> Are there any HILLS (plural) in the book? To Barb Chapman bchapman@ri-exp.beaumont.edu, here are the HILLS found in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 192, in the history of Crawford County: "The true boundary line between Crawford and Erie Counties was long a subject of dispute, and to settle the question, the Legislature passed an act at the session of 1849-50, providing for three Commissioners to run a new line. This board was given full power to act, and its decision was to be final. In 1850, Humphrey A. HILLS, of Albion, was appointed Commissioner for Erie County, Andrew Ryan for Crawford County, and these two selected H.P. Kinnear of Warren County, as the third member of the board. Wilson King and Mr. Jagger were chosen as surveyors, the former on behalf of Erie County, and the latter of Crawford, but David Wilson, as deputy for King, did most of the work. The Commissioners experience some difficulty in finding a starting point, but after this was agreed upon, the survey was completed in about six weeks." On page 666, in the history of Summit Township: "The Methodist Episcopal Church at Harmonsburg was built about 1840. It is a frame building, with basement, and occupies Lots 77 and 78 in the northeast part of the village. The class was organized many years previous, though none of the original members remain to give the date. A Union Church, the first in the village, was erected on the lot immediately north of the present schoolhouse in 1821 or 1822, the deed for the lot being granted by Henry Broadt to eight trustees September 14, 1821. The church was free to all Christian denominations, and the Methodists worshipped in it until the erection of their building. Among the earlier members of the church were John Smith, Watson Smith, and Thomas McCray. Harmonsburg Circuit was formed in 1834, and the following have been its pastors: G. HILLS and P.S. Ruter, 1834; G. HILLS and C.D Rockwell, 1835; B. Preston and W. Griffith, 1836; D. Richey and C.R. Chapman, 1837; L.D. Prosser and J. Deming, 1838; J. Deming and I. Scofield, 1839; J. Leslie and S. Heard, 1840; L. Rodgers, T.D. Blinn and A. Norton, 1841. The circuit was in 1842 divided into Conneautville and Evansburg Circuits, and by a division of the Conneautville in 1861, Harmonsburg was again created and has since had the following ministers: J. Bain, 1861-62; N.C. Brown, 1863-64; S. Hollen, 1865; J. Akers, 1866; T.P. Warner, 1867-68; G.H. Brown, 1874; W.H. Hoover, 1875-76; M.V. Stone, 1877-78-79; Sylvester Fidler, 180-81; T.W. Douglas, 1882; Samson Dimmick, 1883. Harmonsburg Circuit now includes four appointments - Harmonsburg, Dicksonburg, Smiths and Little's Corners. The membership of Harmonsburg congregation is eighty-three." More to follow on HILLS. Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
