy to ex-
terminate or drive off the whites from the Susque-
hanna.
It is stated above on the authority of Charles
Miner that it is not known who the settlers were,
that is“their names, who had returned here in the
year 1763, and were the settlement when the mas-
sacre occured. However, Stewart Pearce, in his
“Annals of Luzerne County,” published in 1866,
gives fifty-eight names of the 117 persons who set-
tled in Wyoming in 1763.
