Mr. Taylor had no political ambition. Capable of filling any position within the gift of his fellow-citi- zens, he aspired only to lead a useful life, and acquire a competence for himself and family. Whatever he undertook to do he did well, but he had no desire to shine in public. He filled several township offices, and served one term as county auditor, but he con- sented to be elected only because he thought it his duty to bear a portion of the public burdens. Few men have ever lived imbued with higher courage, sounder judgment, purer patriotism, or more spotless integrity.

CHAPTER LXV.

MANOR TOWNSHIP.1

Location and Limits .- Manor township, the wealthiest and most populous township in Laneaster County, occupies a tract of country embracing twenty- five thousand seven hundred aeres, or a little over forty square miles, in the western portion of Lancas- ter County, about midway between the northern and southern boundaries of the county. The Susquehanna River forms its western and southwestern boundary, and the Conestoga Creek its southern aud southeastern limits. Lancaster township is on the east, and East and West Hempfield on the north, East Hempfield being separated from Manor by the Columbia and Lancaster turnpike, and West Hempfield by a bound- ary line on the top of a ridge of hills beginning near the Columbia turnpike, at a point near the southeast- ern corner of West Hempfield. The population of Manor township in 1880 was five thousand and fifty- three.

Original and Present Extent .- Manor township embraces the whole of the original Conestoga Manor of a century and a half ago, with an additional tract on the north about half as extensive. Conestoga Manor, when surveyed and laid out in 1717-18, em- braeed seventeen thousand acres, including the two original five-hundred-acre tracts owned by James Logan and Jobn Cartlige in the southern part of the township. The northern boundary of the original Conestoga Manor was a line running from a point marked by a locust-tree on the banks of the Susque- hanna, on the site of the present borough of Wash-

to the township. Otherwise the present boundaries of the township are the same as the original limits,- Lancaster township on the east, the Conestoga Creek on the southeast and south, and the Susquehanna River on the west and southwest.

Surface .- The surface of Manor township is rolling and hilly throughout. In the southwestern portion is what is called Turkey Hill, which extends along the Susquehanna River, a distance of about four and a half miles in a northwesterly and southeasterly di- rection, about a mile and a half in width. Within the western half of the northern part is a hill of con- siderable elevation, along the top of which runs the boundary line between Manor and West Hempfield townships, this hill being about four miles in length. Otherwise there are no considerable hills except along the streams.

Streams .- The eastern portion of Manor is inter- sected by the Little Conestoga Creek, which crosses that portion of the township, first in a southwesterly, then in a southerly direction, and empties into the Conestoga at a point about two miles above the mouth of the Conestoga. The northern and central part of Manor is intersected by the west branch of the Little Conestoga, which runs first in a southerly, then in a southeasterly direction, and empties into the Little Conestoga about two miles above its mouth. Indian Town Run is a small stream about two and a half miles in length, running in a southeasterly direction, . having its source to the north of the site of the old Indian town, and emptying into the Little Cones- toga nearly a mile above the mouth of the latter. Besides these there are a number of small streams.

Soil and Products .- The soil of Manor is a rich limestone. The cereals produced are wheat, eorn, and oats, but tobacco is the principal staple produet. Of this farmers cultivate large fields, ranging from ten to twenty acres. This tobacco is cultivated partly by the farmers themselves, partly by others on shares. The tobacco crop of Manor is the great source of its wealth, and this township produces more than any | other in Laneaster County, Manor has always taken ' rank as a rich agricultural section, Its inhabitants are mainly devoted to that kind of industry, and there are no manufacturing establishments in the township except the usual mechanical employments to be found anywhere,-a woolen factory near Safe Harbor and an agricultural implement factory in Millersville. The Proprietors of Pennsylvania and their agents early knew of the fertility of the Cones- toga Manor, and were desirous of settling this section

Indian History .- Manor was the theatre of some .

of the most important occurrences in the Indian his- "had obtained grants of land on the northwestern bor- tory of Lancaster County. The Susquehannock In- dian- had a fort near the Susquehanna River, between Turkey Hill and Blue Rock. In the southern por-' tion of this great township was the famous Indian town of the Conestogas, a small and inoffensive tribe of Indians. The town lay to the east of Turkey Hill, about two miles west and north of the Conestoga Creek, and about one mile west of the Little Cones- toga, on the land which afterwards came into the possession of the Mellinger family, and which is now

which were a part of Chester County until 1729, when Lancaster County was organized. These emigrants were Mennonites, as the followers of Menno Simon, a worthy cotemporary of Luther, were called. The Mennonites of the Palatinate and Switzerland led simple and religious lives as peasants. Their peculiar manners, simplicity of dress and manners, aversion to the use of law and to military services having sub- jected them to rigorous persecution in their native homes on the banks of the Rhine and among the Alps, they came to seek a refuge from persecution in departed, and not a vestige remains where Indian | the English Quaker province of Pennsylvania.

acres, thus leaving Cartlige only three hundred acres. These tracts were exceedingly hilly.

Two whites, who were celebrated as Indian traders, ders of Conestoga Manor. These were Peter Chartier, a French Jesuit, and James Patterson, a Scotch-Irish- man. Chartier's land lay on the east bank of the Susquehanna, on and east of the site of the upper part of the present borongh of Washington ; Patter- " son's farm of two hundred acres lay directly east of Chartier's tract.

First German Mennonite Settlers in Conestoga Manor .- During the early years of the eighteenth century many German and Swiss emigrants accepted owned by Jacob H. Habecker. Here the Indian ' William Penn's offer, and took up lands in the rich chiefs of various tribes met the whites to make the ' limestone valleys of the Pequen and Conestoga regions, treaties which ultimately led to a peaceful settlement of the troubles that had hindered the development of the early settlements in the immediate vicinity and the county at large. Here the sachems of the Six Nations assembled to negotiate with the provincial Governors for the establishment of peace, and to com- plain of the various outrages committed by the white traders, who deluded the aborigines. Here the first massacre of the Conestoga Indian- occurred, an event which caused many atrocities and much bloodshed. But the days of their glory and their possessions have

Many of them settled in the Conestoga Manor and took up lands therein, after Hill, Norris, and Logan had issued a warrant directed to Jacob Taylor, sur- veyor-general, to survey Conestoga Manor, in 1718. Among the early German Mennonite families who For detailed accounts of Indian Town, of James Patterson and Peter Chartier, noted as Indian traders, settled in the Conestoga Manor were the Herrs, the Banghmans, the Mayers, the Shanks, the Killhavers, the former a Scoteb-Irishman and the latter a French , the Funks, the Kaufmans, the Hostetfers, the Ober- Jesuit, the reader is referred to the general history of the county in another portion of this volume. holtzers, the Zieglers, the Witmers, the Kendigs, the Lintners, the Wisslers, the Millers, the Newcomers, the Corrells, or Charleses, and others. These German families gradually settled in Manor during the half- century before the Revolution. A few English fami- lies still retained land here, the most noted being the Wrights. The descendants of many of these early settlers still live on the lands obtained by their ances- tors, but many of the original families have become extinct.

First Appearance of Whites in Conestoga Manor .- Early in the eighteenth century, while Lancaster County was yet a part of Chester, two Scotch-Irishmen -- James Logan and John Cartlige -- had each obtained tracts of land, of five hundred acres, in the southern part of the Conestoga Manor. These traets lay between the famous Indian Town on the north and the Conestoga Creek on the south, and be- tween the Little Conestoga on the east and Turkey Early Patentees to Lands in Conestoga Manor. -The whole western half of the Conestoga Manor remained unsettled until long after the rest of the township had been taken up. The portion of this occupied section north of Turkey Hill, embracing about three thousand acres, was retained by the Penn family. The northeastern section, embracing fifteen hundred aeres, had first been granted to Andrew Hamilton, Esq., of Philadelphia, then one of the most eminent lawyers of America. Ifill on the west, a little northeast of the site of the present Safe Harbor. Both these tracts were bounded on the south by the Conestoga. Logan's five hundred ! acres lay just to the west of the Little Conestoga, the southeastern point touching the Conestoga at an elm- tree at the month of the Little Conestoga. Cartlige's five hundred aeres lay to the west of Logan's traet, the southwestern point of his land touching the Cones- toga at a black-oak tree on the bank of the Cones- toga, at the first bend of the stream just above the May 3, 1729, Andrew Cornish and his wife Eliza- beth sold three hundred acres of land at the mouth present Safe Harbor.

.Conestoga Manor was surveyed for the use of the Proprietary in 1717-18, according to the following order to Jacob Taylor, surveyor-general :

"'These are to authorize and require thee without any delay to survey or cause to be surveyed all that tract of land lying between Susquehannah river and Conestoga creek, from the mouth of said creek as far up the river as the land already granted to Peter Chartier, and then by a line running from the said river to Conestoga creek, all which traet of land for the proper use and behoof of William Penn, Esq., Proprietary and Governor-in-Chief of the said Prov- inee, his heirs and assigns forever. Given under our hands, March 1, 1717-1718.'

It was afterwards sold in small tracts and . part began to be settled, and grist-mills and saw-mills patented. The following were the principal pat- | were erected in all parts.

Timber was cut down and large tracts were rapidly cleared and converted into highly- productive fields, and orchards were planted. The village of Millersville was laid out before the Revo- lution, and a tavern was erected on the site of the present " Black Horse" abont 1769 or 1770. The toil and industry of the Swiss and German settlers in Manor soon made that township the most highly- productive agricultural district in the county. A Mennonite meeting-house was early erected in the centre of the township, on the land now owned by C. B. Herr. The northern boundary of Manor was pushed about a mile and a half north of the original line.
