Here is a list of settlers in Path Valley in 1750. (Does anyone know how to add this type of material to the Franklin County site so that others can find it more easily? Please let me know - I have other primary material.) “History and Topography of Dauphin, Cumberland, Franklin, Bedford, Adams and Perry Counties” by I. Daniel Rupp; Gilbert Hills, Pub, Lancaster, 1846. Chapter 24, History of Cumberland County, p 382. Letter of Richard Peters, Secretary of Pennsylvania to James Hamilton, Esq., Governor of Pennsylvania. “Mr. Weiser and I have received your Honor’s orders to give information to the proper magistrate against all such as had presumed to settle and remain on the lands beyond the Kittochtinny mountains not purchased of the Indians, in contempt of the laws repeatedly signified by proclamations and particularly by your Honor’s last one, and to bring them to a legal conviction, lest for want of their removal a breach should ensue between the Six Nations of Indians and this Province. We set out on Tuesday, the 15th of May 1750 for the new county of Cumberland, where the places on which the trespassers had settled, lay. (there follows a long section about the trip and various meetings, and other settlers who were not in compliance) “On Wednesday the 30th of May, the magistrates and company, being two days detained by rain, proceeded over the Kittochtinny mountains and entered into the Tuscara (Tuscarora) Path or Path Valley, through which the road to Allegheny lies. Many settlements were formed in this valley and all the people were sent for, and the following persons appeared, viz: Abraham Slach, James Blair, Moses Moore, Arthur Dunlap, Alexander McCartie, David Lewis, Adam McCartie, Felix Doyle, Andrew Dunlap, Robert Wilson, Jacob Pyatt, Jacob Pyatt, Jr, Wiliam Ramage, Reynolds Alexander, Samuel Patterson, Robert Baker, John Armstrong, and John Potts, who were all convicted by their own confessions to the magistrates, of the like trespasses with those at Shearman’s creek and were bound in like cognizances to appear at court, and bonds to the Proprietaries to remove with all their families, servants, cattle and effects, and, having all voluntarily gives possession of their houses to me, some ordinary log houses, to the number of eleven, were burnt to the ground; the trespassers most of them cheerfully and a very few of them with reluctance, carrying out all their goods.
