GEORGE WALKER (WALGER) a German, was settled in 1774 near the mouth of Nescopeck creek in Northumberland (now Luzerne) county, Pa., owned a farm and soon thereafter built a log grist- mill. It is said that he was a soldier in the militia defending Wyoming at the " massacre " July 3, 1778. About 1780 he re- moved to Salem, Pa., and owned land and another gristmill which was burned. This land he leased in, or near, 1788 to one Jacob Shaffer, just as he was embarking his family for a home further up the Susquehanna. Tradition says that this lease ran for ninety- nine years and that the consideration was "a hat full of silver poured into his wife's apron." He made his new home (109 years ago) in an unbroken wilderness on the river flats in Nichols, just
