the Susquehanna and also wrote of the early days in Pine Creek Twp. possibly
printed in his brothers paper. Have no other history to date.
from 'History of Clinton County, PA' by Linn pg. 652 - Linn begins
'The following sketch of the township is from the pen of John Hamilto n,Esq:
Description, Warrants, Bridges, Roads, Etc.'Most of the thickly settl edand
best cultivated townships of this county were not settled until afte rtheir
territory was purchased from the Indians in 1768. It was not so wit hPine
Creek. Its beautiful and rich bottom lands were tempting, and few o fthem were
not entered upon by settlers and claims marked out in violation of la wand
treaties with the Indians. Generally some trifling contract was mad ewith the
Indians. The 'fair play' system was one of rigid natural justice, though the
settlers who enforced it were in a sense outlaws.
'Our township has an extent of fine miles on the river, north sid e,from
Pine Creek to Chatham's Run. This whole extent, as far as I am abl e to
ascertain, was settled upon, under claims of three and four hundred acres,
before it was purchased from the Indians, previous to the Revolutio n andthe
Big Runaway in 1778. It was purchased as the treaty of peace Oct. 23 ,1784,
and most of the warrants were laid in 1785, under the claim of the fi rst
settlers, the State honoring and securing their claims, on account o fthe noble
stand made by them in defense of the country against Great Britian an dher
allies, the Indians.
'The first settlers who got back after the was settled on their
improvements and took out warrants. I have no evidence that Donaldso ngot
back, who settled on what has gone by the name of the Duncan farm, no wowned in
part by R. Smith and Crawford.
'Kincaid did not get back. Alexander Hamilton did not return , - hewas
killed by the Indians near Northumberland. His family returned, how everand
took out a warrant for his improvement. An eagerness to get possessionof land
showed itself in strong colors. Not only were the best bottom landsecured,
but surveys were made of the greater portion of the hill lands in 1785.Some
hill land was taken up and surveyed in 1792 and 1794.
'The first warrants along the river were laid in the names asfollows,
beginning at Chatham's Run and down the river; John Chatham, on Chatham'sRun;
next below, Col. William Cook, now Condon; then Jane Richard, now Hulingand
Betts; then McFadden, now McGuire and Brown; then John Jackson, nowFerguson
and McKinney; then Hamilton's heris, now Hamiltons and Shaw; next theDuncan
farm, settled on before the was by Alexander Duncan, now owned chiefly by
Crawford and Smith...
'The first settlers were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, not only thoseof Pine
Creek, but of the West Branch generally. They did not think of making
settlements without sustaining the gospel and schools among them...Theearly
teachers were Irish. They used the rod. They were generally old men ,and not
notwithstanding the rod, they had michevious scholars. Reading, Writing,and
arithmetic were the branches taught. Surveying was as thoroughly taughtthen
as now...Grammar was not thought of until the 'Yankees' began to comeamong us
as teachers...The Assembly's Shorter Catechism was taught to everyscholar.
