In 1792, Patrick Harvey, guided by John Harbison, the Indian scout or spy, came into the county, and selected a farm in Clinton township, marking its boundaries by blazing the forest trees. lle then returned to Westmoreland county. In 1793 he went into Sugar Creek township, Armstrong county, and selected a farm, on which his cousin, John Patton, afterward settled. In the spring of 1794 he returned to Butler county, and settled on the land selected in 1792. In May, 1795. he brought his family to their new home, where, a year

later, his third child, Martha, was born. His wife died in 1831, his own death occurring in 1849.
A pioneer named Daniels, came into the county in 1794, built a cabin and cultivated a small garden in Marion township, on the land afterwards owned by Robert Vanderlin. Ile lived on the products of his garden and the chase until scared away by the Indians, before the arrival of other settlers.
John Girty, said to be a brother of the notorious Simon Girty, was one of the first settlers in Connoquenessing township. He selected land about a mile south of Whitestown. His mother, a brother and two sisters came here with him. One of his sisters married a man named Gibson, but died about 1801, and was one of the first persons buried in Mt. Nebo cemetery. Though nothing dis- creditable could be traced to them, the members of the family were not in good repute. The mother was thought to be a witch and feared as such. Ann Girty, the younger daughter, was shot, while standing in the cabin door, by someone unknown. With the exception of Mrs. Gibson, the members of the family were denied interment in Mt. Nebo cemetery, and "were buried in unmarked graves in the deep woods."
In 1793 William and John Elliott, accompanied by John Dennison and one or two others, came into the county from Wilkinsburg, as land hunters. William Elliott, in order to secure more than the limit of 400 acres, selected tracts to the amount of 1,400 acres and located the other members of his party upon them to hold them for him. He afterward gave each of them a certain number of acres as per previous agreement. In this manner he was able to report Sos acres for assessment in ISO3.
On the night of January 10, 1793, James Harbison, James Hall, Abraham Fryer, and William Hultz, hunters from east of the Alleghanies, who had come into the county by way of Logan's ferry, below Tarentum, camped in the forests of Middlesex township. Next day, after engraving their names on trees, to mark the place of their encampment, they returned to their homes. A year later the entire party came again to Middlesex township, selected land on and around the site of their former visit, built cabins thereon and became settlers. Between the time of their first visit and their return, however, Thomas Martin, George Hays and James Fulton, had come into the township, selected land and settled thereon, thus becoming the first settlers of Middlesex.
In 1795 Samuel and Thomas Cross, Jacob and John Pisor and Henry Stine- torf settled in Worth township. In 1791 James Hemphill, a noted hunter, with Rudolph Barnhart came into the county, and a year later with Adam and John Hemphill. Jacob Barnhart, Sr., and Jacob Barnhart, Jr., made settlements in Done- gal and Fairview townships, on and around the site of Millerstown. Samuel Wallace became the pioneer settler of Fairview township in 1795, locating with his family on Bear creek. Robert Elliott, in the same year, selected land and set- tled in Buffalo township. In this year, also, George Bell settled in the vicinity of " Bells Knob ;" Archibald Kelly built his cabin in Parker township and Edward Graham located on land in Concord township.
To these may be added James McKee and William Kearns, who settled in But- ler township; Daniel and William McConnell, William McNees and Benja-

THE PIONEERS.
min Jack, pioneers of Worth ; John McCandless and Aaron Moore, early settlers of Franklin ; Dunning McNair, a land speculator of Connoquenessing ; John Ekin, another pioneer of the same township; Silas Miller, an early settler and well known hunter, and William Thompson, an early settler of Middlesex; John Parker, the pioneer of Parker township, and Eli Scholar, an early settler of Lan- caster township, all of whom are credited with coming in 1795.
The foregoing, while embracing the names of the more prominent settlers between the years of 1702 and 1795, does not contain those of all who came into the county up to that date. A more complete list of those who came after 1795 and up to and after 1800, will be found in the chapters devoted to the various townships and boroughs, to which the attention of the reader is directed.
TAXABLES OF 1803.
Perhaps the best information obtainable relative to the number of inhabitants here at the time of the organization of the county, as well as the real and personal property possessed by them, is to be found in the list of taxables of 1803, copied from the first duplicate tax book of the county. It gives the returns of the assessors of the four original townships of Buffalo. Connoquenessing, Middlesex and Slippery Rock, and is as follows :
