-Simon Sallade .- There are few citizens of the county of Dauphin who are not familiar with the name and valuable services of Simon Sallade, one of the representative men of this district forty years ago, and concern- ing whom we have been able to glean the biographical data which herewith follows:
Simon Sallade was born near Gratz, Dau- phin county, Pa., on the 7th of March, 1785. His father, John Sallade, of French Hugue- not descent, was a native of Bosel on the Rhine, born in March, 1739, emigrated, with other members of his family, to America at an early period, and was among the first settlers on the Wieonisco. He died at the age of SS years, in November, 1827, being blind about ten years before his death. He mar- ried on the Sth of February, 1771, Margaret Everhart, daughter of George Everhart, born in Berks county in 1747, and concerning whom we have the following incident. Upon the Indian incursions on the east side of the Susquehanna, subsequent to the defeat of Braddock, in the fall of 1755, she was taken eaptive by the savage marauders, near what is now Pine Grove, Schuylkill county. She was an unwilling witness to the scenes of murder and atrocity, when the merciless In- dians tomahawked and sealped her parents, brothers and sisters, and beheld the home of her birth illuminating by its red glare the mid- night sky, while only she of all her friends was left-and she a prisoner with the cruel and blood-thirsty savage. Doubtless there was some attractiveness of person or piteous- ness of appeal which saved her life. Of the wearisome years of her captivity among the Indians, west of the Ohio, we have little knowledge. It is not, however, until the power of the French on the beautiful river was broken by the courage and skill of Gen- eral Forbes, that the little prisoner was rescued and returned to her friends in Berks county. She lived to a ripe old age. Jolin Sallade had five sons and two daughters, Simon be- ing next to the youngest. Simon Sallade, owing to the want of schools in those early
days in the valley, was obliged to depend upon the educational instruction given by his parents, but being an apt scholar, it was not long before he mastered the main branches in a good education. He was a great reader, and, although books were few in those days, he read and re-read those fall- ing into his hands. Later in life, toward manhood's years, he acquired considerable knowledge by the aid of a teacher, whom he and some of the young men of his neighbor- , hood employed for that purpose. He was quite a performer on the violin and being of a social nature, he was often the center and life of many winter evening gatherings of that time.
Mr. Sallade was a mill-wright by trade, acquiring much of his proficiency in that vocation from an apprenticeship to Jacob Berkstresser, of Bellefonte. Many of the old mills within 30 or 40 miles of his home, were of his designing, and in fact the workman- ship of his hand. A self-made man, ener- getie, social and industrious, he became in time one of the most popular men of the Upper End.
His constant contact with the people of all classes in social life or business relations re- sulted in his taking warm interest in politi- cal affairs. Although a politician, he was such for the advancement of the publie good. He was a Democrat of the old school, and when named for office, he appealed to the people instead of the party for support. . Ile was four times elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. First, in the years 1819 and 1820, at the age of 34; next in 1836-7, at the age of 51 years; and again in 1853, when he was in his 69th year. Each time the Whigs were largely in the majority. in Dauphin county, yet always when put in nomination by the Democratie party, Mr. Sallade, save in one instance, was elected. This defeat was due in part to a letter written at the time to Charles C. Rawn, Esq., chairman of the temperance committee, in which he announced his opposition to the passage of the Maine liquor law. His letter was bold and outspoken. He did not con- ceal his opinions for the purpose of sailing into office under false colors. He might have done as latter-day politicians do, as did his opponents at that time-evaded the question and deceived the voter. Simon Sallade preferred defeat to deception-that the honorable career that he had made and sustained for political integrity and honesty

HISTORICAL REVIEW
should lose nothing of its lustre in his de- clining years.
During his term in the Legislature he was the author of what was generally known asthe " Wiconisco Feeder Bill." To his zeal and tact, that important legislation for the Upper End of Dauphin county, owes its passage. Through this outlet the Lykens Valley coal fields were first developed. He was the superintendent for the construction of the Wiconisco canal, and held the appointment through the canal commissioners. 1
Simon Sallade died at the old homestead, near Elizabethville, on the Sth of November, 1854, and is interred in the village grave- yard at that place. His wife was Jane Wood- side, daughter of John Woodside, of Lykens Valley. She died September 3, 1854, and is buried in the same graveyard. They had issue as follows: Margaret, m. John J. Bow- man, of Millersburg; Ann, m. Edward Biekel ; Jane, m. Daniel K. Smith; Simon, Jacob, John, George, and Joseph.
There are many heartlistones, writes one who knew Simon Sallade well, and to whom we are greatly indebted for much of the in- formation herewith given, in Lykens Valley, where the story of his sociability, hospitality, humor, honesty, and his many deeds of charity, are rehearsed by those of the fathers of the present generation who never saw or knew him, except from the traditionary his- tory which is part and parcel of every family and community.
Jolin Peter Willard, of Huguenot descent, was a native of Switzerland, born in 1745. He came to America as a soldier in the Brit- ish service, but shortly after landing effected his escape. He then volunteered in the cause of the Colonies, and was with other de- serters stationed on the Indian frontier or as guard of prisoners of war. At the close of the Revolution he took up a tract of land in Lykens township,called "Amsterdam," where he settled, began farming and subsequently married. He died in 1821, at the age of sev- enty-six. His wife died the following year (1822) aged seventy-seven. They left the following family : Adam, who came into pos- session of the homestead ; his children, Jo- seph, John A., Henry B. and Adam, Jr., then divided the farm; part of it yet remains in possession of the descendants; Samuel re- mained in the valley, a farmer, and had a large family; Anna Maria married John Philip Umholtz.
The Lykens Valley Coal Development.
The Wiconisco Coal Company, named for Wiconisco creek in the northeastern portion of the county, was organized in 1831, com- posed of six members-Simon Gratz, Samuel Richards, George H. Thompson, Charles Rockland Thompson, all of Philadelphia, and Henry Schriner and Henry Sheafer, both of Dauphin county. They began work at opening their mines by drifts in the gap at Bear Creek, and sold coal in the vicinity in 1832. The first miners were three Eng- lishmen-James Todoff, John Brown and William Ilall, who came from Schuylkill county.
The Lykens Valley railroad was located by Mr. Ashwin, an English civil engineer, and extended from the mines in Bear Gap, sixteen miles, to the Susquehanna river, along the north foot of Berry's mountain. This road was constructed under the direc- tion of John Paul, civil engineer, Henry Sheafer, superintendent, and Simon Sallade, director. The road was completed and began transporting coal in 1834 by horse power, on a flat strip rail. A number of ark loads of coal were shipped from Millersburg in March and April, 1834. Then the coal cars were boated across the Susquehanna, from the terminus of the railroad at Millersburg to Mt. Patrick, on the opposite side of the canal, in Perry county. This site was for- merly owned by Peter Ritner, brother of Governor Ritner. Here the Lykens Valley company had a set of schutes on the Penn- sylvania canal, where they shipped their coal to market. The first boat load of Lykens Valley coal was sent on Saturday, April 19, 1834, by boat " 76," forty-three tons, Capt. C. France, consigned to Thomas Baldridge, Columbia, Pa.
Shipments continued in this manner until 1845, when the railroad was worn out, and abandoned until 1848. Then a portion of the railroad was regraded, and all laid with new " T" rail. The Wiconisco canal was built and shipments resumed in 1848, and have continued ever since. Up to and including 1858, the total shipment of coal from the Lykens Valley mines, from the beginning, amounted to eight hundred and forty-eight thousand, seven hundred and eighty-one tons, and the grand total shipments on the Susquehanna were three millions, two hun- dred and thirty-four thousand, seven hun- dred and eighty-one tons, which included

shipments of eoal by the Union eanal and other avenues as follows :
The Shamokin railroad was opened in 1839.
The Dauphin and Susquehanna in 1854. The Treverton railroad in 1855.
At this carly day of the coal trade, this portion of the country was wild and seemed far removed in the woods. Lykens Valley is the broad expanse, three to five miles in width, of fertile red shale soil between the Mahantango mountain on the north and Berry's mountain on the south, with the Sus- quehanna river as its boundary line on the west. Its eastern portion is a distanee of twelve miles from the river, and is sub-di- vided into two smaller valleys, the main or northern one extending some ten miles cast to the valley of the Mahanoy creek. The south portion is named after its early settler, Williams, who built a grist mill near Will- iamstown, also named after him.
Andrew Lycans, the Pioneer of the Wiconisco Valley.
In 1723 Andrew Lycans (not Lycan) settled on the Swatara ereck, where he took up two hundred and fifty acres of land ad- joining lands of Robert Young and Lazarus Stewart, and which was surveyed to him on the 4th of April, 1737. About 1740 he seems to have sold out, and removed with a num- ber of others to the west side of the Susque- hanna, where he settled and made some im- provements on a tract of land between Shear- man's creek and the Juniata, in then Cumberland county. This not being in- eluded in the then last Indian purchase, the Shawanese, who had a few scattered villages on the Juniata, complained of the encroach- ments of these settlers and demanded their removal. To pacify the Indians, the l'ro- vincial authorities sent, in 1748, the sheriff of Lancaster county, with three magistrates, accompanied by Conrad Weiser, to warn the people to leave at once. But, notwithstand- ing all this, the settlers remained, determined not to be driven away at least by threats.
On the 22d of May, 1740, after more decisive measures had been decided upon by the Provincial government, a number of high dignitaries who had been appointed by the lieutenant governor, held a conference at the house of George Croghan in Penns- boro' township, Cumberland county. Sub- sequently, accompanied by the under-sheriff of that county, they went to the place where
Lyeans and others lived, and after taking the settlers into custody burned their cabins to the number of five or six .*
They were subsequently released by order of the governor of the Province, when An- drew Lycans removed with his family to the east side of the Susquehanna beyond the Kittatinny mountains, and by permission of the authorities, settled on a traet of about two hundred acres, situated on the northerly side of Whiconescong ereck." Here he made " considerable improvements," which we learn from a document in our possession.
Until the spring of 1756 these pioneers on the Wiconisco were not disturbed in their homes, but following the defeat of Braddock, everywhere along the frontier the savages began their work of devastation and death. Their implacable ernelty was stimulated by the promise of reward for scalps on the part of the French, beside the further one of be- ing put into possession of their lands. On the morning of the 7th of March, 1756, An- drew Lycans and John Rewalt went out early to fodder their eattle, when two guns were fired at them. Neither being harmed, they ran into the house, and prepared them- selves for defense in ease of an attack. The Indians then got under cover of a hog house near the dwelling honse, when John Lycans, a son of Andrew, John Rewalt and Ludwig Shott, a neighbor, erept out of the house in order to get a shot at them, but were fired upon by the savages, and all wounded, the latter (Shott) in the abdomen. At this moment Andrew Lycans saw one of the In- dians over the hog honse, and also two white men running out of the same, and get a little distanee therefrom. Upon this, Ly- cans and his party attempted to escape, but were pursued by the Indians to the number of sixteen or upwards. John Lycans and Rewalt, being badly wounded and not able

to do anything, with a negro, who was with them, made off, leaving Andrew Lycans, Shott and a boy engaged with the Indians. The savages pursued them so closely that one of them coming up to the boy was going to strike his tomahawk into him, when Lud- wig Shott turned and shot him dead, while Lycans killed two more and wounded sev- cral in addition. At last, being exhausted and wounded, they sat down on a log to rest themselves; but the Indians were some- what cautious and stood some distance from them, and subsequently returned to look after their own wounded. Lycans and all his party managed to get over the moun- tain into Hanover township, where they were properly cared for. Here Andrew Ly- cans died, leaving a wife, Jane Lycans, and children, John, Susanna, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Mary, and Margaret. It is not known when Lycans' family, with the other settlers, returned to their homes in the Wieonisco Valley-but not until all danger was over; and although on a subsequent occasion they were obliged to leave all and flee before the marauding sav- ages, yet the one alluded to was the only in- stance where they so narrowly escaped with their lives. Besides, the erection of the forts at Shamokin (Sunbury) and at Armstrong's (Halifax) and at MeKee's, at the foot of Berry's mountain, was perchance ample pro- tection from the annual marauds of the In- dians, which up to the year 1764 kept the frontier inhabitants in a terrible state of ap- prehension and fear.
John Lycans, son of Andrew, became an officer of the Provincial service, commis- sioned July 12, 1762. In June, 1764, he was stationed at Manada Gap. It is prob- able he removed from the valley prior to the Revolution. His mother, Jane Lycans, in February, 1765, had a patent issued to her for the land on which her husband had located. The Lycans cabin stood until about twenty years ago on McClure's farm, owned at present by H. L. Lark. Ludwig Shott died about 1790, and left a large family ; some of his descendants remain in the val- ley. Rewalt subsequently removed to the now thickly settled portion of the Province.
Andrew Lycans has given his name to this beautiful valley of the Wiconisco, owing perchance to the terrible encounter with the Indians as narrated. The orthography has been changed within the last fifty years, but we have not learned the reason therefore.
Whether Lykens, or Lycans, we trust that no attempt may ever be made to deprive the first pioneer of the name which has been appropriately given to it.
CHAPTER VI. Genealogical Notes.
In the absence of town records, much diffi- culty is daily experienced by those in search of the records of their ancestry. In Penn- sylvania, save among the carly Quakers, the abstracts of wills, the assessment lists. the ad- ministration accounts, with an occasional deed, are the only fields for genealogical re- search prior to the war of the Revolution. Owing to this fact, and to preserve to the people of Dauphin county, and to the de- scendants of those who have gone out from it and are scattered over many States of the Federal Union. we have compiled the follow- ing abstracts of wills pertaining to that sec- tion of Lancaster county which, after 1785, became the county of Dauphin. The history of the family is becoming of far greater im- portance than the general history of public affairs or that of the individual. We feel confident, that in the preservation in this volume of these beginnings of the early family history of the pioneers and other set- tlers, we do excellent service; and, therefore, tender them to those into whose hands this Encyclopedia of Biography may fall, believ- ing that no other chapter contained within the covers of the volume will be more highly appreciated. At the present time, when on all sides efforts are being made to preserve the history of the family, no better lexicon of genealogy can be found in any local his- torical volume.
