This elaborate report was signed by Hugh McKee and James T. Me Junkin, but was not immediately acted upon by the court. David Scott was appointed viewer vice Lane, and on March 6, 1854, signed the final report, which was pre sented and considered by the court, March 29, 1854. This provided for the estab- lishment of thirty-three townships, all except three being nearly twenty-four square miles in area. The township of Mercer having four unequal sides lacks about one-third of a proportionate area, while the townships of Slippery Rock and Worth, owing to the division of the triangle lying to the north and west of them, contain a little more territory than an equal proportion. The triangle contains about six square miles, and it was apportioned to the two townships named, each of which would lack a fraction of being the regular size without such addition. This report was considered and confirmed March 29, 1854,-the order reading as follows ;

And now to-wit, March 29, 1854, the court on due consideration confirms the report of the viewers in this case and order and decree that the county of Butler be divided into townships according to the said report and the draft accompanying the same, and that the several townships as surveyed and set forth in the said draft, by the lines and boundaries thereof fixed and run upon the ground, shall be established and erected and shall hereafter exist conformably to the same and be taken to be separate and distinct townships conformably to the ordinances and laws thereof and the names of the several townships shall be as follows: Beginning at the northwestern township of the northern range of townships and running eastward, to-wit: First, Mereer; second, Marion; third, Venango; fourth, Allegheny; fifth, Slippery Rock; sixth, Cherry; seventh, Washington; eighth, Parker; ninth, Worth; tenth, Brady; eleventh, Clay; twelfth, Concord; thirteenth, Fairview; fourteenth, Muddy Creek; fifteenth, Franklin; sixteenth, Centre; seventeenth, Oakland; eighteenth, Donegal; nineteenth, Lancaster; twentieth, Connoquenessing; twenty-first, Butler; twenty-second, Summit; twenty-third, Clearfield; twenty-fourth, Jackson; twenty-fifth, Forward; twenty-sixth, Penn; twenty-seventh, Jefferson; twenty- eighth, Winfield: twenty-ninth, Cranberry; thirtieth, Adams; thirty-first, Middlesex; thirty-second, Clinton, and thirty-third, Buffalo.

The election of township officers and justices of the peace was ordered to be held April 28, 1854, at the polling places as fixed by the act of 1854, regulating the elections in Butler county under the new order of townships.

In June, 1853, the bill of Hugh McKee, James T. Mc Junkin and David Scott

Commissioners' counsel, E. Mc Junkin, made exceptions at once to this bill ; first, because there was an unnecessary expenditure of time by the viewers; sec- ond, because the charges for survey were too high ; because they did not show the items making up the thirty dollars and the $91.25 entries ; because they should not be allowed for expenses attending court and remaining out over Sun- days and because there was an agreement on the part of the viewers to do the work for a sum not exceeding $425.00. On June 13. 1854, the exceptions were sustained by the court, but a new bill, filed April 18, 1854, amounting to $450.00, was ordered to be paid.

A petition asking for the modification of a township line was presented on March, 1854. The signers pointed out that, with straight lines, the corner of the last range of townships on the east is on Slippery Rock creek, on the farm of Thomas Clark. From that point to the western boundary of Lawrence county they wished to have Slippery Rock creek the dividing line, because it is a natural line and sometimes an impassable one. The straight line, authorized by the viewers, threw nearly the whole fraction into the lower township, making it necessary for many of the settlers to cross Wolf creek and Slippery Rock creek to election and town meeting places, while, if they adopted the natural or water boundary, only three or four families would be thrown into the township north- east, and, in the matter of school districts, the change would only affect three families, the children of one of whom were already attendants in another dis- trict, rather than risk the crossing of the creek. Many of the men who signed the remonstrance of March 6, 1854, against re-subdividing the county, signed this petition, together with Stephen Morrison, A. H. Boyle, A. Murphy, Thomas Kelly, Jr., John W. Martin, Thomas Kelly, A. G. Denniston, John Stoughton. William Gallagher, Thomas Boyle, C. Nussell and John Brant.

On March 6, 185J, a remonstrance against the order of survey was filed, showing the whole plan to be disadvantageous to a large number of citizens. This was signed by Archibald McGowan, John Boyle, John S. MeNees, .1. McGowan, Samuel Hazlett. Joseph De Wolf, John Hays, Thomas Boyle, Fred- erick Pisor, Jr., Joseph Pisor, Ilenry Studebaker, John Book, David Emery, Jr., Andrew Douglas, William C. Emery, Joseph Douglas, Hampson Dean, Harlan Vogan, James Book, Michael Stinetorf, John Brant, Thomas Cooper, Robert Hampson. Jacob Fisher, William T. Dickey, William Hammel, R.

Balph, Alexander Boyle, Jacob Howe and David Cheniwett. Reason Number 6 of this remonstrance is given as follows : "We apprehend that the surveyors, in their hurry to finish their work and influenced, perhaps, by the representations of a few individuals lying north of the line, who desired the vari- ation for the accommodation of a single school district, have unintentionally done injury and incommoded the whole township by accommodating a few at the expense of thirty or forty men."

In the remonstrances, the men who hoped to carve a new county out of the eastern townships of this and the western townships of adjoining counties, saw a chance to accomplish their desires.

In April, 1854, an act passed the legislature for the erection of a new county out of parts of Westmoreland, Allegheny, Armstrong and Butler. The bill may be said to have been carried through the House and Senate without the knowledge of the people of Butler, but the plotters, while winning the legisla- ture, could not win any real support in Butler and hence the project fell through.

In February, 1856, the committee of the legislature on new counties, reported a bill for the erection of parts of Allegheny, Butler and Westmoreland into a county, to be named Madison. The townships of Middlesex, Clinton and Buffalo were, according to the bill, to be detached from Butler.

In January, 1861, a bill was introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature to annex the Anderson farm, in West Deer township, Allegheny county, to Butler county, but this also failed, Butler ignoring addition as well as subtraction.

In 1871 the people of East Brady asked for a new county to be formed out of parts of Armstrong, Butler, Clarion and Venango counties. The North- western Independent was the organ of the agitators. In June, 1872, a bill to change the boundary between Armstrong and Butler counties was defeated in the House of Representatives.

T HE first meeting of the commissioners of Butler county was held November 9, 1803, in a log house on or near the site of the present Armory building. Matthew White and James Bovard, two of the commissioners, took the oath of office on that date, but Jacob Mechling did not qualify until November 16, on which day the organization of the commissioners was completed, and a term of four days begun, " to make estimates and adjust a variety of business relative to this office." On November 21, Mr. Mechling reported that Districts Numbers 1 and 2 were laid off and the lines surveyed by Thomas Grimes at a cost of five dollars. Messrs. White and Bovard reported that Districts Numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6 had been laid out and the lines surveyed by John Cunningham, at a cost of fifteen dollars. These districts were laid out under an act of the Assembly of April 4, 1803, pro- viding for the appointment of justices of the peace. On November 2> the commissioners were at Pittsburg in consultation with the commissioners of Alle- gheny county ; but little was accomplished prior to December 8, 1803, when duplicates of records were received from Allegheny county showing the receipts and disbursements in the four townships of Butler county, a copy of which docu- ment is given in the previous chapter. On December 10, the first wolforder was issued to John Cooper, collector of Buffalo township. At this time a contract was entered into with John Negley for " a place to accommodate the courts of justice in the town of Butler."

Toward the close of December, the commissioners visited the commissioners of Allegheny county, but failed to obtain the books and copies of which they were in search. Returning with a copy of Reed's Digest, for which they paid five dollars and fifty cents. they considered their mission extraordinarily successful, and the clerk, David Dougal, was made happy in the possession of the volume. With so much written law at hand, it was now time to build a prison, and, on January 16, 1804, Samuel Meal's bid for iron work on the .. Public Prison " was accepted. Four wolf orders, each for eight dollars, were granted to Abner Coats in Febru- ary, 1:04. On February 23, James Thompson received twenty dollars for station- ery, iron for jail and for rent of part of house for office. On April 11, the tax dupli- cates for the several townships were issued, the amounts being : For Slippery

Rock, $364: Middlesex. $150.32 ; Buffalo, $166.22, and Connoquenessing, $465.27. In May, James Blashford was paid twenty-five dollars for carpenter work on jail, and Abraham Fryer two dollars and sixty-seven cents for hauling boards. In June, Andrew Cruikshank, John Cunningham and Benjamin Sarver received five dollars each for viewing a road from Butler to Freeport, and John Ray one dollar and twenty-eight cents for a road from Butler to the mouth of Bear creek. On June 7, Simon Drum was given a warrant for twenty-six dollars and sixty cents for a stove and stove-pipe, supplied to the county, and Abraham Brinker received seventy dollars for erecting jail according to agreement, and seven dol- lars for hauling a stove from Greensburg. On July 14, the sum of eight dollars and sixty cents was paid to John McCandless for candlesticks, snuffers and ink stands ; while to William Freeman, four dollars and forty cents were paid for plank used in jail. Henry Murphy received six dollars for viewing a road from Butler to the Venango county line, and William Schilling three dollars for viewing a road " from Butler on the direction to Beaver." William Redick, who viewed the road from Butler toward Franklin, was paid six dollars. The first mention of office furniture is made under date of September 20, 1804, when James Brown was paid thirteen dollars for a writing-desk, table and ballot-box, and a few days after, John Negley received eleven dollars and fifty cents for two locks for jail, staples and fastenings. Up to this period, or, at least, from the beginning of 1804. the commissioners rented a room from William B. Young, to whom they paid six dollars rent on October 25.

In November, 1804, James Scott took the place of Jacob Mechling as com- missioner, and with Messrs. White and Bovard, issued the warrants to the judges and clerks of the general election. On the 16th of that month, Matthew Thomp- son received eight dollars and seventy cents for making " spikes " for jail, and George Bowers six dollars for fuel and attending to fires during the six days' term of court.

In December, Hugh Smith petitioned for relief from the disabilities under which single men then labored. The tax on single-blessedness was seventy-five cents; but Hugh could now protest, and on the certificate of Squire Robert Gal- breath, that he was married before the date of petition, the commissioners gladly exonerated him. Beyond the issue of warrants to judges and clerks of election, and some attention given to the assessment of unseated Donation and Deprecia- tion lands, the commissioners work for the month was uninteresting. On the 29th of December, the clerk, David Dougal, credited Commissioner White with ninety-four days' services, Bovard with 10312days, James Scott with eleven days, and himself with eighty-three days.

In 1804, William Ayres,-who appears to have moved from Pittsburg to Butler in the fall of 1801,- opened an account with Butler county. It is a debtor account, pure and simple, containing the following items :-

On January 4, 1805, the question of estimates was disposed of and a levy of $2,500 ordered. On January 15, an order was given to Robert Lemmon for five dollars to pay for " six painted split-bottom chairs for this office." Benjamin White was paid thirteen dollars for thirty logs and 1,000 brick for the use of the jail on the 17th, and the same day John Negley received twenty-eight dollars and eighty-nine cents for services as treasurer of Butler county, from April 11 to December 31, 1804, being at the rate of forty dollars a year. John Beals was paid twelve dollars for viewing a road from Butler " on the direction to Mercer," and, February 12. John Negley received fifty dollars " in full" for rent of court-house from February 1, 1804, to February 1, 1805. Zadock Cramer, who supplied the stationery for county use from the beginning, was paid thirty-seven dollars for blank books, and William Ayres, nineteen dollars for seals. The re-ap- pointment of John Negley as treasurer was made February 16, 1805, his bonds- men being William Brown and William B. Young, the sum being $3,000. In March following, William McDonald, the coroner, who held an inquest on the body of the child-Catherine Barickman-at the house of Benjamin Thomas, was paid fifteen dollars and fourteen cents for his services. At this time also, war- rants were issued to David Dougal, James Bovard and James Scott, surveyors, Edward Grimes, George Scott and Alexander White, chain-carriers and blazers, for services in ascertaining township lines. In April the tax duplicates were issued as follows : Slippery Rock, $351.1; Mercer, $161.84; Parker, $178.53; Venango, $116.25: Donegal, $205.6312 ; Clearfield, $118.45; Buffalo, $170.17; Middlesex, $232.71 ; Butler, $262.55; Muddy Creek, $260.1>; Connoquenessing, $312.8912, and Cranberry, $153 3412. The total tax levied was $2,798.0212. In the four first named townships the rate was six mills, in the others, five mills. The collectors, in the order of townships, were John Levere, Henry Evans, John Jameson, Henry Murphy, Adam Bortmass, Peter Henry, David Moorhead, George Brown, Robert Maxwell, John Turk, William Dodds, John Beighley and William Kilgore. Warrants were issued in May and June to the road viewers from McLure's in the direction of Beaver, and from the Mercer county line through Zelienople to the Butler county line, near Dixon's; while, in August, five dollars were paid to Thomas Graham for viewing a road from the Venango county line to Cunningham's mill ; three dollars to Benjamin Garvin for a road from Glade run through Harmony ; and six dollars to Joseph McFarren for a road from Alle- gheny county line. through Zelienople, toward the town of Mercer.

The bills for printing lists of Donation and Depreciation lands were consid- ered September 24, 1805, when a warrant for $HE was issued to William Mc- Corkle, of the Freeman's Journal; one for $118.75 to Zach. Poulson, of the American Daily Advertiser ; one for $114. 73 to Thomas Bradford, and one to

John Israels for forty-five dollars and sixty cents for printing in The Tree of Liberty. It appears that an account for postage existed between the commission- ers and the postmaster, William B. Young, for a bill of two dollars and eighty-six cents was ordered to be paid him. On October 9, a warrant for two dollars was issued to Benjamin Wallace for viewing a place for a bridge at the creek near Butler, and, on October 10, a warrant for eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents was given to Sheriff John McCandless for blankets supplied to prisoners. Abner Coats, who took the place of James Bovard, qualified November 9. Will- iam Campbell, who made two jury wheels, was paid thirteen dollars and fifty cents for them on December 21. John Negley was re-appointed treasurer Decem- ber 30.

The opening days of 1806 were busy ones for the members of the board. Warrants to election judges and clerks, road viewers, supervisors, the " making- out" of tax duplicates, orders for auditor-, jurors, etc., kept both clerk and commis- "sioners at their desks until the close of February. In March, John Spear received eight dollars for work done in jail yard, and another bill for postage on letters and newspapers of one dollar and seventy-three cents was paid to Postmaster Young. In April, Paris Bratton received eleven dollars and fifty-two cents for placing pickets around the jail, while Samuel Dunbar was allowed ten dollars for digging and walling a cellar in the jail yard, and Benjamin White twenty-six dol- lars for " erecting " jail yard. The tax duplicates were confirmed in May, as fol- lows: Slippery Rock, $519.16; Mercer, $243.38; Parker, $278.89}; Venango, $180.94; Donegal, $312.39; Clearfield, $198.063: Buffalo. $263.38; Middlesex, $306.82; Butler, $450.503; Centre, $383 25; Muddy Creek, $386.46; Connequen- essing, $332.274, and Cranberry, $260.56.

On June 19, William Elliott, John McBride and John David delivered their trust in the matter of the county seat lots to the commissioners-Matthew White, Abner Coats and James Scott. The latter awarded contracts for cutting the State road through Butler county, in August, while in September their attention was mainly directed to the issue of warrants in payment for jury services, wit- ness fees, and other expenses connected with the circuit court. October was given up to settling with election judges and clerks. On November 7, David Dougal was paid twenty dollars for drawing a map of Butler county for the use of the commissioners. With the exception of making contracts for the construc- tion of a bridge over the Connoquenessing and accepting bids for other bridges, the map question was the last to receive attention and the second last to be recorded in the first and venerable minute book of the commissioners.

On December 2, 1806, Jacob Smith took the place of Matthew White as commissioner. On January 6, 1507. the contract for building a court house was awarded to Alexander Hill, and on the 18th the contract was sealed. Viewing roads and bridges and ordering the survey of township lines occupied much of the commissioners' time in January. On March 7, Abraham Brinker was appointed commissioner, vice Jacob Smith : but there is no record of the resignation, removal or death of Smith. Under date of April 11 it is recorded that Commis- sioner Coats was granted two dollars for " laying out court house and going to Justice Scott's for advice on business relating to court house." In June the sum

of eighty-five dollars and sixty-nine cents was paid to John Negley for carpenter work done and materials furnished on jail building.

The record for 1808 gives the names of Abner Coats, John Negley and Francis Anderson as commissioners, and Walter Lowrie, clerk. In February the sum of fifty dollars was paid to John Purviance for rent of court house from March, 1808, to March, 1809, while on March 12, George Young was paid fifteen dollars for court-house rent up to AApril, 1808. Among other items is two dollars to D. C. Cunningham for advice to commissioners in 1807. In the fall of 1808, James Scott succeeded Abner Coats as commissioner, and on October 27, 1809. Thomas Dodds and Joseph Williamson qualified as successors of Negley and Anderson. The work of the board throughout 1808 and 1809 was not con- fined to usual business. The erection of the court house, construction of bridges and opering of roads entailed upon the members and clerk a large amount of work.

In October, 1810, Walter Lowrie qualified as commissioner, and, with Joseph Williamson and James Scott, formed the board. Fixing the budget for 1811 was their principal work, the estimate of expenditures being $1.800. Robert Scott was appointed commissioners' clerk for the year beginning November 3, 1810, and a schedule of values of lands, horses, cows, mills and stills was drafted for the guidance of assessors. Samuel Williamson was appointed treasurer, his bond of $6,000 being signed by John Negley and Samuel Denniston. In February, 1811, the question of a bridge over Slippery Rock creek was discussed ; and early in April the commissioners engaged " in compromising" with Alexander Hill, the builder of the court house, for $600, and gave him a draft on the Bank of Deposit and Discount at Pittsburg. In October, 1811, William Balph was elected commissioner to succeed Jame- Scott. Letting contracts for the State road and issuing warrants formed the work of the officials up to that time. In December, the board settled with John Maginness for finishing the sheriff's office, transacted routine business and adjourned. In September, 1812, Messrs. Williamson and Lowrie visited Pittsburg to settle the accounts, as closed in 1803, with Allegheny county, but their mission proved a failure.

In October, 1812, Robert Martin was elected commissioner, also Ephraim Harris vice Lowrie, resigned. They, with William Balph, formed the board on January 1, 1813, with Robert Scott clerk. In November, 1813, Scott was re-appointed clerk at $1.33 per day, and James McKee qualified as com- missioner, rice Harris, whose term expired. The auditors, appointed in the fall of 1818, namely :- John Christy, Robert Lemmon and Moses Sullivan. reported on accounts up to January 1, 1814, but beyond this, nothing out of the routine of issuing orders was accomplished until October 29, when the contract for building a bridge at Amberson's was considered. On November S. John Negley gave a bond for the completion of the bridge. At this time John Christy was commissioner vice William Balph. It appears that a new jail building was in process of erection, by John Negley, at that time, having been begun in 1812; that a new bridge at "race grounds" was contemplated, if not begun, and three bridges were built at Slippery Rock on the State road. Down to the close of 1810 there were 3,058 warrants issued : in 1811,-604 warrants ; in 1812,-952 7

warrants ; in 1813,-580 warrants; and in 1814,-579 warrants, the last number representing $5,052.40 in cash.

In 1815, there were 510 warrants issued, aggregating $3.466.47, a large part of which represented court expenses, such as jurors' fees, Election expenses formed no small amount. On November 4, William Campbell took the oath as commissioner vice Robert Martin, whose terin expired. The new jail building was practically completed by John Negley, who also finished the floor and par- titions of the second story of the court-house, receiving on the latter contract, in January, 1816, the sum of $175. The bridge over Wolf creek, built by Daniel Foster for the county, was completed in May, 1816, and also that over the Conno- quenessing creek. Warrants for forty-two dollars were given to John Ralston, John Burkhart, Daniel Graham and John Burtner for fourteen wolf puppies. while John Reniston received eight dollars for a full grown wolf head. In Octo- ber, Thomas McLeary qualified as commissioner vice McKee, whose term expired. During the year, 192 warrants were issued, representing $5,5>. The comple- tion of the jail in May, 1817, by John Negley, and the plastering of the court- house later by John Dunbar, were the only important events in which the com- missioners were concerned. Warrants to the number of 493 were issued and *4,074.35 disbursed. The election of Francis Fryer as commissioner took place in October, and he took his seat in November vice John Christy, whose term expired. Comparatively little business was transacted in 1818, there being only 353 orders issued and $3,986.92} disbursed. Abraham Brinker was elected com- missioner in the fall and qualified November 2, 1818, when he with McLeary and Fryer formed the board. During the ensuing year a new bridge at Harmony was built by David Townsend at a cost of $399. also one at Bassenheim and one at Zelienople, and a number of roads projected. The 437 warrants issued represented a sum of $3.000.57. Robert Lemmon, elected commissioner in October, took the place of Thomas MeLeary in November, and assisted fully in transacting the county business during the year 1820, which was, in every respect, a busy year for the board-497 warrants being issued and $4,752.28 disbursed. John Dodds qualitied as commissioner in November. 1820, vice Francis Fryer, who was not re-elected. On November 6th, Thomas MeLeary was appointed clerk, to succeed Robert Scott, at a salary of $100. The commissioners reserved the right to dismiss him at the close of three months if his work was not satisfactory.
