THE SETTLERS.
More than one hundred years ago General John Sulli- van led an expedition against the Indians in the Wyo- ming, Chemung and Genesee country, who had com- mitted such atrocious cruelties in the earlier years of the Revolutionary war. A number of the early settlers here were soldiers of the Revolution, and had seen service under Sullivan or other distinguished officers of the con- tinental army. They came from the granite hills of New Hampshire, the Green Mountains of Vermont, and the rich valleys of the Connecticut, and pitched their tents or established their rude cabins in the highlands of Tioga county, in the territory now known as Sullivan and Rutland townships. They were brave, intelligent and hardy pioneers, and brought with them the frugal habits and persevering energy of their New England an- cestry, and soon made the wilderness resound with the echoes of their well directed blows. As the territory of Tioga county was then divided, they located in Tioga and Covington townships.
The earliest settlements in Sullivan and Rutland town- ships were made as early as 1806. The years 1807-10 increased the number of families, and by 1817 they pe- titioned the court and were organized as the township of Sullivan, naming the township in honor of the brave General John Sullivan. The township then embraced what is now Sullivan, Ward, Union and Rutland town- ships. It was a territory situated in the highlands east of the Tioga Valley and west of Troy, Alba and Canton, in Bradford county. It abounded with wild game-deer, elk and bears. The same reciprocal favors of which we have spoken in other portions of this work characterized the intercourse between the early settlers of Sullivan. The logging bees, spinning bees, raisings, huskings, and all the gatherings which were in vogue in other portions of the county were well patronized among the pioneers of that day; and we occasionally meet one of them, who points back to those days with exceeding gratification and pleasure, and recalls to mind the happy days "when this our land was new."
Below is a list of taxables in the township of Sullivan for the year 1817. John Knox, Asa Mann, and Elijah Dupuy were commissioners, James Gray jr., assessor, David Lindsay clerk for the commissioners. The tax
was two-thirds of a cent on a dollar The appeal was to be held at the house of James Gray.

The first road through the township was the State road, constructed in 1807-8. This road ran nearly east and west. The next was the County road, cut out in 1808-9. Since that time roads have been opened run- ing in all directions through the townships of Sullivan and Rutland, connecting with those in Jackson, Armenia and Ward on the north, east and south, and with the roads to Covington, Canoe Camp, Mansfield, Lamb's Creek, Mill Creek and Tioga on the west. The roads of the township are convenient and in excellent condition. Doud came to Sullivan from Vermont in the year 1808 |The surface of the township is hilly, but the roads are laid out with such rare good judgment that heavy loads can be transported over them with ease.
and settled near Mainesburg. His family consisted of a wife and twelve children; the children now living are: Philemon, aged 82; Munson, aged 79; Peleg W., aged 72, and R. H., aged 69 years; they are all farmers ex- cepting R. H. Doud, who is now engaged in mercantile pursuits.
TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.
The affairs of the township did not get into due form until about the close of the year 1819. In the year 1820, March 17th, an election was held and the follow. ing named persons were chosen to the several offices: Supervisors, Ira Mudge, William Luddington; auditors, Benjamin Lawrence, Isaac Baker, Stephen Palmer, John King; constables, Isaac Dewey, Noah Rumsey; over- seers of the poor, Samuel Harding, Peleg Doud. Ira Mudge had 28 votes, William Luddington 32, Benjamin Lawrence 30, Isaac Baker 28, Stephen Palmer 32, John King 30, Isaac Dewey 29, Noah Rumsey 22, Samuel Harding 18 and Peleg Doud 18. The record was certi- fied March 17th 1820, by Samuel Harding and Isaac Halsey, judges, and by David Palmer jr. and Isaac S. Dewey.
The first election for the township was held in Gray's Valley; subsequent ones at the house of William Lud- dington, and still later they were held at Mainesburg. William Luddington, at whose house the elections were so long held, kept one of the best houses of entertain-
ment in northern Pennsylvania. He was one of those cheerful, large-hearted men whom the traveler delights to find for his host. He was one of the wealthiest men of the township in his day; was virtually the people's banker, and cheerfully loaned to his neighbors without interest.
The vote for township officers at the last election was reported at the time as follows:
Supervisors-O. F. Robbins, 95; L. R. Smith, 125. Justice of the peace-C. Strange, 103. Constable-L. Squires, 125. School directors-H. B. Card, 102; O. O. Dodge, 94: G. M. Smith, 84. Assessor-1. N.

ROADS.
CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS.
The first preacher in the township of Sullivan was Rev. Joseph Mitchell, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who preached at the log school-house near Allen Lane's, known as the Dewey school-house. This was about the year 1808.
The M. E. society now has at Mainesburg one of the finest structures in the county, built in 1875, at a cost of $13,000. It is of brick, with stained glass windows, slated roof, and a fine tower and spire. In the tower is a very fine bell. John D. Rumsey in a communication to the Wellsboro Agitator says:
Rev. Joseph Mitchell (M. E. clergyman) preached a sermon about the year 1808. He was at the time on a visit to his brother Ensign Mitchell, and preached at his house. About two years later Captain Thomas Lewis, an exhorter of the same church, commenced to hold meetings at the Diven school-house, which he kept up tor several years. He is spoken of as a devoted follower of Christ, and his efforts were productive of much good in assisting the spread of the Christian religion among the people. Several years after Captain Lewis com- menced his labors Rev. Mr. Warner organized a Methodist Episcopal class at the same point, which is said to have been the first religious organization within the township.

BUSINESS ENTERPRISES-MAINESBURG.
Rev. Mr. Power was the first Old School Baptist clergyman to enter the field. Soon afterward Rev. Mr. Ripley entered it and they both occupied it together, and about the year 1814 they organized a society at the residence of Deacon Peleg Doud, near Mainesburg.
About the year 1828 Rev. Mr. Whitehead, of the " Christian " denomination, preached several times at the residence of Oliver Rumsey, who at the time resided on the County road, near Rumsey Hill. Not long after this Rev. Norman Lamphere, of the same church, began to preach at the residence of James B. Dewey, on the State road. A short time thereafter Rev. Messrs. Pentecost, Sweetland and John Ellis began to labor in the town- ship, and soon a society was organized at Mr. Dewey's.
In the autumn of 1830 Rev. James H. Lamphere, of After Noah Rumsey sold his mill property to Mr. the Free-Will Baptist church, commenced to preach at Spencer he moved on to the hill south of Mainesburg, Rumsey Hill school-house, and the following winter a revival occurred under his labors. In the following spring he organized a church at that point. giving to the place the name of Rumsey Hill. There were three brothers, Jeremiah, Noah and Smith Rumsey, who were natives of Rutland county, Vt. There are a great number of the descendants of these brothers now

East Sullivan church; and the next one was that of the Methodist Episcopal society at Mainesburg.
The first school-house in the township was a log struc- ture, and stood near Allen Lane's. There are now in the township fifteen schools, and one in the borough of Mainesburg, with 204 male and 172 female scholars, a total of 376. The school-houses are generally new and well cared for, furnished with the necessary school ap- paratus.
PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT.
According to the statement of John D. Rumsey the first frame building erected in the township was a barn, built in 1808.
In 1816 John Gray started a store in Gray's Valley, hauling his goods by wagon from Philadelphia. This was the first store in Sullivan. Some time after this Timothy and Joseph Orvis started a store on King's Hill, some distance south of the State road, and after that Alvin Ames opened one on Ames Hill. Mrs. Gray's store was a framed structure; the others were built of logs. In 1832 John Fox opened a store at Mainesburg, the first one at that point. He sold goods at that place about forty years.
The first post-office in the township was established in 1814; Henry Rew postmaster. It was called "Sulli- van " post-office. The one at Mainesburg was not es- tablished until some years later, John Maine being the first postmaster. He was succeeded in the office by John Fox, who retained it several years.
About the year 1809 Noah Rumsey located where Mainesburg now is and erected a flouring-mill near the site of the present steam and water flouring-mill. The structure was of logs, with one run of stones taken from the Armenia Mountain. The mill was run by water, and was the first one in the township or vicinity. At that time where Mainesburg now stands was a dense wilderness; by the overflowing of the water timber was killed, and drawals and suspensions.
where the business portion of Mainesburg now is there was a mill pond thickly interspersed with dead trees, which, lifting their leafless arms heavenward, presented a scene somewhat resembling the shipping in a harbor. Mr. Rumsey after a few years sold the property to Jon- athan F. Spencer, and he a few years later sold it to John Maine, who afterward erected a distillery.
About the year 1831 Sylvester Bailey built a water power flouring-mill at a point now known as Chandler- burg. After he had used it many years it fell into the hands of C. Palmer, who repaired it and did quite a bus- iness.
The first saw-mill in the township was built by John Gray, about the year 1811.
MAINESBURG.
Mainesburg is situated on Corey Creek, about five miles southeast from Mansfield, and contains a hotel, five dry goods and general stores, two drug stores, two churches, a school-house, an Odd Fellows' hall, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, a grist-mill and about 40 dwellings. It was organized as a borough from the township of Sullivan in March 1859, and named after one of its prominent citizens, John Maine.
The first officers were: Burgess, John Fox; council- men, A. C. Witter, E. R. Maine, G. W. Carman, A. B. Austin, P. D. Parkhurst; treasurer, Alpheus Peters; street commissioners, D. S. Peters, G. W. Carman; col- lector, James Packard; secretary or clerk of council, A. C. Witter.

Mainesburg Lodge, No. 754, I. O. O. F. was organized March 15th 1871, by District Deputy Grand Master (). G. Gerould, of Covington. The first officers were: Peleg Doud, N. G .; R. F. Ashley, V. G .; A. M. Haight, seere- tary; (). T. Haight, treasurer. The lodge was organized with 19 charter members. The history of this lodge is one of many severe trials and difficulties, of which it is best not to speak. It has had its bright and its gloomy
days. Since its organization there have been 114 with-

DANIEL M. SHAW
is the only one surviving of the seven children of Joshua Shaw. He was born in Massachusetts, in 1808, and came to Tioga county with his parents in 1810. In 1835 he married Miss Jane Seaman, daughter of James and Mercy Seaman, of Bradford county, and the same year started out in life for himself by buying a farm of 90 acres in Sullivan, on which he still resides, now owning 235 acres. Mr. Shaw has had eleven children, of whom only five are now living. His son Byron enlisted in 186r in Company B foIst Pa. (cavalry) regiment, and died in 1864 in the rebel military prison at Florence, S. C. Mr. and horseback-a distance of eight miles.
The Mrs. Shaw are members of the Universalist church of Mansfield.
Joshua Shaw, the father of our subject, was born in 1764, in the town of Abington, Mass., and married Miss Sarah Hawes, of that State. In 1809 he came from his eastern home to Tioga county on foot, in company with Noah Nast, to look for a home. He selected and bought of Elijah Clark 106 acres of land in the Tioga Valley, between Lamb's Creek and Mansfield; then returned to his native State, and in the spring of 1810 brought his family to their new home. He was by trade a carpenter, and followed that business through life. He and his wife were among the original members of the old school Baptist church, and among the first to organize a society of their denomination in the eastern part of the county. Their place of worship was the residence of Peleg Dond, in Sullivan township, to which they frequently rode
RUTLAND TOWNSHIP AND ROSEVILLE. BY JOHN L. SEXTON JR.
T HE township of Rutland was organized from the townships of Sullivan and Jackson, in February 1828. It is bounded on the north by the township of Jackson, on the east by Bradford county, on the south by Sullivan and Richmond, and on the west by Tioga. Its principal stream is Mill Creek, which flows west- erly and empties into the Tioga River at Mill Creek station on the Tioga and Elmira State Line Railroad. Elk Run, a considerable creek, flows across its south- western boundary.
where the present borough of Roseville is located. It is not necessary to reproduce here the arguments that were advanced pro and con in the controversy. Suffice it to Rutland the spirit of envy and strife was not unknown. To call it by its mildest term, the spirit of rivalry was extant, and resulted in the formation of the township of Rutland. The heat of that early conflict has died out, but the 'recollection of it was for many years kept alive.

Like the inhabitants of Sullivan the citizens of the town- ship are in a prosperous and independent condition. The farms are under a good state of cultivation, with good dwellings and convenient barns and sheds, and the farmers are well provided with all the latest and most improved implements of husbandry. Corn, wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat are cultivated with success; to- bacco also has been raised, paying well for the labor con- nected therewith. The orchards are thrifty and well cared for, and the herds of neat cattle and sheep to be seen in the fields show that this is one of the finest dairy and agricultural townships of the county.
