hurt, the squaw fared worse than he. He was now claimed by the Indians to be one of them. Ile remained with them some length of the, and learned to speak their language. In the treaty which was held some time afterward he was returned, and as they still claimed him as belonging to them, the Indians gave him a tract of land, which was located where a part of the city of Buffalo now stands. Mr. Wilson was so glad to be free, and to have the privilege of returning home, that he never afterward laid any claim to the property given to him by the Indians. Ile came home and lived to be an aged man.
Some time before Mr. Wilson was released, his son had escaped from Canada, having been away about one year. On his way home he walked the greater part of the way.1
THE CENTRE CHURCH was erected in 1830, on the line between Union and Brown townships, by the United Presbyterian and the East Kish- acoquillas Presbyterian congregations. After a few years the United Presbyterian congrega- tion, by death and removal, became so small that no organization was kept np, and the con- gregation of the East Kishacoquillas Presbyte- rian Church came into entire control. The building has been recently repaired and is used as a preaching-place for the people of the neigh- borhood.
at this church were the same as those who preached at Milroy. This church is called the " Mountain Chapel," and is still owned by the Methodist Episcopal Church.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE .-- The first to re- side in the limits of the township was Richard Hope, who received his appointment under Governor Suyder, and served until 18 10.
James Brisbin was also appointed by the Governor and served several years. He was succeeded by Alexander Thompson about 1835, who served a term of five years. He was a shoemaker, and his office was in his shop. It is said of him that when a case was being tried before him, that he continued at work upon his bench until the testimony was closed, when he took a seat upon a high stool and gave his opin- ion and judgment. A change in the constitution in 1839 made the office elcetive.
The following have been elected :

REEDSVILLE.
It is said that in the year 1752 William Brown and James Reed made an exploring tour through the valley of the Kishacoquillas, and, in their search for lands, Brown -finally settled npon the present site of Reedsville, where he lived until his death. In 1781 he erected a grist- mill and saw-mill, from which time until the laying out of' Reedsville, about 1838, the place was known as Brown's Mills. Upon the erection of Mifflin County, in 1789, he became the pre- -iding justice of the courts and in 1791 an asso- ciate justice.
He erceted Freedom Forge in 1795 and con- ducted it until abont 1812, when it was sold to Miller, Martin & Co. He died September 14, 1825, and his wife in May, 1815. Of his sons were John and William ; the former was exten- sively engaged in milling, iron and other in- dustries. Ile was a member of the Legislature and of Congress, and later in life moved to North Carolina, where he died October 12, 1845, aged seventy-three years. William, also a son, in- herited the estate at Brown's Mills, became en- gaged in the management of Freedom Forge until 1833, and died September 25, 1817.
A daughter of Judge William Brown became the wife of John Norris, who came to near Po- ketytown (now Lewistown) in 1787, in the em- ploy of Andrew Gregg. He was one of the trustees appointed to lay ont the county-seat of' Mifflin County and was one of the contractors for erecting the court-house in the public square in 1796. He held many important publie offices in the carly history of the county, engaged in business in Baltimore several years, and upon the formation of the Centre Bank, at Bellefonte, became it cashier. On the 23d of March, 1827, he purchased of William Brown, his brother- in-law, the Brown's Mills tract, embracing seven hundred and thirty-three acres of land, on which was a large stone merchant-mill, saw- mill, plaster-mill, stone store-house, hotel and mansion-honse. This property he held until his death, March 5, ISIL, aged seventy years. The property passed to a Mr. Parker, of New Jersey,
who sold the mill property to George Strunk, who operated the mill until his death, after which his heirs sold the mills to Spanogle & Yeager, who are the present owners.
Miss Sally Brown, another daughter of Indge Brown, married, in the year 1802, William P. Maclay, son of Sainnel Maclay. She died in 1810, leaving three sons,-Dr. Samuel Maclay, of Milroy, William P. and Charles I. Another daughter of Judge Brown became the wife of General James Potter, of Bellefonte, son of James Potter, the carly pioncer.
The following incident has been often told, but is of interest in this connection : Logan lived in the valley in 1767-68; he was very expert at killing deer and dressing the skins, and one day, when William Brown's little daughter was just beginning to walk, her mother was heard by Logan to say she wished she could get a pair of shoes for the little one. Logan said nothing, but soon after asked Mrs. Brown to let the child go home with him to his cabin and visit him. The mother, though really unwilling, concealed her reluctance and gave an apparently cheerful assent. The child went and remained all day. Her mother began to be very nervous at sunset, but soon afterwards Logan appeared with the little girl, who very proudly showed her little feet encased in a new pair of moera- sins, which the chief had made for her.
Logan was a favorite among the whites and remained here till 1771, when he moved to the Ohio (game being scaree here) and settled at Yellow Creek, thirty miles above Wheeling, where a considerable settlement was made by his followers, and where he was visited by Heck- ewekler in 1772. His family was murdered in 177.1.
At the time Reedsville was surveyed and laid ont, in 1838, there were about twenty buildings in the place. A tavern had been kept many years, and in that year the large brick hotel building was erected which is now owned by Ephraim Morrison, and is still used as a hotel. In 1812 Abner Reed was keeping tavern, and in March, 1818, William Brothers applied to the court for a license to keep a public-house at the place. AAbont 1810 John Albright erected a tannery, conducted it until 1846, and leased it

for a term of five years to John Zook and An- drew Sauuners. At the expiration of half the time of their lease they leased the remainder of the time to John Wilson, who, on the expiration, bought the property of Jolm Albright, and con- tinued the tannery imtil 1861, when the business was abandoned. Reedsville at present contains ninety-five dwellings and five hundred and eighteen inhabitants, a Methodist Church, two dry-goods stores, drug-store, grocery and other business places, hotel and post-office.

CRAWFORD KYLE.
Crawford Kyle is the grandson of John ther F. Smith was preacher on the Miroy ' Kyle, who emigrated from the town of Lorra- demore, in the south of Ireland, to America, and came direct to the State of Pennsylvania, reaching the Kishacoquillas Valley on horse- back, accompanied by his wife and child.

which was divided between his two sons. He married a Miss Crawford, whose children were Margaret (Mrs. Hamilton Kyle), Crawford, who settled in Brown township, and Joseph, who located on a tract of land cast of his brother. The latter was born in 1781 on the homestead property, and spent his life as a farmer, having married. Mary, daughter of John Brisbin, of Contre County. The children of this marriage are Samuel, born in 1812, deceased; and John, in 1813, deecased. Judge Kyle married, a second time, Jennett McFarlane, of Armagh township, whose children are Mary (Mrs. John Thompson), James (now living in Brown township), Crawford, Elizabeth R. (Mrs. George MeDowell), Margaret (Mrs. William McFarlane) Priscilla (Mrs. Henry Taylor), Joseph (now residing on the homestead farm, married to Mary E. Davis) and Charles (of Clinton County, married to Ann Campbell). Judge Kyle, though devoted to the healthful pursuits of the farmer, evinced a taste for pub- lie life, and a comprehensive mind and sound judgment, which made his influence felt as a public official. He served in the Legislature of his State and was elected associate judge of Mifflin County, besides holding many other township aud county offices. He was for many years an elder in the East Kishacoquillas Pres- byterian Church, and filled various offices re- quiring not only ability, but scrupulous integrity. His son Crawford was born February 12, 1821, on the homestead now owned by Joseph Kyle, where his youth was passed in school and in the various departments of labor connected with the farm and its cultivation. On the death of his father he became, by inheritance, the pos- resor of about two hundred and thirty acres of land in Brown township, on which he has since resided, and upon which, in 1845, he erected a substantial residence. He was, in 1844, married to Miss Sarah, daughter of James Brisbin, whose living children are Elizabeth (Mrs. Wilson), MeNitt, and MeFarlane. Mrs. Kyle died in 1858, and Mr. Kyle was again married, in. 1859, to Miss Mary E., daughter of John Kyle. Their children are Sallie and Junio. Mr. Kyle adheres, as did his father, to the principles of the Democracy. He is, how-
ever, not ambitions for office nor active in polities. Both he and his wife are members of the East Kishacoquillas Presbyterian Church.
CHAPTER XV.
GRANVILLE TOWNSHIP'
GRANVILLE township was erected from the western part of Derry in 1838. No account of petition or report for its erection appears in the court records, and it first was recognized as an in- dependent township at the April sessions of court in that year. It is bounded by Union and Brown on the northwest, Derry on the northeast, Juniata County on the southeast and Oliver and Bratton townships on the southwest. The Juniata River flows through it and several tributaries drain the township northerly and sontherly.
At the time Granville was made a separate township, in 1838, it contained two hundred and three taxables and the following industries other than farming: Daniel Brought, still-house; David W. Hulings, furnace ; James McCurdy, tan-yard; Isaac & Joseph Strode, old saw-mill; Amos Strode, grist-mill; Augustine & George Wakefield, grist and saw-mill; John Henry, carding-machine; John McFadden's heirs, saw- mill; Rev. James Johnston's heirs, clover and saw-mill.
The carly settlers in this township located at the foot of the mountain, of whom William Armstrong was one. A warrant was issued to him the first day warrants were granted from the Land Office ( February 3, 1755). His warrant called for ninety-nine acres. Mr. Armstrong lived here, and in 1793 forty-four acres of it were owned by James McCord, who, November Ist of that year, sold it to Philip Minehart, who bought, March 13, 1795, one hundred and seven- ty-nine acres adjoining, from David Jones, who warranted it May 24, 1791. David Jones had taken up two hundred and ten acres August 1, 1766, and at this time (1794) William, his son, lived on the south of this Minchart land. Da- vid Corbin now owns the William Jones farm.

Jacob West was west of the Minchart farm, of which he had purchased a part.
The old Minchart homestead is said to be where Heury Selig's new house now stands.
The gap in the First Mountain is known as Minchart's Gap, and the stream is known as Minchart's Run. In 1798-99, and a few years later, Philip Minchart had a saw-mill on this run. lle had a son, George, who settled on the Hope farm, a part of the original Holt estate. John Minchart, a son of George, lives on the east side of the river. Thomas Holt, in 1762, took ont a warrant for four Indred acres of land on Brightsfield Run and the Juniata River. He lived near what was later Hope Furnace, and in 1766 purchased other lands. The Rev. Charles Beatty stopped at his house on the night of August 25, 1766, when on his mis- sionary tour through this county. Mr. Holt died before 1798 and left the estate to his chil- dren. It was sold in that year to General William Lewis, of Berks County, who at once erected " Hope Furnace." Part of the Furnace tract was sold to Robert Hope, who lived and died there. His children were Robert, Mary (Mrs. George Davis), Thomas and Eliza. Robert settled in Oliver township. Thomas Evans, in August, 1767, took up a tract of two hmidred and forty-eight acres. Hc was for a short time connected with General Lewis in Hope Furnace. Joseph Swift, of Philadelphia, on April 10, 1755, took up four Imdred acres, and April 19 and August 4, 1766, took up six Innidred aeres in two tracts. This land lays along the JInniata River, in what is now known as the Loop. Andrew Mayes came to Derry township in 1792, and built the stone grist-mill above Lewistown, for many years owned by James Milligan. He sold the property, and March 22, 1811, pm- chased of Jolm W. and Samuel Swift, sons of Joseph, two tracts of land, one of three hun- dred and ninety -eight acres, called " Palmyra," the other of three hundred and nineteen acres, called " Homestead." The homestead is now owned by the heirs of Judge Samuel Woods. Andrew Mayes had sons,-Andrew, James, Wil- liam and Matthew. Andrew, the eldest son, lived and died at the homestead. William, a
son of Andrew, resided at the homestead and sold it to Joseph Milligan. Matthew settled on part of the home tract and died there. Mrs. George W. Sault is a daughter of Matthew and lives on the tract she inherited from her father.
In 1821 William P. Elliott purchased a part of what was originally the Swift estate, and moved to the place from Lewistown. lle re- mained there until 1811, and returned to Lew- istown, where he still resides.
The property now owned by Samuel McCoy was part of' one of the large tracts taken up by Joseph Swift, of Philadelphia, Angust 4, 1766, and contained three hundred and twenty-five teres. It was sold by bis heirs to Joseph Matthews in 1812, and he, in 1815, conveyed it to David Yoder. Later by sheriff's sale, it passed to Christian King, and in time to Abraham Stutzman, who, October 8, 1836, sold one hm- dred and forty-seven acres of it to Joseph Trim- bull, who came from Concord, Delaware County, where his family had lived for generations, and settled on the place. A daughter became the wife of Dr. Abraham Rothrock, of McVey- town. It lies on the bank of the Juniata River, opposite the Brought farm.
The MeFaddens bought a part of the Mine- hart farm, and Joseph MeFadden built a saw- mill on Minehart Run about 1820. The farm is now owned by Sylvester Brought. The mill was abandoned about 1875.
General William Irvine, of Centre County, abont 1846, creeted on Minchart Run and in Minehart Gap a large saw-mill, half a dozen tenement-houses and a tramway to conncet with the railroad at Granville Station. The mill did a flourishing business for fifteen or twenty years, after which time the mill was abandoned.
On the Ist day of August, 1766, Isaac Strode took ont a warrant for three hundred acres of land on Brightfield's Run (now called Strode's Rum). In 1793 JJoseph Strode erceted on the rum and on the Strode tract a saw-mill and a grist- mill. On the 18th of December, 1800, Joseph Strode and Jesse Evans advertised that they had erected a new filling-mill on Brightfield's Run, and in the Western Star, published at Lewistown, they advertised that.

received for this mill at the house of Mr. Jacob Walters, of Lewistown, and Captain David Davidson, in Mifflintown." Mr. Walters was postmaster at this time, and Mr. Davidson was tavern-keeper at Mifflintown. This fulling- mill stood below the grist-mill in the hollow, at the crossing of the roads. It was a one-story log building; the carding-machines were at the grist-mill above. The fulling-mill was abandoned about forty years ago, and was fitted as a foundry and machine-shop by Orman Whitworth, who continued in business for twenty years, man- ufacturing plows and castings. It has long since disappeared. The grist-mill is still in use, having had repairs many times. . saw-mill is above the grist-mill. The sons of Joseph Strode were .Amos, Joseph, George and Isaac. They all settled at the place, and at present Joseph Strode, son of Amos, owns part of the original tract, the grist-mill and a store across the run, in Oliver township. An- drew and Isaac Strode, sons of Joseph, occupy the old homestead. Two daughters of George Strode live on part of the tract.
James Lyon emigrated from Ireland in 1763, and in 1768 was in possession of two hundred acres of land near what is now Anderson Sta- tion. On March 4, 1787, he took out a war- rant for one hundred acres, and again, July 9, 1787, another hundred. James Lyon lived and died on the land he located, and left seven chil- dren-William, Margaret, Elizabeth, Nancy, Isabella, Mary and James-of whom Margaret, his second child, married John Oliver, who lo- cated near the Lyon homestead, now in Oliver township. William, the eldest son, warranted four hundred acres of land March 12, 1791, and lived on the present Silas Glasgow farm. He married Rebecca Graham and died in 1827. HIe left the farm to his son, George A., who lived there for a time and moved to Union township, and was also in business from 18BB to 1817 in MeVeytowu. George married, for his second wife, Sidney, the youngest daughter of Andge John Oliver. She is now living at Me Veytown. A daughter, Ann Eliza, married Stewart Turbett, of Tuscarora Valley, and settled there. James, another son of Wil- liam, settled on a farm on the north side of the
river, which his father owned, and died there. Elizabeth, a daughter of James Lyon, Sr., mar- ried Enoch Me Vey, a brother of John McVey, the founder of Me Veytown. They settled there for a short time and moved to Ohio. Nancy and Isabella (twins) cach married a John Patterson, cousins, and of the Patterson- of Juniata County, where they settled and die. Mary became the wife of Robert Forsythe, of Derry township, and settled on the farm at the foot of Jack's Mountain, which Robert Forsythe, his father, purchased in 1817. James, the youngest son, settled in Bedford County. David Steel, on the 21st of October, 1777, purchased a tract of land along the Juni- ata River, in Derry township (now Granville), of James Armstrong. In 1786 he took ont a warrant for one hundred acres adjoining, and a year later bought one hundred acres which had been warranted by William Armstrong in Jan- uary, 1786.
David Steel erected on his farm a tavern- house which was known far and near as " Rob Roy." It was built against the bank and was entered from the ground on both floors. It is related of some roysterers that at onetime oneof them rode horseback in on the lower floor, up the stairs and ont the upper door into the orchard. David Steel died in 1821 and left " Rob Roy " and thirty acres to his son William, who kept the tavern several years. It stood where Abra- ham Hufferd now lives, and the old tavern was kept by him for a time.
David Steel left to his son Alexander ninety-four acres where he then lived. This property, AApril 1, 1886, was sold to Owen Owens, who lived there many years. David Steel left fourteen acres of the homestead to John Steel, his son, and other lands to Thomas and Mary. Thomas lived and died in the township, where his son Jacob now lives, at the foot of the mountain.
Andrew MeKee, of Cumberland County, laid a warrant for one Inindred and fifteen aeres in what is now Granville township, December 9, 1784. The farm is now owned by Harvey McKee. He had two sons -Robert and Thomas-and a daughter who married Robert Means. J. A. MeKee, of Lewistown, is a son of Thomas R. David Mckee about the same
