RUSH.

Nathan Tupper first lived on a farm above William Lathrop's, in what is now the upper. part of the village of Rush. This place was occupied in 1806 by Ebenezer Pickett, father of Captain Joab Pickett, whose wife died here in 1808. The elder Pickett died in 1826, aged eighty years, and the farm was afterwards oc- cupied by Warren Lung, who was here as a carpenter as early as 1813. "One of the sons of Nathan Tupper, Hiel, settled on the Middle Branch, two miles from any inhabitants in one direction and three miles in another. While preparing his log house in the woods, he was accustomed on Monday morning to take a load of provisions and stay until Saturday night, often not seeing a human being during the en- tire week. He was once hired to go to Great Bend to look for some cattle that had strayed away. He found them at Snake Creek, where night overtook him, and, as it was cold, he was obliged to pass the hours in running around a tree to keep warm. He did not see a person while away from home."1 He married Phalla Downer February 5, 1807, and lived on this place until his death, January 19, 1865. Other sons of Nathan Tupper were Harry and Loren, and five of the daughters married Spencer Lathrop, Nehemialı Lathrop, Merritt Mott, Willard Mott and Abel Chatfield, most of them living in the western part of the county. In 1799 Enoch Reynolds came from Norwich, Conn., and opened a small store in a building which Colonel Ezekiel Hyde had put up on his place at Rushville, but the venture does not appear to have been successful, and it was soon closed up. Reynolds drifted to Washington, where he became one of the comptrollers of the treasury. He was a learned gentleman, and the change from the wilds of the Wyalus- ing to a home among people of like tastes must have been very pleasing. Of him Charles Mi- ner said : "He would relieve the tedium of a journey through an uninhabited tract of road by a story from Shakespeare as perliaps no other settler could." The same year Seril Peck made the first settlement in the lower part of the township, where he died in 1811. His

farm later became known as the Williams place. The following year Walter Lathrop, father of Judge Benjamin Lathrop, came from New London County, Conn., and located a farm, but moved to Bridgewater in 1803, where he died in 1818. The condition of the settle- ments in 1801 was given as follows by the Rev. D. Craft, in his " Wyalusing :"

"The farms on the Wyalusing below the present western line of Jessup were occupied by the first set- tłers in the following order: Levi Leonard, Elijah Adams, Nathan Tupper, William Lathrop, Salmon Brown, John Jay, Joab Pickett, Daniel Metcalf, Ja- bez Hyde, Isaac Brownson and Daniel Ross. In 1801, when Isaac Hancock was appointed justice of the peace for Rush, he was located where Daniel Metcalf began in 1795, on the farm adjoining that of Daniel Ross. When Susquehanna County was erected, its west line was run between them, and the name of the part set off with Bradford County was changed to Pike township. Esquire Hancock was born near West Chester, Pa. Before the Revolution- ary War he was at Wyalusing for a time and returned there about 1785. He is mentioned on the records of Luzerne County as a 'taverner' for Springfield town- ship in 1788. At this time he was also one of the overseers of the poor for the district composed of the whole extent of Luzerne County from the mouth of the Meshoppen north to the State line. His sons were John and Jessc. Of his seven daughters, Mrs. Daniel Ross, Mrs. Jesse Ross and Mrs. Benajah Frink were residents of this county. The last named was twin with Jesse H., and is the only one of the family now living. Mrs. Frink states that Polly Canfield, of the Middletown family, taught school on a rock somewhere on the farmn of Daniel Ross about 1798, and had six scholars. Huldah Fairchild, daughter of Ephraim, also taught school early in this neighbor- hood. Elders Sturdevant and Thomas Smiley were among the first preachers here. There was in 1801 no settler on the east and west road between Elk Lake, in the present township of Dimock, and the mouth of its outlet, in Rush."

A number of changes were now made in the ownership of lands. Roads had been located and opened, making it possible to live off from the highway along the creek, which was for- mally recognized on the report of the viewers August, 1801, as follows :

" Beginning at the southeast corner of E. Hyde's store, thence running to Captain Picket's, thence to the creek by S. Maine's, thence to Mr. John Rey- nolds', thence to Ozem Cook's, thence to Captain Hinds', thence to Snake Creek, thence to the Barnum north and south road running through Kirby and

Law's settlement, to a tree by D. Barnum's, thence on to intersect the road running from the Great Bend to Tunkhannock near the bank of Wyley's Creek, about one hundred and twenty chains south of Great Bend." Report approved.

The same year Ezekiel Hyde and others pc- titioned for a road along the North Branch to the State line, and for another one to Tioga Point, both to start from the " forks," which, by reason of its location in the most populous part of the valley, had become the centre for the transaction of business. In 1802 the road from Joab Pickett's, south, along the Deer Lick, was laid out, the viewers having been appointed the previous year. At this time the principal officers of the old township of Rush were Ja- bez Hyde, Jr., assessor ; Joab Pickett and Ste- phen Willson, road supervisors; and Aden Stevens, collector. The two last named lived in the extreme parts of the township, about eighteen miles apart. The former lived in what is now Bridgewater, and the latter at Stevensville, in Bradford County. The county- seat of Luzerne County was seventy miles dis- tant, "to which the scanty taxes-only one hundred and thirty dollars-gathered by a thousand miles travel through trackless swamp and forests, were conveyed. Few, if any, re- main, whose names were then on the list." Colonel Aden Stevens died July 28, 1858, aged eighty-eight.

Most of the cabins of the first settlers were near the creek and across the road, as it was located, from the houses at present. Nearly all these old land-marks have been obliterated, so that the site of most of them cannot be located by the present inhabitants. The Leonard farm, in the upper part of the township, passed into the hands of Colonel Ephraim Knowlton, in 1806, who occupied it until his death, in 1838. John Hancock moved to the Elijah Adams farm, and built a house which is still standing. Subsequently the farms became the property of Robert Reynolds. John Jay located on the clearing made by Walter Lathrop, where Levi Shore lived, after 1814. Alanson Lung settled on the Salmon Brown place, which in later years has been known as the Elder H. H. Gray farm. Ichabod Terry, a son-in-law of Dan

Metcalf, settled on the latter's farm, remaining until his death, in 1849. Dennis and William Granger came from Vermont in 1812, and located at Rush village. The former lived until recent years ; the latter was killed while assisting to raise the barn on the old Warren Lung farm. Their descendants remained in this locality, which from this circumstance has sometimes been called Grangerville. A number of other settlers came within the next few years, somne of whom were not permanent. Hezekialı Law and Daniel Roots are remembered as be- longing to this class. Jabez Sumner came and opened a farm on Deer Lick Creek.

Francis Pepper came to Rush township, from Litchfield County, Conn., in 1812, and com- menced in the wilderness, on a ridge north of the Wyalusing Creek, since known as Devine Ridge, on the place now owned by William Wilcox. Hc preceded his family, and returned as far as the Delware, where he met his wife and two children coming on horseback. Two years later, in 1814, his brother Philander, who had just returned from service in the War of 1812, joined him, and commenced clearing the farm adjoining, now owned by Bela Griffin. The two brothers suffered many hardships in- cident to pioneer life. They often carried their grain on their backs, sixteen miles down the Wyalusing, to get it ground. Francis was a good carpenter, and in going to and from his work, at what is now Skinner's Eddy, he carried a lighted torch to keep off the wolves, and found his way by marked trees. They lost one child by sickness, and another by a falling tree. Mrs. Pepper became so lonely that they moved to Skinner's Eddy. He afterwards removed to Auburn township, where he had a good farm. Subsequently he removed to Brushville, near the line in Bradford County, and finally died with his son William, in Cameron County, aged eighty-five. His wife was Ann Starr, a step- daughter of Thaddeus Peet, a Revolutionary soldier, who came to Susquehanna County, and lived with his son-in-law. His wife died in Auburn about 1835, and he died a few years later. Francis Pepper's children were Phebe Ann, wife of Surrel P. Maxfield, a farmer who lived in Auburn first, and finally in Tuscarora

township, Bradford County. Their children were Ann E., wife of Luman Dickason, by whom she had three children; Alfred Estes is her second husband. They lived in Rush, near Elk Lake, until recently. Hannah M., wife· of Samuel Griffin. Almira E., wife of S. B. Stevens, of Stevensville, Bradford County. Francis A. Maxfield lives in Illinois. William Pepper, of the original family, removed to Em- porium, Cameron County ; Almon resides there also, and Harry is living at Rockford, Ill. Philander H. Pepper, brother of Francis, sold his place on Devine Ridge, and first purchased one hundred acres of Thomas B. Cope, and cleared most of it. He then purchased one hundred and thirty acres of land adjoining, of Henry Drinker, and cleared up the farm, where he spent the remainder of his life. He cleared more than three hundred acres of land for him- self and others, besides working at the carpen- ter's trade and farming. He also did his full share of hunting and fishing. Deer and trout were plenty then. He killed two deer at one shot, two different times. He lived to be ninety- one years old, and was as straight as an arrow, and active in the field with a scythe, or in the woods with an axe, almost up to the day of his death. He had a fair education for his day, and taught school a number of terins wlien he lived on Devine Ridge. His first wife was Polly Mead, and they raised a large family of children. John Pepper resided on the farm now owned by Albert Butterfield, who has erected a large summer hotel near the mineral spring. John was treed by the wolves while hunting several miles from home in the dense forest, and was compelled to stay there all night. He was killed by a horse kicking him in 1878. His only daughter is the wife of William Deuel of Binghamton. Mary Ann was the wife of David Hillis, a farmer in Rush ; Melissa is the wife of Jos. White, a farmer in Rush, and lias six girls. Orlo Palmer was hier only son by her first husband, William Palmer. Elizabeth was the wife of Henry Devine. Two of her boys, Alden and Henry, reside in Rush. Hannah was the wife of Hamilton Banner, of Lenox ; Orinda, wife of Isaac Dcucl, farmer near Birchard- ville; Marantha Caroline, wife of Nathaniel

Pickering, who resided in Lenox ; Anna, wife of Chandler Edwards, a jeweler; Andrew Jackson Pepper, has the homestead ; Seymour L. and Hamilton L., reside in Boone County, Iowa ; Philander J., married Ellen Bullard, and resides in Williamsport; Sally Frink, second wife, resides on the homestead with her stepson, Andrew J. Pepper.

In 1813 the whole number of residents pay- ing taxes in the township of Rush as it then was-extending from Auburn to the State line, and being eight miles wide-did not exceed one hundred and eighty. In 1814, after Choconut and Middletown were taken off, but with the western half of Jessup remaining, the following were the taxables :

James Agard, Benjamin Abbott, John Abbott, Salmon Brown, Wil- liam A. Burnham, Salmon Bradshaw, John Blaisdell, Pliny Birchard, Robinson Bolles, Jacob Bump, George Brink, Isaac Brownson, William Cook, James Cook, Jacob Cooley, Benjamin Chase, Horace Dimock, David Dond, Abner Griffis, John Griffis, William Granger, Dennis Granger, Frederick Gibson, James Hinds, Jesse Hancock, Jabez Hyde, Ephraim Knowlton, Walter Lathrop, William Lathrop, Alfred Lathrop, Hezekiah Lee, Daniel Lampson, Warren Lung, Joseph Marsh, Ebenezer Pickett, Jr., Joab Pickett, Francis Pepper, Philan der Pepper, Daniel Root, Herman Robinson, Daniel Ross, John B. Rodman, Clement Sum- ner, Alanson Sibley, Ichabod Terry, Heury Tupper.

WILLIAM H. SHERWOOD .- Fanton (1771- 1843) and Eunice (Lyon) Sherwood, his grandparents, natives of Connecticut, where they were married, moved to Sullivan County, New York, and settled on a farm near Liberty. Their children were Elizabeth, born 1790; Nathan J. (1793-1870) ; J. Munson, born 1795; Polly, 1797 ; Amos O., 1799, was the father of J. Lewis Sherwood, of Preston Spring, Wayne County, an influential citizen and one of the commissioners of that county ; John F., born 1802; Roseville R., 1804, is a farmer residing at Liberty, N. Y .; L. Hanford, 1806 ; Emily, 1808, is the wife of Samuel Bradley and lives near New York ; Bradley B., born 1813, recently celebrated lis golden wed- ding in Nebraska.

Nathan J. Sherwood, born in Connecticut, removed with his parents to Sullivan County, and was engaged in mercantile business at White Lake for a number of years. In 1812 he married Sally W., the daughter of Wake- man Thorp, who bore him Philo (1814-82), was a miller in Rush, afterwards kept a hotel at Friendville, then at Ceder Rapids, Iowa,

and moved to Montana, where he died a year or so after ; Fanton, born 1816, is a physician in Sullivan County, N. Y .; Wakeman E. (1818-47), a merchant in Georgia at the time of his death ; and Thomas, born 1819, liveryman at Inde- pendence, Iowa. Mrs. Sally Sherwood died in 1821, and the following year Mr. Sherwood married Hannalı Thorp (1802-57), cousin of his first wife, and by her had children,-Lyman M. (1823-40); Amos (1825-80), was a farmer in Harford ; William H .; Sally W., born 1830, resides in Ruslı ; Elizabeth (1833-76), married Zenas L. Cooley, a miller in this township, who died in 1874, aged forty-three years; Abigail, born 1835, married, first, Daniel Moore of Bradford County, and second, John Fesler, and is now living at Batavia, Ill .; and Nathan H. (1839-40)-all born at Pleasant Mount, Wayne County, whither they had removed just after their marriage. Nathan J. Sherwood entered the hotel and store business at this latter point and was a popular landlord until the spring of 1840, when he came to Susquehanna County and bought the farm upon which his son, William H., still resides ; also the grist-mill on that property and saw-mill one mile northeast. His son, Philo, managed the grist-mill a num- ber of years, while he attended the saw-mill business himself for a few years and then sold, proposing to devote himself to his farm and grist-mill interests. Finally, disposing of the latter to his son-in-law, he retired from active work. Mr. Sherwood was a stirring man of affairs ; upright in his every transaction. He

was a man of good influence, and largely bene- fited its circle. He was justice of the peace for four terms, and was a general arbitrator for the neighborhood. William H. Sherwood, born August 9, 1827, acquired that self- reliance, individual thought, promptness and integrity which are so noticeably his charac- teristics. Privileged to enjoy but limited school facilities, in later years he became a student of men and affairs, and obtained a valuable and wide range of practical knowledge suited to his chosen life-work, that of a farmer, in which he has made a marked success. Dur- ing the late Rebellion he was a warm supporter of the National Government, and as school

director was active in filling the township quota, besides giving of his own means. He early became a Republican in politics and has retained an ardent devotion to the principles of that party. He has been auditor of the town- ship for several terms. He was elected county commissioner in 1878 and served satisfactorily one term. During this time he introduced cer- tain measures of reform which have since remained therein. He was candidate for leg- islative honors before the nominating conven- tion of 1874, by which body Hons. S. Falkenbury and W. W. Williams were non- inated. For about thirty-two years Mr. Sher- wood accommodated travelers in his large and comfortable home. In 1853 he married Martha Jane (1830-62), only daugliter of Joel and Martha (Griffis) Turrell, one of the oldest families of Forest Lake township. Her

brothers are Wilson J., now supervisor on a railroad in Washington Territory ; and Morris, a farmer at Garnett, Anderson County, Kansas, who has been one of the commissioners of that county. The children of William H. and Martha (Turrell) Sherwood are Mary E., born 1853, the wife of Hon. H. H. Hinds, of Stan- ton, Mich. Henry H. Hinds is a son of Pre- served Hinds, of Little Meadows, this county. He enlisted for the Rebellion in the Fifty-seventh Regiment, rose from the ranks to be colonel of a regiment, was shot through the lungs, and captured by the rebels and confined in Libby Prison, whence he escaped, being one of that well-remembered band who dug their way out. Recaptured by the enemy, he was again placed in Libby Prison and retained there nntil the close of the war. He thien removed to Stanton, Mich., and is a prominent stock-raiser, influ- ential in politics and lias been State Senator ; Eva Sherwood, died in infancy; Jennie E., born 1862, at home. In 1863 Mr. Sherwood married Jerusha (born 1828), a daughter of Henry J. (1797-1867), native of Broome County, N. Y., and Julia (Gates) Champion (1808-70), native of Massachusetts. Mr.

Champion settled in Rush in 1839, was a farmer and had children, Adelia, -- residing with Mr. Sherwood ; Jerusha (Mrs. W. H. Sher- wood); Johnson D., a farmer in Bradford

County ; Julia R., married first Dudley Bailey, of Le Raysville, and is now the wife of L. M. Sherwood, a pension attorney, of Binghamton ; and Henry R. Champion, who served in the Rebellion as sergeant of Company C, Thirty- fifth Pennsylvania Militia, and died Septem- ber 18, 1863, of army typhoid fever shortly after being honorably discharged upon the disbanding of his regiment.

Other settlers followed, in 1816, Lloyd Goodsell, Robert Estes and John M. Brownson ; in 1819, Larry Dunmore, Jacob Eaton, William Lathrop, Jr., and John Hancock. The latter lived on the present J. H. Hall place, on Lake Creek, near the Dimock line. Here Samuel Hall settled in 1838 and lived until his death, in 1864. G George Devine also came in 1819 and settled on the ridge of land, in the north- eastern part of the township, which still bears his name. West of them were the improve- ments of the Tuppers. On the North Branch, Fairfield Canfield began making improvements, which soon attracted other settlers to that lo- cality. Within the next five years Russell Very, Isaac Deuel, David Shove and Thomas Dewees were among the settlers. Soon after a number of Irish families were added to the population, David Hillis being the first and coming in 1836. Patrick Carroll came three years later, and Patrick Redding in 1839. James Logan came in 1841, and his family and the Fitzpatricks and the Rooneys have opened some of the best farms in the township. Since 1845 the influx of Irish immigrants has been steady, until a large proportion of tlic inhabitants, at the present time, arc foreign or native-born Irish. They have become use- ful, active citizens, and through their energy and perseverance the township has been placed among the leading agricultural sections of the county.

In 1847, after a part of Rush had been taken off to form Jessup, and the township had nearly the same limits it now has, the following were taxables :

Benj. Abbott, Philemon Abbott, Selah Abbott, Angustus Bixby, Rich- and Bixby, George Bramble, B. S.

JOSEPH S. HILLIS was born in Rush town- ship April 30, 1846, the second child of Na- thaniel (born 1812) and Mary Anne (Crawford) (born 1821) Hillis. The Hillis family were for many generations comfortable farmers in the parish of Clontibret, County Monaghan, Ireland, owning and tilling what is there consid- ered a fairly large tract of land. The parents of Nathaniel Hillis were James and Nancy (McCrea) Hillis, and his grandparents were Nathaniel and Catharine (Bell) Hillis, all of whom were born and raised in County Mona- ghan, and died npon the home farm at Corrush. This property was inherited by Nathaniel Hillis, who was married January 26, 1843, and the next spring, having determined to cast his lot in the New World, he sold it and came to America, settling in Rush township. He is a warm-hearted, earnest man, and early associated himself with the religiously inclined persons of the township, and has remained an active sup-

porter of church work since. He was one of the organizers of the Rushville Presbyterian Church, and one of its building committee, and for about twenty-five years has acted as a dea- con. He moved to the present home in 1871. The children of Nathaniel and Mary (Crawford) Hillis are James, born in Ireland in 1843, en- listed for the suppression of the Rebellion in Company K, Two Hundred and Third Regi- ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was cap- tured before Petersburg, Va., the first night he was on picket duty.
