it was taken down, and a woolen-factory was erected on its site by Jeremiah Cooper, a grandson of Calvin. It was burned, and was rebuilt by Lewis Cooper, a son of Jeremiah. It has been converted into a chop- ping-mill, and it is now owned by Cyrus Brinton.
Forges .- Prior to the Revolution, Michael Withers built a forge on Octorara Creek, between Christiana and Steeleville, near where Sprout afterwards built house alone remains.
About 1815, James Sprout built two forges on the same stream, two miles south from Christiana, where he carried on the manufacture of iron successfully were run for some time after Mr. Sprout eeased to work them by James Goodman and his son Charles, but they have not recently been worked. They were known as the Sadsbury forges.
About a mile below the-e, Ringwood Forge was built by Clement and Brook Buckley, a few years subsequent to the erection of the Sad-bury forge -. They conducted it for some years, and were succeeded by the well-known John McGowan, who carried on the business a number of years. It also has ceased to be operated, and, like the others, is going to de- cay.
Hannum's Mill .- This was built by James Moore about the year 1868, and Asahel Walker was the mill- wright who constructed the machinery. Tradition says that a temporary log-mill, on the same site, was previously built by Mr. Moore and his father, Andrew.
Mr. Moore owned and conducted this mill till his death, in 1810, after which it became the property of his son John. After the death of John, about 1820, his son Robert succeeded him in the ownership.

essentially the same mill a- at first, and its machinery is of the primitive fashion. In the upper part of the mill was a carding machine, and on the north side was a saw-mill.
Mercer Mills .- About the year 1781, James Ster- ritt and his brother erected each a mill on the Octo- rara Creek, about midway between Christiana and Steelville. These were afterwards known as Mercer Mills. About forty years since they ceased to be used as flour-mills, and one of them was converted into a paper-mill.

Spring Mill, on a branch of the Octorara, one mile from Smyrna, was built by John Townsend, Sr., in 1841. It was operated during many years by his son, William Townsend, and in accordance with the con- ditions of the will of its builder it continued to be a portion of his estate till 1877, when it was sold to D. W. Bissell, who operated it three years, and sold it to the present owner, J. F. Reed. It is a stone mill, with two runs of burr-stones, and it has had ! only ordinary repairs, the original wooden machinery remaining still.
Christiana Mill .- This mill, which is on the same branch of the Octorara that turns Spring Mill. was built by Dr. Agnew, Sr., the father of the present Dr. Agnew, of Philadelphia, in 1816. It was con- dueted for a time by Dr. Agnew, and afterwards by others till about 1840, when it was purchased by George Ernst, who erected an addition to the build- ing and added a run of stones. In 1857 he sold the property to the present owner, S. J. Hanway, who has conducted the mill since.
It is a stone building, and it has three runs of stones. The machinery has had only ordinary re- pairs. It is both a merchant and a eustom mill. A saw-mill is attached to this mill, but it has ceased to be used.

Thomas Slokom, father of Samuel, moved from Virginia in 1798, and first settled in Providence, Lan- caster Co. He married Susanna Miller, a descendant of Jacob Miller, who was born in 1663, emigrated from Germany, and purchased a large tract of land in Pequea Valley, in Strasburg township. His son, Samuel, was the first child born in the Swiss colony. Henry Miller, one of his descendants, was a member of the convention that framed the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
In 1815, Thomas Slokom moved to Sadsbury town- ship, where he ereeted the Red Lion Hotel, which be kept to the time of his death, which occurred Aug. 1, 1833. He was buried in Miller's graveyard, Stras- burg township. His wife died at the residence of one of her daughters, Mrs. Cross, in Redford, Oakland Co., Mich., in 1842.
Of the eight children born to Thomas and Susanna Slokom, all are deceased except Samuel.
Upon the death of his father, Samuel came into the possession of the hotel and forty acres of land connected with it, and was its landlord for six years. In 1841 he sold the property, and purchased an im- proved farm in Wayne County, Mich., with the inten- tion of moving upon it, but finally deciding to remain in his native State, he purchased a farm in Bart town- ship of one hundred and eight acres, which he carried on for about six years. He then purchased a farm of thirty acres adjoining the village of Christiana, the birthplace of the renowned physician and surgeon,

Mr. Slokom is a man of strong practical seuse, and as a business man has few superiors ; of great force of character, wonderful energy, and an untiring worker in whatever he undertakes. His judgment in mat- ters of every-day life is greatly superior to that of the average of men, and is so recognized by those who know him. An intuitive knowledge of human nature is a marked feature of his character, and has been an important agency in his career. No man in the com- munity where he lives, wields a wider influence or is more universally respected.
CHAPTER LXXV.
SALISBURY TOWNSHIP.1
THE township of Salisbury embraces the Pequea Valley at its, eastern or upper end. The Welsh Mountain forms its northern boundary, and the Mine and Gap hills lie on the south, The two ranges meet on the east, inclosing the valley on three sides. The tributaries of the Pequea Creek have their origin in the surrounding hills, and, joining the main branch, flow into Leacock township at Hunsecker's mill. The surface of the country is rolling and is nuderlaid with limestone, thus securing a soil rich in the inor- ganie elements of plant food and also good drainage.

He has filled the office of justice of the peace fifteen years, and served one term as commissioner of the county. He came within one vote of receiving the nomination of his party for the Senate in 1855.
In 1882 he was chiefly instrumental in the organi- zation of the National Bank of Christiana, of which he was elected president, which position he now holds. The bank has been successful beyond the ex- pectations of its founder -. lle has been for twenty- one years a director in the Lancaster County Mutual Insurance Company, and for the last two years its president.

SALISBURY TOWNSHIP.
The immense trap-dike that crosses the county from northeast to southwest passes through the villages of Springville, Spring Garden, Buyerstown, and Betha- nia. The soil in this "dike" is, when cleared of stones, particularly well adapted to the growth of wheat and other cereal crops. Tradition has it that the lowlands were covered with heavy forest, but the tops of the hills were partly bare. It is said that the hill north of Kinzer's was destitute of large trees, and a spectator on its summit might see deer grazing on the Mine Ridge.
Thoroughfares. -- The Pennsylvania Railroad passes through the southwestern part of the town- ship, and affords, at the Gap Station, the chief outlet for the produce of the valley. The Newport road, Lancaster and Philadelphia turnpike, old Philadel- phia and Lancaster road, and Peter's road were for- merly the great thoroughfares of travel, and are still in use.
Settlement .- Salisbury township derived its name from Salisbury in England, and was organized in 1729 out of a part of what was Pequea.
The early settlers were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Quakers. In the years 1700 and 1701 large tracts of land on the Pequea were sur- veyed for James Logan, Rebecca Shaw, Elizabeth Pace, John Marlow, and Thomas Story. Few, if any, settlements were made prior to 1710. From that time settlers continued to arrive from England and Ireland. The tax-list for 1720 shows that the resident land-owners at that time were few in number.
After the organization of the township, in 1729, the immigrants came in rapidly. The pioneers had many hardships to endure. After building a log house, the next thing was to clear a spot of ground for corn and potatoes, as these gave the first return for their labor. The hominy-block was a necessary article in every family. After they had succeeded in raising some wheat, it had to be taken many miles on pack- horses to mills in Chester County. Frequently the supply would run out in winter, and the family would be for weeks without bread. Gourds were largely used for drinking-cups, and in some cases the family took their milk and hominy from these rustic basins.
The oldest house in the township is probably the stone house now occupied by Rebecca Clemson. It was built about 1735 or 1736 by James Clemson, and still remains in the hands of the Clemsons.
List of non-resident land-holders on Pequea in 1708, with the number of acres:
James Logan, 1000 acres; Rebecca Shaw, 300; Elizabeth Pace, 250; John Marlow, 250; Thomas Story, 1768.
The following is the tax-list for Pequea for 1720,- it was then a portion of Chester County,-and the annexed valuation (in pounds) given to their estates :
