    3. Jenny, I remember seeing a book or 2 on county histories of the area that are in public domain, but due to current reprintings, they weren't available to read. It's been a few years since I've looked, however, so maybe there are newer uploads available. Perhaps general histories of PA might have something? I also had a hard time finding anything online regarding the Pennamite Wars (1769 & 1784, more like an angry altercations between the Yankees and the Pennsylvanians) and never did find anything very enlightening. But it's been a while since I looked. * The Susquehanna Company records, along with lots of other mentions of the company, are online & download-able through the Pennsylvania Archives database - free at Footnote, though you need to register. Many of the 800+ proprietors are named, if not all. Read from the beginning as the list kept growing and some proprietors sold their shares. Joseph Skinner, mentioned early on before he was murdered, is a GF. Also see: * http://www.cslib.org/susqsettlers.htm  - backgound, a bibliography, and be sure to follow the links for lists of the settlers * http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0813514940/ref=cap_pdp_dp_2/184-9424682-6044329 - I haven't read this book, but it supposedly has info on dealings between the Leni Lenape ("Delawares") and the Susquehanna Company * The O'toole's Johnson biography has something about the situation as Sir William attempted an arbitration between PA, CT, and the Iroquois Confederacy. * http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/mg/mg344.htm  - archived records Is your summer beach reading settled on now? --- On Sat, 6/12/10, Jenny Inskeep <jenny.inskeep@cox.net> wrote: ...any reading in particular on those Ct Yankees and the Wyoming Valley?
