The names printed in italic in the foregoing lists were added to the voting lists unnumbered. The returns give no explanation why this was done. Citizens, whose names ap- pear in italics, were residents of the county, but are not in- cluded in the count, placed to each district.


Owing to the fact that there were but nine polling places in the county, roads few and in bad condition, it is sur- prising that even so large a number of persons should have voted, many being required to go a distance of 15 miles through the wilderness The lists it will be seen contain the names of the greater part of the pioneers of the county and 97 Revolutionary soldiers.


The vote of Bradford county at the November election (presidential) 1812, was returned with Luzerne and Ly- coming counties, and we are therefore unable with the data at hand to tell what the vote was. In that year, however, Clement Paine of Athens was on the Democratic -- Republi- can electoral ticket. He was elected and cast the vote of the district for Madison and Gerry.


The First County Court.


"January Sessions, 1813." "Bradford County, SS :


"At a Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, holden at Towanda in and for the County of Bradford on Monday the 18th day of January, Anno Domini, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirteen:

The First Church Organiza- tion in Bradford County.


" After the settlers had begun to return to the valley of the Susquehanna on the dawn of peace, missionaries sent out by the Connecticut Missionary Society visited this region to look after the scattered sheep in the wil- derness. Among these was the Rev. Jabez Culver, who was here as early as the spring of 1791."


The first church in the county, of which there is any record of organization, was in Wysox, the following be- ing the original minutes :


"Wysox, October 3d day, 1791. Met at Captain Je- hial Franklin's-Isaac Foster, Jonas Smith, William Coolbaugh, Daniel Gutry, Huldah Hicok and Rufus Fos- ter, the Rev. Mr. Culver being present and officiating. The above persons entered into a solemn covenant with God, and with one another by signing their names to a solemn covenant, as in the presence and fear of God ; and then received by vote into full communion with the church-Rev. Mr. Culver, moderator, and preached a sermon : Jehial Franklin, E. M. Franklin, John Newell, Marcy Smith, Jonathan Arnold Franklin, Abigail Frank- lin, Nathan Smith and James Lewis.


Culver, Moderator."


"Wysox, November the 5th day, 1791. Then met the church, and after looking to God by prayer for direction,


46


First Church Organization


by vote they chose Isaac Foster and Jehial Franklin their deacons, and admitted into full communion the same time with the church, Elisha Hubbard, Jesse Al- len, Moses Coolbaugh, Susanna Coolbaugh, Polly Newell, Samuel Cole, Dorothy Cole, and made choice of Elisha Hubbard scribe."


"November the 6th day, 1791, Mrs. Mary Rutty, wife of Mr. Ezra Rutty, was received into full communion with the church."


"Wysox, June the 17th day, 1792. ' Then the church by a vote admitted into full communion with them these seven persons : Nathaniel Hicok and Esther Hicok, his wife, Noadiah Cranmer, Phebe Foster, Abraham Foster, John Smith and Sally Smith ; and the church voted Mr. . Nathaniel Hicok to be their scribe.


Ebenezer Martin, Minister of the Gospel." "Wysox, October the 20th day, 1792. Then the church by vote admitted Hannah Hinman, wife to Mr. John Hinman, and Rachel Cowl, wife to Mr. Christopher Cowl, into full communion with the church.


Ebenezer Martin, Moderator."


"Wysox, May the 4th day, 1794. Then the church by vote did receive Mrs. Hannah Newell, wife of Mr. John Newell, into full communion with this church.


Ebenezer Martin, Moderator."


"Wysox, July the 4th day, 1795. Then the church by vote did receive into full communion with this church, Rudolph Fox, Elizabeth Fox, his wife ; Nellie Fitchgiles, widow ; Hannah Coolbaugh, wife of Moses Coolbaugh ; Anna Martin, wife of Ralph Martin ; Mary Bowman, wife of Jacob Bowman, and Catherine Strope, wife of Henry Strope.


Nathaniel Hicok, Scribe."


47


First Church Organization


"Wysox, July the 5th, 1795. The church made choice of Isaac Foster, Jehial Franklin, William Coolbaugh and Jonathan Arnold Franklin, ruling elders, and of Moses Coolbaugh, Nathaniel Hicok and Jesse Allen, deacons.


Nathaniel Hicok, Scribe."


Rev. Jabez Culver was succeeded in 1792 by Rev. Eb- enezer Martin, who remained with the church till July, 1794. During his ministration, the following "Articles of Faith" and "Church Covenant" of "The Church of Christ at Wysocks on the Susquehanna river in the State of Pennsylvania," were drawn up and subscribed to :


The Introduction .- We, the inhabitants of Wysox, on the banks of the Susquehanna river, and the neighbor. hood round about adjoining, having thought it our duty to unite together in entering into solemn covenant with God and with one another as a society of Christians, for our mutual edification and the obedience of God's holy ordinances ; and being willing that all should know our sentiments respecting the great doctrine of our holy re- ligion ; and, supposing it necessary, we should be agreed about and among ourselves in certain points of doc- trines and discipline, in order to our walking together unitedly in Christian fellowship, do now agree to adopt the following articles as expressing our sentiments con- cerning the most important and fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, and concerning the nature and or- der of the Visible Church.


Articles of the Church at Wysox and the neighborhood adjacent, concerning matters of Faith and Discipline -We believe that there is only one self sufficient, independent and Eternal God, who is an infinite spirit and who sub- sists in three persons, the Father, the Word and the Holy


48


First Church Organization


Ghost, essentially the same and equal in all perfections and glories ; unchangeable in his being, Almighty, All- wise, who created all things, and has an absolute right to dispose of all his creatures, according to his pleasure, and who perfectly knows, presides and governs them in all their actions and orders, and in his own incomprehensible ways brings to pass and manages all events for his own glory.


We believe that the Scripture of the Old and New Tes- taments are the word of God, containing all things neces- sary to be known, believed and practiced in order to glo- rify God and enjoy Him forever.


That the first man, Adam, was created in a state of ho- liness and in favor with God, but afterwards fell from that state by transgression of the Divine Command- ments, and consequently he and all his posterity with and in him lost the moral image of God and become wholly sinful, and do by Nature justly deserve his wrath forever.


We believe that according to the purpose of God be- fore the foundation of the world, the eternal word, the second person in the ever blessed trinity ; in the fullness of time assumed our nature, and in the person of Jesus Christ, the son of God, performed the office of Mediator between God and man ; fulfilled all righteousness, mak- ing a complete and sufficient atonement for sin by His death, and so prepared a way for the free exercise of the mercy of God toward sinners, consistent with all His di- vine perfection, having risen from the dead and ascended on high to the right hand of power, has the government of the world * * * in His hands for the accomplishing His gracious purposes toward His people ; and continu-


49


First Church Organization


ally makes a prevailing intercession before the Father in their behalf, that those and those only whom God hath chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world will, in time, by the free grace of God and the efficacious in- fluence of His holy spirit be renewed in the temper of their minds and be enabled to exercise repentance toward God and faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. By which, be- ing united to Him, they will be pardoned and accepted of God as righteous on account of His righteousness alone, and become heirs of eternal life and be assuredly kept by the power and grace of God through faith unto salvation.


We believe that doctrines of free justification by faith alone affords no encouragement to sin, but it establishes and confirms our obligations to observe the moral law as our rule of life by universal obedience and all holy con- versation.


And we believe that at the consummation of all things, the Lord Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven with great power and glory, and that there will be a univer- sal resurrection of all the dead, and that all the human race must be judged according to the deeds done in the body, whether good or evil, and that the wicked will be sentenced to everlasting misery, but the righteous in Christ crowned with eternal glory.


And as to the nature, order and government of the Christian church, our sentiments are at present as fol- lows: We believe that a visible Christian church is composed of a number of visible friends to Jesus Christ, covenanting to walk together in the order and rules of the Gospel, together with their infant offspring.


And that all the children of believing parents are to be


50


First Church Organization


baptized as members of the Kingdom of God, and trained up and disciplined under the care and watch of the church to which they do belong.


And that a particular church has power from Christ to govern itself under Him as its only head, but it may be expedient in some difficult cases to apply to sister churches for advice.


And though it may be expedient to appoint officers in a church, who are expected to lead in proposing and ex- plaining matters to the church in general, and to mem- bers in particular according to their gifts, yet this by no mean's excludes any private brother from an active voice in admitting or cutting off members, and watching over and disciplining of one another.


These articles we at present believe to be agreeable to the word of God, and as such we receive them until God sball give us fuller and farther light.


And as we are persuaded that God hath called us and made it our duty to enter into solemn covenant with Him and with one another, to walk together in all the means and ordinances of Christ, and that in holy conversation, and that according to His holy word so we have mutually and solemnly agree to adopt the following form to ex- press our covenant relation and sole obligations to God and to one another, desiring to wait upon God for light and grace to do our duty according to His most holy word and will.


The Solemn Covenant .- We do this day, in the pres- ence of the Great Eternal and Holy God, and before angels and men solemnly take and acknowledge the Lord Jehovah, Father, Son and Holy Ghost to be our God ; and we do devote and give up ourselves, soul and bodies,


51


First Church Organization


and all that we have and all that we are to be for Him and no other, submitting and yielding ourselves to His disposal and service as willing and obedient subjects.


And as we are by nature children of wrath, and have greatly dishonored God by our transgressions, both in heart and life, so we do now openly declare our detesta- tion and abhorence of all our former classes, both public and private, and desire forgiveness of God and man.


And we do also take the Lord Jesus Christ for our Sa- viour and Redeemer, depending alone upon his merits and righteousness for acceptance with God, and we do also take the Holy Ghost to be our sanctifier ; and do solemnly promise by the help of Divine grace, without which we can do nothing, to forsake our sins, renounce the world, the flesh and the devil, and serve the Lord in newness of life and live in the conscientious and faith- ful discharge of the duties that we owe to God, to our neighbors and to ourselves, according to the directions of God's holy word revealed in the Bible for our rule of life.


And we do also give up ourselves to one another as members of this church in the Lord, and solemnly prom- ise by the help of Divine grace to act and behave toward one another as become brethren in Christ, and to watch over one another in the love of God seeking each other's good, holding communion in the worship of God, and carefully and diligently to attend all the means and or- dinances of Christ's appointment as he shall give us op- portunity ; and yielding up ourselves and ours to the disposal of God in this church, according to the will of Christ, so long as we continue together in this relation by the will of God.


52


First Church Organization


We, the subscribers or signers, do manifest our most solemn agreement to the above articles and covenant. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our names, etc. : Nancy Mann, Elizabeth Allen, Elizabeth Means, Sarah Gibson, Henry Strope, Catherine Schryader, Francis Watts, Jane Watts, Bastion Strope, Lydia Strope, Jenny Van Volkenborough, Hannah Newell, Rudolph Fox, Eliz- abeth Fox, Nellie Fitchgiles, Hannah Coolbaugh, Anna Martin, Mary Bowman, Nathan Smith, Jehial Franklin, John Newell, Abigail Franklin, E.

All the Judges prior to Wilmot were appointed by the Governor. A Constitutional Amendment in 1850, provided for the election of the Judges of the several Districts. All Judges holding commissions by appointment were cut off and made to expire on the first Monday of December, fol- lowing the election of the new Judges. The new Judges were elected at the general election (1851) next following the adoption of this Amendment. Hence, it will be seen why Williston, who had been appointed for a term of ten years, did not serve longer.


In 1857, Judge Wilmot was a candidate for Governor, he


54


County Officers, 1812-1912


therefore resigned, and Darius Bullock was on the 8th day of August, 1857, appointed to fill the vacancy by Governor Pollock, his commission to expire on the first Monday of December following. Wilmot was defeated for Governor at the October election ; he was accordingly re-commis- sioned Judge by Governor Pollock, to hold said office until the first Monday of December following the next general election. In 1858 he was again elected and commissioned for a full term of ten years. He was elected to the U. S. Senate in January, 1861, when he resigned his position as Judge, and Ulysses Mercur was appointed his successor, March 19, 1861. Judge Mercur's commission being issued to hold until the first Monday in December following the next general election, he was elected in October, 1861, for a full term of ten years and commissioned accordingly.


In 1864, Judge Mercur was elected to Congress. Farris B. Streeter was appointed to fill the vacancy, caused by the resignation of Judge Mercur by a commission dated March 4, 1865, to hold until the first Monday of December follow- ing the next general election. In October, 1865, Judge Streeter was elected for a full term of ten years.


By the Aet creating the office of Additional Law Judge and the Act making Bradford and Susquehanna county each separate Judicial Distriets, Judge Streeter was suc- ceeded as President Judge of the 13th District by Paul D. Morrow in 1874. In 1880, Judge Morrow was re-elected for a term of ten years. He served his term lacking only 20 days, having died December 15, 1890. Benjamin M. Peck, who had been elected for a term of ten years in No- vember, 1890, was appointed December 17, 1890, by Gov- ernor Beaver to fill the unexpired term of Judge Morrow. Judge Peck died in office, September 9, 1899, and on Sep- tember 21, 1899, Adelbert C. Fanning was appointed to fill the vacancy. In November, 1900, Judge Fanning was elected to a full term of ten years. Judge Gibson was the


55

By Act of July 18. 1901, Bradford county was made to constitute the 42nd Judicial District.
