Pfoutz's Valley, and Baskin's Ferry was at Duncannon. This road was also a part of the Indian path along the Juniata before mentioned. " At the October sessions, 1771, there was an application for a road from Armagh township at Logan's Gap to Penn's Valley. This would be from Reedsville, Mifflin County, to the neighborhood of Potter's Fort, in Centre Coun- ty, across the Seven Mountains, indicating set- tlers already over there.
" At the same term of court a petition was received for a road from Wm. Patterson's mill, on Cocolamus Creek, to Middle Creek. This probably led from Pfoutz Valley to Middle Creek, by Freeburg, and perhaps to Middle- burg, in Snyder County."
The first road in the territory here treated of, and in the purchase of 1768, of which any mention is made, was in 1773, when upon peti- tion to the Northumberland County Court William Irwin, John Kelly, Robert King, Jacob Grozean (called French Jacob) and Lud- wig Derr were appointed viewers to lay out a road " from the fording between Ludwig Derr's and John Aurand's mill through Buffalo Val- ley to the Narrows." They never reported, and at May sessions, 1774, Samuel Maelay, William Irwin, Henry Pontius, Christian Storms and William Gray were appointed in their stead. At the February term, 1775, they reported the first public road laid out by court through the Buffalo Valley. It commeneed on Ludwig Derr's land (now Lewisburg) at a hickory on the West Branch of the Susquehanna. The Hon. J. B. Linn thus describes its course in 1877,-
"Leaving the river at Stroehecker's landing, it passed up his lane and by an old house that formerly stood in the southwest corner of Adam Gundy's field; thence along the line between John G. Brown and J. M. Linn, or near it, to and through Mortonsville, through or by the site of Ellis Brown's new house, to a white oak about one hundred rods west of his house. Thus far one course. Thence it curved about the hill, and ran in front of Frederick's, where stood the pine; and thenee by Schrack's it ran straight, cross- ing the present turnpike beyond Bichl's tavern. To then ran north of the turnpike a little distance; thence along its site to another pine, which stood near where the Great Western Hotel now stands; thence it followed the turnpike site until it reached its termi- nus, where the Orwig mill road now comes out upon
the turnpike, east line of Jane Little, warrantee, one hundred and twenty rods west of the officers' survey. It was ordered to be opened, thirty-three feet wide."
Before this time, in 1770 or 1771, Reuben Haines, a brewer of Philadelphia, who was the owner of a large tract of land in Centre County, and whose name has been perpetuated in the name given to one of the townships in Centre County, which adjoins Union County, had, as a private enterprise, opened a road from North- umberland by way of Dry Valley, and through what is now Limestone, Lewis and Hartley townships, and through the Narrows into Penn's Valley, in the neighborhood of what is now Aaronsburg. A tree on this road became fa- mous as a landmark under the name of the " four- mile tree." It was situated at the distance of four miles from the eastern end of the Narrows, and became a point on the line between North- umberland and Centre Counties, and afterwards between Union and Centre. The tree fell down many years ago. At this time all vestiges of the tree have disappeared, and it has mouldered into its original elements. A stone monument stands near its site and marks the spot where the line between the counties crosses the turn- pike. A babbling brook, which, on its way to join Laurel Run, comes tumbling over the rocks near where the celebrated old tree formerly stood, still bears the name of the Four-Mile Run, and is a favorite place at which wayfarers on the turn- pike stop to regale themselves with its sparkling waters.
In the summer of 1775 petitions were sent to Northumberland court, asking for a road from Bald Eagle to Sunbury. Viewers were ap- pointed to examine and report a route, which they did, and reported at the November term. So much of its route is here given as relates to the Buffalo Valley,-
" From a White Oak in the Narrows between White Deer and Buffalo Valleys, two miles, ninety- nine perches, to Smith's Mills (now Condor's) ; thence to a white oak west side of Blythe's Mill (which was probably nearer the mouth of the creek) ; thence to MeClure's (who lived on Blythe's land) ; thenee to a white oak opposite the lower end of Marcus Hulings' Island (Milton Bridge Island) ; thence to a plumb at Peter Swartz's ( Miller's place) ; thence to a stone at Clark's (late John Kling's) ; thence to a post at Rob- ert Fruit's (Hineley's); thence to a post at William

Gray's (now Paul Geddes'); thence to Buffalo creek (where the iron bridge now spans the creek ) ; thence to a pine near the head of Derr's dam; thence to a pine, corner of Abel Reese's (i. e., through the Univer- sity grounds to Adam Gundy and William Brown's corner); thence to a post at Aurand's barn (Jenkins'); thenee to John Lee's (Winfield) ; thence to Andrew Gibson's; thence to the gum near Reuben Haines' road ; thence down the same to the black oak on the west bank of the river opposite Sunbury."
At the same sessions the great road up the valley was extended, through the Narrows, to the Great Plains, now in Centre County.
A petition was received by the court of Cumber- land County, at the January term, 1775, "from in- habitants of Milford township, praying for a road from a point near Thomas Kerr's, on the great road from Path Valley, thence to the Ju- niata River at or near John McClelland's." The viewers appointed reported in favor of the road, and the report was confirmed at the April ses- sions, 1775. At the April term following, in- habitants from the same township petitioned the court for a road from the summit of Tuscarora Mountain, at or near the head of the Run Gap, and from thence to Thomas Correll's, on the Ju- niata, at the lower end of the Long Narrows; and at the July term in the same year a road was confirmed from William Logan's to David Beale's mill (now Bealetown).
The excitement of the Revolution, which broke out this year, absorbed the attention of the peo- ple, and no further effort was made to lay out roads until 1781. The first petition was pre- sented at the July term of the Cumberland County Court in 1781, and was for a road from John Keppler's, on the Juniata River at Thomp- sontown to Hamilton's Mill on Cocolamus Creek, now the site of the saw-mill of Robert Humph- rey, in Delaware township. At the January session following (1782) a petition was present- ed for a road from John Harris' plantation 'now Mifflintown) to Hamilton's mill, men- tioned above, thener to Fulton's Ferry, on the Su-quehanna. " At the April term, 17x7, a Harris' Island to John Lyons, thence to Thom- as Kerr's, to extend through the mountains; Mill on Mohontongo Creek.' By the draft it and from Path Valley road to Laurel (or Spruce) Run, on the south side of the Tuscarora Moun-
tain.' Harris' Island was Bell's Island, at Mif- flintown. This seems to be the same route on which a road was asked for in 1775. It was probably opened soon after this last application. It left the river at Patterson and passed directly over the hills to Licking Creek, crossing that stream about one hundred yards below the resi- dence of David Cunningham, and it then came to the present road leading from Patterson to Academia, at the Lyon (now Sterrett) place.
" At the same term of court viewers reported in favor of a road 'from Hamilton's Mill, on Lost Creek settlement (Oakland Mills) to Miller's Tavern, near the Ferry that leads to Carlisle from Juniata.' The draft of this road starts at Hamilton's Mill, on Lost Creek, passes Hugh Sharron's house, crosses Lost Creek, passes over Cedar Spring Ridge, goes by J. Dougherty's bouse, and further on passes David Walker's house and, going on, it terminates at the Carlisle road. This road ran from Oakland Mills, across the ridge, past Van Wert, to Thompsontown," and to Millerstown, Perry County, from which place a road ran to Carlisle through what is now New Bloomfield, Landisburg through Croghan's Gap to Carlisle.
" At the October sessions, 1787, a report was made in favor of a road, which was prayed for by petitioners of Milford and Fermanagh town- ships, 'from Captain Enoch Anderson's mill on Juniata to Robert Nelson's and thence to George Pyle's, on the line of Northumberland County.' At some distance from the starting-point the road crosses Lost Creek at Epenetus Hart's house ; passing Hugh MeAlister's house, it re- crosses Lost Creek, then passes David Martin's house, to Cocolamus creek at William Me- Alister's house; just above the forks of the creek, then passes Michael Page's house, then crosses the Mahantango creek at George Pyle's house, and then down the creek by J. Shellen- berger's house to a maple on the bank of the creek.
" At the July sessions of 1788 viewers .re-

Beal's dwelling, crossed Crane's run, crossed MeConnel's run, near E. McCormick's house, then by Evans' Cabin, on to Graybill's Mill, a distance of nine and three-quarter miles."
The Pyles, Shellenbergers and Graybills all lived on Mahantango Creek, near Richfick, and the last two roads ran from the Juniata River above Mifflintown, through Oakland, Me- Alisterville, to Richfield, to John Graybill's mill, near that place. Then across the county southwesterly, passed Thomas Evans' cabin, east of Thompsontown, across the Cocolamus, to Millerstown.
At November sessions of the Northum- berland County Court, (1786) viewers were appointed to lay out a new road from the upper part of Penn's Valley to Jenkin's mill and Sun- bury, " to take the place of the old road, whose badness is well known."
At the November sessions, 1787, the road commencing at the head of Penn's Valley, thence through Aaronsburg and the Narrows to John Davidson's ferry, was ordered to be laid out.
At the January term of Cumberland Coun- ty Court, 1788, a road was reported favorably " from Reed's ferry, on the Susquehanna, to Bos- ton Shade's mill, on Cocolamus Creek." (Sebas- tian Shade's mill was in what is now Greenwood township, Perry County).
In August of the same year viewers who had been appointed at a former term of court in Northumberland County reported "that they had laid out the road beginning at Derrstown, on the West Branch ; thence to the meeting-house, in Buffalo; thence to Thompson's mill, on Buffalo Creek ; thence to the east side of George Rote's lane, where it intersects the road leading from Davidson's ferry to the Narrows; distance, nine and a half miles. (Thompson's mill be- came Rockey's in 1789.) This is the road leading past the late Francis Wilson's (by the old Billmyer place) to Mifflinburg, Union County.
In November, John Clarke, John Lowden and Philip Voneida reported a road from Michael Shirtz's, at the narrows of Penn's Creek, past Peter Kester's, on the Cole place, to a pine- tree at the end of Colonel Clarke's lane. This is still the main road down Penn's Creek, through
Laurelton, Hartleton, and then south of the turnpike to Milllinburg."
In November, 1788, John Clarke, John Lowdon and Philip Voncida reported the road that comes down from the upper end of the valley, through Laurelton, Hartleton, and then south of the turnpike to Mifflinburg.
At May sessions, 1789, Samuel Mathers, Colonel John Clarke, John McPherson, Chris- tian Schively and William Moor made report that " they have laid the road from the second hollow in the Big Blue hill to Hartley's house, where Peter Kester now lives, on the road from Davidson's ferry to Penn's Valley."
At the November sessions, 1790, a petition was presented to the Northumberland County Court asking for a road from the Mahanoy road on the east side of the Susquehanna River across the Isle of Que to the Penn's Valley road, "to begin at Peter Witmer's Ferry, on the Susquehanna; then by Peter Hosterman's at the mouth of Middle Creek ; thence by George Overman on Penn's Creek, and from thence to the road lately laid out from the Susquehanna River, through Dry Valley, to Colonel Hartley's tavern in Buffalo township." The viewers made a report in May, 1791, which was con- firmed at the December term in that year.
Prior to 1791, Colonel Samuel Miles, who owned nearly all the lands in the lower end of Brush Valley, built a road from what is com- monly called Heberling's Mill, in West Buffalo township, through the Brush Valley Narrows and up through the valley to its upper end. This he did to facilitate the access of settlers to his lands. At January sessions, 1792, a public road was reported, by viewers appointed for that purpose, from Brush Valley, by way of French Jacob's mill (Heberling's), to where it intersect- ed "the meeting-house road." (This refers to the road from Lewisburgh, by way of Buffalo Cross-Roads, to Mifllinburg.) The road through these narrows remained bad and difficult to travel over until the present improved road was made.
In 1840 an act was passed authorizing com- missioners to lay out a State road from Heber- ling's mill (French Jacob's) to Elk Creek, through the Brush Valley Narrows. It was laid

out and completed in 1846-47, and passed along the route of the old road in most of its course.
At November sessions, 1792, the road from Wolf's tavern (afterwards Lyon's, on the Cum- berland road, leading to Sunbury) to Jenkins' mill, thence to Derr's Town, at the south end of Second Street, along Second to Market, to Front, by way of St. John's, to the mouth of Buffalo Creek, was laid out.
Milllin County was erected in 1789, and at that time embraced its present territory, Juniata County and part of Centre. The following is a brief account of petitions for and locations of roads, as taken from court records, March term, 1790:
On petition from inhabitants of Wayne town- ship for a road from Samuel Holliday's mill to intersect the road from Summerville's mill to the State road, viewers were appointed, who report- ed at next term. John Carmichael petitioned for a review, which was granted, and the re- viewers reported a road laid out thirty-three feet wide, which report was confirmed at the December term, 1790.
In March, 1790, a petition was made from inhabitants of Derry township for a road from Lewistown to intersect the road from Beaver Dam township (Beaver) to the Northumberland County line. The road was laid out and con- firmed at the next term of court.
Inhabitants of Derry and Wayne townships asked for a road from Lewistown, past William Smith's dwelling-house and Brightfield's Run, to Samuel Holliday's mill, to John Culbertson's fulling-mill, and the most direct course to Sam- ucl Drake's, at the Huntingdon County line. Upon reports and examination, the road was declared laid out in September, 1790.
The inhabitants of the east end of Armagh township presented petitions for the two roads here given :
"A Road leading from the east end of said Township (viz.) from Thomas Thompson's, the nighest and best road to the Cove Hill, and from thence the Old Road, with amendments, to James Reed's, where the West End Road comes in."
"A Waggon-Road from James Scott's Saw-Mill to the Meeting-house, the nearest and best way to the Road already laid out near the Meeting-House."
These roads were laid out and confirmed by the court in the following June.
March, 1790, the people of Fermanagh asked for a " bridle-road from Sunbury road that leads through Lost Creek Settlement to the tent where the Rev. William Logan preaches, on the land of James Bonner, over the Cedar Spring Ridge; from thenee to the school-house on the land of Robert Hayes, and from thence the most con- venient and best way to Joseph Poultney's Fer- ry, on Juniata," the petitioners proposing to open and keep the road in repair at their own expense. Road laid out and confirmed at June sessions, 1791. . The tent where the Rev. Wil- liam Logan preached is the site of the old Se- ceder Church, in Walker township, Juniata Co.
At the June sessions, 1790, the inhabitants of Wayne township asked for " a road branching off from the road now laid out from Lewistown to Jack's Narrows, at or near William Smith's, from thenee to eross Juniata at Widow Hus- ton's and join at the county line a road from Sommerville Mill down the south side of the Juniata."
The people of Jack's Creek Valley at the same sessions asked for " a road leading from Kishaco- quillas to Northumberland County line, to begin at or near Semple's Lick, and proceed the straightest course down Jack's Creek to Lewis- town."
People of the same locality also asked for " a road from Lewistown to the county line which divides Northumberland and Mifflin Counties, at or from George Bell's, in Jack's Valley ; thence to George Zeigler's saw-mill ; thence the nearest and best way by Christopher Martin's to Lewistown." The court appointed viewers, by whom the road was laid out thirty-three feet wide, and confirmed by the court at the next sessions.
At the same term the inhabitants of Milford asked for " a Road from the Run Gap in Tus- carora Mountain, thence by Thomas Turbutt's tan-yard, the nearest and best way to Joseph MeClelland's Ferry, on Juniata." Viewers were appointed, who laid out the road, and their action was confirmed by the court at the next sessions. Joseph McClelland's ferry was at Mifflintown.
