Skinnerys Eddy Ferry-Jesse Sturdevant son of Rev. Samuel Sturdevant of Black Walnut established a ferry at Skinners Eddy in 1802. He operated it for many years between Skinners Eddy and North Flat and then sold it to Robert Brungess. In 1887 Robert Brungess leased it to A. L. Waltman and went to Mehoopany to operate the Jennings ferry. Isaac and Mary Rogers Rosengrant bought the ferry from Robert Brungess and he operated it until his death . Mrs Rosengrant continued the ferry and hired Russell Comstock, to run it for her. In 1912 the ferry was suspended for lack of business, but was used again in 1918 when the north Flat end of the bridge was destroyed by flood. The business people of Laceyville and Skinners Eddy and the farmerson the opposite side of the river formed a group to sponsor a new ferry to be used at Skinners Eddy. After the ferry was completed a bee was held to launch it in to river late in 1918.

Mr and Mrs. Isaac Rosengrant bought Skinners Eddy ferry and house from Robert Brungess just previous to 1900, after her death he son Judson came into possession of the home. An early graduate of Mansfield Norman School he was a school teacher and later a Methodist minister who servedmany churches in NY and PA. Dr. and Mrs Rosengrant spent their summers here and the winters in Florida. After they passed away the family kept the old homestead until it was sold.

The then returned to Scottsville and bought a farm where they lived for many years. their children MYron, Floyd, Emma, Laura, Margaret Ann and others who died at a young age.

Floyd Shoemaker, son of Gardner and Sarah Williams Shoemaker, lived on the old homestead in Upper Scotsville. He married Blanche Keeney of Golden Hill and they had 3 children Harold, Madge and Richard. Madge at about the age of three was so badly burned by sparks from a brush fire that she died. The tragedy brought so much sorrow to the parents that they decided to move to Laceyville, where Mr Shoemaker began to work for the Whipple Brothers Lumber Co. later they moved elsewhere to work for the company. Blanch died and Floyd later married Myrtle Gibbs. He died at the age of 86, and was buried at North Flat near his wife and daughter Madge.

Dear Seneca, Whoever you are: My line is the Estell line found in Braintrim first, then Windham, then Mehoopany. In locating land Andrew King Estell lived on in Bowman`s Hollow, Ann Adams took us there for her ancester Joseph Vaow purchased Andrew`s land in 1842. Ann`s husband was Francis M. Adams who passed away December 16, 1986. They lived in Roger`s Hollow, but she has sold her place and lives in Tunkhannock. Your tax list for 1819 was good. The Rogers family is well represented. Andrew King Estell`s wife was Artemesia Rogers, daughter of Josiah Rogers. He was the nephew of Josiah Rogers whose wife was killed in the Wyoming Massacre, I think without checking right now. Josiah Rogers came to Windham in 1808 from Canterbury, CT. Ebenezer Harris came about the same time also, and it is a possibility that Ebenezer`s sister Ruth Harris was Josiah Roger`s wife. Harold Craig, Montrose, is looking for proof of this. Any help out there? Rogers genealogy can be found in the Historical Society at Tunkhannock, what info is known. A number of the families have been located and more information is available than is in the"book" written in the 1970`s. If any of the above info is of help to anyone out there, more can be sent. The Wyoming Historical Society at Tunkhannock has MUCH info and is adding to this constantly. They are very helpful there is assisting you. Helen Estelle Hull, Box 275, Interlaken, NY Josiah`s and Ruth`s children were: Mary (Polly) Rogers who married Timothy Alworth who was on the 1819 tax list; Theeda Emma Rogers who married 17 August 1828 Henry Humphrey - More info needed on Henry Humphrey; Lucy Rogers married Philip R Arms, also on the 1819 tax list; Ruby Rogers married Christopher Miller - (alot of info on both Lucy and Ruby`s families, both on the 1819 tax list.); Gustavus Adolphus Rogers married Martha Humphrey (called Polly) -again more info needed on the Humprheys; Artimesia Rogers married Andrew King Estell, (my line, so have a lot of info); Ruth Rogers who married James Harris who possibly is the son of Ebenezer Harris. Harold Craig has lots of info on the Harrises; Albagence G Rogers who apparently didn`t marry. A deed was found when Josiah sold him land. This land bordered G Adolphus`s land. Gilbert Gay, also on the 1819 tax list, married Andrew K. Estell`s sister Lucinda . They moved before 1830 to Franklin, Bradford Co. Have a lot of info on them. Think that Gilbert Gay and David Estell were on the 1819 tax list for Eaton Twp. Andrew Estell`s brother David Estell married Amy and had 4 or 5 sons. He taught school on Union Hill and could possibly have been a minister there also. I believe John Estell, found on the 1800 Kingston Federal census was the father of David, Lucinda and Andrew King Estell. More information is needed on this John Estell. I believe he came from Morris Co, NJ and could possibly have been in the Revolution when the troops were in the Kingston/Wyoming area. From family information, his wife may have been an Indian. Help needed here. Both Andrew and Lucinda were married by Asa Steven, Jr in Scottsville. David Estell died in 1829. Later Amy, his widow, sold land to Henry Jackson from Auburn, NY and moved north of the river. What Amy`s maiden name is, is unknown. Two of the children had Jackson for a middle name. Back to Adams: Marriage Records kept by Rev John Miller, p 200 ( think it was Horace Hayden`s book), gives May 4, 1856, Orlando P. Wall to Mary L Adams, both of Abington. This section, sorry I don`t have the title of the book, gives the problem of not finding Marriage, death and birth records in Wyoming Section of PA, 1797-1810. Allegra Sturdevant has her mother`s records (Gay family) and she had 3 typed sheets of marriages performed by Asa Stevens, Jr,Esq. Copies of these can be found at the Wyoming Historical Society in Tunkhannock. On this list is 10 Oct 1826, Gilbert Adams to Miss Sally Thap(?Thorp).

I'm looking for information on CHARLES SHOOK. Charles SHOOK lived with my GGG Grandmother, Matilda McKeel, per the Wayne Co, PA 1880 Census. The 1880 Census didn't list the Relationship to the family. In an old photo album, I have a picture of Charlie SHOOK. The Photo was taken at Manchester's of Factoryville, PA. Because of this photo, I'm sure he kept in touch with the family. Could someone do me a favor and check the 1900 Wyoming Census for Charlie SHOOK. I'm curious about his family. Any help would be appreciated. Kevin

School at Hemlock Bottom was held at David Young's log barn near the bank of the Susquehanna River, In the sumer of 1799 and 1800 the teacher Polly Stevens, wife of Myron Steves. The first log schoolhouse was built about 1801, well back from the river as the water became high in the spring of the year.

I feel anyone that cares enough to look into their family history cares enough to make sure it is valid. For some family info there is only the family bible or the memory of the older generations. This info is usually stated as such. Kristy Cooper: searching for Keenan, Dodd, Warrick,Pa. and WVa.
