HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY.

Baptist Churches, and withdrew to organize the Cole- rain Baptist Church, it being nearer their several homes. The first-named persons were from Beulah Church, situated in Chester County. The first min- ister was the Rev. Enos MI. Phillips, who served as pastor from 1843 to 1850. The succeeding ministers were as follows: Revs. HI. Essick, - Eisenbry, J. P. Hall, -- Lewis, - Still (who died here, after which his brother preached as a supply for a short time), D. J. R. Strayer, - Lear, E. M. Phillip-, W. O. Owens, Alfred Wells, Albert Whitmarsh, Jo- seph Sharp, and J. B. Soule, the present pastor. His pastorate began Oct. 1, 1881. There are at present one hundred and twenty-eight members, with church property valued at five thousand dollars.
There has been a Sabbath-school connected with the church since its organization. The first superin- tendent was Mr. Keech, elected April 13, 1844. The present superintendent is A. J. Matthews. The Sab- bath-school is largely attended, and doing good work.
Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church was organ- ized in 1828. The building, a stone edifice, was erected on a lot of land purchased from J. E. Cald- well, who then owned the Black Rock Forge prop- erty.
Among the first members were J. E. Caldwell, Michael B. Barr, Samuel L. Morrison, and Abraham Graff, the three latter forming the first board of trustees, The congregation worshiped in this church until 1878, when a neat and commodious edifice of brick was erected, the property now being worth about three thousand dollars. The present number of members is fifty. The Sabbath-school, held in the church, consists of eighty pupils, and is under the superintendence of Abram Stively. The average at- tendance is sixty-five. The church is at present under charge of Rev. F. M. Brady.

Black Rock Forge and Rock Furnace were built in 1800, by Thomas Clark, E-q., who had previously been a citizen of Chester County, Pa. His brother, Abijah Clark, subsequently had charge of the works, and afterwards the forge and furnace passed into the possession of James Sproule, who sold the works to Maj. John Caldwell, by whom the old forge was de- molished and Rock Furnace erected. This was sub- sequently sold to a Mr. Babbitt, and after passing through several hands came into the possession of Clement Brooke, of Berk-County, Pa., Charles Brooke, Jr., and William R. White, of Philadelphia. These gentlemen, under the firm-name of Charles Brooke, Jr. & Co., commenced operations in the spring of 1837. In 1839, Robert B. Cabine, of Philadelphia, became a partner, and the firm-name became Brooke,
The first officers were: W. C. T., William S. Bark- ley ; W. V. T., Emma Swisher ; W. C., J. E. Keylor; : Cabine & Co. Two years later Mr. Cabine retired

from the concern, and the remaining partners con- ducted the business till 1856, when operations at this place ceased, the real estate was sold to different par- ties, and Rock Furnace ceased to exist. Under the administrations of the Brookes many improvement- were made, lands in the vicinity were purchased and improved, dwellings and store-houses built, the works enlarged, and many hands employed in coaling, mining, hauling ore, etc. All this stimulated other business, and the cessation of operations was re- garded as a calamity to the township and surround- ing country.
White Rock Forge was located near what is now White Rock Station and post-office, on the line of the Peachbottom Narrow-Gauge Railroad. The buildings were commenced in 1830 by Frank Park and James Sproule. Park withdrew from the firm, and James Sproule finished the work. The forge was managed by John Alexander and Mr. Irvin for seven years, then by Mr. Alexander alone for twenty years. The latter then engaged in farming, and the business of the forge passed into the hands of Vincent and James King, who conducted it four years. After this William Baker had charge of it two years, when buisi- ness becoming dull the forge was allowed to stand idle. | zens of Colerain and vicinity :
The iron used in this forge came from Colebrooke, and was manufactured into bar iron and saw-plates, the bar iron being hauled in wagons to Wilmington and Lancaster, and the saw-plates to Penningtonville, and shipped cia the Pennsylvania Railroad to Philadel- phia. It took three hundred tons of pig iron to sup- ply the forge one year, this amount making about two hundred tons when manufactured. Two thou- sand cords of wood were used per year. Nine forge- men, together with a number of woodchoppers and colliers, were employed. The dam, in connection with the forge, covered forty acres of land. Jacob Handley was the first clerk at the forge. The other clerks were Moore Irvin, Vincent King, and James King. When the forge business ceased, Mr. Sproule sold the greater part of his land to Thomas Whitson, and the remaining portion, that on which the forge was built, to Frank Hobson. The latter sold to Alex- ander W. Morrison, who tore down the forge build- ings, so that but few traces of them remain. This property is now owned by James King, of Little Britain township.
The property now owned and occupied by Levi Barnett, purchased by him in 1869, formerly belonged to the White Rock Forge Company, and the house in which he lives was the forge company's " Mansion House," and on the west side of it, in what is now a part of the door-yard, stood the company's store and warehouse. Could the old spot of ground talk, many pleasing incidents might be related.
Pioneer Mills .- Colerain is amply supplied with water-power. The early inhabitants seem to have ap- preciated this advantage, as quite a number of mills were in operation at a very early date. Among these
was Samuel Reynolds' saw-mill, built about 1790, and situated on west branch of Octorara, about three hundred yards north of where White Rock Forge afterwards stood. The mill was in operation until about 1830.
A saw-null and nail-factory, situated near the eon- fluence of the two branches of Octorara Creek, was operated by Phineas Ash. The date of erection is not exactly known, but was a few years prior to 1820.
Morrison and Beyers' mills were situated on the main branch of Octorara. The grain raised in those days found a market in Newport, carried thence on horse- baek, there being no road-wagons used then. Instead of wagons, what were known as " sled-cars" were used for conveying articles from one point on the larm to another. No fences were built, deep ditches being dug to mark the line between farms.
Military .- The early settlers in and before 1756 were Robert Anderson, farmer; Joshua Anderson, farmer; Joshua Anderson, Jr., farmer; and Samuel Ander-on, Esq., who in 1756 raised a company of as- sociators during the French and Indian war. Joshua Anderson was his lieutenant, and John Barkley was ensign. The company was composed entirely of citi-

It will be seen from this list that up to the year 1758 a clean list of Scotch- Irish were settled in Cole- rain. A few years later the Whitesides came into the township. At the commencement of the Revo- lution, Thomas Whiteside was appointed one of the justices' for Colerain and Bart townships, and re-

mained in commission for more than thirty years. lle had two sons, Abraham and James. The White- sides in Lancaster came from this family, and also those who resided in Little Britain township are sup- posed to belong to the same. In 1777, Col. James and was at the battle of Brandywine, on the 11th of September, 1777. This battalion was entirely raised in Colerain, Bart, Little Britain, and Drumore town- ships. Lieut .- Col. James Porter was from Drumore.
The major, Dovington Wilson, was from one of the adjoining townships.
The first lieutenants were John Cunningham, Colerain ; Robert Miller, Joseph Walker, Little Britain ; Thomas Clark, Robert King, Drumore (Robert King and Samuel King, who went from Marietta to Lancaster, are descendants of this King) ; James Patterson, Little Britain or Drumore (there were families of same name in both townships) ; John Caldwell was from Little Britain or Drnmore ; William Ramsey, Drumore.
Second lieutenants : John Dunean, Alexander Hason, Joseph Tweed, John Reed, Thomas Neal, Samuel Jamison, William Calhoun (this was prob- ably a relative of John C. Calhoun, as the father of the latter came from that neighborhood), John Shan- non.
John Gable and Abner and Jesse Davis served as soldiers in the war of 1812.
Colerain sent the following soldiers during the eivil war : Patterson MeCommon, James HI. McCom- mon, Robert Richardson, John Richardson, Madison Lovett, Lorenzo Loomis, and John Phillips.
CHAPTER XLV.
CONESTOUA TOWNSItIP .!
Geographical and Descriptive .- This township was formed as early as 1712, and originally em- braced a territory much greater in extent than at the present time. In 1853, Pequea township was formed from the eastern part of it, at which time the boundaries were materially changed. As now defined, its boundaries are Manor township on the northwest, Lancaster township on the north, Pe- quea township on the east, Martie township on the south, and the Susquehanna River on the west. It contains contains about nineteen thousand six hun- dred acres of land, surface rolling, and the soil of
excellent fertility and well cultivated, containing some of the best farms to be found in Laneaster County. The population in 1880 was two thousand five hundred and fifty.
It contains at present six hotels, seven stores, three cigar manufactories, five post-offices, two grist-mills, churches, ten schools, and one tannery. There were in 1883 six hundred and thirteen taxables. Value of real and personal property is a little over one million five hundred thousand dollars.

Conestoga's Claim to the First Seat of Justice. -It was in Conestoga township that the first court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace was hell, at the house of John Postlethwait, for the county of Lancaster, the 5th day of August, in the third year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord, the second, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ire- land, King, Defender of the Faith, etc.
The Postlethwait's Property was the same now owned by George J. Fehl. John Postlethwait and Mary, his wife, owned five tracts of land at this place, on which he loaned, from the trustees of the loan- office (Charles Norris, Thomas Leech, Mahlon Kirk- bride, Francis Yarnell, and John Wright) on the 15th day of October, 1742, a certain sum of money, pay- able in installments, and gave a " blanket" mortgage on these five tracts, about five hundred and fifty acres. Being unable to meet his payments, by virtue of an act of Assembly in such cases made and provided, the loan commissioners sold the properties in June, 1756, for tive hundred and two pounds.
"The property was bought by Joseph Pugh with the approbation of the loan commissioners, who instructed him to convey the several properties to such parties as the children of John Postlethwait's might direet,
and to whom they undoubtedly had made sales pre- viously, although the act of Assembly required the mortgage to be foreclosed. It is evident, from the mannet in which this unpleasant duty was performed, that Mr. Postlethwait was held in the highest esteem by them.
Other Old Properties .- On the 5th day of June, 1727, a tract of land was surveyed and granted to Benedict E-hleman (six hundred acres). This tract is now owned by Christian E. Miller, Christian Har- nish, George A. Tripple, and others. On the one owned by Mr. Miller, Eshleman built a house in 1759, on the one owned by Mr. Harnish he built in 1764, and later he built on the one owned by Mr. Tripple. All of these houses are occupied at present, and from their appearance look as though several generations more might pass away before they are necessarily worn out.
Pioneer Dwellings .- The oldest dwelling-houses in the township are Christian E. Miller's, built by Benedict Eshleman in 1759; Christian Harnish's, built by Benedict Eshleman in 1764; Jacob Baus- man's, built by Henry Stehman in 1767.
