The assessment list- up to the formation of the county of Dauphin were designated as East and West End of Hanover. Those for the East End we have given with the history of Lebanon County, the whole of which probably fell into that county upon its erec- tion in 1813.
Hanover township suffered severely in the French and Indian war, and many are the incidents of pioneer life which have come down to us. In the " Barnetts ot Hanover" reference is made to Joseph Barnett and his son, William, giving the statement as it came to His from the late Sunet Barnett, of Springfield, Ohio. The following detail, however, ditfers somewhat from that there given.
424
HISTORY OF DAUPHIN COUNTY.
The Barnetts and their immediate neighbors erected a savage people, exposed to cold and hunger, and sub- ject to their wanton cruelty? who can tell of their sleepless nights, the anxious days, prolonged through long, weary months and years ? their fervent prayers, their bitter tears, and enfeebled health ? a block-house in proximity to Col. Green's mill, on the Manada, for the better safety of their wives and children, while they cultivated their farms in groups, one or two standing as sentinels. In the year 1757 there was at work on the farm of Mr. Barnett a small The prospect of a treaty with the Indians, with the return of prisoners, at length brought a gleam of joy to the stricken hearts of these parents. Accordingly, Mr. Barnett left his family behind and set off with Col. Croghan and a body of five hundred " regulars" who were destined to Fort Pitt for that purpose. Their baggage and provisions conveyed on pack- horse, he requested Mackey to examine his rifle to i horses, they made their way over the mountains with the greatest difficulty. When they arrived at their place of destination, Col. Croghan made strict in- quiry concerning the fate of the little captives. After group, one of which was an estimable man named Mackey. News came with flying speed that their wives and children were all murdered at the block- house by the Indians. Preparation was made imme- diately to repair to the scene of horror. While MIr. Barnett with all possible haste was getting ready his see that it was in order. Everything right they all mounted their horses, the rifle in hand, and galloped off, taking a near way to the block-hou-e. A party of Indians lying in ambush rose and fired at Mr. Bar- . much fruitless search, he was informed that a squaw nett, who was foremost, and broke his right arm. His who had lost a son had adopted the son of Mr. Bar- nett and was very unwilling to part with him, and he, believing his father had been killed by the Indians, had become reconciled to his fate, and was much at- tached to his Indian mother. rifle dropped; an Indian snatched it up and shot Mr. Mackey through the heart. He fell dead at their feet, and one secured his sealp. Mr. Barnett's father, who was in the rear of his company, turned back, but was pursued by the Indians, and narrowly escaped with his Mr. Barnett remained with the troops for some time without obtaining or even seeing his son. Fears began to be entertained at Fort Pitt of starvation. Surrounded by multitudes of savages, there seemed little prospect of relief, and to add to their despond- ency a scouting party returned with the distressing news that the expected provisions which were on the way to their relief was taken by the Indians. They almost despaired,-five hundred men in a picket fort on the wild banks of the Allegheny River without provisions ! The thought was dreadful. They became reduced to one mileh eow each day for five days killed and divided among the five hundred. The three following days they had nothing ! To their great joy, on the evening of the third, provisions arrived ; every sunken, pale, despairing countenance gathered brightness, but owing to its imprudent use, which the officers could not prevent. many died. life. In the mean time Mr. Barnett's noble and high- spirited horse, which the Indians greatly wished to po -- sess, carried him swiftly out of the enemy's reach, but becoming weak and faint from the loss of blood, he fell to the ground and lay for a considerable time un- able to rise. At length by a great effort he crept to a buckwheat-field, where he concealed himself until the Indians had retired from the immediate vicinity, and then raising a signal he was soon perceived by a neighbor, who, after hesitating for some time for fear of the Indians, came to his relief. Surgical aid was procured, and his broken arm was bound up, but the anxiety of his mind respecting his family was a heavy burden which agonized his soul, and not until the next day did he hear that they were safe, with the exception of his eldest son, then eight or nine years of age, whom the Indians had taken prisoner, together with a son of Mackey's about the same age. The savages on learning that one of their captives was a son of Mackey whom they had just killed, compelled him to stretch his father's scalp, and this heartrend- ing, soul-sickening office he was obliged to perform in sight of the mangled body of his father.
The Indians escaped with the two boys westward, and for a time Mackey's son carried his father's scalp, which he would often stroke with his little hand and say, " My father's pretty hair."
Mr. Barnett lay languishing on a sick-bed, his ease doubtful for a length of time, but having a strong constitution he at last, through the blessing of God, revived, losing about four inches of a bone near the elbow of his right arm.
But who can tell the intense feeling of bitterness which filled the mind and absorbed the thoughts of him and his tender, sensitive companion, their be- loved child traversing the wilderness, a prisoner with
While the treaty was pending many were killed by the Indians, who were continually prowling around the fort. One day Mr. Barnett wished a drink of water from Grant's Spring (this spring is near Grant Street, in the city of Pittsburgh, known to most of the older inhabitants); he took his "camp-kettle" and proceeded a few steps, when he suddenly thought the adventure might cost him his life and turned back : immediately he heard the report of a rifle, and look- ing towards the spring he saw the smoke of the same, -the unerring aim of an Indian had deprived a sol- dier of life. They bore away his scalp, and his body was deposited on the bank of the Allegheny.
The treaty was concluded and ratified by the par- ties ; nevertheless great caution was necessary on the part of the whites, knowing the treachery of many of their foes.
Mr. Barnett was most unhappy. His hopes con- cerning his child had not been realized, and he had

been absent from his family already too long. Soon after the conclusion of the treaty a guard with the paek-horses started to cross the mountains, and he gladly embraced the opportunity of a safe return. After injunction- laid upon Col. Croghan to pureba-e. if possible, his son, he bade him and his as-ociates in hardships farewell, and after a toil-ome journey reached home and embraced once more hi- family, who were joyful at his return. But the vacancy oc- casioned by the absence of one of its members still remained. He told them that William was alive, soothed their grief, wiped away the tears from the cheeks of his wife, and expressed a prayertut hope that through the interposition of a kind Providence he would eventually be restored to them.
Faithful to his promise, Col. Croghan used every endeavor to obtain him. At length, through the in- strumentality of traders, he was successful. He was brought to Fort Pitt. and for want of an opportunity to send him to his father was retained under striet gnard, so great was his inclination to return to savage life. On one occasion he sprang down the bank of this Allegheny River, jumped into a canoe, and was midway in the stream before he was observed. He was quickly pursued, but reached the opposite shore, raised the Indian whoop, and hid himself among the Respecting the son of Mackey, he wa- given by the Indians to the French, and passed into the hands of the English, and was taken to England, came as a soldier in the British army to America at the time of' the Revolutionary war. He proenred a furlough from his officers and songht out his widowed mother, who was still living, and who had long mourned him as dead. She could not recognize him after the lapse of so many years. He stood before her. a robust, fine- looking man, in whom she could see no familiar traces bushes. After several hours' pursuit he was retaken and brought back to the fort. Soon after, an oppor- tunity offering, he was sent to Carlisle. Hi- father, having business at that place, arrived after dark on the same day, and without knowing took lodgings at the same publie-house where his son was, and who had been some time in bed. As soon as he was aware of the fact he asked cagerly to see him. The land- lord entreated him to let the boy rest until morning, as he was much wearied by traveling. To this the . of her lost boy. He ealled her "mother," and told father could not assent, replying. " If a son of yours had been absent for three years could you rest under the same roof without seeing him ?" The hardy host felt the appeal and led the way to the chamber. The sleeping boy was awakened and told that his father stood by his bed. He replied in broken English, "No my father." At this moment his father spoke, saying, "William, my son, look at me: I am your father." On hearing his voice and seeing hi- fice he sprang from the bed, ela-ped him in his arms, and shouted, " My father! My father is still alive "' All the spectators shed tears, the father wept like a child, while from his lips flowed thankful expressions of. gratitude to the Almighty dispo-er of all events that his long-lost child was again restored.
Early the next day the father and -on were on the road homewards, where they arrived on the second day in the dusk of the evening. The rattling of the wheels announced their approach ; the mother and all the children caine forth. She, whose frequent prayers had heretofore been addressed to the Throne of Divine Grace for the safety and return of her son, now trembled and was almost overcome as she beheld
him led by his father and presented to her, the part- ner of her sorrows. She caught him to her bosom and held him long in her embrace, while tears of joy flowed. His brothers and sisters clustered eagerly around and welcomed him with a kiss of affection. It was a scene of deep feeling not to be described, and known only to those who have been in similar circumstances. The happy family, all once more be- neath the parental roof, knelt down and united in thanksgiving to Almighty God for all His mercies to them in protecting and restoring to their arms a be- loved and long-absent child.
The children serotinized him with curiosity and amazement. Dressed in Indian costume, composed of a breech-cloth around the waist, with moccasins and leggins, his hair about three inches long and standing ereet, he presented a strange appearance. By degrees he laid aside the dress of the wilderness, which he greatly preferred. forgot the Indian lan- guage, and became reconciled to his native home. But the rude treatment which he received from the Indians impaired his constitution. They frequently broke holes in the ice on rivers and ereeks and dipped him in order to make him hardy, which his feeble system could not endure without injury.
her he was her son, which she did not believe. " If you are my son," said she, "you have a mark upon your knee that I will know." His knee was exposed to her view, and she instantly exclaimed, "My son indeed " Half frantic with joy, she threw her arms around his neck, and was clasped in those of her son. "Oh, my son," said she, "I thought you were dead, but God las preserved you and given me this happi- uess. Thanks, thanks to his name! Through long years I have mourned that sorrowful day which bereit me of my husband and child. I have wept in secret till grief has nearly consumed me, till my heart grew sick and my poor brain almost crazed by the remem- brance. I have become old more throngh sorrow than years, but I have endeavored to ' kiss the rod' which chastised me. My atilietions have not been sent in vain, they have had their subduing and purify- ing effect : heaven became more attractive as earth be- eame dark and desolate. But I now feel that I -hall yet see earthly happiness. Nothing in this world, my son, shall separate us but death." He never returned to the British army, out remained with his mother and! contributed to her support in her declining years.

HISTORY OF DAUPHIN COUNTY.
There was another interesting meeting, that of Mackey with the son of Mr. Barnett. They recapit- ulated the scenes of hardship through which they passed while together with the Indians, which were indelibly impressed upon the memory of both. They presented a great contrast in appearance,-Barnett a pale, delicate man, and Mackey the rever-e. The former sank into an early grave, leaving a wife and daughter. The daughter married a Mr. Franks, who subsequently removed to the city of New York.
Mr. Barnett, the elder. after experiencing a great sorrow in the loss of his wife, removed to Allegheny County, spending his remaining days with a widowed daughter. He died in November. 150, aged eighty- two years, trusting in the merits of a Divine Provi- dence. His eventful and checkered life was a life of faith, always praying for the sanctified use of his trials, which were many. His dust reposes in the little churchyard of Lebanon, Mifflin town-hip, Al- legheny Co.

Robeson, on the 17th day of September, 1838."
