The voting place before the division of Fawn Township was one-half mile north of this place. Eventually it was moved to the tavern, which continued to be used for a number of years after the formation of Peach Bottom. This tavern on one of the main highways to the Peach Bottom Ferry, before the time of railroads, was a prominent stopping place for teamsters and travelers. David Ramsay was proprietor for many years.


In the year 1819 a duel was fought by Dr. Brownlow and John Chauncey, members of the Maryland Legislature, near Ramsay's Tavern. This duel was the result of a dif- ference of opinion on some political issue of the day. Brownlow was slightly wounded in the arm at the first shot, after which the duelists and those who accompanied them left for their homes.

Patrick Scott was one of the first settlers who attained prominence in the local affairs of Peach Bot- tom Township. He was an Irish Presbyterian, and early in the history of Slate Ridge Presbyterian church, became an influential ruling elder. When the church building was moved from the mouth of Scott's Run to its position near the site of Delta, he took an active part in the work. He was known far and wide among the Scotch-Irish of the lower end as "Paddy Scott, the coffin-maker." When a new road was to be laid out, Patrick was one of the

He assisted in raising a fund of six pounds from his township to be sent to Boston. In 1775 he belonged to the Committee of Safety for York County. In 1783-4 he was a member of the House of Representatives. He was a man of force of character. As a mark of prominence in church affairs, he built for himself a much larger pew than any one else, and was a conspicuous figure in it. Many an early settler of the lower end was laid beneath the sod by his direction, in the pursuit of his occupation. Characteristic of the Irish, he never would tell the date of his birth, but on the granite slab that marks his tomb, at the southeast corner of the Slate Ridge churchyard, is found the follow- ing inscription: "In memory of Patrick Scott, who departed this life August 8, 1825, in the ninety-sixth year of his age." Three wives died before him, and each was remem- bered by a granite slab similar to his own. The fourth wife survived him.

PENN TOWNSHIP.


Penn Township surrounds the borough of Hanover, and is bounded on the west by Adams County. Originally much of its ter- ritory was included in "Digges' Choice." From 1750 to 1880, Penn was embraced in Heidelberg except that portion which was included in Manheim until it was annexed to Heidelberg in 1816. Within the present territory of Penn there were many conflict- ing claims to land titles, during the time of the early settlement. These difficulties are described in the chapter on Digges' Choice, found elsewhere in this volume. There is some significance in the name Penn being applied to this township, as its territory was

In 1887 part of the township was annexed to the borough of Hanover. parts of Penn and Heidelberg townships. The suburban parts of the town of Hanover and the villages of Pennville, New Balti- more and Blooming Grove are within the boundaries of Penn.

Many new dwell- ing houses were recently built in this village. The land west of the turnpike was owned by Adam Forney, father of Abner W. For- ney and grandfather of David F. Forney, who owns the Forney homestead southwest of the cemetery. This land was taken up by his ancestor in the year 1730. That part of Grangeville east of the turnpike is built upon the Flickinger farm. The dwelling house and barn of Joshua Flickinger erected about 1800, were the first buildings within the limits of this town. John Long owned a house on the west side of the street at an early day. Augustus Dellone built the first large dwelling house of brick. It was not until many years later that other houses were erected. The rapid growth of the vil- lage has taken place since 1900, after the ex- tension of the Hanover and McSherrystown Electric Railway to this town.


Milton E. Bowman opened a store here in 1887 and continued for several years; John Raubenstine succeeded.

This company in 1907 had taken risks to the amount of fifteen million dollars. The offi- cers and directors then were: Jesse W. Gar- rett, President ; P. S. Bowman, Secretary ; George F.

This is what will be known to history as the battle of Hanover, a complete account of which will be found on page 425. Nearly all the hard fighting between the soldiers who wore the blue and those who wore the gray, took place along the Littlestown Turnpike, from the Forney farm at the southwestern sub- urb of Hanover to Pennville and out the Westminster Road, within the limits of this township. While the engagement was tak- ing place between the contesting regiments, the greater part of the brigade, commanded by Fitzhugh Lee was in battle line from the Baltimore Turnpike across to the West-

The corps commander and his three major-generals, Barnes, Ayres and Crawford, and their staff officers, ate supper at the farm house of Henry Sell. Before the different commands had time to prepare their suppers, a mes- sage from General Meade, who had his headquarters then at Taneytown, Maryland, ordered General Sykes to proceed to Get- tysburg at once with his entire corps. It will be seen from this description that the most momentous event in the history of York County occurred on the soil of Penn Township, during the dark days of the Civil War.

On account of its large area Hopewell was formed out of Shrewsbury in 1767. No further. divisions took place until 1835, when the northern part of Shrewsbury was organized into the township of Springfield. afternoon the brigade, commanded by Gen- eral Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, was drawn up in line of battle to the east of Baltimore Turnpike, in Penn Township and remained in that position until the con- flict ended. Nearly all the thrilling en- counters between the soldiers under Kil- patrick and those commanded by Stuart took place within the present area of Penn.


Some of the original settlers of Shrews- bury were Scotch-Irish. The southern part of the township was first occupied by pio- neers who had settled there under Mary- Most of the dead and wounded fell within land grants. The Germans began to take her territory, and at least forty horses, up the rich agricultural lands of this region which were killed, lay along the roadside after the battle.
