No. I.


[TO OUR READERS. - At the request of the Proprietor of the TELEGRAPH, it is proposed to present in the Saturday's edition of that newspaper, all matters ap- pertaining to the History, Biography and Genealogy of this locality. In recent re searches much has come to light. while that which we had previously gathered, having been excluded by the publishers of the re ent History of Dauphin and Lebanon Counties from that volume, we propose to give the readers of the TELE- GRAPH. Much is entirely new material, and all of it is valuable. W. H. E.]


GUSTAVUS S. PETERS .- In the Decen - ber number of the "Deutsche Pionier, " published at Cincinnati, (., is an interest- ing biographical sketch of that old Har risburg printer, Gustavus S. Peters, the real inventor of printing toy-books in oil colors. Our German newspapers should by all means republish Editor Ratter- mann's valuable article.


HOFFMAN. HENRY, died intestate prior to March 10 1772, for at that date, his descendants, as follows, gave title to his land of which he had applied for a war- rant : Yost, Adam, George. Anna Mary, Elizabeth, m. Henry Strack, and Catha- rine m. Melchior Laudermilch. Who was this Henry Hoffman ?


RIDDLE-ALLEN .- Tristam Riddle took out a warrant for two hundred acres of land in Hanover township, May 9, 1747. He died intestate, unmarried, when his father, James Riddle, transferred all right in the land to Joseph Allen, who had married Jane Riddle, daughter of James Riddle.


NEW ENGLAND RUN .- This stream was in Upper Paxtang township, in deeds prior to 1773. We would like to know from some of our county survey- ors, the name which this stream now bears. X. Y. Z.


EARLY SHAD FISHERY .- Where in the Susquehanna is Lawson's Island ? It was warranted in 1 739 as " 'a good fishery."


BAREFOOT BRUNSON .- This gentleman, who was on the first jury of the county. resided, as early as 1765. on the porth side of Peter's mountain. What else is k nown of liim ?


HISTORICAL MEMORANDA. -- The fol- lowing data gleaned from warrants in the Land Department of the State may be of genealogical value :


Enders, Hans Peter. on February 21, 1737, took up three hundred acres in Erle township, Lancaster county.


Eyster, Jolin, on May 12, 1748, took up "fitty acres adjoining Martin Miller. on a Branch of Codorus, over Sasqua- hanna River."


Foster. David, prior to 1737 took up a tract of land on Conewago creek. subse- quently parented to his sons John and William.


Galbraith, Andrew. John, James and Samuel, settled, in then Donegal town- ship, afterwards Derry, in 1720.


CHAMBERS .- Joseph Chambers patent- ed three hundred acres of land "on the north side of the Kittatinny Hills on the River Sasqualianna," in 1744. In 1760 it was stated as ' many years ago." At this date his widow. Catharine, was the

Historical and Genealogical.


wife of Samuel Hunter. Joseph Chan- bers' children were Thomas, James, Mary and Jane, the first three over twenty-one years of age. Thomas died prior to De- cember, 1763; James was killed in August 1762, by the Indians in an engagement at Muncy Hill, leaving a wife, Catharine, a daughter Catharine, and a posthumous child. Jane married William Foulks and Mary m. Jolin Croker. What be- came of these latter ?


"ROUND Top." in Derry. was so named in the earliest deeds, and not as- generally considered of recent origin Round Top is one of the landmarks of the "Lower End, " and who knows what its resources may in the future be. It is owned by that prince of Pennsylvania farmers, Col. James Young.


SIMON GIRTY. the Indian trader and fatber of the outlaw of the same name, settled, in 1:43, on a tract of land on the east side of the Susquehanna, where he cleared thirty acres and made other im provements. HIe resided several years thereon. Becoming indebted to Thomas McKee in upwards of $300, the land sub- sequently came into the latter's posses- sion. When and where was Simon Girty. the trader, killed ?


MAJOR WILLIAM ALLISON.


WILLIAM ALLISON, son of Robert Al- lison, of Derry, was born in 1760, in the township of Derry, then Laneaster coun- ty, Pennsylvania. Little is known of his early years, but he seems to have been a mechanic of considerable enter- prise, and established the first nailery at Harrisburg, and continued in similar bus- iness at Middletown, where he resided most of his lifetime He was a major of the militia during the last decade of the century. and quite prominent in the affairs of the county. In 1817, on the death of William Moorhead, he was ap- pointed by the Sceretary of the Treas- ury collector of the direct tax for the Tenth district of Pennsylvania. He sub- sequently removed to Fairview township, York county, where he had a forge, and where he died suddenly on Wednes- day, November 2, 1825, aged about 65


years. He was one of the pioneers in the iron business of the State of Penn- sylvania, and our only regret is that this record is so meager. W. H. E.


CAPT. JONATHAN MCCLURE.


JONATHAN MCCLURE, son of Rich- ard MeClure, was born about 1745 in Paxtang. He was one of Joseph Huteh- inson's pupils, received a good English education and brought np to mercantile pursuits. When the war of the Revolu tion needed his support, he was a lieuten- ant in Capt. John Rutherford's company and in service during the New Jersey campaign of 1776. Towards the close of the war he commanded a company of militia raised in Paxtang for the defense of the frontiers. He was commissioned by the Supreme Executive Council a jus- tice of the peace. September 8, 1784, and on the 17th of November following, one of the judges of the court of common pleas. When the county of Danphin was erected in the spring following, being one of the oldest justices in commissionwithin the limits of the new county, he with Tim- othy Green and Samuel Jones came to be the first judges of the courts thereof. IIc died at Middletown on Wednesday, December 11, 1799, aged about fifty-four vears. Capt. McClure married Novem- ber 10, 1768, Sarah Hayes, of Derry- and their children mostly removed to Buffalo Valley. W. II. E.


MACLAY, ANDREW .- In the summer of 1799, Jolin Steel and Andrew Maclay had established a nail manufactory at the corner of Walnut and Front streets, next door to Mrs. Boyd's store. Who was this Andrew Maclay ?


MILL ON THE SWATARA,-John Fisher, of Paxtang, in 1780, entered into an agreement with John Hollingsworth, mil- ler, of Wilmington, Delaware, to erect a mill on the Swatara to be held in com- mon by Fisher and Hollingsworth, What mill was this ?


"FORT HUNTER" was confirmed by the Proprietaries, December 5, 1774, to John Garber. John Garber and wife, Mary, by deed of February 24, 1787,

confirms the same to Archibald McAllis- ter, of Londonderry township, Dauphin county.


MOORHEAD, -William Moorhead died at Harrisburg June 29, 1817, leaving a wife, Elizabeth, and children :


i. Elizabeth, above 14 years.

Mr. Moorhead owned Lytle's Ferry, above Halifax, as carly as 1807, for in that year he proposed laying out a town there. What is known of his family ?


'BLUE BLOOD."-A correspondent asks how this term originated, as used in reference to the "aristocraey.". In reply, we would state that "Blue Blood" (sang azu_) was a term used in Spain to desig- nate the pure Spaniards from those of their countrymen whose blood had been contaminated by inter-marriage with, and descent from, the Moors. A hidalgo of blue-blood boasts that he is of the purest Spanish descent. Hence the adoption of the term in our language as one of sareasm.


.


FUNERAL NOTICES,-I found in an old memorandum book a receipt for printing funeral notices. The rising generation appears to be ignorant of this ancient custom of our forefathers. Was it a local or general practice ?


OLD TIMES.


[Prior to the commencement of this century, it was customary in the town for the sexton of the churches to present an invitation to funerals. This was in some cases written, in fewer instances printed. The last printed invitation we recollect seeing in this locality was to the funeral of Thomas Elder, Esq., in 1853. The establishment of the daily newspaper press has abolished this occa- sional usage. ]


REEHM .- This name is variously spelled-Reem, Rheeme, ' Ream, and as we have written it. From paper recently coming to our knowledge we have rc. ceived this record :


Abraliam Reelim, sen., d. in October, 1777, in Dauphin county, leaving a wife Christina, and children :


¿. Abraham, b. May 10, 1737.


ii. barbara. b. April 14, 1739m. Jacob Palmer (or Balmer.)

ci. Simon. b. October 28, 1747.


vii. Samuel, b. January 4, 1749, d. prior to 1816, leaving Samuel m. Eliza- beth- Estner, and Catharine (d. April, 1814. ) in. John Felty.


vini Elizabeth, b. April 28, 1759 ; m. Michael Barringer, of Elizabeth town- ship, Lancaster county.


ir. Benjamin. b. May 11, 1762.


r. Esther, b. Nov. 12, 1763; d. Octo- ber 31, 1806 ; m. John Parthemer, jun. ; d 1816.


The foregoing facts arc of genealogical importance, and we would be pleased to have additions made thereto. We have inquiry from the family of Barringer in North Carolina concerning the name here, and as this with the others have representatives in this locality they could no doubt add much to our knowl- edge.

"BATTALION DAYS."


Roll of un old time Militia Company.


"Ye Olden Time," a correspondent, furnishes us this occount of the "Militia Trainings, of fifty years ago: "A law of the State required the enrollment of all able-bodied men between the ages of eightcen and forty-five years, which was divided into companies and battalions in their separate districts, the officers being elected at special clections held for the purpose. There were two training days, in the months of May and June. The first was muster day, at which all en- rolled werc required to attend under a penalty of one dollar fine. They met at the appointed place armed with canes and broomsticks generally, and were formed into company line, as well as the offiecrs knew how to do it, the roll was called and the company dismissed. The next day for parade was about two weeks

Historical and Genealogical.


later when the whole day was generally occupied. This was review or battalion day, when the companies were formed in battalion commanded by regimental offi- cers on horseback, in uniform, with chapeaus and feathers. This gathering of the forces was for inspection by the Brigade Inspector, who appointed the time for the different battalions to meet. Review day was one of the few holidays then observed, as there were but three, (viz : Independence day, Christmas and Review day). The companies generally formed in front of one of the many taverns, and when the entire battalion had arrived, a march was or dered with drum and fife to the field selected, sometimes to Maclay's field, now Second and State streets, which had a very large chestnut tree growing in it affording a nice shade, or else to another field adjoining the town. now in the city limits. AAfter the militia reached the ap- pointed place they were formed in line and the Brigade Inspector in full regi- mental uniform, went through the farce of inspection of the arms, which con- sisted, as previously remarked, of walk- ing and broom sticks, corn stalks and oc- casionally a few shot guns. Then dis- missal followed, and a rush was made for the booths. of which there were many, where cakes, small beer, pies, tripe, bologna and other eatables were sold. Thimble-riggers and other gamesters were also there plying their av- ocations. Numbers of girls and women also attended the reviews. About three or four o'clock the roll was beaten, the companies formed and the battalion marched into town, where, after being paraded through the principal streets, was dismissed. This system became so farcical that the people got disgusted, and a burlesque was gotten up in Philadel- phia which spread to the country where the annual parades were made, repre- senting militiamen in all ridic- ulous characters. These displays,


after a time, grew into fantas- ticles and were abandoned. Through time the militia system was done away with, or when the Mexican war began the Government discarded the former militia in citizen's dress and uniformed all vol unteers in regulation uniforms, when,


after the ending of the war with Mexico, thissystem was also done away with, the Legislature making laws and establish- ing an entirely new sytem, which lasted until the late rebellion when it too was found wanting, and at the close of it the present organization of the National Guard has been formed, the most perfect ever adopted in Pennsylvania or any of the States.

ARMSTRONG .- Robert and Alexander Armstrong, brothers, were early settlers on the Susquehanna, near Halifax, in then 'Pextang." On the 13th of August, 1751, one hundred acres were warranted to Robert, whereon he made improve- ments which, in 1755, were destroyed by the Indians. Subsequently there was "erected a Fort on the same Tract called Fort Halifax. " The "said Tract adjoined Plantation late of Simon Girtee." On the 20th of June, 1773, a warrant was issued in favor of Robert Armstrong for one hundred and fifty acres of land sit- uate " on the east side of New England Run, in Upper Paxtang township.


W. H. E.


CHURCH GRANTS IN WICONISCO VAL- LEY .- On the 7th of March, 1775, the Propriataries granted to Adam King and George Nagley, one hundred sixty acres of land in Wiconisco Valley, adjoining land of John Sheesley and Ludwig Bretz, on each side of a run falling into Little Wiconisco creek, in Lancaster county, in trust for the First Presbyterian and Lutheran churches, whereon their houses are already built." What churches were these? It would seem that these had been erected ten or fifteen years prior to the date of grant. Will some of our "Upper End" readers give us further information ?

Historical and Genealogical.


THE FIRST PERSON NAMED FOR


WASHINGTON .- In the Massachusetts


Magasine for January, 1789, is copied an , advertisement from the Londonderry (Ireland) Journal of February 30, 1783, announcing the fact that Matthew Neely, of Burnally, parish of Tamlaghtsinla- gan, and county Londonderry, had named his first child born on the 14th of February 1783, George Washington Neely, "he being the first child known or so-called in this kingdom." We have recently seen this statement alluded to in an Historical Magazine, and the follow - ing fact we offer in contradiction. The youngest son of James Beatty of An- ahilt, County Down, Ireland, born Jan- uary 4, 1781, he named George Wash- ington Beatty He left Ireland in the summer of 1784,and settled at Harrisburg, where he died, and where the son, who in later years omitted the W from his sig- nature, lived all his life. We refer to the late George Beatty.


THE LOGANS AND ROBINSONS. - I chanced recently to visit Mr. John Lo- gan, who resides in the southeastern part of Londonderry township, Lebanon county, and was much interested in his reminiscences of the olden time. He is eighty-four years of age and his wife, whose maiden name was Harriet Robin- son, about four-score, Mrs. Logan's great -grandfather, Thomas Robinson, took up prior to 1732 a large tract of land along Conewago creek, where John, Isaac, Christian and Samuel Risser, and others now live. Thomas Robinson had first taken up land at or near where Ann- vill is located, but owing to the scarcity of water, he removed nearer the creek. In that neighborhood the Logans and other Scotch Irish Presbyterians settled, and there Robert Robinson, Mrs. Logan's grandfather, was born in 1:32 There was an Indian wigwam near where Ris- ser's school house stands. These In- dians. Mrs. Logan said, were friendly In- dians, and the whites were always kind to them. As it is traditional that the Hayes brothers, there were two, who had a saw mill near the wigwam, between the Conewago and Little Conewago, were with the Paxtang boys in their raid to Conestoga and Lancaster, Mr. Logan


stated it was not correct. Robert Hayes was sheriff in the latter part of the [cen - tury. He was killed by being caught in the machinery of the saw-mill. North of this Presbyterian settlement the Ger- mans located. Not being able to con- verse with each other, the latter hung pots and kettles upon forked sticks driven into the ground, to show they had a right to the land. The Presbyterians worshipped at the old Derry church. but prior to its erection, Mr. Logan stated that a church had been built a little south of the present one near the large spring on Jacob Behm's farm, Some thirty years ago in making road near that place human bones were dug up, but most of the remains had been removed, long prior, to the grave yard attached to the present church. There was also at that early day a church somewhere near the boundary between Conewago and Londonderry, not far from the Concwago. Mr. Logan saw one of the graves. I shall try and hunt it up. The Robinsons and others had negro slaves, and Mr. L. pointed out in one of his fields where the slaves had been buried. Both Mr. and Mrs. Logan are in the enjoyment of good health and memory, and delight in talk- ing about "the old times." C. G. S.


TOMBSTONE RECORDS


In Lutheran Church Yard, Hummelstown.


[In the old grave-yard surrounding Zion Evangelical ; Lutheran church at Hummelstown, are the tombstone records of those which follow. Believing that their preservation in this form will be appreciated by many-especially those who have "gone out from the old home" -we have arranged them alphabetically for convenience of reference. Will some correspondent give us the marriage and baptismal records of this next to the old- est Lutheran church in Dauphin county. ] I. Alleman, Rebecca, b. Nov. 6, 1808; d. Sep. 17, 1852.
