During the year 1794, William Dick, William Gill, Thomas Ray, William Jones, Thomas Rallyea and others, some of them with their families, arrived at the settlement. The Meads, Randolphs, Van Hornes, Lords, and a few others had arrived previously. On the 10th of August of this year an event occurred which will cause the name of James Dickson always to be associated with the early history of our city. For some time there had been rumors of an Indian attack. It had been stated that the Cornplanter Indians had threatened to drive the settlers from French Creek, if they were not at once removed by the government. On the day named Mr. Dickson was walking out north of the town with his gun in hand, for in those days no one went into the woods unarmed. He had reached a point near the intersection of Spring street and Terrace, a short distance south of Athens' Mills, when he heard a sound which he supposed to be made by a deer. He stood still for an instant, thus making himself an easy mark, and heard three shots fired simultaneously by as many Indians. Each bullet struck him--one passed through his left hand, splitting the little finger from the others. A second struck him in the breast, and lodged between the breast bone and shoulder blade, where it ever afterward remained. The third shot took effect in the left hip and lamed him slightly. Instinctively Mr. Dickson brought his gun to his shoulder and prepared to fire, but no enemy was to be seen. All that appeared was a rifle pointed at him, and knowing that there must be a head behind it, he took aim along the barrel. But before he could fire the rifle was discharged; the bullet cut his cap, but did not touch him. This roused his Scotch blood, and he called to the savages, "Come out, ye cowards, and give me fair play!" Two showed themselves, running from tree to tree, till one was on each side of him. Mr. Dickson was about to seek the shelter of a tree, when it occurred to him that he was surrounded, and that as the guns of his enemies were empty, he must act promptly. Accordingly he pointed his gun toward the Indian who was between him and the fort, and he drove him from his shelter. Then with his finger on the trigger, and walking backward, he kept the Indians in check till he reached Samuel Lord's log cabin, near the present residence of William Reynolds. By this thime one of his pursuers had reloaded, and another shot wa fired at him, but he was not again struck. The Indians then bounded out of sight, going down towards the creek. The wounded man made his way as rapidly as possible towards the block house. When near the location of Red Mill he met Samuel Lord, John Wentworth, Luke Hill and a friendly Indian named Flying Cloud, going out to his relief. They passed on and followed the trail of the attacking party across the creek, but owing to the thickness of the underbrush on the other side, they did not think it prudent to continue the pursuit. It was supposed that the attack on Mr. Dickson was intended for a feint to draw the men away from the fort, when another party would attack the unprotected women and children. But no such attack was made, and as soon as the news of Wayne's victory reached the Indians all who were unfriendly at once disappeared. Mr. Joseph Dickson's recollection of the scenes of that day was very clear. In company with the other children of the settlement, he was playing on the bank of the creek immediately in the rear of Mr. McFarland's house. Suddenly a man came running down and hurried them all inside of the stockade. Shortly after this his father came in, gun in hand, and covered with blood. He was very much excited. Mrs. Dickson was of course alarmed, and, running towards her husband, who, having seen his family safelly housed was about to go out again, said, "Stop; let me wash your wounds." His Scotch blood was still up, and he ran out into the yard saying: "Let me alone! I'll have rvenge on the yellow rascals." The wounds never had a surgeon's care, though they were dressed as carefully as the circumstances would permit, and they soon healed. In the excitement which followed the attack on Mr. Dickson, every one in the settlement who could use a fire-arm was enrolled for service. Robert Dickson, the eldest son, then but 9 years old, had his station at a loop-hole, and was ready to fight if it had been necessary. For this service, performed when a child, he afterwards received a pension from the State.

"James Dickson was born near Dumfries, Scotland, in 1754. He was married December 12, 1782 to Barbra Brown by Rev. John Ewart. Having taken a lively interest in the struggles of the American colonies for independence, he determined to make his home in the new world. In the fall of 1785 he landed at Philadelphia with his wife and two children. They had been eight weeks on the ocean. Remaining but a short time in Philadelphia, the family went west as far as Pittsburg. It was the intention of Mr. Dickson to take up land at once, but the unsettled state of the frontier made it imprudent to do this, and accordingly he remained in or about Pittsburg for several years. Three children were born while there, and three after their removal to Meadville. In all there was a family of eight children. Joseph Dickson was the fourth child. He was born February 12, 1790, on the south side of the Monongahela river, opposite Pittsburg. The place which was afterwards called Birminghan, is now included in the city limits. The family afterwards removed farther down the river, and lived near the mouth of Saw Mill Run. Mr. Dickson can remember watching his older brother push cakes of ice into this run during a freshet which occurred during the spring of 1794. James Dickson came to Meadville alone early in 1793. It is not known how he made his way hither. He remained all summer and raised some corn and potatoes, either on the Island or on the Vallonia flats. These he stored for the use of his family the next season, and returned in the fall to Pittsburg. Next spring, 1794, as soon as the river was safe for navigation, which was some time in April, the family was placed in a small keel boat, in which they were to ascend the Allegheny, as far as Franklin, and thence by way of French Creek to Meadville. In crossing Pittsburg to take the boat they passed through the woods where now is the most densely populated portion of the city. They brought with them furniture and utensils adapted to frontier life. Among other things there was a hand-mill, which was used for several years by the entire population of Meadville. Mr. Dickson distinctly remembers seeing this mill fastened to a post in from of his father's house, on Water Street. The balance wheel was made heavier by means of four cannon balls placed on opposite sides, and connected by iron rods. After it acquired considerable momentum, the weight of these balls kept the mill in motion without much effort on the part of the grinder. About a bushel of corn could be ground in an hour by a strong man. this mill, or a part of it, is now in possession of A. B. Richmond, Esq. The voyage up the river was long and tiresome, as the boat had to be poled by men the entire distance. When they reached a point near the present town of Parker they met with a serious accident. In polling up through swiftly flowing water, called in river language a riffle, the man at the bow lost his hold, and the boat swung around against a rock, being nearly capsized. The current washed away some of their clothing, provisions and other property. It was with great difficulty that the mother and children were carried to the shore. Owing to the rapid current the men could not stand in the water, till at length one of them secured a foot hold and held the polls as a railing for the others. Mr. Dickson remembers being carried ashore on the back of one of the men, who said to him as he clung about his neck, "if you don't hold on I'll throw you into the river." The family remained on the bank of the river nearly a week before another boat came along, on board of which they were taken. At Franklin they obtained supplies in place of those which had been lost, and during the second week in May they reached their destination. They at once found shelter in the block house. Mr. Dickson's recollection of this block house is that it was a small log structure built square and but one-story high. In 1795 a new block house was constructed of hewn logs, at a short distance from the fort. This building is remembered by many of our older citizens, but it must not be confounded with the first block house. Around this there was a stockade, considerably higher than a man's head, enclosing an area of about half an acre. Within the inclosure General Mead had two log houses under the same roof, with a covered passage between them. The Dickson family remained in the block house all that summer.

A REMARKABLE LIFE ------ THE STORY OF THE LIFE OF JOSEPH DICKSON, FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE ------ Life in the Infant Settlement--Hardships of the Early Pioneers--Indian At- tacks--Boating--A Soldier in the War of 1812--His Sur- render at Last to the Grim Destroyer ------ Joseph Dickson died at his home on North Street, in Meadville, Pa., April 3d, 1888, at the advanced age of 98 years, 1 month and 21 days. Having been a resident of Meadville and vicinity ninty four years, nearly the entire century, and having been intimately acquainted with all the first settlers, it makes his life and recollections of great interest at the present time. He was the father of eight sons and five daughters, twelve of whom lived to manhood and womanhood. The twelve children were alive at the mother's death, which occurred March 27th, 1862. At the time of death he had six children, sixteen grandchildren and twenty-three great grandchildren; his children--Mrs. E. B. Comstock and Joseph H., of Meadville, Mrs. G. W. Ready, of Painesville, O., and Mary M., Arch, S. and Jane A. Dickson, inmates of the home in which their aged parent for so many years enjoyed the society of young and old. Mr. Dickson united with the Presbyterian church in 1822, and was a ruling elder for fifty-six years. When nearing his 90th birthday it was decided at a church meeting that the event should be duly celebrated at the church. A sketch of his life, prepared and read by Rev. T. D. Logan on that occasion, part of which is here introduced, the information having been obtained from the venerble man's own lips: "Mr. Joseph Dickson came to Meadville at a very early age. With the exception of about a year and a half he had been a resident of this city or its vicinity. Prior to the War of the Revolution the entire region moth of the Ohio River and west of the Allegheny was a disputed territory, claimed by both the French and English; and after the French had been driven out, the occupation was still disputed by the savages. As a consequence of these conflicts, the settlements were few, previous to the last decade of the eighteenth century. About the year 1787 the first settlers found their way to the valley of French creek, of Venango river, as it ought to be called, but did not make any settlement until the following year. Owing to the hostile attitude of the Indians, they were soon compelled to leave, but they returned in 1790, determined to remain at all hazards. For their protection they built a block-house and stockade near the bank of the creek, on land now occupied by James E. McFarland, on Warer street, near the corner of North street. The town was laid out at an early date, and settlers began to arrive; but it was not till after the defeat of the Indians by General Wayne, in 1794, that a peacable settlement was found possible. It was during this period of danger that the father of Mr. Dickson, with his family, came to Meadville.

I enjoyed your listing of Married and Died on the PACRAWFO list. Would you have in your materials anything about the marriage of Lewis Ransom Himebaugh of Crawford County? Or about his adoption of a baby girl born in 1884 in Buffalo New York? I believe he lived near Venango and was a furniture maker. The baby that he adopted was to become my Grandmother. She was born Nov 4 1884. Her name was Jessie Geneva. I would be so grateful for any information that you might have. Thank you so much Kay in California

Hello List! Thanks to all who answered my questions about the "History of Crawford County, Pennsylvania" book! I received a couple of answers that I thought all might like to know. . . First, from Tom Yoset: The 1885 county history was first reprinted by Unigraphic, with an every-name index, for the Historical Society in 1975; that reprint quickly sold out. The history is available from Higginson Book Co. and Mechling Associates, but without the index. We are in the process of adding Part IV (all township and borough sketches), portions of Part V (biographies), and an every name index to my site, at http://www.gremlan.org/~yoset/CCo/history/1885.html And, another from Tom Newton: There was a reproduction of the book sponsored by the Crawford Co., PA Historical Soc., Meadville, PA. I believe in 1975 (in two vols.) Reproduction by Unigraphic Inc. 1401 North Fares Ave. Evansville, IN 47711. Higginson Book Co. may have copies for sale. http://www.higginsonbooks.com On June 2, Sandy Hershelman wrote: Does anyone have a copy of "The History of Crawford County, Pennsylvania", Vol. I and II, that they'd like to sell?

She was born July 30, 1818 and her parents were John HALL and Keturah SUTTON. Is there anyone out there from this line? All I knew about her was that she was married to my John ANDERSON and their children and that she died June 5, 1889 and that they lived in Greenwood Twp. I would love to hear from any HALL and SUTTON people and I will share anything I have. Thanks. Hope this makes sense as I am typing and trying to keep from jumping up and down at the same time.
