In the case of my Troxel migration of two very large families leave Lehigh after only 23 years yet their property was vast. The family had 776 acres. They didn't split the family in a move to get larger farm tracts. They had established the Egypt reformed Church and were vital in it. The Lambing family, at least, accompanied them to Adams Co. and then on to Westmoreland. Has anyone read the newspapers of the area for 1760's to see if there is mention of some problem? Our family tradition is of the Troxels building their large house while the Indians sat near by and watched. Peaceful relations, and Indians generally left in 1742. There are no records of Indian fights in the Jordan Valley. The area they built on was officially opened for settlement in 1734. In 1737 300 acres was purchased by Troxel. There were only 6 other settlers there in 30 square miles. Ann agatha1@flash.net
