John Me Vey married Sarah, the daughter of Matthew Wakefield, who settled below on the river before 1768. Their children were Wil- liam, John, Rachel, Sarah, Eliel, Elijah and Mary.
William married Rebecca, the daughter of George Mitchell. He built a grist-mill and fulling-mill on the run at the upper end of the town about 1807, which was destroyed by fire about 1825, after which he removed to a part of the Mitchell farm, where he died.
John MeVey, Jr., married Margaret, the daughter of Benjamin Walters, and settled in the village. In 1823 he built Couch Hall on the Diamond, which he opened as a tavern, and where he died in 1826. His daughter, Mrs. Couch, now owns and ocenpies the house.
Rachel Me Vey married Joseph Jacobs, who was a tanner, and built a tannery on the Me Vey farm outside of the limits of the village. Later Joseph and Urie Jacobs purchased the Me Vey farm of the heirs of John Mc Vey.
Sarah Me Vey married Major Lewis Bond, who came from Northumberland and lived at MeVeytown for several years before the death of his father-in-law, and after which he settled up the estate and moved to a farm near Newton Hamilton, where his wife died, after which he moved West.
Eliel settled on a farm above the place known as Frogtown. Ile owned property also in the village. Elijah settled on a farm above Newton Hamilton and died there. His
father in his later days resided with him and died there abont 1821, over seventy-seven years of age.
Mary McVey, the youngest child, was born in 1799 and is now living in Mc Veytown, a short distance from where she was born. She married Royal Humphrey, who was for many years engaged with the canal company.
In the year 1800 there were but few buildings at the place called Waynesburg. Benjamin Walters owned a lot on Front Street, and in 1818 he purchased a lot of John Mc Vey, on the river side of Front Street (now Water), be- tween the river bridge and the hotel. He built on the latter lot a log dwelling-house down in the hollow and a frame warehouse. From this warehouse grain was loaded into boats by means of a spout. His son, John, succeeded him, and built a stone warchonse and carried on the business for many years. Benjamin Walters had lived on the farm, one mile west of Waynes- burg, previous to his residence in the place, and in his old age returned to the valley and built the house now owned and occupied by Peter Myers, where his wife died. His daughter Margaret married John McVey, Jr., at whose honse he died.
Of the early settlers in Me Veytown who ex- erted a marked influence npon the place, and whose descendants have also been and are still in business, was Casper Dull, who came to Wayne township about 1783. Early records show that, Angust 27, 1739, Casper, Christian and Sebastian Dull sailed from Rotterdam in the ship " Samuel," Hugh Perey, Captain, and landed at Philadelphia. They were natives of Mainz, on the Rhine, in the Grand Duchy of Ilesse Darmstadt, Germany. Casper, the father of the one who came to this section, settled in Montgomery County, near the old Trappe Tavern, and it is thought he was at one time the landlord of that famous hostelry. In this locality he lived and died. Of liis children, we have the names of Christian, Casper and Abraham. Christian Dull was a soldier of the Revolution and commanded a company in Colonel John Moore's battalion of Philadel- phia County Associators, which was in service at Brandywine and Germantown. He lived

and died at the Trappe, and left a large family. Abraham Dull settled in Plainfield township, Northampton County, where he took up a large tract of land. He was an ensign in Colo- nel Arthur St. Clair's (Second Pennsylvania) battalion of the Continental Line, and served in the Canada campaign of 1776. He was a man of prominence mid infhence in the notable events following the struggle for independence. The other son, Casper Dull, was born June 11, 1748, and was also a soldier of the Revolution. Ile was cornet (second lieutenant) of the Light Dragoons for the county of Philadelphia, con- nerted with the associated battalions; sub- sequently promoted lieutenant, November 20, 1777, and then captain, September 10, 1778. Like the majority of the officers of the army of the Revolution, he came ont the poorer, im- poverishing himself by liberal advances of money and supplies to the men of his command and the depreciation in Continental money. After the close of the war he removed to the valley of the Juniata, locating at Waynesburg (now Mc Veytown), and afterwards to a farm near Newton Hamilton. After the death of his wife he removed to the residence of his son, in Oliver township, Mifflin County, Pa., where he diedl July 23, 1829. Casper Dull married, September 20, 1774, Hannah Matien (or Mat- thews), of Inguenot ancestry. She was born February 21, 1758, and died February 21, 1826, near Newton Hamilton. Their children were as follows :
i. Catherine, b. 1775; m. Benjamin Walters. ii. Daniel, b. 1777 ; m. Elizabeth Stanley. ii. Elizabeth, b. 1779; m. Casper Casner. iv. Jolm, b. 1781 ; m. Margaret Beatty.

xi. Joseph, b. 1801; m. 1, Jane Barkley ; 2, Jane Laird ; 3, Jane Price.
Casper Dull, the subject of our sketch, ob-
tained the ordinary education acquired in the country schools of his day, and was brought up as a farmer. At an early age he engaged in the transportation business on the Juniata and Sus- quehanna, and in that, as in the after-events of his busy life, were exemplified the most untiring energy and an ability of high character. When the State commenced its great system of internal improvements, Mr. Dull became a contractor, and constructed some of the most important portions of the Pennsylvania Canal. Among his warm personal friends were David R. Por- ter, subsequently Governor of the State, and James Clark. During the term of the latter as canal commissioner, he appointed Mr. Dull to take charge of a large portion of the canals. In this, as in every other public trust, he was an efficient and faithful officer. He afterwards retired to his farms, and the remainder of his days were passed in mimaging them and several mills which he owned. He died, September 22, 1871. Casper Dull married, in 1815, Jane Junkin, daughter of James Junkin, of Junkin's Mill. She was descended from William Jun- kin, Sr., and his wife Elizabeth Wallace, emigrants from County Antrim, Ireland, and the ancestors of those remarkable divines, Dr. George and Dr. D. X. Junkin. Mrs. Dull was born June 14, 1798, and died April 16, 1885, at MeVeytown, and with her husband buried in the graveyard at that place. She was a de- voted wife and mother, beloved and respected for her many good qualities and charities. They left eight children, all of whom are liy- ing.
John Dougherty, now living at Mount Union, Huntingdon County, was a native of Waynes- burg, where he was born July 25, 1803. His father, Edward Dougherty, emigrated to this country and settled for a time in Carlisle, and married a daughter of James Stackpole, of that place. Her brother, in 1786, had settled upon a tract of land cast of Waynesburg. Mr. Dougherty thus writes of his early recollections: " My father was one of the three that first built a house in Waynesburg (now McVeytown). Born near Lach Neigh, in Ireland, when twenty-five years of age he migrated to America, and in 1795 put in an appearance near Waynesburg, stopping with a family named Holliday, owners of a grist and saw-mill, with

lands adjoining, and Holliday's Island, a ferry and shad-fishery, etc. This was then the most westerly grist- mill on the Juniata River. Grain grown west of the summit of the Allegheny Mountains was sent on pack-horses to Holliday's mill, to be ground into flonr, and then carried back again. My mother and her brother, James Stackpole, were born at Carlisle, Pa. ; lived one mile cast of Waynesburg, Pa., where father built and owned the first stone dwelling- house. My uncle married Dorcas Elizabeth Holt, whose ancestors came from England. He died when his third son was a child. His three sons mar- ried girls of German parentage; hence the blood of three nationalities flow in the veins of the present generation, who trace their genealogy to the Holts of England and the nobility of Ireland. One of the present streets in Dublin is called Stackpole Street. Certain of their ancestors migrated to France. One of their descendants is a cardinal at Rome, in Italy. My father married Margaret Stackpole about 1796. They were married by a Russian prince, who, in ab- juring the Greek schism, the Platonism of Photian relative to the procession of the Holy Ghost, for- feited lands in Russia equal in extent to the State of Pennsylvania, together with princely honors.
" Father Galitzen founded a Catholic colony at Loretto (now Cambria County). His pastorate in- cluded an extensive territory east and west of what is now Cambria County. At that period products of the Juniata and Susquehannah Valleys were shipped on arks, rafts and keel-boats, eastward to Columbia and Port Deposit, Md. Keel-boats were propelled up stream by poles and musenlar power, (for which I propose to substitute steam-power). Baltimore mer- chants supplied all Western Pennsylvania with mann- factured articles and many of the conveniences of civilized life. Dry-goods, iron and salt were carried on pack-horses westwardly vie Fort Loudon, Fort Shirly and Drake's Ferry. Baltimore City (the met- ropolitan see of North America) sent Catholic mis- sionaries, ri the water-courses, through Shade Cap and Jack's Narrows, to west of the Alleghenies. Father Galitzen and other Catholic missionaries, when going from and retiring to Baltimore City, were wont to offer np the holy sacrifice at a station in Black Valley (Newry), along this ronte. Certain aris- tocratie ladies remained standing when the great mys- tery was being accomplished, although Dr. Galitzen bade them, in the name of Christ, then present on the altar, to kneel. He then, fired with zeal, bade them knech in the devil's name, when every knee bent! Again, when about to address a fashionable congregation (many ladies wearing flowers in their bonnets) said he did not know whether it was a flower garden or a Christian congregation he was about to address. At the beginning of this century hotels, to accommodate the trading public and others, were quite numerous. Caspar Dull (grandfather of the Messrs. Dull now living) kept a small tavern at
the northeast of Waynesburg. John Culbertson kept a larger tavern one mile west thereof, and James Stackpole a hotel one mile cast of Waynesburg George Galbraith, one of the owners of the first stage- line, built the hotel now kept by John A. Ross in Mc Veytown.
" It was said that one crooked shilling paid for two barrels of whiskey. When Mr. Culbertson visited Mr. Dull's he would spend this shilling in treating such persons as might be present, and when Caspar Dull visited Jolin Culbertson he would pay back this shilling to John Culbertson for whiskey ; metallic money was not generally used in making exchanges. The farmer exchanged rye for whiskey ; laboring men paid in work ; the hunter exchanged furs for powder and lead ; shad in the spring, wheat after harvest and cels in the fall helped to regulate exchanges. Coru- huskings, chopping-frolics, scutching flax, making cider, boiling apple-butter, fulling blankets (i.e., knitting-parties), quiltings, wood-haulings and many other kinds of work, followed by dancing at night. enabled these people to live pleasantly. School- masters were paid in work or produce, and boarded alternately with their scholars. I remember when there were six or more distilleries in Wayne township. Elections and military trainings were held at Waynes- burg; much liquor was drank and many rough-and- tumble figlits followed. A few log school-houses but no meeting-houses were built until about 1812. The Tunkers worshipped in Hensel's barn, two miles north- west of MeVeytown. Occasionally a Presbyterian minister would preach in a school-house, but the peo- ple in general were indifferent on this subject. Several of the most learned were deists. Tom. Paine's, Vol- taire's, Hume's, Rousseau's and Lord Bolingbroke's works were common in the libraries of the learned, whose opinions were accepted by a large number of the unlearned, although the Westminster Catechism was taught in many of the schools. The Dunkers, an offshoot of the monastic orders, retained the prin- ciple of association, bought fertile lands, and retainrd them, whilst many of those who professed no religions belief sold their lands and migrated westward.
Edward Dougherty was a tailor, and in 1821 opened a tavern on the Diamond, when the turnpike was building from Blairsville to Harrisburg. He died in 1842 at his home. ITis son John remained at Mc Veytown and engaged in mercantile business until 1831, when he went to Hollidaysburg as a contractor with James Stackpole. They graded the sum- mit-level of Allegheny Portage road and Incline Plane No. 6, and the first incline from Holli- daysburg. He invented, in 1831, the section boats, the first one passing over in October of that year. In April, 1848, he moved to Mount

I'nion, which he laid out, and where he still resides. Rosanna, a daughter of Edward Dougherty, married Dr. Elijah Davis, of MeVeytown, who for many years kept. the tavern on the Diamond.
George Galbraith, whose father ( Hector Gal- braith) settled northwest of Waynesburg in 1785, came from the farm where he lived in 1s05, and built a tavern on the corner of Water and John Streets, opposite the present hotel, where he resided for several years and kept the tavern in the early days, where General John Bratton, Colonel William Bratton, John Culbert- on, John Vance, Samuel Holliday, John Mc Vey, William Junkin and Caspar Dull, who were the leading men of the township, were in the habit of gathering. In 1808 George Galbraith breame one of the party that organized the Ju- niata Stage Company, who put on a line of stages over part of the route from Philadelphia through to Pittsburgh. Mr. Galbraith, in later years, built the present hotel now kept by John A. Ross, and opened a tavern and a store, which he kept until his death, in 1822.
He had two wives, -- one son and five daugli- tors by each. The children by his last wife were George (who lived and died upon the home farm, now in part owned by his daughter, Mrs. Retta Clarke), Elizabeth (Mrs. John Ha- man), Juliana (Mrs. William Swanzey), Jane (Mrs. Ketchmuff, of Chester County), Nancy (Mrs. Augustine Wakefield) and Hannah (Mrs. Michael Crisswell.
Another of the carly settlers of Waynesburg was John Haman. He was born in Ireland in 1786, came to this country, and landed at New Castle, Del. In 1798 he came to Sherman's Valley, and in 1801 to Tuscarora Valley. In 1806 he began clerking in a store for William Bell, of Perryville (now Port Royal, Juniata County). Bell moved to Mifflintown the next year, and Haman remained with him until 1811, when Bell, with Haman, began business in Waynesburg. They soon took in partnership Adam Holliday, son of Samuel, and continued nutil July 24, 1813, when the partnership was dissolved, and Haman continued. He soon after became associated with John Me Vey, Jr., which firm continned until Me Vey's death, in
1826. On December 23, 1819, JJohn Haman married Elizabeth, a daughter of George Gal- braith. He continued in the mercantile busi- ness until his death, January 29, 1866, and left six children, of whom Hannah became the wife of William Macklin, who became a merchant in MeVeytown in 1817, and lived there until his death, and whose sous continue the business. Mrs. Macklin is still living at Me Veytown.
Soon after the opening of the store by Haman & Bell, James Law and David Lnsk, Jr., opened a store and continued till November 25, 1815, when Law retired and Lusk continued. He afterwards kept a tavern in the present hotel till his death, and his widow, Catharine, con- tinned.
It will be borne in mind that the mills of Sammel Holliday and William Mc Vey were in operation in the early years, and, with the arrival of the stage-coach semi-weekly, the tavern and the stores, Waynesburg was quite a centre of attraction for the surrounding country. The village doctor also came to the place about 1810, Dr. Elijah Davis being about the first. An account of the physicians will be found in the medical chapter of the General History.
In the year 1829 Samuel Troxell came to the town from Union County (now Snyder) and in 1831 erected a tammery on the lot (now vacant) adjoining and below the hotel. Samuel Myers soon became associated with him and they con- tinued until October 9, 1850, when Myers re- tired and ITorning (Albert) & Troxell were operating. Changes were made and at one time Myers & Rife and Myers & Johnson were in possession. On February 22, 1864, the tannery was destroyed by fire and not rebuilt. Sammel Troxell, in 1862, erected the present tannery on the site of the old Holliday log house, with thirty-five vats and ten leeches and pools. Ilis son, Samuel M. Troxell, assumed the business in 1874, operated it for five years, from which time it has been idle.
Jacob Goodling, who married a daughter of Benjamin Walters, about 1830 started a tannery which later was owned by James Hoods and was abandoned after 18 12.
In 1825 Joseph Jacobs erected a tannery on the MeVey farm, which he continued until

1810, when it was rented by John Robb and soon after discontinued.
Colonel Anthony Elton was here about 1806 as a blacksmith, and had a shop on the river- side of Front, or Water Street, between the bridge and the hotel, which he continued as long as he lived. Ile was the first postmaster and was succeeded in' the business by his sons, Anthony and Revel, and by Revel Elton in the post-office. The latter remained here many years and went West.
Richard Miles, before 1830, was keeping store in Galbraith's tavern building and soon after that time moved up on the Diamond. About 1842 he moved to Bellefonte.
Michael Norton, before 1830, opened a wag- on-maker's shop a short distance south of the hotel, which was discontinued about 1840.
Soon after the canal was completed through the place James Crisswell moved to Waynes- burg from his farm below the town, and built a house on Canal Street, where he died June 28, 1874. Ile also built a brick store on John Street, below the Diamond, and a warchonse on the canal near his house. His sons-Michael and John V .- were engaged in business with him. Ile was chosen associate justice in 1837, to succeed Judge John Oliver. His sons purchased the Brookland Furnace in 1840, and in 1843, James Crisswell built Ellen Forge, at the lower part of the town and beyond the borough limits.
About 1840, General John Ross and Attila Price creeted a foundry now owned by Reuben and John Myers, which they continued until November 9, 1813, when Ross retired and George W. Lyon became associated with Mr. Price ; they continued until 1847, when it passed to Ross & Clark, and the next year was run by James Wilder and B. A. Bradley ; later, by J. W. Pinein & Son for ten or twelve years, until 1884, when it passed to the present owners.
The first brick house erected in the village was built by George Dull, now owned by Jo- seph R. Bratton. Dr. Rothrock built his resi- dence in 1837, and in 1842 John llaman was assessed on two brick houses ; Samuel Brown, John Ross, Dr. L. G. Snowden, John A. Steel, Samuel Trosall and Sammel Myers were rach assessed on a brick house.
The following are the names and locations of business interests of the village in 1836: Mar- tin Stehley, tailor, on Main Street, a few doors north of Market; Nathaniel Wilson, cabinet- maker, on Main, north of Market ; John Wal- ters, meat-store, on Water Street ; James Cris- wel, brick store, on John Street, store-house on canal ; James Cooper, merchant, store on the corner of Diamond, before occupied by John Dougherty and Dr. Andrew P. Lin. In 1846 Cooper built the brick building corner of Water and John Streets, in which he kept store a num- ber of years; it was later occupied by Dr. J. A. Swain as a drug-store and office, now by drug- store of James Forgy.
George W. Coulter kept a blacksmith-shop on Main Street, opposite Dr. Rothrock's resi- dence; George Dull had a small store-house on the canal; William D. Davis and Thomas Ram- bler, cabinet-makers, were located on the south end of Main Street ; Rambler later moved to Altoona ; Edward Dougherty kept tavern on the Diamond ; Elijah Davis, his son-in-law, kept store in the frame part of Dougherty's hotel, and after Dougherty's death, kept the hotel ; Hardy, Millan & Hartzler kept store in the south end of Galbraith's hotel (now torn down); later William Hardy built the brick house now owned by Samuel M. Troxall, and Hardy bought the interest of his partners and continued the business alone.
Randolph Wooden, a blacksmith, in 1836 opened a shop on Water Street, south of the hotel, which he continued several years ; David Corkle entered the shop as an apprentice, and worked there nutil he purchased the shop, in 1851, and continued until 1883. It is now carried on by John Berryman.
Soon after the canal was built, James Criss- well built a boat-yard and dry-dock on the canal near his store-honse, where he built several boats. Lindley Hoops, about 1838 at the south end of town, had a boat-yard on the west side of the canal, and William Jeffries on the east side. One of the boat-houses is now used as a dwell- ing on Water Street, a short distance from the old boat-yard. In 1812 Frederick Hiney was making brick in a yard with John Barlett.
The business of the town in 1848 was car-

ried on by the following persons: G. W. Brch- man, drugs; C. & S. Crisswell, William Hardy, Jolin Walters and John A. Steele & Co., mer- chauts; B. Reilly, hatter; A. S. Fichthorn, tai- lor ; Caspar Van Zandt, Joseph II. Robinson and James G. MeCoy, saddlers and harness- makers; Ross and Price, iron-founders; Daniel Schreiner, wagon and plough manufacturer ; Richard S. Brimmer, tin and shoot-iron ; AAlbert Horning, Samuel Troxall, tanners; Joseph George, George Bartel and William Swartz, boot and shoemakers ; Hamilton & Taylor, George Sweyer, chair-makers ; J. C. Reynolds, A. Roth- rock, physicians; Wooden & Powell, Matthias Neice, blacksmiths ; JJonas Neice, boat-builder ; Ralph Boyle, lumber merchant ; hotels, T. F. McCoy, E. Davis (Eagle Hotel); Fred. Hiney, brick-maker.
In 1863, Captain Matthias Neice erected a steam planing-mill and began business; in the next year Charles Stauberger became a partner and continned until 1868. A thriving business was carried on nutil 1874, when the property was sold to Moore, Me Williams & Co., who now rim it.
The bridges across the Juniata River at this placo were first built in 1885, and a company was formed iu that year. A petition was pre- sented to the County Court asking that the county subscribe to the stock. At the January term of court in 1836 the grand jury recom- mended that the county takesixty-four shares of stock at twenty-five dollars per share. The court confirmed the recommendation. Other subscriptions were made and the work was begin by Samuel Ewing & Co., who were the contrac- tors. `The company was not chartered until March 18, 1838. In a report of the company made in 1841 it is learned that the original bridges cost $6112.50, and that from some cause not stated they were much damaged and rebuilt in 1813 by John A. Ewing & Co., at a cost of two thousand six hundred and fifteen dollars, and one thousand dollars was spent in the construction of stone-work and wing-walls. In the great flood of October & and 9, 1817, they were entirely washed away, and were not rebuilt until 1819, since which time they have stood muharmed, and were toll-bridges until
1872, when the county accepted them and they became free. In the freshet of 1817 a canal- boat was washed over the Huntingdon dam, passed over the island and was lodged against some trees at the foot, where it remained many years.
POST-OFFICE .- It has not been ascertained precisely at what time a post-office was estab- lished at this place, but in 1808 the turnpike was through Waynesburg, and as George Gal- braith was one of the members of the Juniata Stage Company which began operations in that year, it is more than probable that a post-office was established at the place. Colonel Anthony Elton was postmaster at that time or soon after. He was succeeded by his son, Revel Elton, Richard Miles, John Robb, G. W. Brehman, John C. Montgomery, G. W. Breh- man, D. IT. Lnsk, J. M. McCoy, James Criss- well, John Keim and Miss Hannah C. Dull, the present incumbent, who was appointed in 1879.
