Mark, Linn's History has been put online. You will find many interesting details about the early history of our county and the settlement of Philip Benner at Rock here: http://www.accessible.com/amcnty/PA/CentreClinton/Contents.htm In 2003 we published a history of Benner Township which contains much about the Benners and Rock. Copies may still be available. Check it out by contacting the township: http://benner.centreconnect.org/contact.htm Copies are on file in the library in Bellefonte, etc. Justin At 02:06 PM 1/1/2007, [email protected] wrote: >Hi Nancy, >Thanks for the information on Phillip Benner.

Just a question about accessible.com-- you have to subscribe to get other books, yet this one was available at the address given. How can we get access to the other books and printings listed without subscribing? Is this the one that a PA library card number offers access to? Or is that something else?
