These proceedings did not settle the dispute, as it is again brought up in 1782, when the parties to the dispute made agreement to settle by arbitration. Moses Kirkpatrick appears for Richard Kirkpatrick, and Samuel and James Fisher for Samnel Fisher,. These are probably sons of the original disputants. The following is a copy of the agreement and the award :
"JUNE 15, 1782.
"We, thesubscribers, do Solemnly Swear that we will Stand to and abide by the finale Judgment and De- termination of Jonathan Hoge, William Richardson, Robert Robb, Thomas Beals, David Mitchell and George Douglass, or a majority of their judgments, if they agree, and make one with regard to all manner of di-putes with regard to land or any other difference now Subsisting between us.

It is not known whether Richard Kirkpatrick took up other land on his warrant, as he was permitted to do, but it is evident that his death occurred before the final settlement, and that Moses, who appeared in the case in. 1772, was ousted from any rights in the land in dispute. It is probable that these brothers-Moses, Isaac and Joseph-were sons of Richard Kirkpatrick. Joseph and Isaac settled in what is now Carroll

township and Moses in Penn township, where an account of them will be found.
The arbitrators in the case were chosen from different parts of the county, as it was then : Jonathan Hoge resided near Hogetown ; Wil- Jim Richardson lived near the Hickory Grove school-house, Pean township ; Thomas Berle in Beale township, Juniata County ; George Douglas, near Green Park ; and David Mitchell on the Barnett farm, near New Bloomfield.
The east part of the Samuel Fisher tract passed to Thomas Fisher (a son), who also war- ranted other lands, and which are now owned by the heirs of David Stambangh.
The John Sanderson warrants were dated, respectively, February 4, 1755, May 17, 1785, and August 25, 1789.
John Sanderson resided on the one hundred and fifty acres which he warranted February 4, 1755, adjoining the Samuel Fisher tract, and dial there in 1790. He owned eleven hundred acres in one body, and by his will directed that his nephew (George Elliott) should have four hundred acres. John Sanderson, in 1782, was assessed with two stills and a grist-mill, which was run as late as 1873 by its last owner, John Snyder, who bought the mill property from George S. Hackett. In 1829 George Elliott sold his tract to George S. Hackett, father of James B. Hackett, of New Bloomfield ; and for many years George S. Hackett lived and kept hotel in what was probably the first brick house in the county, being built prior to 1790 and stood until 1884. Thomas Gray is the present owner. Alex. Topley bought the Hackett property in 1848, and Mr. Hackett removed to New Bloom- field. The farm has since in turn belonged to John Reeder, John Gray (the father of James and Thomas Gray), who now owns it, the latter living on the old homestead. Portions of the original tract are also owned by William Swegers, William Sheibley, Mrs. Rachel Heuch and others.
The eastern part of the Sanderson tract was bought by Philip and Jacob Stambaugh. Philip Stambaugh, in May 8, 1812, warranted two lum- dred aeres, now the Captain Kistler farm. Johu Stambangh, a grandson of the original war. rantee, now lives on the tract.
East of Elliottsburg, near Limestone Ridge, is a tract of three hundred and thirty-seven acres taken by Thomas Fisher, son of Samuel Fisher, March 27, 1788. Jacob Stambaugh, brother of Philip, bought this tract, and lived and died there. His son David resided on the old place until the time of his death, in May, ISS5. Two brothers of David, namely, Daniel and Martin, were sheriff's of Perry County, elected, respectively, in 1820 and 1835. The farm is now in possession of David Stambaugh, a son of David, and extends from Limestone Ridge to Mahanoy and adjoins Centre township. The Stambaugh farms in great part were in- eluded in the Sanderson-Fisher warrants.
Abraham Smith and Caspar Comp took ont a warrant, June 20, 1793, for one hundred and fifty aeres, now owned by George Beistline and others.
William Power warranted, May 28, 1788, eighty six nere- south of Elliott-burg and em- bracing part of it. This land was bought by Henry Shumaker, and sold by him to William Sheibley and Martin Stambaugh in equal share.
South of Elliottsburg Mathew Pierson war- ranted, January 28, 1788, two hundred and six- teen acres. This tract was three miles in length and of peculiar shape, forming what closely re- sembles a horseshoe, being ten rods at the cast end and sixty-one rods at the west end, and, in the toe of the shoe is about eighty rods wide. The property was sold to Charles McCoy, and by him to Henry Rice, father of the late Henry Rice, deceased, of New Bloomfield. John Kistler's heirs, Jacob Dum and Daniel Reap- som now own the land.
Samuel Fisher, who died in 1775, left his property to his sons, James and Thomas. On August 4, 1785, James Fisher sold his half to John Fulwiler, of Cumberland County, for the sum of five hundred and seventy-five pounds.
On February 10th, 1807, Abraham Fulwiler, brother of John, took up one hundred and ninety-three acres, being a part of the carlier Sanderson-Fisher tracts. The John and Abra- ham Fulwiler lands were bought by Henry Shumaker, and from him passed to William Sheibley and William Kistler.
Abraham Fulwiler removed to Landisburg,

where he kept store from 1815 to 1818 ; was register and recorder in 1822, and died in Lan- di-burg in 1830.
James Baxter was one of the earliest settlers, and warranted two hundred and seven arres, adjoining what is now the farm of William Sheibley, and has been owned by Dr. William Niblock, Michael Noll, John M. Smith, and now by Moses Seiler.
ELLIOTTSBURG.
The village of' Elliottsburg, which is located on parts of the original lands warranted to William Power and Samuel Fisher, received its name from George Elliott, nephew of John San- derson, and was called to Elliottsburg in 1828, when the post-office was established with Henry C. Hackett as postmaster. He was succeeded by Major Cadwallader Jones, James Kacy (in 1837), James B. Hackett (from 1847 to 1851), William Snyder, William Hassinger and Mrs. Rebecca Foose.
Peter Bernheisel kept the first store; it was bought by Cadwallader Jones, and moved across the road. Additions were afterward made by him to the old building, and the property is now occupied as a store and dwelling-house by F. S. Rice. A room in the present residence of William Shively has for many years been used as a store-room, and at present is rented by George A. Smith.
The old tavern was built as early as 1826. Mr -. Gilbert Moon, widow, came from Landis- burg and kept hotel from 1838 to 1842, after- ward removing to Loysville. She was suc- rreded by Jacob Grove, Jolm Snyder (during whose occupaney, in January, 1856, the building burnt down, but was rebuilt in the following summer), John Hench, John Gray, then by his two sons, James and Thomas, and in the spring of 1884, George Barnhart, its present owner, came into possession. At the time of the loca- tion of the county-seat, what is now Elliotts- burg was proposed as a suitable site.
The " Little Germany " tracts were taken np by John Fuas, " King of Germany," June 12, 1794. Fuas (Foose) acenmulated extensive prop- erty, which was left to his heirs. In 1820, John Fuas (Foose now spelled), was assessed on three
hundred acres, one saw-mill and one distillery. .\ tavern was kept on the old mansion farm until 1827. Gallows Hill received its name from the fact that the sign of the tavern was a high post with a projecting arm, from which was suspended an iron ring, the whole suggesting the idea of a gallows. The property now belongs to the heirs of Daniel and Michael Foose and to Solomon Reeder.
Edward Irvine, December 26, 1766, took up a large tract, in part the present properties of Joseph Rice, Dr. Lonis Ellerman, Gustav Boltz and William Loy.
The Rice farm was afterwards owned by Henry Gass, who died in 1838. The property was sold to Richard P. Diven, who later parted with it to Zachariah Rice, at whose decease it came to his heirs.
The Loy farm, at an early date, was the property of Thomas March, whose son, Joseph, succeeded to it, and he transferred it to Michael Loy, and he to his son, William Loy.
Henry Guss, on April 14, 1818, sold a part of his tract to Jacob Gamber, and he, on April 12, 1819, sold it to Conrad Holman.
Caspar Comp, June 17, 1795, took up sixty acres, including an improvement of Hermanus Aldrieks, who, with his brothers, James and West Aldricks, had warranted adjoining lands July 1, 1784.
Conrad Hohan, about 1800, came from Ches- ter County and bought this tract and built a fulling-mill and saw-mill. "Slabtown" received its name from the fact that at that time the houses in the neighborhood were in great part built of slabs from Conrad Holman's mill. Daniel Mcafee bought the property of Conrad Holman. In 1842 he sold the fulling-mill and saw-mill portion to Wilson McAfee, whose heirs still own it and reside there. About 1856 the remainder of the original tract was sold to John Rice, of Juniata County, from whom the present owner, William Hall, bought it.
East of what is now Landisburg, West and James Aldrieks warranted, July 1, 1784, one hundred and seventy acres. George Stroop later owned it. Stroop owned two hundred and fifty acres adjoining Jolin Wilson, Esq., before 1800, and on February 27, 1803, warranted two hun-

dred and fifty acres adjoining his carlier pur- chase. Abraham Shively, at an early date, bought a long, narrow strip of land reaching to the town limits, on which he built a brick house and kept a hotel, known as Blne Ball Tavern, from the sign of the blue balls. This property is now owned in part by David Long. George Stroopsold to the Dunkelbergers, in April, 1811, one Inundred and sixty acres adjoining his other tract, patented to John Wingert Angust 7, 1806, who died, and Stroop bought the tract December 16, 1809. While Stroop was living on this tract he was sheriff of Cumberland County. The Stroop heirs were assessed on thirteen hundred and twelve acres in 1820.
The main tract of the Stroop property was sold in 1821 to Martin Swartz, who, on Febru- ary 4, 1822, sold it to Jolm Junkin, of Cum- berland County, who settled on it in the spring of 1823.
Mr. Junkin was chosen associate judge of Perry County, June 7, 1832, in place of Wil- liam Anderson, deceased, and served nineteen years. On the 9th of March, 1854, he sold the farm to John Brown, of Philadelphia, and moved to Muscatine, Iowa, with all his family, except Judge B. F. Junkin. A few years later the farm was sold to Sammuel Spotts, the present owner, and in 1861 he surveyed twenty acres and the grist-mill and saw-mill to William Heckerdorn. A part of the Stroop tract is also owned by William Linn, of Landisburg.
David Beard, on April 2, 1763, warranted one hundred and fifty aeres, and on August 26, 1791, sixty-five acres, These lands constituted in great part the farm known in later times as the farm of the Misses Mary, Jane and Isabella Foster, who conveyed the land to Samnel Spotts. Mr. Spotts sold the property to Peter Kling, and he to George Leonard, and from him it was bought by Dr. William Hays.
A part of David Beard's tract passed into the hands of Jolm Welsh, and at his death remained for some time in the possession of his heirs, who, in 1836, sold it to Henry Cooper, Andrew Beitzel and Andrew Spahr, in 1838, bought it from Cooper. The two owners divided the prop- erty, and, in 1853, Andrew Spahr sold his part to Jonathan Dunkleberger. The farm of Andrew
Beitzel descended to his son, David, who sold it to Dr. Lonis Ellerman abont three year- ago.
The Hermanns Aldrick tract, warranted JJuly 1, 1781, comprises the Christian Kell farm of a later date, which is now owned by Frederick Sonder. Hermanus Aldrick, the warranter, was a magistrate in Carlisle in 1760, and was one of the first members of Assembly from Cum- berland County.
The Fry mill and the farm now owned by William Weibly became the property of Wilson McClare, who built the mill and sold it to Mar- tin Swartz.
-
James Diven warranted one hundred and ninety-five acres March 1, 1755. He built a tammery. He died in 1818. Joseph and John were his sons and his executors. In 1830 the property was sold to Daniel Spotts, and is now owned by his son, Frank Spotts.
The old mansion farm, which passed out of the possession of the Divens, on the death of James Diven, was left to his wife, who died in 1832. It was then sold to Jonathan Dunkle- berger and is now owned by Abraham Wertz.
Hugh Kilgore, on the 6th of February, 1755, warranted two hundred and seventeen acres, and in 1766 took up one hundred and twenty- three acres. William MeClure married Jane Kilgore, and James Wilson another daughter. To the Wilson heirs descended the bulk of the Hugh Kilgore land, and they sold it to Benja- min Smith, from whom it was bought by John C. Sheibley, whose son, Simon Sheibley, now owns it. Ilngh Kilgore also took ont a war- rant December 28, 1770, and David Kilgore March 1, 1797. These tracts in part became the property of Henry Sunday. He sold a part of it to Benjamin Dunkleberger on April 21, 1816.
By an article of agreement January 10, 1822, Henry Sunday, Sr., transferred to his son John two parcels of land containing respectively seventy-six and forty-six acres, the one adjoin- ing James Wilson's heirs, James Diven's heirs, Benjamin Dunkleberger and Henry Sunday, Jr., the other tract adjoining Benjamin Dunkle- berger and Thomas Kennedy's heirs. At the same date as above Heury, Jr., received one

Inuddred and twenty-two acres, adjoining Thomas Kennedy's heirs, John Sunday, John Keil and others. By this agreement the two vous were to take care of the father, who lived many years after. The John Sunday farm passed into the possession, successively, of Jacob Noftsinger, William Lightner, Jomm Shumaker and now belongs to the Billman heirs. The Henry Sunday farm was sold by his heirs to Jeremiah Dunkleberger.
David Robb in 178 1 warranted a tract of one hundred acres. This land at date of warrant included a "pine-mill," which in all probability was at or near the site of the present Went- zell's mill, and was one of the earliest in the county. The mill property in later years became the property of Robert Crozier, and was bought from him by Peter Hench. It is now owned by Adam Wentzell. An old dis- tillery was also on this property, which was contemporary with the mill and was abandoned but a few years ago. A second tract of David Robb, containing seventy acres, adjoining the preceding one, was warranted April 5, 1785. The most of the land included in the two war- rants some years ago was known as the Rine- smith farm, which later became the property of Alexander Adams, but is now owned by Foster Spotts. John G. Sheibley's farm is also of the old Rinesmith farm. It may be mentioned that the house in which Mr. Sheibley lives is built partly of material taken from the old West mansion, erected on Abraham Bower's property, about the time the Wests warranted their lands.
On both sides of Sherman's Creek, near what is now Bridgeport, lands were warranted by the Ross family-Jonathan, Thomas, Jolm and Sammel. Thomas Ross, by warrant June 1, 1762, took up one hundred and sixty-two acres, and Samuel thirty aeres in 1784. During this time six hundred and twenty-five aeres were taken up by the brothers. Jonathan Ross, on February 2, 1763, warranted a tract of one lumdred and fifty acres adjoining land of Thomas Ross, Hugh Kilgore and Jolm Kon- neds. This last tract is now owned by George Sheibley, Thomas Morrow, Jacob Bonsam and John Emlett.
Across the creek and along its banks, from Bridgeport toward Landisburg, and into Tyrone township, the Ross tract extended to what is now thecemetery. This portion is now included in the farms of Peter Lightner and the Colonel Graham farm, which lately was owned by Wil- liam Stambaugh, but passed into the hands of D. Il. Sheibley and Dr. D. B. Milliken in October, 1885.
Jolm Waggoner bought five hundred acres of the Ross traet on both sides of the creek at an early day. He settled in Kennedy's Val- ley. In 1805 the mill known as John Wag- goner's Grist-Mill was erected. This mill in 1855 became the property of William W. Sny- der and Joseph MeClure, but William W. Suy- der is now sole proprietor.
Waggoner's Gap received its name from this family. At the session of 1826-27 a State road was ordered, and by May 31, 1827, it had been surveyed and completed by way of the gap in the mountains now known as Waggoner's Gap.
On the Ross tracts, on north bank of Sherman's Creek, is built the village of Bridgeport, which first became a centre when, in 1832, James Ball erected a small smith-shop. In 1838 Wilson Welsh started a little store on the prop- erty now in possession of Mrs. David Sheaffer. At the present time the place contains, besides several dwelling-houses, a blacksmith-shop and the large store of John A. Bower.
Along Sherman's Creek in Spring township, and extending into Carroll, the Gibsons at an carly date took up large tracts of land. Among the warrants were those taken by George Gib- son, fifty acres, February 2, 1785; and fifty acres adjoining Francis West and Ross Mitchell, April 23, 1787 ; Anne West Gibson, one lamm- dred acres, April 16, 1798, adjoining lands of Edward West, and including Falling Springs of to-day. The bulk of the Gibson land, how- ever, descended from the West estate, one of whose heirs, Ann West, married George Gibson George Gibson, Sr., was a native of Ireland, and emigrated to this country carly in the last. century. In 1729 he kept a tavern in what is now Lancaster City, having creeted the first public-house in that place. While there,

George Gibson, Jr., was born. The latter, when a young man, went to Silver Springs, Cumberland County, where he bought a mill ; he later removed to what is Perry County of to-day, settling upon the land of his father-in- law, Francis West, whose daughter And he had married about the year 1772. Shortly after he moved to this county the Revolutionary War broke out, and, as colouel of a regiment of West- cru Pennsylvanians and Virginians, he entered the service and was engaged throughout the whole of that memorable struggle. He never returned home, but lived in Philadelphia, visit- ing his relatives in this county occasionally. Colonel Gibson remained in the military ser- vice and was with St. Clair at his defeat, No- vember 4, 1791, and was killed in the battle. George Gibson was the father of fon sons and one daughter. The daughter died in infancy. Francis was born at Silver Spring, Cumberland County, and in 1808 went to Carlisle, and was register and recorder for a term. At the expi- ration of his term of office he came to the home- stead and died there in 1856. George Gibson, another son, was born at Westover, called in honor of the old West family estate in Eng- land, in this county. In his early life he trav- cled over a great part of the world, and at the commencement of the War of 1812 he was ap- pointed lieutenant and served throughont it. Ile was an active officer in the Seminole India War, Florida, and in Jackson's Presidency was appointed commissary-general. His remains now lie in the Congressional Cemetery at Wash- ington.
William Chesney Gibson, a third son, in early life learned the milling trade, but after- wards went to sen. He died comparatively a young man, and his remains are interred in the old Poplar Church grave-yard, Tyrone town- ship.
Hiram John Banister Gibson was born at Westover, in Perry County. (For career, see Bench and Bar.)
The Gibson heirs were assessed in 1820 on four hundred and fifty acres of land, one saw- mill and one grist-mill.
Francis, eldest son of George Gibson, was the father of twelve children,-eight sons and four
danghters. At the death of Francis Gibson the land descended to his heirs, of whom Robert Gibson lives on part of the tract, at Falling Springs, and Francis Gibson on the old home- stead. The funons old mill property has passed into the hands of Sponsler & Junkin, and the farm of John Zimmerman, lately owurd by D. M. Rinesmith, was part of the original tract.
The old Westover Mill was built by Anne West Gibson before 1782, and is one of the oldest in the county. It was used regularly until 1850. After a period of idleness for almost twenty years, it has since been converted into a spoke and felloe-factory, and later into a paint-mill. At present it is not in operation. On the west of what later became the Gibson property, and extending northward, the West family, whose ancestor, Francis West, came to this country from the family seat of Westover, England, with William Penn, on his second visit to this country, about 1700, took up large tracts of land along Sherman's Creek. William West, April 7, 1755, warranted three lindred and twenty-three acres of land sur- veyed May 7, 1755; Francis West, several tracts on February 3, 1755, and April 9, 1757; and Ann West Gibson a tract April 23, 1787; Edward West, one hundred acres, October 27, 1792, adjoining lands of James Diven on the north and other lands of said Edward West on the sonth and east, known as " Quaker Hill." He also patented a tract March 25, 1790, called " Trouble Ended."
Francis West, mentioned above, was the father, and was a squatter before he warranted his lands. His old hut was standing as late as 1834 on the farm now in possession of Judge Blair's heirs. At the outbreak of the Revolu- tionary War he lived in Carlisle and was judge of Cumberland County at that time, but during the struggle moved to his estate in Perry County, where he died about 1781. In his will, dated September 6, 1781, and in subsequent codicils, after distributing his slaves, of whom he had five, he divided his property as follows : To his son William West, a merchant of' Baltimore, who had sold to his father his land soon after he had warranted it, property in Northumber- land County and in Carlisle.
