(The Holeman Line).
Mrs. Nancy Agnes (Holeman) Dale is a descendant of Eli Holeman, who came to what is now Forest county about the year 1800, the first bona fide white settler in the county. He settled at what has ever since been known as
368
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
Holeman's Flat, on the Allegheny river, in the spring of 1800, and there continued to reside until his death. He was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, about 1755, and during the revolution served with the Pennsylvania militia at the battles of Brandywine, German- town, and in other battles of the war for inde- pendence. His father was also a soldier of the revolution, both receiving as pay the wortliless Continental money of that day. After the war he spent five years in Northumberland, which was then on the frontier, and there he was again forced to fight on many occasions the fierce Indians of that section. His father was taken prisoner by the savages, and on one occasion he had barely time to secrete his fam- ily and himself in the dense woods surrounding his cabin, before a whooping murderous band of Indians attacked and robbed it, but merci- fully spared its destruction. After the county had become a trifle less dangerous he moved further west to Lycoming, and in 1800 to Holeman's Flats. There he took up land and established a ferry across the Allegheny, which was the only ferry north of Kittanning. After the state road was established from Milesburg to Waterford, Holeman's Ferry became quite an important point, as many of the pioneers of western Pennsylvania crossed at that point. His nearest early neighbors were Moses Hicks, who lived near where David G. Hunter now lives, and Patrick McCrea, who settled at what is now known as Eagle Rock. There were, however, a number of "squatters" within a radius of a few miles. There the old pioneer hero lived and prospered until his death in 1825, founding a family prominent in later day county affairs.

Margaret H., married Samuel Rhodes ; children : Samuel, unmarried ; Nancy, married John Burns; Charles, unmarried ; Margaret, married Mr. Collins. 2.

He received his early education in the public schools, and worked on his father's farm until he was seventeen years of age. He learned the trade of plasterer, and later worked for some time in the woods as a lumberman, and then pur- chased a farm of one hundred acres in Wash- ington township. He also purchased later a residence and six acres of land at what is known as Frill's Corner, in Washington town- ship, where he established a general store which he still conducts.

The McDowell family is McDOWELL descended from Milesius, King of Spain, through the line of his son Heremon; the founder of the family was Colla Meann, son of Escha Dubh- lein, or Doivien, brother of Fiacha Straivet- ine, first King of Conneaught, of the race of Heremon, and son of Carbre Liffeachair, King of Ireland, A. D. 264. The ancient name was Doill, which signifies "blind." The posses- sions of the sept were located in the present county of Donegal, many also of the family having settled in Antrim. The McDowells were among the most notable descendants of the royal branch of the Clan Colla. There were many descendants of the Ulster family among the Irish who in the early part of the last cen- tury, about 1710, settled in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, in the territory now embraced in the counties of Patrick and Rock- bridge.
A prominent member of the old family in Ireland during the last century was Patrick McDowell, R. A., born in Belfast in 1799. He attained highest eminence as a sculptor, among his most notable works being "Virginius and His Daughter," "Eve," "Psyche," and the group typical of "Europe" in the Albert Memo- rial, Hyde Park, London. He died in 1870.
(I) William McDowell, the immigrant an- cestor of the present American family, was born in Ireland, coming to this country in the early part of the eighteenth century and set- tling first in Chester county, Pennsylvania. In about 1731 he removed to Lancaster county, a part of which later became Franklin county, where he became the owner of an enormous estate, Parnell, upon which a fort was estab- lished. He was king's magistrate for that part of the country before the revolution, being arbiter in all disputes between varying sects and between the colonists and the Indians. After having been King George's confidential man, he became a Whig at the outbreak of the war and was a most ardent patriot. He con- tinued in the capacity of recruiting officer for the colonies, and was a man of great prom- inence in that part of the country which prior to 1784 was embodied in Cumberland county. It was from this section that many members of the McDowell family and their descendants went forth to serve their country in various ways and helped to make its history. William McDowell had to flee his estate finally on ac- count of Indian troubles, and on February 17, 1782, died in York county, Pennsylvania, near

the town of Wrightsville, being buried at Don- egal Presbyterian Church in Lancaster county. By his wife Mary he had nine children : John, married Agnes Craig ; William, mentioned fur- ther ; Nathan, married Catherine Maxwell, and died June 2, 1801 ; James, married Jane Smith ; Thomas ; Jean, married Archibald Irwin ; Mar- garet, married Robert Newell; Sarah, married William Piper; daughter, married John Rey- nolds.
(II) William (2), son of William (I) and Mary McDowell, was born in 1720, living and dying at Parnell, in Franklin county, on the vast estate which had been his father's before him; this was at or near Bridgeport, in Peters township. He was a colonial recruiting offi- cer ; was appointed ensign, August 13, 1776, under Captain Whitesides, in Colonel Thomas Porter's battalion ; and in 1778 became justice of the peace for Peters township, being a man of great prominence in the county. In 1765, during an uprising of the "Black Boys," who besieged Fort Loudon, he was given by Lieu- tenant Grant, commandant of the fort, the cus- tody of the arms taken from the country peo- ple, and rendered a receipt for five rifles and four smoothbore guns to be held by him until the governor's pleasure in their disposition could be known. At the same time four men executed a bond in £200 Pennsylvania cur- rency to protect him against arrest or action at law. William McDowell died September 17, 1812, and was buried at Waddell's grave- yard at Lebinarten, Pennsylvania, near the old estate. By his will dated in 1807 and probated in 1812, he left several large plantations to his sons. He married Mary Maxwell, born 1728, died April 9, 1805. Children : William, born 1749, was captain in revolution, married Eliza- beth Van Lear, and died June 19, 1835; John, LL.D. at Johns Hopkins, born 1751, died De- cember 22, 1820, unmarried ; Susan, born 1752, married John Martin, died May 17, 1839; James, died young; Mary, married Mr. Ma- gaw, died May 9, 1799; Nathan, born 1758, married Mary McLanahan, died February I, 1830; Alexander, born 1760, mentioned fur- ther ; Andrew, born 1762, married Nancy Mc- Pherson, died January 10, 1846; Margaret, born 1765, married Matthew Maris, died Feb- ruary 17, 1853; Nancy, born 1767, died June 6, 1848; Patrick, born 1769, married Elizabeth Davidson, died April 24, 1846; Thomas, born 1772, married Mollie Davidson, died August 4. 1851.
(III) Colonel Alexander McDowell, son of William (2) and Mary (Maxwell) McDowell, was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, in the year 1760. He was a soldier in the revolu- tionary ·war, being then in his early manhood; and some time after the cessation of hostilities with England became agent for the Holland Land Company, receiving the appointment from them of deputy surveyor in the year 1793. He became the most noted of all the surveyors in northwestern Pennsylvania ; and was one of the most distinguished members of a family that has been prominent and numerous in the public and social life of that portion of Penn- sylvania embraced by the counties east of the mountains since their early settlement. In 1794, after his appointment by the Holland Land Company, he came out to Venango county, Pennsylvania, in their interests, and became one of the earliest pioneers in this re- gion.
Returning east, he was married in 1795 to Miss Sally Parker, a colonial belle of Phila- delphia; and in 1797 he brought his young family out to Venango county, making his permanent home in Franklin, where he became one of the prominent men of the town from the first. In 1796 he received the appointment of justice of the peace from Governor Mifflin, and was an arbiter in all cases of difference between the settlers. He became well acquaint- ed with the celebrated Cornplanter, whose land he surveyed and whose home he assisted in establishing to the lasting gratitude and friend- ship of the Indian chief; and through his kindly spirit and fair dealings won the esteem and loyalty of all the neighboring tribes. He and his little family were thus enabled to live in peace and security, fearing naught, though the Indians were oftentimes noisy and intoxi- cated in their encampments across the creek, whooping and yelling sometimes half the night.
At the time that Colonel McDowell estab- lished his home in Franklin the town had been laid out about a year, and there were but four or five families in the place. The McDowell family at first resided in a log house, the prop- erty of the Holland Land Company, which was located on the bank of the creek near the site of the present Venango mills. It was with- out windows or doors, as there was no car- penter in the place to construct these, and the openings were hung with blankets. Colonel McDowell erected a more commodious log house for his family on Elk street, below

Eleventh, which was later weatherboarded and eventually became comfortably equipped and furnished, and (after the erection of a stone addition about the year 1803) was con- sidered one of the two finest residences in Franklin. The first wall paper in the town was introduced by the McDowells for their home; the paper came from Philadelphia in sheets, and being thick and strong, lasted until the destruction of the old house in 1874; the design pictured boys and dogs in blue upon a light ground, and was greatly admired by the neighbors.
When the county was organized in 1800, Colonel McDowell was appointed one of the trustees to superintend its affairs, until com- missioners were elected in 1805: he was then elected first county treasurer. In 1801 he was appointed first postmaster of Franklin. He had been one of the earliest patrons of Edward Hale at his trading post at Fort Franklin in 1798 : and in 1801, as one of the town trustees, signed the lease of a part of the public square to him, "at the rate of one dollar a year until the ground which the said Hale has now in cultivation is wanted for public use."
Colonel McDowell died January 4, 1816, at the age of fifty-six years. According to portraits yet extant, he seems to have been a gentle- man of the old school, sedate, dignified, and well accustomed to the amenities of life and social usages. He was a Presbyterian, as his ancestors had been, and as many of his de- scendants have remained, and when as late as 1801 there had been no preacher in Franklin of any denomination he doubtless was instru- mental in securing the services of a clergy- man, presumably of his own creed, who ar- rived in the year named and preached at the homes of the citizens until a suitable structure was erected for church and school.
Mrs. McDowell, who had been Miss Sarah Parker, of Philadelphia, survived her husband nearly half a century, dying at the extreme old age of one hundred and two years. She was born in the Quaker City on September II, 1763, and was the daughter of Captain Parker, who died in her early childhood. Her mother, who was a Miss Elizabeth Adam, and whose mother in turn was a Miss Sarah Jones, married again after Captain Parker's death, her second husband being Thomas Skelly, a sea captain, who died in 1806. Sarah Parker resided with her stepfather in Philadelphia
until the time of her marriage, being a noted belle in those days. She was small, sliglit and graceful, had great personal beauty, and was witty and charming. She exchanged her earlier life of refinement and ease for the privations attending a pioneer's wife with the cheerful- ness and philosophy of her courageous char- acter, and lived to see the poverty and hardship of the first few years give way to the rich de- velopment of after days; having been at all times equal to the occasion and a helpful and friendly neighbor in her crude surroundings. She had brought with her into the wilderness where she came as a young wife, a chest full of the finery of her former days, silk and vel- vet gowns, laces and jewelry, keeping these as relics of her earlier life.
In the pioneer days she was energetic and resourceful to a degree ; preserving and man- aging her little household with frugality, bar- tering with the Indians for provisions and matching her quick wits against theirs, win- ning their esteem and loyal friendship and that of her white neighbors as well. In the after days she had many reminiscences to re- late of the town and its growth, describing the clearing by moonlight of the bushes and stumps from what is now the park; the pur- chase of fish from the Indian fishermen, and their rooted distrust of the white woman's honesty until it was well proven; and telling how upon one occasion when a hen had eaten the few cucumber seeds which she had drying on a table for the next season's crop, she cut open with a pair of scissors the craw of the fowl, recovered the seed, sewed up the wound with a needle and thread, which was appar- ently not heeded, and thus preserved both seed and fowl for her future household supplies.
After the death of her husband in 1816, Mrs. McDowell continued to reside in the old home; and in 1823 and 1824 was recorded as keeping house there with her three sons. In 1826 she donated to St. John's Church a lot valued at seventy-five dollars. Her death oc- curred September 25 (or 27), 1865, at the home of her son ( Thomas S.), where she passed the last few years of her life after leaving the old homestead (that was less than half a square away). Only two of her chil- dren survived her and she had lived until she was weary of life, peacefully passing away in the third year after she had attained the cen- tury mark. The town had grown strange to
