Mount Patrick was named "The Garden Tract," and emque by purchase into possession of Brubaker, and later was purchased by Peter Ritner, brother of Governor Ritner. It was aftewards sold at sheriff's sale to the Lykens Valley Coal Company; this sale took place prior to 1830. The coal company built the first rail- road in the county, which extended from the river to the canal-basin.
In 1845 this property was sold to Judge George Blatteaberger, who now owns it. This land extends along the river-front nearly a mile above the Martin Waln tract of 1772.
MONTGOMERY'S FERRY.
The Samuel Rankin tract passed to Joseph Clark on the 12th of December, 1776, whose daughter, Mary, married John Black, of Juni- ata township, who subsequently acquired title to the property, for he sold, on November 17, 1827, the Rankin tract of two hundred and eighty- two acres, for forty-eight hundred and twenty- two dollars, to William Montgomery, of Buffalo township, from whom Montgomery's Ferry took its name.
On the Dauphin side of the river this ferry was known as Morehead's Ferry, for the reason that the Moreheads owned the land on which a landing was made.

EDUCATIONAL .- The oldest school in Buf- falo township was kept in a log cabin, built for the purpose in 1808, at the base of Half Fall Hills, on Richard Board's place. The teachers of this school were George Baird, Benjamin Elliot, Mary MeMullen and James Denniston, who was the last, in 1821. The first Sunday- school in Bneke's Valley was organized in this house in 182 1.
In 1821 a log school-house was built at Bucke's grave-yard, which was used as a church and a school. The teachers in this house were Joseph Foster, And Medinuis, Francis Laird, David Mitchell and Samuel Stephens.
lu a short time after these schools, two other houses were erected,-one where Bucke's cabin

-tood, on Bair's farm, and another at Montgom- ery's Ferry.
L'entre school-house was situated on the road bading from Patterson's to Montgomery's Ferry, at the corner of the New Buffalo road. This house was subsequently moved about a mile cast of this location, in the woods, on lands of Jacob Bucke. This house was used for school purposes about ten years, until 1857, when it was burned, and then the old house, called the Baird school- house, was used for five or six successive years, intil the old Centre school-house was built. The new brick school-house was built at Centre in 1879, and, as fast as new houses replace the ok one-, brick houses are built.
The oldest school-house in Hunter's Valley was erected on the land of Joseph Hunter (now Abrain Crow). This was a roughly-built log house, covered with a slab roof, and in it was kept the school for ten or twelve families, who lived within a radius of two or three miles around it.
At a meeting of citizens, in a public school- house, held on Saturday, December 6, 1834, a vote was taken to accept or reject the school law and appropriations, with forty-six for rejecting the law and appropriations and one for it. The -chool directors did not vote. On the 5th of November, 1835, a meeting, to examine teachers, was held at the public-house of John Patterson, at Jummiata Falls post-office. The directors present were Joseph Foster, George Baird, George Arnold and William Howe. In 1837 Buffalo township had seven male teachers, whose qualifications were reported good and sufficient to teach the branches required.
In 1840 the finds of Buffalo township were med in building school-houses, and in conse- quence the schools were not in operation this year .
From 1874 to 1878 the directors of Buffalo township visited the schools as a whole board a number of times during the term and carefully inspected the condition of the schools. This was the period of the most marked progress,
Twenty-six school-teachers have come ont of the public schools of this township since the free schools began.
Professor S. E. Mefinnes, principal of the
public schools of Steeltou, Pa., is a native of this township.
CHAPTER XXIX. SPRING TOWNSHIP !!
ON April 5, 1819, James Black, Esq., of Sa- ville, and Richard Adams, of Madison, two of the viewers appointed by an order of the court, at the November sessions of the preceding year, "to view and alter the township line between Spring and Centre townships, so as to incluide Abraham Kistler and David Stambaugh in Spring township," reported that such alteration of the township lines was " necessary and proper," and the report was confirmed by the court.
The above is all that can be found upon the Quarter Sessions Dockets bearing upon the erection of the township of Spring.
By other authorities it is stated that appli- cation was made at the January term of court in 1848, setting forth that a new township was about to be made out of Tyrone. The court appointed Richard Adams, James Black and Wm. B. Anderson to examine into the propri- ety of the division. The two first-named re- ported a new township, and named it " Law- renee." The next succeeding August court the report was confirmed, although one hundred and two citizens of Carroll remonstrated, and the new township was named "Spring."
The township contains thirty square miles of surface, and is drained by Sherman's Creek. The township elections are held at Milltown.
In 1850 Spring township had a population of 1281, and 215 houses, 218 families, 105 . farms and 14 productive establishments. The population in 1880 was 1538.
One president judge and four associate judges have been citizens of the township, the aggre- gate length of whose terms has been forty-five years. Their names are Judge B. F. Junkin, Associate Indges John Junkin (father of the first mentioned ), Jacob Sheibley, John Bear and Wim. Grier. Chief Justice Hiram John Ban-

EARLY LOCATIONS .- A tract containing eleven hundred acres, lying between Malatoy Hill and Limestone Ridge, including Elliotts- burg, was the subject of much controversy from 1755 until 1782, when it was finally settled by arbitration. Settlement, however, was made upon a part before 1750, for in May of that year, ou complaint of the Indians to the Goy- ernor that the whites were trespassing on their lands, Richard Peters, of Philadelphia, and Conrad Weiser, as interpreter, were sent up to Cumberland County to consult with the magis- trates and remove the trespassers. They went to the house of George Croghan, where they met in commeil five Indians, delegates from the Indian nation, and Andrew Montonr, an inter- preter, after which Richard Peters, Conrad Weiser, the five magistrates and the sheriff went up the Big Juniata, between Thompson- town and Mifflintown, where there was a set- tlement, the account of which will be found in Walker township, Jumuiata County.
Mr. Richard Peters, in his letter of May, 1750, says of the magistrates who left his party on the 24th of May,-
.
" Mr. Benjamin Chambers and Mr. George Croghan had about an hour before separated from us; and on meeting them again in Cumberland County, they re- ported that they had been at Sheerman's Creek, or Little Juniata, situate about six miles over the Blue Mountain, and found there James Parker, Thomas Parker, Owen MeKein, John McClare, Richard Kirk- patrick, James Murray, John Scott, Henry Gass, John Cowan, Simon Girtee and John Kilough, who had settled lands and erected Cabins or log Houses thereon ; and having convicted them of trespass on their view, they had bound them in recognizances of the penalty of one hundred Pounds to appear and answer for their trespasses, on the first day of the next county Court of Cumberland, to be held at Shippensburgh, and that the said trespassers had likewise entered into Bonds to the Proprietaries in tive hundred Pounds penalty, to remove off immediately with all their servants, Cattle and effects, and had de- livered possession of their houses to Mr. George Stevenson for the Proprietaries' use; and that Mr. Stevenson had ordered some of the merest of those cabbins to be set on Fire, where the families were not large, not the Improvements considerable."
Richard Kirkpatrick, it will be noticed, was
one of the trespassers and had located and made his improvement on a tract a little north and northeast of the present town of Elliottsburg, and upon this action of the magistrates went away peaceably, with the promise that upon the purchase of the lands he might return and take out warrant upon land including his improve- ment. The purchase was made in 1754, and warrants were first granted February 3, 1755. On the 4th of February, in that year, John Sanderson was granted a warrant for one hun- dred and fifty acres, including the site of the east part of Elliottsburg, the present road from the hotel north being the line between his land and Samuel Fisher's. Samuel Fisher, May 1, 1755, took up a tract adjoining Sanderson.
Joli Lukens, surveyor-general, in a note to the warrant of' Sanderson, say -: "I understand the land called Samuel Fisher's in this warrant to be the land first settled by Richard Kirk- patrick, and that there was a line marked be- tween said Kirkpatrick and Sanderson by con- sent." It appears from this note that Kirk- patrick and Sanderson were both upon the ground before the applications were made to the Land-Office and had agreed upon a line between them, but by some means Samuel Fisher mau- aged to obtain a warrant covering the improve- ment made by Kirkpatrick. It also appears from the hearing before the Governor, in 1768, that in 1758 Richard Kirkpatrick and George Sanderson, the father of John, had made iui- provements and was living there at the time.
The warrant of Richard Kirkpatrick, made November 10, 1762, recites that several years before Kirkpatrick applied for a warrant for two hundred acres covering his improvement and was disappointed in obtaining it.
The warrant of November 10, 1762, differs from other warrants, inasmuch as it was written and not printed. It recites his carly settlement and is here given. It is signed by James Ham- ilton, and directed to JJohn Lukens, surveyor- general.
" By the Proprietaries. Whereas, Richard Kirk. patrick, on or about the year 1750, settled on a tract of about two hundred acres of land in Sherman's Valley, now in the county of Cumberland, before the same was purchased of the Indiaus, who, taking

umubrage at settlements being made there before they had agreed to sell those lands to the Government, on the Indians' complaint, sent proper persons to prevail on those settlers peaceably to give up and quit their possessions and improvements under a promise and assurance from our agents that as soon as the said purchase should be completed they should have war- umts granted to them, and be permitted to return to their respective settlements. And, Whereas, the said Richard Kirkpatrick (being one of the persons who give bond to us peaceably from his said settlement, on our agent's promise to permit him to return thereto, as aforesaid) did, several years ago, after the said purchase (the said purchase made of the Indians) apply for a warrant for the said two hundred aeres, unid hath now again renewed his application and agrees to pay to our use, for the said two hundred acres, within the term of six months from the date hereof, at the rate of fifteen pounds, ten shillings cur- rent money of the Province for every hundred acres, and also to pay the yearly quit-rent of one half-penny sterling for every acre thereof. These are, therefore, to authorize and require you to survey, or canse to be surveyed, unto the said Richard Kirkpatrick the said mantity of two hundred acres, including his improve- ment in Sherman Valley afd. and make return thereof unto the Secretaries Office, in order for con- firmation, for which this shall be your Sufficient War- rant. Given under my hand and the seal of the land office, by Virtne of Certain Powers from the Said Proprietaries at Philadelphia, this 12th day of No- vember, Anno Domini, 1762. JAMES HAMILTON. "To JOIN LUKENS, Surveyor- General."
It appears from the affidavits here given of William Orr and John Crozzer in 1765, that Kirkpatrick was living at the house of Samnel Fisher, and upon the taking out of the war- raut of 1762, Kirkpatrick filed a caveat, which was brought to the notice of the Gover- nor and postponed, and again brought up in 1768. The following is a copy of the proceeding and depositions in the case, and have been ob- tained from Mr. Jas. P. Hackett, of New Bloom- field. Theyare given entire, and contain mich in- formation concerning the carly settlement. The deposition of William Patterson refers to Heury Montour. The names Andrew and Henry Mon- tour, it is now admitted, are used interchange- ably, and refer to the same person. Andrew Montour was sent to the locality by the Gover- nor to warn off all trespassers. A tract of land was granted him by the Indians before the pur- chase, on which he settled, and later, warranted, and was surveyed in his right to William Mit-
chell, and is now a part of Landisburg. Mon- tour evidently gave Dason a right or permission to raise corn there, as early as 1753, as is shown by the affidavit of William Patterson. The; depositions were used in the proceedings of November 30, 1768.

"George Sanderson agt. On Caveat judgt. and Re- hearing as above.
" I'pon the Rehearing it appeared as it did before the late Secretary, that the said George Sanderson & Richard Kirkpatrick both seitled on the large tract of land which the said parties now claim, 15 or 16 years ago, before the Said Samuel Fisher settled there and before it was purchased from the Indians and a division line was agreed on by the said tico. Sanderson and Richard Kirkpatrick between their proposed set- tlements. But that their Settling with divers others on those lands before purchased, giving umbrage to the Indians, and they making complaint to the gov- ernment, the said settlers, by order of the Governor, were prevailed upon to move away & leave their set- tlements on a promise of the then Sect'y, that they should have Warrants for & return to them after pur- chased of the Indians. That accordingly, the Said Geo. Sanderson afterwards obtained a warrant in the name of his son John, dated Feby. 4, 1755, for 150 aeres, in order to include his said Settlement.
" That the Said Saml. Fisher soon after obtained a warrant for 200 aeres, dated May 1, 1755.
" And that the Said Richard Kirkpatrick also then applied for a warrant for his said settlement of which he was then disappointed, but afterwards obtained one dated 10th of November, 1762, for 200 acres, in- cluding his Said improvement in Sherman's Valley.
" That on or about the 15th of April, 1761 (before Kirkpatrick got his warrant ), Samuel Finley, by the direction and as assistant to Col. Armstrong, Surveyed a large traet for the said George Sanderson & Samuel Fisher, amounting to about 1100 acres on their Said two warrants, as appears by a resurvey thereof Since made by Bartram Gailbreath, Duputy-Surveyor, by order of the Secretary & Surveyor-General and now produced.
"And upon the matter thus circumstanced it ap- peared to the late Secretary and the Surveyor-Con- eral (then present at y" hearing), that the Said large tract was very sufficient to Satisfy not only the said two warrants of Sanderson & Fisher, but also the said Kirk-
patrick's warrant. And the Secretary was therefore of opinion that the said Kirkpatrick ought to have a part thereof laid out to him towards the middle, be- tween the houses of Sanderson and Fisher, in such manner as the Surveyor-General should judge most just & equitable for Satisfying all the said three war- rants and so as to include the head and part of a spring where the Said Richard Kirkpatrick cleared a Small piece, supposed to be at or near the place marked in the Said Galbreath's resurvey b. R. K., and the Said Secretary did adjudge and direct that the Surveyor-General Should lay out or cause the Said tract, or So much thereof as he should judge proper, to be laid out and divided amongst the said George or John Sanderson, Samuel Fisher & Richard Kirkpatrick, for satisfying their Said Warrants, and upon the rehearing it appeared further by the infor- mation of the Surveyor-General that he had lately been upon the ground & lands with Capt. Wm. Ly- on and viewed the same in order to execute the Said Judgment, but found it impracticable to lay the Warrant of Kirkpatrick, as above directed by the late Secretary, withont ruining the settlements both of Fisher & Sanderson ; and it appeared also by the deposition of one John Scott, who is allowed to be a man of credit, that after the removal of Kirkpatrick and Sanderson from off their settlements as aforesaid, a certain Andrew Montour, by permission of the In- dians, settled on or about or near the place, and some time after sold the place to Fisher whereon both Fisher's and Kirkpatrick's warrants are located, and that afterwards Fisher, Montour and Kirkpatrick, upon a dispute between them concerning the right of the land, referred the matter to the Said Joh Scott and Several others and that the said arbitrators did adjudge the land to Fisher and that Montour Should pay Kirkpatrick nine pounds, which they determined to be the value of the improvement he had made upon the land and that the said Kirkpat- rick was contented with the judgment ; And it ap- peared also on the Said rehearing that the Said Kirk- patrick has never Since made my improvement or settlement on the said land, not being allowed to do it by Fisher. And the Board now taking the whole matter into consideration, are of opinion that as the warrants of Fisher & Sanderson are both prior to Kirkpatrick's, and were Surveyed before he obtained his, and their improvements are of considerable value, that their possessions ought not now to be disturbed by Kirk patrick's Subsequent Warrant, especially as he had onee submitted his dispute to arbitrators who had determined the right of the land against him and ordered him a compensation for his improve- ment, And the Governor accordingly orders that the warrant of Kirkpatrick Shall not be executed ac- cording to its location and the judgment of the late Secretary, which left the matter in some measure to the discretion of the Surveyor-Genl., who, upon view of the place, linds it cannot be executed with-

but the inconvenience above mentioned. And that the division line between Fisher & Sanderson shall be drawn across the Survey made by Finley at the Lick described upon the plot of the resurvey by Galbreath, agreeable to the old consentable line be- sween Kirkpatrick and Sanderson, and that Kirkpat- rick be allowed (if he chuses it) to lay his warrant on the East end of the large survey by Finley, where Thomas Fisher, Son of Samt. Fisher, has built a Cabbin & made a trifling improvement without any Kind of authority. And if he does not chuse to lay his warrant there the Governor orders that he have a new Warrant for the same quantity of his old one in any other part of the county where he can discover muy vacant, unappropriated land and that the money paid the propes. for bis Warrant be applied to such new warraut upon his release of the other. AAnd that the Surveyor may the better understand this Judg- ment the division lines between the parties are drawn upon the plot of resurvey above-mentioned in Red.
