    2. Barb, The info on Seth McCormick is as follows; 10. Seth McCormick. An Irishman, occupied a cabin on South Creek, a branch of White Deer Hole creek, about a mile west of Swan's cabin. Seth died here on the 17th of January, 1835, in the 79th year of his age. His remains lie buried in the old Presbyterian, (now Lutheran) graveyard, at the "stone church," on the south west side of Penny Hill. He left a wife and nine children, and his descendents are still living here, and occupy a part of their great ancestors estate. 11. Thomas McCormick. An Irishman and brother of Seth's; occupied a cabin on South creek about half a mile from Seth's. He seems to have acted as Justice of the Peace for some years. He died on the 6th of October, 1826 aged 72 years, and his remains also lie buried in the old graveyard near the above "stone church." These bits were taken from the Article "White Deer Hole Valley", by J. F. Wolfinger that was in the Daily Lycoming Gazette & West Branch Bulliten on Sept 9, 1870 page 4. The article speaks of the fourteen original families that settled in the valley in 1787.
