Jan This may help. PINCKNEY1 -- was formed from Harrisburgh and "Harrison," (now Rodman, Jefferson co.) February 12, 1808. It lies upon the highlands in the N. W. corner of the co., and has an average elevation of 1300 ft. above tide. It forms the watershed between Deer River and Sandy Creek, the head branches of which constitute the principal streams. A series of swamps extend along the E. border. In the town are several mineral springs, one of which has acquired considerable local notoriety for its medicinal qualities. The soil is a light, slaty loam upon the hills, and a deep black laom in the valleys. Pinckney, New Boston, Barnes Corners, and Cronks Corners are p. offices. Settlement was commenced in 1804, under Abel French, agent of Mr. Henderson.2 The first church (Bap.) was formed in 1810. There are now 4 churches in town.3 Ron >From: NYLEWIS-D-request@rootsweb.com >Reply-To: NYLEWIS-L@rootsweb.com >To: NYLEWIS-D@rootsweb.com >Subject: NYLEWIS-D Digest V03 #55 >Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2003 08:30:09 -0600 > ><< message2.txt >> ><< message4.txt >> _________________________________________________________________ Enjoy MSN 8 patented spam control and more with MSN 8 Dial-up Internet Service.
