"Rustick Defeat" was a tract of land of two.hun- dred and fifteen acres which was warranted to Richard Hawkins, and the survey was made June 15, 1786. This property was partially bounded by that of Adam Weaver, Josiah Crawford, and George Myers, also early settlers in West Bethlehem township.

John and Henry Conkle came into this section as early as 1784, and both received Virginia certificates for large tracts of land, John taking three hundred and eighty acres called "Solitude," and Henry three hundred and ninety-two acres named "German." The entire Conkle property is now owned by William Conkle.

Col. Thomas Crooks came into the territory of West Bethlehem township, and on a Virginia certificate took up a tract of land on Pigeon Creek, which was called "Richard's Valley." This property was sur- veyed to Mr. Crooks Feb. 25, 1785. Col. Crooks was a man prominent in all local and public affairs, and held many offices of importance and trust. He died

WEST BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP.

Feb. 25, 1815, aged eighty years, and his widow, Mrs. Judith Crooks, died April 30, 1823, at the age of eighty-three years. The homestead upon which they lived and died is now owned by Jacob Swagler. At the death of Col. Crooks the Reporter, of Washington, published the following :

" RICHARD'S VALLEY, Feb. 25, 1815.

" Died .- This morning, at this place, in his old mansion, at half-past five o'clock, that worthy old patriot, Thomas Crooks, of West Bethlehem township, where he was among the first emigrants in the western country, and was early on the stage of public business. In the militia he was an officer of high rank at the beginning of the Revolution, was alert in routing the savages to the westward, was a zealous patriot throughout the Revolutionary war, and presided many years as a jus- tice of the peace. lle was a very warm friend and an implacable enemy. He bore a severe and lingering illness with resigned patience."

John, Adam, and Peter Weaver were brothers of German descent who came to this township at an early date. Two tracts of land were warranted to Adam. The first was "Long Green," containing three hun- dred and ninety-nine acres, situate on a branch of Daniels Run. The second tract adjoined the first, was warranted to him Sept. 25, 1789, and surveyed June 24, 1790, under the title of "Short Green." The property of Adam Weaver was left by him to his wife 'and children at his death, which occurred in 1820. The sons were Daniel and Abraham Weaver, and the daughters were Catharine and Ann Weaver. From their marriages numerous descendants have come, among whom are Adam G., Solomon, Jacob, and Daniel Weaver. Levi Matthews and Daniel Green- lee are also descendants of Adam Weaver, and they, with Adam G. Weaver, now own the original settler's property. John Weaver, who resides near Hills- borough, in this township, is also of the family. Adam G. Weaver is a prominent member of the " Fairview Methodist Episcopal . Church," and is the class-leader of that society. He has been married twice. His present wife was Miss Hill.

Peter Drake received a Virginia certificate for three hundred and thirty-three and one-half acres of land in West Bethlehem township, which was surveyed to him Jan. 28, 1785, and was bounded by the tracts of Isaac Leonard, Henry Coonrad, Jacob White, and William Wallace.

Andrew Wise, who followed his sons into this town- ship after they had located here, was a German, born at Hesse-Darmstadt in the year 1754. He died here in 1848, and was buried in the Wise graveyard. Peter and Adam Wise were brothers of Andrew. They came from east of the mountains, and both located large tracts of land. Peter Wise's tract was situated on the North Fork of Ten-Mile Creek. It contained three hundred and fifty-six acres, and was surveyed to him Jan. 26, 1785, under the title of "The Fishery." When Peter Wise secured this property he soon built a mill upon it, which he had completed before the survey was made. The mill was located in a bend of the creek, the race, which was about seventy rods in length, running from the lower part

of the pond across the bend, and having a fall of about twelve feet. This mill was in operation for many years, and only divided the milling business after 1836 with the Ullery mill, which was built about one mile above the Wise mill in that year. Previous to that date it had controlled the entire trade of all of West Bethlehem, and part of East Bethlehem and Amwell townships, and some of Greene County.

Peter Wise had several children, among whom were the sons, Andrew, Adam, and Peter, and a daughter named Hannah. Adam and Peter both re- moved to Ohio and settled near Canton. Hannah married Jacob Zollers, and to her Peter Wise, Sr., gave seventy-six acres of his land. To his son An- drew he gave one hundred acres, which Andrew afterwards disposed of. In 1818, Peter Wise sold the mill-site to his brother Adam, who bought it for his sons, Frederick and Joseph Wise, whose descendants still own it.

Adam Wise, one of the brothers who settled in this township at an early date, located his land adjoining that of his brother, and according to the present division lines it is in both Washington and Greene Counties. Adam Wise had six sons and two daugh- ters,-George, Samuel, David, Frederick, Joseph, Solomon, Rebecca, and Elizabeth Wise. Rebecca became the wife of Peter Crumrine, and removed to Ohio. Elizabeth married Jacob Shidder, and settled in West Bethlehem, on the farm now occupied by John Wherry. Most of their children went to Ohio. One son, Joseph Shidder, became a physician, and practiced and died in this township. Jacob Shidder, Jr., another son, is living in Amwell township. George Wise, the oldest son of Adam Wise, settled- on Ruff's Creek, in Greene County, but later moved to Marshall County, Ill., where he died. He was a member of the religious society called Dunkards. Samuel Wise, the second son, lived for a while near the village of Hillsborough, but subsequently removed to Knox County, Ohio. David Wise, the third son, located on a portion of the homestead property, and also purchased the Praker farm adjoining. David Wise lived and died upon this farm and left a large family of children, nearly all of whom went to the Western States. The son Henry remained in West Bethlehem and still resides here. Three of the sons of David Wise, as well as two of his grandsons, were preachers of the Dunkard faith. The fourth son, Frederick Wise, lived on the mill property which his father purchased of Peter Wise, Sr. He died on the place in 1876, and his son, Joseph B. Wise, now owns the property, as well as the seventy-six acres given by Peter Wise to his daughter, Mrs."Hannah Zollers. Joseph B. Wise is justice of the peace. Frederick Wise had two daughters; one of them, Margaret, mar- ried James C. Hawkins. Of their sons, Dr. A. W. Hawkins is a surgeon in the navy, and Col. A. Haw- kins served as colonel of the Tenth Regiment of the State of Pennsylvania.

The fifth son of Adam Wise was Joseph. He came to be joint owner, with his brother Frederick, of the Peter Wise mill property, and lived upon it until his death. He left quite a large family of children. Of these, Samuel is in Kansas. Hon. Morgan R. Wise resides in Waynesburg, Greene Co., and is a repre- sentative in Congress from that district. Of the daughters of Joseph Wise, Elizabeth became Mrs. William Stewart, of Greene County ; Mary married J. M. Day, of Morris township; Rebecca married Eli Tombaugh; Maria became the wife of Dr. J. P. Shields, of Pittsburgh; and Barbara became Mrs. Albert Hill, and located in West Bethlehem township. The youngest son of Adam Wise was Solomon Wise. He inherited the greater part of the homestead. In 1854 he sold it to Dr. James Braden, and removed to Marshall County, Ill., where he died. None of his family reside in this township.

Eleazer Jenkins was living in this township pre- vious to 1789, and in February of that year was hold- ing the offices of justice of the peace and judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He had also served as captain in the Washington County militia.

Peter Mowl came from Germany, settling first in the State of Maryland, but afterwards removed to this township, where he purchased a part of the Shidder property. This came into the possession of his son, Abram Mowl, at the father's death, and he also died upon the place (in 1861). During his life Abram Mowl held the office of director of the poor. Solomon and Charles M. are sons of Abram Mowl, and are still living upon the old farm.

Henry Hildebrand came from Germany and settled in this township, purchasing the property where his son, M. Hildebrand, now lives. This son was born in West Bethlehem and married Christine Harsh, daugh- ter of Philip Harsh, also of West Bethlehem town- ship. M. Hildebrand is now nearly ninety years of age. His sons, D. and H. J. Hildebrand, reside near their father and the homestead.

George and John Sowers were sons of Michael Sowers, who was a German. They all lived in West Bethlehem. George Sowers was married twice, his first wife being Miss Gardner, the mother of Levi Sowers. This son married Cynthia Enoch, daughter of David Enoch, Jr. They lived upon a farm in Greene County, about four miles west of Waynes- burgh, but finally inherited and moved to the old Enoch homestead. John Sowers married three times. He removed to the oil regions in this State, where his family still reside.

Joseph Lawrence lived on Pigeon Creek, in West Bethlehem, on the section north of the National road. He was married twice, and the children were Joseph, Jr., George Vaneman, Samuel, and a daughter who became the wife of Andrew Moore. Joseph Lawrence, Sr., was a member of Congress, and died at the Na- tional capital in 1842. George V. Lawrence married Elizabeth Welsh and resides in Monongahela City,

where he has held many public offices, including that of member of Congress and State senator.

The tract of land early settled by Erasmus Nichols adjoined the village of Hillsborough on the south- west. His family of ten children were five sons and five daughters. The son James married Nancy Ke- hoe; Stephen married Margaret Wise; William married Rebecca Smith; Atkinson married Sarah Hoover; Erasmus Nichols, Jr., died unmarried. The daughter Nancy became Mrs. Gabriel Trugo; Eliza- beth married Jeremiah Coleman; Eleanor married David Phillips; Margaret became Mrs. Joseph Sar- geant; and Sarah Ann was the wife of John Barnes.

John Sargeant settled at an early day upon a tract of land on Plum Run, south of Hillsborough, and the property is now owned and occupied by his grand- son and namesake, John Sargeant. He had a family of nine children,-six sons and three daughters. The son James married Susan Crumrine; Margaret be- came the wife of John W. Spohn; Joseph married Margaret Nichols; John married Sarah Baker; Val- entine married Susan Conaway ; William's wife was Susan Garee; Sarah Ann became Mrs. William Baker; and Nancy and Thomas remained unmarried.

The exact date of the settlement of the Tombaugh family in the county was about the time of the closing of the Revolutionary war. George Tombaugh and his young brother, Matthias, were the only children of their parents, and, so far as known, were at the time of their parents' death the only representatives of the name in America. Previous to the date of their immi- gration they had lived at Georgetown, D. C. They were of German extraction, and were possessed of the in- dustry, frugality, and patient endurance which are characteristic of that race. The young men, George and Matthias, had abundant reason for the exercise of their industry and frugality, for whatever may have been the pecuniary means of their parents at George- town, they came into this county without a penny. George, indeed, had a shilling in his pocket before crossing the Monongahela, but by some means lost it while crossing the river. With characteristic energy they went to work, and in time accumulated enough to purchase a tract of land on South Pigeon Creek, which since that time has been held in the family name.

The younger brother, Matthias, enlisted under Gen. Harmar, and participated in the defeat at Chillicothe. When the command was given to Gen. St. Clair, Mat- thias remained with the army, and was killed in the disastrous campaign that succeeded.

The older brother, George (who was born Aug. 8, 1768), was now the only living representative of the name in America. He took an active part in Indian wars which harassed the inhabitants of the Ohio bor- der, and fought under Col. Crawford, who fell a vic- tim to savage ferocity in 1782.

Some time after 1782, George Tombaugh was mar- ried to Elizabeth Gardener, who was born March 2,

1758. To them were born seven children, as follows : Christina, born 1787, married George Swihart, and moved to Ohio ; Elizabeth, born 1788, married Daniel Wise, and moved to Ohio; Jacob, born 1790, married Susan Wise, and also moved to Ohio; Matthias, born 1792, married Rachel Spohn; George, born 1796, married Susan Myers, and emigrated to Indiana ; Solomon, born 1798, married Catharine Horn, and moved to Ohio; Sarah, born 1801, married George Myers, also moved to Ohio. Of these all are dead except Sarah, who still resides in Holmes County, Ohio.

The elder George Tombaugh lived on his farm on South Pigeon Creek till his death, which occurred Nov. 5, 1832. The Tombaughs now living in the county are all descendants of Matthias, who, as before mentioned, was born in 1792, and in 1822 was married to Rachel Spohn. To them were born ten children, eight sons and two daughters, viz. : Solomon, born in 1824, married Lydia Letherman; John, born 1827, married Louise Hosack ; Levina, born 1829, married Jacob Swagler; George, born 1831, married Harriet Colvin; Mary, born 1833, married Andrew Hilde- brand; Matthias, born 1834, married Jane Lether- man ; Eli, born 1836, married Rebecca Wise; Isaac and Jacob (twins), born 1839 (Isaac lives at the home- stead, and Jacob, who married Jennie Ostrander, lives in Illinois) ; Adam, born 1842, married Florence Letherman. Of these children of Matthias and Ra- chel Tombaugh, all are living except Mary and Le- vina, and of the survivors, all except George, Mat- thias, and Jacob, are living in Washington County. Matthias Tombaugh lived all his life on the farm of his father. He died in 1864.

The Buckingham family came originally from Eng- land and located near the city of Philadelphia. Soon after, they removed to Washington County, and set- tled in West Bethlehem, where William and Enoch Buckingham, lineal descendants of the family, still reside and own the farms of the pioneers of the fam- ily. Isaac Buckingham lived on Ten-Mile Creek, upon the present farm of Mr. Overholt. He married Miss Eaton, and had a family of several children, of whom Col. John Buckingham was the oldest. The son Henry married Mary Morton, and settled in Mor- gan township, Greene Co. Mrs. Robert Morton was a daughter of Isaac Buckingham.

Stephen Hill, an early resident of West Bethlehem, was born in Ireland. . He lived in Bradford County in this State, but finally came to this section, and set- tled on Plain Run, where he erected a distillery and a horse-mill. His wife was Mary Welsh, and their family consisted of five sons and four daughters. Of these, Eleanor, Mary, and Stephen Hill, Jr., died un- married ; George Hill married Nancy Speer ; Nancy married Bennett Morton ; John married Susan Haw- kins ; William married Elizabeth Morton; Robert married Mary Merrell ; and Margaret died in child- hood.

Christopher Sunedecker came from Germany, and located in this township near Ten-Mile. In 1801 he purchased half of a four hundred acre tract, owned by one of the Shedder family. The wife of Christo- pher Sunedecker lived to the extreme old age of ninety-six years. Their son, George Sunedecker, was born in West Bethlehem, and also died in the town- ship, leaving a son, Jacob Sunedecker, who now lives on the old homestead.

Dickinson Roberts took up a tract of land in West Bethlehem township at a very early date. His son, Leonard Roberts, was a prominent member of the Methodist Church in his day, and a stanch worker in the old Methodist Chapel near their home. Asa Roberts, a son of Leonard Roberts, was born on the homestead.

Peter Eller came to this township soon after 1800, and purchased seventy-five acres of land, which he soon after sold, and bought one hundred and sixty acres of Christian Ufford, on the south fork of Daniels' Run, above Christopher Cox's, and below Thomas Rees and Caspar Rickett, and also adjoining the lands of John Crumrine and Jacob Shedder. Henry Eller, son of the settler, Peter Eller, lives on the tract which his father purchased from Ufford.

Samuel Weir settled on Pigeon Creek, in West Bethlehem, on a farm now owned by his grandson of the same name. Samuel Weir married a Miss Rob- inson. They had seven children, whose names were as follows : Thomas, Adam, James, Samuel, William, Jane, and Lavina. Thomas married Nancy White- hill, and remained on Pigeon Creek. Adam married Mary Hall, and resides near the old homestead. James married Miss Lawrence, an aunt of the Hon. George V. Lawrence; his second wife was a Miss Jenkins : he resides on Pigeon Creek. William mar- ried a Miss Jane Lawrence, sister to James' wife. Samuel lived on the home farm. Jane (Mrs. James Robinson) is now living in Westmoreland County, Pa., near Ligonier. Lavina (Mrs. James Irwin) re- sides on Pigeon Creek, in West Bethlehem township.

On Nov. 9, 1802, Christopher Clouse bought one hundred acres of land of Noah and Thomas D. Sum- mers, heirs of Benjamin Summers. This land was on Pigeon Creek, near the town of Hillsborough, where Mr. Clouse settled in 1812, when he came from Lancaster County to West Bethlehem township, and purchased more land of Stephen Hill. Christopher Clouse was a blacksmith, and when the National road was built he had a shop on the road, where he worked at his trade until 1824. From that place he removed to Martinsville, and lived ,there until 1835, then went to West Finley to reside with his son Daniel Clouse, where he died in 1854. Christopher Clouse had ten children, of whom Daniel was the eldest, being born the year his father came to this township. Two of his daughters are still living,- Mary Clouse, of Burnsville, West Finley township, and Mra. Eli Horace, of Martinsville.

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

Valentine Kinder was the owner of the tract "Val- entine;" claim assigned to him by George Kinder, warranted to him Jan. 26, 1785, and surveyed to him April 8th of the same year. It contained 268 acres, adjoining James Crawford, Peter Lesley, Abraham Hartman, and David Ruble.

" Hyde Park" tract was warranted to Neal Gilles- pie Feb. 9, 1785; surveyed, December 6th, same year. Location on waters of Ten-Mile Creek ; contents, 412 acres ; adjoining Adam Weaver, Ezekiel Barnes, and William Miller. Situation about one mile south of the site of the town of Hillsborough.

" White Oak Flat" tract was warranted to Thomas Lackey, and surveyed May 10, 1785. Contents, 387 acres, and located adjoining Richard Lackey, who, on the same date, had surveyed to him a tract of 488 acres, called in the survey " Black Oak Flat."

"The Ant" tract, on the north fork of Ten-Mile, was surveyed, Nov. 10, 1784, to Myles Hayden, and patented Sept. 29, 1788. The present owners of this tract are Adam Horn, James M. Horn, and S. G. Bane.

"German" tract, 416 acres, taken on Virginia cer- tificate by Henry Conkle; surveyed to him April 23, 1785; resurveyed on Pennsylvania warrant, Feb. 11, 1788; patented, June 13th, same year, as 392 acres. John Conkle (presumably a brother of Henry) took up on Virginia certificate the tract of 380 acres, which was surveyed to him March 4, 1784; warranted to him by Pennsylvania, Feb. 11, 1788, and resurveyed June 13, 1788.

Adam Simon warranted the tract of three hundred and forty-three and three-fourths acres, which was sur- veyed to him as two hundred and fifty-two and three thirty-seconds acres, and named in the survey " De- spair" (whether the name given it had any reference to the "shortage" in area is not known). The tract is described as adjoining James Barnett, Ezekiel Breaden, George Daneer, Thomas Richardson, and Frederick Teague. Adam Simon died, and on April 18, 1797, the tract was sold to Nicholas Simon by the heirs, who were Michael Simon, Catherine Simon (Mrs. George Daneer), Andrew Simon, Jacob Simon, Agnes Simon (Mrs. Michael Beltz), Elizabeth Simon (Mrs. Philip Strong, of Huntingdon County), Mar- garet Simon (Mrs. George Wright, of Franklin County), and Mary Simon (Mrs. James Stall, of Franklin Co., Pa.). Except as indicated in the above mention of the heirs of Adam Simon, his children settled in Washington County in locations not far re- moved from the homestead of their father.

" Buck's Haunt" was the name of the tract of land granted to Daniel Letherman on a Virginia certifi- cate, and surveyed to him May 2, 1785. It was located next the land of James Braden, and contained three hundred and ninety-three acres. Demas Letherman, his son, lived in this township and died here some three years ago at about sixty years of age, from what was supposed to be a paralytic stroke. He was an ac-

tive politician, and served several years as State sena- tor. His farm is located on Pigeon Creek, northwest of Scenery Hill, upon which Mr. Letherman had erected a large and handsome stone mansion a few years before his death. He left a widow, one son, and several daughters, all of whom reside upon the home- stead.

The first person known to have kept tavern in what is now West Bethlehem township was Isaiah Ball, his house being open to the public in 1782. In 1794, John Meeks had opened a house for public entertain- ment. He was followed a few years later by William Meeks and Absalom Hawkins, the first named having a tavern in operation in 1801, and the latter in 1803. The Hawkins tavern was upon the site of the resi- dence of the heirs of Edward Taylor, east of Hills- borough.

Mr. William Robinson, now nearly eighty years of age, lives in Hillsborough, and from him can be learned many interesting anecdotes of the pioneer days of West Bethlehem township. He also relates many incidents of the staging days when the long lines of stages were passing over the National road be- tween Wheeling and Cumberland, being himself one of the regular drivers. Addis Lynn, who worked for Stephen Hill, of Hillsborough, was a noted driver, and John Buck drove for Daniel Moore, of Washing- ton, Pa., and L. W. Stockton, of Uniontown.

Churches .- In the year 1797 measures were taken by the earliest religious society known in West Beth- lehem township toward erecting a house for worship. This was known as the "Redstone" church, and was built upon land purchased of Thomas Crooks for that purpose. The trustees of the society were Joshua Davis, Leonard Roberts, William Allen, John Welch, Thomas Richardson, and James Eaton, who, on July 11, 1797, purchased of Thomas Crooks a piece of land containing one rood and thirty-seven perches, "situ- ate on the Redstone road," for which they paid a con- sideration of five shillings on that date. A proviso in the contract granted to those attending church the privilege of passing to and from a spring on other land of Mr. Crooks. This church was built under the charge and supervision of Rev. Joseph Doddridge, and was located about half a mile below the site of the village of Hillsborough. It was entirely aban- doned many years ago, and by some it is thought to have been identical with the Episcopal Church which was pulled down some thirty years ago, the logs being used to construct the house now occupied by Edward Taylor. The graveyard in connection with this church is called the Crooks Graveyard. It was originally well laid out and cared for, but is now unfenced and neg- lected. In passing through it one sees that the first interments date back more than eighty years. From the inscriptions it is seen that Judith Parr died in Oc- tober, 1802, aged seventy-nine years; Col. Thomas Crooks died Feb. 25, 1815, past eighty years of age; Judith Crooks died April 30, 1823, nearly eighty-four

years of age; Henry Huntsberry died Feb. 7, 1830, seventy years old; Robert Rigle died Oct. 1, 1848, aged ninety years ; Lieut .- Col. Roger S. Dix, U.S.A., died Jan. 7, 1849; William Dickerson died Aug. 13, 1859, ninety-two years of age.

The German Baptist (or Dunkard) Church was first organized in West Bethlehem about 1800, with the Rev. Mr. Bruist as its pastor. The first place for holding meetings was at the brick church on Ten- Mile Creek, which house is still in the possession of the society, and is used for one of the several meet- ing places. About the year 1858 the frame edifice situated on Pigeon Creek was built, having dimen- sions of forty by sixty feet. Some time prior to 1838, Rev. Mr. Bruist was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Helft, and he in turn was succeeded by that clergyman known as Grandfather John Spohn, whose father came from east of the mountains into this section in the year 1785. Rev. Mr. Spohn, when a small child, was brought across the Alleghenies in a sack thrown across the back of a mule, and, together with a stone, balanced the weight of his sister, who occupied the other end of the sack. Upon arriving here the father of Rev. Mr. Spohn purchased the farm now occupied by Solomon Mathews, of West Bethlehem township, giving a gun for the land. During the ministry of Rev. Mr. Spohn the German Baptist (or Dunkard) So- ciety began to assume definite shape as a church. The succeeding minister was Rev. George Wise, who eventually removed to Illinois, and was succeeded by Rev. John Wise, who remained as the minister for forty years. He then removed to Illinois, and Rev. A. J. Sterling, of Fayette County, preached for. four years. The only minister of the German Baptist faith now officiating in Washington County is the Rev. J. M. Tombaugh. The following are the names of the members of this society prior to the year 1838, and after Rev. Mr. Helft had assumed the pastorate : Rev. Mr. Helft, pastor; Jacob Garber, Sr., elder ; Daniel Spohn, Sally Spohn, Israel Bigler, Sr., Catha- rine Bigler, Andrew Wise, Samuel Thomas, Henry Tanner, Joseph Grable, Sr., Barbara Grable, Jacob Y. Spohn, John Spohn, John Miller, Sr., John Miller, Jr., John Miller, Nancy Miller, John Lane, Hannah Leasor, Robert Guttery, Peter, Joshua, Rebecca, Eze- kiel, and Elizabeth Swihart.
