>Does anyone know anything about Iroquois Indians living in Armstrong Co. in >the early 1800's? I've jus been told by a cousin that my husband's great >great grandmother, Jane Nolder, was a full-blooded Iroquois. I suspect that >it was Jane's mother who was the Iroquois since Nolder is obviously not an >Indian name. Jane's daughter, Nancy Jane McGuire, was born in Freeport and >there were Nolders on the 1820 and 1830 census in Plum Creek Twp. Does anyone >know if Freeport is in Plum Creek twp? Susan Plum Creek Twp is on the other side of Armstrong County. The main settlements in Plum Creek Twp are Elderton and Whitesburg. There was an area nearby that was well known as an Indian settlement, Shelocta, adjacent to Elderton. Elterton and Shelocta are on either side of the Indiana - Armstrong Co border. According to my sister's husband's Sharp family history, Shelocta was known as Sharp's Mill at one time. Fred Held
