The family of Burchfield now in this county, descended from Aquilla Burchfield, who, before the Revolutionary War, re-ided in Maryland. He came first to Milford township in 1772 and purchased a tract of land later known as the Kerlin place, and, in 1774, moved to what is now Monroe township, and took up land in Black Dog Valley (now known as Chester Val- 1805, aged sixty-eight. His wife, Elizabeth, survived several years later. Their children were Charles, Aquilla, Thomas, James, Robert, Margaret and Sarah.

Aquilla, Jr., married Elizabeth Cookson. He, with his brother Robert, warranted a tract of three hundred and eighty-three acres in the valley, in November, 1794, and settled there, where Aquilla in that year was keeping tavern ; later he removed to Millerstown. They had a number of children, who married and settled in other parts. Ile married Jane Fleming, as a second wife, by whom he had several children, all of whom emigrated West.
'Thomas married, settled near Pine Swamp and had six children, all of whom went West about 1825.

Samuel Watts was a native of Bucks County. Ilis father, Sammel Watts, emigrated from Scot- land and was in the Revolution and was killed at the battle of Monmonth. Samuel came to Northumberland County in 1809 and settled at New Berlin (now Union County). In 1811 he moved to Greenwood township (now Monroe), where he purchased a farm of - Gottshall, near where his son Thomas now lives. He had several sons,-Sammel Watts (ex-associate judge Richfield and David and Joseph at Mitilin- town.
John Krebs, or Kreps, was a resident in the valley, where John McConnell now owns, as early as 1778; later George Kreps succeeded to the property.
John Niemond, about 1800, purchased land at the head of Chester Valley; and September 16, 1823, purchased one hundred and forty-nine acres of Jacob Inkinton, which was warranted June 6, 1814. His sons were Samnel, Joseph and Simon, and a daughter, Elizabeth. The St. John's Lutheran Church was erected on part of the Niemond land, and is known as Nie- mond's Church. His grandson John, is now on part of the farm. Frederick Keller, a native of Lancaster County, was in the Revolution, after which he settled many years in his native county. He came to Chester Valley and leased

Jacob settled on the home- place ; George and Heury in vicinity ; Daniel and John went West ; Samuel, a son of Jacob, now lives on the homestead.
Joseph Page settled in 1792 on the farm now owned by Joseph, his grandson. His son Abraham settled on the homestead and for a time owned the Sellers mill, now Robert Humphrey's.
Swartz Valley takes its name from a family of that name, who settled there in 1780, as Matthias Swartz was assessed in that year on one hundred acres. Matthias Swartz, Jr., was assessed in 1796 on a tannery, which was aban- doned before 1820. The Rev. Peter Swartz, a United Brethren minister, is assessed assuch from 1805. He had four sons-Matthias, David, Peter and John-whose sons are residents of the valley.
Land in the upper part of Chester Valley was carly taken up by Jacob Landis, and about 1805 was sold by his widow to Charles Magee, who settled upon it. Ile had daughters, who married and settled in the vicinity.
Black Dog Valley, as the valley extending from Little Cocolamus Creek to the main branch of Cocolamus Creek, in Fayette township iscalled, was settled by few people prior to 1825. Of those located were Thomas Jones, Frank Shichils, Robert Burchfield, John Hawk and Harry Anker. About 1856 a number of families from Chester County bought lauds and settled, and the name was changed to Chester Valley. Of these were Thomas Entrekin, Isaac Crossen, N. B. and E. Wickersham, Byard Neils and Rufus M. Ford.

ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN, OR NIEMOND'S CHURCH .- This church edifice was erected near John Niemond's in the year 1811, and the con- gregation was ministered to by the Rev. W. J. Heim, who had charge, until abont 1835, of many congregations in this and Perry County. The Rev. Augustus Ellmoyer preached here for several years, and the pulpit later was supplied by ministers in charge of the church at Liver- pool or Richfield. It is now in charge of the Rev. S. R. Brown, of the Richfield Church,
MENNONITES .- The first church in this see- tion of the country of this denomination was built, of logs, in 1800, on the site of the brick meeting-house in Monroe township, and was used for both church and school purposes until about 1815, when it was abandoned entirely a- a school. The house was used nutil 1868, when the present brick house was built a short dis- tance west of Richfield. The meeting-house in Suyder County, on the Graybill farm, was built in 1854 ; the one at Lauver's a few years later.
The first bishop was John Graybill, a son of John Graybill, who settled here in 1772. Iic was ordained a bishop by Lancaster Conference in 1808, when twenty-one years of age, and died in service, in 1831, aged lilty-one years. lle was succeeded by the Rev. Jacob Brubaker, who bad been an assistant for several years, and who served until his death, abont 1863. The Rev. George Leiter was a bishop from about 1830 until his death, in 1842. The Rev. Abram Haldeman was made a bishop in 1841, and died about 1858. Bishop Jacob, Graybill, now living at Thompsontown, was ordained in 1856, and is still in charge.
For some cause, the congregation became di- vided before the death of Bishop Jolm Gray-

bill, in 1831, and two congregations, known as the Haldeman and Lester congregations, each elected trustees, who held the property. Dis- pates have arisen ; the Haldeman congregation hold the property and the case is now before the courts. The minister of the Haldeman congregation, is the Rev. Jacob Graybill, and of the Leiter, Revs. Thomas and Solomon Gray- bill.
SCHOOLS .- The first school-house in the sec- tion was the old Mennonite Church, built in 1800, which was built for both church and school purposes and afterwards abandoned as a school, and a new one built about 1815 ucar the church, which was used many years. About 1820 a house was built near the Watts farm, which was known as the Watts school-house. Edward Hayes and Emanuel Albright were teachers.
A bont 1825 a school-house was standing on the top of the ridge, between Samnel Keller's and Evandale. Jacob Keller, a brother of John Keller, was a teacher. Later one was built on the corner by John Folkroad's, which was used until 1859, when the one now used was built at Stony Run. A new one is now (1885) in process of erection on the opposite side of the road.
About 1855 a house was built west of Rich- field, which was replaced by a brick house in 1862 and sold to the German Baptists in 1875, who now hold it. A new house at Richfield took its place.
Evandale Independent District was formed a few years ago and contains two school-houses. An old school was erected many years ago ou the site of the old store at Evandale. This was abandoned and a log house built on the lot where the present house, built in 1882, now stands. The other house of the district is at Cherry Hill, and was erected in 1884.
One of the earliest teachers in the towuship was Mrs. Hannah Caveny, grandmother of Esquire Reuben Caveny, of MeAlisterville. She taught from 1815 several years at Auker's Mill, below Richfield, and also near where John Nailor resides, in the southwest part of the township.
In 1858 two school-houses were erected, oue at Quaker Run, the other at Swartz. There are
now seven houses ju the township,-two in Evandale district and in Richfield, Watts, Quaker Run, Stony Run and Swartz. They contain two hundred and twenty-six pupils.
RICHFIELD.
The plat of land on which the town is located was warranted July 1, 1776, to Jacob Moyer, who, May 26, 1791, sold the tract to John Graybill, who, in 1772, had settled upon a large tract of land across Mahantango Creek, now in Snyder County. On this tract agrist and saw-mill had been in operation for several years. He died about 1800, and December 26, 1808, the heirs conveyed the tract to Christian Gray- bill, one of the sons who settled a short dis- tance from where, in 1818, he laid out the vil- lage of Richfield. Christian Auker, February 10, 1821, bought lots 20 and 25, and erected a house, Christian Zimmerman having built one previously. The family mostly settled in what is now Snyder County, but inter- married with the Wineys aud Shellenbergers and their descendants are unmerons both in Juniata and Snyder Counties. The village did not begin to grow until about 1833.
The first store in the neighborhood was at Auker's Mills, and kept by - Clarkson.
About 1833 Jolm Wallis built a store build- ing, still standing, where he kept store for many years. A taveru-stand was opposite, kept by Joseph Schnee until 1844, when it was destroyed by fire, M. S. Graybill, now of Evandale, be- ing the last landlord. John Miller kept a tavern in the place at the same time. The pres- eut hotel was established in 1874 by E. C. Graybill, who now keeps it. It was first used as a store by Abraham Graybill and later by Andrew Kohler. In 1859 Tobias Shull was operating at the place a tannery, Joseph Watts a foundry and Joseph Snyder was keeping a favoru.
The post-office at Richfield was established about 1833, and the following persons have served as postmasters: John Wallis, William Boyer, Dr. J. M. Wallis, A. G. Shellenberger, Andrew Kohler, Peter S. Graybill, A. G. Shel- lenberger, HI. C. Laudis, D. G. Shellenberger, Enoch Shellenberger, Wilson B. Winey, B. II.

LUTHERAN AND GERMAN REFORMED Carmen .--- The church edifice was erceted at the east end of the town in 1835, and was re- modeled in 1858. The congregations each umber about forty members. The Rev. J. W. Siebert, of Sclinsgrove, was in charge for abont ten years, and was followed by Rev. Au- gustus Ellmoyer, who also had in charge the con- gregations of Freeburg, Freemont and Mount Pleasant. He was succeeded by Revs .- Hack- man, John Kohler, J. W. Hackenberger, James Sandoe, II. C. Heiser, -Reed, Jolm Dough- nut,-Reed and the Rev. S. P. Brown, the present pastor.
THE UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH was or- ganized about 1840, and united with the Evan- gelical and Methodist congregation in erecting a church on the east side of the Mahantango Creck, near Anker's mill, called the " Pine Church," which was used until 1874, when a Union Church was erected at Richfield. The pastors who have served are the Revs. John Smith, John Uhler, J. Zimmerman, Robert Arndt and J. W. Buchter. The pastors of the Evangelical Church have been the Revs. JJ. W. Dillinger, James Binckley, J. W. Siebert, Jacob Miller, T. R. Morris, J. G. Swingle, J. W. Bentz, Jacob Young and Noah Young, who now is the pastor. The congregation first wor- shipped in the " Pine Church," and now in the Church of the United Brethren, in Richfield.
THE GERMAN BAPTISTs in this section pur- chased the briek school-house near Richfield in 1875, and fitted it for a church. It is under the same charge as the Goodwill Church. The school-house now used contains two schools and was built in 1876.
INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD-FFLLOWS .- Me Williams Lodge, No. 702, was organized in 1863 and abandoned in 1878. A hall was erected in 1873, which was destroyed by fire in 1880.
Richfield at present contains a population of about one hundred and eighty, a hotel, three churches (Lutheran, United Brethren and Ger- man Baptist), post-office, hardware-store, tin- store, drug-store, carriage and blacksmith-shop,
two dry-goods and grocery stores and cabinet- maker shop.
EVANDALE.
Evandale was on part of the Peter Shellen- berger land, and was sold to Abraham Halde- man, a preacher of the Mennonites. A school- honse was built at the place many years ago. Isaac Haldeman established the store about 1855, and the post-office, which prior to this time had been at Sellers' Mill, was removed to this place. The postmasters have been Job and Isaac Haldeman, Roper & Snyder, Byard Nields, John S. Graybill, and since 1881 M. S. Graybill. The brick store was erected in 1874.
CHAPTER XXI.
GREENWOOD TOWNSHIP.
THE township of Greenwood, in Cumberland County, was erected in 1767, and embraced originally all the territory now in Perry County cast of the Juniata River except that portion of the present Greenwood township lying north of the month of Cocolamus Creek, which then be- longed to Fermanagh township and the sonth parts of the present townships of Green wood and Susquehanna, in Juniata County, the boundary- line being MeKee's Path, which extended from the mouth of Mahantango Creek to near Thomp- sontown, and the Juniata intersecting the Coco- lamns Creek at the Junction of the north and South branches, when the boundary-line followed the Cocolamus to its month. At the same time, Penn township was erected, which embraced in this county about two-thirds of the present township of Monroe, the north part of the east half of the present Greenwood, and the north part of Susquehanna. Its boundary in this county was McKee's Path and the little Coco- lamns Creek. The greater part of Penn town- ship was in what is now Snyder County.
The deed of the Wilt and Dimm property, near the Seven Star Tavern, was made Jannary 25, 1772, by Michael Wilt to Adam Wilt, of Bethel township, Lancaster County, and the land is mentioned as being in Penn township, Cumberland County. It was in this year, 1772, that Northumberland County was erected, and

Penn township became a part of that county, and that part of Penn township south of Mahan- taugo Crock remained in Cumberland County and was attached to Greenwood, as is shown by the fact that in 1785 the following names appear in the assessment of Greenwood township of persous who resided within the limits of Pem township as it was first erected : Aquilla and Thomas Burchfield, John Creps (Kreps or Grapes), Jacob Graybill, grist and saw mills ; Edward McConnell, Samuel and Peter Osborne, John Shellenberger. In 1789 Milllin County was erected and Greenwood township north of the county line became a township holding the same name in Mifflin County, and the part south remained as Greenwood in Cumberland. In the year 1791, at the June term of Mifflin County court, the following described territory was taken from Fermanagh and annexed to Green- wood, npon the petition here given, ---
Upon the petition of Fermanagh and Greenwood Townships, Mifflin County, setting forth that the Inhabitants of these townships labour under much inconveniences on account of the Disproportional extents and bounds of these Townships, Fermanagh being much the Largest, we therefore pray that a line may be struck from the mouth of Delaware run, at Juniata, by the plantations of William Thompson, Joseph Cookson, William Stuart and Hugh MeElroy, leaving William Thompson and Hugh MeElroy to the westward, and Joseph Cookson and William Stuart to the eastward, and thence northwest to the Shade Mountain, and that the part of Fermanagh Eastward of the line thus Described may be struck off' therefrom and annexed to Greenwood Township.
Upon this petition the court appointed Sam- uel Osborne and Samuel Curren "to have the divisional line run, and make the report thereof to next Court." In September following, on the application of Hugh MeAlister, the court ordered that the house of William Stuart, men- tioned in the petition, be and remain in Fer- managh township. At this time there were but fifty-two taxable inhabitants in the town- ship, and in 1792 eighty-seven taxables were reported. The line was ordered run, and the assessment was made for three or four years, including the territory as near as could be done. In November, 1795, notice was brought to the court that the divisional line had not been run, and the court ordered that James
Nelson, the surveyor, run the line, which was done, and in 1796 there was reported in the assessment one hundred and eleven taxable, and embracing Thompsontown and MeAlis- terville.
The locations of the persons mentioned along this line are, as nearly as can be ascertained, as follows: William Thompson, at Thompson- town ; Joseph Cookson, in Delaware ; William Stewart, on the tract where Me Ali-terville is now situated and a little south of the town; Hugh MeElroy, on the tract north, near where John Shelley now resides.
Samuel Osborne, one of the commissioners to run the line, lived in the limits of the present township of Susquehanna, and owned, at that time, the tract in the southwest corner of the township, now owned in part by Levi Light. Samuel Curran, the other commissioner, re- sided near Cedar Spring Church, now in Walker township.
The township embraced this territory nntil 1831, when Fayette was formed from Fermanagh and Greenwood. In 1836 Delaware was formed from Greenwood and Walker, and in January, 1857, a petition was presented to court, asking for a division of Greenwood into three town- ships ; viewers were appointed, who examined the territory and made a report to court in Sep- tember, 1857, and reported the division neces- sary and also presented to the court a draft of the township as divided. On December 12, 1857, the court ordered that a vote of the qual- ified electors of the township of Greenwood be taken on the question of division. The election was held January 15, 1858, and report made to the court Jannary 19th as follows : two hun- dred and sixteen for division and twenty-one against.
On February 18, 1858, exceptions to this division were filed : First, That the assembly did not authorize a township to be divided into three townships upon one commission ; Second, That the act of assembly did not anthorize a vote to be taken on the question of division of one township into three; Third, That no au- thority was vested in court for people to divide a township into more than one township at a time. The subject wa- again brought before the

conr and it was decided that Greenwood be divided into three townships agreeably to line given and returned by the commissioners. No. 1, Mouroe ; No. 2, Susquehanna; No. 3, Greenwood, and decree granted. This procced- ing was taken to the Supreme Court which af- firmed proceeding of Quarter Sesions, July 21, 1858.

TAXABLE INDUSTRIE -!- The tax-lists of Greenwood township, from 1769 to 1831, show assessments on the following in addition to lands and stock. The division line of 1789 left in the new county only a small part of the old Greenwood cast of the Cocolamus. In 1792 this part was enlarged by the addition of as much as Fermanagh as lay east of Me.Mister- ville and Thompsontown. These lists are made to correspond to these enlarged bounds.
