Isabella Elgin, his wife, was a daughter of Michael Truby, one of the first and most promi- nent settlers of Kittanning. She was born March 10, 1820. Samnel and Isabella Elgin were the parents of fourteen children, eleven of whom are still upon and around the old homestead. The names of those still living are as follows : Jere- miah, Rebecca, Ellen, Samuel, Isabella E., Martha Jane, Margaret R., Jane T., George L., William S. and Robert B. Those deceased are Amanda, Alexander and John A. S. Elgin.

COWANSHANNOCK TOWNSHIP.

he was first assessed in 1829. They subsequently conveyed as follows : To Abraham Rosenberger, 2163 acres of allotment 8, September 17, 1828, for $108.25, 122 acres of which Rosenberger conveyed to Abraham Hill, April 28, 1837, for $300, and to Joseph Hill 1162 acres, March 14, 1837, for $230.

The Timothy Pickering & Co. lands in this town- ship lay to the east of the Findley lands and con- sisted of the following tracts: No. 25, 11324 acres. The carliest permanent white settler on it was William Kirkpatrick. In or about 1800 he com- menced occupying 200 acres of its northwestern part, and with which he was assessed, successively, in Toby, Kittanning, Plum Creek and Wayne townships, and which James Potter Murry, a devisee of Gen. Potter, conveyed to him, Septem- ber 28, 1807, for $800, payable in annual install- ments, without interest. In the same instrument Murry agreed to deliver to Kirkpatrick a good and sufficient title in three years, and Kirkpatrick agreed to secure the payment of the purchase money by bond and mortgage. Murry was enabled to comply with his part of the agreement by these 200 acres having been conveyed to him by Potter's executors, May 19, 1810, and by the granting of the patent therefor to him, January 12, 1813. In April he consummated the performance of his covenant by delivering his deed to Kirkpatrick, whose name appears on the northwestern part of No. 25, on the map of original tracts. After resid- ing there about thirty years, he removed to the Blaine tract No. 553," with 150 acres of which he assessed in and after 1831. He conveyed that part of No. 25 to William Porter, April 17, 1832, for $1,300. Porter conveyed 194 acres and 89 perches of it to John Cowan, May 8, 1837, for $1,960, on which there is a log barn which was raised about 1808, which, although now under its third roof, is still a substantial structure. It required two days to notify the men then living within a circuit of thirty miles of such a raising. Until as late as 1834 trees suitable for building-logs on this and adjoining tracts were considered common property. If any one saw a tree which would answer his pur- pose, either on the tract on which he had settled or on any other, he appropriated it to his own use, without leave from any one and without the appre- hension of litigation.

Another early settler on No. 25 was William Cochran, Sr., who was first assessed with 250 acres of it in 1811, which had been devised by Gen. Potter to John P. McMillen, to whom his executors conveyed the same, consisting partly of tract No. 11, August 19, 1815, and which he conveyed to

Cochran, December 2, 1816, for $500. Another portion became vested in Samuel Cochran. Will- iam and Samuel Cochran united in conveying 302 acres and 17 perches (except 20 acres of the east end) to Archibald L. Robinson, July 18, 1826, for $1,500, which he conveyed to James E. Brown, June 21, 1839, for $3,650.

Two hundred and fifty acres of Nos. 25 and 11 were devised to Thomas Potter, who conveyed the same to William Marshall, June 18, 1814, for $550, with which the latter was first assessed in 1828, and as a tanner in 1829. He conveyed it as con- taining 265 acres and 117 perches, to Samuel Pat- terson, December 10, 1835, for $1,200, which, with 93 acres and 139 perches of "The Grove," he con- veyed to Alexander P. Ormond, March 30, 1840, for $2,100.

Other devisees of portions of No. 25, were John and James P. Jordan. William Stanford occupied 20 acres of it for several years after 1825 ; Andrew Morrow, Robert Neal and Alexander Rutherford commenced occupying portions of it in 1835. Smith Neal, Sr., settled on the James P. Jordan portion of it January 3, 1833, and afterward on the Le Roy & Co. tract, No. 3125. He was born in what is now Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, in 1763. At the age of sixteen he enlisted in the American army at Carlisle, and participated in a number of the important battles of the revolution. He was present at the surrender of Lord Corn- wallis, at Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781. Three of his uncles fell in the battle of Brandy- wine, September 11, 1777. He settled, some time after the close of that war, in the neighboring county of Butler, when he enlisted and elsewhere served in the war of 1812. The gun which he carried is now in the possession of grandson Smith Neal. He removed from Butler to this county at the time above-mentioned, and was a resident successively of Wayne and Cowanshan- nock townships until his death, which occurred August 13, 1863, when he was within three months of being a centenarian.

The James P. Jordan portion of No. 25, viz., 200 acres and 128 perches, was sold for taxes by David Johnston, county treasurer, in June, 1830, to Robert Brown, who conveyed the same to Robert Neal, December 3, 1833, to whom the patent was issued, who conveyed 100 acres to William Mor- row, Jannary 26, 1843, for $20, the latter having been first assessed therewith in 1836. Samuel Cassady, Samuel Fleming and Samuel Porter were first assessed with other portions of No. 25 in 1838, and Jacob Linsebigler with 140 acres in 1841.

Tract No. 11, 6272 acres, lay next west of No.

25, and south of the Wor and Craig tracts. Isaac and James Simpson were each assessed with 150 acres of it in 1823, the latter afterward with 127 acres. James Craig and Hamlet Totten were jointly assessed with 367 acres of it in 1828. Craig probably settled on it in 1827, and Totten a year or two later. Stewart Fitzgerald was assessed with 327 acres in 1830, James Simpson, Jr., with 65 acres in 1833, and John Morrow with 75 acres in 1834. Three hundred and sixty-one acres and 90 perches of this original tract were sold for taxes to the county commissioners November 19, 1816, who sold the same to James Pinks August 1, 1825, who conveyed the same to Hamlet Totten May 26, 1827, for $150. Gen. Potter's surviving executor and heirs and devisees conveyed that last- mentioned quantity to Elizabeth and Margaret Latimore, August 22, 1834, for the purpose of making up a deficit of two shares of the Potter lands, which had become vested in their father, George Latimore, and which they conveyed to Hamlet Totten December 18 for $350, 151 acres of which he conveyed to John Patterson, of Wash- ington county, Pennsylvania, May 5, 1836, for $750, 46 acres and 26 perches of which the latter conveyed to John McElroy September 1, 1838, for $1,800. John Totten was assessed with some of it for several years, and Sidney Totten with 210 acres from 1837 until 1840, when he removed to the Meason and Cross tract No. 692 ; Zachariah Knight with 45 acres, first in 1838 ; James Reed with 100 acres, first in 1838 ; David Simpson, as chairmaker, in 1838, and wheelwright in 1839; Samuel Smith with 100 acres, first in 1840, though he had purchased earlier ; and James Morrow, as a blacksmith, in 1841.

Three hundred and one acres and 45 perches were devised by Gen. Potter to James P. Caroth- ers, including parts of Nos. 11 and 25, to whom Potter's executors conveyed the same, September 10, 1819, and to whom the patent was granted July 15, 1822. He conveyed 250 acres and 130 perches thereof to James and John Simpson as "tenants in common," September 17, 1822, for $675. James conveyed his interest therein for $1, and John his for $765, to Isaac Simpson, August 12, 1826.

James Simpson, Sr., removed in 1807 from In- diana county to that part of tract No. 11 border- ing on the southwest part of the Wor tract, where Anthony Gallagher now resides. He died some years since. As late as 1855-6 he said that he was offered, soon after he settled there, as much land as he could see from his residence for a cow, but was unable then to pay even that price, for he had

not the cow to barter for the land. John Simpson was first assessed as a single man in 1809. Isaac Simpson was born in Fort Lydick, five miles east of Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1790, and removed to this part of No. 11 in 1822, where he still resides in his two-story brick mansion, and is quite active for one of his advanced age. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, in the army of the Northwest, under Gen. William H. Harrison, and participated in the military operations at Sandusky and Fort Meigs. On this part of No. 11, on the cross- roads, is the little town or hamlet of Tottenham, called Centerville on the attest township map, containing eleven dwelling-houses, one cabinet- maker, one carpenter, one sewing-machine agent, and about forty inhabitants. It was laid out by Hamlet Totten in 1859 or 1860.

Briefly digressing from the Pickering & Co. lands, the reader's attention is diverted for a few moments to the "Simpson " tract, as designated on the map of original tracts, but really consisting of three tracts, for which warrants were granted to Robert Simpson dated, respectively, December 21, 1832, May 29, 1834, and January 22, 1847, ag- gregating about 268 acres, sonth of No. 11 and east of No. 176, and on both sides of the purchase line, the patents for which were granted to Simp- son, respectively, June 1, 1836, and February 26, 1847, the latter tract adjoining the 91 acres assessed to John Morrow, and for which a war- rant was issued to him. Simpson conveyed 193 acres and 127 perches to John Simpson, December 6, 1851, for $1 and his proper and comfortable . maintenance during the rest of his life. The writer has been informed that he settled here in 1806, but he presumes he did not until 1814, as his name does not appear on the assessment list until 1815. It is said that he served in the Indian war in and about 1790.

Returning from that digression, the Pickering & Co. tract No. 176, 10572 acres, lay west of " Leeds," No. 11, and the Simpson tract, south of " Leeds," "Fi- delity," and Bryan No. 672, east of Findley No. 3658, and the McClenechan tract, and north of and border- ing on the purchase line. It was a part of the Potter lands which became vested in George Latimore of Philadelphia, to whom the patent was granted February 8, 1812, who, by his will, dated July 15, 1823, devised it to his wife Margaret, and after her death, to his daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret Latimore. The Indian Lick run empties into the Cowanshannock from the north about fifty rods east of its western boundary, and Bell's Camp run from the south 275 rods east of Indian Lick, which was so-called after an old hunter by the

name of Bell, of Westmoreland county, who in early times, for many years when deer were plenty, established on it his hunting camp, which he ocen- pied during a considerable portion of the winter and left in the spring.

Peter Torney, Sr., appears to have been the earli- est permanent settler on No. 176, with 200 acres of which he was first assessed in 1823. The Latimore sisters, after their mother's death, conveyed to him '152 acres, September 18, 1833, for $456. Alex- ander Foster was first assessed with 150 acres in 1829, to whom Mrs. Margaret Latimore con- veyed the same October 22, for $450. Jacob Ripple was assessed with 100 acres in 1829, to whom Mrs. Latimore conveyed 103 acres and 35 perches September 12, 1831, for $336.37; Peter Torney, Jr., with 74 acres in 1829, to whom she conveyed 73 acres and 83 perches Sep- tember 2, 1830, for $200.50; Samnel Marshall, with 130 acres, in 1830; Moses Miller, with 130 acres, in 1831, to whom she conveyed 60 acres, December 20, for $180; the same year Christopher Schrecongost, with 62 acres, and Jonathan Yount, with 134 acres, 40 acres besides which he purchased from the sisters Latimore, March 18, 1335, for $122.25, both which, 174 acres, Yount conveyed to Lyle Kerr, April 7, for $2,000; John Stoops, with 150 acres, in 1832, to whom his father-in-law, Alexander Foster, Sr., conveyed 128 acres, allot- ment No. 1, July 26, 1854, for $1,000; Daniel Schrecongost, with 61 acres, in 1835; John T. Pat- terson, with 196 acres-two parcels-in 1836, to whom widow Latimore conveyed 69 acres and 116 perches, December 22, 1831, for $209, and the sisters Latimore, 82 acres and 76 perches, Decem- ber 20, 1833, for $227; Samuel Patterson, with .123 acres-two parcels-in 1836, which the sisters Lati- more had conveyed to him, January 27, 1835, for $370.50; James and Joseph Reed, each, with 94 acres, in 1838; and John Karn, with 52 acres, in 1842. Glancing at the township map of 1876, the reader will notice on the portion of this original tract east of Rural village and north of the Cowan- shannock the location of property belonging to the estate of Rev. William F. Morgan, deceased, and that of the farm of Joseph Ritner Ambrose, late of John Neal, deceased, and south of that stream, between it and the purchase line, the farms of T. W. Stoops, Henry, Jonathan and Resinger Yount, William Carson, and John Torney.

This township was not well supplied with good public roads until about 1845. The Kittanning and Smicksburgh turnpike was authorized to be made ten or twelve years before. Its original ronte diverged from near Patterson's mill in Valley

township to the left to the Anderson creek road. The present route through Rural village was adopted by the pledges given by the inhabitants of that place and vicinity to make several miles of the pike, if the route were changed, which they did.

Some of the early schoolhouses within the present limits of this township were built prior to 1820. The first one was on the Ormond farm, about 75 rods south of the Cowanshannock. The second one was about 400 rods southwest of that one, near J. T. Sloan's. The third one was 1 mile and 80 rods northwest of Atwood, on land now owned by D. McCoy. It was a square building of round logs, one end of which was devoted to a triangularly shaped chimney, and in other respects it resembled other primitive schoolhouses in this county. The first teacher in this house was John Russel. Four years afterward he taught in the upper story of a stillhouse, nearly a mile southeast of Atwood, in the bend of the public road extending from that village to Indiana, near the present residence of Christopher Hoover. The heating apparatus con- sisted of an iron kettle, with coals, instead of wood. for fuel. The fourth one, after 1820, was situated about 900 rods nearly east of Rural village, at the present cross-roads, about 50 rods southwest of where James Morrow's blacksmith shop now is. The fifth one was about 200 rods a little north of east of the fourth one. The sixth one was about one mile east of Rural village at the present cross- roads, near what is now Centerville. The seventh one was 2 miles and 60 rods south of Rural vil- lage, near Black's or Templeton's sawmill. The eighth one was northeast of Rural village, and about 150 rods slightly south of west from the present site of the Barnard schoolhouse. The ninth one was about a mile northeast of Atwood, and 100 rods west of the Derimney schoolhouse. When the common school system went into operation, most of the comparatively few persons who then inhab- ited parts of Wayne and Plum Creek townships which are now included in this township readily adopted it.

In 1860, the number of schools was 15; average number of months taught, 4; male teachers, 11; female teachers, 4; average monthly salaries of male, $14.45 ; average monthly salaries of female, $13.50; male scholars, 340; female scholars, 334; average number attending school, 405; cost of teaching each scholar per month, 34 cents; amount levied for school purposes, $1,192; received from state appropriation, $130.70; from collectors, $682; cost of instruction, $854; fuel and contingencies, $64.70; repairing schoolhouses, etc., $18.

STATISTICS OF POPULATION, VALUATION, ETC.

The census of 1850, the first one after the organ- ization of this township, shows its population, including that of the villages, to have then been : white, 1,318 ; colored, 0. In 1860, white, 1,963 ; colored, 1. In 1870, white, 2,246; colored, 0; native, 2,155 ; foreign, 91. The number of taxa- ble in 1876, is 599, and the population, estimated on that basis, 2,755. The assessed valuation of this township, in 1850, was : real estate, $90,020 ; personal property, $13,295 ; single men, $2,900 ; occupations, $400 ; money at interest, $1,651 ; car- riages, $325 ; watches, 50 cents. Total, $107,791.50. The total valuation of the same, single men omitted, in 1876, is $817,051.

Occupations, other than agricultural, exclusive of Atwood and Rural village, not wholly according to the assessment list for 1876 : Laborers, 28; black- smiths, 5; merchants, 5; carpenters, 8; stone- masons, 6; miners, 2; shoemakers, 2 ; teachers, 3; harness makers, 3 ; painter, 1; gristmills 2; saw- mills, stationary, 5 ; portable, 1; tanneries, 2.

RURAL VILLAGE.

In the summer of 1836, John Patterson laid out Rural village on that part of the west end of the Pickering & Co. tract No. 11, which he had, as elsewhere stated, purchased from Hamlet Totten. The town plot has not been recorded. If it is still extant, it is not accessible. Forty lots, each 622×165 feet, part of them on each side of the turnpike, or Main street, were surveyed by the late Major James White ; Hamlet Totten remem- bers that he was the surveyor. They were shortly afterward offered for sale. Archibald L. Robin- son cried them, and his recollection is, that about twenty-five were bid off the first day. The follow- ing conveyances from Patterson to the purchasers

indicate the general values of those lots at that time, in the old plot of the village, which extended 80×25 rods eastward on the Pickering & Co. tract 11, from the present alley between the Presbyterian church and the Odd Fellows' hall, including Main street and the alleys. On the 12th October, 1836, he conveyed to Judge Buffington lots Nos. 38 and 39 for $40 ; to Thompson Purviance lot No. 6 ad- joining " an alley 19 feet wide," for $34 ; to Will- iam W. Gibson lot No. 4, for $20 ; to Jacob Pence lot No. 10 for $39.50 ; to Samuel R. Ramage lot No. 3 for $13 ; to Samuel Smith lots Nos. 8 and 9 for $154; September 20, 1837, to Andrew L. Mc- Closkey lot No. 7, for $117.50 ; February 4, to Zachariah Knight lot No. 5, for $400; September 12. 1838, to James Gourley, 2 lots for $39 ; October 2, 1839, lots Nos. 17, 18, 19 to Thompson Purviance for $40; April 28, 1840, to Findley Patterson lots Nos. 20, 21 for $35.

Alexander Foster, Sr., conveyed, January 27, 1837, to Alexander Foster, Jr., the 150 acres of Pickering tract No. 176, which he had about ten years before purchased from Mrs. Latimore. In the summer or fall of 1839, the elder and younger Foster laid out the new plot of Rural village on that part of the Pickering & Co. tract last mentioned, adjoining on the west the alley between the present sites of the Presbyterian church and Odd Fellows, hall. This new plot consisted of 20 lots, partly on each side of Main street, 623 feet in front on the street, and extending back, some 165 and others 150 feet. They were surveyed by Jonathan E. Meredith October 10, 1839. Alexander Foster, Sr., conveyed some, but Alexander Foster, Jr., conveyed most of those lots which were sold. Conveyances of them dated November 9, 1839 : To Robert A. Robinson, lot No. 1, for $55; to Zachariah Knight, lot No. 23, for $51 ; to Wesley Knight, lot No. 4, for $27.87}; November 11, to Dr. William Aitkin, lot No. 13, for $47.564 ; December 14, to Andrew L. McCloskey, lot No. 8, . for $17.50 ; January 10, 1840, to Benjamin Schre- congost, lot No. 8, for $15.31 ; to Jacob Beer, lot No. 9, for $16 ; January 25, to Peter Brown, lot No. 6, for $25 ; April 16, 1844, to James R. Woods, lot No. 15, for $15; May 21, to Catherine Jones, lot No. 14, for $15 ; January 28, 1851, to Hugh R. Morrison, lot No. 11, for $40.

The first separate assessment list of this village was in 1839, and included only the old plot, and is : Joseph Buffington, lots Nos. 38 and 39,valua- tion, $20 ; Samuel Cassady, valuation, $10 ; Samuel Flemming, lot No. 14, $10; Alexander Foster, Esq., lots Nos. 15 and 16, $20; William W. Gib- son, lot No. 3 (4 ?), $10; James Gourley, black-

smith, lots Nos. 11 and 12, 1 head of cattle, $100 ; Zachariah Knight, lot No. 5, tavern,* 2 cattle, $116 ; Andrew McCloskey, carpenter, lot No. 7, 1 head cattle, $150 ; John Patterson, 1 honse and lot $300, and lots Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20, $40; Samnel Potts, 1 house and lot, $50 ; Samuel Ramage, lot No. 4 (3?), $10; Archibald L. Robinson, lots Nos. 32, 33, $20 ; Martin Schrecongost, lot No. 30, $10 ; Samuel Smith, lots Nos. 8, 9, $20 ; James Strain, lot No. 10, $10.

The first separate assessment list of the new plot is that of 1841. It is meager, except as to lots and their value : William Aitkens, lot No. 13, $14 ; Jacob Beer, lot No. 9, $5 ; James Boyd, lot No. 14, $5; Peter Brown, lots Nos. 6, 8, $10; Richard Crim, lot No. 5, $5 ; Archibald Findley, lot No. 12, $5; Alexander Foster, Esq., lot No. 15, $5; James Gibson, lots Nos. 7, 17, $10; Wesley W. Knight, lot No. 4, $5 ; Robert A. Robinson, lots Nos. 1, 2, $325 ; Benjamin Schrecongost, lot No. 18, $5 ; Robert Stoops, lots Nos. 3, 16, $10 ; John Uplinger, lot No. 22, $5.

This portion of this beautiful valley and its vicinity proved to be especially attractive to those desiring to settle in this region after 1830. Hence it was that John Patterson changed his base of operations and laid out the old plot of Rural vil- lage, which soon became the central commercial point for a considerable scope of the surrounding country. Merchants regarded it as a favorable opening for their branch of business. Thompson Porviance was the pioneer merchant of this village. He must have opened his store here in 1836, for he was first assessed as a merchant here in 1837; David Patterson the next year. The former died about the middle of September, 1840, and the latter removed to Kittanning in 1841, where he has ever since continued to carry on the mercantile business. Among their successors have been Robert A. Rob- inson, John McEroy, Joseph Alcorn, who for several years had charge of a kind of co-operative company store, which was not, like some others of the kind, a financial success. George B. McFar- land and James E. Brown had a store here several years, which was transferred to Phoenix Furnace after they had acquired an interest in it. Among the later merchants of this village are George A. Gourley, Andrew Gallagher, Joseph K. Patterson and James McFarland. The mechanical trades and other occupations have kept pace with the in- crease of population here and in the surrounding country.

The first resident clergyman was Rev. James

D. Mason, and the first resident physician, Will- iam Aitkins.

The assessment list for this year (1876) shows : Merchants, 4 ; mason, 1 ; physician, 1; tinsmith, 1; peddler, 1; printer, 1; blacksmiths, 5; car- penters, 2 ; justice of the peace, 1 ; wagonmakers, 3; laborers, 4; shoemakers, 2; tailor, 1; artist, 1 ; innkeepers, 2. The number of taxables is 43, giv- ing a population of 197. The first school within what are now the limits of this village wa's taught before 1836, in the first log cabin built here, by Thomas McElhinney, afterward a member of the bar of this county, and the author of several treatises on "Love, Courtship and Marriage," and "Getting through the World." He also wrote and published a biography of Martin Van Buren.

A select school in which the higher English branches and the Latin and Greek languages were taught, was opened by Rev. James D. Mason in the first church edifice, in 1845, which he continued to teach until 1847. Among his pupils were Dr. Alcorn, the late John K. Calhoun, a member of the bar of this county and of the house of repre- sentatives of this state, and Rev. - Marshall, of Iowa. His immediate successor was Rev. Cochran Forbes. The number of pupils, male and female, ranged from 25 to 35. John McElroy, a few years after the latter left, opened a similar school in the same building, until he erected a school building on his own premises, in which, like his predecessors, he devoted himself to the thor- ough instruction of his pupils, the usual number of which, of both sexes, was from 25 to 30, among whom were Dr. John W. Morrow and other suc- cessful teachers of common schools. ITis successors have been Mr. Talmage, L. R. Ewing, Louis Kim- mel, Joseph Beer, - Belden, James Morrow, Joseph Buyers and J. A. Ewing, the number of their pupils ranging from 25 to 35.
