For a starter on General Philip Benner, "The History of Rock," by Myrtle Magargel. 1940. It is reported that 92 persons came with Philip Benner to what is now Centre County in 1792 from Chester County, PA. Conrad Rimmey kept a boarding house for the group until dwellings could be built for the group.

Seems like a good way to gain some insight into early Centre County where my g-g-g grandfather settled in 1802 ish. He worked for a Phillip Benner and Conrad Reamy in the Forges. His name was Casper Ross. Does anybody know of any books or registers, rosters of the early Forges in Pa? Also, could I ask, what ethnicities would have settled the area???
